Book excerpt: During the gold rush, women worked alongside men panning and digging for gold and silver in the mountains of Colorado, California, and all the way up to Alaska. While many books have been written about the frontier women who ran brothels and boarding houses in mining towns, none have told the true stories of ladies who labored as hard as men out in the mines. A wonderful collection of true Americana, this book includes archival photographs of lady miners as well as the mines and boomtowns.

Download or read book Living Screens written by Monique Rooney and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through original analysis of three contemporary, auteur-directed melodramas (Matthew Weiner’s Mad Men, Lars von Trier’s Melancholia and Todd Haynes’s Mildred Pierce), Living Screens reconceives and renovates the terms in which melodrama has been understood. Returning to Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s foundational, Enlightenment-era melodrama Pygmalion with its revival of an old story about sculpted objects that spring to life, it contends that this early production prefigures the structure of contemporary melodramas and serves as a model for the way we interact with media today. Melodrama is conceptualized as a “plastic” form with the capacity to mould and be moulded and that speaks to fundamental processes of mediation. Living Screens evokes the thrills, anxieties, and uncertainties accompanying our attachment to technologies that are close-at-hand yet have far-reaching effects. In doing so, it explores the plasticity of our current situation, in which we live with screens that melodramatically touch our lives.

Download or read book The Limits of Syntactic Variation written by Theresa Biberauer and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the background of the past half century’s typological and generative work on comparative syntax, this volume brings together 16 papers considering what we have learned and may still be able to learn about the nature and extent of syntactic variation. More specifically, it offers a multi-perspective critique of the Principles and Parameters approach to syntactic variation, evaluating the merits and shortcomings of the pre-Minimalist phase of this enterprise and considering and illustrating the possibilities opened up by recent empirical and theoretical advances. Contributions focus on four central topics: firstly, the question of the locus of variation, whether the attested variation may plausibly be understood in parametric terms and, if so, what form such parameters might take; secondly, the fate of one of the most prominent early parameters, the Null Subject Parameter; thirdly, the matter of parametric clusters more generally; and finally, acquisition issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Hill was, and is, a maverick. Born to an Establishment South African family – his father was an Anglo director – his future was pre-determined; a top school (Bishops), a first class degree at Wits University, on to Oxford, and then the steady climb up the Anglo-American corporate ladder.However, his parents recognised the rebel in Ollie and sent him to America where, with a first class degree in chemistry, he went to work for the famous "platinum king", Charlie Engelhard, while waiting to see whether his application to Harvard Business School would be successful. He was accepted– although in the early 'Sixties Harvard Business School was accepting no more than 20 foreign applicants a year. Ollie graduated with four distinctions – plus a lifelong passion for free thinking and, in particular, free markets.Returning to South Africa with a wife and daughter, and another child on the way, Ollie joined forces with a successful engineer, John Hahn, and together they founded a formidable independent force in the Southern African mining and chemicals industries.

Download or read book Chaos in the Mine Township written by David Katulwende and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who really looted the Chimanga Changa Milling Truck? A prosperous Anglo-American Mining Corporation established township, Chamboli, has now, in December 1986, changed to a riotous hub of the Copperbelt region. Lumba has a new friend, Mwila, and they are trapped escaping paramilitary police chasing looters. In the house they hid, Hector is accused of looting the Chimanga Changa Milling truck. To everyone, the reasons for riots were more important than the looting of the mealie-meal vehicle. A few days later, in the church hall, Micky calls for the township to rise against the mining company. Outside, paramilitary police surround the churchyard, and Mwila tells Lumba, “if the police enter the parish, put your hands as if in prayer.” It was a sign to evade arrest, and at that moment, everything changed for Lumba. While the police search for the looters, Mwila draws Lumba into a plot to save Chamboli Township from the company that set it up. As Lumba courts Mwila, he comes to know her as a beautiful girl troubled by the mining company. Gradually, Lumba confronts the ebbing prosperity of the compound, the looting and the inexcusable ugly truth of the mining company. Sulphur dioxide locally called Senta.

Download or read book Colonial Extractions written by Paula Butler and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging Canada’s image as a humane, enlightened global actor, Colonial Extractions examines the troubling racial logic that underpins Canadian mining operations in several African countries. Drawing on colonial, postcolonial, and critical race theory, Paula Butler investigates Canadian mining activities and the discourses which serve to legitimate this work. Through a series of interviews with senior personnel of businesses with mining operations in Africa, Butler identifies a continuation of the same colonialist mindset that saw resource ownership and racial dominance over Indigenous peoples in Canada as part of Canada’s nation-building project. Financially, culturally, and psychologically, Canadians are invested in extracting resource-based wealth in the Global South, and – as Butler’s analysis of Canada’s influence over South Africa’s first post-apartheid mining legislation shows – they look to legitimize that extraction through neoliberal legal frameworks and a powerful national myth of benevolence. Complementing analyses of the industry through political economy or critical development studies, Colonial Extractions is a powerful and unsettling critique of the cultural dimension of Canada’s mining industry overseas.

This conversion took place because at first he was infatuated by a young boy, but later on transformed his love to a mystical devotion to the young cowherd god Krishna. Due to this conversion his mystical poems have a particular place in the bhakti cult of Northern-India. Raskhān's songs rank among the finest of Krishna poetry in Brajbhāṣā, the language the young god Krishna is supposed to have spoken when he lived on earth. It is the language of the pilgrimage site of Brindavan in Northern-India. Raskhān’s songs are on the lips of many devotees up to the present day.
