Download or read book The Lost Continent written by Bill Bryson and published by VNR AG. This book was released on 1989 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.
Download or read book The Biological Standard Of Living On Three Continents written by John Komlos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effort of anthropometric historians to unearth the broad patterns of human biological well-being has led to the examination of nearly forgotten, centuries-old records from dusty archives in practically all the continents of the globe. French historians in the Annales tradition were among the first to adopt methods from physical anthropology and from the biological sciences, but the real expansion of the field dates from the pathbreaking work of Richard Steckel and Robert Fogel, which launched the discipline of anthropometric history on American soil Research has confirmed that physical stature is related to nutritional status and therefore to real family income, and thus to the general standard of living. Historians and development economists will find this line of research useful, as it informs us about the standard of living of members of society for whom data on wages are seldom available—women, children, aristocrats, farmers, and slaves. In addition, this research has shown that the biological standard of living may diverge from conventional indicators of welfare during the early stages of industrialization. Thus, per capita income is an ambiguous measure of welfare during some phases of growth, and it must be supplemented with data from other indicators, such as physical stature. The essays in this volume broaden our knowledge of the human effects of the momentous economic changes of the last two centuries, extending analysis to regions for which such information has been lacking, including Russia, Canada, Indonesia, Italy, and Spain.

Book excerpt: General Erotica. Five Hundred years in the future, fanatical Muslims have taken over the planet with the exception of North America. However, it’s just a matter of time before they’re conquered too. With that fact facing the desperate people, they leave Earth, traveling through a Wormhole to the Triangulum Galaxy, settling on a planet similar to the Earth. They name their new home M-23. Officers on the space transports are assigned sexual encounters with young female crew members every ten days. Once the M-23 colony is established, the government gives them permission to marry. Female Officers are assigned sexual partners; their sexual encounters exploratory and usually free from inhibitions. One day, while exploring M-23, three young women disappear, only to reappear three days later with their memories completely erased. The cause of this anomaly is traced to a mysterious foreign matter, which the settlers turn into a weapon they refer to as BE1. They’ll take the weapon back to Earth to reclaim the planet. However, on arrival, they discover that the Muslims living there are now 180 years in the future, and have no idea what transpired in the past. They live as 7th Century Muslims under Sharia Law. And thus a war begins that will decide the fate of the Earth.

Download or read book Postcolonial Literature from Three Continents written by Judith Lynne Tabron and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we read literatures from other cultures? The metaphors of fractal geometry can help us think about the complexity of the cultural situation of a text or an author. Postcolonial Literature from Three Continents identifies four primary themes common to postcolonial texts - technology, memory, language, and geography - and examines them in relationship to four texts from Nigeria, the United States, and Australia so that we see both the colonized and colonizing positions of these works. The quartet of texts are Amos Tutuola's The Palm-Wine Drinkard, H. D.'s Helen in Egypt, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, and Patrick White's Voss.
