Book excerpt: Verdura’s beguiling jewelry, from ruby hearts wrapped with braided gold rope to scallop shells studded with precious stones. The exquisite creations of Fulco di Verdura (1898–1978) are noted for their glorious exuberance and refined glamour. Verdura left his ancestral home in Palermo in the mid-1920s and moved to Paris where he hoped to be a painter; his true vocation was revealed once he began designing striking jewelry for the discriminating customers of Coco Chanel. Patricia Corbett documents Verdura’s fascinating career, which took him from Paris to Los Angeles and New York. He was patronized by the rich and famous, who found that his sophisticated and flamboyant neo-Baroque style perfectly complemented their tastes. Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo, among others, were devoted admirers, along with many of society’s prominent figures, including the Duchess of Windsor and legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland. Corbett was given access to all of Verdura’s archives and interviewed many of his surviving patrons. Wonderful color photography of the jewelry, as well as the archival images of Verdura and the people who wore his pieces, bring the irresistible beauty and genius of Verdura’s designs to life.

Download or read book Lost Plantations of the South written by Marc R. Matrana and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great majority of the South's plantation homes have been destroyed over time, and many have long been forgotten. In Lost Plantations of the South, Marc R. Matrana weaves together photographs, diaries and letters, architectural renderings, and other rare documents to tell the story of sixty of these vanquished estates and the people who once called them home. From plantations that were destroyed by natural disaster such as Alabama's Forks of Cypress, to those that were intentionally demolished such as Seven Oaks in Louisiana and Mount Brilliant in Kentucky, Matrana resurrects these lost mansions. Including plantations throughout the South as well as border states, Matrana carefully tracks the histories of each from the earliest days of construction to the often contentious struggles to preserve these irreplaceable historic treasures. Lost Plantations of the South explores the root causes of demise and provides understanding and insight on how lessons learned in these sad losses can help prevent future preservation crises. Capturing the voices of masters and mistresses alongside those of slaves, and featuring more than one hundred elegant archival illustrations, this book explores the powerful and complex histories of these cardinal homes across the South.

This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debido a que los resultados del análisis de uniformidad de temperatura del deshidratador convencional no fueron los óptimos, se procedió a diseñar y construir un nueva deshidratador con materiales refractarios con la finalidad de uniformizar la temperatura y mejorar los tiempos de proceso. Los materiales refractarios que se utilizaron fueron el vidrio blanco de 6 mm de espesor y una cama de poliuretano (10cm), debido a su bajo coeficiente de conductividad térmica. Se realizó un análisis estadístico en una prueba ANOVA a un nivel de significancia de 0.5%, donde se hizo una comparación de las medias muéstrales y una comparación de las varianzas de cada uno de los tratamientos, el cual se encontró que la construcción del nuevo deshidratador con materiales refractarios tuvo un comportamiento de uniformidad en las temperaturas a un 95% de confianza. Cabe destacar que la temperatura promedio del deshidratador convencional fue de 38.61°C, mientras que con el nuevo deshidratador construido con materiales refractarios se logró incrementar a 57.43°C, destacando que esta temperatura se logró uniformizar en las tres áreas analizadas del deshidratador. Esto significó un incremento de temperatura con respecto al deshidratador solar convencional de un 48.74%

Book excerpt: Though nearly a dozen years had passed they hadn’t gotten back to Verdura. They supposed they never would. But life had moved on for Joshua, Marie, Amanda and Steven. For one thing, they were all married with at least one kid; and those kids were almost as old as they had been the first time they were in Verdura. They had lives, though––truth to tell––lives not as exciting as their times in Verdura had been. Sometimes they struggled to find meaning in the mundane after the momentous events in which they had participated. Things had moved on in Verdura, as well. Centuries, in fact. It had become dark. Almost all the time. And very few of the friends they had known as children remained––even though their lives should have been as long as that of their sun. The remaining people were at odds with one another. Tyranny had overcome most of them, madness––so it was said––the rest. Enemies had multiplied and triumphed. And once again, it was the children who were sent to help. Or maybe they were sent mostly to watch. Because, as always, Ispri had everything well in hand. Or did he? The world was breaking up, dissolving before their eyes. There seemed no way to overcome the enemies. There were new enemies they’d never seen, and many of the people were enemies. So how could they explain this buoyancy they felt? This optimism? This expectation? And how did this new person, this little empress of China, so she seemed to think of herself, and her pet dragon, fit into all this? Besides, of course, they’d eventually have to go back to earth. How was that going to work out? Would they get back before Verdura collapsed completely and them with it? This really was their last adventure.
