Download or read book Original Morris Minor written by Ray Newell and published by Herridge & Sons Limited. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original Morris Minor is the essential companion to these delightful cars. Its aim is to reveal, in words and color photographs, how the many versions of the Minor – from early ‘low-headlamp’ 918cc saloon to late 1098cc traveler – altered in detail through the course of production. An amazing number of specification changes, large and small, occurred over the years. The completely authentic specification which the most discerning enthusiasts now demand can be elusive because so many Minors have been altered over the years, often by impecunious owners trying simply to keep aging cars on the road for minimum cost. But help is at hand in Original Morris Minor for all owners, restorers and enthusiasts who want a bible on originality. Drawing from factory production records, parts lists and catalogs, as well as the accumulated knowledge of respected restorers and dedicated enthusiasts, this book provides the most exhaustive production survey of the Morris Minor ever published. Accompanying the authoritative text are over 250 specially commissioned color photographs showing every permutation of Morris Minor specification in remarkable detail.

Download or read book Hong Kong written by Ching Kwan Lee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Hong Kong transform itself from a 'shoppers' and capitalists' paradise' into a 'city of protests' at the frontline of a global anti-China backlash? CK Lee situates the post-1997 China–Hong Kong contestation in the broader context of 'global China.' Beijing deploys a bundle of power mechanisms – economic statecraft, patron-clientelism, and symbolic domination – around the world, including Hong Kong. This Chinese power project triggers a variety of countermovements from Asia to Africa, ranging from acquiescence and adaptation to appropriation and resistance. In Hong Kong, reactions against the totality of Chinese power have taken the form of eventful protests, which, over two decades, have broadened into a momentous decolonization struggle. More than an ideological conflict between a liberal capitalist democratizing city and its Communist authoritarian sovereign, the Hong Kong story, stunning and singular in its many peculiarities, offers lessons about China as a global force. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book The Blue Eagle at Work written by Charles J. Morris and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Blue Eagle at Work, Charles J. Morris, a renowned labor law scholar and preeminent authority on the National Labor Relations Act, uncovers a long-forgotten feature of that act that offers an exciting new approach to the revitalization of the American labor movement and the institution of collective bargaining. He convincingly demonstrates that in private-sector nonunion workplaces, the Act guarantees that employees have a viable right to engage in collective bargaining through a minority union on a members-only basis. As a result of this startling breakthrough, American labor relations may never again be the same. Morris's underlying thesis is based on a meticulous analysis of statutory and decisional law and exhaustive historical research.Morris recounts the little-known history of union organizing and bargaining through members-only minority unions that prevailed widely both before and after passage of the 1935 Wagner Act. He explains how vintage language in the statute continues to protect minority-union bargaining today and how those rights are also guaranteed under the First Amendment and by international law to which the United States is a committed party. In addition, the book supplies detailed guidelines illustrating how this rediscovered workers' right could stimulate the development of new procedures for union organizing and bargaining and how management will likely respond to such efforts.The Blue Eagle at Work, which is clear and accessible to general readers as well as specialists, is an essential tool for labor-union officials and organizers, human-resource professionals in management, attorneys practicing in the field of labor and employment law, teachers and students of labor law and industrial relations, and concerned workers and managers who desire to understand the law that governs their relationship.

Download or read book William Morris Classic Reprint written by Alfred Noyes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Morris I Have to thank many friends of William Morris, and some of his most intimate friends, for the kind help they have given me in attempting to suggest the portrait of so many-sided a man. The essential factor in all the branches of his activity was undoubtedly the poetic spirit in him. In all things he was a poet - in words, in tapestry, in socialism; and, by regarding him primarily as a poet, according to the scope of a volume in this series, it is possible to preserve the right unity of impression. It would have been easy to load the book with an imposing bulk of irrelevant letters and anecdotes. But it is hoped that economy of the reader's attention will be counted in this case for a virtue. Even Mr. Mackail has blurred the effect of his invaluable biography of Morris by irrelevancies. One really fails to understand the lapse of so careful and scholarly a writer into an elaborate comparison between William Morris and Dr. Samuel Johnson - a comparison, a suggested close likeness, not a contrast! It not only blurs the picture, but with many of Morris's old friends is simply a matter for unmixed mirth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Lewis Morris MY soul is as a bird Singing in fair weather, Deep in shady woodlands through the evening's dewy calm Every glossy feather On her full throat stirred, As she pours out, rapt, unconscious, all the sweetness Of her psalm Mounting high, and higher, higher, Soaring now, now falling, dying; Now through silvery pauses sigh ing Throbbing now with joyous strife, And rushing tides Of lore and life, Till some ray of heavenly fire Shot obliquely through the shade, Pierces her; and lo the strain Of the music she has made Fills her with a sudden pain. Then she forgets to sing Her former songs of gladness Sitting mute in silence sweeter than the Old forgotten lays Till anon some note of sadness, Long-drawn, languishing, Faint at first, swells onward slowly to a subtler depth of praise, As the low, wild, minor, broken By the ghosts of gayer fancies, Like a rippling stream advances, Till the full tide grown too deep, Whispers first, then falls asleep. Then, as souls with no word spoken Grow together, she, mute and still, Thrills through with a secret voice, the farthest heaven can fill, And constrains her to rejoice.

Download or read book Hell of a Hat written by Kenneth Partridge and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late ’90s, third-wave ska broke across the American alternative music scene like a tsunami. In sweaty clubs across the nation, kids danced themselves dehydrated to the peppy rhythms and punchy horns of bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. As ska caught fire, a swing revival brought even more sharp-dressed, brass-packing bands to national attention. Hell of a Hat dives deep into this unique musical moment. Prior to invading the Billboard charts and MTV, ska thrived from Orange County, California, to NYC, where Moon Ska Records had eager rude girls and boys snapping up every release. On the swing tip, retro pioneers like Royal Crown Revue had fans doing the jump, jive, and wail long before The Brian Setzer Orchestra resurrected the Louis Prima joint. Drawing on interviews with heavyweights like the Bosstones, Sublime, Less Than Jake, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies—as well as underground heroes like Mustard Plug, The Slackers, Hepcat, and The New Morty Show—Kenneth Partridge argues that the relative economic prosperity and general optimism of the late ’90s created the perfect environment for fast, danceable music that—with some notable exceptions—tended to avoid political commentary. An homage to a time when plaids and skankin’ were king and doing the jitterbug in your best suit was so money, Hell of a Hat is an inside look at ’90s ska, swing, and the loud noises of an era when America was dreaming and didn’t even know it.
