Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American WestÑwhere such landmarks as the Golden Gate Bridge rival wild landscapes in popularity and iconic significanceÑhas been viewed as a frontier of technological innovation. Where Minds and Matters Meet calls attention to the convergence of Western history and the history of technology, showing that the regionÕs politics and culture have shaped seemingly placeless, global technological practices and institutions. Drawing on political and social history as well as art history, the bookÕs essays take the cultural measure of the regionÕs great technological milestones, including San DiegoÕs Panama-California Exposition, the building of the Hetch Hetchy Dam in the Sierras, and traffic planning in Los Angeles.

Download or read book Squatter s Republic written by Tamara Venit Shelton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who should have the right to own land, and how much of it? A Squatter's Republic follows the rise and fall of the land question in the Gilded AgeÑand the rise and fall of a particularly nineteenth-century vision of landed independence. More specifically, the author considers the land question through the anti-monopolist reform movements it inspired in late nineteenth-century California. The Golden State was a squatter's republicÑa society of white men who claimed no more land than they could use, and who promised to uphold agrarian republican ideals and resist monopoly, the nemesis of democracy. Their opposition to land monopoly became entwined with public discourse on Mexican land rights, industrial labor relations, immigration from China, and the rise of railroad and other corporate monopolies.
Download or read book The Art of Gathering written by Priya Parker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a small group of students, hailing from different walks of life, yet managing to come together and pledge to make a difference in each other’s lives and in those they encounter along the way. They are able to do so because of their willingness to come out of their comfort zones, put aside preconceived ideas about one another, and acknowledge the equality of all. Such a commitment to humanity cannot occur in the absence of a meaningful and sincere meeting of the minds. Some of our best and lifelong friends are made during college. It's an exciting time of coming into adulthood and learning who we are -- and who we want to be. Meeting of the Minds follows a group of Northern University students from disparate backgrounds as they learn the meaning of friendship and how the people in their lives may become the most important influences in their futures. This unique coming-of-age novel explores individual stories that, together, reveal how friendship is complex and -- when we need it the most -- a collective group effort can save us from ourselves. A powerful novel you won't soon forget, Nathaniel Hill's Meeting of the Minds explores many universal themes of friendship, loyalty, perseverance, and the power of connecting with others to achieve personal redemption.
