Book Yesterday s Tomorrow

Download or read book Yesterday s Tomorrow written by Bini Adamczak and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the communist revolution failed, presented in a series of catastrophes. The communist project in the twentieth century grew out of utopian desires to oppose oppression and abolish class structures, to give individual lives collective meaning. The attempts to realize these ideals became a series of colossal failures. In Yesterday's Tomorrow, Bini Adamczak examines these catastrophes, proceeding in reverse chronological order from 1939 to 1917: the Hitler-Stalin Pact, the Great Terror of 1937, the failure of the European Left to prevent National Socialism, Stalin's rise to power, and the bloody rebellion at Kronstadt. In the process, she seeks a future that never happened.

Book Tell Me about Yesterday Tomorrow

Download or read book Tell Me about Yesterday Tomorrow written by Nicolaus Schafhausen and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical events and our knowledge of them inevitably mold our understanding of today's world. This interdisciplinary volume focuses on institutional memory--on the connection between past and future. Tell Me About Yesterday Tomorrow is a bold and unusual publication whose approaches and themes extend from biographical experiences via intergenerational exchange, to the discussion of current social phenomena. To what extent does knowledge of the past, or lack thereof, influence our view of the present and our conception of the future? Authors from the realms of history, art, philosophy, journalism, poetry, cartoons, and film investigate complex everyday reality in history and the present, directing their attention towards the shifts in political hegemonies which lead to ostracism, denigration, and destruction. The editors of this volume have explicitly chosen to emphasize an international perspective which shows that social polarization and radicalization are not phenomena limited by national boundaries, but are universal social manifestations in a globally interlinked world. Tell Me About Yesterday Tomorrow includes authors such as Roger Cohen, Liam Gillick, Ydessa Hendeles, Sebastian Jung, Leon Kahane, Annette Kelm, Cathrin Lorch, Fred Moten, Khalil Muhammad, Andrea Pet , Dirk Rupnow, Philippe Sands, Geraldine Schwarz, and Niko Wahl. This volume is presented in cooperation with the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism, a place of education and remembrance documenting and addressing the crimes of the Nazi dictatorship and their origins, manifestations, and consequences up to the present day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipient of the Hugo and Nebula Awards for his writing, Barry Longyear flexes his creative and comic chops in Yesterday’s Tomorrow. In these true stories, Longyear wanders from scenic Maine backdrops to the smoky hum of backwoods Twelve Step meetings, all while dissecting why some recoveries don’t come naturally—and why it’s okay to let down our guard and laugh. Recovery is one hell of a roller coaster. It twists and plummets, upending our stomachs, while some maniac cackles hysterically in the front car. What’s so damn funny? Besides our stomach’s contents, what are we missing? Truth is, while we all sit anxiously awaiting that next drop, Barry Longyear is enjoying the wild ride. An award-winning author and proprietor of the Life Sucks Better Clean blog, Barry has been on recovery’s ride for a while now. He understands the importance of stupid questions and sarcastic responses. He’s honest to the point of embarrassment. And he has real problems: with friends, with self-ordained recovery police, and with the god of his childhood. But he also has a strong recovery full of laughter. Despite all its ups and downs, your recovery, too, can be a good one.

Book Yesterday  Today  Tomorrow

Download or read book Yesterday Today Tomorrow written by Sophia Loren and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is Sophia Loren's definitive autobiography, revealing her personal journey from the hardship of her childhood in Naples to her life as a screen legend, sharing stories of work, love, and family. Each chapter begins with a letter, a document, a photograph, or object that prompts her reminiscences. In her own words, these memoirs originated as, "Unpublished memories, curious anecdotes, tiny secrets told, all of which spring from a box found by chance, a precious treasure trove filled with emotions, experiences, adventures." In her incredible life story, Loren vividly recounts her difficult childhood in Naples during World War II, remembers her parents and their tempestuous relationship, and reveals the pain of growing up in her grandparents' house with her single, unmarried mother and younger sister. She tells how she got her start by winning a beauty pageant ("La regina del mare") and how her ambition drove her success in cinema before revealing the influence of the producer Carlo Ponti, who cast her in her early roles and later became her husband. Loren takes us behind the scenes of the movies, her early stardom and move to Hollywood revealing intimate and never before shared stories of her famed costars: Brando, Newman, Burton, Peck, Heston, and many more. With emotional honesty, Loren goes on to discuss her long desire to become a mother and the disappointments she suffered on that path, the ultimate joy she felt at having her two sons, and scenes from her life as a mother and grandmother.

Book Home Futures

Download or read book Home Futures written by Eszter Steierhoffer and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century offered up countless visions of domestic life, from the aspirational to the radical. Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanised home or the notion that technology might free us from home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Are the smart homes of today the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has 'home' proved resistant to radical change? Home Futures: Living in Yesterday's Tomorrow -accompanying a major Design Museum exhibition of the same title-explores a number of different attitudes toward domestic life, tracing the social and technological developments that have driven change in the home. It proposes that we are already living in yesterday's tomorrow, just not in the way anyone predicted. This book begins with a lavishly illustrated catalogue portraying the 'home futures' of the twentieth century and beyond, from the work of Ettore Sottsass and Joe Colombo to Google's recent forays into the smart home. The catalogue is followed by a reader consisting of newly commissioned essays by writers such as Dan Hill and Justin McGuirk, which explore the changes in the domestic realm in relation to space, technology, society, economy and psychology.

Book Leonard Cohen  Yesterday s Tomorrow

Download or read book Leonard Cohen Yesterday s Tomorrow written by Marc Hendrickx and published by Bookline & Thinker Ltd. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revered then virtually forgotten, Leonard Cohen has proved a lasting phenomenon. One of the most influential songwriters of our time, reconciling literature and poetry with popular music. In the 1990s Leonard Cohen’s music career appeared to have died. Cohen was in his seventies by then and no one expected new songs, never mind a worldwide tour that broke records for attendance. While many discovered his work during this resurgence, long-standing fans had never deserted him. His combination of poetry and soulful song had reached into their hearts when they were young and his connection with them never weakened. As a teenager author, Marc Hendrickx, wrote to Cohen and later the singer turned up on Marc’s doorstep. This is Marc’s journey through the work of Cohen. There are no conclusions, simply perspective and reflections.

Book Yesterday   Tomorrow

Download or read book Yesterday Tomorrow written by Marc Erwin Babej and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An der Entstehung von "Yesterday - Tomorrow" war ein Team von mehr als 50 Mitarbeitern beteiligt, darunter auch 13 renommierte internationale Ägyptologen (Haward University, Université Paris IV-Sorbonne, Brown University, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, usw.). Die jüngste Arbeit des deutsch-amerikanischen Fotokünstlers Marc Erwin Babej nimmt die komplexe Bildsprache des antiken Ägypten auf und aktualisiert sie in fotorealistischen Medien. Dabei adaptiert er die wohl auffälligste Besonderheit ägyptischer Kunst: die gleichzeitige Darstellung des menschlichen Körpers aus verschiedenen Perspektiven wie Frontal- und Seitenansicht. Unter anderem durch diese "aspektivische" Darstellung übersetzt er die auf Zeitlosigkeit angelegte ägyptische Kunst in die Gegenwart. Der Kunststil wird von Babej und dem Team als aspektivischer Realismus bezeichnet. Eine eigene App macht dem Leser des Katalogs zusätzliche Inhalte sichtbar und ermöglicht eine dreidimensionale Augmented Reality Darstellung von diesem einzigartigen Projekt.

Book Memories Today  Yesterday  Tomorrow    Forevermore

Download or read book Memories Today Yesterday Tomorrow Forevermore written by Linda L. Dawson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For writer Linda L. Dawson, poetry is an expression of emotions oftentimes bundled and knotted up who finds it difficult to share her innermost feelings. It is a way of pouring out the definition of the real you in an uninhibited and written format. She realizes that innumerable people feel exactly as she does. Therefore, it is her prayer that readers will be inspired while reading Memories Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Forevermore. In her poems, she explores the reality that life existed before she was saved. Like your experience, her walk to truth was not always easy. Like you, she prays to remember that journey with humility and hope. We understand today that without our yesterday, which shaped and molded us, our tomorrow would be nonexistent and without promise. In Memories Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow, and Forevermore, she seeks to encourage those who do not yet know God to know him, because he stills saves.

Book Yesterday  Today  and Tomorrow

Download or read book Yesterday Today and Tomorrow written by Roslyn Arlin Mickelson and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow provides a compelling analysis of the forces and choices that have shaped the trend toward the resegregation of public schools. By assembling a wide range of contributors—historians, sociologists, economists, and education scholars—the editors provide a comprehensive view of a community’s experience with desegregation and economic development. Here we see resegregation through the lens of Charlotte, North Carolina, once a national model of successful desegregation, and home of the landmark Swann desegregation case, which gave rise to school busing. This book recounts the last forty years of Charlotte’s desegregation and resegregation, putting education reform in political and economic context. Within a decade of the Swanncase, the district had developed one of the nation’s most successful desegregation plans, measured by racial balance and improved academic outcomes for both black and white students. However, beginning in the 1990s, this plan was gradually dismantled. Today, the level of resegregation in Charlotte has almost returned to what it was prior to 1971. At the core of Charlotte’s story is the relationship between social structure and human agency, with an emphasis on how yesterday’s decisions and actions define today’s choices.
