Book Description
The longer we live the more we experience and understand Poetry has been one of the greatest expressions for revealing and capturing some of the heartfelt and meaningful moments and feelings of life, past and present. This is a genuine attempt to bring poetry and prose back into focus with a newer and lighter appeal. The imaginative variations presented respect the technicalities of English poetry and prose. Clear and logical arrangements certainly have been utilized throughout to stimulate sentiment, emotion and interest. The contents are diversified and depict tales of lasting romantic love and provide food for thought, Many of the poems touch on a few current viewpoints and expose man's conflicts with his own being and that of nature and progress. The familiar unmeasured rhythm of prose portrays legendary, theoretical, philosophical or hypothetical events. Life is full of unforgettable or unusual incidents. Some go beyond the normal expected pattern, giving our logic a different outlook. These poems are concise and condensed epilogues fused to form and vivify related moments in the reader's mind. Every verse endeavors to establish a decipherable and edifying word picture. Overused analogies or metaphors in poetry have served their purpose in a slower paced and unlearned society. Twentieth Century American English has become a fast moving, direct to the point and multiple meaning language. Interpretations of analogies in today's times if overused, would possibly become distorted and the author's intended meaning could be lost. Even though the poems contained in this volume project a whole range of concepts, one certainly doesn't need an oral interpreter or translator of literature to understand them. Perhaps a few poems included can be set to song, but most consist of lengthy metrical meters which were used to capture detailed truths and thoughts. For some reason not known by me, man constantly overlooks the connection between rhythmic-rhyming to memory and human thought patterns and the most successful method of rote learning. It's apparent when every line in a poem or song are often long remembered at all learning levels and with the exception of catchy phrases or quotes the exact details and wording of other written works are generally forgotten . Writing poetry became a labor of love and passion for me, a secret retreat from being a wife (thirty-nine years) and Mother of four sons and one daughter. My family and friends were very supportive and I hope my contribution will serve as an inspiration to others who have marvelous reflections to share.

Book Description
During the dark years of the military dictatorship, Tango had fallen into oblivion all over the world, most especially in Argentina. The “Tango Argentino” show was the show that led to the worldwide revival of interest in Tango. It debuted in Paris, then conquered Broadway and, later, the whole world. Juan Carlos Copes, Miguel Ángel Zotto, and Milena Plebs, Gloria and Rodolfo Dinzel, Gloria and Eduardo, Virulazo, and Elvira are some of the artists who participated in this legendary show and are described in great detail in this book, now known as the definitive work on Tango Argentino. Every serious tanguero should know the history of the revival of Tango and this book is for them. Tango Argentino: What a book! What a book! It enchants immediately, like the show, taking us to the beginnings of Tango, accompanying us in its history, gradually creating the irresistible desire of Tango in the reader. In the book, we come face to face with the myths of the dancers, musicians, and singers. It tells us some gossip about the fights and jealousies behind the scenes and tells us also about the creation of the costumes, now iconic in the worlds of theater and fashion. We also read that Lady Diana and the Japanese Emperor Hirohito were so enchanted by the Tango that they wanted to learn it. It is finally confirmed: only by knowing the beginning of this new era, we can better understand its current global success. Tango is a universal language!

Book Description
Twenty chapters present the range of current research into the study of textiles and dress in classical antiquity, stressing the need for cross and inter-disciplinarity study in order to gain the fullest picture of surviving material. Issues addressed include: the importance of studying textiles to understand economy and landscape in the past; different types of embellishments of dress from weaving techniques to the (late introduction) of embroidery; the close links between the language of ancient mathematics and weaving; the relationships of iconography to the realities of clothed bodies including a paper on the ground breaking research on the polychromy of ancient statuary; dye recipes and methods of analysis; case studies of garments in Spanish, Viennese and Greek collections which discuss methods of analysis and conservation; analyses of textile tools from across the Mediterranean; discussions of trade and ethnicity to the workshop relations in Roman fulleries. Multiple aspects of the production of textiles and the social meaning of dress are included here to offer the reader an up-to-date account of the state of current research. The volume opens up the range of questions that can now be answered when looking at fragments of textiles and examining written and iconographic images of dressed individuals in a range of media. The volume is part of a pair together with Prehistoric, Ancient Near Eastern and Aegean Textiles and Dress: an interdisciplinary anthology edited by Mary Harlow, C_cile Michel and Marie-Louise Nosch

Book Description
During the early twentieth century, Shanghai was the center of China's new media culture. Described by the modernist writer Mu Shiying as "transplanted from Europe" and “paved with shadows,” for many of its residents Shanghai was a city without a past paradoxically haunted by the absent past’s traces. In Shadow Modernism William Schaefer traces how photographic practices in Shanghai provided a forum within which to debate culture, ethnicity, history, and the very nature of images. The central modernist form in China, photography was neither understood nor practiced as primarily a medium for realist representation; rather, photo layouts, shadow photography, and photomontage rearranged and recomposed time and space, cutting apart and stitching places, people, and periods together in novel and surreal ways. Analyzing unknown and overlooked photographs, photomontages, cartoons, paintings, and experimental fiction and poetry, Schaefer shows how artists and writers used such fragmentation and juxtaposition to make visible the shadows of modernity in Shanghai: the violence, the past, the ethnic and cultural multiplicity excluded and repressed by the prevailing cultural politics of the era and yet hidden in plain sight.
