Beyond Preservation: Using Public History to Revitalize Inner Cities
ISBN: 9781439902288 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Across the United States, historic preservation has become a catalyst for urban regeneration. Entrepreneurs, urban pioneers, and veteran city dwellers have refurbished thousands of dilapidated properties and put them to productive use as shops, restaurants, nightclubs, museums, and private residences. As a result, inner-cities, once disparaged as zones of poverty, crime, and decay have been re-branded as historic districts. Although these preservation initiatives, often supported by government tax incentives and rigid architectural controls, deserve credit for bringing people back to the...

Environmental Inequalities: Class, Race, and Industrial Pollution in Gary, Indiana, 1945-1980
ISBN: 9780807845189 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. By examining environmental change through the lens of conflicting social agendas, Andrew Hurley uncovers the historical roots of environmental inequality in contemporary urban America.

Diners, Bowling Alleys, and Trailer Parks: Chasing the American Dream in Postwar Consumer Culture
ISBN: 9780465031870 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The years immediately following the Second World War witnessed a dramatic transformation of America's working-class suburbs, driven by an unprecedented post-war prosperity and a burgeoning consumer culture. Chrome and neon were the new currency in this newly vital consumer culture, and no post-war consumer products trafficked more heavily in this currency than diners, bowling alleys, and trailer parks. Through these three distinctively American institutions, Andrew Hurley examines the struggle of Americans with modest means to attain the good life after two long decades of depression and war....

Samota je zlověstná a nebezpečná: místo na pobřeží Irského moře, které nese pečeť dávných dob a během staletí si vyžádalo desítky, ba stovky životů – zvířat i lidí. Písčiny na pobřeží jsou zrádné, příliv nenadálý, počasí věčně nevlídné. Právě do těchto končin v severní části hrabství Lancanshire přijíždí na jedny Velikonoce někdy v sedmdesátých letech minulého století vypravěč, jeho mentálně postižený bratr Hanny a skupinka věřících z jedné katolické farnosti na předměstí Londýna. Do kraje, z něhož pochází...

The Return of Jazz: Joachim-Ernst Berendt and West German Cultural Change
ISBN: 9780857451620 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "In The Return of Jazz, Andrew Wright Hurley has admirably demonstrated Berendt's influence upon the emerging jazz scene of the early Federal Republic. Hurley shows how Cold War politics and rejection of the National Socialist past heightened Berendt's sense of mission. For Berendt, jazz was more than an avocation; it was a program for social and cultural reform. It is to Hurley's credit that he raises so many important issues surrounding jazz's development in the second half of the twentieth century." - H-German

Into the Groove: Popular Music and Contemporary German Fiction
ISBN: 9781571139184 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Germany the decade beginning in the mid-1990s brought an unprecedented "confusion of the spheres" of literature and popular music. Popular musicians "crossed over" into the literary field, editors and writers called for contemporary German literature to become more like popular music, writers attempted to borrow structural aspects from music or paid new attention to popular music at the thematic level. Others sought to raise their profiles by means of performance models taken from the popular music field. This book sets out to make sense of this situation. It argues for more inclusive and...

ISBN: 9781845455668 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Jazz has had a peculiar and fascinating history in Germany. The influential but controversial German writer, broadcaster, and record producer, Joachim-Ernst Berendt (1922-2000), author of the world's best-selling jazz book, labored to legitimize jazz in West Germany after its ideological renunciation during the Nazi era. German musicians began, in a highly productive way, to question their all-too-eager adoption of American culture and how they sought to make valid artistic statements reflecting their identity as Europeans. This book explores the significance of some of Berendt's most... Jazz has had a peculiar and fascinating history in Germany.
