Southern Discomfort: Women's Activism in Tampa, Florida, 1880s-1920s (Women in American History)
Nancy A Hewitt Manufacturer: University of Illinois Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0252071913 |
Book Description
Vitally linked to the Caribbean and southern Europe as well as to the Confederacy, the Cigar City of Tampa, Florida, never fit comfortably into the biracial mold of the New South. In Southern Discomfort, the esteemed historian Nancy A. Hewitt explores the interactions among distinct groups of women--native-born white, African American, and Cuban and Italian immigrant women--that shaped women's activism in this vibrant, multiethnic city.Around the turn of the twentieth century, several historical currents converged in Tampa. The city was subject to the state's newly imposed forms of legal segregation from 1885 on, and it served as a center for exiles organizing on behalf of the Cuban War of Independence and as the disembarkation point for U.S. troops heading to Cuba in 1898. The city was the entrept for thousands of Cuban and Italian immigrants seeking work in the booming cigar trade, and it attracted dozens of itinerant radicals eager to address locally based revolutionary clubs, mutual aid societies, and labor unions.
Tampa was also home to an astonishing array of voluntary and reform organizations among Black and white native-born women. Hewitt shows how women's interests were transformed by Jim Crow, progressive reform, and homegrown and imported radicalism, and how the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain dramatically reshaped Tampa women's activism, inspiring large numbers of Latin women to enter the public sphere.
Southern Discomfort emphasizes the process by which women forged and reformulated their activist identities from Reconstruction through the U.S. declaration of war against Spain in April 1898, the industrywide cigar strike of 1901, and the emergence of progressive reform and labor militancy. This masterful volume also recasts our understanding of southern history by demonstrating how Tampa's triracial networks alternately challenged and reinscribed the South's biracial social and political order.

Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business
Danny Meyer Manufacturer: HarperCollins ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0060742755 Release Date: 2006-10-03 |
Amazon.com
Book DescriptionIn this landmark book, Danny shares the lessons he's learned while developing the winning recipe for doing the business he calls "enlightened hospitality." This innovative philosophy emphasizes putting the power of hospitality to work in a new and counterintuitive way: The first and most important application of hospitality is to the people who work for you, and then, in descending order of priority, to the guests, the community, the suppliers, and the investors. This way of prioritizing stands the more traditional business models on their heads, but Danny considers it the foundation of every success that he and his restaurants have achieved.
Full of behind-the-scenes history on the creation of Danny's most famous restaurants and the anecdotes, advice, and lessons he has accumulated on his long and ecstatic journey to the top of the American restaurant scene, Setting the Table is a treasure trove of innovative insights that are applicable to any business or organization.
Is the customer always right? According to Danny Meyer, one of America's leading restauranteurs, the answer is no--but "they must always feel heard." Named one of the most influential New Yorkers of 2006 by New York magazine, Meyer, the founder and co-owner of 11 of Manhattan's most influential restaurants, including Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Tabla, The Modern, Blue Smoke, and Shake Shack, has penned Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality, a business book that reads like food lit and equal part personal memoir. Amazon.com senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons took some time from his daily long-distance day-dreaming of Shake Shack and caught up with the ever-gracious Danny Meyer over e-mail to ask about his new book, the Food Network, his favorite cookbooks, insider tips on dining out, and much more.

Funny in Every Way.......2001-10-23
If you want to have a really good time, lift the cares of the world off your shoulders for awhile, and enjoy a tremendous laugh or two along the way, turn to the Lockhorns. It is a book I have read more than once, and I laugh outloud every time.
I highly recommend this book and any book by Bill Hoest about the Lockhorns.

A real hoot!!.......2001-06-30
Leroy drips venom and Loretta is perfect as his long suffering wife. Leroy always criticizes his wife's cooking and once he told her he wanted to use it for exhibit A. In this mood, my favorite strip in the book is where they are eating out and Leroy says to the waitress, right in front of Loretta, "What do you mean home cooking? Why this is delicious!!"
Have a hard day at work? This is the perfect antidote to make you forget your day. Buy it right away.

Robot World: Education, Popular Culture, and Science (Counterpoints (New York, N.Y.), Vol. 49.)
Matthew Weinstein Manufacturer: Peter Lang Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0820437247 |
Book Description
How do goals of education and entertainment conflict in popularizations of science? In schools? Robot World explores these questions through a case study of a hands-on science museum/theme park in a tourist center in the upper Midwestern United States. Mixing ethnography, autobiography, and science fiction, this book examines science's public cultures. In unraveling this dual interest of education and entertainment, it looks at how the association of wonder and science works ideologically. It explores how the technologies in the museum become props in specific racial and gender identity formations, and it examines the experiences of the body in the hands-on museum as the ultimate science lesson.

Dreamweaver® 3 Bible
Joseph Lowery Manufacturer: I D G Books Worldwide ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0764534580 |
Amazon.com
According to Macromedia, there are few more qualified or capable to teach the ins and outs of Dreamweaver than author James Lowery. This high praise is well earned with the Dreamweaver 3 Bible, a comprehensive manual that covers everything from basic site creation to working with Fireworks, as well as using CSS, DHTML, XML, and multimedia.Beginners and intermediate users will appreciate the solid foundation provided in the opening 12 chapters. Readers are given a quick tour of the work environment, shown how a sample site is built up from scratch, and introduced to all the features of Dreamweaver. Here and throughout Dreamweaver 3 Bible, the text is augmented by frequent screenshots (from the Windows platform, although the text includes Macintosh instructions and commands) and applicable generated HTML code. More importantly, the book provides ample reasons for why things work the way they do and examples of how a feature might be put to use.
Other sections of the book cover frames, tables, forms, objects, behaviors, integrating Shockwave and Flash, working with layers, creating templates, using the Library, and many more topics. The appendices cover the companion text editors (Homesite 4.5 for Windows users, BBedit 5 for Mac users) and CourseBuilder for creating instructional Web pages. The companion CD-ROM includes 30-day trials of Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, and CourseBuilder, plus lots of extensions and sample files mentioned in the text.
Changes since the last edition include all the new features of Dreamweaver 3: the History palette, Design Notes, and the enhanced interrelationship with Fireworks, for example. Many processes are now automated in the latest version, like creating a command out of a group of steps from the History palette. Within Dreamweaver 3 Bible, new features like these are set in a different font and marked by an icon in the margin, making it easy for those already familiar with Dreamweaver to quickly access what's new.
One great benefit of a well-written book such as this is the confidence one gains with the application--confidence to look beyond the text and explore on one's own. This is especially fulfilling given Dreamweaver's expandability. By helping readers customize Dreamweaver, the text saves hours and hours of work time. --Angelynn Grant

As good as it gets........2001-05-12
The only criticisms of this book are that a beginner will get the impression that they have to read a huge amount of stuff before even making a start, so they'll have to be patient. And a more advanced user will be familiar with a fair chunk of the content. Nevertheless, its clear and simple writing style, and modest cost, make up for these minor shortcomings.
A good companion to this book would be Sybex's `Complete HTML' to add an overview of what works consistently with IE, Netscape, and their variations.
It is a really great book for both beginners and pros!.......2001-02-17

Dreamweaver 3 Bible: Gold Edition (Bible (Wiley))
Joseph Lowery Manufacturer: Hungry Minds ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0764534793 |
Amazon.com
If your paperback copy of Dreamweaver 3 Bible is dog-eared or you're delving into the more advanced realms of Web site production, this hardcover Gold version might be just the thing for you. It contains all of the material that the "non-Gold" edition has, and it sets a good foundation for beginners and intermediates by clearly explaining the work environment, tools, and features: frames, tables, forms, objects, behaviors, how to integrate Shockwave and Flash, how to work with layers, how to create templates, how to use the Library, and more.The new material in this version shows how to integrate and access databases from within your Dreamweaver documents by using different methods--UltraDev, ColdFusion, Lasso Studio, and Tango. A new chapter introduces the latest frontier in Web design--the wireless platform--and shows how to use the Nokia WML Studio extension for Dreamweaver. Another chapter introduces Andromedia Aria, and shows how to tailor tracking and site analysis.
The new 32-page color section not only provides more detailed screen shots for different features that are covered in the text, but also shows off several sites that were created by using Dreamweaver. Whereas the paperback edition came with one CD-ROM that was full of goodies, this Gold version has two--offering trial versions of many of the applications that are referenced in the book; all of the code examples that are used; and a bounty of extensions, including behaviors, objects, commands, and browser profiles.
Weighing in at around five pounds, this hefty tome might strain your wrist, but it'll bring you up to speed on the latest in Web production and Dreamweaver. --Angelynn Grant

Increible... simplemente increible.......2001-06-12
Finally an excellent book for Dreamweaver 3.......2000-10-23
Most of the books available for Dreamweaver have focused on how to use the basic functions of Dreamweaver, ignoring things like database connectivity with ColdFusion.
This book not only covers the basics of HTML, but it goes into some more advanced topics like CF. I would reccomend this book to anyone who is serious about web design with Dreamweaver.
An amazing book for an amazing program........2000-09-13
