Book Synopsis Grenada Uncovered by : Raymond D. Viechweg
Download or read book Grenada Uncovered written by Raymond D. Viechweg. This book was released on 2010-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grenada Uncovered distinguishes Grenada-a 120-mile tropical, Caribbean island- beyond the obvious notion that it is a tourist's paradise. It is the pictorial representation of a Grenada with rich history, pristine natural habitat, unmistakable developmental potential, and a people boldly desirous of progress. It reveals tidbits as simple as the appropriateness of names used in present-day Grenada and as complex as the meaning of the word, Grenada, in ancient Greece, Rome, and Persia. It covers topics germane to Grenada's international image: the rich harmony in its ethnic diversity; the wealth of islets that surround Grenada; livestock, fishing, and agricultural potential; historical treasures; and the resourcefulness of its people, whether in the making of locally derived toys or in the use of its waterways. A 246-page publication, Grenada Uncovered displays hundreds of full-color pictures that expose Grenada's beckoning aura; a tranquil landscape, reflective of confidence and composure; and a landscape that not only invites, but often seems to reward the pursuit of happiness. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Grenada Uncovered is an encyclopedia of Grenadian promise, fully substantiated in its representation of its unspoiled territories, breathtaking views, and coastal charm.

Book Synopsis Mystic Chords of Memory by : Michael Kammen
Download or read book Mystic Chords of Memory written by Michael Kammen. This book was released on 1993-02-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mystic Chords of Memory "Illustrated with hundreds of well-chosen anecdotes and minute observations . . . Kammen is a demon researcher who seems to have mined his nuggets from the entire corpus of American cultural history. . . . Insightful and sardonic."—Washington Post Book World In this groundbreaking, panoramic work of American cultural history, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Machine That Would Go of Itself examines a central paradox of our national identity. How did "the land of the future" acquire a past? And to what extent has our collective memory of that past—as embodied in our traditions—been distorted, or even manufactured? Ranging from John Adams to Ronald Reagan, from the origins of Independence Day celebrations to the controversies surrounding the Vietnam War Memorial, from the Daughters of the American Revolution to immigrant associations, and filled with incisive analyses of such phenonema as Americana and its collectors, "historic" villages and Disneyland, Mystic Chords of Memory is a brilliant, immensely readable, and enormously important book. "Fascinating . . . a subtle and teeming narrative . . . masterly."—Time "This is a big, ambitious book, and Kammen pulls it off admirably. . . . [He] brings a prodigious mind and much scholarly rigor to his task. . . . An important book—and a revealing look at how Americans look at themselves."—Milwaukee Journal
