Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Acts of supremacy
by Richard Cave, Brendan Gregory, Michael Pickering, J. Bratton
At the height of the British Empire's fortunes, the stage represented the most influential form of popular entertainment. Acts of supremacy looks at the way in which this medium was utilised to mould popular concepts of empire and nationhood and the authors convey the significance of all levels of entertainment in shaping English identity and perception of other ethnic groups. The authors go beyond the traditional interpretation of politicians' blatant inculcation of patriotic fervour through plays and jingoistic songs. Additionally, they reveal the complex cultural negotiations that gave ordinary people a sense of their part in the imperial structure. Focusing upon minstrel shows, melodramas, comic routines and songs, the book shows that the public were encouraged to identify themselves with and to internalise the qualities required for empire builders and natural leaders. It concludes that the average British man, whatever his class or country, could come to think of himself as a member of a superior race fit to rule the world. Only Irish drama of the period significantly challenged this pattern. Acts of supremacy should be of interest to students of drama and cultural history as well as social and political historians.

ITALIAN TAILORS OF BICYCLES
Bicycles and frame builders after Fausto Coppi
by PAOLO AMADORI, PAOLO TULLINI
The Italian frame builders of the 1960s and 1970s were the great “tailors” of bicycles and worked not only for the Italian champions of the time, but also for non-Italian ones, such as Eddy Merckx. Starting from Faliero Masi, who built the frame for Fausto Coppi after he left the Bianchi team, the books tells the entrepreneurial stories of Cino Cinelli, Ernesto Colnago, Ugo de Rosa, Francesco Galmozzi, Aldo Gios, Licino Marastoni and Sante Poliaghi, and describes the bicycles they produced both for the general public and for champions. The text, richly illustrated with photographs, also includes an analysis of the Italian industry of racing bicycle components and of the companies (Ambrosio, Campagnolo, Cinelli, 3ttt, Universal, Columbus) that dominated the international scene of the time.

Biography & True StoriesKurt Tank II. La verdadera historia del constructor del Pulqui II. Tomo II
by Mauricio Bossa
La Segunda Guerra Mundial ha terminado y Kurt Tank se encuentra a merced de los británicos. Solo podrá continuar en la industria aeronáutica si trabaja para ellos. Además, está bajo sospecha y sus movimientos han sido restringidos. El futuro parece ominoso. Pero sus aviones lo han convertido en una celebridad y son muchos los poderosos que necesitan de sus servicios. Algunos muestran sus cartas y lo obligan a tomar decisiones peligrosas en las narices de los Aliados. Si acierta, volverá al vuelo y al diseño de aeronaves de avanzada; de lo contrario, las consecuencias podrían ser irreparables.Este segundo tomo de Kurt Tank, la verdadera historia del constructor del Pulqui II se sumerge de lleno en el torbellino de acontecimientos que rodean al protagonista desde 1945 y que lo llevarán tan lejos como a la Argentina o la India, luego de que Joseph Stalin intentara reclutarlo para servir en la Unión Soviética. Espionaje, tecnología y aventuras se entrelazan en un vívido relato que recurre a fuentes hasta hoy desconocidas y que develan una personalidad tan fascinante como polémica, convertida en referencia de la aviación mundial por derecho propio.

Computer programming / software developmentJuly 2006The Minimum You Need to Know About Java on OpenVMS
by Roland Hughes
Up until this point, most Java programming books attempt to make the reader believe that Java is the way-of-the-future and that all other languages are soon to become obsolete. Not so with this book. The author presents Java with all of its warts while continually comparing it to C++ and sometimes C. He admits not being a fan of Java and assumes you are only interested in learning it because your superiors are forcing a Java project upon your OpenVMS system (this is probably more true than not).
