kymco sento review: Notes on a Foreign Country Suzy Hansen, 2017-08-15 Pulitzer Prize Finalist: “Hansen’s principal injunction to Americans to understand how others view them and their country’s policies is timely and urgent.” —The Washington Post Winner of the Overseas Press Club of America’s Cornelius Ryan Award A New York Times Notable Book Named a Best Book of the Year by New York Magazine and The Progressive In the wake of the September 11 attacks and the US-led invasion of Iraq, Suzy Hansen, who grew up in an insular conservative town in New Jersey, was enjoying early success as a journalist for a high-profile New York newspaper. Increasingly, though, the disconnect between the chaos of world events and the response at home took on pressing urgency for her. Seeking to understand the Muslim world that had been reduced to scaremongering headlines, she moved to Istanbul. She arrived with romantic ideas about a mythical city perched between East and West, and with a naïve sense of the Islamic world beyond. Over the course of her many years of living in Turkey and traveling in Greece, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Iran, she learned a great deal about these countries and their cultures and histories and politics. But the greatest, most unsettling surprise would be what she learned about her own country—and herself, an American abroad in the era of American decline. It would take leaving her home to discover what she came to think of as the two Americas: the country and its people, and the experience of American power around the world. She came to understand that anti-Americanism is not a violent pathology. It is, Hansen writes, “a broken heart . . . a one-hundred-year-old relationship.” Blending memoir, journalism, and history, and deeply attuned to the voices of those she met on her travels, Notes on a Foreign Country is a moving reflection on America’s place in the world. It is a powerful journey of self-discovery and revelation—a profound reckoning with what it means to be American in a moment of grave national and global turmoil. “Her fascinating insider’s view of Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s rise upends Western simplicities.” —The Atlantic “Vividly captures the disorientation we experience when our preconceived notions collide with uncomfortable discoveries . . . Rare and refreshing.” —The Washington Post “A deeply honest and brave portrait of an individual sensibility reckoning with her country’s violent role in the world.” —The New York Times Book Review “A fluid amalgam of memoir, journalism and political critique—and a very readable challenge to American exceptionalism.” —The Financial Times |
kymco sento review: Istanbul Thomas F. Madden, 2016-11-22 One of Time’s 12 Books for the History Buffs on Your Holiday Gift List The first single-volume history of Istanbul in decades: a biography of the city at the center of civilizations past and present. For more than two millennia Istanbul has stood at the crossroads of the world, perched at the very tip of Europe, gazing across the shores of Asia. The history of this city--known as Byzantium, then Constantinople, now Istanbul--is at once glorious, outsized, and astounding. Founded by the Greeks, its location blessed it as a center for trade but also made it a target of every empire in history, from Alexander the Great and his Macedonian Empire to the Romans and later the Ottomans. At its most spectacular Emperor Constantine I re-founded the city as New Rome, the capital of the eastern Roman empire, and dramatically expanded the city, filling it with artistic treasures, and adorning the streets with opulent palaces. Around it all Constantine built new walls, truly impregnable, that preserved power, wealth, and withstood any aggressor--walls that still stand for tourists to visit. From its ancient past to the present, we meet the city through its ordinary citizens--the Jews, Muslims, Italians, Greeks, and Russians who used the famous baths and walked the bazaars--and the rulers who built it up and then destroyed it, including Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the man who christened the city Istanbul in 1930. Thomas F. Madden's entertaining narrative brings to life the city we see today, including the rich splendor of the churches and monasteries that spread throughout the city. Istanbul draws on a lifetime of study and the latest scholarship, transporting readers to a city of unparalleled importance and majesty that holds the key to understanding modern civilization. In the words of Napoleon Bonaparte, If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital. |

kymco sento review: Spreadsheets in Structural Design S. R. Davies, 1995 Spreadsheets in Structural Design provides a unique and highly practical explanation of the use of spreadsheets to facilitate the design of structures in a range of key materials, such as concrete, steel and brick. Using spreadsheets in this way has important implications in terms of cost and efficiency, and represents a very useful tool hitherto largely neglected by the design community. Each chapter contains spreadsheet layouts to illustrate the method, drawn from different areas of design and using a range of materials and Codes of Practice. Examples used relate to reinforced concrete, reinforced masonry and steel but the approach is easily extended to other materials and other fields of design. Practising structural engineers, civil engineers and architects will find this book an invaluable guide for the solution of routine design problems. It is also useful reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of structural design, civil engineering and architecture. |
