Glenn Goes Global
In the course of twelve months, Glenn learned an awful lot about people. As a history graduate and high school teacher, he had two pretty good reasons to have a pessimistic view of the human race. As the former, he spent years grappling with the appalling vices of man. He long believed that references to despicable humans as 'animals' were grossly unfair to the latter, that generally kill out of instinct and need. Humans are, he believes, capable of the best, but also the worst possible behaviour. And as the latter, having spent more than eight years in the government education system, he had seen enough apathy, selfishness and disrespect to last him a lifetime. entertained taking up the lif...
Glenn M. Fowler Papers
General description of the collection: The Glenn M. Fowler papers include a completed World War II Veterans Survey questionnaire. Fowler stated that he volunteered from a sense of patriotic duty. He rated his leaders who graduated from West Point as superior to those who received battlefield promotions. Fowler provided brief descriptions of his "typical" daily activities on the front lines and of his prisoner of war experience.
High Life
The first comprehensive architectural and cultural history of condominium and cooperative housing in twentieth-century America. Today, one in five homeowners in American cities and suburbs lives in a multifamily home rather than a single-family house. As the American dream evolves, precipitated by rising real estate prices and a renewed interest in urban living, many predict that condos will become the predominant form of housing in the twenty-first century. In this unprecedented study, Matthew Gordon Lasner explores the history of co-owned multifamily housing in the United States, from New York City’s first co-op, in 1881, to contemporary condominium and townhouse complexes coast to coast. Lasner explains the complicated social, economic, and political factors that have increased demand for this way of living, situating the trend within the larger housing market and broad shifts in residential architecture and family life. He contrasts the prevalence and popularity of condos, townhouses, and other privately governed communities with their ambiguous economic, legal, and social standing, as well as their striking absence from urban and architectural history.
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
Distribution and interoperability in heterogeneous computing environments are the key requirements for state-of-the-art information processing systems. Distributed applications are making a critical contribution in many application sectors, such as office automation, finance, manufacturing, telecommunications, aerospace, and transportation. Users demand support for the construction, integration and management of their application systems as well as for the interoperability of independent application components. DAIS '97 provides a forum for researchers, application designers and users to review, discuss and learn about new approaches and concepts in the fields of distributed applications. DAIS '97 will especially focus on the interoperability between different applications and services, different implementations of the same and of different distributed platforms.
The Comanches
This is the first in-depth historical study of Comanche social and political groups. Using the ethnohistorical method, Thomas W. Kavanagh traces the changes and continuities in Comanche politics from their earliest interactions with Europeans to their settlement on a reservation in present-day Oklahoma.
