Detroit Tiki: A History of Polynesian Palaces & Tropical Cocktails
A fun-filled and nostalgic exploration of Polynesian Pop in the Motor City When the South Sea craze swept over the nation in the mid-twentieth century, the wave of island-themed décor and tropical cocktails did not pass by Detroit. The Tropics and Club Bali offered a warming escape from dreary Midwest winters. At its completion in 1967, the Mauna Loa was the most expensive restaurant built east of the Mississippi. With its lush interior and celebrity patrons, it did not disappoint. The Chin Tiki, with its exquisitely handcrafted features, was no less an exceptional destination. Even today, long after the Polynesian craze faded, a new generation has taken up the tiki torch and brought island flavor and flair back to the city. Join author Renee Tadey on a sweeping journey through the tiki destinations of Detroit.
Destilados com design
De um lado, o processo criativo do design, a arquitetura, a estética. Do outro, os bartenders, os drinks, os coquetéis. O que há de comum entre os dois? Miriam Gurgel e Agilson Gavioli nos respondem: tudo. A experiência e atuação dos autores se complementam nesta obra para dar vida a uma saborosa narrativa sobre o design nos ambientes de degustação de bebidas, que atravessa – e transforma – diferentes períodos, estilos e sociedades. Dividido em duas partes, cada uma com um enfoque, Destilados com design é um convite para explorar a história, a produção e as tradições culturais dos destilados mais renomados do mundo, ao mesmo tempo que imerge na estética e funcionalidade dos espaços onde essas bebidas são apreciadas – fora e dentro de casa, como bem pontua Miriam. De brinde, ficamos com informações exclusivas sobre a criação de alguns bares, coletadas em conversas com os próprios donos desses locais, além de receitas de drinks e coquetéis fornecidas ao longo da leitura. Uma dose dupla de inspiração.

Little Ice Ages
This concise and accessible new text offers original and insightful analysis of the policy paradigm informing international statebuilding interventions. The book covers the theoretical frameworks and practices of international statebuilding, the debates they have triggered, and the way that international statebuilding has developed in the post-Cold War era. Spanning a broad remit of policy practices from post-conflict peacebuilding to sustainable development and EU enlargement, Chandler draws out how these policies have been cohered around the problematization of autonomy or self-government. Rather than promoting democracy on the basis of the universal capacity of people for self-rule, inter...
