Land of Smoke and Mirrors: A Cultural History of Los Angeles
ISBN: 9780813554570 / Angielski / Twarda / 301 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Unlike the more forthrightly mythic origins of other urban centers--think Rome via Romulus and Remus or Mexico City via the god Huitzilopochtli--Los Angeles emerged from a smoke-and-mirrors process that is simultaneously literal and figurative, real and imagined, material and metaphorical, physical and textual. Through penetrating analysis and personal engagement, Vincent Brook uncovers the many portraits of this ever-enticing, ever-ambivalent, and increasingly multicultural megalopolis. Divided into sections that probe Los Angeles's checkered history and reflect on Hollywood's own...

Stephanie Hinnershitz tells the story of the Asian American campus organizations that flourished on the West Coast from the 1900s through the 1960s. Using their faith to...

ISBN: 9780367858636 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of the American West is that of a journey.

ISBN: 9780415806015 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
