The Streamline Era Greyhound Terminals - - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Streamline Era Greyhound Terminals - - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

In post-Depression America, Greyhound put adventure within the reach of all. Convinced that their terminals should project the glamour and excitement of travel, the company turned to an architect who could translate the sleek, streamlined Greyhound design into buildings that would both serve and delight the public. This volume explores the life of William Strudwick Arrasmith, a defining artist of the short-lived era of streamline design, and especially his work for Greyhound--at least fifty terminals and other facilities. The final third of the book is a detailed examination of 28 of these terminals. A full chronology of Arrasmith''s firms and commissions is also included.

Greyhound - Joanna Pocock - Bog - Fitzcarraldo Editions - Plusbog.dk

Greyhound - Joanna Pocock - Bog - Fitzcarraldo Editions - Plusbog.dk

In 2006, in the wake of several miscarriages, Joanna Pocock travelled by Greyhound bus across the US from Detroit to Los Angeles. Seventeen years later, now in her 50s, she undertakes the same journey, revisiting the same cities, edgelands, highways and motels in the footsteps of the few women writers – Simone de Beauvoir, Ethel Mannin and Irma Kurtz – who chronicled their own road trips across the US. In Greyhound , Pocock explores the overlap of place and memory, the individual with the communal, and the privatization of public space as she navigates two very different landscapes – an earlier, less atomized America, and a current one mired in inequality, as it teeters on the brink of environmental catastrophe. Her focus is on the built-upon environment: the rivers of tarmac, the illuminated gas stations, the sprawling suburbs and the sites of extraction created specifically to fuel contemporary life. Combining memoir, reportage, environmental writing and literary criticism, Greyhound is a moving and immersive book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with all its beauty, horror and complexity.

Dorian Greyhound - Sheryl Longin - Bog - ibooks Inc - Plusbog.dk

Straight from the canine''s mouth comes this truly Wilde narrative of the life and times of Dorian Greyhound. From his lowly origins and brutish upbringing to his well-deserved position as cherished family member, this self-made dog marks a lot of territory, though he would blush (if he could) to admit it. With a dry wit and as much candour as his old-school manners allow, he recounts his physically and emotionally harrowing journey from an Arizona race track to his Hollywood Hills mansion. His tale has something to offer us all.

Bag masker - Steen Harvig - Bog - Trykværket - Plusbog.dk

Bag masker - Steen Harvig - Bog - Trykværket - Plusbog.dk

Axel Q. Ortman er i slutningen af 40'erne, skilt for nylig og måske en person i krise. I hvert fald er han taget til den græske ø Skopolos for muligvis at begynde forfra eller for at undersøge en ung kvindes forsvinden - eller også er han blot en turist blandt flere på rejse til et sted, han ikke har været før. Bag ham skjuler en skygge sig, en person, der følger ham overalt, og som har aflæst alle hans rutiner, hans bevægelser rundt på øen, hans vaner, hans gøren og laden frem til og med den dag, hvor Ortman beslutter sig for en længere vandretur op i det øde bjergområde bag byen... Den sygdomsramte Carl Hansen og hans yngre politikollega Morten Krag søger svaret på Ortmans skæbne og flere andres, men de støder på masker overalt, derfor må de søge bag om... Bag masker. Bag masker er Steen Harvigs 10. solokrimi.
