San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly in Vintage Postcards by Thomas Maxwell-Long Pdf

Along the California coastline lies the community of San Luis Obispo; a town just as rich in history as it is in beauty. Situated almost directly between Los Angeles and San Francisco, San Luis Obispo was first inhabited by the Chumash and Salinan Indians in 1400 B.C. It took almost 3,000 years before its majestic landscape was encountered by European explorers.

Santa Barbara: American Riviera, CA by Marlin L. Heckman Pdf

From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating history of Santa Barbara, California, showcases more than 200 of the best vintage postcards available.

Cigar Box Lithographs Volume IV by Charles J. Humber Pdf

Cigar Box Lithographs: Volume IV, written and compiled by Charles J. A. Humber, the fourth in a series showcases the author’s longtime passion for tobacco-related collectibles. Like the previous volumes, this beautifully illustrated book is a historical window into the world of cigar box ephemera. In the newest edition, Humber starts off in his signature style, with a deep dive into a rare collectible. In this case, it’s a cigar box, the inside cover emblazoned with the beloved Bard. Humber delves into the cigar box’s provenance (New York), then quickly shifts to Shakespeare’s enduring cachet, speaking about his plays, sonnets, and Ontario’s famous Stratford Festival. Also similar to its precursors, in Volume IV readers are once again treated to Humber’s chatty, erudite writing style; reading it no doubt makes Cigar Box Lithographs fans feel like they’re sitting down with a treasured friend enjoying a long and fascinating conversation.

California by Anonim Pdf

"Despite the rhetoric, the people of sub-Saharan Africa are becoming poorer. From Tony Blair's Africa Commission, the G7 finance ministers' debt relief, the Live 8 concerts, the Make Poverty History campaign and the G8 Gleneagles promises, to the United Nations 2005 summit and the Hong Kong WTO meeting, Africa's gains have been mainly limited to public relations. The central problems remain: exploitative debt and financial relationships with the North, phantom aid, unfair trade, distorted investment, capital flight and the continent's brain/skills drain. Moreover, capitalism in most African countries has witnessed the emergence of excessively powerful ruling elites. While noting their role as collaborators, this book contextualizes Africa's wealth outflow within a stagnant yet financially volatile world economy."--BOOK JACKET.
