Bryson, Bill
Notes from a small island
Small quarto in color illus jacket; 324 pages : map ; 24 cm "After nearly two decades in Britain, Bill Bryson, the acclaimed author of such best-sellers as The Mother Tongue and Made in America, decided it was time to move back to the United States for a while. This was partly to let his wife and kids experience life in Bryson's homeland - and partly because he had read that 3.7 million Americans believed that they had been abducted by aliens at one time or another. It was thus clear to him that his people needed him. But before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire, Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. His aim was to take stock of modern-day Britain, and to analyze what he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite, zebra crossings, and place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey, and Shellow Bowells. With characteristic wit and irreverence, Bill Bryson presents the ludicrous and the endearing in equal measure. The result is a hilarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain." || Civilization. Travel. England. Bryson, Bill. 1900-1999 Britain -- Civilization -- 20th century.

BUCHENAU JURGEN EDITOR & TRANSLATOR
Mexico Otherwise: Modern Mexico In The Eyes Of Foreign Observers
University of New Mexico Press Albuquerque. Softcover. Brand new book. This rich anthology provides a glimpse of modern Mexico through the eyes of foreign observers. Some of these selections are by well-known authors Alexander von Humboldt John Reed B. Traven Evelyn Waugh. Some are unpublished pieces by little-known writers and six are available here for the first time in English. The writings fall into four periods: the transitions to independence and Mexico's first decades as a sovereign country 1800-1867 the era of Liberal modernization 1867-1910 the Mexican Revolution 1910-1940 and the post-World War II era. Four major topics show up repeatedly: ethnicity gender and race; cultural differences between Mexicans and foreigners; political stability and instability; and the economy and its impact on Mexicans. Although observers expressed a wide range of viewpoints on these issues they agreed in finding a stunning degree of ethnic and regional diversity as well as what they saw as stark contrasts between urban and rural rich and poor modernity and tradition. In addition to Anglo American authors the anthology includes selections by German French Norwegian and Spanish authors. Just over a third of the pieces are by women who offer glimpses of private worlds closed to men such as convent life relations between women and their servants and household affairs. Each selection contains biographical information on the author. Translated into English from the Spanish by Jurgen Buchenau. J�rgen Buchenau is associate professor of history at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. He is the author of In the Shadow of the Giant: The Making of Mexico's Central America Policy 1876-1930 and coeditor of Governors in the Mexican Revolution 1910-1952: Portraits in Conflict Corruption and Courage. "Truly international in flavor. . a diversity in perspective and long duree makes this anthology unique and no doubt valuable as a classroom tool." -- The Americas University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque paperback
