Navigating the waves : contemporary cuban photography ; selections from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, featuring the Madeleine P. Plonsker Collection / by Daniel, Malcolm R.,author.(CARDINAL)186104; Carrera, Raquel,author.; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston,host institution.(CARDINAL)155416;
Includes bibliographic references (page 167) and index.Director's forword: Gary Tinterow -- Acknowledgements: Malcolm Daniel and Raqual Carrera -- Navigating the waves: contemporary cuban photography: Malcolm Daniel and Raquel Carrera -- Featured works -- Exhibition checklist -- Chronology -- Selected bibliography -- Index -- Copyright and photography credits"This book presents an exciting look at the extraordinary Madeleine P. Plonsker Collection of postrevolution Cuban photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Emphasizing the years since 1990, it aims to shed light on the Cuban people and their artistic achievements featuring photographs by forty-seven photographers. These images trace the evolution of photographic expression in recent decades, from celebration of the Cuban Revolution to social and political critique, particularly after the collapse of the Soviet Union prompted perilous economic conditions in the 1990s. By examining individual identity, the body and spirit, Afro-Cuban heritage, and the margins of society, this catalogue celebrates the Cuban photographers who created powerful personal expressions while navigating the changing prescriptions and proscriptions of official cultural policy. As a result, it offers new scholarship on the evolution of Cuban photography while fostering a greater understanding of Cuba and its culture" -- Provided by publisher

The Coast Guard in World War I : an untold story / by Larzelere, Alex,1936-;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-313 and index.Transfer to the Navy -- Cutters to the war zone -- Convoy escort duty -- Home waters -- On Navy ships in the war zone -- Aviation -- Coastal stations -- Port security -- Seized German ships and troop transports -- Duty on shore -- After the Armistice."The U.S. Coast Guard suffered the highest percentage of losses of any American armed force in World War I, yet until now the extent of its involvement in the war remains little known. The author, an experienced coast guardsman himself, made extensive use of such primary sources as personal journals and letters, cutter logs, reports of commanding officers, personnel records, and interviews to compile this historic, first-time account. To bring the history to life Alex Larzelere draws on his extensive seagoing experience and fills the book with action narratives that document the heroism of men like Lt. Fletcher Brown, Warrant Officer Midgett, and their crews, men who rescued ships torpedoed by German U-boats." "The coast guard was transferred to the U.S. Navy when the United States declared war on 6 April 1917. A small service of fewer than five thousand officers and men with forty-seven cutters and 272 coastal stations, its highly experienced cuttermen were sorely needed for the navy's rapidly expanding fleet. This book describes the activities of the guardsmen and their units in the war zone and at home, from the time they were mobilized and transferred until Pres. Woodrow Wilson ordered the service returned to the Treasury Department in August 1919. As described by Larzelere, their many operations give readers a full appreciation of their contributions to the war effort."--Jacket.

The Dominion of war : empire and liberty in North America, 1500-2000 / by Anderson, Fred,1949-(CARDINAL)169309; Cayton, Andrew R. L.(Andrew Robert Lee),1954-(CARDINAL)276696;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 425-501) and index.A view in winter -- Champlain's legacy : the transformation of seventeenth-century North America -- Penn's bargain : the paradoxes of peaceable imperialism -- Washington's apprenticeship : imperial victory and collapse -- Washington's mission : the making of an imperial republic -- Jackson's vision : creating a populist empire -- Santa Anna's honor : continental counterpoint in republican Mexico -- Grant's duty : imperial war and its consequences redux -- MacArthur's inheritance : liberty and empire in the age of intervention -- MacArthur's valedictory : lessons learned, lessons forgotten -- Powell's promise."In The Dominion of War, award-winning historians Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton offer a new perspective on American history. By moving America's forgotten conflicts - its imperial wars - center stage they explain how war, above all else, has been the primary means by which the peoples of North America have defined society for the last half-millennium." "In their narrative, events like the Mexican-American War and the Indian wars, which have long been understood as minor interruptions in the grand arc of American history, emerge as central to the nation's development. Thus the transforming event of the eighteenth century is not the American Revolution but the forty-year-long cycle of imperial warfare and revolution that began with the Seven Years War."--BOOK JACKET.
