Urey (1893-1981), whose discoveries lie at the foundation of modern science, was one of the most famous American scientists of the twentieth century. Born in rural Indiana, his evolution from small-town farm boy to scientific celebrity made him a symbol and spokesman for American scientific authority. Because he rose to fame alongside the prestige of American science, the story of his life reflects broader changes in the social and intellectual landscape of twentieth-century America. In this, the first ever biography of the chemist, Matthew Shindell shines new light on Urey's struggles and achievements in a thoughtful exploration of the science, politics, and society of the Cold War era.
From Urey's orthodox religious upbringing to his death in 1981, Shindell follows the scientist through nearly a century of American history: his discovery of deuterium and heavy water earned him the Nobel Prize in 1934, his work on the Manhattan Project helped usher in the atomic age, he initiated a generation of American scientists into the world of quantum physics and chemistry, and he took on the origin of the Moon in NASA's lunar exploration program. Despite his success, however, Urey had difficulty navigating the nuclear age. In later years he lived in the shadow of the bomb he helped create, plagued by the uncertainties unleashed by the rise of American science and unable to reconcile the consequences of scientific progress with the morality of religion.
Tracing Urey's life through two world wars and the Cold War not only conveys the complex historical relationship between science and religion in the twentieth century, but it also illustrates how these complexities spilled over into the early days of space science. More than a life story, this book immerses readers in the trials and triumphs of an extraordinary man and his extraordinary times.

Описание: A historian’s view of the relationship between American history and the American film industry, this book is a witty and perceptive account of Hollywood and its films in the years from the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe to the end of the war in Korea, It describes how film makers and their industry were shaped by and responded to the strong political and social stimuli of wartime America. The author examines the recurring question of whether the movies were a reflection of the society in which they were produced, or whether by virtue of their undeniable propaganda power the films shaped that society. Combining evidence from literary, visual and oral sources, he covers a wide range of movies, emphasising in particular Casablanca, Mrs Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives and Since You Went Away. In addition to placing the films in a social and political context, the author shows that Hollywood is a perfect example of the bone-headed way in which people behave when they are dealing with large amounts of money and power. Enjoyably nostalgic, this book will appeal to film enthusiasts as well as those interested in war and its effect on society.

The Jinbutso Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, Gojūsan tsugi, 五十三次 is one of the most original of Hiroshige's huge production.
It is a hot fantasy full of secret clues.
The complete name of the series in Japanese is Tokaido Goju-san Tsugi Jinbutsu In English it is usually called Figure Tōkaidō or Jinbutsu or Jimbutsu (Figure) Tōkaidō because all the designs show people not just as tiny decorations but as important elements in the foreground of the design, like as if Hiroshige had already invented the zoom lens. Hiroshige's designs would have a huge impact on the later landscape and portrait photography.
The "people" are mostly beautiful women and the audience for this series is men dreaming of women they could in theory meet when travelling in the "floating world", ukiyo-e, of the Tōkaidō road seeking adventure and pleasure.
Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese: 歌川 広重), also called Andō Hiroshige (in Japanese: 安藤 広重;) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. He was born 1797 and died 12 October 1858.
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica. The term ukiyo-e (浮世絵) translates as "picture s] of the floating world".
Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, which is the subject of this book, and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.

The official title for this work is "Pictures from the Famous Places of the Fifty-three Stations".
Hiroshige produced these prints in 1855 more than 20 years after his first horizontal Hoeidō edition published 1833-34, which is included for comparison.
It is fantastic to see Hiroshige use of his now mature experience as he develops the vertical format for the narrative. He does designs as he would do a photograph. He set the standard for landscape photography, without a camera.
This was the most popular print series ever made in Japan. Hiroshige returned to this print series again and again, with delightful results.
It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then. The postal stations were constructed between 1601 and 1624.The official title for this work is "Pictures from the Famous Places of the Fifty-three Stations".

The Tōkaidō meisho zue (1797) on the 53 stations of the Tōkaidō Road is one of the most important Japanese illustrated woodblock printed books.
It is a forerunner for the many Tōkaidō series of colored prints of the ukiyp-e genre like the ones by Hokusai and Hiroshige a.o.
The intention of publishing this is to give lovers of Japanese prints some background material. It may also be used as a coloring book although there is a lot of text.
The Meisho zue printed books' illustrations are originally in black and white and are therefore perfect for coloring exercise and also for the study of landscape design.
The original size was hanshibon, c. 26 x 18.5 cms / 10.25in X 7in.
This volume is vol 4 of six, which were each enveloped in a rice colored folder, Chinese style, and the pages stiched together. The authors hope to be able to publish the rest in the series as well as some other printed books series.
For the reader wishing more information the authors refer to their book Hokusai 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which is available in pocket version, hard cover and large format.
The meisho zue (名 所 図 会?, literally "illustrated books of famous views") are illustrated books describing famous places (the meisho) of Japan during the second half of the Edo period, late 18th and first half of the nineteenth century. The Edo period itself is usually given as c. 1600 to 1868. The places are described there in the text through their history, the related legends, the sites to visit, as well as by the illustration which offers a faithful overview of the topology. These illustrated books are characterized by the importance of image and the desire for simplicity which make them objects intended for the greatest number of people.
The black and white meisho zue are fascinating in themselves, but they were also direct sources for the ukiyo-e artists Hokusai and Hiroshige, who had not visited all the sites they made colored prints about.
Meisho originally meant "a place with poetical association" or "a place famed in poetry". The characters used to write the word also read nadokoro. This refers to topics accepted in waka.
In the Muromachi Period (1392 - 1573) meisho started to change meaning. Non traditional waka subjects became meisho - historical spots, flourishing places, famed or notorious places, and the word came to mean "places which attract mass interest".
By mid Edo period the original meaning was completely lost. Kunisada's Edo meisho zue, .
Meisho had been reserved for the elite who could read classical Chinese and write poems. Now the "uneducated" classes grew an interest in meisho, and it passed into the increasingly prosperous lower classes which also acquired a high degree of literacy, up to 80 pct with city dwelling groups and farmers, see Yoshitaki, Kunikazu and Nansuitei Yoshiyuki 100 Views of Osaka, ISBN 9781649454539 and Hiroshige Famous Places of Naniwa (Osaka) ISBN 9781649454515.

The Kichizō Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Road, Gojūsan tsugi no uchi, 東海道六五十三次之内 is another very original of Hiroshige's huge Tokaido Road production.
The first thing you notice about this series is that the prints are often a bit dark. This is because most of them are dawn or dusk snapshots with a burning red horizon.
Another detail is that very few of the prints show samurai or daimyo. Most of the people here are commoners, rich merchants, not so rich merchants, pilgrims, coolies, all commoners.
A third important detail is that there is one print less than usual, to reach an equal number. This will surely create confusion. We have included the original Hoeidō prints with numbers as key.
