By the 1970s it looked as if QE2 would be the last of the great
transatlantic ocean liners. However, over three decades later the
world watched in awe as Queen Mary 2, the largest, longest,
grandest and most expensive ocean liner ever to be constructed, set
sail on her maiden voyage in 2004. With 14 decks and beautiful
lounges, dining rooms and a ballroom, QM2 evokes the glamour of the
golden age of ocean travel. QM2: A Photographic Journey allows the
reader to experience this unique vessel from the comfort of their
own home, with numerous photographs of each of QM2's public rooms
as well as stunning exterior shots and behind the scenes access.
This revised edition has been extensively updated to reflect the
2016 refit, with many new photographs from around the ship.
Minnesota’s Twin Cities have long been powerful engines of
change. From their origins in the early nineteenth century, the
Twin Cities helped drive the dispossession of the region’s Native
American peoples, turned their riverfronts into bustling industrial
and commercial centers, spread streets and homes outward to the
horizon, and reached well beyond their urban confines, setting in
motion the environmental transformation of distant hinterlands. As
these processes unfolded, residents inscribed their culture into
the landscape, complete with all its tensions, disagreements,
contradictions, prejudices, and social inequalities. These stories
lie at the heart of Nature’s Crossroads. The book features an
interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars who aim to open
new conversations about the environmental history of the Twin
Cities and Greater Minnesota.
Queen Elizabeth: A Photographic Journey allows the reader to travel
aboard Cunard's newest ship, the second largest ship to carry the
Cunard colours. The ultimate in luxury cruising waits aboard Queen
Elizabeth. From the three-storey Royal Court Theatre, complete with
box seating, to the opulence of the Queens Room, the authors have
captured the interior elegance of Queen Elizabeth with
never-before-published images. Explore the behind-the-scenes areas,
with a tour of the Engine Room, Stores and the Bridge, before
returning to the passenger areas to discover bars, lounges,
restaurants and cabins. This stunning volume is a must-have whether
you're a seasoned Cunard passenger, or simply an armchair
traveller. Written by two enthusiastic Cunard fans, travellers and
historians, this book is beautifully illustrated with over 200
colour photographs and includes a foreword by Peter Shanks, former
president of the Cunard Line, thoughts from Commodore Rynd on the
ship's fifth anniversary and an afterword by Captain Chris Wells,
Queen Elizabeth's First Master. This is Chris Frame and Rachelle
Cross' sixth Cunard book and the fourth in their Journey series.
Battleground models Wisconsin's contentious political communication
ecology: the way that politics, social life, and communication
intersect and create conditions of polarization and democratic
decline. Drawing from 10 years of interviews, news and social media
content, and state-wide surveys, we combine qualitative and
computational analysis with time-series and multi-level modeling to
study this hybrid communication system - an approach that yields
unique insights about nationalization, social structure,
conventional discourses, and the lifeworld. We explore these
concepts through case studies of immigration, healthcare, and
economic development, concluding that despite nationalization,
distinct state-level effects vary by issue as partisan actors exert
their discursive power.
