Найти книгу: "Paradoxes of Green"

This innovative multidisciplinary study considers the concept of green from multiple perspectives—aesthetic, architectural, environmental, political, and social—in the Kingdom of Bahrain, where green has a long and deep history of appearing cooling, productive, and prosperous—a radical contrast to the hot and hostile desert. Although green is often celebrated in cities as a counter to gray urban environments, green has not always been good for cities. Similarly, manifestation of the color green in arid urban environments is often in direct conflict with the practice of green from an environmental point of view. This paradox is at the heart of the book. In arid environments such as Bahrain, the contradiction becomes extreme and even unsustainable. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Gareth Doherty explores the landscapes of Bahrain, where green represents a plethora of implicit human values and exists in dialectical tension with other culturally and environmentally significant colors and hues. Explicit in his book is the argument that concepts of color and object are mutually defining and thus a discussion about green becomes a discussion about the creation of space and place.

Sellest, kui palju ja kuidas onnestus Arnold Greenil spordi- ja kultuurirahvast aidata, saame aimu kaesolevast raamatust.

Kui ookeani kaldal vaikeses majas sureb selle omanik, eakas daam, kelle ainsaks kaaslaseks oli juba aastatid vana poolpime kass, ei suuda keegi uskuda, et tegu on morvaga. Kui aga uksteise jarel hakkavad Green Islandile saabuma nii noored kui ka aastates parijad, muutub olukord ponevaks. Kas toesti ihaldab see kirju seltskond maja, mis peab vaevalt vastu esimesele sugistormile. Ja siis leitakse vanadaami testament, mille avamisel selgub, et ta on maaranud – porunud nagu ta oli olnud kogu elu! – oma kassi ja maja ainuparijaks koigile tundmatu mehe – Frank Steeli.
