Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure ...
THE CAPITALIST NIGER Chika Onyeani ………………………Every African must internalise this book - period….DAA INTRODUCTION In October 1960, Nigeria received its independence from Britain. By then, Ghana the former Gold Coast had been independent for three years under the great Osagyefo Kwame Nkumah. It was a time for celebrating Africa’s coming of age, as more and more African countries received their independence either from Britain or France. It was especially a poignant time for Africa, as then British Prime Minister Harold McMillan articulated his now famous “winds of change” sweeping Africa. We had high hopes for Africa, for the Black race, that the insidious imposition of foreign rule on us, the looting of Africa’s natural resources by our colonial masters accorded us would be things of history. That is more than forty years ago. Unfortunately, the promise of independence has not been fulfilled. Today, Africa has become more desolate; th...

Inglise 17.-18.sajandi kunst 17.saj kujutav kunst oli väga tagasihoidlik, õukonda imporditi väliskunstnikke: Rubens, van Dyck. Kunstiajakeemia luuakse alles 18 sajandi II pooles. Erakunstikoolid samas eksisteerisid ka varem. Revolutsioon 17. saj keskpaigas, tulemuseks puritaanide võimuletulek ning puritaanid ei soosinud kujutavat kunsti. Alles 18.saj kujuneb välja normaalne kultuurielu. Tol ajal on silmapaistev teatrikunst tänu Shakespeare'ile. Restauratsiooniaegne näitetegevus oli labane. Huvitavad arhitektuurinähtused 17. saj Charles I ajal Euroopa suurim kuningaloss Whitehall, arhitekt I. Jones. Ületas mitmekordselt Hispaania & Prantsuse kuningalossi. Üle 4000 saali.
