Pro Data Backup and Recovery will cover some of the more common backup applications, such as Symantec NetBackup/BackupExec, EMC NetWorker, and CommVault, but the main ..."
From Cameroon to Paris Mousgoum Architecture In and Out of Africa by StevenNelson Hardcover, 304 Pages, Published 2007 by University Of Chicago Press ISBN-13: 978-0-226-57183-6, ISBN: 0-226-57183-1
"The kind of extraordinary domed house constructed by Chad and Cameroon’s Mousgoum peoples has long held sway over the Western imagination. In fact, as Steven Nelson shows here, this prototypical beehive-shaped structure known as the teleuk has been cast as everything from a sign of authenticity to a tourist destination to a perfect fusion of form and function in an unselfconscious culture. And in this multifaceted history of the teleu ..."

"The Image of the Black in African and Asian Art asks how the black figure was depicted by artists from the non-Western world. Beginning with ancient Egypt--positioned properly as part of African history--this volume focuses on the figure of the black as rendered by artists from Africa, East Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. The aesthetic traditions illustrated here are as diverse as the political and social histories of these regions. ..."
" With globalization steadily reshaping the cultural landscape, scholars have long called for a full-scale reassessment of art history's largely Eurocentric framework. This collection of case studies and essays, the latest in the Clark Studies in the Visual Arts series, brings together voices from various disciplinary and theoretical backgrounds, each proposing ways to remap, decenter, and reorient what is often assumed to be a unified ..."

"This is the true story of the travels and dealings of a Spaniard in the New World. Landing in Mexico as a boy in 1816, Clemente struggles to find his way. At heart an entrepreneur, or mafioso, he hustles through wars, gambles against revolutionaries, teetering from one side of the law to the other. Between Havana, Tampico and New Orleans, stops around the heartland and elsewhere, he amasses fortunes and shakes his fist at death. A statu ..."
Kin to the King A Labron James Family History by StevenNelson Published 2011 ISBN-13: 978-1-4507-5709-6, ISBN: 1-4507-5709-X
"While Potted Meat and Politics is a rather short read, I suspect a lengthy diatribe on the various subjects Nelson covers would have been counter-intuitive to the many points he tries to get across. Nelson is such a clear writer and a concise story teller that this book reads quickly and easily. This quality should also endear the book to a broader base of readers. Nelson has taken what so many others often over-intellectualize and redu ..."
"Erika Hibbert's Aloe is a reminder of the indigenous natural environment now
displaced by the concrete jungle. The eleven works produced for Durban are
generally more conservative in medium, style, and iconography, with no
installations or abstract works depicted. Craft features more prominently, as in
Eliot Mkhize's colorful wire basket (Fig. 8) or S'phindile Nkosi and Pretty Zulu's
embroidered tissue; the imagery tends to engage ..."

Bradford’s recent collage work expands his use of materials to include those found in the ..."
