It is the stuff of the towering Captain Cook and his wide-ranging network of exploring voyages, Robert Louis Stevenson and Admiral Halsey. It is the place of Paul Gauguin and the explosion of the largest-ever American atomic bomb, on Bikini atoll, in 1951. It has an astonishing recent past, an uncertain present and a hugely important future.The ocean and its peoples are the new lifeblood, fizz and thrill of America - which draws so many of its minds and so much of its manners from the sea - while the inexorable rise of the ancient center of the world, China, is a fixating fascination. The presence of rogue states - North Korea most notoriously today - suggest that the focus of the responsible world is shifting away from the conventional post-war obsessions with Europe and the Middle East, and towards a new set of urgencies. Navigating the newly evolving patterns of commerce and trade, the world's most violent weather and the fascinating histories, problems and potentials of the many Pacific states, Simon Winchester's thrilling journey is a grand depiction of the future ocean.Pacific551.4614Winchester Simon1944-oth149337AUDIO9910149060203321Pacific : The Ocean of the Future3650508UNINA01991nam 2200481z- 450 991069417970332120061110083511.0(CKB)5860000000018452(BIP)013827314(EXLCZ)99586000000001845220220406c2006uuuu -u- -engA bill to provide protection for fashion design hearing before the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, second session, on H.R. 5055, July 27, 20061 online resource (iii, 222 p.) ill0-16-077366-0 Bill to provide protection for fashion design Design protectionUnited StatesFashion merchandisingLaw and legislationUnited StatesFashion designersLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesClothing tradeLaw and legislationUnited StatesFraudUnited StatesPreventionCopyright infringementUnited StatesPreventionDesign protectionFashion merchandisingFashion designersClothing tradeFraudCopyright infringementLawBusiness & economicsBiography & autobiographySocial scienceDesign protectionFashion merchandisingLaw and legislationFashion designersLegal status, laws, etc.Clothing tradeLaw and legislationFraudPrevention.Copyright infringementPrevention.United States, Congress House Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property Staff,othBOOK9910694179703321A bill to provide protection for fashion design3091390UNINA
