Books with author Kenny Williams

In this story-filled monograph, Bunny Williams presents new work through 15 houses she has decorated and loved. She tells the tale of each “affair,” tracing the style of the spaces, what drew her to the projects, and her approach to decor that evolves with the lives of her clients. She offers personal secrets for choosing classics—and for decorating with flexible pieces that can play more than one role in a design scheme. Along the way, she offers many amazingly chic, but always comfortable, residences whose interiors she has designed during the latest phase of her astounding career. As Bunny tells it, “The best pieces have the best stories,” and in this book, she shows readers a fresh collection of projects that demonstrate just that.

Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.

Yes, we do calculate backwards!We read, write and pronounce numbers and words from left to right, but we calculate from right to left (starting with the units).Not only is this inconsistent, it is unnecessary too. Because calculating left to right is extremely easy, as shown in this book.But there are other, stronger reasons for working left to right.The most significant (important) figures are always on the left, so in working from the left we get these figures first. And this means it’s far more efficient, especially for quick, mental calculations.Also the left to right method allows us to combine operations which means we can do huge calculations and get the answer digit by digit to any required accuracy.For these and other reasons left to right is the natural, sensible and easy way to calculate.Whether it’s to improve your mental maths skills, or to understand the simplicity and extraordinary efficiency of this method, this book has the potential to change the way you calculate forever.This book demonstrates that we calculate backwards, describes the advantages of working the alternative way from left to right, and shows how left to right calculations can be carried out.
