To map the shifting interplay of state with federal politics in Brazil over the turbulent period from 1930 to 1964 is a task of no mean proportion or value. Carlos Cortés attempts that and more. By arguing that Rio Grande do Sul deliberately and decisively circumscribed the actions of national political figures, most dramatically those of Getúlio Vargas between 1930 and 1937, but also those of João Goulart in the 1960s, Cortés gives bold interpretive shape to that mapping.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tunnel Tigers is a colourful portrait of the off-beat characters who worked on Scottish hydro projects, and of the tensions that were created when men of various religious and ethnic groups shared the same space. Tunnel tigers are an elite group of construction workers who specialise in a highly paid but dangerous profession: driving tunnels through mountains or underneath rivers or other large bodies of water, in locations as far apart as Sydney and San Francisco. At the turn of the last century they tunnelled out the subways under New York and London; in the 1940s and 1950s they were involved in a score of huge hydroelectric tunnels in Pitlochry and the Highlands of Scotland. They continue with their dangerous craft today in various locations all over the world. Many of these daring men were born in north west Donegal, Ireland, where the tunnel tigers were viewed as local folk heroes because they had the bravado to work in dangerous conditions that few other working men could endure. This is a natural companion to The Hydro Boys (1 84282 047 8 Luath Press) Of interest to: Anyone interested in environmentalism and conservation Anyone who was involved in the Hydro, or whose family was - and anyone curious about those massive dams and the Highlands Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
