        Mary and Philip

        The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain

        by Alexander Samson

        Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip's reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip's important contributions as king of England.

        Über Gewißheit
        July 1970

        Über Gewißheit

        by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Georg Henrik Wright, G. E. M. Anscombe, Rush Rhees

        Der Jubiläumsband 250 der Bibliothek Suhrkamp ist ein durch und durch philosophisches Buch. Ludwig Wittgenstein (1898-1951) – in der angelsächsischen Welt als »der größte Philosoph des 20. Jahrhunderts« geachtet, während bei uns die Diskussion über ihn erst beginnt – zieht in diesem Buch eine Summe. Er stellt die Frage: was und wie können wir wissen? Welche Grundgewißheiten gibt es in unserer Sprache, in unserem Denken, denn nur wenn wir sie wissen, können wir miteinander sprechen und uns verstehen. Die Aufzeichnungen zielen auf die Grenzen unserer Erfahrung und die Möglichkeit des Erkennens. ›Über Gewißheit‹, zum ersten Mal aus dem Nachlaß veröffentlicht, in den letzten Lebensmonaten Wittgensteins entstanden, die letzte Seite zwei Tage vor seinem Tod. Henrik von Wright schrieb: »Noch zwei Tage vor seinem Tode schrieb er neue Gedanken. Diese gehören zum Besten, was er gedacht hat.«

        The early Spenser, 1554–80

        The early Spenser, 1554–80

        'Minde on honour fixed'

        by Jean R. Brink, Joshua Samuel Reid

        Brink's provocative biography shows that Spenser was not the would-be court poet whom Karl Marx's described as 'Elizabeth's arse-kissing poet'. In this readable and informative account, Spenser is depicted as the protégé of a circle of London clergymen, who expected him to take holy orders. Brink shows that the young Spenser was known to Alexander Nowell, author of Nowell's Catechism and Dean of St. Paul's. Significantly revising the received biography, Brink argues that that it was Harvey alone who orchestrated Familiar Letters (1580). He used this correspondence to further his career and invented the portrait of Spenser as his admiring disciple. Contextualising Spenser's life by comparisons with Shakespeare and Sir Walter Ralegh, Brink shows that Spenser shared with Sir Philip Sidney an allegiance to the early modern chivalric code. His departure for Ireland was a high point, not an exile.

        The child in Spanish cinema

        by Sarah Wright

        In this, the first full-length treatment of the child in Spanish cinema, Sarah Wright explores the ways that the cinematic child comes to represent 'prosthetic memory'. The central theme of the child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the self to the past, and to cinema. Concentrating on films from the 1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films, musicals, 'art-house horror', science-fiction, social realism and fantasy. It includes reference to Erice's The Spirit of The Beehive, del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Mañas's El Bola and the Marisol films. The book also draws on a century of filmmaking in Spain and intersects with recent revelations concerning the horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema. This book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in the areas of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies and cinema studies.

        Love's Victory

        Lady Mary Wroth

        by Alison Findlay, Philip Sidney, Michael Brennan

        Love's Victory by Lady Mary Wroth (1587-1651) is the first romantic comedy written in English by a woman. The Revels Plays publishes for the first time a fully-authorised, modern spelling edition of the Penshurst manuscript, the only copy of the play containing all five acts, handwritten by Wroth and privately owned by the Viscount De L'Isle. Edited by Alison Findlay, Philip Sidney and Michael G. Brennan, their critical introduction provides details of Wroth's remarkable life and work as a member of the Sidney family, tracing connections between Love's Victory, her prose and poetry and her family's extensive writings. The editors introduce readers to the influence of court drama on Love's Victory and offer a new account of the play's stage history in productions from 1999-2018. Extensive commentary notes guiding the modern reader include explanatory glosses, literary references and staging information.

        Science Under Scarcity

        Principles and Practice for Agricultural Research and Priority Setting

        by Julian M Alston, George W Norton, Philip G Pardey

        Resources for agricultural science are scarce across the world. Yet even as resources are shrinking, agricultural science has expanded its inquiry into many new areas - such as environmental preservation, food quality, and rural development - without forsaking its more traditional concerns. In a time of tight government budgets, research administrators are faced with the need to provide strong evidence that costs are justified by benefits. Science under Scarcity is an invaluable guide to the theory and methods necessary for evaluating research in agriculture and for setting priorities for resource allocation. Although economists have made significant progress in developing more sophisticated methods for research evaluation and priority setting, many research analysts and administrators do not have a working knowledge of those practices. Without the assistance of formal economic analysis it is particularly difficult to assess the social value of new technologies or to make informed judgements about the trade-offs that are involved in allocation decisions. Addressing that knowledge gap, this book reviews, synthesizes, and extends such methods as economic surplus analysis, econometric techniques, mathematical programming procedures, and scoring models. It discusses these practices in the context of scientific policy, describes their conceptual foundations, and explains how to do them.Originally published in 1995 in hardcover by Cornell University Press, it is now reissued in paperback by CAB INTERNATIONAL.

        Warum Klasse zählt

        by Erik Olin Wright, Philipp Hölzing, Oliver Nachtwey

        Was sind soziale Klassen? Was kennzeichnet sie, wie entstehen sie und wie wirken sie sich auf das Leben der Menschen aus? Der amerikanische Soziologe Erik Olin Wright hat sich ein Leben lang mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt und die bedeutendste sozialwissenschaftliche Neuformulierung der Klassentheorie vorgelegt. Sein klassischer Aufsatz »Klasse verstehen« sowie ein ausführliches Interview mit Wright darüber, warum Klasse zählt, liegen mit diesem Band nun erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Die Klassentheorie kennt drei große Traditionen: Stratifizierungsansätze definieren Klasse anhand individueller Eigenschaften und Lebensbedingungen, weberianische Ansätze anhand von Mechanismen der Chancenhortung und marxistische Ansätze anhand von Mechanismen der Ausbeutung und Herrschaft. Für Wright besteht die zentrale Aufgabe nun darin, diese Mechanismen zu verstehen, um sie in einem Erklärungsmodell zu vereinen, das die Mikroebene der Klasseneffekte, die sich an Eigenschaften von Individuen zeigen, mit den Wirkungen der Makroebene, die durch die Art der strukturellen Positionen auf dem Markt und in der wirtschaftlichen Produktion generiert werden, verbindet. Ein Meilenstein der Klassentheorie!

        RACKET BOY - WHERE'S MY COUNTRY

        by Philip George, Geetha K

        Do you marvel at people who seemingly have it all only to drop everything for life in a remote village? Have you wondered about leaving your roots for migration to the unknown?  ‘Fit only for climbing coconut trees.’ The mockery invented by Philip’s father because he was badminton-mad and useless (said father) at all else, lingered with him through school in Malaysia. It travelled with him on an Aeroflot to England in 1970, aged 18, functioning onadrenaline. It stuck through his navigation of parochial middle England – caring for patientsin a mental hospital, law practice, sports, and relationships.  Toughened by an Indian father and a Chinese coach, lifted by a messiah-like Englishman and grounded by a Labrador soulmate, Racket Boy – Where’s My Country, explores Philip’s life over six decades. From being ordered by the British government to leave England, accosted in Bombay, mugged in Barcelona to horse-trading with a petroleum giant in Ecuador and thrilling in a World Cup in military-ruled Argentina, to list a few highlights.    Philip is now a spectator in the hills of Tuscany, more than just fit to be climbing coconut trees!

Du könntest beispielsweise von deinem Verflossenen enthauptet werden, aus Rache fremde Männer kastrieren oder das Leben mit einer Sexpuppe verbringen. In Kill your Darling! präsentiert die New Yorker Journalistin Jennifer Wright die dreizehn skurrilsten und blutigsten Schlussmachepisoden der Geschichte – vom Massenmörder Nero bis hin zu Oskar Kokoschka –, boshaft-ironisch und doch mit der richtigen Dosis Empathie. Ein Buch für alle, die geliebt haben und verlassen wurden; für alle, die spätnachts zu viele Wut-E-Mails an ihre Verflossenen geschickt haben.

        Tropical Moist Forest Silviculture and Management

        A History of Success and Failure

        by H C Dawkins, Michael S Philip

        Silviculture in tropical forests has a long history going back many centuries and active management for timber production began about two hundred years ago. There is therefore a considerable body of evidence regarding both sustainable and destructive forestry practices in these forests, the future of which is the subject of one of the great scientific and public debates of the late twentieth century. Based on fifty years experience by each author and extensive research of the literature, this book provides information, much of which was previously not widely available, on the development of silvicultural systems in tropical moist forest (a broad term which encompasses many forest types). The book begins by tracing the early history and goes on to describe the later, more technical phases and the growth of global exploitation. Examples from many countries are described in detail, considering all aspects including the economic, ecological and social implications. It is the aim of the authors to demonstrate that sustainable timber production in many of these forests is not only possible, but the techniques necessary have been known to foresters for many decades. This book is essential reading for forest managers in the tropics, advanced students and researchers in forestry and ecology concerned with natural resource management and will also be of interest to economists, policy makers and environmentalists

        K u n s t / A n g s t     EIN ÜBERLEBENSHANDBUCH FÜR DEN KÜNSTLER Von DAVID BAYLES & TED ORLAND   Worum geht es bei Kunst? Wohin bewegt sie sich? Welche Widerstände gibt es?   DAS SIND DIE FRAGEN, AUF DIE ES ANKOMMT, wiederkehrende Fragen, die sich in jedem Stadium der künstlerischen Entwicklung stellen. Sie sind der Ursprung für dieses Kompendium scharfsinniger Beobachtungen.   Kunst & Angst erforscht, wie Kunst geschaffen wird, die Gründe, warum Kunstwerke oft nicht entstehen und die Art der Schwierigkeiten, die so viele Künstler dazu bringt, auf der Wegstrecke aufzugeben. Dieses Buch handelt davon, was du fühlst, wenn du in deinem Atelier oder im Lehrsaal sitzt, du an der Töpferscheibe oder am Keyboard, vor der Staffelei oder hinter deiner Kamera stehst und du versuchst, das Werk, das dir bestimmt ist, zu schaffen. Es geht darum, dass du deine Zukunft in die Hand nimmst, den Freien Willen über Vorherbestimmung, die Wahl vor den Zufall stellst. Es geht darum, dein eigenes Werk zu finden.
