First World WarNovember 2009Poverty, philanthropy and the state
Charities and the working classes in London, 1918–79
by Katharine Bradley
This book looks at a number of charities in London between 1918 and 1979, and the ways in which they negotiated the growth of the welfare state and changes in the communities around them.These charities - the 'university settlements'- were founded in the 1880's and 1890's and brought young graduates such as William Beveridge & Clement Attlee to deprived areas of cities to undertake social work. It is of interest to those who wish to know more about the complexities of the relationships between charities, the welfare state and individuals in the course of the twentieth century. Bradley argues that whilst the settlements often had difficulties in sustaining their work with the vulnerable, they remained an important factor between the individual and the impacts of poverty. Aimed at scholars in the fields of history, social policy, sociology and criminology this book will also be of interest to practitioners in the voluntary sector and government.

PoetryJuly 1904Paradise Lost
by John Milton
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

May 1996The Church of John F. Kennedy
Roman
by Thomas Meinecke
Auf der Suche nach den transatlantischen Luftwurzeln der europäischen - und vor allem auch: der deutschen - Kultur in Amerika bewahrheitet sich dem Reisenden Wenzel Assmann die These, daß die USA zwar imstande sind, die ganze Welt über den Einheitskamm ihres »Way of Life« zu scheren, daß sie nach innen jedoch eine bis heute äußerst heterogene Kulturlandschaft voller weißer Flecken und schwarzer Löcher aufweisen. Jene Kadenzen, die von den einzelnen ethnischen Gruppierungen der Salatschüssel U.S.A. auf die europäische Nationalstaatlichkeit, der sie einst entflohen sind, angestimmt werden, erscheinen dabei als nach wie vor utopischer Vielklang, der in krassem Gegensatz zu den engstirnigen Bestrebungen des während seines sogenannten Einigungsprozesses in lärmende National- und wütende Kleinstaaterei zerfallenden Europas steht.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureAugust 2018Ethical Tensions from New Technology
The Case of Agricultural Biotechnology
by Harvey S. James, Jr., Philipp Aerni, Rachel A. Ankeny, Bartosz Bartkowski, Heather J. Bray, Bradley Martin Jones, Deepthi E. Kolady, Jane Kolodinsky, Katie M. MacDonald, Kelly A. McKinley, Desmond Ng, Frauke Pirscher, Roberto Quiroz, Dane Scott, Shivendra Kumar Srivastava, Debra M. Strauss, Insa Theesfeld, Johannes Timaeus, Corrine Valdivia, Duane Windsor
The introduction of new technologies can be controversial, especially when they create ethical tensions as well as winners and losers among stakeholders and interest groups. While ethical tensions resulting from the genetic modification of crops and plants and their supportive gene technologies have been apparent for decades, persistent challenges remain. This book explores the contemporary nature, type, extent and implications of ethical tensions resulting from agricultural biotechnology specifically and technology generally. There are four main arenas of ethical tensions: public opinion, policy and regulation, technology as solutions to problems, and older versus new technologies. Contributions focus on one or more of these arenas by identifying the ethical tensions technology creates and articulating emerging fault lines and, where possible, viable solutions. Key features include: Focusing on contemporary challenges created by new and emerging technologies, especially agricultural biotechnology. Identifying a unique perspective by considering the problem of ethical tensions created or enhanced by new technologies. Providing an interdisciplinary perspective by including perspectives from sociologists, economists, philosophers and other social scientists. This book will be of interest to academics in agricultural economics, sociology and philosophy and policymakers concerned with introducing new technology into agriculture.

MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

March 2013Alice in Sussex
Frei nach Lewis Carroll und H.C. Artmann
by Nicolas Mahler, Andreas Platthaus, Nicolas Mahler, Lewis Carroll
Alice findet sich im Traumland wieder. Dort trifft sie auf das weiße Kaninchen, das Alice in seinen unterirdischen Bau führt, um dort nach einer illustrierten Ausgabe von H.C. Artmanns »Frankenstein in Sussex« zu suchen. Im Laufe der Handlung trifft Alice wiederholt auf das Kaninchen, das auch aus anderen literarischen Werken zitiert, sei es von Herman Melville oder E.M. Cioran. Anders als bei Carroll befindet sich diese Alice nicht im Wunderland, sondern in einem tiefen Haus unter der Erde. Dort begegnet sie in verschiedenen Stockwerken den bekannten Schöpfungen Lewis Carrolls: der pfeiferauchenden Raupe, der grinsenden Katze, der Suppenschildkröte und anderen mehr. Wiederholt werden von diesen Kreaturen die Schrecknisse der Kindheit und Jugend angesprochen. Als Alice, im Erdgeschoss des Hauses angekommen, Frankensteins Monster begegnet, erwacht sie aus ihrem schrecklichen Traum.
