        Post-everything

        An intellectual history of post-concepts

        by Herman Paul, Adriaan van Veldhuizen

        Postmodern, postcolonial and post-truth are broadly used terms. But where do they come from? When and why did the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms emerge? And who exactly were the 'post boys' responsible for this? Post-everything examines why post-Christian, post-industrial and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated, not only among academics, but also in the popular press. It delves into the historical roots of postmodern and poststructuralist, while also subjecting more recent post-constructions (posthumanist, postfeminist) to critical scrutiny. This study is the first to offer a comprehensive history of post-concepts. In tracing how these concepts found their way into a broad range of genres and disciplines, Post-everything contributes to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.

        The War that Changed Rondo

        by Art studio Agrafka (Authors), Art studio Agrafka (Illustrators)

        Danko, Zirka and Fabian live peacefully in the small town of Rondo. They have their work and hobbies that always keep them busy... until War comes. The three friends have never experienced War before, and they don’t know how to act. In hopes of stopping War, they talk to it and fight it, but all in vain. Eventually, they discover an effective defense against the darkness of War — the power of Light. With the help of all the residents of Rondo, Danko, Zirka and Fabian build a huge light machine that disperses the darkness and stops War. The War that Changed Rondo reflects the ambiguities of war and it is a touching tribute to peace.   From 4 to 7 years, 1585 words. Rightsholders: ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua

        Edward the Second

        Christopher Marlowe

        by Charles Forker

        The introduction to this edition contains an analysis of the first quarto (including new evidence of its original dating) and a reconsideration of the play's complex relation to the Shakespearean histories that preceded and followed it. Charles R. Forker offers a discussion of Marlowe's use of sources, and presents a new argument for the drama's five-act structure. He delves into the conflicting and controversial opinions concerning the genre and sexual politics of the play, and also includes a full record of the stage history. Forker has collated some 46 editions (including the important, rare and usually ignored editions of Broughton and Oxberry in 1818). The appendices provide substantive variants from the Broughton and Oxberry texts as well as extracts from the sources. ;

        Charlemagne

        Empire and society

        by Edited by Joanna Story

        The age of Charlemagne was a crucible for change in the history of Europe, bridging the divide between the medieval and the classical worlds and setting the political and cultural tone for centuries to come. This book focuses directly on the reign of Charlemagne, bringing together a wide range of approaches and sources from the diverse voices of fifteen of the top scholars of early medieval Europe. The contributors have taken a number of original aproaches to the subject, from the fields of archaeology and numismatics to thoroughly-researched essays on key historical texts. The essays are embedded in the scholarship of recent decades but also offer insights into new areas and new approaches for research. A full bibliography of works in English as well as key reading in European languages is provided, making the volume essential reading for experienced scholars as well as students new to the history of the early middle ages. ;

        An Humorous Day's Mirth

        An Humorous Day's Mirth

        by George Chapman

        by Edited by Charles Edelman. Series edited by David Bevington, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

        George Chapman is known today as a translator of Homer and as the author of dark tragedies such as Bussy D'Ambois. An Humorous Day's Mirth was one of the most popular plays of the Elizabethan era. Not only was it the Rose Theatre's greatest box-office success of 1597, it also presented an entirely new type of comedy, one that has profoundly influenced comic writing up to the present day. This play is the English theatre's first 'comedy of humours', in which the attitudes, behaviour, and social pretensions of contemporary men and women are satirised. Charles Edelman's is the first fully annotated, modern spelling edition of this long-neglected play. In his extensive introduction and commentary, Edelman discusses the intellectual, philosophical and theatrical background, and shows that the play would delight the readers and audiences of today as much as those in 1597.

        The uncanny forms of novelistic characterization

        by Alexander Bove

        Drawing on the recent ontological turn in critical theory, Spectral Dickens explores an aspect of literary character that is neither real nor fictional, but spectral. This work thus provides an in-depth study of the inimitable characters populating Dickens' illustrated novels using three hauntological concepts: the Freudian uncanny, Derridean spectrality, and the Lacanian real. Thus, while the current discourse on character studies, which revolves around values like realism, depth, and lifelikeness, tends to see characters as mimetic of persons, this book invents new critical concepts to account for non-mimetic forms of characterization. These spectral forms bring to light the important influence of developments in nineteenth-century visual culture, such as the lithography and caricature of Daumier and J.J. Grandville. The spectrality of novelistic characters developed here paves the way for a new understanding of fictional characters in general.

        Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species

        by David Amigoni, Jeff Wallace

        This volume marks a new approach to a seminal work of the modern scientific imagination: Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species (1859). Darwin's central theory of natural selection neither originated nor could be contained, with the parameters of the natural sciences, but continues to shape and challenge our most basic assumptions about human social and political life. Several new readings, crossing the fields of history, literature, sociology, anthropology and history of science, demonstrate the complex position of the text within cultural debates past and present. Contributors examine the reception and rhetoric of the Origin and its influence on systems of classification, the nineteenth-century women's movement, literary culture (criticism and practice) and Hinduism in India. At the same time, a re-reading of Darwin and Malthus offers a constructive critique of our attempts to map the hybrid origins and influences of the text. This volume will be the ideal companion to Darwin's work for all students of literature, social and cultural history and history of science. ;

        Die Formen des Religiösen in der Gegenwart

        Die Formen des Religiösen in der Gegenwart

        by Charles Taylor, Karin Wördemann, Charles Taylor

        Ausgehend von William James' 1902 erschienener Untersuchung "Die Vielfalt religiöser Erfahrung" verfolgt Charles Taylor die Verschiebungen im Verhältnis von Religion, Individuum und Gesellschaft, von Spirituellem und Politischem bis in die Gegenwart. Der Rückzug des religiösen aus der öffentlichen Sphäre hat die Religion nicht ins Private eingeschlossen; vielmehr verbirgt sich hinter diesem Prozeß eine Kulturrevolution: Der moderne »expressive« Individualismus hat eine Vielfalt neuer Religionsformen und -gemeinschaften hervorgebracht, die auf die traditionellen Formen zurückwirkt und die Gesellschaft verändert. Der Ort der Religion muß neu bestimmt werden.

        Darwin für Kinder und Erwachsene

        »Die ungeheure Verschiedenartigkeit der Pflanzen und Tiere«

        by Charles Darwin, Hans Traxler, Volker Mosbrugger, Volker Mosbrugger

        Jeder hat von Charles Darwin gehört, und fast jeder von seiner bahnbrechenden Evolutionstheorie. Volker Mosbrugger und Hans Traxler sind dem Lebensweg Darwins und dem Weg seines Werks gefolgt. Sein bedeutendes Buch »Über die Entstehung der Arten«, das 1859 erstmals erschien, hat ihn weltberühmt gemacht, aber es hat ihm auch Feinde eingebracht, denn sowohl seine Abstammungslehre als auch die Vorstellung, daß im »Kampf ums Dasein« nur die Tüchtigeren überleben, ist von Anfang an bis heute immer wieder angefeindet worden. Geboren wurde Darwin in einem englischen Landstädtchen, sein Interesse an der Natur und den Naturwissenschaften, insbesondere an der Biologie, war schon von Kindheit an groß. Er interessierte sich für die Gesteine, sammelte gerne Käfer, und 1831 brach er zu einer fünfjährigen Expedition mit dem berühmten Schiff, das den Namen Beagle trug, zu einer Reise um die Welt auf. Er besuchte Patagonien und Feuerland und die Galapagosinseln, wo er Vögel beobachtete, was ihn zu seiner Theorie anregte, und von wo er eine Schildkröte mitbrachte, die im Alter von 176 Jahren erst vor kurzem gestorben ist. Darwin selbst starb im Alter von 73 Jahren und wurde in der Westminster Abbey bestattet. Im Jahr 2000 wurde sein Bild auf die britische 10-Pfund-Note gedruckt, weil angeblich sein Bart nur schwer zu fälschen sei.

        Ecological History of European Forests

        by Edited by Keith, Charles Watkins

        Forest is the natural vegetation of most of Europe. Although the majority has been destroyed by human activity over the centuries, a considerable amount remains and has been managed to varying degrees and for a wide variety of reasons. This has resulted in a large number of natural and semi-natural landscapes and habitat types over the region and a high diversity of plant and animal communities adapted to them. The growing interest in natural history and the environment in recent years has resulted in a greater demand for information on the complex ecological history of European forest. This book is unique in providing wide ranging and detailed case studies on specific aspects, including grazing, management practices and conservation and overviews, from recognised authorities, of the latest research on the ecological history of forests and woodland in Europe. It consists of selected papers given at an international conference of forest historians organised in association with the British Ecological Society and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations at Nottingham University in September 1996. Contributions come from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Turkey. This book is essential reading for ecologists, conservationists, landscape historians, foresters and geographers. It will also be of interest to advanced students in these areas.

        European Woods and Forests

        Studies in Cultural History

        by Edited by Charles Watkins

        Woods and forests were the principal source of fuel in Europe for many hundreds of years. In addition, they were crucially important as a source of construction material for a wide range of domestic, agricultural, industrial and military artifacts. Moreover, they were used for grazing, cultivation and hunting. Consequently, the varied landscapes of today are often a result of past management policies which were closely linked to important events and cultural developments in human history. This book is a valuable source of information for historians and conservationists who wish to preserve our cultural heritage. This book is an interdisciplinary work which draws on selected papers presented at an international conference of forest historians organised at The University of Nottingham in September 1996 in association with the British Ecological Society and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations. In it, historians, geographers and foresters who are leading authorities explore recent developments in the study of the cultural history of European forests in a wide selection of case studies from Scotland, Central England, Spain, Germany and Israel. The book concludes with a theoretical consideration of the concept of ancient woodland. It represents essential reading for landscape historians, geographers, foresters, ecologists, conservationists and land managers with an interest in European forests and is also a useful source for advanced students of these disciplines.

        National Farm Survey 1941-43

        State Surveillance and the Countryside in England and Wales in the Second World War

        by Brian Short, William Foot, Phil Kinsman. Edited by Charles Watkins.

        During the Second World War, there was concern as to whether Britain, unable to import food from abroad, would be able to feed the population. Therefore, the National Farm Survey was conducted during 1941-43, and described every farm in England and Wales in great detail. Because of its sensitivity, this material only became publicly available in 1992 after a fifty-year closure period. Information on farming types, cropping and stocking, machinery, employment, farm size and structure, land ownership and farm buildings was provided for all farms which were larger than 5 acres at that time.This book gives an overview of the Survey, and provides the most complete ‘Doomsday’ of British agriculture available, including maps and illustrations of the areas surveyed at that time. It is a unique source for measuring post-war changes in agriculture, environment and society.

        Sexually Transmitted Infections and AIDS in the Tropics

        by Edited by Om P Arya, Charles A Hart

        Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) are a major public health problem both in their own right and because of their link with HIV infection. This has elevated their control to an absolute priority throughout the world. In developing countries, which account for approximately 75% of the easily curable STI, as estimated by the WHO, and where sexually transmitted HIV infection has reached epidemic proportions, the need is most acute. Here AIDS is claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. In addition, because of inadequate resources, the sequelae of STI (e.g. infertility and some cancers) contribute greatly to ill-health in the tropics. This book written by acknowledged experts working or with experience in tropical countries, gives clear, concise and up to date knowledge and understanding on all aspects of Sexually Transmitted Infections. It should be useful for all those involved in the appropriate management and control of STI in various settings, ranging from peripheral and rural and urban health care centres to large hospitals. It will also be invaluable for students of tropical medicine, medical microbiology and genito-urinary medicine.
