Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2022A new naval history
by Quintin Colville, James Davey, Katherine Parker, Elaine Chalus, Evan Wilson, Barbara Korte, Cicely Robinson, Cindy McCreery, Ellie Miles, Mary A. Conley, Jonathan Rayner, Daniel Spence, Emma Hanna, Ulrike Zimmerman, Max Jones, Jan Rüger
A New Naval History brings together the most significant and interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary naval history. The last few decades have witnessed a transformation in how this field is researched and understood and this volume captures the state of a field that continues to develop apace. It examines - through the prism of naval affairs - issues of nationhood and imperialism; the legacy of Nelson; the socio-cultural realities of life in ships and naval bases; and the processes of commemoration, journalism and stage-managed pageantry that plotted the interrelationship of ship and shore. This bold and original publication will be essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students of naval and maritime history. Beyond that, though, it marks an important intervention into wider historiographies that will be read by scholars from across the spectrum of social history, cultural studies and the analysis of national identity.

March 2008Psychiatrie, Psychoanalyse und die neue Biologie des Geistes
by Eric R. Kandel, Michael Bischoff, Jürgen Schröder, Gerhard Roth
Dem Nobelpreisträger Eric Kandel gebührt das Verdienst, das bis dahin gänzlich unerkundete Gebiet der Beziehungen zwischen Neurobiologie und Psychoanalyse erschlossen zu haben. Heute ist es eines der spannendsten und zugleich innovativsten Felder der Wissenschaften überhaupt. Die vorliegende Sammlung von Aufsätzen Eric Kandels lädt den Leser zu „einer der wichtigsten, bedeutsamsten und aufregendsten Forschungsreisen unserer Zeit ein“ (Stuart C. Yudofsky) – zu einer Erkundung der Funktionsweise des menschlichen Gehirns und der Möglichkeiten, durch die Psychoanalyse und die Psychiatrie auf diese Einfluß zu nehmen. Der Band, den der Protagonist der deutschen Hirnforschungsdebatte, Gerhard Roth, einleitet und der mit einer sehr persönlichen Einführung Eric Kandels beginnt, bietet einen konzisen Überblick dieser Revolution der psychiatrischen Forschung.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2008Destination Australia
Migration to Australia since 1901
by Eric Richards
In 1901 most Australians were loyal, white subjects of the British Empire with direct connections to Britain. Within a hundred years, following an unparalleled immigration program, its population was one of the most diverse on earth. No other country has achieved such radical social and demographic change in so short a time. Destination Australia tells the story of this extraordinary transformation. Against the odds, this change has caused minimal social disruption and tension. While immigration has generated some political and social anxieties, Australia has maintained a stable democracy and a coherent social fabric. One of the impressive achievements of this book is in explaining why this might be so. Eric Richards recounts the experiences of many individual migrants from all over the world, examines the dramas and challenges of officials involved in this grand experiment and ends up telling a truly remarkable story. Compelling and revealing, Destination Australia is essentially the Australian story of the twentieth century. ;

FictionSeptember 2017A Vision of Battlements
by Anthony Burgess
by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake
A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

March 2024Today Is a Good Day to Abolish the Patriarchy
by Bettina Schulte (ed.)
Do we still need feminism in Europe? Equality or difference feminism? A new generation of feminists has now broken away from the feminism of the 1960s. The old white Cis man has been discredited, by the "#MeToo" movement at the latest. Sexualised violence against women has been outlawed, perpetrators taken to court. So everything’s good? No, of course not. Men still dominate public discourse; men are unchallenged in leadership positions in politics, society and business; male power still prevails in the domestic environment as well. The extent to which men fight back when they feel threatened by feminism is also evident in the revival of authoritarian nationalist politicians in Europe and around the world. The seven authors shed light on feminist struggles in different areas of life, and illustrate the range of feminism today.

March 1977Auf dem Weg zum >historischen Kompromiß<
Ein Gespräch über Entwicklung und Programmatik der KPI. Aus dem Italienischen übersetzt von Sophie G. Alf
by Giorgio Napolitano, Eric J. Hobsbawm, Sophie G. Alf
Giorgio Napolitano, geboren 1925 in Neapel, war bis zum XIV. Parteitag (1975) verantwortlich für die Kulturabteilung der KPI, heute leitet er die Abteilung »Probleme der Arbeit«; seit 1963 gehört er dem Parteipräsidium und dem Sekretariat der KPI an. - Eric J. Hobsbawm, geboren 1917 in Alexandria, lehrt Soziologie am Birkbeck College der Londoner Universität. Er ist durch Veröffentlichungen zur europäischen Sozialgeschichte (Industrie und Empire 1 und 2. Britische Wirtschaftsgeschichte seit 1750, Frankfurt am Main 1969) hervorgetreten. Die jüngsten Wahlerfolge der Kommunistischen Partei Italiens (PCI) und die These vom »historischen Kompromiß«, von einem Regierungsbündnis zwischen Kommunisten und Bürgerlichen, haben die internationale politische Diskussion in den letzten Monaten erheblich beeinflußt. Gegner und Anhänger der neuen Strategie der KPI, in der die nationale Selbständigkeit der Partei in den Vordergrund gestellt ist, bekräftigen gleichermaßen nachdrücklich ihre Positionen: die einen hoffnungsvoll, die anderen warnend. In dieser Situation mag ein Dialog wie der zwischen dem englischen Sozialhistoriker Hobsbawm und dem Präsidiumsmitglied Napolitano Licht in die inneritalienische Entwicklung, insbesondere in das Programm und die politischen Grundvorstellungen der KPI bringen. Die Themen, um die das Gespräch sich dreht, sind: die Geschichte der Partei seit Togliattis Tod, die Begründung des neuen politischen Konzepts, die ökonomische Krise des Landes, die Aussichten für die Verwirklichung des Sozialismus in Italien, die Kulturpolitik, Einschätzungen der wirtschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit in Europa, die Erfahrungen der europäischen Arbeiterbewegung, die Strategie des »historischen Kompromisses«, Fragen der politischen Philosophie (Demokratie und Sozialismus).

Teaching, Language & ReferenceAugust 2011A history of English spelling
by D. G. Scragg
This book provides an outline history of English spelling from the Anglo-Saxon' adoption of the Roman alphabet to the present day. It shows the respective influences on modern usage of native French and Latin orthographies and attempts a definition of the manner in which spelling stabilised. A final chapter traces changing notions of correctness in spelling during the last four centuries, and also gives a summary of the principle movements for its reform in favour of a more consistent and phonetic system of notion. Students in higher education specialising in English or linguistics and also those studying other languages at an advanced level should find this a useful book. The general reader with an interest in the history of his language or the question of spelling will find it most readable ;
