Описание: From the most cavernous engine sheds, like Old Oak Common, through the eccentric country halts on the Tollesbury line and the gantries of the Liverpool Overhead Railway, to the soaring viaducts of Belah and Cumlin, Britain`s Lost Railways offers a sweeping celebration of our railway heritage. The selection of images and the removable facsimile memorabilia, including tickets, posters, timetables and maps, allows the reader to step into that past, serving as a testimony to an age of ingenuity and ambition when the pride we invested in our railways was reflected in the grandeur of the architecture we built for them.

Описание: Karl Hanssen’s memoirs provide an invaluable outsider’s view of life in New Zealand prisons and a unique perspective on German Samoa under New Zealand occupation. In October 1915, Hanssen, manager of the DHPG, a large German copra production company, was sent from Samoa to New Zealand to serve a six-month sentence imposed by a New Zealand military court for bypassing war censorship regulations. He served his sentence in a number of prisons in New Zealand, including two months in the high-security prison, Mt Eden. Hanssen’s memoirs – in English translation and in the original German – are made available for the first time in this edition, which also features photos from his Samoan album and a comprehensive introduction by Bronwyn Chapman on the historical and political background.
Автор: Julia Schultz Название: Twentieth-Century Borrowings from German to English: Their Semantic Integration and Contextual Usage ISBN: 3631675135 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631675137 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 92290.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: While there are plenty of studies on the impact English has exerted on the German language, the reverse contact situation has been relatively neglected. This monograph sets out to shed light on the German influence on the English lexicon in the twentieth century. It provides the first systematic appraisal of the semantic integration and contextual usage of the words adopted from German in the past few decades. The results presented in this study are based on the evaluation of a comprehensive lexicographical corpus of 1958 twentieth century German borrowings retrieved from the Oxford English Dictionary Online. The present-day usage of the borrowings is illustrated with linguistic documentary evidence collected from a wide range of English language corpora.
Автор: Archer Emerald Название: Women, Warfare and Representation ISBN: 1350098655 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350098657 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 35890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Women, Warfare and Representation considers the various ways the American servicewoman has been represented throughout the 20th century and how those representations impact the roles she is permitted to inhabit. While women have a relatively short history in the American military, the last century shows an evolution of women's direct participation in war despite the need to overcome societal sex-role expectations.
The primary focus is on the American case, but Emerald Archer also introduces a comparative element, showing how women's integration in the military differs in other countries, including Great Britain, Canada and Israel. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws on military history, theory and social psychology to offer a more complete and integrated history of women in the military and their representation in society.
Автор: Finlay, John Название: Henri Bertin and the Representation of China in Eighteenth-Century France ISBN: 1138204730 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138204737 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 148010.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This is an in-depth study of the intellectual, technical, and artistic encounters between Europe and China in the late eighteenth century.
During his political career, Helmut Kohl used his own life story to promote a normalization of German nationalism and to overcome the stigma of the Nazi period. In the context of the cold war and the memory of the fascist past, he was able to exploit the combination of his religious, generational, regional, and educational (he has a PhD in History) experiences by connecting nationalist ideas to particular biographical narratives. Kohl presented himself as the embodiment of “normality”: a de-radicalized German nationalism which was intended to eclipse any anti-Western and post-national peculiarities. This book takes a biographical approach to the study of nationalism by examining its manifestation in Helmut Kohl and the way he historicized Germany’s past.
Автор: Emily Westkaemper Название: Selling Women`s History: Packaging Feminism in Twentieth-Century American Popular Culture ISBN: 0813576334 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780813576336 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 125400.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Only in recent decades has the American academic profession taken women’s history seriously. But the very concept of women’s history has a much longer past, one that’s intimately entwined with the development of American advertising and consumer culture. Selling Women’s History reveals how, from the 1900s to the 1970s, popular culture helped teach Americans about the accomplishments of their foremothers, promoting an awareness of women’s wide-ranging capabilities. On one hand, Emily Westkaemper examines how this was a marketing ploy, as Madison Avenue co-opted women’s history to sell everything from Betsy Ross Red lipstick to Virginia Slims cigarettes. But she also shows how pioneering adwomen and female historians used consumer culture to publicize histories that were ignored elsewhere. Their feminist work challenged sexist assumptions about women’s subordinate roles. Assessing a dazzling array of media, including soap operas, advertisements, films, magazines, calendars, and greeting cards, Selling Women’s History offers a new perspective on how early- and mid-twentieth-century women saw themselves. Rather than presuming a drought of female agency between the first and second waves of American feminism, it reveals the subtle messages about women’s empowerment that flooded the marketplace.

Twentieth-century composers created thousands of original works for solo percussion and percussion ensemble. Concise and ideal for the classroom, Artful Noise offers an essential and much-needed survey of this unique literature.
Percussionist Thomas Siwe organizes and analyzes the groundbreaking musical literature that arose during the twentieth century. Focusing on innovations in style and the evolution of the percussion ensemble, Siwe offers a historical overview that connects the music to scoring techniques, new instrumentation and evolving technologies as well as world events. Discussions of representative pieces by seminal composers examines the resources a work requires, its construction, and how it relates to other styles that developed during the same period. In addition, Siwe details the form and purpose of many of the compositions while providing background information on noteworthy artists. Each chapter is supported with musical examples and concludes with a short list of related works specifically designed to steer musicians and instructors alike toward profitable explorations of composers, styles, and eras.

Описание: A unique interpretation of Giger's work - essential reading for psychology buffs, visionary art lovers, and admirers of the classic film Alien. This hardcover collector's edition is a stunning compilation of paintings from the late surrealist artist H R Giger, brought together for the first time alongside a revealing essay by transpersonal psychologist and pioneer in consciousness research, Dr. Stanislav Grof. Never before has such a comprehensive display of Giger's work been made available with the psychoanalytic toolkit for interpreting the often claustrophobic and nightmarish images and grasping their profound social and psychological relevance. "I had always admired H R Giger deeply, not only as an artistic genius, but also as a visionary with an uncanny ability to depict the deep, dark recesses of the human psyche revealed by modern consciousness research." Stanislav Grof H R Giger's lifelong struggle with haunting biomechanoid visions takes on new meaning once seen through the lens of Dr. Grof's revolutionary theory of 'Basic Perinatal Matricies.' By understanding the essential characteristics of the four stages of imprinting from birth trauma and their effects on the human psyche as mapped out by Grof, the reader discovers a remarkable synergy bridging the innermost traces of our being with outward social relevance. With a foreword by art historian Claudia M ller-Ebeling, H R Giger and the Zeitgeist of the Twentieth Century contains rare images of Giger's early work, reflecting his personal journey through art.
