Описание: This book explores the practical and symbolic resources of legitimacy which the elites of medieval Scandinavia employed to establish, justify, and reproduce their social and political standing between the end of the Viking Age and the rise of kingdoms in the thirteenth century. Geographically the chapters cover the Scandinavian realms and Free State Iceland. Thematically the authors cover a wide palette of cultural practices and historical sources: hagiography, historiography, spaces and palaces, literature, and international connections, which rulers, magnates or ecclesiastics used to compete for status and to reserve haloing glory for themselves. The volume is divided in three sections. The first looks at the sacral, legal, and acclamatory means through which privilege was conferred onto kings and ruling families. Section Two explores the spaces such as aristocratic halls, palaces, churches in which the social elevation of elites took place. Section Three explores the traditional and novel means of domestic distinction and international cultural capital which different orders of elites – knights, powerful clerics, ruling families etc. – wrought to assure their dominance and set themselves apart vis-?-vis their peers and subjects. A concluding chapter discusses how the use of symbolic capital in the North compared to wider European contexts.

Описание: "Dit boek is een vervolg op Grepen uit de Geschiedenis van de Automatisering dat in 1992en in 1995 is uitgebracht en na te zijn uitverkocht niet meer is verschenen. In 2017 hebik besloten om deze geschiedenis, mede op verzoek van anderen, een vervolg te gevenen wel onder dezelfde titel. Tegelijkertijd zijn in de oorspronkelijke tekst aanpassingenen aanvullingen gedaan, waar dat nodig was. Het Woord vooraf van de oorspronkelijkeuitgave startte met het volgende.De komst van de eerste computers luidde het begin in van de moderne geschiedenisvan de automatisering; een geschiedenis die al weer enige decennia van de twintigsteen eenentwintigste eeuw bestrijkt. Maar daarbij dient wel te worden bedacht dat er ookeen oude geschiedenis van de automatisering is, die teruggaat tot de Middeleeuwen enzelfs ver daarvoor. Omdat de mens altijd getracht heeft het rekenen en het beheer vanverzamelingen te ondersteunen met technische hulpmiddelen, zijn door de eeuwenheen talrijke, vaak heel ingenieuze hulpmiddelen bedacht. De wens steeds nauwkeurigernatuurkundige en boekhoudkundige aspecten te kunnen beschrijven en het menselijkvernuft hebben ertoe geleid dat steeds beter toepasbare methoden en techniekenzijn gerealiseerd. Uitgedrukt in tijd bestrijkt de oude geschiedenis een periode die velemalen langer heeft geduurd dan de periode waarin de moderne computer zich wist teontwikkelen. Die lange periode kenmerkt zich door vele uitermate boeiende ontwikkelingendie in veel gevallen als voorlopers zijn te beschouwen van de denkwijzen entechnische producten van dit moment. Om die reden wordt in dit boek met betrekkingtot het begrip automatisering geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen de periode waarin hetbegrip `automatisering` gemeengoed is geworden en de periode waarin men anderetermen gebruikte bij het ontwikkelen en toepassen van allerhande middelen. Deze benaderingis min of meer te vergelijken met de Engelse aanduiding history of computing dat alles op rekengebied en bijbehorende hulpmiddelen omvat.Over die lange automatiseringsperiode zijn inmiddels vele boeken en artikelen verschenen.Toch blijft veel van het beschrevene min of meer verborgen, zeker in Nederland.Het beperkt zich meestal tot een aantal vaak herhaalde hoofdlijnen waarin steeds weerdezelfde personen en dezelfde apparaten worden genoemd. Kennelijk is het niet zoeenvoudig om tot de omvangrijke buitenlandse literatuur door te dringen om een watbreder beeld te krijgen. Tot de onmogelijkheden behoort dat zeker niet. Wel zal mendan niet zelden met veel technische details worden geconfronteerd die niet altijd evengemakkelijk te begrijpen zijn."

Описание:

This is a much enlarged edition - with 4 further essays and a new introduction added - of Professor Rubinstein's influential study of the evolution and composition of Britain's elites since 1750.

The author is the leading historian who has reshaped our knowledge of the top strata of British society. He shows the key importance of London and of the relative insignificance of the manufacturing and heavy industries of the North of England for Britain's elite of wealth and power.

He focuses on the development of Britain's wealth and elite structures since industrialisation. The work is based on intense and original pioneering research into individual wealth-holders and elite members.

The essays include three which discuss 'survivals' in modern British history, patterns and movements which historians have overlooked because they 'shouldn't be there'.

A substantial new introduction reviews the recent historiography of the subject, and brings up-to-date earlier material.

Contents: New introduction; list of tables; Wealth: The Victorian Middle Classes: Wealth, Occupation and Geography; Wealth, Elites and the Class Structure of Modern Britain; The Geographical Distribution of Middle-class Income in Britain, 1800-1914; Entrepreneurial Effort and Entrepreneurial Success: Peak Wealth-holding in Three Societies, 1850-1939. Elites: New Men of Wealth and the Purchase of Land in Nineteenth-Century Britain; Education and the Social Origins of British Elites, 1880-1970; The Evolution of the British Honours System Since the Mid-Nineteenth Century; Survivals: The End of 'Old Corruption' in Britain, 1780-1860; Charles Dickens, R. Austin Freeman and the Spirit of London; British Radicalism and the 'Dark Side' of Populism.

Additional essays: The Social Origins and Career Patterns of Oxford and Cambridge Matriculants, 1840- 1900; The Size and Distribution of the English Middle Classes in 1860; Businessmen Into Landowners: The Question Revisited; The Secret of Leopold Amery.

Описание: This book explores the changing nature of social movements and economic elites in post-Second World War Europe. In the years following 1945, Europe faced diverse challenges connected by the overriding question of how the reconstruction of the continent should proceed. For the Central Powers, the implementation lay in the hands of the Allied occupying forces who organised the process of denazification and the establishment of a new economic order. In countries without military occupation, there was a deep gap between the new governmental forces and the former collaborators. In both cases, social movements which were formed by anti-fascists on the left of the political spectrum assumed the task of social reorganisation. The chapters in this book explore the discourses about economic systems and their elites which moved to the fore across a range of European countries, uncovering who was involved, what resistance these social movements faced and how these ultimately failed in the West to bring about change, while in Eastern Europe Stalinism forcibly imposed change.

Описание:

This book gives explanations for the growing gap in wealth and income and the rise of anti-democratic movements. The power of the elites today is supposedly founded on merit (education, intelligence etc.), but a closer look shows that a well-marked-out pool is just self-re-producing. The power these in-groups wield often leads to moral insensibility, made worse by a condescending attitude towards people further down the food chain. The pre-dominance of the model of the nation-state, with its centralism and top-down structure, is one of the roots of this problem, as is the lack of comparisons and value judgements; examples from transport and urbanism show that they are possible. The deplorable situation is made worse by the “anti-“social-media scuppering open and productive discussions.

Описание: Modern Mexico derives many symbols of identity and heritage from its Aztec legacy. This book demonstrates that such emotional links to the native past originated in part among colonial-era indigenous leaders who adapted ancestral memories following the Spanish conquest, eventually enabling American-born Spaniards to likewise identify with this ancient legacy.

Eminence: meaning, Distinction, -renowned, - Importance, - Reputation. What makes Men and women pioneers of yesteryear and today?

These are stories with impact. Every story is of a person, place or event that, in some way, had an impact on America.

One can only imagine traveling in heavy dust all day or ankle deep mud, crossing a raging river, many had quick sand areas, going down a steep hill getting turned sideways and your wagon rolling, getting caught in an Indian raid, witnessing deaths and having no time to morn them, traveling with wagon trains consisting of over one thousand people and fifteen to twenty miles long, on the westward journey. By reading the few true diary's written, in A Woman's Journey West, it may help you understand.

Excerpt: "I lost my wife and daughter while giving birth but was only afforded one hour to bury them beside the trail as the wagon master could not stop the train for such events".

Women Made America, stories of the vital roll women played in the development of America and their diaries, cherished today by their owners, entered as written.

What was it like to oversee a "Bull Outfit" (freighting train) consisting of twenty-five wagons to one-hundred, each pulled by a team of twelve horses or mules, pulling wagons that weighed five thousand pounds loaded?

What was it really like to travel at two-miles-per-hour in dust so thick that it could be seen for over twenty miles away?

After walking all day and stopping at dusk, erecting the tents, hobbling the riding horses, chaining all the wagon wheels together in the large circular enclosure, starting cooking fires, cooking food for the over one thousand, tending the young and sick, making the beds, cleaning the evening dishes, the men, in groups of ten to fifteen, taking three hour shifts throughout the night standing guard,

Every morning getting up before dawn, herding the hundreds of livestock to the closest water and if none close, hand watering them, doing all the same chores, only in reverse, because at sunrise the wagons were rolling west, with or without you.

Early First Americans, their life style, food, and travel as told in the story of M -H t -S k- (Cheyenne for black dog).

Medical remedies and recipes from the middle 1800s, used by wagon trains and on cattle drives.

Excerpt: "When Miss Sukovaty was a small girl, when this part of the country was all open-range, she would spend the summer months herding cattle. She did all the herding by foot and explained that shoes were somewhat a luxury at this time and only worn on dress up occasions, so all her herding was done barefoot. She spoke of how the cattle would wander for miles, but they all had to be rounded up and brought home at night."

Eighty-two years of events, during the Industrial Revelation and beyond, to the space age.

What was it like to hear your first radio?
What was it like to see your first automobile?
What was it like to see your first airplane?
What was it like to see First Americans become citizens of their own nation?
What was it like to read the headlines telling of the gunfight at the OK corral?
What was it like to be one of the first generation to taste Coca Cola?
What was it like to be the first human in space?
What was it like?
