Описание: Should historians make value judgements about the past? Many historians think not, but Donald Bloxham contends that it is legitimate, often unavoidable, and frequently important. History and Morality illuminates how far tacit moral judgements infuse works of history, and how strange those histories would look if the judgements were removed.
Автор: Newman, Professor Richard Название: All the wasted beauty of the world ISBN: 1927409314 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781927409312 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 18350.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Poetry. ALL THE WASTED BEAUTY OF THE WORLD, a finalist for the 2012 Able Muse Book Award, extols the beautiful as readily as it expounds on the blemished. The reasoned commingles with the rambunctious, as in the case of the speaker who declares that our lives span diaper to diaper, / and in between we piss on anyone / we can. Little escapes notice in these poems of gutsy realism and formal deftness, which freely highlight the fringes of society--the speaker in Bellefontaine Cemetery exhorts teens to party on people's graves and have a few close shaves with county sheriffs, the carcass of a Ford truck intrudes on a hiking trail's gully, the homeless are lullabied to find rest behind our dumpster / . . . score a fifth of bourbon / and find your stomach full. Richard Newman brings us a collection that prods and soars with the grit and beauty of the real world.
Richard Newman's ALL THE WASTED BEAUTY OF THE WORLD is masterful and magnetic, from the 'galaxy of gnats' hovering in the St. Louis twilight to the way a backwoods junkyard 'gnaws on a pile of old Ford bones.' He sees a group of bored high school kids with 'nothing to lose / but stupid summer jobs and innocence, ' and captures with perfect acuity how 'September rain in streetlight / silvers the cypress needles, scatters new dimes / among the nuisance alley mulberry trees.' Newman's poems, with their formal, lapidary precision, their indelible portraits of life in the cheap bars, back alleys, and rough-hewn edges of the Midwest, surprise a hunger in us for a language larger, wilder, and unabashedly loftier than daily speech.--George Bilgere
The poems in Richard Newman's remarkable third collection, ALL THE WASTED BEAUTY OF THE WORLD, are heady explorers. They roam from Lost Man Pass to Benton Park, from downtown St. Louis to Southern Indiana, all the while balancing gorgeous musicality with lyric originality. In the midst of the wandering, there is longing in these poems--for place, for order, for morning. There is urgency, too, and beauty, wasted and otherwise, in places we don't always expect it. Newman is a bold and masterful formalist in a free-verse world, and he uses sonnets, aubades, villanelles, and odes to reconcile the geographies of the interior and exterior. Again and again, this collection makes us recalibrate our true north and forces us to reconsider the world for all of the unpredictable places where we can find beauty.--Adrian Matejka
Newman uses the power of recollection and imagery to craft odes, sonnets, villanelles, ballads, and free verse with titles like 'Four Kids Pissing off the Overpass after a Cardinals Game.' Each poem calls our attention to a rough-and-tumble, everyday America we often drive past but overlook. ALL THE WASTED BEAUTY OF THE WORLD returns us to the real and, consequently, the new by putting on the brakes and asking us to look, if only briefly, beyond our rear- views.--Dorianne Laux

Описание: The world often misunderstands its greatest men while neglecting others entirely. Scipio Africanus, surely the greatest general that Rome produced, suffered both these fates. Today scholars celebrate the importance of Hannibal, even though Scipio defeated the legendary general in the Second Punic War and was the central military figure of his time.

Over the past thirty years social scientists and particularly social historians have stressed the need to take popular protest seriously. The corollary of this, the need to take the policing of protest seriously, seems to have been less well acknowledged. The aim of this volume is to redress this situation by probing, in depth, a limited number of incidents of public disorder and focusing particularly on the role of the police. In doing so, this collection will draw out general patterns of police provocation and public responses and suggest general hypotheses. The incidents explored range across Europe and the United States, involve different kinds of political regime, and are drawn from both the interwar and the postwar years. They pose important questions about the effects of riot training and specialist equipment for the police, about the reality and roles of "agitators" and of "rotten apples" amongst the police, and about the role of the media and the courts in fostering certain kinds of undesirable and counterproductive police behavior.

Representing the summation of Richard Maltby`s four decades of scholarship in the field, it uses a series of case studies to demonstrate how an appreciation of these movies is enhanced by examining the circumstances of their production and consumption.

Kurt G del (1906-1978) was born in Austria-Hungary (now the Czech Republic) and grew up in an ethnic German family. As a student, he excelled in languages and mathematics, mastering university-level math while still in high school. He received his doctorate from the University of Vienna at the age of 24 and, a year later, published the pioneering theorems on which his fame rests. In 1939, with the rise of Nazism, G del and his wife settled in the U.S., where he continued his groundbreaking work at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton and became a close friend of Albert Einstein's.
In Simply G del, Richard Tieszen traces G del's life and career, from his early years in tumultuous, culturally rich Vienna to his many brilliant achievements as a member of IAS, as well as his repeated battles with mental illness. In discussing G del's ideas, Tieszen not only provides an accessible explanation of the incompleteness theorems, but explores some of his lesser known writings, including his thoughts on time travel and his proof of the existence of God.
With clarity and sympathy, Simply G del brings to life G del's fascinating personal and intellectual journey and conveys the lasting impact of his work on our modern world.
