Описание: This collection of primary documents establishes a comprehensive series of despatches, in the main from the British Consul in Shanghai to the British Ambassador to China, based usually in Peking, but in the 1930s based in Shanghai itself. There is regular information on the government of the Settlement, and reports on the opium trade; there are extended reports, in 1856, on the continuing Taiping Rebellion, and later, reports on the Sino-Japanese War over the control of Korea. From 1901–11 reports include: the Boxer Rebellion; commentary on the French Settlement; anti-government conspirators in Shanghai; the Russo-Japanese War; the Shanghai tramway system; the bubonic plague in Shanghai; the Chinese Revolution of 1911–12; British intelligence reports on German activities, 1914–18; and in the mid-1920s, telegrams reflect the impact of the Civil War in China, and report 'the Shanghai incident'. The collection ends with the winding up of the Settlement under wartime Japanese occupation.

Автор: Rowlinson Название: Sir James Dewar, 1842–1923 ISBN: 1138109312 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138109315 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 47970.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Sir James Dewar was a major figure in British chemistry for around 40 years. He held the posts of Jacksonian Professor of Natural Philosophy at Cambridge (1875-1923) and Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution (1877-1923) and is remembered principally for his efforts to liquefy hydrogen successfully in the field that would come to be known as cryogenics. His experiments in this field led him to develop the vacuum flask, now more commonly known as the thermos, and in 1898 he was the first person to successfully liquefy hydrogen. A man of many interests, he was also, with Frederick Abel, the inventor of explosive cordite, an achievement that involved him in a major legal battle with Alfred Nobel. Indeed, Dewar's career saw him involved in a number of public quarrels with fellow scientists; he was a fierce and sometimes unscrupulous defender of his rights and his claims to priority in a way that throws much light on the scientific spirit and practice of his day. This, the first scholarly biography of Dewar, seeks to resurrect and reinterpret a man who was a giant of his time, but is now sadly overlooked. In so doing, the book will shed much new light on the scientific culture of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries and the development of the field of chemistry in Britain.
Автор: Smits Thomas Название: The European Illustrated Press and the Emergence of a Transnational Visual Culture of the News, 1842-1870 ISBN: 1032083018 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781032083018 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 43890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In 19th century Europe, illustrated newspapers allowed consumers a shared, transnational experience. Arguing against the assumption that such publications may have emerged merely to support a national imagined community, this monograph uncovers the roots of a global visual news culture fostered by illustrated news from the 19th century.
"This book provides a deep reading of Nikolai Karazin's works and his relationship with Central Asia. Elena Andreeva shows how Karazin's prolific creations have much to tell us about Russian imperialism, colonial and local society as well as Russians' self-identity as colonizers and Europeans. The work offers an original contribution to the scholarship on Russian imperial history and that of Central Asia, and Russian literary history also. Karazin's importance--at the time and now--is appropriately highlighted."
- Jeff Sahadeo, Associate Professor, Carleton University, Canada
"Elena Andreeva's book resurrects a vital if forgotten figure from the Russian past: Nikolai Karazin, Russia's Kipling, a multifaceted participant in Russian imperial expansion, whose fiction, journalism, ethnography and visual representations may well have done more than any agent of the Russian state to represent and popularize Russia's conquest of Central Asia to a newly literate Russian public beyond the educated elites. Archivally based and carefully argued, Andreeva's study of Karazin reveals the absence of any singular logic to Russian imperial expansion. In her analysis Karazin emerges as a vernacular enthusiast of empire who was able to reconcile a skeptical attitude towards tsarist autocracy with an idealized view of Russia's 'civilizing' mission in the East."
- Harsha Ram, Associate Professor, University of California, Berkeley, USA
This book is dedicated to the literary and visual images of Central Asia in the works of the popular Russian artist Nikolai Karazin. It analyzes the ways Karazin's discourse inflected, and was inflected by, the expansion of the Russian empire - and therefore sheds light on the place of art and culture in the Russian colonial enterprise. It is the first attempt to interpret Karazin's images of Central Asia within Russian imperial networks and within the maze of the Russian national identity that informed them.

Описание: This book sets out to explain how Shanghai emerged from relative obscurity in 1842 to become one of the worlds best-known finance and industry hubs. As Chinas largest city, Shanghai today plays a central economic role, much as it did in the 1920s. The author provides a concise diachronic survey of the economic history of modern Shanghai, setting out how the citys urban infrastructure, municipal institutions, consumer culture and industry have shaped, and have been shaped by, this economic power house. The work is aimed at a broad readership of all who are interested in Asian history, and tackles a range of themes including: the citys millionaires, then and now; racial tensions and quotidian liaisons between Europeans and Asians before World War II; and the gambling and prostitution industry. The post-war era is portrayed in comparative discussions on Shanghai under Mao Zedong, and during the reform era. These discussions bring the narrative up to date to cover important events such as the designation of the Pudong precinct as the citys new engine of growth in 1991. The citys illustrious pre-war past is compared with its present ambitions to become Asias leading financial centre. The book employs insights from studies frameworks of new institutional economics as well as from the development trajectory of other world cities by way of better understanding Shanghais historic distinctness, its relative weaknesses and contemporary strengths.
