A History of Italian Art in 20th Century

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The volume traces a panorama, one never before observed, of the last century of Italian art within a `global` framework, choosing, that is, the most distanced and wide-ranging perspective in order to be the most all-inclusive outsideItaly and outside Europe. Furthermore, the historical line followed is also one of the first for Italian art to take account of the postmodern revolution and to follow every step of the alternating supremacies of modernity and antimodernity in theartistic research from 1900 to 2000. It is therefore shown that Italian art sometimes presents itself as homogeneous with international avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements, sometimes as dishomogeneous, recovering a specificity drawn from itsown prestigious cultural past, with foundations distinct from its historical present.

A History of Japan, 1582-1941 : Internal and External Worlds

1905 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDistinctive overview of the internal and external pressures responsible for the emergence of modern Japan.Download DescriptionThis book offers a distinctive overview of the internal and external pressures responsible for the making of modern Japan. Louis Cullen rejects western historiography which, he argues, is based on a reluctance to accept that an eastern country could equal the west. Instead he shows that this was not a country in progressive economic and social crisis before 1868 but a highly-developed economy led by highly-rational policymakers. He shows how when an external threat emerged after 1793 the country became on balance more open rather than more oppressive and that Japan displayed remarkable success in negotiation with the western powers in 1853-68 and realism in relations with them thereafter. In the twentieth century, however, armed forces imperfectly controlled by the 1889 constitution and alarm at encroaching western and American interests in Asia… [detailed...]

A History of Modern Computing (History of Computing)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This engaging history covers modern computing from the development of the first electronic digital computer through the dot-com crash. The author concentrates on five key moments of transition: the transformation of the computer in the late 1940s from a specialized scientific instrument to a commercial product, the emergence of small systems in the late 1960s, the beginning of personal computing in the 1970s, the spread of networking after 1985, and, in a chapter written for this edition, the period 1995-2001. The new material focuses on the Microsoft antitrust suit, the rise and fall of the dot-coms, and the advent of open source software, particularly Linux. Within the chronological narrative, the book traces several overlapping threads: the evolution of the computer`s internal design, the effect of economic trends and the Cold War, the long-term role of IBM as a player and as a target for upstart entrepreneurs, the growth of software from a hidden element to a major… [detailed...]

David Perkins
A History of Modern Poetry, Volume II, Modernism and After

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description There have been many books on early modernist poetry, not so many on its various sequels, and still fewer on the currents and cross-currents of poetry since World War II. Until now there has been no single comprehensive history of British and American poetry throughout the half century from the mid-1920s to the recent past. This David Perkins is uniquely equipped to provide, only a critic as well informed as he in the whole range of twentieth-century poetry could offer a lucid, coherent, and structured account of so diverse a body of work. Perkins devotes major discussions to the later careers of the first Modernist poets, such as Eliot, Pound, Stevens, and Williams, and to their immediate followers in the United States, E. E. Cummings, Archibald MacLeish, and Hart Crane, to W. H. Auden, Dylan Thomas, and the period style of the 1930s, to the emergence of the New Criticism and of a poetry reflecting its tenets in… [detailed...]

A History of Old Norse Poetry and Poetics

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis is the first book in English to deal with the twin subjects of Old Norse poetry and the various vernacular treatises on native poetry that were a conspicuous feature of medieval intellectual life in Iceland and the Orkneys from the mid-twelfth to the fourteenth centuries. Its aim is to give a clear description of the rich poetic tradition of early Scandinavia, particularly in Iceland, where it reached its zenith, and to demonstrate the social contexts that favoured poetic composition, from the oral societies of the early Viking Age in Norway and its colonies to the devout compositions of literate Christian clerics in fourteenth-century Iceland. The author analyses the two dominant poetic modes, eddic and skaldic, giving fresh examples of their various styles and subjects, looks at the prose contexts in which most Old Norse poetry has been preserved, and discusses problems of interpretation that arise because of the poetry`s mode of transmission. She is concerned… [detailed...]

Prazmowska explains the roots of Polish Christianity and accounts for its tenacity. She also offers a bold analysis of the origins and background to the development of a deeply patriotic nation, discussing the political and cultural roots of Polish nationalism while at the same time demonstrating why the Polish Question has been an insoluble problem in European politics.

Publisher: —
Description: This is a unique, comprehensive and international history of the post Keynesian approach to economics since 1936. The author locates the origins of post Keynesian economics in the conflicting initial interpretations of Keynes? General Theory and in the complementary work of Michael Kalecki. The book begins by focusing on Cambridge Growth, Distribution and Capital theory and early post Keynesian thought in the US. The failure of post Keynesian theory to supplant the neo-classical paradigm in the 1970s is also discussed, along with an overview of post Keynesian thinking in other countries. The book then deals with the search for coherence between various strands of post Keynesian thought and other schools of economic thought. The author concludes by assessing the progress made by post Keynesian economics since 1936 and considers several possible alternative futures for the post Keynesians. Historians of economic thought as well as post Keynesian and other heterodox… [detailed...]
