A Sixth Sense

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: HENRI-GEORGES DOLL was a true pioneer of modern applied science - one of the great, but little known French and American inventors of the 20th century. A Sixth Sense is the first biography of a man who became a founder of oilfield giant Schlumberger, and blazed a trail during the golden age of oil exploration for much of what we know today about remote sensing. From the Introduction ON MARCH 18, 1940, FRENCH ARMY LIEUTENANT HENRI-GEORGES DOLL came to the United States Embassy in Paris to give a deposition. Europe was at war: In September 1939, Germany had invaded Poland. England and France had declared war on Germany, while the United States and Italy remained neutral. Doll, a geophysicist and engineer, had been mobilized to the front. But he was quickly recalled to Paris to work on a radical new device for detecting the German land mines that French intelligence had learned were being deployed on a vast scale. Doll`s deposition, however, had nothing to do with the… [detailed...]

A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake: Unlocking James Joyce`s Masterwork

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of Finnegans Wake - James Joyce`s masterwork, which consumed a third of his life - have given up after a few pages, dismissing it as a `perverse triumph of the unintelligible.` In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first `key` or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of Finnegans Wake. The authors break down Joyce`s `unintelligible` book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary. They outline the book`s basic action, and then simplify ? and clarify ? its complex web of images and allusions. A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake is the latest addition to the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series. [detailed...]

Анна Политковская
A Small Corner of Hell: Dispatches from Chechnya

2003 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: The murder of Anna Politkovskaya in Russia is grim evidence of the danger faced by journalists passionately committed to writing the truth about wars and politics. A longtime critic of the Russian government, particularly with regard to its policies in Chechnya, Politkovskaya was a special correspondent for the liberal Moscow newspaper Novaya gazeta. In `A Small Corner of Hell`, Politkovskaya offers an insider`s view on those caught in the crossfire of conflict. She recounts the everyday horrors of living in the midst of war, examines how the Chechen war has damaged Russian society, and takes a hard look at the ways people on both sides profited from it. `A Small Corner of Hell` ensures that despite Politkovskaya`s tragic death her words will not be erased.

Description: A Small Matter of Programming asks why it has been so difficult for end users to command programming power and explores the problems of end user-driven application development that must be solved to afford end users greater computational power.

A Social History of English Rugby Union: Sport and the Making of the Middle Classes

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the myth of William Webb Ellis to the glory of the 2003 World Cup win, this book explores the social history of rugby union in England. Ever since Tom Brown`s `Schooldays` the sport has seen itself as the guardian of traditional English middle-class values. In this fascinating new history, leading rugby historian Tony Collins demonstrates how these values have shaped the English game, from the public schools to mass spectator sport, from strict amateurism to global professionalism. Based on unprecedented access to the official archives of the Rugby Football Union, and drawing on an impressive array of sources from club minutes to personal memoirs and contemporary literature, the book explores in vivid detail the key events, personalities and players that have made English rugby.From an era of rapid growth at the end of the nineteenth century, through the terrible losses suffered during the First World War and the subsequent `rush to rugby` in the public and grammar schools, and… [detailed...]

A Social History of Soviet Trade: Trade Policy, Retail Practices, and Consumption, 1917-1953

2004 y.
Publisher: Princeton University Press
Description: In this sweeping study, Julie Hessler traces the invention and evolution of socialist trade, the progressive constriction of private trade, and the development of consumer habits from the 1917 revolution to Stalin`s death in 1953. The book places trade and consumption in the context of debilitating economic crises. Although Soviet leaders, and above all, Stalin, identified socialism with the modernization of retailing and the elimination of most private transactions, these goals conflicted with the economic dynamics that produced shortages and with the government`s bureaucratic, repressive, and socially discriminatory political culture. A Social History of Soviet Trade explores the relationship of trade--official and unofficial--to the cyclicalpattern of crisis and normalization that resulted from these tensions. It also provides a singularly detailed look at private shops during the years of the New Economic Policy, and at the remnants of private trade, mostly concentrated… [detailed...]

A Sociology of Spirituality

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate Pub Co
Description: The emergence of spirituality in contemporary culture in holistic forms suggests that organised religions have failed. This thesis is explored and disputed in this book in ways that mark important critical divisions. This is the first collection of essays to assess the significance of spirituality in the sociology of religion. The authors explore the relationship of spirituality to the visual, individualism, gender, identity politics, education and cultural capital. The relationship between secularisation and spirituality is examined and consideration is given to the significance of Simmel in relation to a sociology of spirituality. Problems of defining spirituality debated, with considerations of its expression in the U.K., the U.S.A., France and Holland. This timely, original and well structured volume provides undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers with a scholarly appraisal of a phenomenon that can only increase in sociological significance.

Description: Book DescriptionA comprehensive, introductory overview of the `world of work` in Japan.Download DescriptionWhat shapes the decisions of employees in Japan? The authors of this comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the relationship between work and society in Japan argue that individual decisions about work can only be understood through the broader social context. Many factors combine to affect such choices including the structuring of labour markets, social policy and, of course, global influences which have come increasingly to impinge on the organisation of work and life generally. By considering labour markets, social policy and relationships between labour and management, the book offers penetrating insights into contemporary Japanese society and glimpses of what might come in the future. Underlying the discussion is a challenge to the celebration of Japanese management practices which has dominated the literature for the last three decades. This is an important and… [detailed...]
