S. D. Smith
Slavery, Family, and Gentry Capitalism in the British Atlantic: The World of the Lascelles, 1648-1834 (Cambridge Studies in Economic History - Second Series)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the mid-seventeenth century to the 1830s, successful gentry capitalists created an extensive business empire centered on slavery in the West Indies, but inter-linked with North America, Africa, and Europe. S. D. Smith examines the formation of this British Atlantic World from the perspective of Yorkshire aristocratic families who invested in the West Indies. At the heart of the book lies a case study of the plantation-owning Lascelles and the commercial and cultural network they created with their associates. The Lascelles exhibited high levels of business innovation and were accomplished risk-takers, overcoming daunting obstacles to make fortunes out of the New World. Dr Smith shows how the family raised themselves first to super-merchant status and then to aristocratic pre-eminence. He also explores the tragic consequences for enslaved Africans with chapters devoted to the slave populations and interracial relations. This widely-researched book sheds new light on the networks… [detailed...]

Slavery, Resistance, Freedom

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This extraordinary collection of essays by some of America`s top historians focuses on how African Americans resisted slavery and responded to freedom. Ira Berlin sets the stage by stressing the relationship between how we understand slavery and how we discuss race today. The remaining essays offer a richly textured examination of black struggles for freedom. John Hope Franklin and Loren Schweninger recount actual cases of runaway slaves, their motivations for escape and the strains this widespread phenomenon put on white slave-owners. Edward L. Ayers, William G. Thomas III, and Anne Sarah Rubin draw upon their remarkable Valley of the Shadow website to describe the wartime experiences of African Americans living on both borders of the Mason-Dixon line. And Eric Foner gives us a new look at how black leaders performed during the Reconstruction, revealing that they represented, for a time, the fulfillment of the American ideal that all people could aspire to political office.

Kay Dian Kriz
Slavery, Sugar, and the Culture of Refinement (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This highly original book asks new questions about paintings and prints associated with the British West Indies between 1700 and 1840, when the trade in sugar and slaves was most active and profitable. In a wide-ranging study of scientific illustrations, scenes of daily life, caricatures, and landscape imagery, Kay Dian Kriz analyzes the visual culture of refinement that accompanied the brutal process by which African slaves transformed “rude” sugar cane into pure white crystals. In these works refinement is usually associated with the metropole, and “rudeness” with the colonies. Many artists capitalized on those characteristics of rudeness—animality, sensuality, and savagery—that increasingly became associated with all the island inhabitants. Yet other artists produced works that offered the possibility of colonial refinement, not just economic profit and sexual pleasure, thus complicating perceptions of difference between the two sides of the Atlantic.

Henry T. Bradford
Slaves, Serfs and Wage-Slavery - A Tale of London`s Docklands

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The tidal river Thames is the gateway to London. Before the advent of containerisation it was the greatest and busiest port in the world. In the Port of London men of all skills and abilities worked side by side, though not necessarily in close harmony. This tale, set soon after the Second World War, concerns ex-servicemen who had returned home to share in the `rebuilding of their homeland` after the devastation caused by bombing, to be faced with the economic repression of wages and incomes justified by war debts owed to America and Canada. Work in the docks was hard and dangerous, and demanded long hours over a seven-day week. It was in such an environment that Henry T. Bradford spent thirty-two years of his working life, first as a `Grade A` docker and later, after suffering severe injuries in dock accidents, as a ship`s clerk. This is one of many dockland tales he has recorded for posterity, as a tribute to the men and the debates they dwelt on in yesteryear. Slaves, Serfs… [detailed...]

Slavophiles and Commissars: Enemies of Democracy in Modern Russia

Publisher: The Macmillan Press LTD, St. Martin`s Press
Description: This book examines contemporary Russian nationalism as it reemerged in the wake of Gorbachev`s liberalization. The first part of the book analyzes the ideology of authoritarian nationalism, as it was developed by the conservative intelligentsia. The second section examines its political impact from 1987 to the Presidential elections of 1996. The book argues that the new nationalism provided opponents of reform with an apparently novel justification for their hostility to the liberalization inaugurated by Gorbachev and erratically pursued by Yeltsin.

Description: Sleep dysfunction is one of the primary symptoms reported by patients with psychiatric disorders, and specifically those suffering from anxiety and depressive disorders. Conversely, primary insomnia and other sleep disorders produce symptoms of mood disturbance that are quite similar to those reported by patients with psychiatric disorders. Because of this overlap in the symptoms and treatments for insomnias and psychiatric disorders, it is important for clinicians to be able to accurately identify the root cause of sleep dysfunction in individual patients in order to optimize treatment. Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library series, this concise pocketbook provides clinicians with an overview of current understanding of sleep physiology, the pathophysiology of sleep disturbance, and the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.

Consequently, they present to a wide range of clinicians who require an overview of their diagnosis and treatment. The book is divided into three sections. The first group of chapters consider the fundamentals of sleep, the effects of drugs on sleep and how to assess sleep complaints. The main body of the book consists of chapters on individual sleep disorders. Each ofthese has a structured approach, outlining both assessment and treatment. Insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, awareness during sleep and behavioural abnormalities are covered. The final chapters deal with the important respiratory… [detailed...]

In Gatestown, Texas, twenty-nine-year-old Karen Lowens awaits her execution with a host of convicted serial killers on death row. In Manhattan, Dr. Franny Wren, also twenty-nine, tends to a young cancer patient, and resists the urge to run from her fiancA© and her carefully crafted life.
