The Swifts: Printers in the Age of Typesetting Races

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: On a December day in 1885, Bill Barnes, a journeyman from the New York World, and Joe McCann, representing the New York Herald, faced off in a match race of Swifts, compositors who set type by hand, individually, letter by letter, with incredible accuracy and speed. McCann got off to a slow start, but at the end of the four-hour race, he joined shopfloor legends Clinton `The Kid` DeJarnatt and the `Velocipede` George Arensberg as a working-class hero. It was not the last race of its kind between Swifts, but already looming were changes both social and technological that would cause these gifted tramp printers to disappear. In The Swifts, Walker Rumble, himself a printer and printing historian, follows the trail of these colorful compositors who became famous by winning typesetting races. Tellingly, at the same time that the most celebrated contests were taking place, technological and cultural forces were threatening the Swifts` way of life. First women printers vied for shopfloor… [detailed...]

On one side is the Land of Good and Happiness, whose citizens know how to live life happily, on the other side, the Land of Evil and Woe, where a benighted people wallows in ignorance, unaware thatit might greatly benefit from the enlightened civilization on the other side. One day a courageous swimmer from the Land of Good and Happiness embarks upon a dangerous journey to stretch a rope across the river to give the people on the other side a way out of their moral chaos and misery.

The Swordless Samurai: Leadership Wisdom of Japan`s Sixteenth-Century Legend---Toyotomi Hideyoshi

Description: Japan, during most of its history, has been ruled by its all-powerful Emperors. But in the 16th century—called by the Japanese the Age of Warring Clans—regional potentates were endlessly fighting one another with their small armies of samurai warriors. Hideyoshi, who called himself the Swordless Samurai, is the Japanese Horatio Alger. He worked his way up the ladder of strong class boundaries despite having none of the advantages. He was of peasant origin, but by bonding to powerful Lord Nobunaga, and by being useful to him day and night, Hideyoshi secured a powerful patron. Much later, Hideyoshi broke all class barriers and ultimately became the most powerful man in Japan. In this book he tells how he did it.Hideyoshi has long been immortalized—so much so that every schoolboy in Japan is taught the moral that good judgment, keen intelligence, and sharp wits will win out over your adversaries almost every time.Hideyoshi’s Leadership and Success precepts, more than 50 of them, are… [detailed...]

The Syllable in Speech Production: Perspectives on the Frame Content Theory

Publisher: Taylor &, Francis
Description: As a testament to the scope of Peter MacNeilage`s scholarly work across his 40 year career, contributions to this tribute volume represent a broad spectrum of the seminal issues addressed by phonetic and evolutionary science over a number of years. Approaches to the problems raised by attempting to understand these fundamental topics are illustrated in the broad diversity of paradigms represented in the volume. This diversity in itself is a tribute to the breadth of scholarly questions pursued by MacNeilage across his career. Chapters are arranged around five thematic areas. Two themes, `Evolutionary Perspectives on Speech Production and Acquisition of Speech`, reflect the major thrust of Peter`s scholarly career over the past 25 years. The other themes are reflective of the broad implications of MacNeilage`s work for scholars in disparate scientific domains. One of the strengths of this volume is the unitary focus of contributions by scientists from diverse scientific… [detailed...]

The Symbiotic Habit

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Throughout the natural world, organisms have responded to predators, inadequate resources, or inclement conditions by forming ongoing mutually beneficial partnerships--or symbioses--with different species. Symbiosis is the foundation for major evolutionary events, such as the emergence of eukaryotes and plant eating among vertebrates, and is also a crucial factor in shaping many ecological communities. The Symbiotic Habit provides an accessible and authoritative introduction to symbiosis, describing how symbioses are established, function, and persist in evolutionary and ecological time. Angela Douglas explains the evolutionary origins and development of symbiosis, and illustrates the principles of symbiosis using a variety of examples of symbiotic relationships as well as nonsymbiotic ones, such as parasitic or fleeting mutualistic associations. Although the reciprocal exchange of benefit is the key feature of symbioses, the benefits are often costly to provide, causing conflict… [detailed...]

The Syntax of Class : Writing Inequality in Nineteenth-Century America

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Syntax of Class explores the literary expression of the crisis of social classification that occupied U.S. public discourse in the wake of the European revolutions of 1848. Lacking a native language for expressing class differences, American writers struggled to find social taxonomies able to capture--and manage--increasingly apparent inequalities of wealth and power. As new social types emerged at midcentury and, with them, new narratives of success and failure, police and reformers alarmed the public with stories of the rise and proliferation of the `dangerous classes.` At the same time, novelists as different as Maria Cummins, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Frank Webb, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, and Horatio Alger Jr. focused their attention on dense engagements across the lines of class. Turning to the middle-class idea of `home` as a figure for social harmony and to the lexicons of race and gender in their effort to devise a syntax for the representation of… [detailed...]
