Rather than focusing on the outcomes or conditions of development, the contributors concentrate on the quality of development processes, suggesting that a common good dynamic is key in order to trigger development.Resulting from more than three years of research by an international group of over fifty scholars, the volume advocates for a modern understanding of the common good—rather than a theological or metaphysical good—in societies by emphasising the social practice of ‘commoning’ at its core. It suggests that the dynamic equilibrium of common goods in a society should be at the centre of development efforts. For this purpose, it develops a matrix of common good dynamics, accounting for how institutions, social norms and common practices interconnect by identifying five key drivers not only of development, but human development (agency, governance, justice, stability, humanity). Based on this matrix, the contributors suggest a possible metric for measuring the quality of these dynamics. The last section of the book highlights the possibilities enabled by this approach through a series of case studies.The concept of the common good has recently enjoyed a revival and inspired practitioners keen to look beyond the shortcomings of political and economic liberalism. This book builds on those efforts to think beyond the agenda of twentieth-century development policies, and will be of interest to those working in the fields of development, economics, sociology, philosophy and political science. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0290_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800644045 06 15 9781800644052 06 15 9781800644069 06 15 9781800646742 06 15 9781800644090 06 15 9781800644076 06 15 9781800644083 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0290 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0290.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:5fb9a23a-bf8e-4527-9c9c-3786b7219285 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5fb9a23a-bf8e-4527-9c9c-3786b7219285 15 9781800647305 06 10.11647/obp.0300 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 A Complete Guide to Maggot Therapy Clinical Practice, Therapeutic Principles, Production, Distribution, and Ethics 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9158-2792 Frank Stadler 01 eng 00 468 03 20 maggot therapy 12 MB 10 MED000000 04 TP248.27.I56 20 clinical practice 12 MBNH 10 MED022000 12 MBN 10 MED050000 20 supply chain management 12 MMZ 20 social dimensions 20 principles of therapeutic action 20 medicinal maggot production 20 distribution logistics 20 ethical dimensions 01 06 03 00 Since the revival of maggot therapy in Western wound care approximately thirty years ago, there has been no comprehensive synthesis of what is known about its clinical practice, supply chain management, and social dimensions. This edited volume fills the information vacuum and, importantly, makes the current state of knowledge freely accessible. It is the first to provide sound, evidence-based information and guidance covering the entire supply chain from production to treatment.The chapters are arranged in five parts presenting the latest on clinical practice, the principles of therapeutic action, medicinal maggot production, distribution logistics, and the ethical dimensions of maggot therapy. The contributors have paid particular attention to the challenges encountered in compromised, low-resource healthcare settings such as disasters, conflict, and poverty.There are still many barriers to the widespread uptake of maggot therapy in healthcare settings. This book will be essential reading for a global audience of doctors, nurses, allied healthcare providers, students, and entrepreneurs with an interest in maggot-assisted wound care. It will be the go-to reference for those who plan, regulate, and coordinate healthcare, and want to establish a maggot therapy program, particularly in low- and middle-income and other compromised healthcare settings where maggot therapy can provide much-needed, affordable, and efficacious wound care. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0300_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Griffith University 01 programname School of Medicine and Dentistry 16 BioTherapeutics, Education & Research (BTER) Foundation 01 programname School of Medicine and Dentistry Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647282 06 15 9781800647299 06 15 9781800647305 06 15 9781800647343 06 15 9781800647336 06 15 9781800647312 06 15 9781800647329 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0300.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0300 99 04 urn:uuid:96d7f2cc-d864-4363-8caa-abd2c74fe35d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:96d7f2cc-d864-4363-8caa-abd2c74fe35d 15 9781805112082 06 10.11647/OBP.0387 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 A Country of Shepherds Cultural Stories of a Changing Mediterranean Landscape 1 A01 Kathleen Ann Myers 2 Z01 Grady C.

Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with regional and European communities and policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and sustainability. A Country of Shepherds is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the Spanish government’s recent work with UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the Iberian Peninsula as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Demonstrating the critical role of tradition, cultural geographies, and sustainability in the Mediterranean, this book will appeal to academicians but also to general readers who seek to understand, in very human terms, the impact of the world-wide environmental crisis we are now experiencing. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0387_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Indiana University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112068 06 15 9781805112075 06 15 9781805112082 06 15 9781805112112 06 15 9781805112099 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0387 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0387.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:fdeb2a1b-af39-4165-889d-cc7a5a31d5fa 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fdeb2a1b-af39-4165-889d-cc7a5a31d5fa 15 9781800640375 06 10.11647/OBP.0226 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Acoustemologies in Contact Sounding Subjects and Modes of Listening in Early Modernity 1 B01 Emily Wilbourne 2 B01 Suzanne G.

They examine how cultural configurations of sound impacted communication, comprehension, and the categorisation of people. Addressing questions of identity, difference, sound, and subjectivity in global early modernity, these authors share the conviction that the body itself is the most intimate of contact zones, and that the culturally contingent systems by which sounds made sense could be foreign to early modern listeners and to present day scholars.Drawing on a global range of archival evidence—from New France and New Spain, to the slave ships of the Middle Passage, to China, Europe, and the Mediterranean court environment—this collection challenges the privileged position of European acoustical practices within the discipline of global-historical musicology. The discussion of Black and non-European experiences demonstrates how the production of ‘the canon’ in the cosmopolitan centres of colonial empires was underpinned by processes of human exploitation and extraction of resources. As such, this text is a timely response to calls within the discipline to decolonise music history and to contextualise the canonical works of the European past.This volume is accessible to a wide and interdisciplinary audience, not only within musicology, but also to those interested in early modern global history, sound studies, race, and slavery. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0226_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640351 06 15 9781800640368 06 15 9781800640375 06 15 9781800646315 06 15 9781800640405 06 15 9781800640382 06 15 9781800640399 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0226.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0226 99 04 urn:uuid:ee1ca965-4931-4e27-b070-222870280f45 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ee1ca965-4931-4e27-b070-222870280f45 15 9781805114321 06 10.11647/OBP.0432 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Active Speech Critical Perspectives on Teresa Deevy 1 B01 21 0000-0002-4660-2838 Úna Kealy 2 B01 21 0000-0001-5095-0344 Kate McCarthy 01 eng 00 360 03 93 1DDR 10 LIT013000 20 Teresa Deevy 93 ATD 20 Irish drama, theatre, and performance 10 PER011030 20 Deaf 93 DSG 10 PER003100 20 Deafened 93 DNBF 10 SOC032000 20 Archive 10 BIO022000 20 Twentieth-century Ireland 01 06 03 00 'Active Speech' is a groundbreaking collection of scholarly essays and practitioner interviews focused on the work of Irish playwright Teresa Deevy. Acts of recovery in the 1980s and 1990s challenged Deevy’s exclusion from the literary canon, reclaiming her contributions as significant to Irish drama and theatre. The recent resurgence of scholarship and productions evidences that, as a deafened woman and Irish playwright, Deevy’s creative power continues to disrupt and tilt the canon of Irish drama, theatre, and performance.Essays within the collection explore how Deevy’s work interrogates early to mid-twentieth century Irish social norms and ideologies and provide a rich context for understanding her plays. The collection highlights the interdisciplinary nature of research on Deevy and offers insights on her work through archival research, literary analysis, and practitioner perspectives from Deaf and hearing theatremakers.One of the collection's strengths lies in its collaborative and inclusive approach, showcasing diverse methodologies and rigorous scholarship. The chapters on archival research and practitioner perspectives offer compelling models and avenues for future studies. This volume is an essential resource for scholars, educators, and theatremakers alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0432_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114307 06 15 9781805114314 06 15 9781805114321 06 15 9781805114345 06 15 9781805114338 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0432 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0432.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:31aea193-58de-43eb-aadb-23300ba5ee40 03 01 01 urn:uuid:31aea193-58de-43eb-aadb-23300ba5ee40 15 9781783741441 06 10.11647/OBP.0075 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 OBP Series in Mathematics 01 01 Advanced Problems in Mathematics Preparing for University 1 A01 21 0000-0003-0903-7793 Stephen Siklos 01 eng 00 186 03 20 Advanced mathematical problems 10 MAT000000 12 PB 10 MAT030000 20 STEP examinations 12 YQM 10 MAT005000 12 PBK 20 undergraduate mathematics course 20 calculus 10 MAT012000 12 PBM 20 geometry 10 MAT029000 12 PBT 20 probability and statistics 01 06 03 00 This book is intended to help candidates prepare for entrance examinations in mathematics and scientific subjects, including STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper).

A European Public Investment Outlook brings together contributions from a range of international authors from diverse intellectual and professional backgrounds, providing a valuable resource for the policy-making community in Europe to feed their discussion on public investment. The volume both offers sector-specific advice and highlights larger areas which should be prioritized in the policy debate (from transport to social capital, R&D and the environment).The outlook is structured into two parts: the chapters of Part I respectively explore public investment trends in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Europe as a whole, and illuminate how the legacy of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis is one of insufficient public investment. Part II investigates some areas into which resources could be channelled to reverse the recent trend and provide European economies with an adequate public capital stock.The essays in this outlook collectively foster a broad approach to and definition of public investment, that is today more relevant than ever. Offering up a timely and clear case for the elimination of bias against investment in European fiscal rules, this outlook is a welcome contribution to the European debate, aimed both at policy makers and general readers 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0222_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781800640115 06 15 9781800640122 06 15 9781800640139 06 15 9781800646278 06 15 9781800640160 06 15 9781800640146 06 15 9781800640153 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0222.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0222 99 04 urn:uuid:4fdbecb8-d6e5-414f-acf0-2b02266e01a1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4fdbecb8-d6e5-414f-acf0-2b02266e01a1 15 9781805114680 06 10.11647/OBP.0440 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 A Field Guide to Cross-Cultural Research on Childhood Learning Theoretical, Methodological, Practical, and Ethical Considerations for an Interdisciplinary Field 1 B01 21 0000-0002-1250-6418 Sheina Lew-Levy 2 B01 21 0000-0002-1045-2583 Stephen Asatsa 01 eng 00 400 03 20 Cross-cultural childhood learning 93 JMC 10 PSY004000 20 Inclusive developmental research 93 JHMC 10 SOC047000 20 Child development research 10 SOC002010 20 Ethics in childhood research 10 SOC019000 10 EDU037000 20 Global childhood studies 01 06 03 00 This volume addresses the critical gaps in developmental research on childhood learning by advocating for a more inclusive and cross-cultural approach. Recent studies highlight a concerning over-reliance on data from post-industrialized western countries, raising questions about the broader applicability of findings. This book seeks to provide a comprehensive solution, bridging the gap between theory and practice.It offers a unique guide for researchers by combining interdisciplinary perspectives from anthropology, psychology, education, and beyond. With over 60 contributors from 21 countries, the book weaves together diverse cultural insights, challenging the narrow scope of traditional research.

More popular than books, more widely read than the London papers, the local press was a national phenomenon. This book redraws the Victorian cultural map, shifting our focus away from one centre, London, and towards the many centres of the provinces. It offers a new paradigm in which place, and a sense of place, are vital to the histories of the newspaper, reading and publishing.Hobbs offers new perspectives on the nineteenth century from an enormous yet neglected body of literature: the hundreds of local newspapers published and read across England. He reveals the people, processes and networks behind the publishing, maintaining a unique focus on readers and what they did with the local paper as individuals, families and communities. Case studies and an unusual mix of quantitative and qualitative evidence show that the vast majority of readers preferred the local paper, because it was about them and the places they loved.A Fleet Street in Every Town positions the local paper at the centre of debates on Victorian newspapers, periodicals, reading and publishing. It reorientates our view of the Victorian press away from metropolitan high culture and parliamentary politics, and towards the places where most people lived, loved and read. This is an essential book for anybody interested in nineteenth-century print culture, journalism and reading. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0152_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783745593 06 15 9781783745609 06 15 9781783745616 06 15 9781800645714 06 15 9781783746545 06 15 9781783745623 06 15 9781783745630 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0152.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0152 99 04 urn:uuid:570ffdb9-3689-4a11-8249-be669c5b2d61 03 01 01 urn:uuid:570ffdb9-3689-4a11-8249-be669c5b2d61 15 9781805117681 06 10.11647/OBP.0504 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Africa in Russian Imperial Culture Race, Empire, and Representation (1850-1917) 1 A01 Anita Frison 01 eng 00 364 03 04 DK189.2 10 HIS032020 93 NHH 20 Russian Imperial Culture 93 3MN 20 Africa 10 HIS001000 10 HIS054000 20 National identity 93 NHTB 10 HIS035000 93 NHTQ 20 Representation 20 Postcolonial Studies 01 06 03 00 This volume uncovers how Sub-Saharan Africa was imagined in Russian culture from 1850 to 1917. Drawing on travelogues, ethnographic studies, fiction, and museum collections, Anita Frison reveals how Russia—though lacking formal colonies in Africa—nonetheless engaged deeply with Western colonial discourse. Organized around themes of Strangers, Lands, Bodies, Collectors, and Disguises, the book explores how Russians represented African peoples, landscapes, and artifacts to negotiate questions of race, empire, and national identity. Challenging the notion of Russian ‘exceptionalism’, this book demonstrates that imperial attitudes toward Africa often prefigured Soviet anticolonial rhetoric, whilst simultaneously relying on the colonial paradigm. Richly documented and interdisciplinary, this study offers fresh insights for scholars of history, literature, and postcolonial studies, while remaining accessible to curious general readers. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0504_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805117667 06 15 9781805117674 06 15 9781805117681 06 15 9781805117704 06 15 9781805117698 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0504.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0504 99 04 urn:uuid:b8a0df39-4e34-41db-9ae5-6482528df3cd 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b8a0df39-4e34-41db-9ae5-6482528df3cd 15 9781800649149 06 10.11647/OBP.0329 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Applied Theatre Praxis 01 01 After the Miners’ Strike A39 and Cornish Political Theatre versus Thatcher’s Britain: Volume 1 1 A01 Paul Farmer 2 Z01 21 0000-0001-8612-0422 Rebecca Hillman 3 A01 Mark Kilburn 01 eng 00 282 03 20 A39 93 AFKP 12 AN 10 ART060000 04 PN3307.G7 93 AB 12 AFKP 10 ART037000 20 Cornwall 10 HIS015070 93 NHD 20 political theatre 12 WQH 12 1DBKEWC 10 HIS054000 20 miners' strike 93 NHTB 12 J 20 Thatcherism 20 1980s 12 JP 20 1990s 12 JPR 12 1DBKE 20 history 12 HBJ 12 3JJP 01 06 03 00 In this rich memoir, the first of two volumes, Paul Farmer traces the story of A39, the Cornish political theatre group he co-founded and ran from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. Farmer offers a unique insight into A39’s creation, operation, and artistic practice during a period of convulsive political and social change. The reader is plunged into the national miners’ strike and the collapse of Cornish tin mining, the impact of Thatcherism and ‘Reaganomics’, and the experience of touring Germany on the brink of reunification, alongside the influence on A39 of writers Bertolt Brecht, John McGrath and Keith Johnstone. Farmer, a former bus driver turned artistic director, details the theatre group’s inception and development as it fought to break down social barriers, attract audiences, and survive with little more than a beaten-up Renault 12, a photocopier and two second-hand stage lights at its disposal: the book traces the progress from these raw materials to the development of an integrated community theatre practice for Cornwall.Farmer’s candour and humour enliven this unique insight into 1980s theatre and politics. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in theatre history, life in Cornwall, and the relationship between performance and society during a turbulent era. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0329_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649125 06 15 9781800649132 06 15 9781800649149 06 15 9781800649187 06 15 9781800649170 06 15 9781800649156 06 15 9781805118312 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0329.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0329 99 04 urn:uuid:b4e0cf33-734f-454e-aae6-fbb70d3294ac 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b4e0cf33-734f-454e-aae6-fbb70d3294ac 15 9781800643581 06 10.11647/OBP.0281 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 A Short History of Transport in Japan from Ancient Times to the Present 1 A01 John Andrew Black 01 eng 00 322 03 10 BUS032000 04 HE277 20 history 12 KNG 10 HIS021000 20 Japan 12 WG 12 RPT 10 TRA000000 20 transport 12 1FP 20 political economy 10 TRA009000 12 1FPJ 20 New Institutional Economics 20 planning 20 maritime infrastructure 20 roads 20 rail 20 air transport 20 society 20 technology 01 06 03 00 A Short History of Transport in Japan from Ancient Times to the Present is a unique study: the first by a Western scholar to place the long-term development of Japanese infrastructure alongside an analysis of its evolving political economy. Drawing from New Institutional Economics, Black offers an historically informed critique of contemporary planning using the example of Japan’s historical institutions, their particular biases, and the power they have exerted over national and local transport, to identify how reformed institutional arrangements might develop more sustainable and equitable transport services.With chapters addressing each major form of transport, Black examines the predominant role of institutions and individuals – from seventeenth-century shoguns to post-war planners – in transforming Japan’s maritime infrastructure, its roads and waterways, and its adoption of rail and air transport. Using a multidisciplinary, comparative, and chronological approach, the book consults a range of technical, cultural, and political sources to tease out these interactions between society and technology.This spirited new contribution to transport studies will attract readers interested in institutional power, the history of transport, and the development of future infrastructure, as well as those with a general interest in Japan. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0281_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643567 06 15 9781800643574 06 15 9781800643581 06 15 9781800646674 06 15 9781800643611 06 15 9781800643598 06 15 9781800643604 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0281 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0281.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:94ddce11-435d-4f94-a758-f6e3c1cc9783 03 01 01 urn:uuid:94ddce11-435d-4f94-a758-f6e3c1cc9783 15 9781805117735 06 10.11647/OBP.0505 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 A Society of Meta-Organizations 1 A01 21 0000-0001-9652-0841 Héloïse Berkowitz 01 eng 00 160 03 10 BUS085000 04 HS35 93 J 20 Meta-organizations 10 BUS035000 93 JHB 20 Social orders 10 BUS042000 93 JPP 20 Organizational theory 93 RNU 10 SOC026000 20 Sustainability transitions 20 Collective governance 93 JPS 01 06 03 00 Our contemporary societies are made of meta-organizations — organizations composed of other organizations. These range from international bodies like the International Whaling Commission, to national industry or business associations like the crowdfunding association Finance Participative France, to local associations such as fisheries co-management committees in Catalunya. Meta-organizations have become a defining feature of how actors coordinate, govern and make collective decisions. But what exactly makes them distinct, and why do they matter — both in theory and in practice?This book delves into the importance, characteristics and diversity of meta-organizations. It explores four interrelated perspectives: meta-organizations as a widespread, heterogeneous empirical phenomenon in contemporary society, as a conceptual framework that raises specific methodological challenges, as part of a broader theory of decision-based social orders, and ultimately as arenas where hegemonic and counter-hegemonic dynamics may unfold.By bridging theory and practice, this work offers new insights into how meta-organizations operate, how they can be studied and understood, the problems they raise and what they can achieve under certain conditions — making it essential reading for practitioners, students, scholars, and policymakers alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0505_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Aix-Marseille Université 01 projectname Prix de la Recherche en Provence 2023 01 grantnumber ANR-22-CE26-0004 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805117711 06 15 9781805117728 06 15 9781805117735 06 15 9781805117759 06 15 9781805117742 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0505.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0505 99 04 urn:uuid:1e3ef1d6-a460-4b47-8d14-78c3d18e40c1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1e3ef1d6-a460-4b47-8d14-78c3d18e40c1 15 9781783740390 06 10.11647/OBP.0043 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 A Time Travel Dialogue 1 A01 21 0000-0002-9507-8470 John W.

Or might empirical data prompt a scientific hypothesis of time travel? Structured on a fascinating dialogue involving a distinguished physicist, Dr. Rufus, a physics graduate student and a computer scientist this book probes an experimentally supported hypothesis of backwards time travel – and in so doing addresses key metaphysical issues, such as causation, identity over time and free will. The setting is the Jefferson National Laboratory during a period of five days in 2010. Dr. Rufus’s experimental search for the psi-lepton and the resulting intractable data spurs the discussion on time travel. She and her two colleagues are pushed by their observations to address the grandfather paradox and other puzzles about backwards causation, with attention also given to causal loops, multi-dimensional time, and the prospect that only the present exists. Sensible solutions to the main puzzles emerge, ultimately advancing the case for time travel really being possible. 'A Time Travel Dialogue' addresses the possibility of time travel, approaching familiar paradoxes in a rigorous, engaging, and fun manner. It follows in the long philosophical tradition of using dialogue to present philosophical ideas and arguments, but is ground breaking in its use of the dialogue format to introduce readers to the metaphysics of time travel, and is also distinctive in its use of lab results to drive philosophical analysis. The discussion of data that might decide whether time is one-dimensional (one timeline) or multi-dimensional (branching time) is especially novel. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0043_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740376 06 15 9781783740383 06 15 9781783740390 06 15 9781800644700 06 15 9781783740406 06 15 9781783740413 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0043 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0043.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:997dc2af-0ca8-4026-8a9f-2f36cce89904 03 01 01 urn:uuid:997dc2af-0ca8-4026-8a9f-2f36cce89904 15 9781805113287 06 10.11647/OBP.0408 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Augustus De Morgan, Polymath New Perspectives on his Life and Legacy 1 A01 21 0000-0002-0898-808X Karen Attar 2 A01 21 0000-0001-8731-312X Adrian Rice 3 A01 21 0009-0002-4270-8018 Christopher Stray 01 eng 00 384 03 20 Augustus De Morgan 10 MAT015000 93 PBX 04 QA29.D43 20 Biography 93 DNBT 10 HIS015060 10 BIO019000 93 JNB 20 Victorian England 10 BIO015000 20 History of Mathematics 20 Mathematics Education 20 Logic 01 06 03 00 When Augustus De Morgan died in 1871, he was described as ‘one of the profoundest mathematicians in the United Kingdom’ and even as ‘the greatest of our mathematicians’. But he was far more than just a mathematician. Because much of his voluminous written output on various subjects was scattered throughout journals and encyclopaedias, the breadth of his interests and contributions has been underappreciated by historians. Now, renewed interest in De Morgan’s life and work has coincided with the digitization of his extensive library, revealing the extent to which he pioneered and influenced the development of not merely mathematics but also logic, astronomy, the history of mathematics, education, and bibliography.<break/> <break/>This edited collection celebrates De Morgan as a polymath. Drawing together multiple elements of his activity from a range of publications and archives, its contributors re-assess his academic work, his place in his intellectual environment, and his legacy. The result offers new insight into De Morgan himself as well as the wider circles in which he moved, including his family life. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0408_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113263 06 15 9781805113270 06 15 9781805113287 06 15 9781805113300 06 15 9781805113294 06 15 9781805118305 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0408 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0408.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f0493e63-71ff-4d19-8006-04e16e885fd5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f0493e63-71ff-4d19-8006-04e16e885fd5 15 9781800640672 06 10.11647/OBP.0231 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Auld Lang Syne A Song and its Culture 1 A01 21 0000-0003-0764-5496 Morag Josephine Grant 01 eng 00 358 03 20 Auld Lang Syne 12 AVA 04 ML3656.A95 10 MUS020000 12 AVC 10 MUS000000 20 song 12 AVGH 20 group identity 10 POE005020 12 1DBKS 20 reception 12 HBTB 20 reuse 01 06 03 00 In Auld Lang Syne: A Song and its Culture, M. J. Grant explores the history of this iconic song, demonstrating how its association with ideas of fellowship, friendship and sociality has enabled it to become so significant for such a wide range of individuals and communities around the world.This engaging study traces different stages in the journey of Auld Lang Syne, from the precursors to the song made famous by Robert Burns to the traditions and rituals that emerged around the song in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including its use as a song of parting, and as a song of New Year. Grant’s painstaking study investigates the origins of these varied traditions, and their impact on the transmission of the song right up to the present day.Grant uses Auld Lang Syne to explore the importance of songs and singing for group identity, arguing that it is the active practice of singing the song in group contexts that has made it so significant for so many. The book offers fascinating insights into the ways that Auld Lang Syne has been received, reused and remixed around the world, concluding with a chapter on more recent versions of the song back in Scotland.This highly original and accessible work will be of great interest to non-expert readers as well as scholars and students of musicology, cultural and social history, social anthropology and Scottish studies. The book contains a wealth of illustrations and includes links to many more, including manuscript sources. Audio examples are included for many of the musical examples. Grant’s extensive bibliography will moreover ease future referencing of the many sources consulted. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0231_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640658 06 15 9781800640665 06 15 9781800640672 06 15 9781800646346 06 15 9781800640702 06 15 9781800640689 06 15 9781800640696 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0231.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0231 99 04 urn:uuid:664931f6-27ca-4409-bb47-5642ca60117e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:664931f6-27ca-4409-bb47-5642ca60117e 15 9781800641549 06 10.11647/OBP.0248 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 A Victorian Curate A Study of the Life and Career of the Rev.

Dr John Hunt (1827-1907) was not a typical clergyman in the Victorian Church of England. He was Scottish, of lowly birth, and lacking both social connections and private means. He was also a witty and fluent intellectual, whose publications stood alongside the most eminent of his peers during a period when theology was being redefined in the light of Darwin’s Origin of Species and other radical scientific advances.Hunt attracted notoriety and conflict as well as admiration and respect: he was the subject of articles in Punch and in the wider press concerning his clandestine dissection of a foetus in the crypt of a City church, while his Essay on Pantheism was proscribed by the Roman Catholic Church. He had many skirmishes with incumbents, both evangelical and catholic, and was dismissed from several of his curacies.This book analyses his career in London and St Ives (Cambs.) through the lens of his autobiographical narrative, Clergymen Made Scarce (1867). David Yeandle has examined a little-known copy of the text that includes manuscript annotations by Eliza Hunt, the wife of the author, which offer unique insight into the many anonymous and pseudonymous references in the text.'A Victorian Curate: A Study of the Life and Career of the Rev. Dr John Hunt' is an absorbing personal account of the corruption and turmoil in the Church of England at this time. It will appeal to anyone interested in this history, the relationship between science and religion in the nineteenth century, or the role of the curate in Victorian England. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0248_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641525 06 15 9781800641532 06 15 9781800641549 06 15 9781800646469 06 15 9781800641570 06 15 9781800641556 06 15 9781800641563 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0248.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0248 99 04 urn:uuid:f524857e-3881-416a-a5d4-f4f4ccda86a8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f524857e-3881-416a-a5d4-f4f4ccda86a8 15 9781805114970 06 10.11647/OBP.0446 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Bacterial Genomes Trees and Networks 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7028-1803 Aswin Sai Narain Seshasayee 01 eng 00 254 03 20 Bacterial Genomics 93 MFN 10 SCI045000 20 Microbial Evolution 93 PSG 10 SCI027000 93 PSAJ 20 Regulatory Networks 10 SCI029000 20 Microbial Adaptation 93 PSD 10 SCI007000 20 biochemical processes 10 SCI049000 20 Molecular Microbiology 01 06 03 00 Microbes form the “unseen majority” of life on Earth, with bacteria at the forefront as both the architects of life’s chemical foundations and agents of disease. But their story is far more complex. Bacteria thrive in diverse and extreme environments, driven by the dynamic evolution of their genomes. These tiny organisms wield an extraordinary ability to adapt, balancing genetic changes across generations with rapid physiological responses to environmental shifts.In Bacterial Genomes, the evolutionary and regulatory processes that shape bacterial life are brought to life. This textbook offers a conceptual exploration of how bacterial genomes are organized, how they evolve, and how their genetic information is interpreted through intricate molecular networks. Drawing on both cutting-edge research and the historical milestones that shaped microbiology, it illuminates how bacteria navigate the intersection of genetic adaptation and ecological resilience.Designed for college students, interdisciplinary researchers, and even the determined amateur, Aswin Seshasayee moves beyond technical jargon to provide a thought-provoking synthesis of bacterial evolution and adaptation. Unlike traditional genomics texts, this book blends historical insights with contemporary discoveries, offering a fresh perspective on the role of bacteria in shaping the living world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0446_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114956 06 15 9781805114963 06 15 9781805114970 06 15 9781805114994 06 15 9781805114987 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0446.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0446 99 04 urn:uuid:721fc7c9-7531-40cd-9e59-ab1bef5fc261 03 01 01 urn:uuid:721fc7c9-7531-40cd-9e59-ab1bef5fc261 15 9781783742851 06 10.11647/OBP.0104 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Basic Knowledge and Conditions on Knowledge 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1375-4093 Mark McBride 01 eng 00 238 03 20 Basic knowledge 04 BD161 12 HPK 10 PHI004000 20 epistemology 12 GTR 12 CFA 20 justifications 20 safety condition 20 conclusive reasons 20 sensitivity 01 06 03 00 How do we know what we know? In this stimulating and rigorous book, Mark McBride explores two sets of issues in contemporary epistemology: the problems that warrant transmission poses for the category of basic knowledge; and the status of conclusive reasons, sensitivity, and safety as conditions that are necessary for knowledge.To have basic knowledge is to know (have justification for) some proposition immediately, i.e., knowledge (justification) that doesn’t depend on justification for any other proposition. This book considers several puzzles that arise when you take seriously the possibility that we can have basic knowledge.McBride’s analysis draws together two vital strands in contemporary epistemology that are usually treated in isolation from each other. Additionally, its innovative arguments include a new application of the safety condition to the law.This book will be of interest to epistemologists―both professionals and students. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0104_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 National University of Singapore Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783742837 06 15 9781783742844 06 15 9781783742851 06 15 9781800645233 06 15 9781783744381 06 15 9781783742868 06 15 9781783742875 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0104 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0104.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:39aafd68-dc83-4951-badf-d1f146a38fd4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:39aafd68-dc83-4951-badf-d1f146a38fd4 15 9781800640313 06 10.11647/OBP.0225 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 B C, Before Computers On Information Technology from Writing to the Age of Digital Data 1 A01 Stephen Robertson 01 eng 00 171 03 10 COM059000 20 history of computer developments 04 T58.5 12 U 10 COM032000 20 digital age 12 GPF 04 R63 10 COM031000 20 computer 12 JNV 12 B 20 information technology revolution 20 data processing 12 UB 20 cryptography 20 visual art 20 music 20 postal system 01 06 03 00 The idea that the digital age has revolutionized our day-to-day experience of the world is nothing new, and has been amply recognized by cultural historians. In contrast, Stephen Robertson’s 'BC: Before Computers' is a work which questions the idea that the mid-twentieth century saw a single moment of rupture. It is about all the things that we had to learn, invent, and understand – all the ways we had to evolve our thinking – before we could enter the information technology revolution of the second half of the twentieth century. Its focus ranges from the beginnings of data processing, right back to such originary forms of human technology as the development of writing systems, gathering a whole history of revolutionary moments in the development of information technologies into a single, although not linear narrative.Treading the line between philosophy and technical history, Robertson draws on his extensive technical knowledge to produce a text which is both thought-provoking and accessible to a wide range of readers. The book is wide in scope, exploring the development of technologies in such diverse areas as cryptography, visual art and music, and the postal system. Through all this, it does not simply aim to tell the story of computer developments but to show that those developments rely on a long history of humans creating technologies for increasingly sophisticated methods of manipulating information.Through a clear structure and engaging style, it brings together a wealth of informative and conceptual explorations into the history of human technologies, and avoids assumptions about any prior knowledge on the part of the reader. As such, it has the potential to be of interest to the expert and the general reader alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0225_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781800640290 06 15 9781800640306 06 15 9781800640313 06 15 9781800646308 06 15 9781800641068 06 15 9781800641044 06 15 9781800641051 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0225 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0225.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a373ccbd-0665-4faa-bc24-15542e5cb0cf 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a373ccbd-0665-4faa-bc24-15542e5cb0cf 15 9781783742509 06 10.11647/OBP.0097 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Behaviour, Development and Evolution 1 A01 Patrick Bateson 01 eng 00 134 03 20 behavioural development 04 BF713 12 PD 10 SCI070060 20 zoology 20 biology 20 evolution 20 adaptability 20 imprinting 20 genetics 01 06 03 00 The role of parents in shaping the characters of their children, the causes of violence and crime, and the roots of personal unhappiness are central to humanity. Like so many fundamental questions about human existence, these issues all relate to behavioural development. In this lucid and accessible book, eminent biologist Professor Sir Patrick Bateson suggests that the nature/nurture dichotomy we often use to think about questions of development in both humans and animals is misleading. Instead, he argues that we should pay attention to whole systems, rather than to simple causes, when trying to understand the complexity of development.In his wide-ranging approach Bateson discusses why so much behaviour appears to be well- designed. He explores issues such as ‘imprinting’ and its importance to the attachment of offspring to their parents; the mutual benefits that characterise communication between parent and offspring; the importance of play in learning how to choose and control the optimal conditions in which to thrive; and the vital function of adaptability in the interplay between development and evolution.Bateson disputes the idea that a simple link can be found between genetics and behaviour. What an individual human or animal does in its life depends on the reciprocal character of its transactions with the world about it. This knowledge also points to ways in which an animal's own behaviour can provide the variation that influences the subsequent course of evolution.This has relevance not only for our scientific approaches to the systems of development and evolution, but also on how humans change institutional rules that have become dysfunctional, or design public health measures when mismatches occur between themselves and their environments. It affects how we think about ourselves and our own capacity for change. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0097_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783742486 06 15 9781783742493 06 15 9781783742509 06 15 9781800645165 06 15 9781783745876 06 15 9781783742516 06 15 9781783742523 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0097.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0097 99 04 urn:uuid:ca550949-164c-4c3a-8532-62c1d5fb1656 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ca550949-164c-4c3a-8532-62c1d5fb1656 15 9781805114062 06 10.11647/OBP.0427 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Being in Shadow and Light Academics in Post/Conflict Higher Education 1 B01 21 0000-0003-4005-0160 Dina Zoe Belluigi 01 eng 00 372 03 20 Academia in conflict 10 EDU015000 12 JNM 04 LC72 20 Academic identity 10 EDU034000 12 JNF 12 NHTX 20 Political violence and education 10 SOC051000 20 Academic freedom 12 GTU 10 SOC066000 12 JBS 10 POL034000 20 Post-conflict reconstruction 20 Higher education and social change 10 HIS054000 12 JBFG 01 06 03 00 Academia and its citizens, during periods of political violence and social conflict, are often overlooked. When attention is given, the focus tends to be on student activism, access to higher education, or curriculum development. The experiences of academics affected by conflict remain under-researched, despite the crucial role they play as educators and in generating, documenting, preserving and challenging knowledges. This is particularly concerning given that academics have−and continue to be−at risk as targets of sanction, persecution and oppression.This edited volume seeks to address this gap by exploring, and evoking, the complexities of academic subjectivity, place and practice in contexts where intellectual and state authority are contested or in transition. It features contributions by academics, artists and memory activists who have stepped bravely outside of the parameters of their disciplines, with modes of enquiry and representation that include conversations, vignettes and case studies, critical ethnographies, oral life histories, interviews, poetry and collage. Within the ten chapters are consideration of conflicts within Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, England, Mexico, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Palestine, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Syria and Venezuela. Being in Shadow and Light encourages a deeper understanding of academics’ navigation of these difficult conditions. The authors’ insider-outsider positioning brings forth the richness of ways through dilemmas−of omission, trauma, displacement, inheritance, injustice, distortion, desire. Grounding the many social, cultural, economic, and epistemic politics within academia, troubles the enclosure of ‘conflict’ in politics at the grand level, as if only within the realm of interest for state and international actors. Against sanitising the uncertainties and particularities of being an academic figure, the authors reflect on the states and sites of conflict as spaces which shape living. This work is a call to recognize, document and study the often-overlooked subjectivities and contributions of academics thinking and practicing within societies undergoing conflict(s) and in their aftermath. As such, it will be of interest to academics, students and staff working within universities, as well audiences interested in intellectuals and institutions in contexts undergoing change. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0427_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114048 06 15 9781805114055 06 15 9781805114062 06 15 9781805114086 06 15 9781805114079 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0427 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0427.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:e76e054c-617d-4004-b68d-54739205df8d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e76e054c-617d-4004-b68d-54739205df8d 15 9781783740147 06 10.11647/OBP.0040 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Beyond Holy Russia The Life and Times of Stephen Graham 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2169-3451 Michael Hughes 01 eng 00 369 03 12 BGL 10 BIO007000 04 PR6013.R2 20 Stephen Graham 20 travel writing 10 TRV023000 12 WTL 04 Z58 12 1DVUA 20 Russia 20 biography 20 religion 01 06 03 00 This biography examines the long life of the traveller and author Stephen Graham. Graham walked across large parts of the Tsarist Empire in the years before 1917, describing his adventures in a series of books and articles that helped to shape attitudes towards Russia in Britain and the United States. In later years he travelled widely across Europe and North America, meeting some of the best known writers of the twentieth century, including H.G.Wells and Ernest Hemingway. Graham also wrote numerous novels and biographies that won him a wide readership on both sides of the Atlantic. This book traces Graham’s career as a world traveller, and provides a rich portrait of English, Russian and American literary life in the first half of the twentieth century. It also examines how many aspects of his life and writing coincide with contemporary concerns, including the development of New Age spirituality and the rise of environmental awareness. Beyond Holy Russia is based on extensive research in archives of private papers in Britain and the USA and on the many works of Graham himself. The author describes with admirable tact and clarity Graham’s heterodox and convoluted spiritual quest. The result is a fascinating portrait of a man who was for many years a significant literary figure on both sides of the Atlantic. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0040_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Scouloudi Foundation, Institute of Historical Research Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740123 06 15 9781783740130 06 15 9781783740147 06 15 9781800644670 06 15 9781783740154 06 15 9781783740161 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0040.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0040 99 04 urn:uuid:3d5fc501-96c9-4ca9-bd9c-c458ef451002 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3d5fc501-96c9-4ca9-bd9c-c458ef451002 15 9781805118794 06 10.11647/OBP.0526 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Beyond Popular Science 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3071-304X David H.

It is not a textbook. It is not an academic monograph. Instead, it occupies a rare and deliberately unconventional space: a work for readers who enjoy scientific storytelling but are no longer satisfied with simplifications that smooth away the real substance of modern science.Unlike typical popular science books, this work does not shy away from technical depth. Each chapter begins with clear, accessible explanations, then gradually descends into the rigorous frameworks—mathematical, physical, and conceptual—that underlie our best understanding of the universe. Readers encounter ideas they may have heard before, but rarely explored with this level of honesty: why relativistic time dilation, rather than spatial curvature alone, governs gravity on Earth; how quantum tunneling makes stellar fusion possible; and even how relativistic effects give gold its distinctive yellow hue.The intended audience is curious, scientifically literate readers—those with undergraduate exposure to mathematics and physics—who wish for in-depth scientific investigations. Richly illustrated with sophisticated, thought-provoking visuals, Beyond Popular Science rewards both careful reading and contemplative browsing. It is a book to be revisited, puzzled over, and enjoyed—one that treats its readers not as passive consumers, but as capable thinkers eager to engage with science as it truly is: beautiful, demanding, and unfinished. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0526_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 02 06 15 9781805118770 06 15 9781805118787 06 15 9781805118794 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0526 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0526.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:fe599a6c-ecd8-4ed3-a39e-5778cb9b77da 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fe599a6c-ecd8-4ed3-a39e-5778cb9b77da 15 9781783741694 06 10.11647/OBP.0061 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Beyond Price Essays on Birth and Death 1 A01 J.

David Velleman challenges the prevailing consensus about assisted suicide and reproductive technology, articulating an original approach to the ethics of creating and ending human lives. He argues that assistance in dying is appropriate only at the point where talk of suicide is not, and he raises moral objections to anonymous donor conception. In their place, Velleman champions a morality of valuing personhood over happiness in making end-of-life decisions, and respecting the personhood of future children in making decisions about procreation. These controversial views are defended with philosophical rigor while remaining accessible to the general reader. Written over Velleman's 30 years of undergraduate teaching in bioethics, the essays have never before been collected and made available to a non-academic audience.

It challenges conventional boundaries, embracing Van Rensselaer Potter’s vision of bioethics as a global, holistic ethics of life—integrating human health, environmental considerations, and transdisciplinary insights.Through engaging discussions, thought experiments, and case studies, the book empowers students to critically reflect on ethical questions without dictating rigid answers. Topics range from the historical roots of ethical thought to cutting-edge debates in molecular biology, such as epigenetics and exposomics, demonstrating how interconnected human, animal, and environmental health truly are. Central themes include the limits of scientific knowledge, the biases shaping research, and the evolving interplay between moral philosophy and empirical science.Students will encounter key philosophical frameworks—ontology, epistemology, and ethics—woven into practical bioethical applications. Feminist philosophy, experimental bioethics, and embedded ethics enrich this perspective, urging readers to question assumptions, embrace diverse viewpoints, and connect ethical principles with real-world science.Targeted at students in philosophy, biology, biomedical sciences, and bioengineering, this book is a toolkit for future thinkers, fostering a nuanced understanding of how ethical science advances humanity in a complex, ever-changing world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0449_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115106 06 15 9781805115113 06 15 9781805115120 06 15 9781805115144 06 15 9781805115137 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0449.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0449 99 04 urn:uuid:ed4cbb96-d5fc-4d1e-a336-198591a97508 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ed4cbb96-d5fc-4d1e-a336-198591a97508 15 9781805112921 06 10.11647/OBP.0401 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Bitter-Sweet Democracy?

But what does this phrase actually entail, and what is its relevance today? How do citizens themselves experience, feel and respond to this ‘crisis’? Bitter-Sweet Democracy grapples with the complexities of these questions in the context of citizens’ relations to politics in Belgium—a nation that has experienced political instability and protests as well as social mobilization and democratic vitality in recent years.This timely and compelling volume offers new, empirical evidence on the state of trust, democracy and representation in Belgium; it further introduces an innovative methodological and conceptual framework to study this ‘crisis’, specifically by developing the concept of political resentment. The essays in this collection span diverse topics, from citizens’ conceptions of democracy itself and the expression of political resentment among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, to the influence of different emotional dimensions of resentment on protest behaviours. By adopting a distinctive affective lens and by building upon the specific case of Belgium, this volume contributes to the broader conversation on political resentment and the critical role of emotions in contemporary politics.Bitter-Sweet Democracy will be invaluable for scholars researching the relationship between emotions and politics, political representation and democracy, and citizen-led conceptualizations of politics. It will also appeal to decision-makers and citizens seeking to understand the challenges facing democracy, as well as a wider audience of academics and students in the fields of political science, political psychology and sociology. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0401_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112907 06 15 9781805112914 06 15 9781805112921 06 15 9781805112952 06 15 9781805112938 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0401 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0401.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:c7ded4f3-4850-44eb-bd5b-e196a2254d3f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c7ded4f3-4850-44eb-bd5b-e196a2254d3f 15 9781906924447 06 10.11647/OBP.0027 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ 01 01 Bourdieu and Literature 1 A01 John R.W.

It provides a comprehensive overview and critical assessment of his contributions to literary theory and his thinking about authors and literary works. One of the foremost French intellectuals of the post-war era, Bourdieu has become a standard point of reference in the fields of anthropology, linguistics, art history, cultural studies, politics, and sociology, but his longstanding interest in literature has often been overlooked. This study explores the impact of literature on Bourdieu's intellectual itinerary, and how his literary understanding intersected with his sociological theory and thinking about cultural policy. This is the first full-length study of Bourdieu's work on literature in English, and it provides an invaluable resource for students and scholars of literary studies, cultural theory and sociology. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0027_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2011 06 15 9781906924423 06 15 9781906924430 06 15 9781906924447 06 15 9781800644540 06 15 9781783740055 06 15 9781783740062 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0027.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0027 99 04 urn:uuid:68aa204d-fd02-4718-85af-0782933fdb5e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:68aa204d-fd02-4718-85af-0782933fdb5e 15 9781800648371 06 10.11647/OBP.0318 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Breaking Conventions Five Couples in Search of Marriage-Career Balance at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century 1 A01 Patricia Auspos 01 eng 00 470 03 04 HQ1075 93 JBSF1 12 JFSJ1 20 relationships 10 SOC028000 20 gender 93 JHBK 12 LNMB 10 SOC026010 10 HIS037060 20 marriage 93 NHB 12 VFVG 10 HIS029000 12 JHBK 93 NHK 20 profession 12 HB 10 HIS015060 20 letters 93 NHD 12 HBLL 20 journals 12 1KB 20 autobiography 12 1DBK 20 social dynamics 20 masculinity 20 women 01 06 03 00 This rich history illuminates the lives and partnerships of five married couples – two British, three American – whose unions defied the conventions of their time and anticipated social changes that were to come in the ensuing century. In all five marriages, both husband and wife enjoyed thriving professional lives: a shocking circumstance at a time when wealthy white married women were not supposed to have careers, and career women were not supposed to marry. Patricia Auspos examines what we can learn from the relationships of the Palmers, the Youngs, the Parsons, the Webbs, and the Mitchells, exploring the implications of their experiences for our understanding of the history of gender equality and of professional work. In expert and lucid fashion, Auspos draws out the interconnections between the institutions of marriage and professional life at a time when both were undergoing critical changes, by looking specifically at how a pioneering generation tried to combine the two.Based on extensive archival research and drawing on mostly unpublished letters, journals, pocket diaries, poetry, and autobiographical writings, Breaking Conventions tells the intimate stories of five path-breaking marriages and the social dynamics they confronted and revealed. This book will appeal to scholars, students, and anyone interested in women’s studies, gender studies, masculinity studies, histories of women in the professions, and the history of marriage. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0318_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648357 06 15 9781800648364 06 15 9781800648371 06 15 9781800648418 06 15 9781800648401 06 15 9781800648388 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0318.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0318 99 04 urn:uuid:2befcccc-79c4-4fe9-9960-c0945f61c36c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2befcccc-79c4-4fe9-9960-c0945f61c36c 15 9781805113232 06 10.11647/OBP.0407 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Studies on Mathematics Education and Society 01 01 Breaking Images Iconoclastic Analyses of Mathematics and its Education 1 B01 21 0009-0007-5230-1904 Brian Greer 2 B01 21 0000-0003-1055-2418 David Kollosche 3 B01 21 0000-0002-1528-796X Ole Skovsmose 01 eng 00 600 03 10 EDU029010 20 Mathematics education 93 PB 04 QA10.7 10 MAT015000 93 PBB 20 School mathematics 20 Human agency 10 MAT000000 93 YPMF 20 Philosophy of mathematics 20 Historical dimensions 20 Cultural dimensions 20 politics and mathematics 01 06 03 00 Mathematics is an activity—something we do—not just something inert that we study. This rich collection begins from that premise to explore the various social influences, institutional forces and lived realities that shape and mould the study and practice of mathematics, and are moulded by it in turn.These twenty-one essays explore questions of mathematics as a topic of philosophy, but also the nature and purpose of mathematics education and the role of mathematics in moulding citizens. It challenges the biases and prejudices inherent within uninformed histories of mathematics, including problems of white supremacy, the denial of cultural difference and the global homogenization of teaching methods. In particular, the book contrasts the effectiveness of mathematics and science in modelling physical phenomena and solving technical problems with its ineffectiveness in modelling social phenomena and solving human problems, and urges us to consider how mathematics might better meet the urgent crises of our age.The book addresses anybody who is interested in reflecting on the role of mathematics in society from different perspectives. It allows mathematicians to ponder about the cultural connections of mathematics and provides new perspectives for philosophical, sociological and cultural studies of mathematics. Because of the book’s emphasis on education in mathematics, it is especially interesting for mathematics teachers and teacher educators to challenge their understanding of the subject. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0407_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113218 06 15 9781805113225 06 15 9781805113232 06 15 9781805113256 06 15 9781805113249 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0407 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0407.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f5893de5-e698-4086-985e-ae6f47512d46 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f5893de5-e698-4086-985e-ae6f47512d46 15 9781805117506 06 10.11647/OBP.0500 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Broken Illness and Disability in Antônio Francisco Lisboa, Camilo Castelo Branco, Clarice Lispector, Victor Willing, Paula Rego and Ana Palma 1 A01 Maria Manuel Lisboa 01 eng 00 230 03 93 DSB 20 Illness and creativity 10 LIT004280 04 NX650.D59 93 AGB 20 Disability studies 10 LIT004290 93 MBX 20 Mental health in art 10 SOC032000 20 Chronic illness 93 JBFM 20 Gender and illness 93 JBSF11 20 Transnational literature 01 06 03 00 'Broken: Illness and Disability in Antônio Francisco Lisboa, Camilo Castelo Branco, Clarice Lispector, Victor Willing, Paula Rego and Ana Palma' traces the lives and works of six major artists and writers from Portugal, Brazil, and Britain through the lens of 'being broken'—in body, mind, or both. Spanning from the eighteenth century to the present, the volume explores how sociopolitical and somatic factors such as mental illness, psychological abuse, arthritis, genital mutilation, and multiple sclerosis shaped their creativity, while also reflecting broader national, social, sexual, and political pressures. Engaging both literature and visual art, the book offers an original and provocative perspective that unsettles conventional narratives of health, gender, and identity in Lusophone and transnational contexts. By situating canonical figures alongside emerging voices, 'Broken' bridges generations and disciplines, revealing how art and fiction transform experiences of illness and disability into critical insights on society, history, and power. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0500_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805117483 06 15 9781805117490 06 15 9781805117506 06 15 9781805117520 06 15 9781805117513 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0500 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0500.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:456b46b9-bbec-4832-95ca-b23dcb975df1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:456b46b9-bbec-4832-95ca-b23dcb975df1 15 9781906924089 06 10.11647/OBP.0003 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 Brownshirt Princess A Study of the 'Nazi Conscience' 1 A01 Lionel Gossman 01 eng 00 217 03 04 DD256.5 12 HBJD 10 HIS014000 20 Nazism 12 BG 10 BIO000000 20 National Socialism 20 German history 20 German literature 20 European history 20 World War II 20 Second World War 20 poetry 01 06 03 00 Princess Marie Adelheid of Lippe-Biesterfeld was a rebellious young writer who became a fervent Nazi. Heinrich Vogeler was a well-regarded artist who was to join the German Communist Party. Ludwig Roselius was a successful businessman who had made a fortune from his invention of decaffeinated coffee. What was it about the revolutionary climate following World War I that induced three such different personalities to collaborate in the production of a slim volume of poetry—entitled Gott in Mir—about the indwelling of the divine within the human? Gossman's study situates the poem in the ideological context that made the collaboration possible: pantheism, Darwinism, disillusionment with traditional liberal values, theosophy and völkisch religions, and Lebensreform. The study outlines the subsequent life of the Princess who, until her death in 1993, continued to support and celebrate the ideals and heroes of National Socialism. Brownshirt Princess provides deep insight into the sources and character of the "Nazi Conscience", and is invaluable reading for anybody interested in understanding German society during the inter-war and Nazi periods.

Bringing together diverse contributions from a series of scholars, three of them fellows of Trinity College, it explores various aspects of Byron’s life and writing. The collection draws out the relationships between ‘memorials, marbles and ruins’, themes always prominent in his thinking and feeling. The earliest essay reprinted here dates from the bicentenary of Byron’s birth in 1788. Thirty-six years and two centuries later, this collection honours a figure of enduring, complex significance, with whom Trinity College is proud to be associated. It will be of value to scholars and students of Byron, as well as those interested in his life, in the bi-centenary year of his death. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0399_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112785 06 15 9781805112792 06 15 9781805112808 06 15 9781805112839 06 15 9781805112815 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0399 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0399.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:35941026-43eb-496f-b560-2c21a6dbbbfc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:35941026-43eb-496f-b560-2c21a6dbbbfc 15 9781783748778 06 10.11647/OBP.0197 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Agency Moral Identity and Free Will 1 A01 21 0000-0002-0864-2599 David Weissman 01 eng 00 210 03 20 agency 04 BJ1461 12 HP 10 PHI000000 12 HPQ 10 PHI019000 04 W46 2020 12 HPS 10 PHI005000 01 06 03 00 There is agency in all we do: thinking, doing, or making. We invent a tune, play, or use it to celebrate an occasion. Or we make a conceptual leap and ask more abstract questions about the conditions for agency. They include autonomy and self-appraisal, each contested by arguments immersing us in circumstances we don’t control. But can it be true we that have no personal responsibility for all we think and do? 'Agency: Moral Identity and Free Will' proposes that deliberation, choice, and free will emerged within the evolutionary history of animals with a physical advantage: organisms having cell walls or exoskeletons had an internal space within which to protect themselves from external threats or encounters. This defense was both structural and active: such organisms could ignore intrusions or inhibit risky behavior. Their capacities evolved with time: inhibition became the power to deliberate and choose the manner of one’s responses. Hence the ability of humans and some other animals to determine their reactions to problematic situations or to information that alters values and choices. This is free will as a material power, not as the conclusion to a conceptual argument. Having it makes us morally responsible for much we do. It prefigures moral identity. Closely argued but plainly written, 'Agency: Moral Identity and Free Will' speaks for autonomy and responsibility when both are eclipsed by ideas that embed us in history or tradition. Our sense of moral choice and freedom is accurate. We are not altogether the creatures of our circumstances. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0197_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748754 06 15 9781783748761 06 15 9781783748778 06 15 9781800646087 06 15 9781783748808 06 15 9781783748785 06 15 9781783748792 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0197.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0197 99 04 urn:uuid:27ac3599-1831-47b3-a897-3857d93c82b1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:27ac3599-1831-47b3-a897-3857d93c82b1 15 9781805113362 06 10.11647/OBP.0410 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 A Grammar of Jordanian Arabic 1 A01 21 0000-0002-7554-4120 Bruno Herin 2 A01 21 0000-0002-0590-0142 Enam Al-Wer 01 eng 00 525 03 93 2CSR 10 FOR002000 20 Jordanian Arabic 04 PJ6803.3 93 5PB-AA-A 10 HIS026010 20 Typology 93 CFB 10 LAN009010 20 Morphosyntax 93 CFF 20 Traditional dialects 93 NHTB 20 Social dialectology 20 Empirical data 01 06 03 00 The present grammar is based on empirical data collected over more than three decades. It investigates the phonology and morphosyntax of Jordanian Arabic, with a focus on the traditional sedentary varieties of Central and Northern Jordan, locally known as Balgawi and Horani. Although theory-neutral, the description is typologically informed and should be accessible to anyone broadly acquainted with linguistics. The structure of the grammar follows the traditional division between phonology, morphology and syntax. The phonology chapter discusses both segmental and suprasegmental features. The morphology section investigates the structure of the major word classes, both open and closed, as well as minor classes such as interjections, discourse markers and other uninflected particles. The chapter on syntax explores the internal structure of noun and verb phrases and the syntax of simple and complex clauses as well as transversal phenomena such as agreement, negation and information structure. The book also includes a section devoted to the social dialectology of Jordan, and a discussion of the data upon which the grammar is based and three transcribed and translated texts belonging to the traditional dialect. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0410_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805113348 06 15 9781805113355 06 15 9781805113362 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0410 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0410.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:db3a8d31-b2eb-4612-aed9-9075d6d93558 03 01 01 urn:uuid:db3a8d31-b2eb-4612-aed9-9075d6d93558 15 9781805112532 06 10.11647/OBP.0394 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 A Grammar of the Jewish Arabic Dialect of Gabes 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2577-6553 Wiktor Gębski 01 eng 00 528 03 12 CF 93 CF 10 LAN009010 04 PJ5079.5.G33 20 Spoken Arabic dialect in Northern Africa 12 CFF 93 CFF 20 Jews of Gabes, Tunisia 10 LAN006000 12 CFFD 93 CFK 10 HIS022000 20 Linguistics 93 CFFD 12 CFK 10 HIS026010 20 Judaeo-Arabic 12 JFSR1 20 Northern African dialects 93 QRJ 12 2CSR 93 2CSR 20 Linguistic preservation 20 Linguistic extinction 01 06 03 00 This volume undertakes a linguistic exploration of the endangered Arabic dialect spoken by the Jews of Gabes, a coastal city situated in Southern Tunisia. Belonging to the category of sedentary North African dialects, this variety is now spoken by a dwindling number of native speakers, primarily in Israel and France. Given the imminent extinction faced by many modern varieties of Judaeo-Arabic, including Jewish Gabes, the study's primary goal is to document and describe its linguistic nuances while reliable speakers are still accessible. Data for this comprehensive study were collected during fieldwork in Israel and France between December 2018 and March 2022. The volume's primary objective is a meticulous comparative analysis of Jewish Gabes, with a special emphasis on syntax, aiming to discern unique linguistic features through comparison with other North African dialects. The results of the study suggest that the Jewish dialect of Gabes emerged in the first wave of the Arab conquest of the Maghreb, thus exhibiting features that set it apart from its Muslim counterpart. This old variety therefore has the potential to provide invaluable information on the formation of Maghrebi Arabic and the mechanisms of language contact in the pre-Islamic Maghreb. The volume is organised in three main sections: phonology, morphology, and syntax, with the syntax section adopting historical and typological perspectives to shed light on this linguistic terra incognita. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0394_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112518 06 15 9781805112525 06 15 9781805112532 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0394.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0394 99 04 urn:uuid:3dbfa65a-ed33-46b5-9105-c5694c9c6bab 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3dbfa65a-ed33-46b5-9105-c5694c9c6bab 15 9781783749430 06 10.11647/OBP.0208 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 A Handbook and Reader of Ottoman Arabic 1 A01 Esther-Miriam Wagner 01 eng 00 488 03 12 CFF 20 Ottoman Empire 04 PJ7624 10 REL006020 20 Arabic language history 12 CFP 10 LAN009010 20 Ottoman Arabic culture 01 06 03 00 Written forms of Arabic composed during the era of the Ottoman Empire present an immensely fruitful linguistic topic. Extant texts display a proximity to the vernacular that cannot be encountered in any other surviving historical Arabic material, and thus provide unprecedented access to Arabic language history.This rich material remains very little explored. Traditionally, scholarship on Arabic has focussed overwhelmingly on the literature of the various Golden Ages between the 8th and 13th centuries, whereas texts from the 15th century onwards have often been viewed as corrupted and not worthy of study. The lack of interest in Ottoman Arabic culture and literacy left these sources almost completely neglected in university courses.This volume is the first linguistic work to focus exclusively on varieties of Christian, Jewish and Muslim Arabic in the Ottoman Empire of the 15th to the 20th centuries, and present Ottoman Arabic material in a didactic and easily accessible way. Split into a Handbook and a Reader section, the book provides a historical introduction to Ottoman literacy, translation studies, vernacularisation processes, language policy and linguistic pluralism. The second part contains excerpts from more than forty sources, edited and translated by a diverse network of scholars.The material presented includes a large number of yet unedited texts, such as Christian Arabic letters from the Prize Paper collections, mercantile correspondence and notebooks found in the Library of Gotha, and Garshuni texts from archives of Syriac patriarchs. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0208_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749416 06 15 9781783749423 06 15 9781783749430 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0208.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0208 99 04 urn:uuid:07788867-f713-40d4-bbfe-bf40e951e9ca 03 01 01 urn:uuid:07788867-f713-40d4-bbfe-bf40e951e9ca 15 9781805116424 06 10.11647/OBP.0475 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 al-Dānī's al-Taysīr fī al-qirāʾāt al-sabʿ A Translation with Linguistic Commentary 1 A01 21 0000-0003-4670-0937 Marijn van Putten 01 eng 00 354 03 04 BP131.5 12 QRVC 20 Quranic Arabic 10 REL006160 20 Classical Arabic 12 QRP 10 REL037010 12 2CSR 20 al-Dānī 10 REL067000 12 CFP 20 Quranic Reading Traditions 12 CFF 20 Quran 20 qirāʾāt 20 al-Taysīr 01 06 03 00 Al-Taysīr fī al-Qirāʾāt al-Sabʿ by the 11th century Andalusian scholar ʾAbū ʿAmr al-Dānī is one of the most influential descriptions of the seven reading traditions of the Qurʾān. It is the work on which the later didactic poem by al-Šāṭibī was based, which still stands as the basis for the teaching of the reading traditions among Muslim specialists. This book makes the highly technical genre of the Qurʾānic reading traditions accessible through a rigorous translation of al-Dānī’s work with extensive elucidating footnotes. Besides a full translation of the text, the book also includes an in-depth introduction, which lays out the history of the reading traditions, details of their transmission, the technical terminology of the Qirāʾāt genre, and summarises the linguistic principles of the reading traditions using modern linguistic terminology and illustrative tables. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0475_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Leiden University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805116400 06 15 9781805116417 06 15 9781805116424 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0475 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0475.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:0229f930-1e01-40b8-b4a8-03ab57624ced 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0229f930-1e01-40b8-b4a8-03ab57624ced 15 9781783748174 06 10.11647/OBP.0188 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 A Lexicon of Medieval Nordic Law 1 A01 Jeffrey Love 2 A01 Inger Larsson 3 A01 Ulrika Djärv 4 A01 Christine Peel 5 A01 Erik Simensen 01 eng 00 586 03 12 1DN 04 KJC544.6 20 Lexicon 10 REF000000 12 2ACS 04 L38 2020 10 LAW000000 20 Medieval Nordic Law 12 LAQ 20 medieval Scandinavia 10 REF008000 10 FOR022000 12 LAF 20 vernacular legal terminology 12 CFM 01 06 03 00 'A Lexicon of Medieval Nordic Law' is an indispensable resource for scholars and students of medieval Scandinavia. This polyglot dictionary draws on the vast and vibrant range of vernacular legal terminology found in medieval Scandinavian texts – terminology which yields valuable insights into the quotidian realities of crime and retribution; the processes, application and execution of laws; and the cultural and societal concerns underlying the development and promulgation of such laws.Legal texts constitute an unparalleled – and often untapped – source of information for those studying the literature, languages and history of medieval and Viking Age Scandinavia. The Lexicon is a welcome contribution to the study of medieval Scandinavia on two counts: firstly, it makes accessible a wealth of vernacular historical documents for an English-speaking audience. Secondly, it presents legal terminologies that span the languages and geographies of medieval Scandinavia, drawing on twenty-five legal texts composed in Old Swedish, Old Icelandic, Old Norwegian, Old Danish, Old Gutnish and Old Faroese. By collating and juxtaposing legal terms, the Lexicon thus offers its readers a fascinating, comprehensive window into the legal milieu of medieval Scandinavia as a unified whole.It is in this respect that A Lexicon of Medieval Nordic Law differs from the other major lexica that came before it: where relevant, it gathers closely related terms from multiple Nordic languages beneath single headwords within single entries. This approach illuminates the differences (and similarities) in usage of specific lexical items and legal concepts across geographic areas and through time.This dictionary contains over 6000 Nordic headwords, and is laid out as a standard reference work. It is easily navigable, with a clear structure to each entry, providing English equivalents; textual references; phrases in which headwords frequently appear; cross-references to aid readers in locating synonyms or cognate terms within the lexicon; and references to published works. Roughly one quarter of the headwords supply semantic analysis and detailed information on the textual and historical contexts within which a term might appear, which help the reader to engage with the broader legal concepts underlying specific terms. The Lexicon is thus designed to provide its readers not only with succinct single definitions of Norse legal terms, but with a sense of the wider Scandinavian legal landscape and worldview within which these concepts were developed.A Lexicon of Medieval Nordic Law is an ongoing project with a digital counterpart (https://www.dhi.ac.uk/lmnl/) created within the department of Swedish Language and Multilingualism at Stockholm University. It is part of the wider ‘Medieval Nordic Laws’ project based at the University of Aberdeen.The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities, the Magnus Bergvalls Stiftelse and the Stiftelsen Konung Gustaf VI Adolfs fond för svensk kultur have generously contributed to this publication. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0188_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748150 06 15 9781783748167 06 15 9781783748174 06 15 9781800646001 06 15 9781783748204 06 15 9781783748181 06 15 9781783748198 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0188.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0188 99 04 urn:uuid:db44931b-8fa2-4d80-8e17-851bf26629c8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:db44931b-8fa2-4d80-8e17-851bf26629c8 15 9781805116233 06 10.11647/OBP.0466 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Allocation, Distribution, and Policy Notes, Problems, and Solutions in Microeconomics 1 A01 21 0000-0001-6068-4430 Samuel Bowles 2 A01 21 0000-0002-8891-6843 Weikai Chen 01 eng 00 270 03 10 BUS021000 20 Game Theory 93 KC 20 Behavioral Economics 10 BUS044000 93 KCA 10 BUS022000 93 KCH 20 Mechanism Design 10 BUS051000 20 Income Distribution 93 KCVG 10 BUS068000 93 GTP 20 Microeconomic Policy 20 Asymmetric Information 10 BUS099000 01 06 03 00 Microeconomics has been transformed in recent decades by the increasing use of game theory, behavioral economics, evolutionary modeling, network economics, mechanism design and attention to limited competition and asymmetric information.

In it, Dorottya Fabian explores the contributions and limitations of some of these approaches to performance, be they theoretical, cultural, historical, perceptual, or analytical. Through a detailed investigation of recent recordings of J. S. Bach’s Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, she demonstrates that music performance functions as a complex dynamical system. Only by crossing disciplinary boundaries, therefore, can we put the aural experience into words. A Musicology of Performance provides a model for such a method by adopting Deleuzian concepts and various empirical and interdisciplinary procedures.<break/>Fabian provides a case study in the repertoire, while presenting new insights into the state of baroque performance practice at the turn of the twenty-first century. Through its wealth of audio examples, tables, and graphs, the book offers both a sensory and a scholarly account of musical performance. These interactive elements map the connections between historically informed and mainstream performance styles, considering them in relation to broader cultural trends, violin schools, and individual artistic trajectories.<break/>A Musicology of Performance is a must read for academics and post-graduate students and an essential reference point for the study of music performance, the early music movement, and Bach’s opus. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0064_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Australian Academy of the Humanities 16 University of New South Wales Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741526 06 15 9781783741533 06 15 9781783741540 06 15 9781800644908 06 15 9781783746439 06 15 9781783741557 06 15 9781783741564 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0064.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0064 99 04 urn:uuid:99af261d-8a31-449e-bf26-20e0178b8ed1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:99af261d-8a31-449e-bf26-20e0178b8ed1 15 9781783743155 06 10.11647/OBP.0110 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 An Anglo-Norman Reader 1 A01 Jane Bliss 01 eng 00 414 03 20 anthology 12 DQ 10 LCO008000 04 PR281 20 Anglo-Norman literature 12 CFP 10 LCO017000 12 DSBB 20 English translation 10 LIT018000 10 LIT025040 20 medieval culture 20 History 20 short stories 20 grammar and glosses 20 letters 20 hagiography 20 homiletic 20 medieval studies 20 medievalism 01 06 03 00 This book is an anthology with a difference. It presents a distinctive variety of Anglo-Norman works, beginning in the twelfth century and ending in the nineteenth, covering a broad range of genres and writers, introduced in a lively and thought-provoking way. Facing-page translations, into accessible and engaging modern English, are provided throughout, bringing these texts to life for a contemporary audience.The collection offers a selection of fascinating passages, and whole texts, many of which are not anthologised or translated anywhere else. It explores little-known byways of Arthurian legend and stories of real-life crime and punishment; women’s voices tell history, write letters, berate pagans; advice is offered on how to win friends and influence people, how to cure people’s ailments and how to keep clear of the law; and stories from the Bible are retold with commentary, together with guidance on prayer and confession.Each text is introduced and elucidated with notes and full references, and the material is divided into three main sections based on Dean’s Catalogue: Story (a variety of narrative forms), Miscellany (including letters, law and medicine, and other non-fiction), and Religious (saints' lives, sermons, Bible commentary, and prayers).

It is accompanied by a brief introduction to the study of proverbs (paremiology) and a succinct grammatical sketch of Jibbali/Śḥərɛ̄́t, making the book useful both to experts and to students of these topics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0422_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113843 06 15 9781805113850 06 15 9781805113867 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0422.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0422 99 04 urn:uuid:c0ac83bf-018f-4175-8a47-071189ea022e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c0ac83bf-018f-4175-8a47-071189ea022e 15 9781805111160 06 10.11647/OBP.0360 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 An Anthology of Global Risk 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2834-0993 SJ Beard 2 B01 21 0000-0002-1244-3787 Tom Hobson 01 eng 00 716 03 20 Existential Risk Studies key texts 12 GPQD 04 HV549 93 JHB 10 SOC026000 20 Global Risk 93 GTQ 12 JFFS 10 POL033000 20 Global risk reduction 12 GTF 93 JPQB 10 POL028000 20 Human extinction 93 JBFF 12 JFF 10 SOC040000 20 Civilization collapse 20 Safeguard humanity 01 06 03 00 This anthology brings together a diversity of key texts in the emerging field of Existential Risk Studies. It serves to complement the previous volume The Era of Global Risk: An Introduction to Existential Risk Studies by providing open access to original research and insights in this rapidly evolving field. At its heart, this book highlights the ongoing development of new academic paradigms and theories of change that have emerged from a community of researchers in and around the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. The chapters in this book challenge received notions of human extinction and civilization collapse and seek to chart new paths towards existential security and hope.The volume curates a series of research articles, including previously published and unpublished work, exploring the nature and ethics of catastrophic global risk, the tools and methodologies being developed to study it, the diverse drivers that are currently pushing it to unprecedented levels of danger, and the pathways and opportunities for reducing this. In each case, they go beyond simplistic and reductionist accounts of risk to understand how a diverse range of factors interact to shape both catastrophic threats and our vulnerability and exposure to them and reflect on different stakeholder communities, policy mechanisms, and theories of change that can help to mitigate and manage this risk. Bringing together experts from across diverse disciplines, the anthology provides an accessible survey of the current state of the art in this emerging field.The interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary nature of the cutting-edge research presented here makes this volume a key resource for researchers and academics. However, the editors have also prepared introductions and research highlights that will make it accessible to an interested general audience as well. Whatever their level of experience, the volume aims to challenge readers to take on board the extent of the multiple dangers currently faced by humanity, and to think critically and proactively about reducing global risk. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0360_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111146 06 15 9781805111153 06 15 9781805111160 06 15 9781805111207 06 15 9781805111177 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0360.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0360 99 04 urn:uuid:9373214b-3c69-444d-9635-da04e393d66a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9373214b-3c69-444d-9635-da04e393d66a 15 9781805111870 06 10.11647/OBP.0383 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 (An)Archive Childhood, Memory, and the Cold War 1 B01 21 0000-0003-4681-6024 Zsuzsa Millei 2 B01 21 0000-0003-0963-1901 Nelli Piattoeva 3 B01 21 0000-0002-8897-8016 Iveta Silova 4 B01 Mnemo ZIN 01 eng 00 428 03 12 BM 20 Cold War 04 D843 93 JB 10 SOC000000 20 Childhood 10 HIS054000 12 JH 93 NHTB 12 JFF 93 JMC 20 Memory 10 PSY004000 10 BIO026000 93 DNC 12 HBTW 20 State socialism 20 (An)Archive 12 GTR 93 NHTW 10 POL011000 20 collective biography 12 JMC 10 SOC002000 10 HIS037100 20 Oral history 01 06 03 00 What was it like growing up during the Cold War? What can childhood memories tell us about state socialism and its aftermath? How can these intimate memories complicate history and redefine possible futures? These questions are at the heart of the (An)Archive: Childhood, Memory, and the Cold War. This edited collection stems from a collaboration between academics and artists who came together to collectively remember their own experiences of growing up on both sides of the ‘Iron Curtain’. Looking beyond official historical archives, the book gathers memories that have been erased or forgotten, delegitimized or essentialized, or, at best, reinterpreted nostalgically within the dominant frameworks of the East-West divide. And it reassembles and (re)stores these childhood memories in a form of an ‘anarchive’: a site for merging, mixing, connecting, but also juxtaposing personal experiences, public memory, political rhetoric, places, times, and artifacts. These acts and arts of collective remembering tell about possible futures―and the past’s futures―what life during the Cold War might have been but also what it has become.(An)Archive will be of particular interest to scholars in a variety of fields, but particularly to artists, educators, historians, social scientists, and others working with memory methodologies that range from collective biography to oral history, (auto)biography, autoethnography, and archives. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0383_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Tampere University 01 grantnumber 3122800381 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111856 06 15 9781805111863 06 15 9781805111870 06 15 9781805111900 06 15 9781805111887 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0383.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0383 99 04 urn:uuid:8b5f00c1-f677-4b40-8835-c1717aabff68 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8b5f00c1-f677-4b40-8835-c1717aabff68 15 9781800642560 06 10.11647/OBP.0264 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Ancient Greek I A 21st Century Approach 1 A01 Philip S.

Laboratory animals have been essential to this progress, and the knowledge gained has saved countless lives—both human and animal. Unfortunately, those opposed to using animals in research have often employed doctored evidence to suggest that the practice has impeded medical progress. This volume presents the articles Jack Botting wrote for the Research Defence Society News from 1991 to 1996, papers which provided scientists with the information needed to rebut such claims. Collected, they can now reach a wider readership interested in understanding the part of animal experiments in the history of medicine—from the discovery of key vaccines to the advancement of research on a range of diseases, among them hypertension, kidney failure and cancer. This book is essential reading for anyone curious about the role of animal experimentation in the history of science from the nineteenth century to the present. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0055_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Biomedical Research Education Trust (BRET) Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741175 06 15 9781783741182 06 15 9781783741199 06 15 9781800644823 06 15 9781783741205 06 15 9781783741212 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0055.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0055 99 04 urn:uuid:1111285e-4049-4ff1-b167-a1f5814344e5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1111285e-4049-4ff1-b167-a1f5814344e5 15 9781805110699 06 10.11647/OBP.0351 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 An Introduction to Andalusi Hebrew Metrics 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7595-3912 José Martínez Delgado 01 eng 00 212 03 12 2CSJ 10 FOR011000 20 Hebrew metrics 04 PJ4781 12 DSC 10 LAN005070 20 linguists 12 2CS 20 medieval Hebrew poetry 10 POE020000 20 academic discussion 12 DSBB 10 POE028000 10 POE022000 20 scansions 20 name of the meter 20 new editions of poems 01 06 03 00 Throughout the last two centuries, Hebrew metrics was studied by leading linguists and specialists in medieval Hebrew poetry. Nowadays, it has disappeared from the academic discussion such that it is sometimes even difficult to find scansions or the name of the meter in new editions of poems. This book aims to rectify this gap, helping readers to understand the metric structure of this poetry in order to facilitate the work of editing and cataloguing those samples still in manuscript form for future editors. Delgado presents his view of Andalusi Hebrew metrics, as encountered in medieval manuals of Arabic and Hebrew metrics and scattered notes in the works of Andalusi Hebrew philologists. Whilst twentieth-century scholars spoke about the adaptation of Arabic metrics to Hebrew, he instead approaches these compositions by Andalusi Jews (10th-13th c.) as Arabic metrics written in Hebrew, thus emphasising how Hebrew poetry of the Andalusi Jews can help us to understand the general evolution of Arabic strophic poetry, and its experimental evolution, which is quite unlike classical and strophic Arabic poetry.This method respects the Hebrew vowel system, and does not necessitate alteration of word morphology, leaving the guttural letters quiescent (unless required by metrical license); nor does it necessitate guesses about metres that are not in the classical catalogue. Although the author has not found each and every classical metre from Andalusi Hebrew poetry included in this manual, they are all catalogued, either in case someone finds them in future or because they help us to comprehend the metrical structures that are characteristic of strophic poetry. As such, this monograph will be of great interest to scholars of Hebrew metrics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0351_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110675 06 15 9781805110682 06 15 9781805110699 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0351.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0351 99 04 urn:uuid:5a597468-a3eb-4026-b29e-eb93b8a7b0d6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5a597468-a3eb-4026-b29e-eb93b8a7b0d6 15 9781783747283 06 10.11647/OBP.0172 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Annunciations Sacred Music for the Twenty-First Century 1 B01 21 0000-0002-7043-3253 George Corbett 01 eng 00 394 03 12 HRCS 20 Judeo-Christian tradition 04 ML3921.2 10 MUS048010 12 AVX 20 contemporary culture 10 MUS051000 12 AVA 10 MUS007000 20 sacred music 20 music composition 20 music performance 20 appreciation of music 20 Religious music 20 God 20 Old Testaments 20 New Testaments 20 Scriptural reflection 20 musical practice 01 06 03 00 Our contemporary culture is communicating ever-increasingly through the visual, through film, and through music. This makes it ever more urgent for theologians to explore the resources of art for enriching our understanding and experience of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Annunciations: Sacred Music for the twenty-First Century, edited by George Corbett, answers this need, evaluating the relationship between the sacred and the composition, performance, and appreciation of music.Through the theme of ‘annunciations’, this volume interrogates how, when, why, through and to whom God communicates in the Old and New Testaments. In doing so, it tackles the intimate relationship between Scriptural reflection and musical practice in the past, its present condition, and what the future might hold.Annunciations comprises three parts. Part I sets out flexible theological and compositional frameworks for a constructive relationship between the sacred and music. Part II presents the reflections of theologians and composers involved in collaborating on new pieces of sacred choral music, alongside the six new scores and links to the recordings. Part III considers the reality of programming and performing sacred works today.This volume provides an indispensable resource for scholars and artists working at the interface between theology and the arts, and for those involved in sacred music. However, it will also be of interest to anyone concerned with the ways in which the Divine communicates through word and artistry to humanity. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0172_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747269 06 15 9781783747276 06 15 9781783747283 06 15 9781800645875 06 15 9781783747313 06 15 9781783747290 06 15 9781783747306 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0172.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0172 99 04 urn:uuid:2925acef-56cf-4459-9a2f-cbf42625006f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2925acef-56cf-4459-9a2f-cbf42625006f 15 9781800647442 06 10.11647/OBP.0302 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 An Outline of Romanticism in the West 1 A01 21 0000-0003-0644-9530 John Claiborne Isbell 01 eng 00 252 03 12 D 10 LIT000000 04 PN751 20 Romantic literature 12 DSBF 10 LIT004120 20 Romantic art 12 DS 20 Europe 10 LIT024030 20 Americas 12 DSC 10 LIT024040 12 DSK 10 LIT014000 20 Shelley 20 Staël 20 nationalism 20 politics 20 history 20 artistic inspiration 01 06 03 00 Navigating the landscape of Romantic literature and art across Europe and the Americas, An Outline of Romanticism in the West invites readers to embark upon a literary journey. Showcasing a breadth of theoretical and contextual approaches to the study of Romanticism, John Isbell provides an insightful contemporary overview of the field, paired with wide-ranging comparative reflections on the art and literature that helped shape it.Discussing seminal Romantic texts such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or Germaine de Staël’s Corinne ou l’Italie, Isbell provides a foundation through which to investigate core concepts, such as the continuum of Romance, the Romantic hero, and Romantic literature’s characteristic repudiation of its own Romanticism. Unusually for a single-author monograph, the book includes both published and unpublished material covering Romantic creation across Europe and the two Americas.Identifying Romanticism as an international movement, Isbell seeks to emphasise a theme frequently ignored by many academics: the roots of Romanticism, and its variations, as a national art. His arguments are supported by extensive interrogations of the political and historical contexts that moulded the outlooks of the writers and artists central to the period.An Outline of Romanticism in the West underlines the interplay between nationalism, history, and artistic inspiration, and will therefore be of value to students and scholars of literature and history, as well as to general readers with an interest in Romanticism in the West. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0302_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647428 06 15 9781800647435 06 15 9781800647442 06 15 9781800647480 06 15 9781800647473 06 15 9781800647459 06 15 9781800647466 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0302.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0302 99 04 urn:uuid:66e0fd18-7917-42b1-b4f0-b05c33ce12a5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:66e0fd18-7917-42b1-b4f0-b05c33ce12a5 15 9781800643642 06 10.11647/OBP.0282 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Anthropology of Transformation From Europe to Asia and Back 1 B01 21 0000-0002-6449-122X Juraj Buzalka 2 B01 21 0000-0002-6895-7402 Agnieszka Pasieka 01 eng 00 280 03 20 anthropology 04 GN316 12 J 10 POL032000 12 JPF 10 POL005000 20 post-socialism 20 Chris Hann 12 JPFF 10 SOC002000 20 ethnography 12 JH 10 SOC002010 20 politics 20 economics 20 religion 01 06 03 00 This collection of essays is the result of the joint efforts of colleagues and students of the leading social anthropology and post-socialism theorist, Professor Chris Hann. With the thirtieth anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 2019 as their catalyst, the authors reflect upon Chris Hann’s lifelong fieldwork in the discipline, spanning regions as diverse as East Central Europe, Turkey, and the Chinese north-west.The collapse of the Berlin Wall naturally triggered a plethora of analysis and scholarly research. Sociocultural anthropology, with its focus on ethnographic study and on the gradual evolution of social relations, sharply contrasted with the emphasis on dramatic rupture brought about by the 1989 transition. Continuing in this tradition, this volume, through micro-level analysis of societal transformation from the post-war years to the present day, provides an alternative perspective to the neoliberalist views often encountered in the scholarship on political and economic modernisation. The more nuanced analysis of social transformations proposed here is a particularly useful tool in the investigation of contemporary issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the refugee ‘crisis’, and the rise of right-wing populism in Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Anthropology of Transformation will be of interest to researchers in the fields of socio-cultural anthropology, religion and economics. Moreover, the book’s discussion of issues widely discussed beyond the field of academia such as neoliberalism and the welfare state, and populist and exclusionary politics, will appeal to non-specialist readers. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0282_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643628 06 15 9781800643635 06 15 9781800643642 06 15 9781800649439 06 15 9781800643673 06 15 9781800643659 06 15 9781800643666 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0282 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0282.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:8e1c56e8-8690-46dd-b605-52d915b3b656 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8e1c56e8-8690-46dd-b605-52d915b3b656 15 9781805113188 06 10.11647/OBP.0406 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Antisemitism in Online Communication Transdisciplinary Approaches to Hate Speech in the Twenty-First Century 1 B01 21 0000-0003-2847-4542 Matthias J.

While global efforts have been made to counter contemporary antisemitism, there is an urgent need to understand its online manifestations. Hate speech spreads easily across the internet, facilitated by anonymity and reinforced by algorithms that favour engaging--even if offensive--content. It often takes coded forms, making detection challenging.Antisemitism in Online Communication addresses these issues by analysing explicit and implicit antisemitic statements in mainstream online discourse. Drawing from disciplines such as corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, semiotics, history, and philosophy, this edited collection examines over 100,000 user comments from three language communities. Contributors explore various facets of online antisemitism, including its intersectionality with misogyny and its dissemination through memes and social networks. Through case studies, they examine the reproduction, support, and rejection of antisemitic tropes, alongside quantitative assessments of comment structures in online discussions. Additionally, the volume delves into the capabilities of content moderation tools and deep-learning models for automated hate speech detection. This multidisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive understanding of contemporary antisemitism in digital spaces, recognising the importance of addressing its insidious spread from multiple angles. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0406_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Technische Universität Berlin 01 programname Open Access Publication Fund of the Technische Universität Berlin Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113164 06 15 9781805113171 06 15 9781805113188 06 15 9781805113201 06 15 9781805113195 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0406 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0406.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:857a5788-a709-4d56-8607-337c1cabd9a2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:857a5788-a709-4d56-8607-337c1cabd9a2 15 9781783744961 06 10.11647/OBP.0141 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 ANZUS and the Early Cold War Strategy and Diplomacy between Australia, New Zealand and the United States, 1945-1956 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2896-5993 Andrew Kelly 01 eng 00 215 03 12 HBJM 10 HIS004000 20 History 04 UA870 12 HBTW 10 HIS027030 20 treaty 12 HBLW3 10 HIS027110 20 nuclear 10 HIS027130 20 Pacific 10 HIS037070 20 security 20 foreign policy 20 alliance 01 06 03 00 The ANZUS Alliance was a defence arrangement between Australia, New Zealand and the United States that shaped international policy in the aftermath of the Second World War and the early stages of the Cold War. Forged by influential individuals and impacting on global events including the Japanese Peace Treaty, the Korean War and the Suez Crisis, the ANZUS Alliance was a crucial factor in the seismic changes that took place in the second half of the twentieth century. In this compact and accessible study Andrew Kelly lays out the tensions that underpinned the formation of the Alliance, as each power sought to extract maximum influence and prestige, and examines how the ANZUS powers worked together (or failed to do so) when responding to massive global events including the rise of the People’s Republic of China and the waning of the British Empire. Kelly comprehensively explores the reasons why Australia and New Zealand disagreed so regularly about mutual security issues, how US global leadership shaped ANZUS, and the British impact on the trilateral relationship, and outlines how these issues set the foundations for today’s world order. ANZUS and the Early Cold War is essential reading for historians of Australian, New Zealand and American international relations in the twentieth century. Its concise format and readable style will also appeal to general readers interested in the history and foreign policies of these nations, and to anyone who wants to know more about the individual and geopolitical tensions that beset any major alliance. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0141_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783744947 06 15 9781783744954 06 15 9781783744961 06 15 9781800645608 06 15 9781783746064 06 15 9781783744978 06 15 9781783744985 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0141.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0141 99 04 urn:uuid:b0263f0c-48cd-4923-aef5-1b204636507c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b0263f0c-48cd-4923-aef5-1b204636507c 15 9781909254121 06 10.11647/OBP.0022 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 01 01 A People Passing Rude British Responses to Russian Culture 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2611-6090 Anthony Cross 01 eng 00 347 03 12 1DVUA 04 DA47.65 10 LIT004240 20 Russian literature 12 DS 10 HIS032000 20 Russian art 10 ART049000 20 Russian history 20 Anglo-Russian relations 20 Russian music 20 Russia 20 United Kingdom 01 06 03 00 Described by the sixteenth-century English poet George Turbervile as "a people passing rude, to vices vile inclin’d", the Russians waited some three centuries before their subsequent cultural achievements—in music, art and particularly literature—achieved widespread recognition in Britain. The essays in this stimulating collection attest to the scope and variety of Russia’s influence on British culture. They move from the early nineteenth century—when Byron sent his hero Don Juan to meet Catherine the Great, and an English critic sought to come to terms with the challenge of Pushkin—to a series of Russian-themed exhibitions at venues including the Crystal Palace and Earls Court. The collection looks at British encounters with Russian music, the absorption with Dostoevskii and Chekhov, and finishes by shedding light on Britain’s engagement with Soviet film. Edited by Anthony Cross, one of the world’s foremost authorities on Anglo-Russian relations, A People Passing Rude is essential reading for anyone with an interest in British and Russian cultures and their complex relationship. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0022_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2012 06 15 9781909254107 06 15 9781909254114 06 15 9781909254121 06 15 9781800644496 06 15 9781909254138 06 15 9781909254145 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0022.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0022 99 04 urn:uuid:bcef0b82-b5b8-46e4-afb1-72bd42aba8da 03 01 01 urn:uuid:bcef0b82-b5b8-46e4-afb1-72bd42aba8da 15 9781800644243 06 10.11647/OBP.0293 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 A Philosophy of Cover Songs 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2446-3494 P.D.

Musicians describe their own performances as covers, and audiences use the category to organize their listening and appreciation. However, until now philosophers have not had much to say about them. In A Philosophy of Cover Songs, P.D. Magnus demonstrates that philosophy provides a valuable toolbox for thinking about covers; in turn, the philosophy of cover songs illustrates some general points about philosophical method.Lucidly written, the book is divided into three parts: how to think about covers, appreciating covers, and the metaphysics of covers and songs. Along the way, it explores a range of issues raised by covers, from the question of what precisely constitutes a cover, to the history and taxonomy of the category, the various relationships that hold between songs, performances, and tracks, and the appreciation and evaluation of covers.This unique and engaging book will be of interest to those working in philosophy of art, philosophy of music, popular music studies, music history, and musicology, as well as to readers with a general interest in popular music, covers, and how we think about them. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0293_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800644229 06 15 9781800644236 06 15 9781800644243 06 15 9781800646773 06 15 9781800644274 06 15 9781800644250 06 15 9781800644267 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0293 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0293.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:01e3b2b0-db8b-4318-b8bf-e95dd1ffd59d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:01e3b2b0-db8b-4318-b8bf-e95dd1ffd59d 15 9781805115687 06 10.11647/OBP.0461 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 A Place of Dreams Desire, Deception and a Wartime Coming of Age 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2602-0029 Alison Twells 01 eng 00 366 03 04 D810.W7 93 DNBH 10 HIS058000 20 Women's Wartime Diaries 93 FV 10 HIS054000 20 World War II Romance 10 HIS058000 93 JBSF1 20 Working-Class Women's History 10 BIO022000 20 Microhistory and Life-Writing 93 NHW 93 1DDU-GB-EYK 20 Feminism and Historical Memory 10 HIS027100 20 Family History and Identity 10 LIT004290 93 NHWR7 10 SOC028000 01 06 03 00 This book is a compelling blend of mystery, history, and creative non-fiction, that brings to life the wartime story of Norah Hodgkinson (1925-2009), a working-class schoolgirl, later clerical worker, and a prolific diarist. The book opens with a sailor’s letter of thanks for a pair of socks that Norah had knitted for the Royal Navy Comforts Fund in 1940―a gift that led to an exciting romance with the sailor’s dashing airman brother. But as the author pieces together Norah’s diary entries and the sailor’s letters, questions emerge about the men’s identities and intentions. 'A Place of Dreams' uncovers a dark tale of male rivalry and wartime anonymity, and a young woman’s appetite for life and love amidst unexpected dangers. Blending microhistory with family history and life-writing, the author navigates the challenges of Norah’s tweet-like diary entries. Inviting the reader into Norah’s world, she explores ways of uncovering the lives of ordinary women, so often absent from official archives. A Place of Dreams is a timely story in the era of #MeToo, juxtaposing Norah’s wartime experiences with contemporary feminist writing to pose questions―about sex, desire, modesty, and shame—that Norah could not voice in 1940s England. By reflecting on the relevance of history today, the story explores whether narratives like Norah’s can spark broader conversations about “intimate justice” and its connection to politics and cultural change. On a personal level, it delves into what Norah’s wartime experience means to the author as a historian, feminist, Norah’s great-niece, and a mother of girls.This volume will appeal to readers with an interest in women’s lives in the past, and academics and students in the fields of women’s and gender history, the history of sexuality, the social and cultural history of war/WW2 studies, diary studies, and the relationships of history, fiction and life-writing. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0461_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115663 06 15 9781805115670 06 15 9781805115687 06 15 9781805115700 06 15 9781805115694 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0461 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0461.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:da3926c2-ddb8-4567-b13e-1be2fee655ab 03 01 01 urn:uuid:da3926c2-ddb8-4567-b13e-1be2fee655ab 15 9781805116936 06 10.11647/OBP.0486 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 A Portrait of Samuel Hartlib In Search of Universal Betterment 1 A01 Charles Webster 01 eng 00 312 03 04 CT788.H34 10 HIS015040 93 NHB 20 Samuel Hartlib 20 Hartlib Circle 93 JNB 10 POL010000 10 BIO006000 20 Commonwealth and Protectorate 93 DNBH 20 17th-century intellectual networks 10 EDU016000 93 JPA 93 DSB 20 Hartlib Papers 10 LIT004120 20 English Civil War 01 06 03 00 The 2013 digitization of the vast Hartlib Papers archive highlighted the pressing need for a comprehensive modern study of Samuel Hartlib (1600–1662), a central figure in seventeenth-century intellectual life. Though educated in Eastern Europe, Hartlib spent his adult life in London, where he became a prolific correspondent and chronicler. His Ephemerides, spanning 1634 to 1660, and his extensive correspondence with leading thinkers across Britain and Protestant Europe offer an unparalleled window into the era’s religious, political, and scientific ferment.This volume goes beyond previous studies in both scope and depth, drawing extensively on archival sources and offering new interpretations of Hartlib’s network and influence. Organized chronologically, it explores the wide-ranging social, economic, and ideological pursuits of Hartlib and his collaborators—many of them renowned figures in their own right—and his close alignment with the Cromwellian cause.Providing the most complete portrait to date of the Hartlib circle’s emergence and impact, this study sets a new benchmark for scholarship and invites renewed engagement with one of the early modern period’s most visionary projects of knowledge, reform, and communication. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0486_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Hartlib Fund Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116912 06 15 9781805116929 06 15 9781805116936 06 15 9781805116950 06 15 9781805116943 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0486.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0486 99 04 urn:uuid:a9da050e-b139-4b36-88d4-374fa818a1be 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a9da050e-b139-4b36-88d4-374fa818a1be 15 9781805112327 06 10.11647/OBP.0391 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Arabic Documents from Medieval Nubia 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2550-9896 Geoffrey Khan 01 eng 00 854 03 12 2CSR 20 Arabic documents 93 CJ 04 DT82.5.N83 10 FOR011000 20 11th-12th centuries Nubia 12 CFF 93 CFF 10 LAN009010 20 Arabic sources 12 CF 93 CFB 10 LAN009050 12 1HFG 20 English translation 10 HIS001020 93 NHH 10 FOR002000 20 Middle Ages 20 Egypt-Nubia relations 01 06 03 00 This volume presents an edition of a corpus of Arabic documents datable to the 11th and 12th centuries AD that were discovered by the Egypt Exploration Society at the site of the Nubian fortress Qaṣr Ibrīm (situated in the south of modern Egypt). The edition of the documents is accompanied by English translations and a detailed analysis of their contents and historical background. The documents throw new light on relations between Egypt and Nubia in the High Middle Ages, especially in the Fatimid period. They are of particular importance since previous historical studies from the perspective of Arabic sources have been almost entirely based on historiographical sources, often written a long time after the events described and distorted by tendentious points of view. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0391_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112303 06 15 9781805112310 06 15 9781805112327 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0391 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0391.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:d5d0c3a7-9a00-49b7-8faf-61541d4677b4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d5d0c3a7-9a00-49b7-8faf-61541d4677b4 15 9781805114949 06 10.11647/OBP.0445 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Arabic in Context Essays on Language, Dialects, and Culture in Honour of Martin R.

Zammit. It celebrates his extensive contributions to the fields of Semitic Studies, Arabic linguistics, and comparative Semitic philology.Spanning decades of dedicated research and teaching, Professor Zammit’s career has been marked by a profound engagement with the Arabic language and its diverse dialects, as well as its historical and cultural intersections with Maltese and Syriac. The volume features a carefully curated collection of essays authored by distinguished scholars, reflecting the breadth and depth of Professor Zammit’s academic interests. Topics range from Arabic dialectology and phonetics to linguistic contact phenomena and the grammaticalisation processes in Semitic languages. Contributions explore the linguistic heritage of Central Asia, the Judeo-Arabic traditions of Libya and Syria, and the influences of Arabic on Maltese toponymy and idiomatic expressions. Together, these studies exemplify the rich interdisciplinarity and intellectual rigour that characterise Professor Zammit’s work. This Festschrift not only honours Professor Zammit’s enduring scholarly impact but also serves as a vital resource for linguists, philologists, and researchers in the fields of Arabic and Semitic studies. It stands as a testament to his dedication to fostering academic inquiry and dialogue, inspiring both colleagues and students alike. This volume ensures that his scholarly contributions will continue to influence and inform the field for years to come. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0445_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114925 06 15 9781805114932 06 15 9781805114949 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0445 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0445.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:69c69fef-ab46-45ab-96d5-d7c4e5d4bce4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:69c69fef-ab46-45ab-96d5-d7c4e5d4bce4 15 9781800640610 06 10.11647/OBP.0238 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Global Communications 01 01 Arab Media Systems 1 B01 21 0000-0003-0061-243X Carola Richter 2 B01 21 0000-0002-2447-8485 Claudia Kozman 01 eng 00 416 03 12 1FB 10 LAN008000 20 media systems 04 P92.A65 20 Arab world 12 JFD 10 SOC052000 10 HIS003000 20 history 12 J 12 KNTJ 20 politics 20 society 20 economy 20 media 20 Middle East 20 North Africa 20 government 20 technology 20 media ownership models 20 transnational mobility 20 law 20 ownership patterns 20 infrastructure 20 diversity 20 religion 20 languages 20 overview 20 journalism 20 communication studies 20 political science 20 sociology 20 anthropology 01 06 03 00 This volume provides a comparative analysis of media systems in the Arab world, based on criteria informed by the historical, political, social, and economic factors influencing a country’s media. Reaching beyond classical western media system typologies, 'Arab Media Systems' brings together contributions from experts in the field of media in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to provide valuable insights into the heterogeneity of this region’s media systems. It focuses on trends in government stances towards media, media ownership models, technological innovation, and the role of transnational mobility in shaping media structure and practices.Each chapter in the volume traces a specific country’s media – from Lebanon to Morocco – and assesses its media system in terms of historical roots, political and legal frameworks, media economy and ownership patterns, technology and infrastructure, and social factors (including diversity and equality in gender, age, ethnicities, religions, and languages).This book is a welcome contribution to the field of media studies, constituting the only edited collection in recent years to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of Arab media systems. As such, it will be of great use to students and scholars in media, journalism and communication studies, as well as political scientists, sociologists, and anthropologists with an interest in the MENA region.This volume provides a comparative analysis of media systems in the Arab world, based on criteria informed by the historical, political, social, and economic factors influencing a country’s media.

Basem Adi draws on critical realism to thoroughly re-examine fundamental assumptions about how government policymaking works, developing an ontological basis from which to examine existing government approaches and imagine an alternative approach based on a relational realist-informed critical pedagogy.Adi casts familiar issues in a new light by drawing on a less familiar theoretical and meta-theoretical tradition, offering a critique that can be productively engaged with by many educational organizations to tackle the issues they face.A Relational Realist Vision for Education Policy and Practice will be of great interest to academics of sociology, critical realism, sociological theory and education, as well as policymakers and educators seeking a theoretical perspective on their work. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0327_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648982 06 15 9781800648999 06 15 9781800649002 06 15 9781800649040 06 15 9781800649033 06 15 9781800649019 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0327.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0327 99 04 urn:uuid:2731819e-7b4a-456c-a737-25080105ef6f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2731819e-7b4a-456c-a737-25080105ef6f 15 9781805115274 06 10.11647/OBP.0452 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Careful Village and Other 'Khashag' from Tibet The Amdo Comedies of Menla Jyab 1 A01 Menla Jyab 2 Z01 21 0000-0002-3671-641X Timothy Thurston 3 Z01 21 0000-0001-5468-2180 Tsering Samdrup 4 B01 21 0000-0002-3671-641X Timothy Thurston 5 B01 21 0000-0001-5468-2180 Tsering Samdrup 01 eng 00 328 03 93 ATY 04 PL3748.S58 10 SOC002010 20 Tibetan cultural revival 93 JHMC 20 Khashag spoken dialogues 10 PER011020 93 DSA 10 LIT008000 20 Menla Jyab comedies 10 HIS008000 93 NHF 20 Tibetan expressive culture 93 CFB 10 LAN009050 20 Post-Mao Tibetan literature 93 AVA 20 Cross-cultural performance analysis 10 MUS015000 01 06 03 00 This volume offers a unique glimpse into the world of khashag, a vibrant genre of Tibetan spoken comic dialogues from the area Tibetans call Amdo, with the first ever publication of 11 annotated translations of scripts by its leading performer, Menla Jyab. Emerging in the 1980s during a period of cultural revival in Tibetan communities, khashag fused traditional Tibetan expression with influences from Han Chinese xiangsheng (crosstalk), evolving into a medium of sharp societal critique and joyous entertainment. Menla Jyab, a pioneering performer, used his platform in radio, television, to craft comedies described as ‘having meaning in every line’. Drawing on a decade and a half of Tim Thurston’s research and his and Tsering Samdrup’s close connections with Menla Jyab, this groundbreaking work brings these culturally significant performances to English-speaking audiences for the first time. This richly contextualized volume explores the genre’s linguistic intricacies, performative brilliance, and cultural resonance, highlighting its role in overcoming literacy barriers to reach a broad audience. The translations, based on published scripts and transcribed recordings, are accompanied by insightful notes that illuminate the subtle interplay of humor, critique, and identity in Tibetan life. Careful Village is an indispensable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Tibetan culture, performance studies, and oral traditions. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0452_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115250 06 15 9781805115267 06 15 9781805115274 06 15 9781805115298 06 15 9781805115281 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0452.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0452 99 04 urn:uuid:43ce0bbc-c329-4772-8fe0-bc4046334ae4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:43ce0bbc-c329-4772-8fe0-bc4046334ae4 15 9781805116752 06 10.11647/OBP.0482 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 'Casina' by Plautus An Annotated Latin Text, with a Prose Translation 1 Z01 Catherine Tracy 01 eng 00 237 03 93 2ADL 10 FOR016000 04 PA6568.C4 20 Plautus, Titus Maccius 93 CJ 10 DRA006000 20 Latin drama (Comedy) 93 DBSG 10 LAN009010 20 Women – Rome 93 DSBB 20 Latin language 10 LIT004190 10 EDU029050 20 Rome (Republic) 10 HIS002010 20 Palliata 01 06 03 00 'Casina' was written for audiences in ancient Rome, but tells the story of an Athenian man and his son competing for the affections of a young enslaved woman who was brought up in their household. Deception, disguise, and domestic conflict unfold as the old man’s schemes are cleverly thwarted by his wife. Likely one of Plautus’s later works, 'Casina' offers both linguistic challenge and comic brilliance, making it ideal for classroom use or independent study.This edition features the complete Latin text of the play, richly annotated with grammatical and vocabulary notes to support comprehension. A clear prose translation accompanies the original, offering accessible insight into the humor and intrigue of the play. The introduction provides historical and cultural context, situating the farce within ancient Athenian and Roman comedic traditions. This volume is designed for students with intermediate Latin skills who wish to engage directly with Plautus’s lively comic play. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0482_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Bishop's University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116738 06 15 9781805116745 06 15 9781805116752 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0482.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0482 99 04 urn:uuid:35194e59-fa50-4192-86d2-b7a99c680312 03 01 01 urn:uuid:35194e59-fa50-4192-86d2-b7a99c680312 15 9781800648517 06 10.11647/OBP.0320 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Chance Encounters A Bioethics for a Damaged Planet 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1062-7918 Kristien Hens 2 Z01 Christina Stadlbauer 3 Z01 Bart H.M.

As well as ethical, their role is conceptual: they can improve the quality and coherence of scientific research by ensuring that particular concepts are used consistently and thoughtfully across interdisciplinary projects. Hens argues that chance and uncertainty play a central part in bioethics, but that these qualities can be in tension with the attempt to establish a given theory as scientific knowledge: in describing organisms and practices, in a sense we create the world. Hens contends that this is necessarily an ethical activity.Examining genetic research, biomedical ethics, autism research and the concept of risk, Hens illustrates that there is no ‘universal’ or ‘neutral’ state of scientific and clinical knowledge, and that attending to the situatedness of individual experience is essential to understand the world around us, to know its (and our) limitations, and to forge an ethical future.Chance Encounters is aimed at a broad audience of researchers in bioethics, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, as well as biomedical and environmental scientists. It will also be relevant to policymakers, and the artwork by Christina Stadlbauer and Bartaku will be of interest to artists and writers working at the intersection of art and science. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0320_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800648494 06 15 9781800648500 06 15 9781800648517 06 15 9781800648555 06 15 9781800648548 06 15 9781800648524 06 15 9781800648531 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0320.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0320 99 04 urn:uuid:6f57b880-de4e-4ebe-841c-ae0164f07dd9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6f57b880-de4e-4ebe-841c-ae0164f07dd9 15 9781800642508 06 10.11647/OBP.0283 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Characters in Film and Other Media Theory, Analysis, Interpretation 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1937-5999 Jens Eder 2 Z01 21 0000-0003-1937-5999 Jens Eder 3 Z01 Stephen Lowry 01 eng 00 874 03 12 AP 20 Character Theory 93 JHBC 04 PN1995.9.C36 10 SOC024000 12 APFA 93 ATFN 20 Film and Photography 10 PER004060 12 APFD 93 ATFA 20 Film Analysis 10 PER004030 20 Media Characters 20 Psychological Representation 20 Cultural Symbols 20 Emotional Responses 01 06 03 00 Characters are central to the creation and experience of films and other media. Their cultural significance is profound, but they also raise a wide range of questions.This book provides a comprehensive theory that guides the analysis and interpretation of characters across four dimensions: as represented beings with physical, psychological, and social characteristics; as artefacts with aesthetic structures; as meaningful symbols; and as symptoms of socio-cultural origins and effects. Integrating insights from film, media, and literary studies as well as philosophy, psychology and sociology, the book offers a broad range of approaches for understanding characters and the emotional responses they evoke.

Offering detailed studies of a selection of the printers, types of publication, and places of publication that constituted the cheap and popular print trade during the period, these essays delve into ballads, slip songs, story books, pictures, and more to push back against neat divisions between low and high culture, or popular and high literature.The breadth and depth of the contributions give a much fuller and more nuanced picture of what was being widely published and read during this period than has previously been available. It will be of great value to scholars and students of eighteenth-century popular culture and literature, print history and the book trade, ballad and folk studies, children’s literature, and social history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0347_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110392 06 15 9781805110408 06 15 9781805110415 06 15 9781805110453 06 15 9781805110446 06 15 9781805110422 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0347.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0347 99 04 urn:uuid:7fe53b7d-a76c-4257-ad4f-e9cc0f7297c1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7fe53b7d-a76c-4257-ad4f-e9cc0f7297c1 15 9781800640191 06 10.11647/OBP.0223 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Applied Theatre Praxis 01 01 Chronicles from Kashmir An Annotated, Multimedia Script 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6864-692X Nandita Dinesh 01 eng 00 252 03 12 AN 20 Chronicles from Kashmir 10 DRA005000 04 PN1590.S6 12 ANF 20 site-adaptive 10 SOC002010 12 JH 10 SOC053000 20 theatrical performance 20 Ensemble Kashmir Theatre Akademi 12 JPWS 12 JWXK 20 Kashmir 20 EKTA 20 Bhawani Bashir Yasir 01 06 03 00 What is happening in Kashmir?’Chronicles from Kashmir explores this question through a site-adaptive 24-hour theatrical performance. Developed between 2013 and 2018 by the Ensemble Kashmir Theatre Akademi and Nandita Dinesh, the play uses a durational, promenade format to immerse its audience within a multitude of perspectives on life in Kashmir. From a wedding celebration that is interrupted by curfew, to schoolboys divided by policing strategies, and soldiers struggling with a toxic mixture of boredom and trauma, Chronicles from Kashmir uses performance, installation and collaborative creation to grapple with Kashmir’s conflicts through the lenses of outsiders, insiders, and everyone in between.Due to varying degrees of censorship and suppression, the play has not been performed live since 2017. This book is, therefore, an attempt to keep Chronicles from Kashmir alive by including filmed scenes, a script, contextual questions, a glossary, and illuminating introductions by Nandita Dinesh and EKTA founder Bhawani Bashir Yasir. A valuable Open Access resource for practitioners, educators and students of performance and conflict, this book is also stimulating reading for anybody who has asked, ‘What is happening in Kashmir?’This playscript includes: Twenty filmed scenes of the play in performance<break/> A range of contextual questions to stimulate discussion on staging site-adaptive theatre in places of conflict<break/> A helpful glossary 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0223_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781800640177 06 15 9781800640184 06 15 9781800640191 06 15 9781800646285 06 15 9781800640221 06 15 9781800640207 06 15 9781800640214 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0223.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0223 99 04 urn:uuid:c5fe7f09-7dfb-4637-82c8-653a6cb683e7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c5fe7f09-7dfb-4637-82c8-653a6cb683e7 15 9781906924553 06 10.11647/OBP.0016 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 10 01 02 Classics Textbooks 01 01 Cicero, Against Verres, 2.1.53–86 Latin Text with Introduction, Study Questions, Commentary and English Translation 1 A01 Ingo Gildenhard 01 eng 00 212 03 12 HBLA1 10 HIS002020 20 Latin 04 PA6279.A4 20 A-Level Latin 12 CFP 10 LIT004190 12 4KL 20 Ancient Rome 10 FOR033000 20 rhetoric 20 Ancient History 20 legal history 20 Latin textbook 20 language 20 Latin commentary 20 translation 20 Cicero 20 interactive textbook 20 Roman law 01 06 03 00 Looting, despoiling temples, attempted rape and judicial murder: these are just some of the themes of this classic piece of writing by one of the world’s greatest orators. This particular passage is from the second book of Cicero’s Speeches against Verres, who was a former Roman magistrate on trial for serious misconduct. Cicero presents the lurid details of Verres’ alleged crimes in exquisite and sophisticated prose. This volume provides a portion of the original text of Cicero’s speech in Latin, a detailed commentary, study aids, and a translation. As a literary artefact, the speech gives us insight into how the supreme master of Latin eloquence developed what we would now call rhetorical "spin”. As an historical document, it provides a window into the dark underbelly of Rome’s imperial expansion and exploitation of the Near East. Ingo Gildenhard’s illuminating commentary on this A-Level set text will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both high school and undergraduate level. It will also be a valuable resource to Latin teachers and to anyone interested in Cicero, language and rhetoric, and the legal culture of Ancient Rome. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0016_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2011 06 15 9781906924539 06 15 9781906924546 06 15 9781906924553 06 15 9781800644434 06 15 9781906924638 06 15 9781906924645 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0016.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0016 99 04 urn:uuid:a03ba4d1-1576-41d0-9e8b-d74eccb682e2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a03ba4d1-1576-41d0-9e8b-d74eccb682e2 15 9781783740796 06 10.11647/OBP.0045 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Classics Textbooks 01 01 Cicero, On Pompey's Command (De Imperio), 27-49 Latin Text, Study Aids with Vocabulary, Commentary, and Translation 1 A01 Ingo Gildenhard 2 A01 Louise Hodgson 01 eng 00 292 03 20 Cicero 04 DG258 12 HBLA1 10 LIT004190 12 CFP 10 FOR033000 20 Pompey 12 4KL 20 De Imperio 10 HIS002020 20 Pirates 20 Ancient Rome 20 Roman Republic 01 06 03 00 In republican times, one of Rome's deadliest enemies was King Mithridates of Pontus. In 66 BCE, after decades of inconclusive struggle, the tribune Manilius proposed a bill that would give supreme command in the war against Mithridates to Pompey the Great, who had just swept the Mediterranean clean of another menace: the pirates. While powerful aristocrats objected to the proposal, which would endow Pompey with unprecedented powers, the bill proved hugely popular among the people, and one of the praetors, Marcus Tullius Cicero, also hastened to lend it his support. In his first ever political speech, variously entitled pro lege Manilia or de imperio Gnaei Pompei, Cicero argues that the war against Mithridates requires the appointment of a perfect general and that the only man to live up to such lofty standards is Pompey. In the section under consideration here, Cicero defines the most important hallmarks of the ideal military commander and tries to demonstrate that Pompey is his living embodiment. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and a commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, the incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both AS and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis and historical background to encourage critical engagement with Cicero's prose and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0045_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740772 06 15 9781783740789 06 15 9781783740796 06 15 9781800644724 06 15 9781783740802 06 15 9781783740819 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0045.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0045 99 04 urn:uuid:7e753cbc-c74b-4214-a565-2300f544be77 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7e753cbc-c74b-4214-a565-2300f544be77 15 9781783745913 06 10.11647/OBP.0156 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Classics Textbooks 01 01 Cicero, Philippic 2, 44–50, 78–92, 100–119 Latin Text, Study Aids with Vocabulary, and Commentary 1 A01 Ingo Gildenhard 01 eng 00 488 03 20 Cicero 12 DB 10 LIT004190 04 PA6280.A32 12 HBLA1 10 LIT025030 20 Philippics 12 4KL 20 Julius Caesar 12 CFP 20 Mark Antony 20 the Senate 20 rhetoric 20 original Latin text 20 vocabulary aids 20 study questions 20 commentary 20 A-Level 01 06 03 00 Cicero composed his incendiary Philippics only a few months after Rome was rocked by the brutal assassination of Julius Caesar. In the tumultuous aftermath of Caesar’s death, Cicero and Mark Antony found themselves on opposing sides of an increasingly bitter and dangerous battle for control. Philippic 2 was a weapon in that war.<break/>Conceived as Cicero’s response to a verbal attack from Antony in the Senate, Philippic 2 is a rhetorical firework that ranges from abusive references to Antony’s supposedly sordid sex life to a sustained critique of what Cicero saw as Antony’s tyrannical ambitions. Vituperatively brilliant and politically committed, it is both a carefully crafted literary artefact and an explosive example of crisis rhetoric. It ultimately led to Cicero’s own gruesome death.<break/>This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, vocabulary aids, study questions, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard’s volume will be of particular interest to students of Latin studying for A-Level or on undergraduate courses. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Cicero, his oratory, the politics of late-republican Rome, and the transhistorical import of Cicero’s politics of verbal (and physical) violence. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0156_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 King's College, University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783745890 06 15 9781783745906 06 15 9781783745913 06 15 9781800645745 06 15 9781783746255 06 15 9781783745920 06 15 9781783745937 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0156 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0156.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:60ca9f14-9160-4674-b20b-cb35778ea983 03 01 01 urn:uuid:60ca9f14-9160-4674-b20b-cb35778ea983 15 9781800641488 06 10.11647/OBP.0247 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Circulation and Control Artistic Culture and Intellectual Property in the Nineteenth Century 1 B01 Marie-Stéphanie Delamaire 2 B01 Will Slauter 01 eng 00 542 03 04 K1420.5 10 LAW050010 12 LNR 20 production of images 20 circulation of images 10 HIS000000 12 LNRC 12 KNTP 20 lithographs 10 PHO000000 10 BIO001000 20 engravings 12 HBTB 12 AV 20 paintings 12 BGF 20 dagerreotypes 12 APF 20 stereoscopic view 12 AJ 20 sculpture 20 visual art 20 copyright 20 patents 20 art history 20 law 20 publishing 20 graphic arts 20 intellectual property 20 culture 20 economics 20 technology 20 nineteenth century 20 history 01 06 03 00 The nineteenth century witnessed a series of revolutions in the production and circulation of images. From lithographs and engraved reproductions of paintings to daguerreotypes, stereoscopic views, and mass-produced sculptures, works of visual art became available in a wider range of media than ever before. But the circulation and reproduction of artworks also raised new questions about the legal rights of painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers, architects, collectors, publishers, and subjects of representation (such as sitters in paintings or photographs). Copyright and patent laws tussled with informal cultural norms and business strategies as individuals and groups attempted to exert some degree of control over these visual creations. With contributions by art historians, legal scholars, historians of publishing, and specialists of painting, photography, sculpture, and graphic arts, this rich collection of essays explores the relationship between intellectual property laws and the cultural, economic, and technological factors that transformed the pictorial landscape during the nineteenth century.This book will be valuable reading for historians of art and visual culture; legal scholars who work on the history of copyright and patent law; and literary scholars and historians who work in the field of book history. It will also resonate with anyone interested in current debates about the circulation and control of images in our digital age. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0247_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library 16 French National Centre for Scientific Research Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641464 06 15 9781800641471 06 15 9781800641488 06 15 9781800646452 06 15 9781800641518 06 15 9781800641495 06 15 9781800641501 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0247.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0247 99 04 urn:uuid:030fd82f-e32b-4905-923d-9e1f3c470e3f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:030fd82f-e32b-4905-923d-9e1f3c470e3f 15 9781805115588 06 10.11647/OBP.0459 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 City of Capital and Labour The Making and Transformation of Industrial Manchester 1 A01 Tom Saunders 01 eng 00 334 03 93 3ML 10 HIS037050 04 HN398.M27 20 Industrial Revolution 93 AM 10 HIS037060 20 Manchester architecture 93 AMVD 10 ARC005070 20 Urban transformation 10 ARC014000 20 Social history 93 TNKX 20 Built environment 10 SOC026030 20 Class relations 10 SOC050000 01 06 03 00 This compelling book explores the evolution of industrial Manchester, offering a fresh perspective on its built environment through the lens of architecture, archaeology, and social history. Richly illustrated and designed for both academic and general audiences, it sheds new light on Manchester’s transformation during the Industrial Revolution, highlighting how the city’s physical form shaped and was shaped by its socio-economic and cultural dynamics.By analysing architectural styles, building types, land use, and spatial relationships, the study identifies distinct phases of development from the early eighteenth to early twentieth century. It delves into how Manchester’s material landscape mediated industrialisation and social tensions, reflecting the emergence of both bourgeois and proletarian communities. The book argues that the city’s evolving physical structure was deeply intertwined with the capitalist logic of class relations, where architecture and urban spaces became arenas for competing social identities.Through mapping the enduring physical traces of these changes, and using a Marxist lens to examine shifting power structures in cities, the book underscores Manchester’s role as a microcosm of industrial and urban transformation. It invites readers to rediscover the city’s industrial heritage, emphasising the importance of its historic buildings in understanding the socio-economic forces that shaped modern urban life—before they are irrevocably altered by contemporary redevelopment. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0459_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115564 06 15 9781805115571 06 15 9781805115588 06 15 9781805115601 06 15 9781805115595 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0459 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0459.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:fd4d3c2a-355f-4bc0-83cb-1cd6764976e7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fd4d3c2a-355f-4bc0-83cb-1cd6764976e7 15 9781800641150 06 10.11647/OBP.0242 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Classical Music Contemporary Perspectives and Challenges 1 B01 Michael Beckerman 2 B01 Paul Boghossian 01 eng 00 252 03 12 AVA 20 classical music 04 ML3916 10 MUS006000 12 AVGC4 20 composers 10 MUS020000 12 AVH 10 MUS007000 20 musicians 20 twenty-first century 20 performers 20 academics 20 journalists 20 arts administrators 20 traditions 20 challenges 20 diversity 20 governance 20 identity 20 perception 20 challenges 20 financial stability 20 non-profit arts organizations 20 case studies 01 06 03 00 This kaleidoscopic collection reflects on the multifaceted world of classical music as it advances through the twenty-first century. With insights drawn from leading composers, performers, academics, journalists, and arts administrators, special focus is placed on classical music’s defining traditions, challenges and contemporary scope. Innovative in structure and approach, the volume comprises two parts. The first provides detailed analyses of issues central to classical music in the present day, including diversity, governance, the identity and perception of classical music, and the challenges facing the achievement of financial stability in non-profit arts organizations. The second part offers case studies, from Miami to Seoul, of the innovative ways in which some arts organizations have responded to the challenges analyzed in the first part. Introductory material, as well as several of the essays, provide some preliminary thoughts about the impact of the crisis year 2020 on the world of classical music.Classical Music: Contemporary Perspectives and Challenges will be a valuable and engaging resource for all readers interested in the development of the arts and classical music, especially academics, arts administrators and organizers, and classical music practitioners and audiences.<break/> 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0242_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641136 06 15 9781800641143 06 15 9781800641150 06 15 9781800646421 06 15 9781800641181 06 15 9781800641167 06 15 9781800641174 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0242.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0242 99 04 urn:uuid:e94b6342-2de7-4160-b25b-ee17eda7bd61 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e94b6342-2de7-4160-b25b-ee17eda7bd61 15 9781805110750 06 10.11647/OBP.0353 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Classical Music Futures Practices of Innovation 1 B01 Neil Thomas Smith 2 B01 Peter Peters 3 B01 Karoly Molina 01 eng 00 430 03 12 AVA 93 AVLA 20 Classical music 10 MUS006000 12 AVGC 93 AVM 20 Innovations 10 MUS020000 93 AVA 12 AVGC4 20 Interdisciplinary 10 MUS041000 20 Decolonization of classical music 12 YQB 20 Technology 20 Community engagement 01 06 03 00 This volume brings together contributions from a wide range of international academics and practitioners.

A rich balance of theoretical and practical discussion brings authority to this collection, which lays the foundations for timely responses to challenges ranging from the concept of the musical work, and the colonial values within Western musical culture, to unsustainable models of orchestral touring. The authors highlight how labour to meet the demands of particular futures for classical music might impact its creation and consumption, presenting case studies to capture the mediating roles of technology and community engagement.This book will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of musicology and the sociology of music, as well as a general audience of practitioners, freelance musicians, music administrators and educators. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0353_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Maastricht University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805110736 06 15 9781805110743 06 15 9781805110750 06 15 9781805110798 06 15 9781805110767 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0353.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0353 99 04 urn:uuid:9ea10b68-b23c-4562-b0ca-03ba548889a3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9ea10b68-b23c-4562-b0ca-03ba548889a3 15 9781906924140 06 10.11647/OBP.0005 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 Coleridge's Laws A Study of Coleridge in Malta 1 A01 Barry Hough 2 A01 Howard Davis 3 Z01 Lydia Davis 4 Z01 Micheal John Kooy 01 eng 00 405 03 10 BIO007000 12 LAZ 04 PR4483 20 Samuel Taylor Coleridge 12 BGL 10 HIS037020 20 Malta 10 LAW060000 20 Romantic literature 20 legal history 20 colonialism 20 Maltese history 20 British imperial history 20 nineteenth century 20 Romanticism 20 political history 20 colonial government 01 06 03 00 Samuel Taylor Coleridge is best known as a great poet and literary theorist, but for one, quite short, period of his life he held real political power — acting as Public Secretary to the British Civil Commissioner in Malta in 1805. This was a formative experience for Coleridge which he later identified as being one of the most instructive in his entire life. In this book, Barry Hough and Howard Davis show how Coleridge's actions whilst in a position of power differ markedly from the idealism he had advocated before taking office — shedding new light on Coleridge's sense of political and legal morality. Meticulously researched and including newly discovered archival materials, Coleridge's Laws provides detailed analysis of the laws and public notices drafted by Coleridge, together with the first published translations of them. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Hough and Davis identify the political challenges facing Coleridge and reveal that, in attempting to win over the Maltese public to support Britain's strategic interests, Coleridge was complicit in acts of government which were both inconsistent with the rule of law and contrary to his professed beliefs. Coleridge's willingness to overlook accepted legal processes and personal misgivings for political expediency is disturbing and, as explained by Michael John Kooy in his extensive introduction, necessarily alters our understanding of the author and his writing. Coleridge's Laws contributes in new ways to the current debates about Coleridge's achievements, British colonialism and its engagement with the rule of law, nationhood and the effectiveness of the British administration of Malta. It provides essential reading for anybody interested in Coleridge specifically and the Romantics more generally, for political and legal historians and for students of colonial government. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0005_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2010 06 15 9781906924126 06 15 9781906924133 06 15 9781906924140 06 15 9781800644328 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0005.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0005 99 04 urn:uuid:c9f10a55-e6ec-475b-aabf-2acef4eb92c2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c9f10a55-e6ec-475b-aabf-2acef4eb92c2 15 9781805114840 06 10.11647/OBP.0443 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Color, Healthcare and Bioethics 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3224-7943 Henk ten Have 01 eng 00 244 03 20 Color and Healthcare 93 PSAD 10 SCI036000 20 Bioethics and Perception 93 JM 10 SCI075000 93 AGZC 10 PHI005000 20 Psychology of Color 93 ABA 10 MED000000 20 Medical Aesthetics 20 Ethics of Visual Perception 93 M 10 PSY013000 10 ART007000 20 Emotional Impact of Color 01 06 03 00 This book explores the profound, yet often overlooked, role of color in healthcare and bioethics, arguing that color is far more than a visual or aesthetic element—it actively shapes human experience, perception, and ethical reasoning. Traditionally regarded as secondary to objective medical observations or rational ethical debates, color has been marginalized in these fields, considered subjective and inconsequential. However, this book reveals that color is critical in diagnostic and therapeutic practices and that it subconsciously influences moral interpretations in bioethics. Through examples like the ‘blue hour’—a time of day associated with melancholy and creativity—readers are invited to consider color not just as a physical phenomenon explained by wavelengths and visual physiology, but as a medium rich with emotional and metaphorical meaning. From ‘feeling blue’ to seeing the world in ‘black and white’, color conveys complex messages that inform our perceptions of health, morality, and identity. By bridging the gap between science, emotion, and ethics, this book illuminates how colors impact our worldviews, urging readers to consider the subtle yet significant ways that color influences our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0443_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114826 06 15 9781805114833 06 15 9781805114840 06 15 9781805114864 06 15 9781805114857 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0443.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0443 99 04 urn:uuid:98776400-e985-488d-a3f1-9d88879db3cf 03 01 01 urn:uuid:98776400-e985-488d-a3f1-9d88879db3cf 15 9781783741144 06 10.11647/OBP.0059 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Complexity, Security and Civil Society in East Asia Foreign Policies and the Korean Peninsula 1 B01 Peter Hayes 2 B01 Kiho Yi 01 eng 00 470 03 20 Civil society 12 JPSD 10 POL011010 04 UA832.5 12 1FP 20 civic diplomacy 10 POL054000 12 JPSF 20 nuclear weapons 20 urban insecurity 20 energy 20 climate change 20 China 20 Korea 20 Japan 01 06 03 00 Complexity, Security and Civil Society in East Asia offers the latest understanding of complex global problems including nuclear weapons, urban insecurity, energy, and climate change in the region. Detailed case studies in China, North and South Korea, and Japan demonstrate the importance of civil society and 'civic diplomacy' in reaching shared solutions to these problems in East Asia and beyond. Each chapter describes regional civil society initiatives that tackle complex challenges to East Asia’s security. In so doing the book presents key pressure points at which civil society can push for constructive changes ― especially ones that reduce the North Korean threat to its neighbors. Unusually, this book is both theoretical and practical. Complexity, Security and Civil Society in East Asia identifies strategies that can be led by civil society and negotiated by its diplomats to realize peace, security and sustainability worldwide. It shows that networked civic diplomacy offers solutions to these urgent issues in ways that official ‘complex diplomacy’ cannot. By providing a new theoretical framework based on empirical observation, the book is a must read for diplomats, scholars, students, journalists, activists and individual readers seeking insight into how to solve the crucial issues of our time. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0059_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741120 06 15 9781783741137 06 15 9781783741144 06 15 9781800644861 06 15 9781783746446 06 15 9781783741151 06 15 9781783741168 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0059.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0059 99 04 urn:uuid:296c6880-6212-48d2-b327-2c13b6e28d5f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:296c6880-6212-48d2-b327-2c13b6e28d5f 15 9781783747528 06 10.11647/OBP.0177 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Conservation Biology in Sub-Saharan Africa 1 A01 21 0000-0002-7230-1449 John W.

This comprehensive synthesis of global scientific evidence examines the effectiveness of conservation and restoration actions targeting stony, soft and cold-water coral species inhabiting a diverse range of marine habitats in tropical, temperate and arctic waters from shallow coasts to the deep sea. Addressing the urgent threats posed by climate change, invasive species, overfishing, and habitat destruction, this work summarizes evidence from actions in three core themes: protecting healthy reefs, mitigating human impacts, and undertaking active restoration. From establishing Marine Protected Areas to innovative techniques like coral gardening, the synopsis summarizes the evidence for practical actions and offers insights into their outcomes and applicability.Designed to guide decision-makers—resource managers, conservationists, policymakers, and local advocates—as well as those curious to learn about actions that could help corals, this accessible guide provides succinct information to support evidence-based conservation. By identifying the existing evidence and highlighting gaps in the knowledge, Coral Conservation can support practitioners and policymakers to allocate resources effectively by prioritising actions that work. By doing more of what works, we can reverse the loss of coral species and restore these vital habitats for the benefit of current and future generations.The authors consulted an international group of coral experts and conservationists to produce this synopsis.

Trasimene. Cannae. With three stunning victories, Hannibal humbled Rome and nearly shattered its empire. Even today Hannibal's brilliant, if ultimately unsuccessful, campaign against Rome during the Second Punic War (218-202 BC) make him one of history's most celebrated military leaders. This biography by Cornelius Nepos (c. 100-27 BC) sketches Hannibal's life from the time he began traveling with his father's army as a young boy, through his sixteen-year invasion of Italy and his tumultuous political career in Carthage, to his perilous exile and eventual suicide in the East.As Rome completed its bloody transition from dysfunctional republic to stable monarchy, Nepos labored to complete an innovative and influential collection of concise biographies. Putting aside the detailed, chronological accounts of military campaigns and political machinations that characterized most writing about history, Nepos surveyed Roman and Greek history for distinguished men who excelled in a range of prestigious occupations. In the exploits and achievements of these illustrious men, Nepos hoped that his readers would find models for the honorable conduct of their own lives. Although most of Nepos' works have been lost, we are fortunate to have his biography of Hannibal. Nepos offers a surprisingly balanced portrayal of a man that most Roman authors vilified as the most monstrous foe that Rome had ever faced.Nepos' straightforward style and his preference for common vocabulary make Life of Hannibal accessible for those who are just beginning to read continuous Latin prose, while the historical interest of the subject make it compelling for readers of every ability.This book contains embedded audio files of the original text read aloud by Christopher Francese. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0068_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741328 06 15 9781783741335 06 15 9781783741342 06 15 9781800644946 06 15 9781783746392 06 15 9781783741359 06 15 9781783741366 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0068.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0068 99 04 urn:uuid:6c86acc9-89a0-4b17-bcdd-520d33fc4f54 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6c86acc9-89a0-4b17-bcdd-520d33fc4f54 15 9781783749317 06 10.11647/OBP.0206 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Creative Multilingualism A Manifesto 1 B01 21 0000-0002-3485-5037 Katrin Kohl 2 B01 21 0000-0002-0295-724X Rajinder Dudrah 3 B01 21 0000-0002-8074-8064 Andrew Gosler 4 B01 21 0000-0002-7743-3977 Suzanne Graham 5 B01 Martin Maiden 6 B01 21 0000-0002-3356-7391 Wen-chin Ouyang 01 eng 00 334 03 12 C 10 EDU000000 20 Multilingualism 04 P115 12 CB 20 human condition 10 LAN000000 12 CF 20 Creative Multilingualism 10 LAN009000 12 CFDM 20 language 20 humanities 20 social sciences 20 natural sciences 01 06 03 00 Multilingualism is integral to the human condition. Hinging on the concept of Creative Multilingualism – the idea that language diversity and creativity are mutually enriching – this timely and thought-provoking volume shows how the concept provides a matrix for experimentation with ideas, approaches and methods.The book presents four years of joint research on Creative Multilingualism conducted across disciplines, from the humanities through to the social and natural sciences. It is structured as a manifesto, comprising ten major statements which are unpacked and explored through various case studies across ten chapters. They encompass areas including the rich relationship between language diversity and diversity of identity, thought and expression; the interaction between language diversity and biodiversity; the ‘prismatic’ unfolding of meaning in translation; the benefits of linguistic creativity in a classroom-setting; and the ingenuity underpinning ‘conlangs’ (‘constructed languages’) such as Tolkien’s Quenya and Sindarin, designed to give imagined peoples a distinctive medium capable of expressing their cultural identity.Creative Multilingualism: A Manifesto is a welcome contribution to the field of modern languages, highlighting the intricate relationship between multilingualism and creativity, and, crucially, reaching beyond an Anglo-centric view of the world.

The sentiment could not be truer of cultural heritage ethics. This intra-disciplinary book bridges the gap between theory and practice by bringing together a stellar cast of academics, activists, consultants, journalists, lawyers, and museum practitioners, each contributing their own expertise to the wider debate of what cultural heritage means in the twenty-first century.Cultural Heritage Ethics provides cutting-edge arguments built on case studies of cultural heritage and its management in a range of geographical and cultural contexts. Moreover, the volume feels the pulse of the debate on heritage ethics by discussing timely issues such as access, acquisition, archaeological practice, curatorship, education, ethnology, historiography, integrity, legislation, memory, museum management, ownership, preservation, protection, public trust, restitution, human rights, stewardship, and tourism.This volume is neither a textbook nor a manifesto for any particular approach to heritage ethics, but a snapshot of different positions and approaches that will inspire both thought and action. Cultural Heritage Ethics provides invaluable reading for students and teachers of philosophy of archaeology, history and moral philosophy – and for anyone interested in the theory and practice of cultural preservation. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0047_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740673 06 15 9781783740680 06 15 9781783740697 06 15 9781800644748 06 15 9781783740703 06 15 9781783740710 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0047 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0047.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:3f8f3736-e9e2-4db6-b232-021e65f952b6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3f8f3736-e9e2-4db6-b232-021e65f952b6 15 9781800649750 06 10.11647/OBP.0339 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Decolonial Ecologies The Reinvention of Natural History in Latin American Art 1 A01 Joanna Page 01 eng 00 296 03 20 contemporary artists 12 HBT 10 HIS000000 04 N6750 12 HBTR 10 HIS024000 20 Latin America 20 collecting nature 10 POL045000 12 WN 12 ABA 10 ART044000 20 organizing nature 12 1KL 20 displaying nature 10 SCI020000 10 HIS054000 20 new aesthetic 12 RNA 20 political perspectives 12 RNT 01 06 03 00 In Decolonial Ecologies: The Reinvention of Natural History in Latin American Art, Joanna Page illuminates the ways in which contemporary artists in Latin America are reinventing historical methods of collecting, organizing, and displaying nature in order to develop new aesthetic and political perspectives on the past and the present.Page brings together an entirely new corpus of artistic projects from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru that engage critically and creatively with forms as diverse as the medieval bestiary, baroque cabinets of curiosities, atlases created by European travellers to the New World, the floras and herbaria composed by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century naturalists, and the dioramas designed for natural history museums. She explores how artists develop decolonial and post-anthropocentric perspectives on the collections and expeditions that were central to the evolution of European natural history. Their works forge a critique of the rationalizing approach to nature taken by modern Western science, reconnecting it with forms of popular, indigenous and spiritual knowledge and experience that it has systematically excluded since the Enlightenment.Drawing on photography, video, illustration, sculpture, and installation, this vividly illustrated and lucidly written book (also available in premium quality in hardback edition) explores how these artworks might also deconstruct the apocalyptic visions of environmental change that often dominate Western thought, developing a renewed understanding of alternative ways in which humans might co-inhabit the natural world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0339_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649736 06 15 9781800649743 06 15 9781800649750 06 15 9781800649798 06 15 9781800649781 06 15 9781800649767 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0339.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0339 99 04 urn:uuid:2b031e1a-678b-4dcb-becb-cbd0f0ce9182 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2b031e1a-678b-4dcb-becb-cbd0f0ce9182 15 9781783743056 06 10.11647/OBP.0108 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Deliberation, Representation, Equity Research Approaches, Tools and Algorithms for Participatory Processes 1 A01 21 0000-0002-0665-1889 Love Ekenberg 2 A01 Karin Hansson 3 A01 21 0000-0001-6502-9670 Mats Danielson 4 A01 Göran Cars 01 eng 00 380 03 10 COM079010 04 JF799 12 JPA 20 Public interaction 20 e-democracy 12 JFF 12 JPHV 20 participatory decision making 20 elicitation 12 UBJ 20 participatory democracy 20 urban planning 20 social policy 20 communication design 20 participatory art 20 decision theory 20 risk analysis and computer sciences 01 06 03 00 What can we learn about the development of public interaction in e-democracy from a drama delivered by mobile headphones to an audience standing around a shopping center in a Stockholm suburb?<break/>In democratic societies there is widespread acknowledgment of the need to incorporate citizens’ input in decision-making processes in more or less structured ways. But participatory decision making is balancing on the borders of inclusion, structure, precision and accuracy. To simply enable more participation will not yield enhanced democracy, and there is a clear need for more elaborated elicitation and decision analytical tools.<break/>This rigorous and thought-provoking volume draws on a stimulating variety of international case studies, from flood risk management in the Red River Delta of Vietnam, to the consideration of alternatives to gold mining in Roșia Montană in Transylvania, to the application of multi-criteria decision analysis in evaluating the impact of e-learning opportunities at Uganda's Makerere University.<break/>Editors Love Ekenberg (senior research scholar, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis [IIASA], Laxenburg, professor of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University), Karin Hansson (artist and research fellow, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University), Mats Danielson (vice president and professor of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University, affiliate researcher, IIASA) and Göran Cars (professor of Societal Planning and Environment, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) draw innovative collaborations between mathematics, social science, and the arts.<break/>They develop new problem formulations and solutions, with the aim of carrying decisions from agenda setting and problem awareness through to feasible courses of action by setting objectives, alternative generation, consequence assessments, and trade-off clarifications.<break/>As a result, this book is important new reading for decision makers in government, public administration and urban planning, as well as students and researchers in the fields of participatory democracy, urban planning, social policy, communication design, participatory art, decision theory, risk analysis and computer and systems sciences. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0108_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743032 06 15 9781783743049 06 15 9781783743056 06 15 9781800645271 06 15 9781783746170 06 15 9781783743063 06 15 9781783743070 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0108.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0108 99 04 urn:uuid:bc253bff-cf00-433d-89a2-031500b888ff 03 01 01 urn:uuid:bc253bff-cf00-433d-89a2-031500b888ff 15 9781783745975 06 10.11647/OBP.0157 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 Delivering on the Promise of Democracy Visual Case Studies in Educational Equity and Transformation 1 A01 Sukhwant Jhaj 01 eng 00 90 03 20 colleges 10 EDU001030 12 JN 04 LC3731 10 EDU008000 12 JNFN 20 universities 10 EDU048000 12 JNK 20 student success 12 1KB 10 EDU036000 20 racial/ethnic disparities 20 socioeconomic disparities 20 National Louis University 20 Delaware State University 20 Florida International University 20 Georgia State University 20 Johnson C.

Sukhwant Jhaj has crafted a refreshing new look at how imaginative leadership and a shift in perspective can propel institutions to reach at-risk or underrepresented members of their communities. Delivering on the Promise of Democracy pulls back the curtain on seven high-performing universities to reveal which daily decisions, including listening to the community, embracing conflict, and implementing effective strategies through routine, guide administrators in achieving exceptional results. Through in-depth interviews that offer a close look at these seven universities, Jhaj traces a new trajectory for higher education: a call to question a university's effectiveness through its accessibility to the community it serves.Jhaj's book will inspire anybody interested in widening access to education with its call to renew their institution's mission through powerful and effective leadership. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0157_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Société française d’étude du XVIIIe siècle Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783745951 06 15 9781783745968 06 15 9781783745975 06 15 9781800645752 06 15 9781783746927 06 15 9781783745982 06 15 9781783745999 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0157 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0157.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:57e78b54-1a77-4f57-8179-87034682ee9e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:57e78b54-1a77-4f57-8179-87034682ee9e 15 9781800642867 06 10.11647/OBP.0269 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Epidicus by Plautus An Annotated Latin Text, with a Prose Translation 1 A01 Catherine Tracy 01 eng 02 lat 00 196 03 12 DB 20 Epidicus 10 LIT004190 04 PA6570.E6 20 comedy 12 HBLA1 10 LIT025030 12 4KL 20 Plautus 12 CFP 20 Latin 20 translation 20 Roman play 01 06 03 00 Epidicus, a light-hearted comedy by Plautus about the machinations of a trickster slave and the inadequacies of his bumbling masters, appears here in both its original Latin and a sparkling new translation by Catherine Tracy. Epidicus, the cunning slave, is charged with finding his master’s illegitimate daughter and the secret girlfriend of his master’s son, but a comedy of mistaken identities and competing interests ensues. Amid the mayhem, Epidicus aims to win his freedom whilst risking some of the grislier punishments the Romans inflicted on their unfortunate slaves.This parallel edition in both Latin and English, with its accessible introduction and comprehensive notes, guides the reader through this popular Roman play. Tracy explores Epidicus’s roots in Greek drama, its rich social resonances for a Roman audience and its life in performance. She transforms Plautus' colloquial Latin poetry into lively modern English prose, illuminating the play’s many comedic references to the world of the Roman republic.This fine introduction to an enduring play will be of great use and enjoyment for undergraduate students of Latin drama and the general reader alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0269_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800642843 06 15 9781800642850 06 15 9781800642867 06 15 9781800646605 06 15 9781800642898 06 15 9781800642874 06 15 9781800642881 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0269.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0269 99 04 urn:uuid:af162e8a-23ab-49e6-896d-e53b9d6c0039 03 01 01 urn:uuid:af162e8a-23ab-49e6-896d-e53b9d6c0039 15 9781783741496 06 10.11647/OBP.0056 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Essays in Conveyancing and Property Law in Honour of Professor Robert Rennie 1 B01 Frankie McCarthy 2 B01 21 0000-0002-5423-8917 James Chalmers 3 B01 Stephen Bogle 01 eng 00 420 03 20 Conveyancing 04 KDC433.A75 10 LAW074000 12 LNS 10 LAW021000 12 LNSH5 20 Property Law 12 LN 20 Professor Robert Rennie 20 Scotland 20 Scottish Law 01 06 03 00 Professor Robert Rennie has been one of the most influential voices in Scots private law over the past thirty years. Highly respected as both an academic and a practitioner, his contribution to the development of property law and practice has been substantial and unique. This volume celebrates his retirement from the Chair of Conveyancing at the University of Glasgow in 2014 with a selection of essays written by his peers and colleagues from the judiciary, academia and legal practice.<break/>Each chapter covers a topic of particular interest to Professor Rennie during his career, from the historical development of property law rules through to the latest developments in conveyancing practice and the evolution of the rules of professional negligence. Although primarily Scottish in focus, the contributions will have much of interest to lawyers in any jurisdiction struggling with similar practical problems, particularly those with similar legal roots including the Netherlands and South Africa. As a whole, the collection is highly recommended to students, practitioners and academics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0056_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Clark Foundation for Legal Education and the School of Law, University of Glasgow Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741472 06 15 9781783741489 06 15 9781783741496 06 15 9781800644830 06 15 9781783746477 06 15 9781783741502 06 15 9781783741519 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0056 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0056.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:98d053d6-dcc2-409a-8841-9f19920b49ee 03 01 01 urn:uuid:98d053d6-dcc2-409a-8841-9f19920b49ee 15 9781783741793 06 10.11647/OBP.0081 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Yeats Annual 01 01 Essays in Honour of Eamonn Cantwell Yeats Annual No. 20 1 B01 Warwick Gould 01 eng 00 505 03 12 DSC 10 LIT014000 04 PR5906 20 William Butler Yeats 20 Ireland 10 LIT004120 20 Irish poetry 10 POE005020 20 Eliot 20 Yeats Annual 20 Warwick Gould 20 Eamonn Cantwell 20 Institute of English Studies 20 rare books 01 06 03 00 This number of Yeats Annual collects the essays resulting from the University College Cork/ESB International Annual W. B. Yeats Lectures Series (2003-2008) by Roy Foster, Warwick Gould, John Kelly, Paul Muldoon, Bernard O’Donoghue and Helen Vendler. Those that were available in pamphlet form are now collectors’ items, but here is the complete series.These revised essays cover such themes as Yeats and the Refrain, Yeats as a Love Poet, Yeats, Ireland and Europe, the puzzles he created and solved with his art of poetic sequences, and his long and crucial interaction with the emerging T. S. Eliot. The series was inaugurated by a study of Yeats and his Books, which marked the gift to the Boole Library, Cork, of Dr Eamonn Cantwell’s collection of rare editions of books by Yeats (here catalogued by Crónán Ó Doibhlin). Many of the volume’s fifty-six plates offer images of artists’ designs and resulting first editions.This bibliographical theme is continued with Colin Smythe’s census of surviving copies of Yeats’s earliest separate publication, Mosada (1886) and a resultant piece by Warwick Gould on that dramatic poem’s source in the legend of the Phantom Ship. John Kelly reveals Yeats’s ghost-writing for Sarah Allgood; Geert Lernout discovers the source for Yeats’s ‘Tulka’, Günther Schmigalle unearths his surprising connexions with American communist colonists in Virginia, while Deirdre Toomey edits some new letters to the French anarchist, Auguste Hamon—all providing new annotation for standard editions. The volume is rounded with review essays by Colin McDowell (on A Vision, and Yeats, Hone and Berkeley), shorter reviews of current studies by Michael Edwards, Jad Adams and Deirdre Toomey, and obituaries of Jon Stallworthy (Nicolas Barker) and Katharine Worth (Richard Cave). 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0081_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783741779 06 15 9781783741786 06 15 9781783741793 06 15 9781800645028 06 15 9781783741809 06 15 9781783741816 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0081 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0081.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:24689aa7-af74-4238-ad75-a9469f094068 03 01 01 urn:uuid:24689aa7-af74-4238-ad75-a9469f094068 15 9781783747580 06 10.11647/OBP.0178 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Essays on Paula Rego Smile When You Think about Hell 1 A01 Maria Manuel Lisboa 01 eng 00 510 03 12 AFC 10 ART037000 04 N7133.R44 20 Paula Rego 12 JFFK 20 Portugual 10 SOC010000 20 artist 12 JPSL 10 POL007000 20 personal history 12 VFVX 01 06 03 00 In these powerful and stylishly written essays, Maria Manuel Lisboa dissects the work of Paula Rego, the Portuguese-born artist considered one of the greatest artists of modern times. Focusing primarily on Rego’s work since the 1980s, Lisboa explores the complex relationships between violence and nurturing, power and impotence, politics and the family that run through Rego’s art.Taking a historicist approach to the evolution of the artist’s work, Lisboa embeds the works within Rego’s personal history as well as Portugal’s (and indeed other nations’) stories, and reveals the interrelationship between political significance and the raw emotion that lies at the heart of Rego’s uncompromising iconographic style. Fundamental to Lisboa’s analysis is an understanding that apparent opposites – male and female, sacred and profane, aggression and submissiveness – often co-exist in Rego’s work in a way that is both disturbing and destabilising.This collection of essays brings together both unpublished and previously published work to make a significant contribution to scholarship about Paula Rego. It will also be of interest to scholars and students of contemporary painting, Portuguese and British feminist art, and the political and ideological aspects of the visual arts. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0178_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747566 06 15 9781783747573 06 15 9781783747580 06 15 9781800645929 06 15 9781783747610 06 15 9781783747597 06 15 9781783747603 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0178.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0178 99 04 urn:uuid:f76ab190-35f4-4136-86dd-d7fa02ccaebb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f76ab190-35f4-4136-86dd-d7fa02ccaebb 15 9781783743902 06 10.11647/OBP.0125 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Ethics for A-Level 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2327-0743 Mark Dimmock 2 A01 Andrew Fisher 01 eng 00 262 03 04 BJ66 12 HPQ 10 PHI005000 20 textbook 20 A-Level 12 HPC 10 PHI031000 10 EDU040000 20 morality 12 YQZ 20 moral theory 20 normative ethics 20 metaethics 20 applied ethics 20 business ethics 20 sexual ethics 20 AQA Philosophy 20 OCR Religious Studies 01 06 03 00 What does pleasure have to do with morality? What role, if any, should intuition have in the formation of moral theory?

Key ideas in the fields of normative ethics, metaethics and applied ethics are explained rigorously and systematically, with a vivid writing style that enlivens the topics with energy and wit. Individual theories are discussed in detail in the first part of the book, before these positions are applied to a wide range of contemporary situations including business ethics, sexual ethics, and the acceptability of eating animals. A wealth of real-life examples, set out with depth and care, illuminate the complexities of different ethical approaches while conveying their modern-day relevance.<break/>This concise and highly engaging resource is tailored to the Ethics components of AQA Philosophy and OCR Religious Studies, with a clear and practical layout that includes end-of-chapter summaries, key terms, and common mistakes to avoid. It should also be of practical use for those teaching Philosophy as part of the International Baccalaureate. <break/>Ethics for A-Level is of particular value to students and teachers, but Fisher and Dimmock’s precise and scholarly approach will appeal to anyone seeking a rigorous and lively introduction to the challenging subject of ethics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0125_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743889 06 15 9781783743896 06 15 9781783743902 06 15 9781800645448 06 15 9781783744084 06 15 9781783743919 06 15 9781783743926 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0125.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0125 99 04 urn:uuid:58c9b3ee-6fa7-480d-943d-c2e81baca4bb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:58c9b3ee-6fa7-480d-943d-c2e81baca4bb 15 9781805110576 06 10.11647/OBP.0366 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies An Introduction 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9553-5651 Ibo van de Poel 2 B01 21 0000-0001-8659-2390 Lily Eva Frank 3 B01 21 0000-0001-9990-4736 Julia Hermann 4 B01 21 0000-0001-9239-3048 Jeroen Hopster 5 B01 21 0000-0003-4388-4427 Dominic Lenzi 6 B01 21 0000-0002-3836-5932 Sven Nyholm 7 B01 21 0000-0002-2244-2083 Behnam Taebi 8 B01 21 0000-0002-8929-9728 Elena Ziliotti 01 eng 00 186 03 04 BJ59 12 HPQ 10 PHI005000 93 QDTQ 20 technology 20 society 12 T 93 TB 10 TEC000000 20 artificial wombs 93 PDR 12 TB 10 TEC052000 20 climate engineering 12 J 20 social media 12 UBJ 20 social robots 20 artificial intelligence 01 06 03 00 Technologies shape who we are, how we organize our societies and how we relate to nature. For example, social media challenges democracy; artificial intelligence raises the question of what is unique to humans; and the possibility to create artificial wombs may affect notions of motherhood and birth. Some have suggested that we address global warming by engineering the climate, but how does this impact our responsibility to future generations and our relation to nature?This book shows how technologies can be socially and conceptually disruptive and investigates how to come to terms with this disruptive potential.Four technologies are studied: social media, social robots, climate engineering and artificial wombs. The authors highlight the disruptive potential of these technologies, and the new questions this raises. The book also discusses responses to conceptual disruption, like conceptual engineering, the deliberate revision of concepts. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0366_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Dutch Research Council 01 programname Gravitation Program of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science 01 grantnumber 024.004.031 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110163 06 15 9781805110170 06 15 9781805110576 06 15 9781800649873 06 15 9781805110507 06 15 9781783747894 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0366 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0366.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:79014435-af8c-43a7-b570-1781b6a452fe 03 01 01 urn:uuid:79014435-af8c-43a7-b570-1781b6a452fe 15 9781805112983 06 10.11647/OBP.0402 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Etosha Pan to the Skeleton Coast Conservation Histories, Policies and Practices in North-west Namibia 1 B01 21 0000-0002-0522-8843 Sian Sullivan 2 B01 21 0000-0001-9640-6942 Ute Dieckmann 3 B01 21 0000-0002-9793-6950 Selma Lendelvo 01 eng 00 590 03 20 conservation 10 NAT011000 93 RNK 12 RNK 04 S934.N3 20 Etosha-Kunene, Namibia 10 POL044000 93 RND 12 RND 04 S934.N3 20 biodiversity 93 RNF 12 RNF 10 SCI026000 12 1HFM 93 1HFMN 20 historical injustices 12 1HFMN 20 environmental policy 20 community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) 01 06 03 00 Etosha Pan to the Skeleton Coast examines the conservation histories and concerns of one of southern Africa’s most iconic conservation regions: the variously connected ‘Etosha-Kunene’ areas of north-central and north-west Namibia. This cross-disciplinary volume brings together contributions from a Namibian and international group of scholars and conservation practitioners, working on topics ranging from colonial histories to water management, perceptions of ‘wildlife’ and the politics of belonging. Together, these essays confront a critical question: how can the conservation of biodiversity-rich landscapes be reconciled with historical injustices of social exclusion and marginalisation?The book is organised in five parts: the first provides a historical backdrop for the book’s detailed case studies, focusing on environmental and conservation policy and legislation; the second investigates post-Independence approaches to conservation; the third focuses on ‘Etosha-Kunene’ ecologies and related management issues; the fourth explores how historical circumstances shape present conservation and cultural landscapes; and the fifth addresses contemporary complexities of lion conservation and community-based natural resource management (CBNRM).By offering a comprehensive overview of evolving conservation boundaries, policies and practices in the region, this timely volume paves the way for the future design of conservation initiatives that more fully consider and integrate historical and cultural knowledge and diversity. Essential reading for conservation practitioners, policymakers, and academic researchers alike, this volume also serves as a valuable resource for university students interested in conservation studies and histories of conservation.The content of this book has been updated. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0402_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112969 06 15 9781805112983 06 15 9781805113010 06 15 9781805112990 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0402.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0402 99 04 urn:uuid:d90e1915-1d2a-40e6-a94c-79f671031224 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d90e1915-1d2a-40e6-a94c-79f671031224 15 9781783744435 06 10.11647/OBP.0133 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Europa im Geisterkrieg.

Die Studien handeln von Grundfragen der Philosophie Nietzsches. Sie setzen ein (I) mit seiner Neubestimmung der Wahrheit und der Philosophie und (II) seiner Verzeitlichung des Denkens unter (III) Verzicht auf ,die Vernunft‘ bei der Bestimmung des Menschen, interpretieren von hier aus (IV) die Anti-Lehren von Nietzsches Zarathustra, umreißen (V) Nietzsches Ethik für ,gute Europäer‘ und schließen (VI) mit der Interpretation von Nietzsches Selbsteinschätzung als Schicksal der Philosophie und der Menschheit (Ecce Homo, Warum ich ein Schicksal bin 1) und einer Einschätzung von Nietzsches Zukunft, die schon seit über einem Jahrhundert begonnen hat. Werner Stegmaier, Jahrgang 1946, war Gründungsdirektor des Instituts für Philosophie der Universität Greifswald nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion und baute das Nord- und osteuropäische Forum für Philosophie auf, das Institute für Philosophie rund um die Ostsee neu miteinander ins Gespräch brachte und dort zu philosophischen Neuorientierungen beitrug. Er hat auf vielfältigen Gebieten gearbeitet, unter anderem zur Metaphysik und ihrem Grundbegriff der Substanz, zu großen Philosophen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart, zur philosophischen Aktualität der jüdischen Tradition, vor allem aber zur Philosophie Nietzsches. Dabei ging es ihm stets um Fragen der Ersten Philosophie, insbesondere die, was unsere Realität ausmacht, wie sie durch Zeichen und Kommunikation vermittelt wird, wie Begriffe in der Zeit existieren und womit man es beim Denken zu tun hat. Er führte den Begriff der Orientierung als elementaren Begriff der Philosophie ein und entwickelte eine umfassende Philosophie der Orientierung. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0133_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783744411 06 15 9781783744428 06 15 9781783744435 06 15 9781800645523 06 15 9781783745647 06 15 9781783744442 06 15 9781783744459 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0133.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0133 99 04 urn:uuid:a0a8d5f1-12d0-4d51-973d-ed1dfa73f01f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a0a8d5f1-12d0-4d51-973d-ed1dfa73f01f 15 9781783743957 06 10.11647/OBP.0126 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Exploring the Interior Essays on Literary and Cultural History 1 A01 Karl S.

Guthke examines the ways in which, for European scholars and writers of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, world-wide geographical exploration led to an exploration of the self. Guthke explains how in the age of Enlightenment and beyond intellectual developments were fuelled by excitement about what Ulrich Im Hof called "the grand opening-up of the wide world”, especially of the interior of the non-European continents. This outward turn was complemented by a fascination with "the world within” as anthropology and ethnology focused on the humanity of the indigenous populations of far-away lands – an interest in human nature that suggested a way for Europeans to understand themselves, encapsulated in Gauguin’s Tahitian rumination "What are we?”The essays in the first half of the book discuss first- or second-hand, physical or mental encounters with the exotic lands and populations beyond the supposed cradle of civilisation. The works of literature and documents of cultural life featured in these essays bear testimony to the crossing not only of geographical, ethnological, and cultural borders but also of borders of a variety of intellectual activities and interests. The second section examines the growing interest in astronomy and the engagement with imagined worlds in the universe, again with a view to understanding homo sapiens, as compared now to the extra-terrestrials that were confidently assumed to exist. The final group of essays focuses on the exploration of the landscape of what was called "the universe within”; featuring, among a variety of other texts, Schiller’s plays The Maid of Orleans and William Tell, these essays observe and analyse what Erich Heller termed "The Artist’s Journey into the Interior.”This collection, which travels from the interior of continents to the interior of the mind, is itself a set of explorations that revel in the discovery of what was half-hidden in language. Written by a scholar of international repute, it is eye-opening reading for all those with an interest in the literary and cultural history of (and since) the Enlightenment. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0126_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Anne and Jim Rothenberg Fund for Humanities Research, Harvard University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783743933 06 15 9781783743940 06 15 9781783743957 06 15 9781800645455 06 15 9781783745289 06 15 9781783743964 06 15 9781783743971 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0126.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0126 99 04 urn:uuid:3795e166-413c-4568-8c19-1117689ef14b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3795e166-413c-4568-8c19-1117689ef14b 15 9781909254022 06 10.11647/OBP.0031 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/ 01 01 Feeding the City Work and Food Culture of the Mumbai Dabbawalas 1 A01 Sara Roncaglia 2 Z01 Angela Arnone 3 Z01 Pier Giorgio Solinas 01 eng 01 ita 00 234 03 20 Dabbawalas 04 GT2853.I5 12 JHMC 10 SOC002010 10 BUS070120 12 KNDF 20 Mumbai 20 India 12 JHM 20 food industry 20 food distribution 20 food culture 20 co-operative 20 'gastrosemantics' 01 06 03 00 Every day in Mumbai 5,000 dabbawalas (literally translated as "those who carry boxes") distribute a staggering 200,000 home-cooked lunchboxes to the city’s workers and students. Giving employment and status to thousands of largely illiterate villagers from Mumbai's hinterland, this co-operative has been in operation since the late nineteenth century. It provides one of the most efficient delivery networks in the world: only one lunch in six million goes astray. Feeding the City is an ethnographic study of the fascinating inner workings of Mumbai's dabbawalas. Cultural anthropologist Sara Roncaglia explains how they cater to the various dietary requirements of a diverse and increasingly global city, where the preparation and consumption of food is pervaded with religious and cultural significance. Developing the idea of "gastrosemantics" – a language with which to discuss the broader implications of cooking and eating – Roncaglia's study helps us to rethink our relationship to food at a local and global level.

Set against the intersection of media studies, emotion theory, biology, and digital humanities, Feeling Colour: Chromatic Embodiment in Film Culture (1950s-1960s) delves into the role colour played in the oft-fraught relationship between cinema and its audiences. This transnational analysis of an extensive range of midcentury cinematography examines the multilayered effects which extend beyond the silver screen, offering a high-level theoretical elaboration and in-depth historical exploration of both experimental and mainstream movies. Lameris takes an interdisciplinary perspective, examining the different ways colour creates—or was believed to create—embodied reactions. From perception theory and 'putting the nerves in motion’, to colour psychology and how to ‘steer’ the spectator, to cross-modal perception (or ‘synaesthesia’), Lameris asks how how colours and feelings in film are entangled in the colour cultures, discourses and beliefs of a particular historical context. With its influential cultural scholarly contribution and accessible writing style, this book will delight both students and specialists in film and media studies. In addition, those interested in the history and use of color in advertising, neuroscience, gender studies, and emotion will find the book engaging and useful. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0380_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Open University in the Netherlands 01 programname Open Access Stimulation Fund Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805111702 06 15 9781805111719 06 15 9781805111726 06 15 9781805111757 06 15 9781805111733 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0380 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0380.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:64002b81-bdb2-486b-af25-9175b311e00c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:64002b81-bdb2-486b-af25-9175b311e00c 15 9781805111962 06 10.11647/OBP.0385 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Feliks Volkhovskii A Revolutionary Life 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2169-3451 Michael Hughes 01 eng 00 354 03 04 DK254.V6155 20 Feliks Volkhovskii (1846-1914) 12 HBJD 10 HIS032000 93 NHQ 12 BGL 10 BIO000000 93 DNB 20 Russian revolutionary movement 93 DS 12 DSB 10 LIT000000 20 Siberian exile 12 JP 93 JPS 10 POL011000 20 Socialist Revolutionary Party 10 HIS037040 20 Russian émigrés in England 20 Imperial Russia 01 06 03 00 Feliks Volkhovskii (1846-1914) was a significant figure in the Russian revolutionary movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He lived through pivotal changes ranging from the rise of ‘nihilism’ in the 1860s and the growth of populism in the 1870s, through to the creation of the Socialist Revolutionary Party in the early 1900s. Imprisoned three times before he turned thirty, he spent ten years in Siberian exile before fleeing abroad to join the fight against tsarist autocracy from western Europe.Following Volkhovskii’s arrival in Britain in 1890, he played a central role in the campaign to win sympathy for the Russian revolutionary movement, editing newspapers and journals including Free Russia. He also helped to smuggle propaganda into Russia as well as becoming one of the most prominent figures in the émigré leadership of the Socialist Revolutionaries. Throughout his life, Volkhovskii was also a prolific writer of poetry and short stories, and was on good terms with many leading literary figures of the time including Ford Maddox Ford and Edward and Constance Garnett. Michael Hughes’s groundbreaking new biography provides a vivid history of this notable but hitherto neglected figure of both the political and literary worlds. Based on ten years of research in archives across the world and drawing on sources in multiple languages, this masterful biography explores how Volkhovskii’s life illuminates broader intellectual and historical questions about the Russian revolutionary movement. It is essential reading for anyone interested in late Imperial Russia and the Russian revolution.Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize in Biography. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0385_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Lancaster University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111948 06 15 9781805111955 06 15 9781805111962 06 15 9781805111993 06 15 9781805111979 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0385.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0385 99 04 urn:uuid:5da7830b-6d55-4eb4-899e-cb2a13b30111 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5da7830b-6d55-4eb4-899e-cb2a13b30111 15 9781783740444 06 10.11647/OBP.0058 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Fiesco's Conspiracy at Genoa 1 A01 Friedrich Schiller 2 Z01 John Guthrie 3 Z01 Flora Kimmich 01 eng 01 ger 00 150 03 10 DRA004020 12 DSG 20 Friedrich Schiller 04 PT2468 12 AN 20 drama 10 LIT013000 20 Fiesco 10 LIT004170 20 conspiracy 20 Genoa 20 play 20 translation 01 06 03 00 Within two years of the success of his first play Die Räuber on the German stage in 1781, Schiller wrote a drama based on a rebellion in sixteenth century Italy, its title: The Conspiracy of Fiesco at Genoa. A Republican Tragedy. At the head of the conspiracy stood Gian Luigi de’ Fieschi (1524–1547), Schiller’s Count Fiesco, a clever, courageous and charismatic figure, an epicurean and unhesitant egoist, politically ambitious, but unsure of his aims and principles. He is one of Schiller’s mysterious, protean characters who secures both our admiration and disgust. With Fiesco as tragic hero Schiller examines the complex entanglement of morality and politics in his own times that was to preoccupy him throughout his career.The play was a moderate success when performed in Mannheim in 1784; it was more popular in Berlin where, during Schiller’s lifetime, it was performed many times in a version by Carl Plümicke, which however radically altered the play’s meaning. There have been some noteworthy productions on the German stage and television, even if it has remained somewhat in the shadow of Schiller’ other works. In the English-speaking world it is all but unknown and very seldom performed. This translation aims to remedy that oversight. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0058_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783740420 06 15 9781783740437 06 15 9781783740444 06 15 9781800644854 06 15 9781783746453 06 15 9781783740451 06 15 9781783740468 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0058.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0058 99 04 urn:uuid:936e40ed-ea14-48ac-9766-6acae46ba1e3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:936e40ed-ea14-48ac-9766-6acae46ba1e3 15 9781805112020 06 10.11647/OBP.0386 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 Financing Investment in Times of High Public Debt 2023 European Public Investment Outlook 1 B01 21 0000-0001-9972-716X Floriana Cerniglia 2 B01 21 0000-0003-0121-4329 Francesco Saraceno 3 B01 Andrew Watt 01 eng 00 248 03 10 BUS036000 20 Financing 04 HC240 12 KFFM 93 KFFM 10 BUS032000 20 European economics 12 K 93 KCS 12 1QFE 10 BUS051000 20 Investment 93 KFFD 20 Public debt 20 Infrastructure 20 Governance 01 06 03 00 The fourth book in the ‘European Public Investment Outlook’ series focuses on the urgent issue of how to finance needed investment in critical tangible and intangible infrastructure given high levels of public debt, a thorny problem facing many governments across Europe. Drawing on expertise from academics, researchers at public policy institutes and international governance bodies, the contributors analyse the current situation and prospects and propose feasible solutions.Financing Investment in Times of High Public Debt offers a powerful combination of high-level analysis of cross-continental policies and trends, with close examination of specific contexts in France, Italy, Germany and Spain. The chapters in Part II explore challenges including how to finance climate investments, the extent to which national promotional banks can offer solutions, EU budget reform and recent trends in tax progressivity.This book is essential reading for economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in implementing and financing public policy in Europe and wanting to better understand the intricacies of EU governance and institutions. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0386_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805112006 06 15 9781805112013 06 15 9781805112020 06 15 9781805112051 06 15 9781805112044 06 15 9781805112037 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0386 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0386.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a94e57a8-fe20-4100-9796-0b8954a57cc8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a94e57a8-fe20-4100-9796-0b8954a57cc8 15 9781805110064 06 10.11647/OBP.0315 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Folktales of Mayotte, an African Island 1 A01 Lee Haring 2 Z01 21 0000-0002-2262-0986 Mark Turin 01 eng 00 198 03 04 GR360.M348 12 JFHF 93 JHMC 20 oral narrators 10 SOC002010 93 JBGB 12 JHMC 20 literary skills 10 SOC011000 12 HBTD 20 versatility 20 small African island 20 French ethnographer 20 interview 20 1970s-80s 20 ancient values 20 preservation 20 postcolonial world 20 island of Mayotte 01 06 03 00 The book uncovers the versatility and literary skills of oral narrators in a small African island. Relying on the researches of three French ethnographers who interviewed storytellers in the 1970s-80s, Lee Haring shows a once-colonised people using verbal art to preserve ancient values in the postcolonial world, when the island of Mayotte was transforming itself from a neglected colony to an overseas department of France. The author’s innovation is to read ethnographic researches as play scripts—to see printed folktales as accounts of live performances. One storyteller after another comments symbolically on what it is like to be a formerly colonised population. Storytelling women, in particular, combine diverse plots and characters to create traditional-sounding stories, which could not have been predicted from the African, Malagasy, Indian, and European traditions coexisting in Mayotte. Haring’s account shows them to be particularly skilled at irony and ambiguity, conveying both submissive and rebellious attitudes in their tales. He makes Mayotte storytelling accessible to a new, English-speaking audience and demonstrates that traditional storytellers in those years were preserving, but also critiquing, their inherited social order in a changing world. Their creative intentions, cultural influences and widely different narrative styles constitute Mayotte’s system of the arts of the word.Literary specialists, folklore enthusiasts, and people who like reading stories will find much to appreciate in this engaging and sophisticated book. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0315_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110040 06 15 9781805110057 06 15 9781805110064 06 15 9781805110101 06 15 9781805110095 06 15 9781805110071 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0315.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0315 99 04 urn:uuid:83b7409e-f076-4598-965e-9e15615be247 03 01 01 urn:uuid:83b7409e-f076-4598-965e-9e15615be247 15 9781783741953 06 10.11647/OBP.0085 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Forests and Food Addressing Hunger and Nutrition Across Sustainable Landscapes 1 B01 21 0000-0001-7766-6773 Bhaskar Vira 2 B01 Christoph Wildburger 3 B01 Stephanie Mansourian 01 eng 00 288 03 20 Forests 04 HD9000 10 NAT014000 12 RND 20 food 10 NAT011000 12 RNU 10 HEA017000 20 hunger 12 MBNH3 20 nutrition 20 malnutrition 20 ecology 20 agriculture 20 environment 01 06 03 00 As population estimates for 2050 reach over 9 billion, issues of food security and nutrition have been dominating academic and policy debates. A total of 805 million people are undernourished worldwide and malnutrition affects nearly every country on the planet. Despite impressive productivity increases, there is growing evidence that conventional agricultural strategies fall short of eliminating global hunger, as well as having long-term ecological consequences. Forests can play an important role in complementing agricultural production to address the Sustainable Development Goals on zero hunger. Forests and trees can be managed to provide better and more nutritionally-balanced diets, greater control over food inputs – particularly during lean seasons and periods of vulnerability (especially for marginalised groups) – and deliver ecosystem services for crop production. However forests are undergoing a rapid process of degradation, a complex process that governments are struggling to reverse.This volume provides important evidence and insights about the potential of forests to reducing global hunger and malnutrition, exploring the different roles of landscapes, and the governance approaches that are required for the equitable delivery of these benefits. Forests and Food is essential reading for researchers, students, NGOs and government departments responsible for agriculture, forestry, food security and poverty alleviation around the globe. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0085_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741939 06 15 9781783741946 06 15 9781783741953 06 15 9781800645059 06 15 9781783746385 06 15 9781783741960 06 15 9781783741977 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0085 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0085.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:517963d1-a56a-4250-8a07-56743ba60d95 03 01 01 urn:uuid:517963d1-a56a-4250-8a07-56743ba60d95 15 9781783740949 06 10.11647/OBP.0050 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Democracy and Power The Delhi Lectures 1 A01 Noam Chomsky 2 Z01 Jean Drèze 01 eng 00 192 03 04 JC423 12 JPHV 20 Noam Chomsky 10 POL007000 20 India 12 JPFF 10 POL042000 12 JPA 20 lectures 10 POL000000 20 democracy 20 society 20 propaganda 20 nationality 01 06 03 00 Noam Chomsky visited India in 1996 and 2001 and spoke on a wide range of subjects, from democracy and corporate propaganda to the nature of the world order and the role of intellectuals in society.

Adopting theoretical and empirical approaches, and addressing multiple complex, intersectional issues, this book offers inspiration for scholars and practitioners to open up alternative pathways to social justice, viewed through a Global South lens.Martinez-Vargas examines the colonial roots of research and emphasises the importance of problematising current practices and limitations in order to establish more just and democratic participatory research practices. Although practitioners have been challenging the Western roots of research and participatory research for decades, their goals can be compromised by pluralities and contradictions in the field. This book aims not to replicate past participatory research approaches, but to offer an innovative theoretical foundation—the Capabilities Approach—and an innovative participatory practice called ‘Democratic Capabilities Research’.Democratising Participatory Research is not only timely and relevant in South Africa, but also in the Global North owing to the current crisis of values jeopardising the peaceful existence of diverse societies. The book gives essential recommendations for capabilities and human development scholars to reframe their perspectives and uses of the Capabilities Approach, as well as for participatory practitioners to critically reflect on their practices and their often limited conceptualisation of participation. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0273_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643086 06 15 9781800643093 06 15 9781800643109 06 15 9781800646612 06 15 9781800643130 06 15 9781800643116 06 15 9781800643123 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0273.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0273 99 04 urn:uuid:60450f84-3e18-4beb-bafe-87c78b5a0159 03 01 01 urn:uuid:60450f84-3e18-4beb-bafe-87c78b5a0159 15 9781909254923 06 10.11647/OBP.0098 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Denis Diderot 'Rameau's Nephew' - 'Le Neveu de Rameau' A Multi-Media Bilingual Edition 1 A01 Denis Diderot 2 B01 Marian Hobson 3 Z01 Kate E.

John Isbell provides an essential collection that illuminates the impact women writers had on French literature and politics during a time marked by three revolutions, the influx of Romantic art, and rapid technological change. Each of the book’s thirty chapters introduces a prominent work by a different female author writing in French during the period, from Germaine de Staël to George Sand, from the admired salon libertine Marie du Deffand to Flora Tristan, tireless campaigner for socialism and women’s rights. Isbell draws from multi-genre writers working in prose, poetry and correspondence and addresses the breadth of women’s contribution to the literature of the age. Isbell also details the important events which shaped the writers’ lives and contextualises their work amidst the liberties both given and taken away from women during the period. This anthology fills a significant gap in the secondary literature on this transformative century, which often overlooks women who were working and active. It invites a further gendered investigation of the impact of revolution and Romanticism on the content and nature of French women’s writing, and will therefore be appropriate for both general readers, students, and academics analysing history and literature through a feminist lens. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0346_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110323 06 15 9781805110330 06 15 9781805110347 06 15 9781805110385 06 15 9781805110378 06 15 9781805110354 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0346 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0346.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:cdb4338a-df04-425e-a17b-d383d96f2cb3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:cdb4338a-df04-425e-a17b-d383d96f2cb3 15 9781805114376 06 10.11647/OBP.0433 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Diachronic Diversity in Classical Biblical Hebrew 1 A01 Aaron D.

Within this paradigm, the chronolectal unity of CBH is rarely questioned—this despite the reasonable expectation that the language of a corpus encompassing traditions of various ages and comprising works composed, edited, and transmitted over the course of centuries would show signs of diachronic development. From the perspective of historical evolution, CBH is remarkably homogenous. Within this apparent uniformity, however, there are indeed signs of historical development, sets of alternant features whose respective concentrations seem to divide CBH into two sub-chronolects. The most conspicuous typological division that emerges is between the CBH of the Pentateuch and that of the relevant Prophets and Writings. The present volume investigates a series of features that distinguish the two ostensible CBH sub-chronolects, weighs alternative explanations for distribution patterns that appear to have chronological significance, and considers broader implications for Hebrew diachrony and periodisation and for the composition of the Torah. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0433_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805114352 06 15 9781805114369 06 15 9781805114376 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0433.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0433 99 04 urn:uuid:73e2a621-d3c6-486c-b58f-11dd1fe6d948 03 01 01 urn:uuid:73e2a621-d3c6-486c-b58f-11dd1fe6d948 15 9781800647244 06 10.11647/OBP.0298 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Diachronic Variation in the Omani Arabic Vernacular of the Al-ʿAwābī District From Carl Reinhardt (1894) to the Present Day 1 A01 21 0000-0002-5054-137X Roberta Morano 01 eng 00 304 03 12 CFF 10 FOR002000 20 Omani Arabic dialectology 20 Carl Reinhardt 12 CFP 10 LAN009010 20 Ein arabischer Dialekt gesprochen in ‘Oman und Zanzibar 20 al-ʿAwābī district 20 Omani Arabic 01 06 03 00 In this monograph, Roberta Morano re-examines one of the foundational works of the Omani Arabic dialectology field, Carl Reinhardt’s Ein arabischer Dialekt gesprochen in ‘Oman und Zanzibar (1894). This German-authored work was prolific in shaping our knowledge of Omani Arabic during the twentieth century, until the 1980s when more recent linguistic studies on the Arabic varieties spoken in Oman began to appear. Motivated by an urgent need to expand and reinforce our understanding of Omani Arabic, the book provides a linguistic analysis of the Omani vernacular spoken in the al-ʿAwābī district (northern Oman), based on the speech of fifteen informants recruited throughout the area. It also provides a comparative analysis of the new data with that collected by Carl Reinhardt in 1894. This comparison enables the reader to appreciate the extent of diachronic linguistic variation in the region, and also sheds light on the threats that such variation poses to Omani-specific linguistic features. Organised in four chapters, the book presents a sociolinguistic analysis of the Omani linguistic landscape followed by an examination of the phonology, morphology, and syntax of the al-ʿAwābī vernacular. Each chapter contains primary data collected by the author in situ compared, when applicable, with Carl Reinhardt’s materials. The appendix includes two sample texts extrapolated from the recordings, fourteen proverbs and one traditional song. This study will be of interest to those working in the fields of Omani Arabic, historical and comparative linguistics, translation and interpretation, or those with an interest in how languages develop over time. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0298_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647220 06 15 9781800647237 06 15 9781800647244 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0298.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0298 99 04 urn:uuid:594ddcb6-2363-47c8-858e-76af2283e486 03 01 01 urn:uuid:594ddcb6-2363-47c8-858e-76af2283e486 15 9781783742257 06 10.11647/OBP.0092 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Dickens’s Working Notes for 'Dombey and Son' 1 A01 Tony Laing 01 eng 00 224 03 20 critical edition 12 DSK 10 LIT004120 04 PR4588 10 LIT024040 20 working notes 20 Dombey and Son 20 transcription 20 commentary 20 worksheets 01 06 03 00 This critical edition of the working notes for Dombey and Son (1848) is ideal for readers who wish to know more about Dickens’s craft and creativity. Drawing on the author’s manuscript in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London—and containing hyperlinked facsimiles—Dickens’s Working Notes for Dombey and Son offers a new digital transcription with a fresh commentary by Tony Laing. Unique and innovative, this is the only edition to make Dickens’s working methods visible.John Mullan has called Dombey and Son Dickens’s "first great novel.” Set amid the coming of the railways, it tells the story of a powerful man—typical of the commercial and banking magnates of the period—and the effect he has on his family and those around him. Laing presents the worksheets and other materials (transcribed for the first time) that together grew into the novel. Reading the book alongside this edition of the notes will enlarge the understanding of Dickens’s art among teachers, students, researchers and Dickens enthusiasts.As cultural tastes shift from print to digital, Dickens’s Working Notes will help preserve Dickens’s work for the future. The magnifying and linking functions of the edition mean that the notes are more easily and usefully—not to mention accessibly—exhibited here than elsewhere. Laing gives present-day readers the chance not only to recapture the effect of serial publication but also to gain greater insight into the making of a work which by general agreement, and Dickens’s own admission, has a special place in his development as a novelist.This close analysis of Dickens’s working notes uses Zoomify, allowing the reader of the HTML edition to greatly magnify the manuscript photographs and enabling more detailed examination. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0092_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783742233 06 15 9781783742240 06 15 9781783742257 06 15 9781800645110 06 15 9781783746149 06 15 9781783742264 06 15 9781783742271 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0092.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0092 99 04 urn:uuid:4d3adf77-c72b-4b69-bf5a-a042a38a837a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4d3adf77-c72b-4b69-bf5a-a042a38a837a 15 9781783741090 06 10.11647/OBP.0053 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Dictionary of the British English Spelling System 1 A01 21 0000-0002-9054-5156 Greg Brooks 01 eng 00 522 03 20 British English 12 EBD 10 LAN019000 04 PE1143 12 CFH 10 LAN011000 20 spelling 12 CBD 20 dictionary 10 FOR007000 20 phonetics 20 phonics 20 graphemes phoneme correspondence 01 06 03 00 This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It’s a reference work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training.<break/>English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa. It enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme-phoneme correspondences keep company. <break/>Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters <a, e, i, o, u>) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0053_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741076 06 15 9781783741083 06 15 9781783741090 06 15 9781800644809 06 15 9781783741106 06 15 9781783741113 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0053 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0053.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:364c223d-9c90-4ceb-90e2-51be7d84e923 03 01 01 urn:uuid:364c223d-9c90-4ceb-90e2-51be7d84e923 15 9781783744008 06 10.11647/OBP.0127 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Die Europaidee im Zeitalter der Aufklärung 1 B01 Rotraud von Kulessa 2 B01 21 0000-0002-6061-8502 Catriona Seth 01 ger 00 180 03 12 DQ 20 Europa 10 LCO008000 20 Aufklärung 12 HP 10 PHI034000 20 Frieden 12 HPS 10 PHI019000 12 1QFE 20 Europäische Union 10 HIS010000 20 Anthologie 20 gemeinsame Werte 20 Rousseau 20 Voltaire 20 Kant 20 Hume 01 06 03 00 Angesichts der aktuellen Herausforderungen – nicht zuletzt politischer Natur – mit denen sich viele europäische Staaten konfrontiert sehen, haben sich die Aufklärungsforscher entschlossen, auf die Geschichte der Europaidee zurückzukommen. Bereits im 18. Jahrhundert und zuvor besann man sich auf gemeinsame Werte und eine gemeinsame Geschichte; die damals gestellten Fragen ähneln in vielen Bereichen den heutigen. Die Autoren und Philosophen der Aufklärung haben so bereits über die Möglichkeiten einer europäischen Einigung zwecks Sicherung des Friedens auf dem Kontinent nachgedacht. Die Texte der vorliegenden Anthologie, verfasst sowohl von den großen Denkern der Zeit (Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Kant, Hume oder Germaine de Staël) wie auch von weniger bekannten oder gar in Vergessenheit geratenen, präsentieren, mit einigen chronologischen Exkursen (von Sully bis Victor Hugo), die Ideen der Denker eines weit gefassten 18. Jahrhunderts zu Europa, seiner Geschichte, seiner Vielfalt, aber auch zu den Gemeinsamkeiten der Nationen, die trotz ihrer Vielfalt eine geographische Einheit bilden. Die Texte zeigen uns so die historischen Ursprünge des Projektes der europäischen Einigung, erörtern die Vorteile einer assoziierten Türkei und einer Einbindung des Maghreb sowie die Bedeutung des europäischen Handels. Sie verweisen auch auf die durch die historischen Unruhen verursachten Ängste wie auch auf die Zukunftsperspektiven eines vereinten Europas. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0127_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Oxford 16 Augsburg University 16 The Société française d’étude du XVIIIe siècle Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743988 06 15 9781783743995 06 15 9781783744008 06 15 9781800645462 06 15 9781783744091 06 15 9781783744015 06 15 9781783744022 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0127.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0127 99 04 urn:uuid:0cf03817-370e-4a1a-b754-1f25a49bd074 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0cf03817-370e-4a1a-b754-1f25a49bd074 15 9781805112976 06 10.11647/OBP.0423 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Digital Humanities in the India Rim Contemporary Scholarship in Australia and India 1 B01 21 0000-0001-8676-4420 Hart Cohen 2 B01 21 0000-0001-5940-8201 Ujjwal Jana 3 B01 21 0000-0002-8806-1726 Myra Gurney 01 eng 00 372 03 93 1F 04 AZ195 20 Digital Humanities 10 SOC008020 93 1MBF 10 COM079010 20 Indian and Australian DH 20 Ethics and Politics in DH 10 SOC052000 93 UXA 20 DH and Literature 93 JBCT1 10 PHI005000 20 DH Methods and Methodology 20 Technology in DH 20 DH and Culture 20 DH and Law 01 06 03 00 This varied collection delves into illuminating examples of Digital Humanities research and practice currently being undertaken by academics in India and Australia, and seeks to understand the shared challenges as well as the points of similarity and difference between them. From the influence of Netflix on International Relations to contemporary digital adaptations of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, via detours into erobotics (empathic robots) and the cultural specificity of online dating, these essays convey the distinctive breadth and imagination of research in this field.Digital Humanities is a relatively new discipline in the India Rim, and this novelty has created space for innovative research ideas, as well as the use of traditional methodologies and software in different ways within these unique cultural spaces that could potentially influence how Digital Humanities is conceptualised internationally. For example, drawing on Indian classical logic leads to novel designs and applications of computation.This lively volume offers a fresh look at the Digital Humanities and an important overview of the work taking place in a region other than the Western countries that typically dominate the field. It has much to offer both experienced researchers and those new to the Digital Humanities. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0423_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113874 06 15 9781805113881 06 15 9781805112976 06 15 9781805113904 06 15 9781805113898 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0423.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0423 99 04 urn:uuid:1d4812e4-c491-4465-8e92-64e4f13662f1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1d4812e4-c491-4465-8e92-64e4f13662f1 15 9781909254275 06 10.11647/OBP.0024 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 10 01 02 Digital Humanities Series 01 01 Digital Humanities Pedagogy Practices, Principles and Politics 1 B01 Brett D.

Despite the pressure on practitioners to develop innovative courses, scholarship in this area has tended to focus on research methods, theories and results rather than critical pedagogy and the actual practice of teaching. The essays in this collection offer a timely intervention in digital humanities scholarship, bringing together established and emerging scholars from a variety of humanities disciplines across the world. The first section offers views on the practical realities of teaching digital humanities at undergraduate and graduate levels, presenting case studies and snapshots of the authors’ experiences alongside models for future courses and reflections on pedagogical successes and failures. The next section proposes strategies for teaching foundational digital humanities methods across a variety of scholarly disciplines, and the book concludes with wider debates about the place of digital humanities in the academy, from the field’s cultural assumptions and social obligations to its political visions. Digital Humanities Pedagogy broadens the ways in which both scholars and practitioners can think about this emerging discipline, ensuring its ongoing development, vitality and long-term sustainability. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0024_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Western Australia 01 programname The University of Western Australia Research Development Award Cambridge, UK 04 19 2012 06 15 9781909254251 06 15 9781909254268 06 15 9781909254275 06 15 9781800644519 06 15 9781909254282 06 15 9781909254299 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0024 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0024.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:43d96298-a683-4098-9492-bba1466cb8e0 03 01 01 urn:uuid:43d96298-a683-4098-9492-bba1466cb8e0 15 9781783742400 06 10.11647/OBP.0095 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Digital Humanities Series 01 01 Digital Scholarly Editing Theories and Practices 1 B01 21 0000-0001-9662-1271 Matthew James Driscoll 2 B01 Elena Pierazzo 01 eng 00 290 03 20 Digital scholarly editing 12 H 10 LIT000000 04 Z286.E43 10 COM087000 20 digital humanities 12 U 10 COM065000 12 D 20 textual scholarship 20 computer technology 20 theories 20 practices 01 06 03 00 This volume presents the state of the art in digital scholarly editing. Drawing together the work of established and emerging researchers, it gives pause at a crucial moment in the history of technology in order to offer a sustained reflection on the practices involved in producing, editing and reading digital scholarly editions—and the theories that underpin them.The unrelenting progress of computer technology has changed the nature of textual scholarship at the most fundamental level: the way editors and scholars work, the tools they use to do such work and the research questions they attempt to answer have all been affected. Each of the essays in Digital Scholarly Editing approaches these changes with a different methodological consideration in mind. Together, they make a compelling case for re-evaluating the foundation of the discipline—one that tests its assertions against manuscripts and printed works from across literary history, and the globe. The sheer breadth of Digital Scholarly Editing, along with its successful integration of theory and practice, help redefine a rapidly-changing field, as its firm grounding and future-looking ambit ensure the work will be an indispensable starting point for further scholarship. This collection is essential reading for editors, scholars, students and readers who are invested in the future of textual scholarship and the digital humanities. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0095_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742387 06 15 9781783742394 06 15 9781783742400 06 15 9781800645141 06 15 9781783746279 06 15 9781783742417 06 15 9781783742424 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0095.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0095 99 04 urn:uuid:912c2731-3ca1-4ad9-b601-5d968da6b030 03 01 01 urn:uuid:912c2731-3ca1-4ad9-b601-5d968da6b030 15 9781783748419 06 10.11647/OBP.0192 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Digital Technology and the Practices of Humanities Research 1 B01 21 0000-0001-9991-1637 Jennifer Edmond 01 eng 00 294 03 04 AZ186 10 EDU037000 12 H 20 technology 20 humanities 12 JNV 10 TEC000000 20 digitisation 20 scholarly identity 20 scholarship 20 scholarly publishing 20 digital age 01 06 03 00 How does technology impact research practices in the humanities? How does digitisation shape scholarly identity? How do we negotiate trust in the digital realm? What is scholarship, what forms can it take, and how does it acquire authority?This diverse set of essays demonstrate the importance of asking such questions, bringing together established and emerging scholars from a variety of disciplines, at a time when data is increasingly being incorporated as an input and output in humanities sources and publications. Major themes addressed include the changing nature of scholarly publishing in a digital age, the different kinds of ‘gate-keepers’ for scholarship, and the difficulties of effectively assessing the impact of digital resources. The essays bring theoretical and practical perspectives into conversation, offering readers not only comprehensive examinations of past and present discourse on digital scholarship, but tightly-focused case studies.This timely volume illuminates the different forces underlying the shifting practices in humanities research today, with especial focus on how humanists take ownership of, and are empowered by, technology in unexpected ways. Digital Technology and the Practices of Humanities Research is essential reading for scholars, students, and general readers interested in the changing culture of research practices in the humanities, and in the future of the digital humanities on the whole. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0192_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748396 06 15 9781783748402 06 15 9781783748419 06 15 9781800646049 06 15 9781783748440 06 15 9781783748426 06 15 9781783748433 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0192 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0192.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:270b51a0-d993-4be6-ae92-d3bb06a68955 03 01 01 urn:uuid:270b51a0-d993-4be6-ae92-d3bb06a68955 15 9781805110620 06 10.11647/OBP.0350 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Digital Transformation Understanding Business Goals, Risks, Processes, and Decisions 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2488-4854 Mathias Cöster 2 A01 21 0000-0001-6502-9670 Mats Danielson 3 A01 21 0000-0002-0665-1889 Love Ekenberg 4 A01 Cecilia Gullberg 5 A01 Gard Titlestad 6 A01 21 0000-0002-0671-6072 Alf Westelius 7 A01 Gunnar Wettergren 01 eng 00 322 03 10 COM005000 20 digitisation 04 HD45 12 UF 93 UFL 10 BUS063000 20 efficiency 12 KJC 93 KJC 10 BUS092000 93 KCM 12 KJD 20 organisations 20 business goals 20 strategies 20 information structure 20 decision making 20 risk assessment 20 project management 20 procurement 01 06 03 00 Whilst digitisation is far from a new concept, many assume that simply introducing automation and information systems in various forms will be enough to make their organisation’s operations more efficient. This misconception can often lead to disarray and costly mistakes. Digital Transformation: Understanding Business Goals, Risks, Processes, and Decisions shows how to avoid such issues via careful consideration of what an enterprise really needs. Unlike many other books on digital transformation, the authors do not dwell on database design or the details of implementing information systems. Instead, they emphasise the importance of a clear understanding of all aspects of an organisation in order to effectively implement and manage digital systems, from business goals and strategies to structuring information and making decisions, risk assessments, project management, organising, and procuring services and products. Organised in eleven chapters, and drawing on examples from all over the world, this book will be of interest to university students of business administration, management, information systems, and computer science, as well as practitioners seeking to better understand how to handle digital transformation in their own organisation. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0350_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Bergen Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110606 06 15 9781805110613 06 15 9781805110620 06 15 9781805110668 06 15 9781805110651 06 15 9781805110637 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0350.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0350 99 04 urn:uuid:efd4453c-0eba-4f38-b9e1-9cc0e7cbb29f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:efd4453c-0eba-4f38-b9e1-9cc0e7cbb29f 15 9781800649323 06 10.11647/OBP.0332 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Dire Straits-Education Reforms Ideology, Vested Interests and Evidence 1 A01 Montserrat Gomendio 2 A01 José Ignacio Wert 01 eng 00 362 03 10 EDU034000 20 educational emergency 12 JN 04 LB2806.23 10 EDU014000 20 education reforms 12 JNF 10 EDU040000 20 education policies 12 JNK 20 comparison 12 VSK 20 policies around the world 01 06 03 00 Responding to an ‘educational emergency’ generated largely by the difficulties of implementing education reforms, this book compares education policies around the world in order to understand what works where. To address the key question of why education reforms are so difficult, the authors take into account a broad range of relevant factors, such as governance, ideology, and stakeholder conflicts of interest, and their interactions with one another. Drawing on their experiences as policymakers in the Spanish government and as governmental advisors worldwide, Montserrat Gomendio and Jose Ignacio Wert produce a publication like no other, shifting the usual Eurocentric narrative and shedding light on frequently overlooked educational policies from elsewhere. In this context, they dive deeper into details of educational failures and successes, the processes of implementation and investment priorities in different countries. They provide revealing accounts of stakeholder conflicts of interest and the challenges of implementing educational reform during a financial crisis.The authors also investigate why the evidence from international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) has, contrary to expectation, not generated improvements in most education systems. Gomendio and Wert investigate the evolution of different education systems, closely examining their advances or declines. Gomendio and Wert’s expert voices illuminate the current state of global education systems and the necessary changes to ensure long-awaited improvements. This is a revelatory and informative resource for policymakers, teachers and academics alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0332_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649309 06 15 9781800649316 06 15 9781800649323 06 15 9781800649361 06 15 9781800649354 06 15 9781800649330 06 15 9781800649347 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0332 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0332.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:78bbcc00-a336-4eb6-b4b5-0c57beec0295 03 01 01 urn:uuid:78bbcc00-a336-4eb6-b4b5-0c57beec0295 15 9781783748532 06 10.11647/OBP.0203 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Discourses We Live By Narratives of Educational and Social Endeavour 1 B01 21 0000-0002-3594-9780 Hazel R.

What are the embedded values and practices that underpin the ways people think and act?Discourses We Live By approaches these questions through narrative research, in a process that uses words, images, activities or artefacts to ask people – either individually or collectively within social groupings – to examine, discuss, portray or otherwise make public their place in the world, their sense of belonging to (and identity within) the physical and cultural space they inhabit.This book is a rich and multifaceted collection of twenty-eight chapters that use varied lenses to examine the discourses that shape people’s lives. The contributors are themselves from many backgrounds – different academic disciplines within the humanities and social sciences, diverse professional practices and a range of countries and cultures. They represent a broad spectrum of age, status and outlook, and variously apply their research methods – but share a common interest in people, their lives, thoughts and actions. Gathering such eclectic experiences as those of student-teachers in Kenya, a released prisoner in Denmark, academics in Colombia, a group of migrants learning English, and gambling addiction support-workers in Italy, alongside more mainstream educational themes, the book presents a fascinating array of insights.Discourses We Live By will be essential reading for adult educators and practitioners, those involved with educational and professional practice, narrative researchers, and many sociologists. It will appeal to all who want to know how narratives shape the way we live and the way we talk about our lives. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0203_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748518 06 15 9781783748525 06 15 9781783748532 06 15 9781800646148 06 15 9781783748563 06 15 9781783748549 06 15 9781783748556 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0203 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0203.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:1266d1e4-0cfb-41ae-a21a-6bb3d78826a1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1266d1e4-0cfb-41ae-a21a-6bb3d78826a1 15 9781805113393 06 10.11647/OBP.0411 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Diversity across the Arabian Peninsula Language, Culture, Nature 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9196-8695 Fabio Gasparini 2 B01 21 0000-0002-0907-1580 Kamala Russell 3 B01 21 0000-0002-2922-2964 Janet C.E.

Ranging from history, field linguistics, and cultural studies these essays address the diversity of languages, ways of life, and natural environments that have marked the region throughout its history. The book stems from the intellectual exchange and collaboration fostered by a virtual workshop that met regularly in 2020-21 and which drew participants from within and beyond the academy. The contributions gathered in this volume highlight the need for a better understanding of a region that hosts a vast amount of culturally and linguistically diverse material, often in a precarious state of conservation. Diversity Across the Arabian Peninsula argues for the importance of holistic, community-based, and interdisciplinary approaches to linguistic endangerment and deep social and cultural changes: there is no documentation of language without attention to language use, the material lifeworld and its ecology, and social and cultural setting. Such research is enriched and made more impactful through collaboration with communities and scholars from the Global South. The essays in this volume thus spearhead a contextualized study of South Arabian linguistic varieties and their connection with the natural and cultural world they inhabit. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0411_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113379 06 15 9781805113386 06 15 9781805113393 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0411.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0411 99 04 urn:uuid:1312613f-e01a-499a-b0d0-7289d5b9013d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1312613f-e01a-499a-b0d0-7289d5b9013d 15 9781783749959 06 10.11647/OBP.0219 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Diversity and Rabbinization Jewish Texts and Societies between 400 and 1000 CE 1 B01 Gavin McDowell 2 B01 Ron Naiweld 3 B01 Daniel Stökl Ben Ezra 01 eng 00 502 03 20 cultural diversity 12 JF 10 REL006020 12 JFSR1 10 LAN009010 20 religious diversity 12 CFF 20 Jewish communities 12 CFP 20 Late Antiquity 20 Early Middle Age 20 rabbis 01 06 03 00 This volume is dedicated to the cultural and religious diversity in Jewish communities from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Age and the growing influence of the rabbis within these communities during the same period. Drawing on available textual and material evidence, the fourteen essays presented here, written by leading experts in their fields, span a significant chronological and geographical range and cover material that has not yet received sufficient attention in scholarship.The volume is divided into four parts. The first focuses on the vantage point of the synagogue; the second and third on non-rabbinic Judaism in, respectively, the Near East and Europe; the final part turns from diversity within Judaism to the process of "rabbinization" as represented in some unusual rabbinic texts.Diversity and Rabbinization is a welcome contribution to the historical study of Judaism in all its complexity. It presents fresh perspectives on critical questions and allows us to rethink the tension between multiplicity and unity in Judaism during the first millennium CE. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0219_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749935 06 15 9781783749942 06 15 9781783749959 06 15 9781800646247 06 15 9781783749980 06 15 9781783749966 06 15 9781783749973 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0219 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0219.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:02fbde7d-48ca-4515-9dec-8f962960993f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:02fbde7d-48ca-4515-9dec-8f962960993f 15 9781805111030 06 10.11647/OBP.0357 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Divine Style Walt Whitman and the King James Bible 1 A01 F.

However, a study has yet to elucidate the precise manner in which the Bible has shaped Whitman’s poetic style.This is the deficit that F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp seeks to address in his new piece of literary scholarship: 'Divine Style: Walt Whitman and the King James Bible'. Dobbs-Allsopp, Professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, explicitly approaches Whitman from the perspective of a biblical scholar.Utilising his wealth of expertise in this field, he constructs a compelling, erudite and methodical argument for the King James Bible’s importance in the evolution of Whitman’s style – from his signature long lines to the prevalence of parallelism and tendency towards parataxis in his works. 'Divine Style' focuses on Whitman’s output in the years preceding the release of his 1855 opus 'Leaves of Grass' through the general period of the book’s first three editions. In this, Dobbs-Allsopp’s exploration of the period is exhaustive – covering not just Leaves of Grass but recently recovered notebooks, newly digitised manuscripts and additions to the corpus, such as the novel 'Life and Adventures of Jack Engle'.This is a work of careful, detailed scholarship, offering an authoritative commentary that will be a valuable resource for students of Whitman, biblical scholars and scholars of literature more generally. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0357_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111016 06 15 9781805111023 06 15 9781805111030 06 15 9781805111078 06 15 9781805111047 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0357 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0357.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b31b6f95-4dd4-4fa9-9c55-803ce2fd36ff 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b31b6f95-4dd4-4fa9-9c55-803ce2fd36ff 15 9781800641969 06 10.11647/OBP.0255 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Field Guides Series 01 01 Documentary Making for Digital Humanists 1 A01 21 0000-0002-5785-1071 Darren R.

It is designed to help scholars and students engage with their subjects using an audio-visual grammar, and to allow readers to efficiently gain the technical and theoretical skills necessary to create and disseminate their own trans-media projects.Documentary Making for Digital Humanists sets out the fundamentals of filmmaking, explores academic discourse on digital documentaries and online distribution, and considers the place of this discourse in the evolving academic landscape. The book walks its readers through the intellectual and practical processes of creating digital media and documentary projects. It is further equipped with video elements, supplementing specific chapters and providing brief and accessible introductions to the key components of the filmmaking process.This will be a valuable resource to humanist scholars and students seeking to embrace new media production and the digital landscape, and to those researchers interested in using means beyond the written word to disseminate their work. It constitutes a welcome contribution to the burgeoning field of digital humanities, as the first practical guide of its kind designed to facilitate humanist interactions with digital filmmaking, and to empower scholars and students alike to create and distribute new media audio-visual artefacts. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0255_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641945 06 15 9781800641952 06 15 9781800641969 06 15 9781800646490 06 15 9781800641990 06 15 9781800641976 06 15 9781800641983 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0255.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0255 99 04 urn:uuid:2d74b1a9-c3b0-4278-8cad-856fadc6a19d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2d74b1a9-c3b0-4278-8cad-856fadc6a19d 15 9781783744480 06 10.11647/OBP.0134 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Don Carlos Infante of Spain A Dramatic Poem 1 A01 Friedrich Schiller 2 Z01 Flora Kimmich 3 Z01 John Guthrie 01 eng 01 ger 00 214 03 12 DSG 20 Frederich Schiller 10 LIT004170 04 PT2473.D5 12 AN 20 Don Carlos Infante of Spain 10 LIT013000 20 german drama 20 iambic pentameter 20 translation 20 commentary 20 glossary 20 European literature and history 01 06 03 00 Schiller’s Don Carlos, written ten years before his great Wallenstein trilogy, testifies to the young playwright’s growing power. First performed in 1787, it stands at the culmination of Schiller’s formative development as a dramatist and is the first play written in his characteristic iambic pentameter. Don Carlos plunges the audience into the dangerous political and personal struggles that rupture the court of the Spanish King Philip II in 1658. The autocratic king’s son Don Carlos is caught between his political ideals, fostered by his friendship with the charismatic Marquis Posa, and his doomed love for his stepmother Elisabeth of Valois. These twin passions set him against his father, the brooding and tormented Philip, and the terrible power of the Catholic Church, represented in the play by the indelible figure of the Grand Inquisitor.Schiller described Don Carlos as "a family portrait in a princely house.” It interweaves political machinations with powerful personal relationships to create a complex and resonant tragedy. The conflict between absolutism and liberty appealed not only to audiences but also to other artists and gave rise to several operas, not least to Verdi’s great Don Carlos of 1867. The play, which the playwright never finished to his satisfaction, lives on nonetheless among his best-loved works and is translated here with flair and skill by Flora Kimmich. Like her translations of Schiller’s Wallenstein and his Fiesco’s Conspiracy at Genoa, this is a lively and accessible rendering of a classic text. As with all books in the Open Book Classics series, it is supported by an introduction and notes that will inform and enlighten both the student and the general reader. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0134_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783744466 06 15 9781783744473 06 15 9781783744480 06 15 9781800645530 06 15 9781783745944 06 15 9781783744497 06 15 9781783744503 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0134 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0134.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b190b3c5-88c0-4e4a-939a-26995b7ff95c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b190b3c5-88c0-4e4a-939a-26995b7ff95c 15 9781783748471 06 10.11647/OBP.0193 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Earth 2020 An Insider’s Guide to a Rapidly Changing Planet 1 B01 21 0000-0003-0212-2151 Philippe D.

This accessible, incisive, and timely collection of essays brings together a diverse set of expert voices to examine how the Earth’s environment has changed over this past half century, and what lies in store for our planet over the coming fifty years.Earth 2020: An Insider’s Guide to a Rapidly Changing Planet responds to a public increasingly concerned about the deterioration of Earth’s natural systems, offering readers a wealth of perspectives on our shared ecological past, and on the future trajectory of planet Earth.Written by world-leading thinkers on the front-lines of global change research and policy, this multi-disciplinary collection maintains a dual focus: some essays investigate specific facets of the physical Earth system, while others explore the social, legal and political dimensions shaping the human environmental footprint. In doing so, the essays collectively highlight the urgent need for collaboration across diverse domains of expertise in addressing one of the most significant challenges facing us today.Earth 2020 is essential reading for everyone seeking a deeper understanding of the past, present and future of our planet, and the role of humanity in shaping this trajectory. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0193_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748457 06 15 9781783748464 06 15 9781783748471 06 15 9781800646056 06 15 9781783748501 06 15 9781783748488 06 15 9781783748495 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0193 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0193.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:4b0a4b51-a5b3-46fe-8029-b1a11a0039d3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4b0a4b51-a5b3-46fe-8029-b1a11a0039d3 15 9781800643161 06 10.11647/OBP.0274 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Ecocene Politics 1 A01 21 0000-0001-5829-4644 Mihnea Tănăsescu 01 eng 00 212 03 20 ecology 10 NAT010000 12 RNKC 20 Ecocene 10 NAT011000 12 RNKH 20 politics 12 RND 10 SCI026000 20 ethics 20 mutualism 20 modernity 20 philosophy 20 Māori 20 Anthropocene 01 06 03 00 Anchored in the diverse ecological practices of communities in southern Italy and Aotearoa/New Zealand, this book devises a unique and considered theoretical response to the shortcomings of global politics in the Ecocene—a new temporal epoch characterised by the increasingly frequent intrusion of ecological processes into political life.Dismantling the use of the term ‘Anthropocene’ as a descriptor for our current ecological and political paradigm, this bold and resolutely original contribution proposes a restorative ethics of mutualism. An emancipatory theory intended to re-invigorate human agency in the face of contemporary ecological challenges, it posits an effective means to combat the environmental destruction engendered by modernity.Using ecology alongside European moral and Māori philosophies to re-conceptualise the ecological remit of politics, this book’s granular approach questions the role played by contemporary political ontologies in the separation of humans and environments, offering an in-depth view of their renewed interrelation under mutualism.Ecocene Politics will be essential to researchers and students in the fields of politics, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and geography. It will be of further interest to those working in the fields of political ecology, environmental humanities, and Anthropocene studies, as well as to general readers seeking a theoretical approach to the political issues posed by current ecological crises. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0274_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Vrije Universiteit Brussel 16 Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643147 06 15 9781800643154 06 15 9781800643161 06 15 9781800646803 06 15 9781800643192 06 15 9781800643178 06 15 9781800643185 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0274.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0274 99 04 urn:uuid:a5e6aa48-02ba-48e4-887f-1c100a532de8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a5e6aa48-02ba-48e4-887f-1c100a532de8 15 9781906924799 06 10.11647/OBP.0020 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 01 01 Economic Fables 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1574-2659 Ariel Rubinstein 01 eng 00 264 03 10 BIO021000 04 HB71 12 KCA 20 Microeconomics 10 BUS044000 20 economic models 20 economic theory 20 game theory 20 John Nash 20 Hotelling's Game 20 Beautiful Mind 01 06 03 00 I had the good fortune to grow up in a wonderful area of Jerusalem, surrounded by a diverse range of people: Rabbi Meizel, the communist Sala Marcel, my widowed Aunt Hannah, and the intellectual Yaacovson. As far as I'm concerned, the opinion of such people is just as authoritative for making social and economic decisions as the opinion of an expert using a model. Part memoir, part crash-course in economic theory, this deeply engaging book by one of the world's foremost economists looks at economic ideas through a personal lens. Together with an introduction to some of the central concepts in modern economic thought, Ariel Rubinstein offers some powerful and entertaining reflections on his childhood, family and career. In doing so, he challenges many of the central tenets of game theory, and sheds light on the role economics can play in society at large. The book is as thought-provoking for seasoned economists as it is enlightening for newcomers to the field. Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind, describes Economics Fables as a "wonderfully inviting introduction to game theory, rich in personalities, history and sense of place. Ariel Rubinstein is not only a brilliant theorist with a knack for lucid exposition, but a gifted storyteller. Students will find the ideas surprisingly accessible. Aspiring scholars, wondering whether a life of the mind is worth pursuing, will find his personal journey of intellectual discovery thrilling." 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0020_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2012 06 15 9781906924775 06 15 9781906924799 06 15 9781800644472 06 15 9781906924805 06 15 9781906924812 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0020 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0020.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:86c64385-5b9f-47b7-8cbd-fbd9c1960f53 03 01 01 urn:uuid:86c64385-5b9f-47b7-8cbd-fbd9c1960f53 15 9781805117032 06 10.11647/OBP.0489 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Education 2.0 Chronicles of Technological and Cultural Change in Egypt 1 B01 Linda Herrera 01 eng 00 562 03 10 EDU034000 20 Egypt 93 JNF 04 LA1646 93 1QFG 10 EDU043000 20 Education reform 20 Digital transformation 10 EDU039000 93 JP 93 1FB 10 EDU016000 20 Public education 20 Hybrid learning 10 SOC042000 20 Distance learning 01 06 03 00 Education 2.0 offers a compelling portrait of Egypt’s bold attempt to overhaul its public education system amid sweeping political and technological transformation. Drawing on extensive oral history interviews, this book traces the launch and rollout of the ‘New Education System’ initiated by the Ministry of Education in 2018, designed to modernize curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment in the digital age and change the ‘culture of learning’. The volume moves fluidly from macro-level state planning to the lived experiences of teachers and students, exploring the promises and pitfalls of top-down reform. Conducted partly during the COVID-19 pandemic, the research captures Egypt’s first large-scale experiment with hybrid and distance learning. Interviews with key actors—from policymakers and tech developers to students and educators—reveal competing visions, unintended consequences, and the challenges of culturally transforming education systems in a middle-income country where private tutoring is rife, the sector is chronically under resourced, and politics overshadows policy.This book is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in education reform, digital transformation, and the role of the state in shaping learning futures in the Global South. It is also an excellent case study for courses in Middle East studies and comparative and international education. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0489_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805117018 06 15 9781805117025 06 15 9781805117032 06 15 9781805117056 06 15 9781805117049 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0489 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0489.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:667003ac-b7c4-416e-9bb1-412c09dd895d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:667003ac-b7c4-416e-9bb1-412c09dd895d 15 9781805112358 06 10.11647/OBP.0392 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Eliza Orme’s Ambitions Politics and the Law in Victorian London 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7160-9436 Leslie Howsam 01 eng 00 176 03 12 BGH 10 BIO022000 93 DNB 20 Eliza Orme 04 KD632.O76 12 1DBK 10 HIS015000 20 History of British women in higher education 93 NHD 93 JBSF1 12 JFSJ1 10 SOC028000 20 Women's suffrage 12 HBLL 93 JPL 20 late-Victorian and Edwardian ages 10 POL015000 12 HBJD1 10 HIS037060 20 Legal community 20 Women's professional lives 01 06 03 00 Why are some figures hidden from history? Eliza Orme, despite becoming the first woman in Britain to earn a university degree in Law in 1888, leading both a political organization and a labour investigation in 1892, and participating actively in the women’s suffrage movement into the early twentieth century, is one such figure. Framed as a ‘research memoir’, Eliza Orme’s Ambitions fills out earlier scant accounts of this intriguing life, while speculating about why it has been overlooked. Established historian Leslie Howsam shapes the story around her own persistent curiosity in the context of a transformed research landscape, where important letters and explosive newspaper accounts have only recently come to light. These materials show how Orme’s career ambitions brought her into conflict with the male-dominated legal community of her time, while her political ambitions were cut short by disputes with other women activists whose notions of political strategy she repudiated. In public, Orme was a formidable debater for the causes she supported and against opponents whose strategies—even for women’s suffrage—she repudiated. In private, she was generous, warm, and witty, close to friends, family, and her female partner. Howsam’s account of uncovering Orme’s professional and personal trajectory will appeal to academic and non-academic readers interested in the progress and setbacks women experienced in the late-Victorian and Edwardian decades. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0392_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112334 06 15 9781805112341 06 15 9781805112358 06 15 9781805112389 06 15 9781805112365 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0392 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0392.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:2b63a26d-0db1-4200-983f-8b69d9821d8b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2b63a26d-0db1-4200-983f-8b69d9821d8b 15 9781783747993 06 10.11647/OBP.0185 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 Engaging Researchers with Data Management The Cookbook 1 B01 21 0000-0002-4369-196X Connie Clare 2 B01 21 0000-0001-9111-182X Maria Cruz 3 B01 Elli Papadopoulou 4 B01 21 0000-0002-4737-5673 James Savage 5 B01 21 0000-0001-8520-5598 Marta Teperek 6 B01 21 0000-0003-3214-4271 Yan Wang 01 eng 00 170 03 10 COM021030 20 Effective Research Data Management 12 GPS 04 Q180.55.E4 12 GP 20 RDM 10 SCI043000 20 data 12 KJMV6 10 REF020000 20 research integrity 10 SOC024000 12 UNC 20 reproducible research 12 UNF 20 support to researchers 01 06 03 00 Effective Research Data Management (RDM) is a key component of research integrity and reproducible research, and its importance is increasingly emphasised by funding bodies, governments, and research institutions around the world. However, many researchers are unfamiliar with RDM best practices, and research support staff are faced with the difficult task of delivering support to researchers across different disciplines and career stages. What strategies can institutions use to solve these problems?Engaging Researchers with Data Management is an invaluable collection of 24 case studies, drawn from institutions across the globe, that demonstrate clearly and practically how to engage the research community with RDM. These case studies together illustrate the variety of innovative strategies research institutions have developed to engage with their researchers about managing research data. Each study is presented concisely and clearly, highlighting the essential ingredients that led to its success and challenges encountered along the way. By interviewing key staff about their experiences and the organisational context, the authors of this book have created an essential resource for organisations looking to increase engagement with their research communities.This handbook is a collaboration by research institutions, for research institutions. It aims not only to inspire and engage, but also to help drive cultural change towards better data management. It has been written for anyone interested in RDM, or simply, good research practice. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0185_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747979 06 15 9781783747986 06 15 9781783747993 06 15 9781800645974 06 15 9781783748020 06 15 9781783748006 06 15 9781783748013 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0185.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0185 99 04 urn:uuid:cedb58f1-b88f-476c-b7c8-bc5869a2a6ba 03 01 01 urn:uuid:cedb58f1-b88f-476c-b7c8-bc5869a2a6ba 15 9781800643949 06 10.11647/OBP.0288 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Engaging with Everyday Sounds 1 A01 21 0000-0003-3677-7076 Marcel Cobussen 01 eng 00 118 03 12 AVA 04 BF323.L5 20 exploration 10 MUS020000 12 JHMC 20 sounds in everyday life 10 TEC001000 20 human actions 10 MUS054000 12 TTA 20 emotions 12 HPS 12 HPX 20 imagination 20 sonic studies 20 sonic materialism 01 06 03 00 'Engaging With Everyday Sounds' is a rich and inspiring exploration of the role of sounds in everyday life, including their impact on human actions, emotions, and imagination. Marcel Cobussen intertwines sonic studies with philosophy, sound art, sociology and more to create an impressively lucid and innovative guide to sonic materialism, calling for a re-sensitization to our acoustic environment and arguing that everyday sounds have (micro)political, social, and ethical impact to which we should attend. Exploring the intellectual history of sound studies as well as local, global, and temporal sonic geographies, Cobussen weaves audio files, images, and journal excerpts into his work to create a multimodal monograph that explores the relationships of humans, nonhumans, and their environments through sound. This accessible and interdisciplinary collection of short, powerful essays will be valuable reading for both academics and the general reader interested in sound studies, sound art, philosophy, or the sociology of everyday life—and for anyone keen to think about the sonic in new and engaging ways. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0288_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643925 06 15 9781800643932 06 15 9781800643949 06 15 9781800646728 06 15 9781800643970 06 15 9781800643956 06 15 9781800643963 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0288 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0288.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:36c67121-30a5-431f-a790-053e88f6bb49 03 01 01 urn:uuid:36c67121-30a5-431f-a790-053e88f6bb49 15 9781800642201 06 10.11647/OBP.0259 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Forms of Life and Subjectivity Rethinking Sartre’s Philosophy 1 A01 21 0000-0002-9338-8061 Daniel Rueda Garrido 01 eng 00 352 03 04 B2430.S34 12 HP 20 life 10 PHI018000 12 PDX 10 PHI006000 20 subjectivity 12 HPJ 20 Sartre 10 SCI075000 12 HPCF3 20 philosophy 10 SOC026040 20 ontology 20 phenomenology 20 forms of life 20 identity 20 power 20 conversion 20 intersubjectivity 20 freedom 20 facticity 20 imitation 20 reproduction 20 capitalism 20 art 20 cultural studies 20 psychology 20 anthropology 20 social sciences 01 06 03 00 'Forms of Life and Subjectivity: Rethinking Sartre’s Philosophy' explores the fundamental question of why we act as we do. Informed by an ontological and phenomenological approach, and building mainly, but not exclusively, on the thought of Sartre, Daniel Rueda Garrido considers the concept of a "form of life” as a term that bridges the gap between subjective identity and communities.This first systematic ontology of "forms of life” seeks to understand why we act in certain ways, and why we cling to certain identities, such as nationalisms, social movements, cultural minorities, racism, or religion. The answer, as Rueda Garrido argues, depends on an understanding of ourselves as "forms of life” that remains sensitive to the relationship between ontology and power, between what we want to be and what we ought to be.Structured in seven chapters, Rueda Garrido’s investigation yields illuminating and timely discussions of conversion, the constitution of subjectivity as an intersubjective self, the distinction between imitation and reproduction, the relationship between freedom and facticity, and the dialectical process by which two particular ways of being and acting enter into a situation of assimilation-resistance, as exemplified by capitalist and artistic forms of life.This ambitious and original work will be of great interest to scholars and students of philosophy, social sciences, cultural studies, psychology and anthropology. Its wide-ranging reflection on the human being and society will also appeal to the general reader of philosophy. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0259_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800642188 06 15 9781800642195 06 15 9781800642201 06 15 9781800646520 06 15 9781800642232 06 15 9781800642218 06 15 9781800642225 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0259 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0259.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:dbbf7e0d-95cb-4575-aaad-cd4dcc4964bc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:dbbf7e0d-95cb-4575-aaad-cd4dcc4964bc 15 9781805110279 06 10.11647/OBP.0345 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 For Palestine Essays from the Tom Hurndall Memorial Lecture Group 1 B01 21 0000-0001-5950-464X Ian Parker 01 eng 00 296 03 12 1FBP 04 DS119.7 10 HIS019000 20 invasion of Iraq 93 NHG 12 1FBH 10 HIS054000 93 NHTB 20 Tom Hurndall 12 AMA 10 HIS027170 93 NHWR9 20 photography 12 JFC 93 JHMC 20 Middle East 10 SOC002010 12 JF 20 Palestine 20 conflict 12 HBTB 20 Zionism 20 politics 20 sociology 01 06 03 00 “I am not afraid to look.” – Tom Hurndall, 2003.On the eve of the invasion of Iraq in February 2003, Tom Hurndall, a photography student at Manchester Metropolitan University, travelled from Manchester to the Middle East to witness the horrors in Iraq and then later in Palestine. Tom was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier on 11 April 2003 whilst attempting to rescue two children trapped by Israeli sniper fire. He later died in hospital on 13 January 2004 without gaining consciousness. He is remembered for his determination to bear witness to the conflict in Palestine and his bravery to capture the atrocities directed towards the suppression of the Palestine people. This book is a collection of lectures written by reputable scholars who offer diverse perspectives on the historical, political and cultural struggles in Palestine. Encompassed in the pages are sixteen chapters produced for the Tom Hurndall Memorial Lecture Group. Unlike predecessors of this topic, this book offers a thought-provoking and comprehensive analysis of Palestine, including architectural, cultural, legal, sociological, and psychological questions, providing a larger scope of study that has not yet been done before. Ultimately, this book explores oppression in Palestine and beyond in the Middle East.The vast study and in-depth exploration makes this an ideal book for those who are interested in the Palestine conflict, Zionism, Israel and further conflict in the Middle East, as well as a necessity for those who are studying the topic in education settings. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0345_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110255 06 15 9781805110262 06 15 9781805110279 06 15 9781805110316 06 15 9781805110309 06 15 9781805110286 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0345 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0345.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:1654967f-82f1-4ed0-ae81-7ebbfb9c183d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1654967f-82f1-4ed0-ae81-7ebbfb9c183d 15 9781909254466 06 10.11647/OBP.0029 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 01 01 Foundations for Moral Relativism 1 A01 J.

It is the story of their personal and collective values, their mistakes, and the challenges they faced, and it will resonate with anyone who has tried to organize and work with a group of very different people.This book is also a contribution for those seeking to influence international policy, especially from a disadvantageous position. It explores how to find your voice, use your survival skills, work with passion, decide how much to concede and act responsibly. Together, these lessons illuminate the paths that individual members have walked as they found their own voices, as well as how the g7+ fights to speak collectively. The book ends with a glimpse of the way forward, as Isabel Rocha de Siqueira encourages younger generations to engage with politics and policy generously, with hope for the future.Combining literature and hard facts – along with other elements such as illustrations, cartoon strips and photographs to tell the previously untold stories of public servants in poor, conflict-affected countries, the book offers an original (and very human) micro and macro perspective on the politics of development. It will be of interest to professionals in major development organisations, students and professors in development courses, policymakers, public servants, civil society, activists working for major international NGOs, and journalists who report on the development industry, as well as those with a general interest in international development cooperation, international diplomacy and other related fields. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0311_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647930 06 15 9781800647947 06 15 9781800647954 06 15 9781800647992 06 15 9781800647985 06 15 9781800647961 06 15 9781800647978 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0311.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0311 99 04 urn:uuid:3083819d-1084-418a-85d4-4f71c2fea139 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3083819d-1084-418a-85d4-4f71c2fea139 15 9781783745517 06 10.11647/OBP.0151 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 From Darkness to Light Writers in Museums 1798-1898 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2778-6168 Rosella Mamoli Zorzi 2 B01 Katherine Manthorne 01 eng 00 392 03 10 ART000000 20 museum lighting 04 NK2115.5.L5 12 WTHM 12 A 10 ART059000 20 exhibition spaces 12 AB 20 America 10 ARC007010 12 AG 20 Japan 20 Western Europe 20 nineteenth century 20 twentieth century 01 06 03 00 From Darkness to Light explores from a variety of angles the subject of museum lighting in exhibition spaces in America, Japan, and Western Europe throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Written by an array of international experts, these collected essays gather perspectives from a diverse range of cultural sensibilities. From sensitive discussions of Tintoretto’s unique approach to the play of light and darkness as exhibited in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, to the development of museum lighting as part of Japanese artistic self-fashioning, via the story of an epic American painting on tour, museum illumination in the work of Henry James, and lighting alterations at Chatsworth (to name only a few topics) this book is a treasure trove of illuminating contributions.The collection is at once a refreshing insight for the enthusiastic museum-goer, who is brought to an awareness of the exhibit in its immediate environment, and a wide-ranging scholarly compendium for the professional who seeks to proceed in their academic or curatorial work with a more enlightened sense of the lighted space. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0151_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783745494 06 15 9781783745500 06 15 9781783745517 06 15 9781800645707 06 15 9781783747238 06 15 9781783745524 06 15 9781783745531 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0151 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0151.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:5bf6450f-99a7-4375-ad94-d5bde1b0282c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5bf6450f-99a7-4375-ad94-d5bde1b0282c 15 9781783740642 06 10.11647/OBP.0052 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 From Dust to Digital Ten Years of the Endangered Archives Programme 1 B01 Maja Kominko 01 eng 00 722 03 20 Archives 10 ART056000 12 GLP 04 Z701.3.D54 20 documentary heritage 12 JFC 10 SOC002010 12 JFCD 20 preservation 20 digitisation 20 Endangered Archives Programme 20 cultural heritage 20 British Library 01 06 03 00 Much of world’s documentary heritage rests in vulnerable, little-known and often inaccessible archives. Many of these archives preserve information that may cast new light on historical phenomena and lead to their reinterpretation. But such rich collections are often at risk of being lost before the history they capture is recorded. This volume celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Endangered Archives Programme at the British Library, established to document and publish online formerly inaccessible and neglected archives from across the globe. From Dust to Digital showcases the historical significance of the collections identified, catalogued and digitised through the Programme, bringing together articles on 19 of the 244 projects supported since its inception. These contributions demonstrate the range of materials documented — including rock inscriptions, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers, photographs and sound archives — and the wide geographical scope of the Programme. Many of the documents are published here for the first time, illustrating the potential these collections have to further our understanding of history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0052_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 British Library Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783740628 06 15 9781783740635 06 15 9781783740642 06 15 9781800644793 06 15 9781783740659 06 15 9781783740666 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0052 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0052.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:d16896b7-691e-4620-9adb-1d7a42c69bde 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d16896b7-691e-4620-9adb-1d7a42c69bde 15 9781800642140 06 10.11647/OBP.0258 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 From Goethe to Gundolf Essays on German Literature and Culture 1 A01 21 0000-0002-4928-4513 Roger Paulin 01 eng 00 422 03 12 D 20 German Literature 10 LIT004170 04 PR2971.G3 20 German Culture 12 JFCX 10 LIT004130 04 P39 12 FC 20 Goethe 10 LIT024030 12 3J 10 FIC102000 20 Schiller 12 1DFG 20 Schlegels 12 2ACG 20 Gundolf 01 06 03 00 From Goethe to Gundolf: Essays on German Literature and Culture is a collection of Roger Paulin’s groundbreaking essays, spanning the last forty years. The work represents his major research interests of Romanticism and the reception of Shakespeare in Germany, but also explores a broader range of themes, from poetry and the public memorialization of poets to fairy stories - all meticulously researched, yet highly accessible.As a comprehensive examination of German literary history in the period 1700-1900, the collection not only includes accounts of the lives and work of Goethe, Schiller, the Schlegels, and Gundolf (amongst others), serving to nuance our understanding of these figures in history, but also considers diverse (and often underexplored) topics, from academic freedom to the rise of travel literature.The essays have been reformulated, corrected, and updated to add references to recent works. However, the core foundations of the originals remain, and just as when they were first published, the value of these essays – to researchers, students, and all those who are interested in German literary history – cannot be overstated. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0258_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800642126 06 15 9781800642133 06 15 9781800642140 06 15 9781800646513 06 15 9781800642171 06 15 9781800642157 06 15 9781800642164 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0258 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0258.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:bd95a164-305c-45ac-a67c-e8ed1b5f3ca3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:bd95a164-305c-45ac-a67c-e8ed1b5f3ca3 15 9781805110897 06 10.11647/OBP.0355 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 From Handwriting to Footprinting Text and Heritage in the Age of Climate Crisis 1 A01 21 0000-0002-4593-059X Anne Baillot 01 eng 00 177 03 93 ABC 10 ART056000 12 GM 20 preservation 04 Z110.R4 20 access 12 GLP 93 JHMC 10 SOC002010 12 H 93 RNPG 10 SCI092000 20 sustainability 20 digital humanities 12 RNPG 20 archiving 20 digital dissemination 20 climate crisis 01 06 03 00 How do we currently preserve and access texts, and will our current methods be sustainable in the future?In From Handwriting to Footprinting, Anne Baillot seeks to answer this question by offering a detailed analysis of the methods that enable access to textual materials, in particular, access to books of literary significance. Baillot marshals her considerable expertise in the field of digital humanities to establish a philological overview of the changing boundaries of ‘access’ to literary heritage over centuries, deconstructing the western tradition of archiving and how it has led to current digital dissemination practices. Rigorously examining the negative environmental impact of digital publishing and archiving, Baillot proposes an alternative model of preservation and dissemination which reconciles fundamental traditions with the values of social responsibility and sustainability in an era of climate crisis. Integrating historical, archival and environmental perspectives, From Handwriting to Footprinting illuminates the impact that digitisation has had on the dissemination and preservation of textual heritage and reflects on what its future may hold. It is invaluable reading for anyone interested in textual history from a linguistic or philological perspective, as well as those working on publishing, archival and infrastructure projects that require the storing and long-term preservation of texts, or who want to know how to develop a more mindful attachment to digitised material. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0355_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110873 06 15 9781805110880 06 15 9781805110897 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0355 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0355.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:3a167e24-36b5-4d0e-b55f-af6be9a7c827 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3a167e24-36b5-4d0e-b55f-af6be9a7c827 15 9781906924898 06 10.11647/OBP.0026 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 01 01 Frontier Encounters Knowledge and Practice at the Russian, Chinese and Mongolian Border 1 B01 21 0000-0002-0007-2931 Franck Billé 2 B01 Grégory Delaplace 3 B01 Caroline Humphrey 01 eng 00 291 03 04 DS740.5.R8 12 JHMC 20 Russia 10 SOC002010 20 China 10 HIS003000 12 RGCP 20 Mongolia 10 POL011010 20 anthropology 20 Asia 20 international relations 01 06 03 00 China and Russia are rising economic and political powers that share thousands of miles of border. Yet, despite their proximity, their practical, local interactions with each other — and with their third neighbour Mongolia — are rarely discussed. The three countries share a boundary, but their traditions, languages and worldviews are remarkably different. Frontier Encounters presents a wide range of views on how the borders between these unique countries are enacted, produced, and crossed. It sheds light on global uncertainties: China’s search for energy resources and the employment of its huge population, Russia’s fear of Chinese migration, and the precarious economic independence of Mongolia as its neighbours negotiate to extract its plentiful resources. Bringing together anthropologists, sociologists and economists, this timely collection of essays offers new perspectives on an area that is currently of enormous economic, strategic and geo-political relevance. This collective volume is the outcome of a network project funded by the ESRC (RES-075-25_0022) entitled "Where Empires Meet: The Border Economies of Russia, China and Mongolia”. The project, based at the Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit (University of Cambridge), ran from 28 January 2010 to 27 January 2011. That project formed the foundation for a new and ongoing research project "The life of borders: where China and Russia meet" which commenced in October 2012. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0026_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK 04 19 2012 06 15 9781906924874 06 15 9781906924881 06 15 9781906924898 06 15 9781800644533 06 15 9781906924904 06 15 9781906924911 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0026 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0026.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:1471f4c3-a88c-4301-b98a-7193be6dde4b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1471f4c3-a88c-4301-b98a-7193be6dde4b 15 9781783748891 06 10.11647/OBP.0198 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Gallucci's Commentary on Dürer’s 'Four Books on Human Proportion' Renaissance Proportion Theory 1 A01 21 0000-0002-0578-6052 James Hutson 01 eng 01 ita 00 226 03 12 ACND 10 ART015080 20 Giovanni Paolo Gallucci 04 N7570 12 ABA 20 Albrecht Dürer 04 G35 10 SOC002000 20 Four Books on Human Proportion 12 JHMP 20 arts education 20 relationships between beauty and proportion 01 06 03 00 In 1591, Giovanni Paolo Gallucci published his Della simmetria dei corpi humani, an Italian translation of Albrecht Dürer’s Four Books on Human Proportion. While Dürer’s treatise had been translated earlier in the sixteenth-century into French and Latin, it was Gallucci’s Italian translation that endured in popularity as the most cited version of the text in later Baroque treatises, covering topics that were seen as central to arts education, connoisseurship, patronage, and the wider appreciation of the studia humanitatis in general.The text centres on the relationships between beauty and proportion, macrocosm and microcosm: relationships that were not only essential to the visual arts in the early modern era, but that cut across a range of disciplines – music, physiognomics and humoral readings, astronomy, astrology and cosmology, theology and philosophy, even mnemonics and poetry. In his version of the text, Gallucci expanded the educational potential of the treatise by adding a Preface, a Life of Dürer, and a Fifth Book providing a philosophical framework within which to interpret Dürer’s previous sections.This translation is the first to make these original contributions by Gallucci accessible to an English-speaking audience. Gallucci’s contributions illuminate the significance of symmetry and proportion in the contemporary education of the early modern era, informing our understanding of the intellectual history of this period, and the development of art theory and criticism. This is a valuable resource to early modern scholars and students alike, especially those specialising in history of art, philosophy, history of science, and poetry. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0198_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748877 06 15 9781783748884 06 15 9781783748891 06 15 9781800646094 06 15 9781783748624 06 15 9781783748600 06 15 9781783748617 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0198.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0198 99 04 urn:uuid:0e22307d-4b0d-4c3e-8f97-f199ae8377f6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0e22307d-4b0d-4c3e-8f97-f199ae8377f6 15 9781805114505 06 10.11647/OBP.0436 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Gender-Based Violence in Arts and Culture Perspectives on Education and Work 1 B01 Marie Buscatto 2 B01 21 0000-0001-7248-4671 Sari Karttunen 3 B01 Mathilde Provansal 01 eng 00 231 03 20 Gender-Based Violence (GBV) 04 HV6250.4.W65 93 JBFK 10 SOC032000 93 JBSF1 10 SOC028000 20 sociology 20 Cultural studies 93 JBSF11 10 SOC051000 20 art and cultural work 93 JBFK2 10 SOC031000 93 ATX 20 gender studies 10 PER000000 20 artistic education 01 06 03 00 This book offers a groundbreaking exploration of the pervasive issue of gender-based violence (GBV) within the realms of art and cultural production. This collection of essays delves into both the overt and subtle forms of GBV. It spans sexual harassment, assault, and the everyday sexism ingrained in creative workplaces and art schools, in both professional and private dimensions. The book covers a wide array of artistic sectors—opera, visual arts, music, and theatre—across diverse global contexts, from Europe to Asia and North America.By incorporating feminist and sociological theories, the essays not only examine the structural power dynamics that perpetuate GBV but also highlight efforts to challenge and dismantle these systems. The book addresses both criminal acts of violence and the "ordinary" forms of sexism that pervade artistic spaces, making visible the normalized patterns of behavior that maintain gender inequality. The volume is divided into three parts: the production of GBV, its representations in cultural work, and the initiatives to counteract it.A crucial contribution to ongoing discussions of workplace and educational inequality, this timely volume fills a notable gap in research on gender-based violence within the arts. Its methodological rigor and international perspective ensure that it will serve as a key resource for scholars, practitioners, and advocates alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0436_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114482 06 15 9781805114499 06 15 9781805114505 06 15 9781805114529 06 15 9781805114512 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0436 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0436.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:812c14fc-2289-4e18-b3a6-abe2286b27f4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:812c14fc-2289-4e18-b3a6-abe2286b27f4 15 9781800648869 06 10.11647/OBP.0325 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Genetic Inroads into the Art of James Joyce 1 A01 Hans Walter Gabler 01 eng 00 458 03 12 DS 93 DSB 20 James Joyce 10 LIT024000 04 PR6019.O9 20 Composition analysis 93 DSBH 12 DSK 10 LIT004130 20 Genetic editing 10 LIT024050 93 PSAK 12 U 12 DSBH 20 Joyce's Ulysses 20 Literary analysis 01 06 03 00 This book is a treasure trove comprising core writings from Hans Walter Gabler‘s seminal work on James Joyce, spanning fifty years from the analysis of composition he undertook towards a critical text of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, through the Critical and Synoptic Edition of Ulysses, to Gabler‘s latest essays on (appropriately enough) Joyce’s sustained artistic innovation. Not only does this span of essays trace the evolution of Gabler’s thinking about Joyce’s originality and creative energy. It also reflects the development and maturation of Gabler‘s own genetic criticism and his methodology of genetic editing, which grows in depth and complexity across the collection. The reader will explore Joyce’s life and works through Gabler’s incisive eye, while also examining a progress of his reflections on his edition of Ulysses and the past controversy that beset it.This classic compendium combining well-seasoned scholarship and fresh criticism is an essential read for critics of Modernism, digital humanists, scholars and students of James Joyce, and anyone interested in the art of literary analysis. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0325_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800648845 06 15 9781800648852 06 15 9781800648869 06 15 9781800648906 06 15 9781800648876 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0325.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0325 99 04 urn:uuid:3a1cb594-e934-4490-9fb2-cb05881db59b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3a1cb594-e934-4490-9fb2-cb05881db59b 15 9781805114017 06 10.11647/OBP.0426 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Genetic Narratology Analysing Narrative across Versions 1 B01 21 0000-0002-7066-6313 Dirk Van Hulle 01 eng 00 320 03 20 Genetic Narratology 93 GTD 10 LIT006000 04 PN3355 93 FX 10 LIT007000 20 Narrative Theory 93 DS 10 LIT024000 20 Writing Process 93 DSA 10 LAN005050 20 Textual Variants 20 Manuscript Studies 20 Story Genesis 01 06 03 00 Genetic Narratology is the first full-length volume to merge genetic criticism with narratology, offering an innovative approach to understanding literature. By examining the creative process behind literary works through drafts, manuscripts and revisions, this book reveals how narratives are shaped in real time.Through diverse case studies—from Charlotte Brontë to Stephen King—this collection demonstrates how the material processes of writing influence narrative structure, pacing, and even the ‘untold’. By integrating genetic criticism with narratological methods, contributors explore how stories evolve, providing fresh insights into time, space, character, and suspense.Bridging the gap between the production and reception of texts, this volume makes a compelling case for incorporating genetic methods into broader narratological frameworks, enhancing not only our understanding of the genesis of literary works, ultimately enriching the reading experience, but also our awareness of the ways we narrativise this genesis.The book will be of interest to students and researchers alike, offering a new set of tools for analysing narrative across different versions. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0426_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) 01 projectname Creating Suspense Across Versions: Genetic Narratology and Stephen King’s IT 01 grantnumber G007422N Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113997 06 15 9781805114000 06 15 9781805114017 06 15 9781805114031 06 15 9781805114024 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0426 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0426.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:101eb7c2-f15f-41f9-b53a-dfccd4b28301 03 01 01 urn:uuid:101eb7c2-f15f-41f9-b53a-dfccd4b28301 15 9781800641259 06 10.11647/OBP.0212 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Global Communications 01 01 Global Warming in Local Discourses How Communities around the World Make Sense of Climate Change 1 B01 21 0000-0001-7994-3914 Michael Brüggemann 2 B01 21 0000-0003-4013-6183 Simone Rödder 01 eng 00 286 03 20 climate change 04 QC981.8.G56 12 RN 10 SCI019000 20 international politics 12 RNT 10 SCI026000 20 local communities 12 RNA 10 SCI042000 12 JFD 10 SOC026040 20 transnational discourses 20 Greenland 12 J 20 Tanzania 20 culture 20 geography 20 sense-making 20 sustainability 01 06 03 00 Global news on anthropogenic climate change is shaped by international politics, scientific reports and voices from transnational protest movements. This timely volume asks how local communities engage with these transnational discourses.The chapters in this volume present a range of compelling case studies drawn from a broad cross-section of local communities around the world, reflecting diverse cultural and geographical contexts. From Greenland to northern Tanzania, it illuminates how different understandings evolve in diverse cultural and geographical contexts while also revealing some common patterns of how people make sense of climate change. Global Warming in Local Discourses constitutes a significant, new contribution to understanding the multi-perspectivity of our debates on climate change, further highlighting the need for interdisciplinary study within this area.It will be a valuable resource to those studying climate and science communication; those interested in understanding the various roles played by journalism, NGOs, politics and science in shaping public understandings of climate change, as well as those exploring the intersections of the global and the local in debates on the sustainable transformation of societies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0212_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783749591 06 15 9781783749607 06 15 9781800641259 06 15 9781800646186 06 15 9781783749409 06 15 9781783749386 06 15 9781783749393 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0212 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0212.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:32e99c61-2352-4a88-bb9a-bd81f113ba1e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:32e99c61-2352-4a88-bb9a-bd81f113ba1e 15 9781783740543 06 10.11647/OBP.0048 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 God's Babies Natalism and Bible Interpretation in Modern America 1 A01 21 0000-0003-4753-6382 John McKeown 01 eng 00 260 03 20 Christianlity 12 HRAM 04 QP251 10 REL006050 12 HRCG3 20 Natalism 10 REL012030 20 family 10 NAT011000 12 RNA 20 fecundity 20 Bible 20 ecology 20 biodiversity 01 06 03 00 The human population's annual total consumption is not sustainable by one planet. This unprecedented situation calls for a reformation in religious cultures that promote a large ideal family size. Many observers assume that Christianity is inevitably part of this problem because it promotes "family values" and statistically, in America and elsewhere, has a higher birthrate than nonreligious people. This book explores diverse ideas about human reproduction in the church past and present. It investigates an extreme fringe of U.S. Protestantism, including the Quiverfull movement, that use Old Testament "fruitful" verses to support natalist ideas explicitly promoting higher fecundity. It also challenges the claim by some natalists that Martin Luther in the 16th century advocated similar ideas. This book argues that natalism is inappropriate as a Christian application of Scripture, especially since rich populations’ total footprints are detrimental to biodiversity and to human welfare. It explores the ancient cultural context of the Bible verses quoted by natalists. Challenging the assumption that religion normally promotes fecundity, the book finds surprising exceptions among early Christians (with a special focus on Saint Augustine) since they advocated spiritual fecundity in preference to biological fecundity. Finally the book uses a hermeneutic lens derived from Genesis 1, and prioritising the modern problem of biodiversity, to provide ecological interpretations of the Bible's "fruitful" verses. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0048_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740529 06 15 9781783740536 06 15 9781783740543 06 15 9781800644755 06 15 9781783740550 06 15 9781783740567 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0048.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0048 99 04 urn:uuid:a18317ff-cc01-4357-9e46-d3880ef0b64d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a18317ff-cc01-4357-9e46-d3880ef0b64d 15 9781805115991 06 10.11647/OBP.0467 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Publications of the Philological Society 01 01 Grammar of Etulo A Niger-Congo (Idomoid) Language 1 A01 21 0009-0002-2440-6139 Chikelu I.

This description establishes Etulo as a tone language characterised by a predominant SVO word order, non-inflectional morphology, prominent aspectual values, obligatory complement verbs and verb serialization, among other features. This grammar also serves as a foundation for further description of the Etulo grammar and for the development of pedagogical materials needed in Etulo language teaching.Within the Benue-Congo sub group of languages, Etulo is classified as an Idomoid language alongside seven other languages with which it shares striking linguistic similarities. These include Idoma, Igede, Yatye, Alago, Akweya, Akpa, and Eloyi, none of which has yet received a robust linguistic description in the form of a grammar. This work therefore serves as a reference work not only for Etulo, but also for other Idomoid languages yet to be described.This volume will be of interest to researchers of African linguistics in general and Idomoid languages in particular, as well as Africanists, comparative linguists and language typologists more generally. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0467_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Philological Society Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115977 06 15 9781805115984 06 15 9781805115991 06 15 9781805116011 06 15 9781805116004 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0467 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0467.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:660325d3-5730-426e-b900-eee7a7a6fa4c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:660325d3-5730-426e-b900-eee7a7a6fa4c 15 9781800649071 06 10.11647/OBP.0328 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 Greening Europe 2022 European Public Investment Outlook 1 B01 21 0000-0001-9972-716X Floriana Cerniglia 2 B01 21 0000-0003-0121-4329 Francesco Saraceno 01 eng 00 244 03 10 BUS036000 20 European Public Investment Outlook 04 GE190.E85 12 K 10 BUS032000 12 KFFM 20 public investment 12 1QFE 10 BUS051000 20 green ventures 20 international organizations 10 POL044000 12 RND 20 International Monetary Fund 20 European Investment Bank 20 European Commission 20 academic departments 20 policy institutes 20 economy 20 sustainable path 01 06 03 00 The third installment of the ‘European Public Investment Outlook’ series is an important and timely publication that draws together recent analyses to recommend significant increases in public investment in green ventures. Compelling data from key economists affiliated with international organizations like the International Monetary Fund, European Investment Bank and the European Commission, as well as academic departments and policy institutes are a clarion call for green investment to boost the economy and put the planet on a sustainable path.Like its predecessors, the book presents the issues in a lucid and navigable manner. Part I explores the EU’s current levels of green public investment, as well as the challenges ahead in achieving net zero carbon emissions after years of decreasing funding and the obstacles presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The public investment trends of France, Germany, Italy and Spain are systematically evaluated, as well as the REPowerEU policy – accelerated in Spring 2022 – to move away from Russia’s supply of fossil fuels. Part II focuses on the investment needed for green transition; the important economic and fiscal effects and benefits this would bring; and the reality of what is required before 2030 to achieve the EU’s carbon-neutral targets by 2050.Greening Europe is essential reading for economists, environmentalists, and policymakers. It should also be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the cost implications of the ‘carbon-neutral’ policies that governments have promised, and the urgent need to change our approach towards energy usage. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0328_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800649057 06 15 9781800649064 06 15 9781800649071 06 15 9781800649118 06 15 9781800649101 06 15 9781800649088 06 15 9781800649095 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0328.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0328 99 04 urn:uuid:d3cbec05-fe9d-462a-8658-ad68fd17a1f8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d3cbec05-fe9d-462a-8658-ad68fd17a1f8 15 9781805113478 06 10.11647/OBP.0413 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Grotesque and Performance in the Art of Aubrey Beardsley 1 A01 21 0000-0002-5737-7947 Evanghelia Stead 01 eng 00 292 03 93 ABA 10 ART015100 20 Aubrey Beardsley 04 NC242.B3 93 AFH 10 ART015030 20 grotesque 93 AF 10 ART024000 20 media and print culture 93 AFF 10 ART009000 20 media performance 20 fin-de-siècle 20 British and comparative art 01 06 03 00 “If I am not grotesque, I am nothing.”This insightful study illuminates previously unexplored aspects of Aubrey Beardsley’s relationship to the grotesque and his use of media, particularly his manipulation of the periodical press. For the first time and with keen intelligence, Evanghelia Stead fully reveals the aesthetic importance of Beardsley’s Bon-Mots vignettes, as well as the relationship between Darwinism, his innovative foetus motif, and Decadence itself.Beautifully illustrated throughout, the book calls on histories of culture and aesthetics to show how the artist reworked traditional imagery and manipulated it beyond recognition—revealing for instance the influence of cathedral grotesques on Beardsley’s own grotesque performances. Stead also demonstrates his major impact on Italian, French, American and German creative minds through the periodical press.Rich in original thought and detailed, comparative analysis, this book is an invigorating and enlightening read for scholars of Aubrey Beardsley, as well as for anyone interested in nineteenth-century visual culture, art history, art criticism, print culture, illustration, grotesque iconography, and cultural history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0413_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113454 06 15 9781805113461 06 15 9781805113478 06 15 9781805113492 06 15 9781805113485 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0413 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0413.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:ab3a9d7f-c9b9-42bf-9942-45f68b40bcd6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ab3a9d7f-c9b9-42bf-9942-45f68b40bcd6 15 9781783745821 06 10.11647/OBP.0155 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Hanging on to the Edges Essays on Science, Society and the Academic Life 1 A01 Daniel Nettle 01 eng 00 262 03 12 HP 04 Q175.55 20 science 10 SOC026000 12 HPS 10 SCI080000 20 social science 20 interdisciplinary studies 12 PSX 10 SCI008000 20 biology 20 scientific theories 20 academic research 20 human behaviour 20 behavioural studies 01 06 03 00 What does it mean to be a scientist working today; specifically, a scientist whose subject matter is human life? Scientists often overstate their claim to certainty, sorting the world into categorical distinctions that obstruct rather than clarify its complexities. In this book Daniel Nettle urges the reader to unpick such distinctions—biological versus social sciences, mind versus body, and nature versus nurture—and look instead for the for puzzles and anomalies, the points of connection and overlap. These essays, converted from often humorous, sometimes autobiographical blog posts, form an extended meditation on the possibilities and frustrations of the life scientific. Pragmatically arguing from the intersection between social and biological sciences, Nettle reappraises the virtues of policy initiatives such as Universal Basic Income and income redistribution, highlighting the traps researchers and politicians are liable to encounter. This provocative, intelligent and self-critical volume is a testament to the possibilities of interdisciplinary study—whose virtues Nettle stridently defends—drawing from and having implications for a wide cross-section of academic inquiry. This will appeal to anybody curious about the implications of social and biological sciences for increasingly topical political concerns. It comes particularly recommended to Sciences and Social Sciences students and to scholars seeking to extend the scope of their field in collaboration with other disciplines. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0155_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783745807 06 15 9781783745814 06 15 9781783745821 06 15 9781800645738 06 15 9781783746088 06 15 9781783745838 06 15 9781783745845 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0155 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0155.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:0bc390ea-a200-4728-bbec-fc181219416b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0bc390ea-a200-4728-bbec-fc181219416b 15 9781805113331 06 10.11647/OBP.0409 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Harvesting the Sea in Southeastern Arabia Volume 1: Regional Studies 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2922-2964 Janet C.E.

This book is a collection of research on the relationships between people, their environment, their expertise and their languages along the ecologically fragile coasts of the Arabian Peninsula. These studies are the outcome of many years of collaborative fieldwork with local communities in three main regions of southern and eastern Arabia: the Musandam Peninsula, Dhofar and al-Mahrah, and the island of Soqotra. Bringing together oral literature, traditional scientific knowledge, and marine subsistence at the peripheries of the Arabian seaboard, the volume makes a major contribution to the documentation of the indigenous Modern South Arabian languages (MSAL), regional Arabic, and the Kumzari language, as well as to a greater understanding of their speakers’ mastery in harvesting the seas. Diverse contributions by scholars and language community members explore the songs and stories, experiences and viewpoints of indigenous fishers, and shed light on the cultural significance of the maritime species encountered by each community. This book is a testimony to resilient ways of life, many of which have vanished, but which at the same time may offer unique answers for the future of humanity. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0409_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805113317 06 15 9781805113324 06 15 9781805113331 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0409 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0409.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:6cd799a2-9eae-4264-8b89-d5b7adc667eb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6cd799a2-9eae-4264-8b89-d5b7adc667eb 15 9781800649682 06 10.11647/OBP.0338 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Having Too Much Philosophical Essays on Limitarianism 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2893-1814 Ingrid Robeyns 01 eng 00 414 03 04 B105.L44 12 HP 20 limitarianism 10 PHI000000 93 QD 12 HPCF 20 material resources 10 PHI019000 93 QDTS 20 economic limitarianism 12 HPS 93 KCP 10 PHI034000 20 ecological limitarianism 12 KCA 10 POL023000 93 RND 20 future generations 10 POL044000 12 RNA 20 political thought 20 distributive justice 20 intergenerational justice 01 06 03 00 Having Too Much is the first academic volume devoted to limitarianism: the idea that the use of economic or ecosystem resources should not exceed certain limits. This concept has deep roots in economic and political thought. One can find similar statements of such limits in thinkers such as Plato, Aquinas, and Spinoza. But Having Too Much is the first time in contemporary political philosophy that limitarianism is explored at length and in detail. Bringing together in one place the best writing from key theorists of limitarianism, this book is an essential contribution to political philosophy in general, and theories of distributive justice in particular. Including some of the key published articles as well as new chapters, Having Too Much is necessary reading for scholars and students of political theory and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in questions of distributive justice. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0338_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 European Research Council 01 programname European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme 01 projectname ERC Consolidators Grant 01 grantnumber 726153 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649668 06 15 9781800649675 06 15 9781800649682 06 15 9781800649729 06 15 9781800649712 06 15 9781800649699 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0338.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0338 99 04 urn:uuid:192a1dd3-738d-4092-80b8-b8eb367d07bb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:192a1dd3-738d-4092-80b8-b8eb367d07bb 15 9781800649545 06 10.11647/OBP.0335 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Health Care in the Information Society Volume 1 - From Adventure of Ideas to Anarchy of Transition 1 A01 David Ingram 01 eng 00 510 03 20 Information technology 93 PSAX 04 R858 10 SCI102000 12 U 20 Health informatics 12 MBF 10 SCI010000 93 TCB 93 MBN 12 MBNH 10 MED078000 20 UK's National Health Service 93 MBGR 12 MBP 10 MED106000 20 OpenEHR 12 JKS 10 MED058090 20 public domain 20 Standardized care information utility 01 06 03 00 In this fascinating book David Ingram traces the history of information technology and health informatics from its pioneers in the middle of the twentieth century to its latest developments.

But how can we grapple with the environmental, social and geopolitical challenges caused by the extraction and use of these critical resources?Concise, accessible, and engaging, the essays in this timely collection intertwine a broad spectrum of disciplines to help us understand and reimagine our relationship with minerals. Exploring a wide range of themes, from the colonial history of mining and Indigenous resistance, to new frontiers in exploration geology, waste management and recycling, this book draws on experts from fields as diverse as geology, mining engineering, law, economics and public policy. The book also explores mineral resources through an artistic lens, with a collection of stunning images from the Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky, and excerpts of a new musical work, the Heavy Metal Suite. This thought-provoking and ultimately hopeful book guides us towards a more responsible, ethical and sustainable use of metals and minerals. It is essential reading for anyone interested in how we supply the resources needed for a carbon-neutral economic future. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0373_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781783749560 06 15 9781783749584 06 15 9781800649774 06 15 9781805110439 06 15 9781800643901 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0373 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0373.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:9d5ac1c6-a763-49b4-98b2-355d888169be 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9d5ac1c6-a763-49b4-98b2-355d888169be 15 9781906924386 06 10.11647/OBP.0013 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 Henry James's Europe Heritage and Transfer 1 B01 Dennis Tredy 2 B01 Annick Duperray 3 B01 Adrian Harding 01 eng 00 320 03 12 DSB 20 Henry James 10 LIT004020 04 PS2124 12 BGL 20 European reception of Henry James 10 LIT004130 20 authorship 10 BIO007000 20 English literature 20 European Society of Jamesian Studies 20 Americans in Europe 20 American literature 20 The Ambassadors 20 What Maisie Knew 20 The American 20 Portrait of a Lady 20 novel 01 06 03 00 As an American author who chose to live in Europe, Henry James frequently wrote about cultural differences between the Old and New World. The plight of bewildered Americans adrift on a sea of European sophistication became a regular theme in his fiction.This collection of twenty-four papers from some of the world’s leading James scholars offers a comprehensive picture of the author’s cross-cultural aesthetics. It provides detailed analyses of James’s perception of Europe—of its people and places, its history and culture, its artists and thinkers, its aesthetics and its ethics—which ultimately lead to a profound reevaluation of his writing. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0013_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2011 06 15 9781906924362 06 15 9781906924379 06 15 9781906924386 06 15 9781800644403 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0013 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0013.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:8566bac8-86dc-4948-a045-35d1ec76e5f7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8566bac8-86dc-4948-a045-35d1ec76e5f7 15 9781805117346 06 10.11647/OBP.0496 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Heroines of Greek and Roman Myth An Intermediate Latin Reader 1 A01 Maxwell Teitel Paule 01 eng 00 180 03 93 2ADL 10 FOR016000 20 Latin 04 PA2095 20 Ancient Rome 93 DB 10 LAN012000 20 classical myth 10 LAN020000 93 QRS 10 LCO022070 20 women in ancient Rome 20 anthology 10 LCO003000 20 learning guides 01 06 03 00 This volume offers students a fresh approach to reading Latin through the lens of women’s stories in classical myth. Too often, the myths encountered in Latin classrooms center on men, while women are pushed to the margins or depicted primarily as victims of violence. This reader deliberately shifts focus, presenting narratives of nine heroines without requiring students to navigate accounts of sexual assault—an important consideration when the challenge of mastering Latin syntax is already demanding.The stories, carefully adapted from ancient sources, progress in grammatical and stylistic difficulty, beginning with accessible prose and gradually building toward the complexity of authentic classical Latin. Drawing on Dickinson College’s Latin Core Vocabulary, the book ensures that learners are practicing the most useful words, while less common terms are glossed in-line to promote fluid reading rather than constant translation.Designed for students completing an introductory Latin sequence or beginning an intermediate course, the volume reinforces core grammar through repeated exposure while introducing more authentic word order and stylistic patterns in later chapters. Both practical and engaging, this book smooths the transition from textbook Latin to unadapted texts, making the voices of classical heroines central to the learning experience. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0496_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805117322 06 15 9781805117339 06 15 9781805117346 06 15 9781805117360 06 15 9781805117353 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0496 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0496.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:116a814c-5ccb-484f-9a1c-a17f3003c083 03 01 01 urn:uuid:116a814c-5ccb-484f-9a1c-a17f3003c083 15 9781805111290 06 10.11647/OBP.0363 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Higher Education for Good Teaching and Learning Futures 1 B01 21 0000-0002-1239-7493 Laura Czerniewicz 2 B01 21 0000-0001-9266-7598 Catherine Cronin 01 eng 00 658 03 10 EDU034000 20 Higher Education 12 JN 93 JNF 04 LC191.9 10 EDU014000 12 JNF 93 JNFC 20 performance indicators 10 EDU040000 93 JNA 12 JNK 20 resilience tactics 20 Universities 20 HE system 01 06 03 00 After decades of turbulence and acute crises in recent years, how can we build a better future for Higher Education?Thoughtfully edited by Laura Czerniewicz and Catherine Cronin, this rich and diverse collection by academics and professionals from across 17 countries and many disciplines offers a variety of answers to this question. It addresses the need to set new values for universities, trapped today in narratives dominated by financial incentives and performance indicators, and examines those “wicked” problems which need multiple solutions, resolutions, experiments, and imaginaries.This mix of new and well-established voices provides hopeful new ways of thinking about Higher Education across a range of contexts, and how to concretise initiatives to deal with local and global challenges. In an unusual and refreshing way, the contributors provide insights about resilience tactics and collective actions across different levels of higher education using an array of styles and formats including essays, poetry, and speculative fiction. With its interdisciplinary appeal, this book presents itself as a provocative and inspiring resource for universities, students, and scholars. Higher Education for Good courageously offers critique, hope, and purpose for the practice and the trajectory of Higher Education. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0363_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805111276 06 15 9781805111283 06 15 9781805111290 06 15 9781805111337 06 15 9781805111320 06 15 9781805111306 06 15 9781805114710 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0363.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0363 99 04 urn:uuid:a9936786-cf39-4831-89b4-c8b47b1f3926 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a9936786-cf39-4831-89b4-c8b47b1f3926 15 9781805116196 06 10.11647/OBP.0471 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Historicizing IQ Testing Intelligence Assessments and their Role in Norwegian Society from the 1900s to the Present 1 B01 Håkon Aamot Caspersen 2 B01 Jon Røyne Kyllingstad 01 eng 00 496 03 04 BF431.5.N8 20 Intelligence Testing 93 JMA 10 PSY042000 10 HIS054000 20 IQ History 93 JNDH 10 HIS010000 93 MBX 20 Psychological Assessment 10 EDU030000 93 MKM 20 Norwegian Education 20 Forensic Psychiatry 93 PDX 10 PSY015000 93 NHTB 10 SOC026000 20 Transnational Psychology 93 1DNN 10 LAW041000 01 06 03 00 Intelligence testing has shaped modern society in profound ways, influencing education, psychology, law, and governance. This volume offers the first comprehensive study of the history of IQ testing in a Nordic country, shedding new light on its development, adaptation, and societal impact in Norway.By tracing the evolution of intelligence tests—from their role in schools and special education to forensic psychiatry and criminal law—the book uncovers the tensions surrounding their use. Are these tests instruments of empowerment or tools of control? How have they shaped access to education, healthcare, and legal rights?A key focus of this study is the transnational movement of intelligence tests, particularly between Norway, the USA, and other Nordic nations. It explores how tests have been translated, adapted, standardized, and used, raising questions about their claims to measure universal intelligence.This volume challenges assumptions about IQ testing, placing practices of testing and the tests themselves at the center of historical analysis. By examining the Norwegian case, it contributes fresh insights to international scholarship, offering a vital perspective on the global history of intelligence measurement. Essential reading for historians, psychologists, and educators, this book redefines our understanding of intelligence testing in a changing world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0471_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Oslo Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805116172 06 15 9781805116189 06 15 9781805116196 06 15 9781805116219 06 15 9781805116202 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0471 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0471.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b7790cae-1901-446e-b529-b5fe393d8061 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b7790cae-1901-446e-b529-b5fe393d8061 15 9781783740246 06 10.11647/OBP.0074 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 History of International Relations A Non-European Perspective 1 A01 21 0000-0002-8110-6514 Erik Ringmar 01 eng 00 216 03 10 EDU016000 12 H 20 international relations 04 JZ1305 12 HB 10 HIS000000 20 non-European perspective 10 HIS037000 20 International Relations courses 20 East Asia 10 HIS054000 10 HIS039000 20 pre-Columbian Central and South America 20 Africa 20 Polynesia 20 Mongols in Central Asia 20 Arabs in the Mediterranean 20 the Indian Ocean 20 Indic and Sinic societies in South East Asia 20 the Europeans 20 colonial expansion 20 decolonization 20 neo-colonialism 20 globalization 01 06 03 00 Existing textbooks on international relations treat history in a cursory fashion and perpetuate a Euro-centric perspective. This textbook pioneers a new approach by historicizing the material traditionally taught in International Relations courses, and by explicitly focusing on non-European cases, debates and issues.The volume is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the international systems that traditionally existed in Europe, East Asia, pre-Columbian Central and South America, Africa and Polynesia. The second part discusses the ways in which these international systems were brought into contact with each other through the agency of Mongols in Central Asia, Arabs in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, Indic and Sinic societies in South East Asia, and the Europeans through their travels and colonial expansion. The concluding section concerns contemporary issues: the processes of decolonization, neo-colonialism and globalization – and their consequences on contemporary society.History of International Relations provides a unique textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of international relations, and anybody interested in international relations theory, history, and contemporary politics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0074_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783740222 06 15 9781783740239 06 15 9781783740246 06 15 9781800644984 06 15 9781783747788 06 15 9781783740253 06 15 9781783740260 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0074 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0074.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:40602082-0711-4126-8046-4d21df9ca1b3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:40602082-0711-4126-8046-4d21df9ca1b3 15 9781800642683 06 10.11647/OBP.0266 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Horos Ancient Boundaries and the Ecology of Stone 1 A01 Thea Potter 01 eng 00 348 03 04 B188 12 DB 20 horos 10 PHI046000 20 Athenians 12 HPCA 10 PHI000000 20 concept of horos 12 H 10 PHI002000 20 Aristotle 10 EDU040000 12 HP 10 LIT004190 20 Plato 12 YQZ 12 DSBB 20 Homer 20 classical Athenian society 01 06 03 00 In Horos, Thea Potter explores the complex relationship between classical philosophy and the ‘horos’, a stone that Athenians erected to mark the boundaries of their marketplace, their gravestones, their roads and their private property.Potter weaves this history into a meditation on the ancient philosophical concept of horos, the foundational project of determination and definition, arguing that it is central to the development of classical philosophy and the marketplace.Horos challenges many significant interpretations of ancient thought. With nuance and insight, Potter combines the works of Aristotle, Plato, Homer and archaic Greek inscriptions with the twentieth-century continental philosophy of Heidegger, Derrida and Walter Benjamin. The result is a powerful study of the theme of boundaries in classical Athenian society as evidenced by boundary stones, law and exchange, ontology, insurgency and occupation.The innovative book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of ancient Greek social history, philosophy, and literature, as well as to the general reader who is curious to know more about classical life and philosophy. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0266_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800642669 06 15 9781800642676 06 15 9781800642683 06 15 9781800646575 06 15 9781800642713 06 15 9781800642690 06 15 9781800642706 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0266 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0266.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:717ad3ce-9120-4ffd-8aad-15bc55e16e81 03 01 01 urn:uuid:717ad3ce-9120-4ffd-8aad-15bc55e16e81 15 9781805115632 06 10.11647/OBP.0460 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Housing, Heritage and Urbanisation in the Middle East and North Africa 1 B01 21 0000-0002-8778-5132 Lilia Makhloufi 01 eng 00 218 03 10 ARC010000 20 Housing and Heritage 04 NA7418 93 RPC 93 AMVD 10 SOC026030 20 Urban Development 93 JBCC 10 SOC003000 20 Sustainable Cities 20 Architecture and Society 10 POL002000 20 Cultural Identity 10 HIS026000 10 TEC010000 20 Urban Planning 01 06 03 00 This book explores the interconnection between housing, heritage and urbanisation. Bringing together architects, archaeologists, urban sociologists, urban designers, urban planners and landscape architects, this multi-authored and interdisciplinary volume presents diverse case studies from the Middle East and North Africa, shedding light on the past, present and future of residential spaces.With its focus to traditional, modern and contemporary housing in Egypt, Iran, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia, Housing, Heritage and Urbanisation in the Middle East and North Africa explores the correlation between architecture, urban planning and society. The contributors critique the impact of rapid urbanisation and global architectural standardisation, which often goes beyond local identity. Instead, they advocate for a sustainable urban development rooted in community needs and cultural heritage.Ultimately, this volume argues that successful urban planning must balance modernity with tradition, ensuring that housing reflects the lived experiences of its inhabitants. A crucial read for scholars and practitioners, it reaffirms that sustainable cities must be shaped by local needs, not just global trends. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0460_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115618 06 15 9781805115625 06 15 9781805115632 06 15 9781805115656 06 15 9781805115649 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0460.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0460 99 04 urn:uuid:66364150-35ae-4741-848f-45b56752fdd3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:66364150-35ae-4741-848f-45b56752fdd3 15 9781805111603 06 10.11647/OBP.0378 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 How Divine Images Became Art Essays on the Rediscovery, Study and Collecting of Medieval Icons in the Belle Époque 1 A01 Oleg Tarasov 2 Z01 Stella Rock 01 eng 00 228 03 93 AGA 10 ART015070 20 Divine Images 12 HBLC1 04 N7956.A1 93 AB 10 ART035000 20 Art history 12 HBLL 12 HRC 93 QR 10 REL000000 20 Russian medieval art 12 HBTB 10 HIS037010 20 Italian primitives 93 NH 20 Belle Epoque 10 HIS054000 20 Formalist art theory 10 HIS037060 01 06 03 00 How Divine Images Became Art tells the story of the parallel ‘discovery’ of Russian medieval art and of the Italian ‘primitives’ at the beginning of the twentieth century. While these two developments are well-known, they are usually studied in isolation. Tarasov’s study has the great merit of showing the connection between the art world in Russia and the West, and its impact in the cultural history of the continent in the pre-war period. Drawing on a profound familiarity with Russian sources, some of which are little known to Western scholars, and on equally expert knowledge of Western material and scholarship, Oleg Tarasov presents a fresh perspective on early twentieth-century Russian and Western art. The author demonstrates that during the Belle Époque, the interest in medieval Russian icons and Italian ‘primitives’ lead to the recognition of both as distinctive art forms conveying a powerful spiritual message. Formalist art theory and its influence on art collecting played a major role in this recognition of aesthetic and moral value of ‘primitive’ paintings, and was instrumental in reshaping the perception of divine images as artworks.Ultimately, this monograph represents a significant contribution to our understanding of early twentieth-century art; it will be of interest to art scholars, students and anyone interested in the spiritual and aesthetic revival of religious paintings in the Belle Époque. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0378_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111580 06 15 9781805111597 06 15 9781805111603 06 15 9781805111634 06 15 9781805111610 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0378 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0378.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:7b9b68c6-8bb6-42c5-8b19-bf5e56b7293e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7b9b68c6-8bb6-42c5-8b19-bf5e56b7293e 15 9781909254077 06 10.11647/OBP.0034 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 How to Read a Folktale The 'Ibonia' Epic from Madagascar 1 A01 Lee Haring 2 Z01 21 0000-0002-2262-0986 Mark Turin 01 eng 00 163 03 04 GR357 20 Ibonia 12 JFHF 10 SOC002010 12 JHMC 20 Madagascar 10 SOC011000 12 DC 20 folktale 20 Malagasy people 20 anthropology 20 folklore 20 literary criticism 20 World Oral Literature Projec 01 06 03 00 How to Read a Folktale offers the first English translation of Ibonia, a spellbinding tale of old Madagascar. Ibonia is a folktale on epic scale. Much of its plot sounds familiar: a powerful royal hero attempts to rescue his betrothed from an evil adversary and, after a series of tests and duels, he and his lover are joyfully united with a marriage that affirms the royal lineage. These fairytale elements link Ibonia with European folktales, but the tale is still very much a product of Madagascar. It contains African-style praise poetry for the hero; it presents Indonesian-style riddles and poems; and it inflates the form of folktale into epic proportions. Recorded when the Malagasy people were experiencing European contact for the first time, Ibonia proclaims the power of the ancestors against the foreigner. Through Ibonia, Lee Haring expertly helps readers to understand the very nature of folktales. His definitive translation, originally published in 1994, has now been fully revised to emphasize its poetic qualities, while his new introduction and detailed notes give insight into the fascinating imagination and symbols of the Malagasy. Haring’s research connects this exotic narrative with fundamental questions not only of anthropology but also of literary criticism. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0034_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2013 06 15 9781909254053 06 15 9781909254060 06 15 9781909254077 06 15 9781800644618 06 15 9781909254084 06 15 9781909254091 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0034.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0034 99 04 urn:uuid:23651a20-a26e-4253-b0a9-c8b5bf1409c7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:23651a20-a26e-4253-b0a9-c8b5bf1409c7 15 9781783743001 06 10.11647/OBP.0107 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Human and Machine Consciousness 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3075-655X David Gamez 01 eng 00 234 03 04 B105.C477 12 HPM 10 PHI015000 20 scientific study of consciousness 20 brain 12 PDA 10 SCI089000 20 artificial intelligence 12 PSAN 10 SCI075000 10 COM004000 20 experience 12 UYQ 12 JMT 10 OCC000000 20 states of consciousness 01 06 03 00 Consciousness is widely perceived as one of the most fundamental, interesting and difficult problems of our time. However, we still know next to nothing about the relationship between consciousness and the brain and we can only speculate about the consciousness of animals and machines. Human and Machine Consciousness presents a new foundation for the scientific study of consciousness. It sets out a bold interpretation of consciousness that neutralizes the philosophical problems and explains how we can make scientific predictions about the consciousness of animals, brain-damaged patients and machines. Gamez interprets the scientific study of consciousness as a search for mathematical theories that map between measurements of consciousness and measurements of the physical world. We can use artificial intelligence to discover these theories and they could make accurate predictions about the consciousness of humans, animals and artificial systems. Human and Machine Consciousness also provides original insights into unusual conscious experiences, such as hallucinations, religious experiences and out-of-body states, and demonstrates how ‘designer’ states of consciousness could be created in the future.Gamez explains difficult concepts in a clear way that closely engages with scientific research. His punchy, concise prose is packed with vivid examples, making it suitable for the educated general reader as well as philosophers and scientists. Problems are brought to life in colourful illustrations and a helpful summary is given at the end of each chapter. The endnotes provide detailed discussions of individual points and full references to the scientific and philosophical literature. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0107_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783742981 06 15 9781783742998 06 15 9781783743001 06 15 9781800645264 06 15 9781783744886 06 15 9781783743018 06 15 9781783743025 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0107 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0107.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:27def25d-48ad-470d-9fbe-1ddc8376e1cb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:27def25d-48ad-470d-9fbe-1ddc8376e1cb 15 9781800642089 06 10.11647/OBP.0257 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Human Cultures through the Scientific Lens Essays in Evolutionary Cognitive Anthropology 1 A01 21 0000-0002-0911-1212 Pascal Boyer 01 eng 00 290 03 20 anthropology 04 GN502 12 JH 10 SOC002000 12 JHM 20 psychology 10 SOC002010 20 human evolution 12 JHMC 10 SOC002020 12 PSA 10 SCI080000 20 social science 20 evolutionary biology 10 SCI086000 20 experimental psychology 20 economics 20 history 20 ritual 20 neuroscience 20 ethology 20 political science 01 06 03 00 This volume brings together a collection of seven articles previously published by the author, with a new introduction reframing the articles in the context of past and present questions in anthropology, psychology and human evolution. It promotes the perspective of ‘integrated’ social science, in which social science questions are addressed in a deliberately eclectic manner, combining results and models from evolutionary biology, experimental psychology, economics, anthropology and history. It thus constitutes a welcome contribution to a gradually emerging approach to social science based on E. O. Wilson’s concept of ‘consilience’.Human Cultures through the Scientific Lens spans a wide range of topics, from an examination of ritual behaviour, integrating neuro-science, ethology and anthropology to explain why humans engage in ritual actions (both cultural and individual), to the motivation of conflicts between groups. As such, the collection gives readers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the applications of an evolutionary paradigm in the social sciences.This volume will be a useful resource for scholars and students in the social sciences (particularly psychology, anthropology, evolutionary biology and the political sciences), as well as a general readership interested in the social sciences. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0257_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800642065 06 15 9781800642072 06 15 9781800642089 06 15 9781800642119 06 15 9781800642096 06 15 9781800642102 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0257 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0257.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:15df404f-ab6a-491a-8fb0-1293fe105097 03 01 01 urn:uuid:15df404f-ab6a-491a-8fb0-1293fe105097 15 9781800641723 06 10.11647/OBP.0251 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Human Evolutionary Demography 1 B01 21 0000-0002-7552-5851 Oskar Burger 2 B01 21 0000-0001-9755-0436 Ronald Lee 3 B01 21 0000-0002-4315-0223 Rebecca Sear 01 eng 00 780 03 20 Human evolutionary demography 12 J 93 JB 04 QH355 10 SOC000000 20 Interdisciplinary 12 JH 93 JHM 10 SOC002000 20 Demographic patterns 93 JHMC 12 JHMC 10 SOC002010 20 Evolutionary processes 12 JHBD 93 JHBD 10 SOC006000 20 Social science 20 Evolutionary theory 01 06 03 00 Human evolutionary demography is an emerging field blending natural science with social science. This edited volume provides a much-needed, interdisciplinary introduction to the field and highlights cutting-edge research for interested readers and researchers in demography, the evolutionary behavioural sciences, biology, and related disciplines. By bridging the boundaries between social and biological sciences, the volume stresses the importance of a unified understanding of both in order to grasp past and current demographic patterns. Demographic traits, and traits related to demographic outcomes, including fertility and mortality rates, marriage, parental care, menopause, and cooperative behavior are subject to evolutionary processes. Bringing an understanding of evolution into demography therefore incorporates valuable insights into this field; just as knowledge of demography is key to understanding evolutionary processes. By asking questions about old patterns from a new perspective, the volume—composed of contributions from established and early-career academics—demonstrates that a combination of social science research and evolutionary theory offers holistic understandings and approaches that benefit both fields. Human Evolutionary Demography introduces an emerging field in an accessible style. It is suitable for graduate courses in demography, as well as upper-level undergraduates. Its range of research is sure to be of interest to academics working on demographic topics (anthropologists, sociologists, demographers), natural scientists working on evolutionary processes, and disciplines which cross-cut natural and social science, such as evolutionary psychology, human behavioral ecology, cultural evolution, and evolutionary medicine. As an accessible introduction, it should interest readers whether or not they are currently familiar with human evolutionary demography. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0251_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800641709 06 15 9781800641716 06 15 9781800641723 06 15 9781800646827 06 15 9781800641730 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0251 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0251.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:e598f578-acf0-45f4-8f36-fbd456fbb4f9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e598f578-acf0-45f4-8f36-fbd456fbb4f9 15 9781805115175 06 10.11647/OBP.0450 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Humans, Dogs and Other Beings Myths, Stories, and History in the Land of Genghis Khan 1 A01 21 0000-0002-7748-7449 Baasanjav Terbish 01 eng 00 292 03 93 2FV 20 Mongolian nomadic traditions 10 SOC002010 20 Human-animal coexistence 93 JBSL 10 SOC011000 20 Ethnography of Mongolia 10 HIS050000 93 JHMC 20 Cultural anthropology 10 NAT001000 93 PGK 20 Mongol cosmology and animals 93 RNCB 10 SCI070060 10 HIS028000 20 Nomadic life and biodiversity 01 06 03 00 Step into the windswept steppes of Mongolia and explore a world where humans and animals have coexisted for centuries in a delicate, profound dance. This groundbreaking book examines the complex relationships between the Mongols and four animals—dogs, marmots, cats, and camels—shedding light on a nomadic culture that is deeply intertwined with its natural environment. Drawing from rich ethnographic accounts, historical records, and personal memoir, the author, of Mongol origin, offers a vivid narrative that intertwines cultural insights with intimate reflections.Each chapter delves into the dual nature of these animals: as both beings of Mongol cosmology and as tangible, living creatures that shape and are shaped by human lives. From the fierce loyalty and sharp temper of dogs to the culinary and medicinal significance of marmots, the mortal symbolism of cats, and the nurturing bond embodied by camels, these animals reveal unique facets of Mongol life and values.Through these stories, the book invites readers to consider universal questions about humanity’s relationship with animals, our evolving cultures, and the shared fears, loves, and beliefs that define us. Insightful and evocative, this work is a must-read for anyone intrigued by human-animal connections, nomadic traditions, and the anthropology of coexistence. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0450_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115151 06 15 9781805115168 06 15 9781805115175 06 15 9781805115199 06 15 9781805115182 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0450.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0450 99 04 urn:uuid:6dd2c092-828a-47d8-b2d0-a4a68519acc8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6dd2c092-828a-47d8-b2d0-a4a68519acc8 15 9781805116455 06 10.11647/OBP.0476 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Hylo Narrans Echoes of Material Marronage 1 A01 21 0000-0002-4447-1192 Kevin Toksöz Fairbairn 01 eng 00 272 03 93 ABA 20 Acoustic Agency 10 ART060000 04 TS565 20 Experimental Instrumentation 10 PHI018000 93 TTA 93 JBCC 20 Material Sonicity 10 SOC026030 20 Hylo Narrans 93 QDHR5 10 TEC001000 20 Sonic Marronage 20 Intermaterial Listening 01 06 03 00 This book explores the acoustic agency of brass as a vital medium through which histories of extraction, resistance, and collective creativity resonate. Blending metalwork, experimental instrument-building, and philosophical inquiry, the book listens closely to brass not just as material, but as storyteller—what the author calls hylo narrans, echoing Sylvia Wynter’s invocation of homo narrans. Grounded in their practice spanning artisanal craftsmanship and industrial labor, the author examines how materials respond, resist, and reshape meaning within the workshop, the concert hall, and the broader social fabric. By introducing chimeracords—hybrid sound objects forged from factory detritus—and their affordance for sonic experimentation, 'Hylo Narrans' challenges Western narratives of purity, utility, and control, inviting readers to consider alternative storylines posed by materials-in-flight. Weaving theories of marronage through situated acoustic knowledge, this book is essential reading for those working at the intersection of sound, matter, and community. It speaks to experimental musicians, sound artists, artistic researchers, and theorists interested in how sonic materiality relates to social space, cultural memory, and communal wellbeing. With a deep commitment to sonic collectivity and intermaterial dialogue, this volume reimagines the workshop as a site of resistance, resonance, and relational creativity. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0476_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116431 06 15 9781805116448 06 15 9781805116455 06 15 9781805116479 06 15 9781805116462 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0476 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0476.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:859a1313-7b02-4c66-8010-dbe533c4412a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:859a1313-7b02-4c66-8010-dbe533c4412a 15 9781783746576 06 10.11647/OBP.0160 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Hyperion, or the Hermit in Greece 1 Z01 21 0000-0001-5136-9607 Howard Gaskill 01 eng 01 ger 00 234 03 12 D 20 Friedrich Hölderlin 10 LIT004170 04 PT2359.H2 12 FC 10 FOR009000 20 novel 10 FIC032000 12 FQ 20 Hyperion 20 fictional epistolary autobiography 20 European Romanticism 01 06 03 00 Friedrich Hölderlin’s only novel, Hyperion (1797–99), is a fictional epistolary autobiography that juxtaposes narration with critical reflection. Returning to Greece after German exile, following his part in the abortive uprising against the occupying Turks (1770), and his failure as both a lover and a revolutionary, Hyperion assumes a hermitic existence, during which he writes his letters. Confronting and commenting on his own past, with all its joy and grief, the narrator undergoes a transformation that culminates in the realisation of his true vocation.Though Hölderlin is now established as a great lyric poet, recognition of his novel as a supreme achievement of European Romanticism has been belated in the Anglophone world. Incorporating the aesthetic evangelism that is a characteristic feature of the age, Hyperion preaches a message of redemption through beauty. The resolution of the contradictions and antinomies raised in the novel is found in the act of articulation itself. To a degree remarkable in a prose work of any length, what it means is inseparable from how it means. In this skilful translation, Gaskill conveys the beautiful music and rhythms of Hölderlin’s language to an English-speaking reader. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0160_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783746552 06 15 9781783746569 06 15 9781783746576 06 15 9781800645783 06 15 9781783746675 06 15 9781783746583 06 15 9781783746590 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0160 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0160.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:1f591391-7497-4447-8c06-d25006a1b922 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1f591391-7497-4447-8c06-d25006a1b922 15 9781783745180 06 10.11647/OBP.0145 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Image, Knife, and Gluepot Early Assemblage in Manuscript and Print 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1633-7607 Kathryn M.

Image, Knife, and Gluepot painstakingly reconstructs the process by which this manuscript was created and discusses its significance as a text at the forefront of fifteenth-century book production, when the invention of mechanically-produced images led to the creation of new multimedia objects. Rudy then travels to the nineteenth century to examine the phenomenon of manuscript books being pillaged for their prints and drawings: she has diligently tracked down the dismembered parts of this book of hours for the first time. Image, Knife, and Gluepot also documents Rudy’s twenty-first-century research process, as she hunts through archives while grappling with the logistics and occasionally the limits of academic research.This is a timely volume, focusing on questions of materiality at the forefront of medieval and literary studies. Beautifully illustrated throughout, its use of original material and its striking interdisciplinary approach, combining book and art history, make it a significant academic achievement.Image, Knife, and Gluepot is a valuable text for any scholar in the fields of medieval studies, the history of early books and publishing, cultural history or material culture. Written in Rudy’s inimitable style, it will also be rewarding for any student enrolled in a course on manuscript production, as well as non-specialists interested in the afterlives of manuscripts and prints. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0145_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Royal Society of Edinburgh Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783745166 06 15 9781783745173 06 15 9781783745180 06 15 9781800645646 06 15 9781783747252 06 15 9781783745197 06 15 9781783745203 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0145 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0145.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:0fa566ac-0af2-41c3-a425-83c5ea2c5225 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0fa566ac-0af2-41c3-a425-83c5ea2c5225 15 9781805115021 06 10.11647/OBP.0447 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Imagery of Hate Online 1 B01 21 0000-0003-2847-4542 Matthias J.

In digital spaces, hate speech is increasingly conveyed through memes, images, and videos, blending textual and pictorial elements to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and other exclusionary narratives. While historical perspectives on hate imagery are well-documented, this collection emphasises the pressing need for contemporary analysis of visual and multimodal communication in digital environments.Featuring contributions from interdisciplinary experts, this volume investigates the content, structure, and dynamics of normalisation of visual hate speech. By examining memes, manipulated images, and other visual artifacts, it reveals how hateful content gains traction in digital public spheres, often blurring traditional boundaries of acceptability. Through rigorous case studies and theoretical insights, the anthology provides a comprehensive understanding of how multimodality shapes hate discourse and its societal impact.Grounded in empirical research, this collection also addresses the challenges of defining and analysing hate ideologies, offering nuanced frameworks for distinguishing legitimate critique from hate-based narratives. Decoding Visual Hate is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, teachers, and digital communicators seeking to combat the proliferation of visual hate and foster more inclusive online spaces. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0447_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Technische Universität Berlin Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115007 06 15 9781805115014 06 15 9781805115021 06 15 9781805115045 06 15 9781805115038 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0447 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0447.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:ead69e08-8bbd-4f87-a5bf-7d5f3b714899 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ead69e08-8bbd-4f87-a5bf-7d5f3b714899 15 9781805115229 06 10.11647/OBP.0451 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Improvising Otherwise A Decolonial Feminist Approach to Improvisation in Early Modern English Culture 1 A01 Fatima Lahham 01 eng 00 196 03 93 AVA 20 Early Music 10 MUS020000 20 Feminist Ear 93 JBSF11 10 SOC028000 20 Decolonial Methodologies 93 GTS 10 PER011020 20 Improvisation Studies 10 SOC008000 10 ART009000 20 Ottoman-English Relations 20 Historical Performance Practices 01 06 03 00 This volume redefines how we approach early music and cultural histories, intertwining feminist, decolonial, and creative perspectives. Fatima Lahham delves into the improvisational practices of early modern England, situating them within a rich tapestry of musical sources, theological texts, travel narratives, and natural histories. Inspired by Sara Ahmed’s notion of the “feminist ear,” the book amplifies voices and histories often unheard, re-examining the cultural interplay between England and the Ottoman Empire in the seventeenth century.This groundbreaking study bridges disciplines and engages with critical race studies to explore decolonial methodologies. Lahham challenges traditional historiographies, integrating improvisation studies and early modern creativity to transform our understanding of historical performance and inspire new practices today. Tracks from her album punctuate the text, fostering an innovative, multi-modal reading experience, while creative prompts invite readers to craft their own improvisations.At once scholarly and imaginative, this book expands the boundaries of historically informed performance and cultural studies. By mobilizing improvisation as a tool for understanding and re-imagining history, Imagining Otherwise offers a vital contribution to early music, feminist theory, and the study of England’s global engagements. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0451_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115205 06 15 9781805115212 06 15 9781805115229 06 15 9781805115243 06 15 9781805115236 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0451.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0451 99 04 urn:uuid:50516c2a-154e-4758-9b94-586987af2b7f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:50516c2a-154e-4758-9b94-586987af2b7f 15 9781783743759 06 10.11647/OBP.0122 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Information and Empire Mechanisms of Communication in Russia, 1600-1854 1 B01 21 0000-0002-0514-7314 Simon Franklin 2 B01 21 0000-0002-3747-5160 Katherine Bowers 01 eng 00 440 03 12 HBTB 10 HIS032000 04 P92.R8 20 Russian Empire 20 communication 04 I54 12 JFC 20 information 20 postal service 20 news circulation 20 maps and atlases 20 signs and monuments 20 history of communication 01 06 03 00 From the mid-sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century Russia was transformed from a moderate-sized, land-locked principality into the largest empire on earth. How did systems of information and communication shape and reflect this extraordinary change?Information and Mechanisms of Communication in Russia, 1600-1850 brings together a range of contributions to shed some light on this complex question. Communication networks such as the postal service and the gathering and circulation of news are examined alongside the growth of a bureaucratic apparatus that informed the government about its country and its people. The inscription of space is considered from the point of view of mapping and the changing public ‘graphosphere’ of signs and monuments. More than a series of institutional histories, this book is concerned with the way Russia discovered itself, envisioned itself and represented itself to its people.Innovative and scholarly, this collection breaks new ground in its approach to communication and information as a field of study in Russia. More broadly, it is an accessible contribution to pre-modern information studies, taking as its basis a country whose history often serves to challenge habitual Western models of development. It is important reading not only for specialists in Russian Studies, but also for students and non-Russianists who are interested in the history of information and communications. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0122_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743735 06 15 9781783743742 06 15 9781783743759 06 15 9781800645417 06 15 9781783744527 06 15 9781783743766 06 15 9781783743773 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0122 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0122.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:1549f31d-4783-4a63-a050-90ffafd77328 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1549f31d-4783-4a63-a050-90ffafd77328 15 9781783748235 06 10.11647/OBP.0189 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Infrastructure Investment in Indonesia A Focus on Ports 1 B01 21 0000-0001-6497-7759 Colin Duffield 2 B01 21 0000-0002-4800-9130 Felix Kin Peng Hui 3 B01 Sally Wilson 01 eng 00 394 03 10 BUS036000 04 HE560.I5 20 Infrastructure 12 KFFM 10 BUS032000 20 Indonesia 12 TNFH 12 1FMN 10 BUS013000 20 Ports 12 K 20 major infrastructure projects 20 Australia 12 RPT 20 infrastructure investment 20 port planning and development 20 engineering 20 law 20 planning 01 06 03 00 Infrastructure Investment in Indonesia: A Focus on Ports presents an important and original collation of current material investigating the efficient facilitation of major infrastructure projects in Indonesia and Australia, with an emphasis on infrastructure investment and a focus on port planning and development.This interdisciplinary collection—spanning the disciplines of engineering, law and planning—draws helpfully on a range of practical and theoretical perspectives. It is the collaborative effort of leading experts in the fields of infrastructure project initiation and financing, and is based on international research conducted by the University of Melbourne, Universitas Indonesia and Universitas Gadjah Mada.The volume opens with a macroscopic perspective, outlining the broader economic situations confronting Indonesia and Australia, before adopting a more microscopic perspective to closely examine the issues surrounding major infrastructure investment in both countries. Detailed case studies are provided, key challenges are identified, and evidence-based solutions are offered. These solutions respond to such topical issues as how to overcome delays in infrastructure project initiation; how to enhance project decision-making for the selection and evaluation of projects; how to improve overall efficiency in the arrangement of project finance and governance; and how to increase the return provided by investment in infrastructure. Special focus is given to proposed improvements to the portal cities of Indonesia in the areas of major infrastructure project governance, policies, engagement, operation and processes.By rigorously investigating the economic, transport, finance and policy aspects of infrastructure investment, this book will be a valuable resource for policy makers and government officials in Indonesia and Australia, infrastructure investment organisations, and companies involved in exporting services between Indonesia and Australia. This book will also be of interest to researchers and students of infrastructure planning and financing, setting a solid foundation for subsequent investigations of financing options for large-scale infrastructure developments. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0189_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783748211 06 15 9781783748228 06 15 9781783748235 06 15 9781800646018 06 15 9781783748266 06 15 9781783748242 06 15 9781783748259 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0189 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0189.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:057a6d56-a7ef-4d6f-9c19-fe8a4930629c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:057a6d56-a7ef-4d6f-9c19-fe8a4930629c 15 9781805110927 06 10.11647/OBP.0359 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 The Medieval Text Consortium Series 01 01 Insolubles Critical Edition with English Translation 1 A01 Walter Segrave 2 B01 Barbara Bartocci 3 B01 Stephen Read 01 eng 00 158 03 04 BC21.I64 12 HBLC1 10 HIS010000 20 Medieval Paradoxes 93 NHD 10 HIS037010 12 HPC 20 Liar Paradox 93 NHDJ 12 HPCB 10 PHI012000 93 QDHF 20 Restrictivism 20 Supposition Theory 20 Thomas Bradwardine 20 Fallacy of Accident 01 06 03 00 Paradoxes, such as the Liar (‘What I am saying is false’), fascinated medieval thinkers. What I said can’t be true, for if it were, it would be false. So it must be false—but then it would be true after all. Attempts at a solution to this contradiction led such thinkers to develop their theories of meaning, reference and truth. A popular response, until it was attacked at length by Thomas Bradwardine in the early 1320s, was to dismiss such self-reference as impossible: no term (here, ‘false’) could refer to (or in medieval terms, “supposit for”) a whole, e.g., a proposition, of which it is part. In light of Bradwardine’s criticisms, Walter Segrave, writing around 1330, defended so-called restrictivism (restrictio) by claiming that such paradoxes exhibited a fallacy of accident. The classic example of this fallacy, the first of Aristotle’s fallacies independent of language, is the Hidden Man puzzle: you know Coriscus, Coriscus is the one approaching, but you don’t know the one approaching since, e.g., he is wearing a mask. But Aristotle’s account is unclear and Segrave, building on ideas of Giles of Rome and Walter Burley, shows how the fallacy turns on an equivocation over the supposition of the middle term or one of the extremes in a syllogism. Thereby, Segrave is able to counter Bradwardine’s arguments one by one and defend the restrictivist solution. In this volume, Segrave’s text is edited from the three extant manuscripts, is translated into English, and is preceded by a substantial Introduction. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0359_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805110903 06 15 9781805110910 06 15 9781805110927 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0359 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0359.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:1692a92d-f86a-4155-9e6c-16f38586b7fc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1692a92d-f86a-4155-9e6c-16f38586b7fc 15 9781783742301 06 10.11647/OBP.0093 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Intellectual Property and Public Health in the Developing World 1 A01 Monirul Azam 01 eng 00 348 03 20 Intellectual property 10 LAW050020 12 LNR 04 RM671.5.D44 10 LAW093000 12 LNRD 20 pharmaceutical patents 12 LNTM2 10 MED078000 20 patent protection 20 developing World 12 MBGR 20 Bangladesh 20 publich health 20 TRIPS 01 06 03 00 Across the world, developing countries are attempting to balance the international standards of intellectual property concerning pharmaceutical patents against the urgent need for accessible and affordable medicines. In this timely and necessary book, Monirul Azam examines the attempts of several developing countries to walk this fine line. He evaluates the experiences of Brazil, China, India, and South Africa for lessons to guide Bangladesh and developing nations everywhere. Azam's legal expertise, concern for public welfare, and compelling grasp of principal case studies make Intellectual Property and Public Health in the Developing World a definitive work.The developing world is striving to meet the requirements of the World Trade Organization's TRIPS Agreement on intellectual property. This book sets out with lucidity and insight the background of the TRIPS Agreement and its implications for pharmaceutical patents, the consequences for developing countries, and the efforts of certain representative nations to comply with international stipulations while still maintaining local industry and public health.

This timely and practical book provides essential guidance for professionals—particularly those new to working in this context—on how to deliver compassionate, culturally responsive, and effective care to forcibly displaced individuals and communities.Drawing on personal narratives of displacement, international research, global best practices, and firsthand professional experience, this volume addresses the many challenges refugees face in accessing appropriate health and social care, including trauma, chronic illness, mental health conditions, housing insecurity, and language barriers. Contributions from a diverse range of professionals—across nursing, occupational therapy, psychology, psychotherapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, and more—highlight the interprofessional collaboration necessary to meet these multifaceted needs.Through real-life case studies, reflective prompts, and a strong focus on person-centred, equitable care, this book centres the lived experiences of refugees and emphasizes the importance of listening, learning, and adapting care to each individual’s story. A vital resource for practitioners, students, policymakers, and educators, this book bridges the gap between evidence and practice and empowers professionals to build inclusive and responsive systems of care for those affected by forced migration. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0479_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Western Norway University of Applied Sciences Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116585 06 15 9781805116592 06 15 9781805116608 06 15 9781805116622 06 15 9781805116615 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0479.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0479 99 04 urn:uuid:d6850e99-33ce-4cae-ac7c-bd82cf23432b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d6850e99-33ce-4cae-ac7c-bd82cf23432b 15 9781783740598 06 10.11647/OBP.0042 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 In the Lands of the Romanovs An Annotated Bibliography of First-hand English-language Accounts of the Russian Empire (1613-1917) 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2611-6090 Anthony Cross 01 eng 00 438 03 20 Bibliography 12 GBCR 10 REF004000 04 Z2508 20 Romanovs 10 TRV023000 12 WTL 12 1DVUA 20 Russia 20 Russian Tsars 20 Travel Accounts 01 06 03 00 Over the course of more than three centuries of Romanov rule in Russia, foreign visitors and residents produced a vast corpus of literature conveying their experiences and impressions of the country. The product of years of painstaking research by one of the world’s foremost authorities on Anglo-Russian relations, In the Lands of the Romanovs is the realization of a major bibliographical project that records the details of over 1200 English-language accounts of the Russian Empire. Ranging chronologically from the accession of Mikhail Fedorovich in 1613 to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, this is the most comprehensive bibliography of first-hand accounts of Russia ever to be published. Far more than an inventory of accounts by travellers and tourists, Anthony Cross’s ambitious and wide-ranging work includes personal records of residence in or visits to Russia by writers ranging from diplomats to merchants, physicians to clergymen, gardeners to governesses, as well as by participants in the French invasion of 1812 and in the Crimean War of 1854-56.<break/>Providing full bibliographical details and concise but informative annotation for each entry, this substantial bibliography will be an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in contacts between Russia and the West during the centuries of Romanov rule. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0042_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Cambridge University Library Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740574 06 15 9781783740581 06 15 9781783740598 06 15 9781800644694 06 15 9781783740604 06 15 9781783740611 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0042.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0042 99 04 urn:uuid:4455a769-d374-4eed-8e6a-84c220757c0d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4455a769-d374-4eed-8e6a-84c220757c0d 15 9781783749041 06 10.11647/OBP.0200 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Introducing Vigilant Audiences 1 B01 21 0000-0001-8476-673X Daniel Trottier 2 B01 Rashid Gabdulhakov 3 B01 Qian Huang 01 eng 00 360 03 20 digital vigilantism 12 HPS 04 P96.A83 10 SOC052000 10 COM060140 20 digital audience 12 JFD 10 POL010000 20 social platform 12 UD 10 SOC026040 20 social life 20 political life 20 contemporary media landscape 20 digital media 01 06 03 00 This ground-breaking collection of essays examines the scope and consequences of digital vigilantism – a phenomenon emerging on a global scale, which sees digital audiences using social platforms to shape social and political life. Longstanding forms of moral scrutiny and justice seeking are disseminated through our contemporary media landscape, and researchers are increasingly recognising the significance of societal impacts effected by digital media.The authors engage with a range of cross-disciplinary perspectives in order to explore the actions of a vigilant digital audience – denunciation, shaming, doxing – and to consider the role of the press and other public figures in supporting or contesting these activities. In turn, the volume illuminates several tensions underlying these justice seeking activities – from their capacity to reproduce categorical forms of discrimination, to the diverse motivations of the wider audiences who participate in vigilant denunciations.This timely volume presents thoughtful case studies drawn both from high-profile Anglo-American contexts, and from developments in regions that have received less coverage in English-language scholarship. It is distinctive in its focus on the contested boundary between policing and entertainment, and on the various contexts in which the desire to seek retribution converges with the desire to consume entertainment.Introducing Vigilant Audiences will be of great value to researchers and students of sociology, politics, criminology, critical security studies, and media and communication. It will be of further interest to those who wish to understand recent cases of citizen-led justice seeking in their global context. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0200_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783749027 06 15 9781783749034 06 15 9781783749041 06 15 9781800646117 06 15 9781783749072 06 15 9781783749058 06 15 9781783749065 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0200.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0200 99 04 urn:uuid:8a6a8237-95c7-4e99-a2f2-d5941b57b9ae 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8a6a8237-95c7-4e99-a2f2-d5941b57b9ae 15 9781800644120 06 10.11647/OBP.0291 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Introduction to Systems Biology Workbook for Flipped-classroom Teaching 1 A01 21 0000-0001-8225-2954 Thomas Sauter 2 A01 21 0000-0002-1156-0623 Marco Albrecht 01 eng 00 170 03 10 COM021030 12 GPS 04 QH324.2 20 systems biology 12 GP 20 introduction 10 SCI043000 20 interdisciplinary framework 12 KJMV6 10 REF020000 20 mathematical concepts 10 SOC024000 12 UNC 20 biological entities 10 SCI102000 12 UNF 20 physics concepts 12 PS 12 MBF 01 06 03 00 This book is an introduction to the language of systems biology, which is spoken among many disciplines, from biology to engineering. Authors Thomas Sauter and Marco Albrecht draw on a multidisciplinary background and evidence-based learning to facilitate the understanding of biochemical networks, metabolic modeling and system dynamics.Their pedagogic approach briefly highlights core ideas of concepts in a broader interdisciplinary framework to guide a more effective deep dive thereafter. The learning journey starts with the purity of mathematical concepts, reveals its power to connect biological entities in structure and time, and finally introduces physics concepts to tightly align abstraction with reality.This workbook is all about self-paced learning, supports the flipped-classroom concept, and kick-starts with scientific evidence on studying. Each chapter comes with links to external YouTube videos, learning checklists, and Integrated real-world examples to gain confidence in thinking across scientific perspectives. The result is an integrated approach that opens a line of communication between theory and application, enabling readers to actively learn as they read.This overview of capturing and analyzing the behavior of biological systems will interest adherers of systems biology and network analysis, as well as related fields such as bioinformatics, biology, cybernetics, and data science. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0291_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800644106 06 15 9781800644113 06 15 9781800644120 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0291.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0291 99 04 urn:uuid:e414ca1b-a7f2-48c7-9adb-549a04711241 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e414ca1b-a7f2-48c7-9adb-549a04711241 15 9781800641778 06 10.11647/OBP.0252 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 01 01 Inventory Analytics 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7247-1010 Roberto Rossi 01 eng 00 184 03 10 BUS044000 20 inventory control 12 KCA 04 TS160 12 BUS 10 BUS069030 20 supply chain planning 20 inventory systems 12 JHBC 10 MAT029000 10 BUS001010 20 deterministic inventory control 12 K 20 demand forecasting 12 PBWL 12 KJ 20 stochastic inventory control 12 KJMV 20 Python 12 PBT 01 06 03 00 Inventory Analytics provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the theory and practice of inventory control – a significant research area central to supply chain planning.

All of us facing the global economic crisis wonder just how rational economic men and women can be. Behavioral economics—an effort to incorporate psychological ideas into economics—has become all the rage. This book by well-known economist David K. Levine questions the idea that behavioral economics is the answer to economic problems. It explores the successes and failures of contemporary economics both inside and outside the laboratory. It then asks whether popular behavioral theories of psychological biases are solutions to the failures. It not only provides an overview of popular behavioral theories and their history, but also gives the reader the tools for scrutinizing them. Levine’s book is essential reading for students and teachers of economic theory and anyone interested in the psychology of economics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0021_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2012 06 15 9781906924928 06 15 9781906924935 06 15 9781906924942 06 15 9781800644489 06 15 9781906924959 06 15 9781906924966 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0021 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0021.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:2ceb72f2-ddde-45a7-84a9-27523849f8f5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2ceb72f2-ddde-45a7-84a9-27523849f8f5 15 9781783749775 06 10.11647/OBP.0216 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Jane Austen Reflections of a Reader 1 A01 Nora Bartlett 2 B01 Jane Stabler 01 eng 00 252 03 12 D 10 FIC027070 20 Jane Austen 04 PR4037 04 B37 12 DSBF 20 fiction 10 LIT024040 20 human behaviour 10 LIT004120 20 family relationships 10 LIT000000 20 sickness 20 hypochondria 20 love 20 romance 20 literary criticism 20 regency 20 nineteenth century 01 06 03 00 This volume presents an exhilarating and insightful collection of essays on Jane Austen – distilling the author’s deep understanding and appreciation of Austen’s works across a lifetime. The volume is both intra- and inter-textual in focus, ranging from perceptive analysis of individual scenes to the exploration of motifs across Austen’s fiction.Full of astute connections, these lively discussions hinge on the study of human behaviour – from family relationships to sickness and hypochondria – highlighting Austen’s artful literary techniques and her powers of human observation.Jane Austen: Reflections of a Reader by (the late) Nora Bartlett is a brilliant contribution to the field of Jane Austen studies, both in its accessible style (which preserves the oral register of the original lectures), and in its foregrounding of the reader in a warm, compelling and incisive conversation about Austen’s works. As such, it will appeal widely to all lovers of Jane Austen, whether first-time readers, students or scholars.<break/> 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0216_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749751 06 15 9781783749768 06 15 9781783749775 06 15 9781800646216 06 15 9781783749805 06 15 9781783749782 06 15 9781783749799 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0216.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0216 99 04 urn:uuid:b6c5366d-db28-4718-a91e-ac14c1c3b97e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b6c5366d-db28-4718-a91e-ac14c1c3b97e 15 9781805116394 06 10.11647/OBP.0474 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Jerome’s Sources in His Translation of the Hebrew Bible 1 A01 Paul Rodrigue 01 eng 00 368 03 04 BS85 20 Jerome 93 QRVC 10 REL006060 20 Hebrew Bible 93 QRMF12 10 REL006630 20 Biblical Translation 93 QRMF 10 REL006090 93 CFP 20 Church Fathers 10 REL067080 10 REL033000 20 Textual Criticism 10 LAN023000 20 Patristics 01 06 03 00 At the close of the fourth century CE, Jerome of Stridon—renowned Latin scholar, theologian, and priest—undertook the monumental task of translating the Hebrew-Aramaic Bible into Latin. The result of this effort, now known as the Vulgate, has long been regarded as a foundational text of Western Christianity. In this volume, Paul Rodrigue investigates the sources that Jerome may have drawn upon in the process of translation.Far from being just a rendering of the Hebrew-Aramaic Bible, the Vulgate emerges as a layered and multifaceted translation, shaped not only by the Hebrew-Aramaic text but also by a broad array of additional sources. Through a series of carefully chosen case studies, Rodrigue analyses a number of verses from the Joseph narrative in Genesis, as well as from Daniel and Esther. Each Vulgate passage is meticulously compared with its equivalents in the Hebrew-Aramaic Bible, the Septuagint, the Latin translations of the Septuagint, the Greek versions of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion, and—where applicable—the Targumim and rabbinic writings.This comparative approach reveals Jerome’s engagement with texts in four languages—Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin—and highlights his responses to both Jewish and Christian exegetical traditions. Importantly, the selected translations span Jerome’s career as a translator of the Hebrew-Aramaic Bible: Daniel at its outset (392–393), Genesis mid-career (late 390s), and Esther at its close (404–405). As such, Rodrigue’s analysis offers a chronologically nuanced study of Jerome’s evolving translation method (sensus de sensu), providing invaluable insight for scholars of biblical studies, late antiquity, translation theory, and the transmission of sacred texts. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0474_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116370 06 15 9781805116387 06 15 9781805116394 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0474.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0474 99 04 urn:uuid:b0f368a7-40d5-45f1-9f01-45a84f14da85 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b0f368a7-40d5-45f1-9f01-45a84f14da85 15 9781805110019 06 10.11647/OBP.0371 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Jesus and the Making of the Modern Mind, 1380-1520 1 A01 Luke Clossey 01 eng 00 800 03 04 BT304.3 12 HBLC1 20 Jesus 93 QRAX 10 REL015000 12 HBJD 20 Medieval 93 QRAC 10 REL075000 12 HBLC 10 HIS037010 93 NHDJ 20 Renaissance 12 HRCA 20 Religion 20 Social and intellectual history 01 06 03 00 For his fifteenth-century followers, Jesus was everywhere – from baptism to bloodcults to bowling. This sweeping and unconventional investigation looks at Jesus across one hundred forty years of social, cultural, and intellectual history. Mystics married him, Renaissance artists painted him in three dimensions, Muslim poets praised his life-giving breath, and Christopher (“Christ-bearing”) Columbus brought the symbol of his cross to the Americas. Beyond the European periphery, this global study follows Jesus across – and sometimes between – religious boundaries, from Greenland to Kongo to China.Amidst this diversity, Jesus and the Making of the Modern Mind, 1380-1520 offers readers sympathetic and immersive insight into the religious realities of its subjects. To this end, this book identifies two perspectives: one uncovers hidden meanings and unexpected connections, while the other restricts Jesus to the space and time of human history. Minds that believed in Jesus, and those that opposed him, made use of both perspectives to make sense of their worlds.This book includes over one hundred images, tables and audio clips. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0371_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800648180 06 15 9781783749577 06 15 9781805110019 06 15 9781800643079 06 15 9781800643055 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0371.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0371 99 04 urn:uuid:5b542db8-c128-48ff-a48c-003c95eaca25 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5b542db8-c128-48ff-a48c-003c95eaca25 15 9781783749690 06 10.11647/OBP.0214 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Jewish-Muslim Intellectual History Entangled Textual Materials from the Firkovitch Collection, Saint Petersburg 1 B01 21 0000-0003-1296-2605 Adang Camilla 2 B01 Bruno Chiesa 3 B01 Omar Hamdan 4 B01 Wilferd Madelung 5 B01 21 0000-0002-6181-5065 Sabine Schmidtke 6 B01 21 0000-0002-8865-5997 Jan Thiele 01 eng 00 504 03 04 DS119.7 10 HIS022000 12 JFSR1 20 library of the Karaite 20 Cairo 12 HRH 10 REL037010 12 HB 20 manuscript 20 medieval literary genres 20 Hebrew 20 Arabic 01 06 03 00 Jewish-Muslim Intellectual History Entangled unearths forgotten texts that once belonged to the library of the Karaite community in Cairo. Consigned to oblivion for centuries, many of these manuscripts were sold in the second half of the nineteenth century to the National Library of Russia in St Petersburg, where they remained inaccessible to most scholars until the end of the Cold War.The texts from the Karaite library cover a remarkable spectrum of medieval literary genres and scholarly disciplines, spanning works by Jewish, Muslim and Christian authors, in both Hebrew and Arabic. As such, they provide unique access to an otherwise lost body of literature from the medieval Islamicate world.This timely volume presents, for the first time, edited fragments of six texts by adherents of the Muʿtazila, a school of rational theology that emerged in the eighth century CE, including Karaite copies and recensions of works by Muslim authors, notably ʿAbd al-Jabbār al-Hamadhānī and ʿAbd Allāh b. Saʿīd al-Labbād, as well as original Jewish Muʿtazilī treatises. The collection is concluded by an anonymous Rabbanite refutation of the highly influential polemical tract against Judaism, entitled Ifḥām al-yāhūd.This collection offers unprecedented insights into the intellectual crossroads between Muslims and Jews of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. It will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars engaged with this period of history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0214_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783749676 06 15 9781783749683 06 15 9781783749690 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0214.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0214 99 04 urn:uuid:c0358331-a0f1-4d63-9bb0-e458dd534846 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c0358331-a0f1-4d63-9bb0-e458dd534846 15 9781805114161 06 10.11647/OBP.0429 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Joyce’s Choices New Textual Parallels in James Joyce’s ‘Dubliners’, ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’, and ‘Ulysses' 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2455-3323 R.

Mamigonian, and John Turner, shedding important new light on Joyce’s reading, thematic intentions, and creative technique. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0429_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114147 06 15 9781805114154 06 15 9781805114161 06 15 9781805114185 06 15 9781805114178 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0429.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0429 99 04 urn:uuid:df7eb598-914a-49eb-9cbd-9766bd06be84 03 01 01 urn:uuid:df7eb598-914a-49eb-9cbd-9766bd06be84 15 9781783743254 06 10.11647/OBP.0112 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 Just Managing?

'Hardworking families'. 'Alarm-clock Britain'. In recent years British political discourse has been filled with these slogans, as politicians claim to speak on behalf of families who are in work, but struggling to get by. This book allows us to hear from some of these families directly.At a time when the impact of austerity is more relevant than ever, Just Managing? cuts through the debates and sloganeering to give some of the real people behind the headlines and statistics a chance to tell their stories. It tracks the lives of thirty working families in Liverpool over one year, as they struggle to manage on incomes at or around the National Minimum Wage. Their accounts are placed within the economic and political context that has shaped their experiences and that of millions of other working families across the country.This book is required reading for anyone seeking to understand what life is like at the sharp end of 'austerity Britain’. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0112_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743230 06 15 9781783743247 06 15 9781783743254 06 15 9781800645318 06 15 9781783744176 06 15 9781783743261 06 15 9781783743278 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0112.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0112 99 04 urn:uuid:485fd9ca-2628-4b5c-b428-986e88b237e3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:485fd9ca-2628-4b5c-b428-986e88b237e3 15 9781805113966 06 10.11647/OBP.0425 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Knowledge A Human Interest Story 1 A01 21 0000-0002-0830-141X Brian Weatherson 01 eng 00 284 03 04 BD183 20 Interest-Relative Epistemology 10 PHI004000 93 QDTK 93 JBCC9 20 Nyāya Epistemology 10 PHI009000 10 PHI000000 93 QDTL 20 Rational Action 20 Knowledge and Belief 10 PHI011000 20 Inquiry and Reasoning 20 High-Stakes Scenarios 01 06 03 00 In this book the author argues for a groundbreaking perspective that knowledge is inherently interest-relative. This means that what one knows is influenced not just by belief, evidence, and truth, but crucially by the purposes those beliefs serve. Drawing from classical Nyāya epistemologies, the book asserts that knowledge rationalizes action: if you know something, it is sensible to act on it—and the best way to square this with an anti-sceptical epistemology is to say that knowledge is interest-relative.While versions of this view have been debated, they haven’t gained wide acceptance. The author addresses common objections with a refined formulation and explores how this perspective elucidates the role of knowledge in inquiry, daily life, and the history of thought. Key distinctions include the impact of “long odds” situations on knowledge, the distinctive role knowledge has a starting point for inquiry, and the importance of using non-ideal models in theorising about knowledge.Building on decades of scholarship, the author offers a cohesive theory that integrates and clarifies previous works, demonstrating that not only knowledge but also belief, rational belief, and evidence are interest-relative. This book is essential for those seeking a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between knowledge and practical interests. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0425_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113942 06 15 9781805113959 06 15 9781805113966 06 15 9781805113980 06 15 9781805113973 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0425 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0425.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:c5e415c4-1ed1-4c58-abae-b1476689a867 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c5e415c4-1ed1-4c58-abae-b1476689a867 15 9781783741854 06 10.11647/OBP.0083 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Knowledge and the Norm of Assertion An Essay in Philosophical Science 1 A01 John Turri 01 eng 00 126 03 12 HPK 20 Language 04 P95.55 10 PHI004000 12 GTR 20 knowledge 10 SCI090000 20 assertion 12 CFA 10 PSY008000 10 PHI038000 20 philosophy 20 psychology 20 cognitive science 20 biology 01 06 03 00 Language is a human universal reflecting our deeply social nature. Among its essential functions, language enables us to quickly and efficiently share information. We tell each other that many things are true—that is, we routinely make assertions. Information shared this way plays a critical role in the decisions and plans we make. In Knowledge and the Norm of Assertion, a distinguished philosopher and cognitive scientist investigates the rules or norms that structure our social practice of assertion. Combining evidence from philosophy, psychology, and biology, John Turri shows that knowledge is the central norm of assertion and explains why knowledge plays this role.Concise, comprehensive, non-technical, and thoroughly accessible, this volume quickly brings readers to the cutting edge of a major research program at the intersection of philosophy and science. It presupposes no philosophical or scientific training. It will be of interest to philosophers and scientists, is suitable for use in graduate and undergraduate courses, and will appeal to general readers interested in human nature, social cognition, and communication. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0083_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783741830 06 15 9781783741847 06 15 9781783741854 06 15 9781800645035 06 15 9781783746330 06 15 9781783741861 06 15 9781783741878 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0083.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0083 99 04 urn:uuid:9fc774fa-3a18-42d8-89e3-b5a23d822dd6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9fc774fa-3a18-42d8-89e3-b5a23d822dd6 15 9781783747818 06 10.11647/OBP.0182 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Labour and Value Rethinking Marx’s Theory of Exploitation 1 A01 Ernesto Screpanti 01 eng 00 142 03 04 BJ1474.5 10 EDU016000 12 H 20 Marx’s theory of exploitation 12 HB 10 HIS000000 20 Marxist thought 20 contemporary philosophy 12 HBG 10 HIS037000 20 economic theory 10 HIS054000 20 abstract labor 10 HIS039000 20 labor value 20 Marxist economics 01 06 03 00 In this book Ernesto Screpanti provides a rigorous examination of Marx’s theory of exploitation, one of the cornerstones of Marxist thought. With precision and clarity, he identifies the holes in traditional readings of Marx’s theory before advancing his own original interpretation, drawing on contemporary philosophy and economic theory to provide a refreshingly interdisciplinary exegesis.Screpanti’s arguments are delivered with perspicuity and verve: this is a book that aims to spark a debate. He exposes ambiguities present in Marx’s exposition of his own theory, especially when dealing with the employment contract and the notions of ‘abstract labor’ and ‘labor value’, and he argues that these ambiguities have given rise to misunderstandings in previous analyses of Marx’s theory of exploitation. Screpanti’s own interpretation is a meticulously argued counterpoint to these traditional interpretations.Labour and Value is a significant contribution to the theory of economics, particularly Marxist economics. It will also be of great interest to scholars in other disciplines including sociology, political science, and moral and political philosophy. Screpanti’s clear and engaging writing style will attract the interested general reader as well as the academic theorist. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0182_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747795 06 15 9781783747801 06 15 9781783747818 06 15 9781800645950 06 15 9781783747849 06 15 9781783747825 06 15 9781783747832 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0182 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0182.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a60caa40-2ce7-4044-afdd-721c94ed5617 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a60caa40-2ce7-4044-afdd-721c94ed5617 15 9781800648234 06 10.11647/OBP.0316 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Studies on Mathematics Education and Society 01 01 Landscapes of Investigation Contributions to Critical Mathematics Education 1 B01 21 0000-0003-0458-275X Miriam Godoy Penteado 2 B01 21 0000-0002-1528-796X Ole Skovsmose 01 eng 00 360 03 10 MAT000000 12 PB 04 QA11.2 20 social injustice 10 MAT027000 20 mathematics 12 PBB 10 EDU044000 20 primary education 12 YQM 10 EDU007000 12 JNA 20 secondary education 10 EDU060020 12 JNAM 20 university 10 EDU029010 12 JNU 20 teacher education 01 06 03 00 Creating landscapes of investigation is a primary concern of critical mathematics education. It enables us to organise educational processes so that students and teachers are able to get involved in explorations guided by dialogical interactions. It attempts to address explicit or implicit forms of social injustice by means of mathematics, and also to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that the subject represents objectivity and neutrality. Landscapes of Investigation provides many illustrations of how this can be done in primary, secondary, and university education. It also illustrates how exploring landscapes of investigation can contribute to mathematics teacher education programmes.This edited volume is the result of a collaboration established through the Colloquium in Research in Critical Mathematics Education, which took place in 2016, 2018, and 2019 in Brazil. Its twenty-eight contributors are young researchers from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico and the USA, who are dedicated to the further development of critical mathematics education.Organised in eighteen chapters, the volume presents examples of engaging students from a diversity of social and economic backgrounds, age ranges, and abilities across different countries. The chapters present original findings on the social aspects of all levels of mathematics education. Landscapes of Investigation is of particular relevance to those with an interest in the potential of mathematics education to challenge social injustices. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0316_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800648210 06 15 9781800648227 06 15 9781800648234 06 15 9781800648272 06 15 9781800648265 06 15 9781800648241 06 15 9781800648258 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0316 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0316.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:fb82dd5f-fc55-4bda-9a0e-d890bb2a70d2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fb82dd5f-fc55-4bda-9a0e-d890bb2a70d2 15 9781800642027 06 10.11647/OBP.0256 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Learning, Marginalization, and Improving the Quality of Education in Low-income Countries 1 B01 Daniel A.

This timely volume brings together contributions on current empirical research and analysis of emerging trends that focus on improving the quality of education through better policy and practice, particularly for those who need improved 'learning at the bottom of the pyramid' (LBOP).This volume brings together academic research experts, government officials and field-based practitioners. National and global experts present multiple broad thematic papers – ranging from the effects of migration and improving teaching to the potential of educational technologies, and better metrics for understanding and financing education. In addition, local experts, practitioners and policymakers describe their own work on LBOP issues being undertaken in Kenya, India, Mexico and Ivory Coast. The contributors argue persuasively that learning equity is a moral imperative, but also one that will have educational, economic and social impacts. They further outline how achieving SDG4 will take renewed and persistent effort by stakeholders to use better measurement tools to promote learning achievement among poor and marginalized children.This volume builds on the second international conference on Learning at the Bottom of the Pyramid (LBOP2).* It will be an indispensable resource for policymakers, researchers and government thinktanks, and local experts, as well as any readers interested in the implementation of learning equity across the globe. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0256_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Pennsylvania 16 IIEP-UNESCO 16 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800642003 06 15 9781800642010 06 15 9781800642027 06 15 9781800646506 06 15 9781800642058 06 15 9781800642034 06 15 9781800642041 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0256.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0256 99 04 urn:uuid:30867526-73f3-4e55-8afd-ffb5066de761 03 01 01 urn:uuid:30867526-73f3-4e55-8afd-ffb5066de761 15 9781800649392 06 10.11647/OBP.0333 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Learning Statistics with jamovi A Tutorial for Beginners in Statistical Analysis 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7648-6578 Danielle Navarro 2 A01 21 0000-0001-9752-7527 David Foxcroft 01 eng 00 490 03 10 MAT029000 93 PBT 04 QA276.45.J36 20 Statistics 10 COM021030 20 jamovi 93 UNC 20 Data Analysis 93 JHBC 10 SOC024000 20 Descriptive Statistics 93 JMAL 10 PSY045010 20 Hypothesis Testing 20 Psychology and Health Sciences 01 06 03 00 Based on Danielle Navarro’s widely acclaimed and prize-winning book Learning Statistics with R, this elegantly designed textbook offers undergraduate students a thorough and accessible introduction to jamovi, as well as how to get to grips with statistics and data manipulation.Lucid and easy to understand, Learning Statistics with jamovi covers the analysis of contingency tables, t-tests, correlation, regression, ANOVA and factor analysis, while also giving students a firm grounding in descriptive statistics and graphing.

Described as "deliberately repellent" by The New York Times, Jonathan Littell’s novel tells the story of World War II through the eyes of former SS officer Maximilien Aue. This is the first academic study of this controversial, best-selling work.Twenty-one leading scholars discuss the aesthetics, themes and characters of the novel, as well as formal aspects of Littell’s writing. They tackle ideas surrounding parricide, genocide, ant-Semitism and the Holocaust as well as Littell’s portrayal of both historical and fictional characters. The collection offers a deeply varied range of approaches to Littell’s work and is essential reading for anyone interested in representations of World War II, the Holocaust and contemporary French literature. All the essays in this collection are written in French. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0006_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2010 06 15 9781906924225 06 15 9781906924218 06 15 9781906924232 06 15 9781800644335 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0006.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0006 99 04 urn:uuid:049c7cf2-2a0c-4c27-9129-84f132fd7cee 03 01 01 urn:uuid:049c7cf2-2a0c-4c27-9129-84f132fd7cee 15 9781805112266 06 10.11647/OBP.0390 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Meta-Xenakis New Perspectives on Iannis Xenakis’s Life, Work, and Legacies 1 B01 Sharon Kanach 2 B01 Peter Nelson 01 eng 00 834 03 12 AVGC6 93 AVN 20 Iannis Xenakis 04 ML410.X45 10 MUS050000 93 AGA 10 ARC006000 12 AVH 20 music composition 20 aesthetics 10 ART015110 12 AVGW 93 QDTN 20 architecture 93 AVM 10 PHI001000 10 PER000000 20 twentieth century’s European culture 10 MUS020000 01 06 03 00 Meta-Xenakis offers readers a comprehensive collection of insights into the history, works and legacy of Iannis Xenakis, one of the twentieth century’s most significant creative figures. It presents a transcontinental engagement with his life and output, focusing as much on the impact of the questions he posed as on the accomplishments of his body of work. This volume evolved out of the multi-modal, international Meta-Xenakis Consortium’s artistic and scholarly events commemorating his centenary. Informative and comprehensive, contributions span subjects including music composition, creative pedagogy, aesthetics, game theory, architecture, and the social and political contexts in which Xenakis operated. The book is organized in eight sections, centered on different facets of Xenakis’s work and reception. It includes a digital archive of audio and visual media from the events staged throughout 2022, as well as computer software.Bringing into conversation the diverse perspectives and insights of researchers, musicians and artists, this volume serves as a foundational resource for future research on the life and work of Xenakis. It will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners across a range of disciplines including music, architecture, cybernetics and computation, and the digital arts. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0390_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112242 06 15 9781805112259 06 15 9781805112266 06 15 9781805112297 06 15 9781805112273 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0390.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0390 99 04 urn:uuid:53591faf-c78d-43c4-938d-bdab951e875e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:53591faf-c78d-43c4-938d-bdab951e875e 15 9781800641600 06 10.11647/OBP.0249 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Middlemarch Epigraphs and Mirrors 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1621-1964 Adam Roberts 01 eng 00 160 03 12 D 10 FIC027070 20 Middlemarch 04 PN6081 12 DSBF 20 George Eliot 10 LIT004120 20 epigraph 10 LIT000000 20 Casaubon 10 LIT024040 20 Adam Roberts 01 06 03 00 In Middlemarch, George Eliot draws a character passionately absorbed by abstruse allusion and obscure epigraphs. Casaubon’s obsession is a cautionary tale, but Adam Roberts nonetheless sees in him an invitation to take Eliot’s use of epigraphy and allusion seriously, and this book is an attempt to do just that.Roberts considers the epigraph as a mirror that refracts the meaning of a text, and that thus carries important resonances for the way Eliot’s novels generate their meanings. In this lively and provoking study, he tracks down those allusions and quotations that have hitherto gone unidentified by scholars, examining their relationship to the text in which they sit to unfurl a broader argument about the novel – both this novel, and the novel form itself.Middlemarch: Epigraphs and Mirrors is both a study of George Eliot and a meditation on the textuality of fiction. It is essential reading for specialists and students of George Eliot, the nineteenth century novel, and intertextuality. It will also richly reward anyone who has ever taken pleasure in Middlemarch. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0249_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641587 06 15 9781800641594 06 15 9781800641600 06 15 9781800646476 06 15 9781800641631 06 15 9781800641617 06 15 9781800641624 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0249 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0249.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:d3aa6575-216f-42fe-86a9-c7105b841a96 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d3aa6575-216f-42fe-86a9-c7105b841a96 15 9781800649255 06 10.11647/OBP.0331 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Migrant Academics’ Narratives of Precarity and Resilience in Europe 1 B01 21 0000-0002-7477-1655 Olga Burlyuk 2 B01 21 0000-0002-3840-708X Ladan Rahbari 01 eng 00 280 03 12 JFFN 04 LB1778.4.E85 20 narratives 10 SOC007000 12 JFSJ 20 migrant academics 10 SOC032000 20 autobiography 12 MBPK 10 MED102000 20 autoethnography 10 EDU014000 12 JHBL 10 EDU040000 12 JFSL1 20 mobility 20 precarity 20 resilience 20 care 20 solidarity 20 discrimination 20 exclusion 20 intersectionality 20 gender 20 race 01 06 03 00 This volume consists of narratives of migrant academics from the Global South within academia in the Global North. The autobiographic and autoethnographic contributions to this collection aim to decolonise the discourse around academic mobility by highlighting experiences of precarity, resilience, care and solidarity in the academic margins. The authors use precarity to analyse the state of affairs in the academy, from hiring practices to ‘culturally’ accepted division of labour, systematic forms of discrimination, racialisation, and gendered hierarchies, etc. Building on precarity as a critical concept for challenging social exclusion or forming political collectives, the authors move away from conventional academic styles, instead adopting autobiography and autoethnography as methods of intersectional scholarly analysis. This approach creatively challenges the divisions between the system and the individual, the mind and the soul, the objective and the subjective, as well as science, theory, and art.This volume will be of interest not only to scholars within the field of migration studies, but also to instructors and students of sociology, postcolonial studies, gender and race studies, and critical border studies. The volume’s interdisciplinary approach also seeks to address university diversity officers, managers, key decision-makers, and other readers directly or indirectly involved in contemporary academia. The format and style of its contributions are wide-ranging (including poetry and creative prose), thus making it accessible and readable for a general audience. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0331_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649231 06 15 9781800649248 06 15 9781800649255 06 15 9781800649293 06 15 9781800649286 06 15 9781800649262 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0331 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0331.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:5ae6e275-b5ad-44c1-9f6d-d315c0559028 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5ae6e275-b5ad-44c1-9f6d-d315c0559028 15 9781805111382 06 10.11647/OBP.0367 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Misunderstandings False Beliefs in Communication 1 A01 Georg Weizsäcker 01 eng 00 134 03 10 BUS069000 20 Conversational Expectations 12 KC 93 KC 04 P96.M56 10 BUS069010 12 KCA 93 KCK 20 Successful Communication 10 BUS069040 20 Game Theory 12 KCK 10 BUS016000 20 Misunderstandings 20 Language and Human Interaction 20 Behavioral Economics 01 06 03 00 What do we expect when we say something to someone, and what do they expect when they hear it? When is a conversation successful? The book considers a wide set of two-person conversations, and a bit of game theory, to show how conversational statements and their interpretations are governed by beliefs. Thinking about beliefs is suitable for communication analysis because beliefs are well-defined and measurable, allowing to differentiate between successful understandings and their less successful counterparts: misunderstandings.The book describes the theoretical framework and empirical measurements of misunderstandings – written by an economist, but in simple words and using interdisciplinary concepts.

The chapters scrutinize the capacity of translocality to describe, in new ways, the multiple mobilities, exchange practices and globalizing processes that link places, people and institutions in Central Asia and the Caucasus with others in Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates.Illuminating translocality as a productive concept for studying cross‐regional connectivities and networks, this volume is an important contribution to a lively field of academic discourse. Following new directions in Area Studies, the chapters aim to overcome ‘territorial containers’ such as the nation‐state or local community, and instead emphasize the significance of processes of translation and negotiation for understanding how meaningful localities emerge beyond conventional boundaries.<break/>Structured by the four themes ‘crossing boundaries’, ‘travelling ideas’, ‘social and economic movements’ and ‘pious endeavours’, this volume proposes three conceptual approaches to translocality: firstly, to trace how it is embodied, narrated, virtualized or institutionalized within or in reference to physical or imagined localities; secondly, to understand locality as a relational concept rather than a geographically bounded unit; and thirdly, to consider cross‐border traders, travelling students, business people and refugees as examples of non-elite mobilities that provide alternative ways to think about what ‘global’ means today.Mobilities, Boundaries, and Travelling Ideas will be of interest to students and scholars of the anthropology, history and sociology of Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as for those interested in new approaches to Area Studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0114_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Volkswagen Foundation Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783743339 06 15 9781783743346 06 15 9781783743353 06 15 9781800645332 06 15 9781783744992 06 15 9781783743360 06 15 9781783743377 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0114.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0114 99 04 urn:uuid:2a057156-7370-4741-afa1-a5b19fb11da6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2a057156-7370-4741-afa1-a5b19fb11da6 15 9781800648463 06 10.11647/OBP.0369 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Modelling Between Digital and Humanities Thinking in Practice 1 A01 21 0000-0003-4247-1073 Arianna Ciula 2 A01 21 0000-0002-7766-6287 Øyvind Eide 3 A01 21 0000-0001-5927-897X Cristina Marras 4 A01 21 0000-0002-8648-2033 Patrick Sahle 01 eng 00 236 03 04 AZ105 12 CFK 93 GLM 10 LAN025000 20 Modelling 20 Computational models 12 JHBC 93 JHBC 10 SOC024000 10 COM079010 20 Language 12 U 93 UYZ 12 GTC 20 technology 20 literature 01 06 03 00 This volume presents an exploration of Digital Humanities (DH), a field focused on the reciprocal transformation of digital technologies and humanities scholarship. Central to DH research is the practice of modelling, which involves translating intricate knowledge systems into computational models. This book addresses a fundamental query: How can an effective language be developed to conceptualize and guide modelling in DH?Modelling, with its historical roots, carries multifaceted meanings influenced by various disciplinary contexts. Modelling Between Digital and Humanities innovatively connects DH with the historical tradition of model-based thinking in the humanities, cultural studies, and the sciences. It endeavors to reshape interpretative frameworks by contextualizing DH's modelling practices within a broader conceptual landscape.Through an exploration of digital, visual and data models, the book asserts that DH holds the potential to be a cornerstone of a novel cultural literacy paradigm. By probing the interplay between technology and thought, the book ultimately positions DH as a catalyst for transformative cultural insights. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0369_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110989 06 15 9781800648111 06 15 9781800648463 06 15 9781800649705 06 15 9781800648951 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0369 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0369.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:ce526966-5722-4206-83c1-6578bf46d0a5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ce526966-5722-4206-83c1-6578bf46d0a5 15 9781805111269 06 10.11647/OBP.0362 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Models in Microeconomic Theory Expanded Second Edition (He) 1 A01 21 0000-0001-8584-6176 Martin J.

It presents the main formal models used to study the behavior of individuals and groups in political contexts, from choosing public policies and participating as voters and candidates in elections, to staging revolutions. Complete mathematical proofs are provided, to clarify the assumptions and deepen understanding.Part I presents models of collective choice. The main question is whether methods exist for selecting a reasonable compromise when individuals’ preferences differ. Models of voting are studied in Part II. Included are models in which the individuals differ in their preferences as well as ones in which they differ in their information. One chapter considers the implications of individuals having ethical concerns, and another studies a model of sequential voting. Models of electoral competition, under the assumption of various motivations for the candidates, are discussed in Part III. One chapter is devoted to the application of these models to the study of redistributive policy. The book concludes with Part IV, which covers models of bargaining and rebellion.The book offers a rigorous yet accessible foundation for understanding how formal tools can illuminate political phenomena. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0490_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805117063 06 15 9781805117070 06 15 9781805117087 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0490 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0490.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:2ce85fcb-0438-4f80-b8f7-29b84c0ddd87 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2ce85fcb-0438-4f80-b8f7-29b84c0ddd87 15 9781783743407 06 10.11647/OBP.0115 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Modernism and the Spiritual in Russian Art New Perspectives 1 B01 21 0000-0002-0544-2372 Louise Hardiman 2 B01 Nicola Kozicharow 01 eng 00 318 03 12 ABA 10 ART049000 04 N6987 20 Russia 12 AFC 20 art 10 ART035000 12 AG 20 religion 20 modernism 20 spirituality 20 history of art 01 06 03 00 In 1911 Vasily Kandinsky published the first edition of ‘On the Spiritual in Art’, a landmark modernist treatise in which he sought to reframe the meaning of art and the true role of the artist. For many artists of late Imperial Russia – a culture deeply influenced by the regime’s adoption of Byzantine Orthodoxy centuries before – questions of religion and spirituality were of paramount importance. As artists and the wider art community experimented with new ideas and interpretations at the dawn of the twentieth century, their relationship with ‘the spiritual’ – broadly defined – was inextricably linked to their roles as pioneers of modernism.This diverse collection of essays introduces new and stimulating approaches to the ongoing debate as to how Russian artistic modernism engaged with questions of spirituality in the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Ten chapters from emerging and established voices offer new perspectives on Kandinsky and other familiar names, such as Kazimir Malevich, Mikhail Larionov, and Natalia Goncharova, and introduce less well-known figures, such as the Georgian artists Ucha Japaridze and Lado Gudiashvili, and the craftswoman and art promoter Aleksandra Pogosskaia.Prefaced by a lively and informative introduction by Louise Hardiman and Nicola Kozicharow that sets these perspectives in their historical and critical context, Modernism and the Spiritual in Russian Art: New Perspectives enriches our understanding of the modernist period and breaks new ground in its re-examination of the role of religion and spirituality in the visual arts in late Imperial Russia. Of interest to historians and enthusiasts of Russian art, culture, and religion, and those of international modernism and the avant-garde, it offers innovative readings of a history only partially explored, revealing uncharted corners and challenging long-held assumptions. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0115_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Scouloudi Foundation, Institute of Historical Research Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743384 06 15 9781783743391 06 15 9781783743407 06 15 9781800645349 06 15 9781783744510 06 15 9781783743414 06 15 9781783743421 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0115.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0115 99 04 urn:uuid:d9e671dd-ab2a-4fd0-ada3-4925449a63a8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d9e671dd-ab2a-4fd0-ada3-4925449a63a8 15 9781906924584 06 10.11647/OBP.0017 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 Letters of Blood and Other Works in English 1 A01 Göran Printz-Påhlson 2 B01 Robert Archambeau 3 Z01 Lars-Håkan Svensson 4 Z01 Elinor Shaffer 01 eng 00 261 03 12 DCF 10 POE005030 20 Poetry 04 PT9876.26.R5 12 DSA 10 LIT014000 20 Swedish poetry 12 1DNS 20 Swedish literature 20 Sweden 20 The Words of the Tribe 20 modernism 20 Scandinavia 20 Scandinavian literature 20 American poetry 20 primitivism 20 literary theory 20 literary materialism 20 literary criticism 01 06 03 00 This collection brings together for the first time select works in English by the major Swedish modernist poet and critic Göran Printz-Påhlson.

As well as Letters of Blood, the collection includes the full text of "The Words of the Tribe", a major statement on modern poetics, in which Printz-Påhlson explores the significance of primitivism in Romanticism and Modernism, and the nature of metaphor and literary materialism. The collection also includes essays on style, irony, realism, and the relationship between historical drama and historical fiction, as well as studies of American poetry. Printz-Påhlson’s poetry in English continues to explore these themes by different, often surprisingly innovative, means. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0017_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Swedish Academy Cambridge, UK 04 19 2011 06 15 9781906924560 06 15 9781906924577 06 15 9781906924584 06 15 9781800644441 06 15 9781906924591 06 15 9781906924607 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0017.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0017 99 04 urn:uuid:c699f257-f3e4-4c98-9a3f-741c6a40b62a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c699f257-f3e4-4c98-9a3f-741c6a40b62a 15 9781783743452 06 10.11647/OBP.0116 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 L’idée de l’Europe au Siècle des Lumières 1 B01 Rotraud von Kulessa 2 B01 21 0000-0002-6061-8502 Catriona Seth 01 eng 00 174 03 04 CB411 12 DQ 20 Europe 10 LCO008000 12 HP 10 PHI034000 20 Siècle des Lumières 12 HPS 20 paix 10 PHI019000 12 1QFE 10 HIS010000 20 union européenne 20 anthologie 20 Rousseau 20 Voltaire 20 Kant 20 Hume 01 06 03 00 Face aux défis – entre autres politiques – auxquels sont confrontés différents pays européens, les chercheurs dix-huitiémistes ont souhaité revenir sur des expressions anciennes de valeurs partagées et les interrogations passées sur des questions qui restent souvent d’actualité. Au Siècle des Lumières, nombre d’hommes et de femmes de lettres ont envisagé l’avenir du continent en particulier pour entériner leur souhait de garantir la paix en Europe. Les textes, réunis dans cette anthologie, et signés des grands écrivains du temps (Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Kant, Hume ou encore Staël), comme d’oubliés de l’histoire, présentent, avec quelques excursus chronologiques (de Sully à Hugo) les réflexions de penseurs d’un dix-huitième siècle aux bornes chronologiques étendues – l’émergence et la chute de l’Empire engendrent des bouleversements nombreux –, sur l’Europe, son histoire, sa diversité, mais aussi sur ce qu’ont en commun les nations qui composent, dans leur variété, un ensemble géographique. Ils mettent en évidence les origines historiques d’un projet d’union européenne, le souhait de consolider les liens du continent avec le Maghreb ou la Turquie, l’importance accordée au commerce et les inquiétudes suscitées par les sursauts de l’histoire, mais aussi l’espoir placé dans les générations futures.La Société française d’étude du XVIIIe siècle, l’Université d’Augsburg, l’Université d’Oxford ont généreusement contribué à la publication de ce volume.In view of the challenges—many of which are political—that different European countries are currently facing, scholars who work on the 18th century have compiled this anthology which includes earlier recognitions of common values and past considerations of questions which often remain pertinent nowadays. During the Enlightenment, many men and women of letters envisaged the continent’s future in particular when stressing their hope that peace could be secured in Europe. The texts gathered here, and signed by major thinkers of the time (Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Kant, Hume or Staël for instance), as well as by writers history has forgotten, present the reflections, with a couple of chronological extensions (from Sully to Victor Hugo) of authors from the long eighteenth century—the French Empire and the fall of Napoleon generated numerous upheavals—on Europe, its history, its diversity, but also on what the nations, which, in all their diversity, make up a geographical unit, have in common. They show the historical origins of the project of a European union, the desire to consolidate the continent’s ties to the Maghreb or to Turkey, the importance granted to commerce and the worries engendered by history’s convulsions, but also the hope vested in future generations. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0116_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Société française d’étude du XVIIIe siècle 16 Augsburg University 16 University of Oxford Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743438 06 15 9781783743445 06 15 9781783743452 06 15 9781800645356 06 15 9781783746156 06 15 9781783743469 06 15 9781783743476 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0116 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0116.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a795aafb-d189-4d15-8e64-b9a3fbfa8e09 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a795aafb-d189-4d15-8e64-b9a3fbfa8e09 15 9781783745463 06 10.11647/OBP.0150 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9624-5867 David G.

In the twentieth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour. Yet outside the academy, etnos-style arguments not only persist, but are a vibrant part of regional anthropological traditions. Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond makes a powerful argument for reconsidering the importance of etnos in our understanding of ethnicity and national identity across Eurasia. The collection brings to life a rich archive of previously unpublished letters, fieldnotes, and photographic collections of the theory’s early proponents. Using contemporary fieldwork and case studies, the volume shows how the ideas of these ethnographers continue to impact and shape identities in various regional theatres from Ukraine to the Russian North to the Manchurian steppes of what is now China. Through writing a life history of these collectivist concepts, the contributors to this volume unveil a world where the assumptions of liberal individualism do not hold. In doing so, they demonstrate how notions of belonging are not fleeting but persistent, multi-generational, and bio-social. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0150_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783745449 06 15 9781783745456 06 15 9781783745463 06 15 9781800645691 06 15 9781783746859 06 15 9781783745470 06 15 9781783745487 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0150.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0150 99 04 urn:uuid:a3cc91bc-258f-4d24-bc12-45f662cbe22f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a3cc91bc-258f-4d24-bc12-45f662cbe22f 15 9781800647510 06 10.11647/OBP.0303 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Life, Re-Scaled The Biological Imagination in Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance 1 B01 21 0000-0003-0839-3120 Liliane Campos 2 B01 Pierre-Louis Patoine 01 eng 00 418 03 12 DS 20 life sciences 10 LIT000000 04 PN55 12 DSK 20 fiction 10 SCI020000 12 FA 20 poetry 10 SCI008000 10 ART060000 20 comics 12 DSB 20 performance 12 PS 20 ethics 12 RNT 12 AFKP 20 philosophy 20 politics 20 biological imagination 01 06 03 00 This edited volume explores new engagements with the life sciences in contemporary fiction, poetry, comics and performance. The gathered case studies investigate how recent creative work reframes the human within microscopic or macroscopic scales, from cellular biology to systems ecology, and engages with the ethical, philosophical, and political issues raised by the twenty-first century’s shifting views of life. The collection thus examines literature and performance as spaces that shape our contemporary biological imagination.Comprised of thirteen chapters by an international group of academics, Life, Re-Scaled: The Biological Imagination in Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance engages with four main areas of biological study: ‘Invisible scales: cells, microbes and mycelium’, ‘Neuro-medical imaging and diagnosis’, ‘Pandemic imaginaries’, and ‘Ecological scales’. The authors examine these concepts in emerging forms such as plant theatre, climate change art, ecofiction and pandemic fiction, including the work of Jeff Vandermeer, Jon McGregor, Jeff Lemire, and Extinction Rebellion’s Red Rebel Brigade performances.This valuable resource moves beyond the biological paradigms that were central to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to outline the specificity of a contemporary imagination. Life, Re-Scaled is crucial reading for academics, scholars, and authors alike, as it proposes an unprecedented overview of the relationship between literature, performance and the life sciences in the twenty-first century. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0303_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Sorbonne Nouvelle University 01 programname PRISMES laboratory 16 Institut Universitaire de France Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647497 06 15 9781800647503 06 15 9781800647510 06 15 9781800647558 06 15 9781800647541 06 15 9781800647527 06 15 9781800647534 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0303.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0303 99 04 urn:uuid:5c55effb-2a3e-4e0d-a46d-edad7830fd8e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5c55effb-2a3e-4e0d-a46d-edad7830fd8e 15 9781783747191 06 10.11647/OBP.0171 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Lifestyle in Siberia and the Russian North 1 B01 Joachim Otto Habeck 01 eng 00 488 03 04 DK757.3 12 J 20 lifestyle 10 SOC000000 12 JH 20 Siberia 10 SOC002000 12 JHMC 20 Russian North 10 SOC002010 20 Anthropology 12 JFC 12 1DVUA 01 06 03 00 Lifestyle in Siberia and the Russian North breaks new ground by exploring the concept of lifestyle from a distinctly anthropological perspective. Showcasing the collective work of ten experienced scholars in the field, the book goes beyond concepts of tradition that have often been the focus of previous research, to explain how political, economic and technological changes in Russia have created a wide range of new possibilities and constraints in the pursuit of different ways of life.Each contribution is drawn from meticulous first-hand field research, and the authors engage with theoretical questions such as whether and how the concept of lifestyle can be extended beyond its conventionally urban, Euro-American context and employed in a markedly different setting. Lifestyle in Siberia and the Russian North builds on the contributors’ clear commitment to diversifying the field and providing a novel and intimate insight into this vast and dynamic region.This book provides inspiring reading for students and teachers of Anthropology, Sociology and Cultural Studies and for anyone interested in Russia and its regions. By providing ethnographic case studies, it is also a useful basis for teaching anthropological methods and concepts, both at graduate and undergraduate level. Rigorous and innovative, it marks an important contribution to the study of Siberia and the Russian North. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0171_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747177 06 15 9781783747184 06 15 9781783747191 06 15 9781800645868 06 15 9781783747221 06 15 9781783747207 06 15 9781783747214 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0171 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0171.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:6090bfc8-3143-4599-b0dd-17705f754e8c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6090bfc8-3143-4599-b0dd-17705f754e8c 15 9781800641099 06 10.11647/OBP.0240 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Like Nobody's Business An Insider's Guide to How US University Finances Really Work 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3566-0004 Andrew C.

Using simple, approachable explanations supported by clear illustrations, this book takes the reader on an engaging and enlightening tour of how the money flows. How does the university really pay for itself? Why do tuition and fees rise so fast? Why do universities lose money on research? Do most donations go to athletics?Grounded in hard data, original analyses, and the practical experience of a seasoned administrator, this book provides refreshingly clear answers and comprehensive insights for anyone on or off campus who is interested in the business of the university: how it earns its money, how it spends it, and how it all works. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0240_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641075 06 15 9781800641082 06 15 9781800641099 06 15 9781800646414 06 15 9781800641129 06 15 9781800641105 06 15 9781800641112 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0240.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0240 99 04 urn:uuid:25a2f70a-832d-4c8d-b28f-75f838b6e171 03 01 01 urn:uuid:25a2f70a-832d-4c8d-b28f-75f838b6e171 15 9781783749898 06 10.11647/OBP.0218 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Liminal Spaces Migration and Women of the Guyanese Diaspora 1 B01 Grace Aneiza Ali 01 eng 00 232 03 12 AG 04 F2381 20 migration 10 SOC008000 12 JFFN 20 migration narratives 10 SOC007000 12 JFS 10 SOC028000 20 women 20 Guyana 20 Guyanese women 20 from the 1950s 20 visual exhibition 20 essays 20 artworks 20 memoir 20 creative non-fiction 20 poetry 20 photography 20 art and curatorial essays 20 notion of homeland 20 accountability 01 06 03 00 Liminal Spaces is an intimate exploration into the migration narratives of fifteen women of Guyanese heritage. It spans diverse inter-generational perspectives – from those who leave Guyana, and those who are left – and seven seminal decades of Guyana’s history – from the 1950s to the present day – bringing the voices of women to the fore. The volume is conceived of as a visual exhibition on the page; a four-part journey navigating the contributors’ essays and artworks, allowing the reader to trace the migration path of Guyanese women from their moment of departure, to their arrival on diasporic soils, to their reunion with Guyana.Eloquent and visually stunning, Liminal Spaces unpacks the global realities of migration, challenging and disrupting dominant narratives associated with Guyana, its colonial past, and its post-colonial present as a ‘disappearing nation’. Multimodal in approach, the volume combines memoir, creative non-fiction, poetry, photography, art and curatorial essays to collectively examine the mutable notion of ‘homeland’, and grapple with ideas of place and accountability.This volume is a welcome contribution to the scholarly field of international migration, transnationalism, and diaspora, both in its creative methodological approach, and in its subject area – as one of the only studies published on Guyanese diaspora. It will be of great interest to those studying women and migration, and scholars and students of diaspora studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0218_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783749874 06 15 9781783749881 06 15 9781783749898 06 15 9781800646230 06 15 9781783749928 06 15 9781783749904 06 15 9781783749911 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0218.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0218 99 04 urn:uuid:f30544e1-3c12-4569-9072-4ba0d99faa12 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f30544e1-3c12-4569-9072-4ba0d99faa12 15 9781805111108 06 10.11647/OBP.0358 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Linguistic Theory and the Biblical Text 1 B01 21 0000-0001-6706-3135 William A.

Cognitive Linguistics, Functional Grammar, generative linguistics, historical linguistics, complexity theory, and computational analysis are each allotted a chapter, outlining the key theoretical commitments of each approach, their major concepts and/or methods, and their important contributions to contemporary study of the biblical text. As academic disciplines and academic publishing proliferate and become more complex in a digital and global context, synthesising volumes such as this one have taken on new importance for both specialists and generalists alike. That is particularly the case in interdisciplinary areas of research. This volume therefore sets out to make linguistic theory clearer and more accessible to biblical scholars in particular, not only by careful explanation but also by specific illustration, drawing upon ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek languages within the Christian biblical corpus. The volume assists the reader in distinguishing the separate assumptions and scope of study for the separate theories, recognising methods of approach that can be applied to any of the theories, and the role of an umbrella theory to enable all the others to fruitfully interact.The bibliographies provided are structured for the non-specialist, noting handbooks, companions, and glossaries, general introductions, and foundational texts. In so doing, this volume presents not only a fully up-to-date cross-section of linguistic research in biblical scholarship but also an explicit path into the field, while highlighting important avenues for continued investigation and collaboration. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0358_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805111085 06 15 9781805111092 06 15 9781805111108 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0358 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0358.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:9845c8a9-b283-4cb8-8961-d41e5fe795f1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9845c8a9-b283-4cb8-8961-d41e5fe795f1 15 9781783742752 06 10.11647/OBP.0102 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Literature Against Criticism University English and Contemporary Fiction in Conflict 1 A01 21 0000-0002-5589-8511 Martin Paul Eve 01 eng 00 248 03 20 Contemporary fiction 12 DS 10 LIT000000 20 Academia 12 DSK 10 LIT024060 12 FA 10 FIC019000 20 University English 10 LIT004020 20 metafiction 20 Jennifer Egan 20 Ishmael Reed 20 Tom McCarthy 20 Sarah Waters 20 Percival Everett 20 Roberto Bolaño 01 06 03 00 This is a book about the power game currently being played out between two symbiotic cultural institutions: the university and the novel. As the number of hyper-knowledgeable literary fans grows, students and researchers in English departments waiver between dismissing and harnessing voices outside the academy. Meanwhile, the role that the university plays in contemporary literary fiction is becoming increasingly complex and metafictional, moving far beyond the ‘campus novel’ of the mid-twentieth century.Martin Paul Eve’s engaging and far-reaching study explores the novel's contribution to the ongoing displacement of cultural authority away from university English. Spanning the works of Jennifer Egan, Ishmael Reed, Tom McCarthy, Sarah Waters, Percival Everett, Roberto Bolaño and many others, Literature Against Criticism forces us to re-think our previous notions about the relationship between those who write literary fiction and those who critique it. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0102_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Birkbeck, University of London Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742738 06 15 9781783742745 06 15 9781783742752 06 15 9781800645219 06 15 9781783746231 06 15 9781783742769 06 15 9781783742776 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0102.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0102 99 04 urn:uuid:f957ab3d-c925-4bf2-82fa-9809007753e7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f957ab3d-c925-4bf2-82fa-9809007753e7 15 9781783748051 06 10.11647/OBP.0186 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Living Earth Community Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing 1 B01 Sam Mickey 2 B01 Mary Evelyn Tucker 3 B01 John Grim 01 eng 00 286 03 20 Earth 04 GF41 12 RN 10 SCI019000 20 environment 04 L577 12 RNT 10 SCI026000 12 RNA 20 scholars 10 SCI042000 20 ecosystems 12 J 10 SOC026040 20 ecological knowledge 12 PSAF 20 scientific knowledge 20 ecological crisis 01 06 03 00 Living Earth Community: Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing is a celebration of the diversity of ways in which humans can relate to the world around them, and an invitation to its readers to partake in planetary coexistence. Innovative, informative, and highly accessible, this interdisciplinary anthology of essays brings together scholars, writers and educators across the sciences and humanities, in a collaborative effort to illuminate the different ways of being in the world and the different kinds of knowledge they entail – from the ecological knowledge of Indigenous communities, to the scientific knowledge of a biologist and the embodied knowledge communicated through storytelling.This anthology examines the interplay between Nature and Culture in the setting of our current age of ecological crisis, stressing the importance of addressing these ecological crises occurring around the planet through multiple perspectives. These perspectives are exemplified through diverse case studies – from the political and ethical implications of thinking with forests, to the capacity of storytelling to motivate action, to the worldview of the Indigenous Okanagan community in British Columbia.Living Earth Community: Multiple Ways of Being and Knowing synthesizes insights from across a range of academic fields, and highlights the potential for synergy between disciplinary approaches and inquiries. This anthology is essential reading not only for researchers and students, but for anyone interested in the ways in which humans interact with the community of life on Earth, especially during this current period of environmental emergency. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0186_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748037 06 15 9781783748044 06 15 9781783748051 06 15 9781800645981 06 15 9781783748082 06 15 9781783748068 06 15 9781783748075 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0186.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0186 99 04 urn:uuid:545f9f42-87c0-415e-9086-eee27925c85b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:545f9f42-87c0-415e-9086-eee27925c85b 15 9781783743858 06 10.11647/OBP.0124 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet Texts in Mongghul, Chinese, and English 1 Z01 Li Dechun 2 B01 Gerald Roche 3 Z01 21 0000-0002-2262-0986 Mark Turin 01 eng 00 470 03 12 DS 10 LCO004000 20 Mongghul oral literature 04 PL431.M67 12 DCQ 04 L66 10 LIT022000 20 narrative songs 12 2GD 10 LIT008000 20 multilingualism 20 Tibet 20 China’s ethnic minorities 20 pre-colonial multilingualism 01 06 03 00 Containing ballads of martial heroism, tales of tragic lovers and visions of the nature of the world, Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet: Texts in Mongghul, Chinese, and English is a rich repository of songs collected amongst the Mongghul of the Seven Valleys, on the northeast Tibetan Plateau in western China. These songs represent the apogee of Mongghul oral literature, and they provide valuable insights into the lives of Mongghul people—their hopes, dreams, and worries. They bear testimony to the impressive plurilingual repertoire commanded by some Mongghul singers: the original texts in Tibetan, Mongghul, and Chinese are here presented in Mongghul, Chinese, and English.The kaleidoscope of stories told in these songs include that of Marshall Qi, a chieftain from the Seven Valleys who travels to Luoyang with his Mongghul army to battle rebels; Laarimbu and Qiimunso, a pair of star-crossed lovers who take revenge from beyond the grave on the families that kept them apart; and the Crop-Planting Song and the Sheep Song, which map the physical and spiritual terrain of the Mongghul people, vividly describing the physical and cosmological world in which they exist.This collection of songs is supported by an Introduction by Gerald Roche that provides an understanding of their traditional context, and shows that these works offer insights into the practices of multilingualism in Tibet. Long Narrative Songs from the Mongghul of Northeast Tibet is vital reading for researchers and others working on oral literature, as well as those who study Inner Asia, Tibet, and China’s ethnic minorities. Finally, this book is of interest to linguistic anthropologists and sociolinguists, particularly those working on small-scale multilingualism and pre-colonial multilingualism. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0124_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Melbourne Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743834 06 15 9781783743841 06 15 9781783743858 06 15 9781800645431 06 15 9781783744398 06 15 9781783743865 06 15 9781783743872 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0124 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0124.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:734b7fea-08d8-41a9-aa78-ff28a796db9b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:734b7fea-08d8-41a9-aa78-ff28a796db9b 15 9781783747405 06 10.11647/OBP.0175 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Love and Intrigue A Bourgeois Tragedy 1 Z01 Flora Kimmich 2 Z01 21 0000-0002-4928-4513 Roger Paulin 01 eng 01 ger 00 128 03 12 DSG 20 Friedrich Schiller 10 LIT004170 04 PT2468.K2 12 AN 10 LIT013000 20 play 20 translation 20 Kabale und Liebe 20 social constraint 20 youthful passion 20 Duke of Württemberg 20 love affair 20 class 20 Germany 20 domestic tragedy 20 Roger Paulin 01 06 03 00 Schiller’s play Kabale und Liebe, usually translated into English as Love and Intrigue, represents the disastrous consequences that follow when social constraint, youthful passion, and ruthless scheming collide in a narrow setting. Written between 1782 and 1784, the play bears the marks of life at the court of the despotic Duke of Württemberg, from which Schiller had just fled, and of a fraught liaison he entered shortly after his flight. It tells the tale of a love affair that crosses the boundaries of class, between a fiery and rebellious young nobleman and the beautiful and dutiful daughter of a musician. Their affair becomes entangled in the competing purposes of malign and not-so-malign figures present at an obscure and sordid princely court somewhere in Germany. It all leads to a climactic murder–suicide.Love and Intrigue, the third of Schiller’s canonical plays (after The Robbers and Fiesco’s Conspiracy at Genoa), belongs to the genre of domestic tragedy, with a small cast and an action indoors. It takes place as the highly conventional world of the late eighteenth century stands poised to erupt, and these tensions pervade its setting and emerge in its action. This lively play brims with comedy and tragedy expressed in a colorful, highly colloquial, sometimes scandalous prose well captured in Flora Kimmich’s skilled and informed translation. An authoritative essay by Roger Paulin introduces the reader to the play.As with all books in the Open Book Classics series, this translation is supported by an introduction and notes that situate an old text in its period and help both the student and the general reader read it with ease and with pleasure. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0175_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747382 06 15 9781783747399 06 15 9781783747405 06 15 9781800645899 06 15 9781783747436 06 15 9781783747412 06 15 9781783747429 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0175 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0175.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:7e1baee7-9aa3-47b2-b857-2c8296051c5c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7e1baee7-9aa3-47b2-b857-2c8296051c5c 15 9781783743506 06 10.11647/OBP.0117 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Love and its Critics From the Song of Songs to Shakespeare and Milton’s Eden 1 A01 21 0000-0003-3383-8101 Michael Bryson 2 A01 Arpi Movsesian 01 eng 00 576 03 12 DSGS 10 LIT004190 20 love 04 PN56.L6 12 DSC 10 LIT020000 20 poetry 12 DSA 10 LIT011000 20 Western canon 12 DSBB 20 hermeneutics 10 LIT014000 20 critical reception 12 DSBD 10 LIT019000 20 troubadour poets 20 fin’amor 01 06 03 00 This book is a history of love and the challenge love offers to the laws and customs of its times and places, as told through poetry from the Song of Songs to John Milton’s Paradise Lost. It is also an account of the critical reception afforded to such literature, and the ways in which criticism has attempted to stifle this challenge.Bryson and Movsesian argue that the poetry they explore celebrates and reinvents the love the troubadour poets of the eleventh and twelfth centuries called fin’amor: love as an end in itself, mutual and freely chosen even in the face of social, religious, or political retribution. Neither eros nor agape, neither exclusively of the body, nor solely of the spirit, this love is a middle path. Alongside this tradition has grown a critical movement that employs a 'hermeneutics of suspicion', in Paul Ricoeur’s phrase, to claim that passionate love poetry is not what it seems, and should be properly understood as worship of God, subordination to Empire, or an entanglement with the structures of language itself – in short, the very things it resists.<break/>The book engages with some of the seminal literature of the Western canon, including the Bible, the poetry of Ovid, and works by English authors such as William Shakespeare and John Donne, and with criticism that stretches from the earliest readings of the Song of Songs to contemporary academic literature. Lively and enjoyable in its style, it attempts to restore a sense of pleasure to the reading of poetry, and to puncture critical insistence that literature must be outwitted. It will be of value to professional, graduate, and advanced undergraduate scholars of literature, and to the educated general reader interested in treatments of love in poetry throughout history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0117_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 California State University Northridge Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743483 06 15 9781783743490 06 15 9781783743506 06 15 9781800645363 06 15 9781783746163 06 15 9781783743513 06 15 9781783743520 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0117.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0117 99 04 urn:uuid:d9fd9a50-2db5-40f8-a7fe-87ef41cf6a2a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d9fd9a50-2db5-40f8-a7fe-87ef41cf6a2a 15 9781805118039 06 10.11647/OBP.0511 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Make/Unmake Play at the Centre of Culture Change 1 A01 Anna Beresin 01 eng 00 198 03 93 JHMC 20 play 10 SOC047000 93 5LC 20 playgrounds 10 SOC002010 10 EDU009000 93 JNA 20 makerspaces 20 childhood studies 10 PSY004000 20 culture change 10 POL038000 20 UNICEF 01 06 03 00 Anna Beresin’s 'Make/Unmake' is an engaging and deeply original exploration of children’s play as a powerful cultural force. Drawing on ethnographic research and vivid travel writing, the author journeys to the Midlands region of England to observe three remarkable play-based programs: the Maker{Futures} Mobile Makerspace, the Pitsmoor Adventure Playground, and the GLUE Collective. She captures the voices of playworkers, teachers, and artists and documents the ingenuity of children turning objects into tools of imagination and change.At a moment when children’s opportunities for material play are shrinking, this book confronts urgent questions: Who gets to play? Who is left out? The work resonates with UNICEF’s recent call to address inequality, climate pressures, and technological shifts shaping children’s lives today. By centring under-resourced communities, gender equity, and cultural representation, this volume reframes play as both a process of making and unmaking the world—an act of resilience, creativity, and collective transformation.This book will appeal to scholars and students in childhood studies, play studies, education, and cultural anthropology, as well as practitioners, teachers, policymakers, and all who are committed to protecting children’s right to play. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0511_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805118015 06 15 9781805118022 06 15 9781805118039 06 15 9781805118053 06 15 9781805118046 06 15 9781805118978 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0511.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0511 99 04 urn:uuid:6a925328-3ee3-430c-9efd-874369445548 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6a925328-3ee3-430c-9efd-874369445548 15 9781783747122 06 10.11647/OBP.0170 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Make We Merry More and Less An Anthology of Medieval English Popular Literature 1 A01 Douglas Gray 2 B01 Jane Bliss 01 eng 00 418 03 12 DQ 20 Essays on Medieval English Popular Literature 10 LCO017000 04 PR275.P65 20 anthology 12 CFP 10 LCO009000 12 DSBB 20 popular medieval literature 20 twelfth century 20 literary and popular culture 20 songs 20 drama 20 ballads 20 Douglas Gray 20 Jane Bliss 20 medieval studies 20 medievalism 01 06 03 00 Conceived as a companion volume to the well-received Simple Forms: Essays on Medieval English Popular Literature (2015), Make We Merry More and Less is a comprehensive anthology of popular medieval literature from the twelfth century onwards. Uniquely, the book is divided by genre, allowing readers to make connections between texts usually presented individually.This anthology offers a fruitful exploration of the boundary between literary and popular culture, and showcases an impressive breadth of literature, including songs, drama, and ballads. Familiar texts such as the visions of Margery Kempe and the Paston family letters are featured alongside lesser-known works, often oral. This striking diversity extends to the language: the anthology includes Scottish literature and original translations of Latin and French texts.The illuminating introduction offers essential information that will enhance the reader’s enjoyment of the chosen texts. Each of the chapters is accompanied by a clear summary explaining the particular delights of the literature selected and the rationale behind the choices made. An invaluable resource to gain an in-depth understanding of the culture of the period, this is essential reading for any student or scholar of medieval English literature, and for anyone interested in folklore or popular material of the time.The book was left unfinished at Gray's death; it is here edited by Jane Bliss. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0170_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Faculty of English, University of Oxford Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747108 06 15 9781783747115 06 15 9781783747122 06 15 9781800645851 06 15 9781783747153 06 15 9781783747139 06 15 9781783747146 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0170 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0170.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:481a87ba-d5ad-481b-9e95-f578757d50c3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:481a87ba-d5ad-481b-9e95-f578757d50c3 15 9781800643222 06 10.11647/OBP.0275 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Making the Void Fruitful Yeats as Spiritual Seeker and Petrarchan Lover 1 A01 Patrick J.

Keane questions established understandings of the Irish poet’s long fascination with the occult: a fixation that repelled literary contemporaries T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, but which enhanced Yeats’s vision of life and death.Through close reading of selected poems, the first section of Making the Void Fruitful assesses Yeats’s spiritualised treatment of corporeal themes, exploring sex and eroticism as the expression of a duality inherent to his ontological and supernatural convictions. The power-producing tension in Yeats’s work is not only intellectual but emotional. At its vital centre is his Muse: the beautiful political firebrand, Maud Gonne, whose activist Republican politics he considered his one real rival. Through close engagement with the poems and plays she inspired, the second section explores Yeats’s complex relationship with Maud, an obsessive and unrequited love which he sublimated and transformed into the greatest body of Muse poetry since Petrarch, in whose tradition of spiritualized eroticism Yeats, perhaps the last of the great Romantics, was consciously writing.Shaped by the conviction that no modern poet exceeded Yeats in animating the enduring themes of love and spirituality through poetry, this book emphasises the influence, of Blake, Nietzsche, and John Donne, on what Yeats called ‘the thinking of the body’. Grounded firmly in the textual materiality of Yeats’s oeuvre, this book will be of interest to researchers and students of W.B. Yeats, as well as to those in the fields of Anglophone literatures and cultures, and philosophy. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0275_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800643208 06 15 9781800643215 06 15 9781800643222 06 15 9781800646629 06 15 9781800643253 06 15 9781800643239 06 15 9781800643246 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0275.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0275 99 04 urn:uuid:00ad5bb9-299a-406a-89dd-dcaf9d436b50 03 01 01 urn:uuid:00ad5bb9-299a-406a-89dd-dcaf9d436b50 15 9781800640979 06 10.11647/OBP.0236 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Making up Numbers A History of Invention in Mathematics 1 A01 Ekkehard Kopp 01 eng 00 280 03 10 MAT000000 20 mathematical ideas 12 PB 04 QA21 20 development of numbers 10 MAT015000 12 YQM 20 development number systems 10 MAT027000 12 PBK 20 negative numbers 20 irrationals numbers 20 complex numbers 01 06 03 00 Making up Numbers: A History of Invention in Mathematics offers a detailed but accessible account of a wide range of mathematical ideas. Starting with elementary concepts, it leads the reader towards aspects of current mathematical research.The book explains how conceptual hurdles in the development of numbers and number systems were overcome in the course of history, from Babylon to Classical Greece, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, and so to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The narrative moves from the Pythagorean insistence on positive multiples to the gradual acceptance of negative numbers, irrationals and complex numbers as essential tools in quantitative analysis.Within this chronological framework, chapters are organised thematically, covering a variety of topics and contexts: writing and solving equations, geometric construction, coordinates and complex numbers, perceptions of ‘infinity’ and its permissible uses in mathematics, number systems, and evolving views of the role of axioms.Through this approach, the author demonstrates that changes in our understanding of numbers have often relied on the breaking of long-held conventions to make way for new inventions at once providing greater clarity and widening mathematical horizons. Viewed from this historical perspective, mathematical abstraction emerges as neither mysterious nor immutable, but as a contingent, developing human activity.Making up Numbers will be of great interest to undergraduate and A-level students of mathematics, as well as secondary school teachers of the subject. In virtue of its detailed treatment of mathematical ideas, it will be of value to anyone seeking to learn more about the development of the subject. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0236_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781800640955 06 15 9781800640962 06 15 9781800640979 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0236.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0236 99 04 urn:uuid:e8709199-42c9-48b2-b127-1ffc6b1b7a6f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e8709199-42c9-48b2-b127-1ffc6b1b7a6f 15 9781783748839 06 10.11647/OBP.0215 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Margery Spring Rice Pioneer of Women’s Health in the Early Twentieth Century 1 A01 Lucy Pollard 01 eng 00 220 03 12 BG 10 BIO000000 04 HQ1595.S65 20 Margery Spring Rice 12 BGT 10 BIO022000 20 women’s health 10 BIO017000 20 family planning 12 MBNH4 10 BIO032000 20 suffragist 20 North Kensington birth control clinic 20 birth control 20 biography 20 letters 20 diaries 20 family tree 01 06 03 00 This book vividly presents the story of Margery Spring Rice, an instrumental figure in the movements of women’s health and family planning in the first half of the twentieth century. Margery Spring Rice, née Garrett, was born into a family of formidable female trailblazers – niece of physician and suffragist Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, and of Millicent Fawcett, a leading suffragist and campaigner for equal rights for women. Margery Spring Rice continued this legacy with her co-founding of the North Kensington birth control clinic in 1924, three years after Marie Stopes founded the first clinic in Britain.Engaging and accessible, this biography weaves together Spring Rice’s personal and professional lives, adopting a chronological approach which highlights how the one impacted the other. Her life unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of the early twentieth century – a period which sees the entry of women into higher education, and the upheaval and societal upshots of two world wars. Within this context, Spring Rice emerges as a dynamic figure who dedicated her life to social causes, and whose actions time and again bear out her habitual belief that, contrary to the Shakespearian dictum, ‘valour is the better part of discretion’.This is the first biography of Margery Spring Rice, drawing extensively on letters, diaries and other archival material, and equipping the text with family trees and photographs. It will be of great interest to a range of social historians, especially those researching the birth control movement; female friendships, female philanthropists, and feminist activism in the twentieth century; and the history of medicine and public health. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0215_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748815 06 15 9781783748822 06 15 9781783748839 06 15 9781800646209 06 15 9781783748860 06 15 9781783748846 06 15 9781783748853 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0215.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0215 99 04 urn:uuid:856d73cf-af87-4a0e-a56f-d7f43d9240ba 03 01 01 urn:uuid:856d73cf-af87-4a0e-a56f-d7f43d9240ba 15 9781783749836 06 10.11647/OBP.0217 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Maria Stuart 1 Z01 Flora Kimmich 2 Z01 21 0000-0002-4928-4513 Roger Paulin 01 eng 01 ger 00 140 03 12 DSG 20 Friedrich Schiller 10 LIT004170 04 PN2093 12 AN 20 play 20 translation 20 Maria Stuart 20 Germany 20 succession 20 classical tragedy 20 historic drama 20 Roger Paulin 20 Flora Kimmich 01 06 03 00 Maria Stuart, described as Schiller’s most perfect play, is a finely balanced, inventive account of the last day of the captive Queen of Scotland, caught up in a great contest for the throne of England after the death of Henry VIII and over the question of England’s religious confession. Hope for and doubt about Mary’s deliverance grow in the first two acts, given to the Scottish and the English queen respectively, reach crisis at the center of the play, where the two queens meet in a famous scene in a castle park, and die away in acts four and five, as the action advances to its inevitable end. The play is at once classical tragedy of great fineness, costume drama of the highest order—a spectacle on the stage—and one of the great moments in the long tradition of classical rhetoric, as Elizabeth’s ministers argue for and against execution of a royal prisoner.Flora Kimmich’s new translation carefully preserves the spirit of the original: the pathos and passion of Mary in captivity, the high seriousness of Elizabeth’s ministers in council, and the robust comedy of that queen’s untidy private life. Notes to the text identify the many historical figures who appear in the text, describe the political setting of the action, and draw attention to the structure of the play.Roger Paulin’s introduction discusses the many threads of the conflict in Maria Stuart and enriches our understanding of this much-loved, much-produced play.Maria Stuart is the last of a series of five new translations of Schiller’s major plays, accompanied by notes to the text and an authoritative introduction. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0217_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783749812 06 15 9781783749829 06 15 9781783749836 06 15 9781800646223 06 15 9781783749867 06 15 9781783749843 06 15 9781783749850 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0217.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0217 99 04 urn:uuid:98af0a55-8014-499e-8e51-6b0fa74ae1d7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:98af0a55-8014-499e-8e51-6b0fa74ae1d7 15 9781800643406 06 10.11647/OBP.0278 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Mary Warnock Ethics, Education and Public Policy in Post-War Britain 1 A01 Philip Graham 01 eng 00 362 03 04 B1674.W3354 12 BG 10 BIO000000 20 ethics 10 BIO022000 20 cultural history 12 HP 20 Education 12 PDX 10 SCI075000 12 BGT 10 BIO032000 20 Social Sciences 20 Biography 12 JN 10 SOC026040 12 JNF 12 YQJ 01 06 03 00 This biography illuminates the life and thought of Baroness Mary Warnock, whose active years spanned the second half of the twentieth century, a period during which opportunities for middle-class women rapidly and vastly improved.Warnock was described as ‘probably the most celebrated philosopher in Britain.’ She began her career as an Oxford University philosophy don and went on to become headmistress of an independent girls’ school. Warnock subsequently chaired two select committees which produced reports of lasting significance, first to children with special needs, and second to childless couples. She then became Mistress of Girton College, Cambridge, and an active member of the House of Lords. Alongside these positions, Warnock wrote twenty books, ranging from the fields of philosophy to education and medical ethics. Her ideas were largely in tune with contemporary progressive thinking but late in life Warnock’s extreme championing of assisted dying for older people won her enemies even among progressives.This authorised biography, written by a friend of the subject, will be of great value to the general reader with an interest in philosophy, ethics, twentieth-century cultural history, and the changing role of women from the 1950s onwards. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0278_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800643383 06 15 9781800643390 06 15 9781800643406 06 15 9781800646643 06 15 9781800643437 06 15 9781800643413 06 15 9781800643420 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0278 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0278.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:7b9888c3-ccb1-41a2-aff9-a2103e688ae3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7b9888c3-ccb1-41a2-aff9-a2103e688ae3 15 9781909254565 06 10.11647/OBP.0051 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Measuring the Master Race Physical Anthropology in Norway 1890-1945 1 A01 Jon Røyne Kyllingstad 01 eng 01 nor 00 276 03 04 GN50.45.N6 12 JHMP 20 Race 10 SOC002020 12 1DN 10 HIS044000 20 ideology 12 JPFQ 20 Nazism 10 SOC031000 20 Norwegian physical anthropology 20 Scandinavia 20 nationalism 20 national identity 01 06 03 00 The notion of a superior ‘Germanic’ or ‘Nordic’ race was a central theme in the ideology of the Nazis. But it was also a commonly accepted idea in the early twentieth century, and an actual scientific concept originating from anthropological research on the physical characteristics of Europeans. The Scandinavian Peninsula was considered to be the historical cradle and the core area of this ‘master race’.This book investigates the role played by Scandinavian scholars in inventing this so-called superior race, and discusses how this concept put its stamp on Norwegian physical anthropology, prehistory, national identity, and on the Norwegian eugenics movement. It also explores the decline and scientific disputation of these ideas in the 1930s as they came to be associated with the ‘genetic cleansing’ of Nazi Germany.This is the first comprehensive study on Norwegian physical anthropology, and its findings shed new light on current political and scientific debates about race across the globe. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0051_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Norsk Teknisk Museum Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781909254541 06 15 9781909254558 06 15 9781909254565 06 15 9781800644786 06 15 9781909254572 06 15 9781909254589 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0051.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0051 99 04 urn:uuid:b56b58e5-a98c-4eb8-826d-b3a7e515eef8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b56b58e5-a98c-4eb8-826d-b3a7e515eef8 15 9781800640795 06 10.11647/OBP.0233 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Mendl Mann’s 'The Fall of Berlin' 1 Z01 21 0000-0003-4522-9936 Maurice Wolfthal 01 eng 01 yid 00 248 03 20 autobiography 10 HIS022000 12 JFC 20 fiction 12 HBLW 10 HIS010010 10 HIS037070 20 Jewish 12 JFSR1 12 1DFG 20 Red Army 20 Poland 20 Nazis 20 USSR 20 Yiddish 20 anti-Semitism 20 Berlin 20 patriotism 20 Stalinism 20 Second World War 20 Jewish history 20 World War II 20 Yiddish language 20 Eastern Europe 01 06 03 00 Mendl Mann’s autobiographical novel The Fall of Berlin tells the painful yet compelling story of life as a Jewish soldier in the Red Army. Menakhem Isaacovich is a Polish Jew who, after fleeing the Nazis, finds refuge in the USSR. Translated into English from the original Yiddish by Maurice Wolfthal, the narrative follows Menakhem as he fights on the front line in Stalin’s Red Army against Hitler and the Nazis who are destroying his homeland of Poland and exterminating the Jews.<break/> <break/>Menakhem encounters anti-Semitism on various occasions throughout the novel, and struggles to comprehend how seemingly normal people could hold such appalling views. As Mann writes, it is odd that "vicious, insidious anti-Semitism could reside in a person with elevated feelings, an average person, a decent person”. The Fall of Berlin is both a striking and timelylook at the struggle that many Jewish soldiers faced.An affecting and unique book, which eloquently explores a variety of themes – such as anti-Semitism, patriotism, Stalinism and life as a Jewish soldier in the Second World War – this is essential reading for anyone interested in the Yiddish language, Jewish history, and the history of World War II. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0233_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781800640771 06 15 9781800640788 06 15 9781800640795 06 15 9781800646360 06 15 9781800640825 06 15 9781800640801 06 15 9781800640818 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0233.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0233 99 04 urn:uuid:6010b178-c36c-4f77-8e10-ca850eba2d55 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6010b178-c36c-4f77-8e10-ca850eba2d55 15 9781783742004 06 10.11647/OBP.0087 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint An Introduction to Moral Philosophy 1 A01 Catherine Wilson 01 eng 00 132 03 04 BJ1012 12 HP 20 Metaethics 10 PHI000000 12 HPQ 20 moral philosophy 10 PHI005000 20 moral judgement 20 moral knowledge 01 06 03 00 Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint addresses in a novel format the major topics and themes of contemporary metaethics, the study of the analysis of moral thought and judgement. Metathetics is less concerned with what practices are right or wrong than with what we mean by ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’Looking at a wide spectrum of topics including moral language, realism and anti-realism, reasons and motives, relativism, and moral progress, this book engages students and general readers in order to enhance their understanding of morality and moral discourse as cultural practices. Catherine Wilson innovatively employs a first-person narrator to report step-by-step an individual’s reflections, beginning from a position of radical scepticism, on the possibility of objective moral knowledge. The reader is invited to follow along with this reasoning, and to challenge or agree with each major point. Incrementally, the narrator is led to certain definite conclusions about ‘oughts’ and norms in connection with self-interest, prudence, social norms, and finally morality. Scepticism is overcome, and the narrator arrives at a good understanding of how moral knowledge and moral progress are possible, though frequently long in coming. Accessibly written, Metaethics from a First Person Standpoint presupposes no prior training in philosophy and is a must-read for philosophers, students and general readers interested in gaining a better understanding of morality as a personal philosophical quest. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0087_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783741984 06 15 9781783741991 06 15 9781783742004 06 15 9781800645073 06 15 9781783746354 06 15 9781783742011 06 15 9781783742028 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0087.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0087 99 04 urn:uuid:40128893-8817-408f-9df0-21fc5ebc6221 03 01 01 urn:uuid:40128893-8817-408f-9df0-21fc5ebc6221 15 9781805117452 06 10.11647/OBP.0499 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 More with More: Investing in the Energy Transition 2025 European Public Investment Outlook 1 B01 21 0000-0001-9972-716X Floriana Cerniglia 2 B01 21 0000-0003-0121-4329 Francesco Saraceno 01 eng 00 272 03 10 BUS070040 20 Energy transition investing 04 HD9502.E82 93 KFFM 10 BUS072000 93 KNBT 20 Low‑carbon infrastructure finance 10 BUS094000 20 Sustainable energy investments 93 THY 93 KFFS 20 Renewable energy financing 20 Green investment strategies 93 KCVG 20 Decarbonisation capital allocation 01 06 03 00 This outlook offers a timely and insightful exploration of Europe’s energy transition, a process that lies at the heart of today’s environmental, economic, and political debates. It examines the diverse commitments undertaken by European countries as they navigate the challenges of decarbonization and the shift to sustainable energy systems. By analyzing both the policy frameworks and the concrete instruments adopted to reach ambitious climate and energy goals, the book sheds light on the strategies shaping the continent’s future.A particular emphasis is placed on the role of public investment, highlighting how state action can catalyze innovation, support infrastructure, and bridge gaps where market forces alone may fall short. Through this lens, the volume not only evaluates existing practices but also considers the broader implications for governance, equity, and long-term resilience.Written with clarity and rigor, the outlook will be of interest to policymakers, scholars, and practitioners seeking to understand the dynamics of Europe’s green transition. It invites readers to consider the balance between national priorities and collective European objectives, offering valuable insights into how commitments translate into action—and how public investment can be a decisive lever for change. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0499_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805117438 06 15 9781805117445 06 15 9781805117452 06 15 9781805117476 06 15 9781805117469 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0499.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0499 99 04 urn:uuid:2ac39072-546d-4747-8d07-fd7a35e3f453 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2ac39072-546d-4747-8d07-fd7a35e3f453 15 9781783740994 06 10.11647/OBP.0065 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Mr. Emerson's Revolution 1 B01 Jean McClure Mudge 01 eng 00 490 03 12 DS 10 LIT004020 04 PS1631 20 Ralph Waldo Emerson 20 abolition 12 BG 10 HIS036040 10 BIO000000 12 HB 20 women's rights 12 HPQ 10 PHI005000 20 United States 20 emancipation 20 social change 01 06 03 00 This volume traces the life, thought and work of Ralph Waldo Emerson, a giant of American intellectual history, whose transforming ideas greatly strengthened the two leading reform issues of his day: abolition and women’s rights. A broad and deep, yet cautious revolutionary, he spoke about a spectrum of inner and outer realities—personal, philosophical, theological and cultural—all of which gave his mid-career turn to political and social issues their immediate and lasting power.<break/>This multi-authored study frankly explores Emerson's private prejudices against blacks and women while he also publicly championed their causes. Such a juxtaposition freshly charts the evolution of Emerson's slow but steady application of his early neo-idealism to emancipating blacks and freeing women from social bondage. His shift from philosopher to active reformer had lasting effects not only in America but also abroad.<break/>In the U.S. Emerson influenced such diverse figures as Thoreau, Whitman, Dickinson and William James and in Europe Mickiewicz, Wilde, Kipling, Nietzsche, and Camus in Europe as well as many leading followers in India and Japan. The book includes over 170 illustrations, among them eight custom-made maps of Emerson's haunts and wide-ranging lecture itineraries as well as a new four-part chronology of his life placed alongside both national and international events as well as major inventions.<break/>Mr. Emerson's Revolution provides essential reading for students and teachers of American intellectual history, the abolitionist and women’s rights movement―and for anyone interested in the nineteenth-century roots of these seismic social changes. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0065_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Ralph Waldo Emerson Society Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783740970 06 15 9781783740987 06 15 9781783740994 06 15 9781800644915 06 15 9781783746422 06 15 9781783741007 06 15 9781783741014 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0065.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0065 99 04 urn:uuid:94c92bfe-5893-4c4d-95b0-9ea2d380b030 03 01 01 urn:uuid:94c92bfe-5893-4c4d-95b0-9ea2d380b030 15 9781805113041 06 10.11647/OBP.0403 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Music and Spirituality Theological Approaches, Empirical Methods, and Christian Worship 1 B01 21 0000-0002-7043-3253 George Corbett 2 B01 21 0000-0003-2279-9274 Sarah Moerman 01 eng 00 478 03 12 AVA 93 AVLK 10 MUS048000 20 Spiritual 12 AVGD 93 AVLA 10 MUS048010 20 Western culture 93 AVA 20 Christianity 12 HRCR 10 REL055000 20 Musicology 93 QRVJ1 20 Ethnomusicology 20 Neuroscience 01 06 03 00 The composer Sir James MacMillan has often referred to music as ‘the most spiritual of the arts’, and for many people, regardless of religious affiliation, this rings true. In listening to music, we are drawn to dimensions of human experience beyond the material. This collection brings together leading scholars from various disciplines – including Christian theology, musicology, and psychology and neuroscience – to interrogate the intimate relationship between music and spirituality. Organised in three parts – theological approaches, empirical methods, and Christian worship – the volume covers a vibrant array of topics. From examining how the Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped the profile of contemporary worship to investigating the spiritual effects of bodily positioning in liturgical spaces, from exploring spiritual experience through heart and breathing activity, electrodermal activity, and saliva samples to comparing the spiritual experiences of British Methodists with Welsh sporting fans, these essays attend to the lived reality of people’s perceived spiritual experiences through music.This collection will be an invaluable resource for scholars in the growing field of Christian theology and music, and will serve as a cornerstone for future research at the intersection of theology, music, and psychology and neuroscience. It will also appeal to anyone curious about why music consistently, across cultures, occupies a unique space bridging the material and spiritual dimensions of human life. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0403_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of St Andrews 01 programname University of St Andrews’ Institutional Open Access Fund 16 Templeton Religion Trust Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113027 06 15 9781805113034 06 15 9781805113041 06 15 9781805113072 06 15 9781805113058 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0403.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0403 99 04 urn:uuid:8b44755b-1c10-45be-8b87-9266d1df59fc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8b44755b-1c10-45be-8b87-9266d1df59fc 15 9781800643840 06 10.11647/OBP.0374 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Music and the Making of Modern Japan Joining the Global Concert 1 A01 21 0000-0001-6512-9970 Margaret Mehl 01 eng 00 470 03 12 1FPJ 93 AVLA 20 Japan in the 1870s-early 1920s 10 MUS020000 93 AGA 12 HBJF 10 MUS023000 20 Western powers 93 ABA 12 AVA 10 MUS038000 20 Music 12 AVH 93 AVM 20 Modernization 10 POL038000 20 Globalization 12 HBTB 10 SOC026000 20 Traditional Japanese music 01 06 03 00 Japan was the first non-Western nation to compete with the Western powers at their own game. The country’s rise to a major player on the stage of Western music has been equally spectacular. The connection between these two developments, however, has never been explored.How did making music make Japan modern? How did Japan make music that originated in Europe its own? And what happened to Japan’s traditional music in the process? Music and the Making of Modern Japan answers these questions. Discussing musical modernization in the context of globalization and nation-building, Margaret Mehl argues that, far from being a side-show, music was part of the action on centre stage. Making music became an important vehicle for empowering the people of Japan to join in the shaping of the modern world. In only fifty years, from the 1870s to the early 1920s, Japanese people laid the foundations for the country’s post-war rise as a musical as well as an economic power. Meanwhile, new types of popular song, fuelled by the growing global record industry, successfully blended inspiration from the West with musical characteristics perceived as Japanese. Music and the Making of Modern Japan represents a fresh contribution to historical research on making music as a major cultural, social, and political force. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0374_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800642522 06 15 9781800648395 06 15 9781800643840 06 15 9781800649279 06 15 9781800647053 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0374.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0374 99 04 urn:uuid:422d4720-b975-4892-afb4-b4972109ef0a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:422d4720-b975-4892-afb4-b4972109ef0a 15 9781800647374 06 10.11647/OBP.0301 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Music in Evolution and Evolution in Music 1 A01 Steven Jan 01 eng 00 806 03 12 AVA 20 evolutionary theory 10 MUS006000 12 JHMC 10 MUS020000 20 music 12 JMH 10 MUS007000 20 relationships between music and evolutionary thought 10 MUS015000 12 PSAJ 10 SCI027000 01 06 03 00 Music in Evolution and Evolution in Music by Steven Jan is a comprehensive account of the relationships between evolutionary theory and music. Examining the ‘evolutionary algorithm’ that drives biological and musical-cultural evolution, the book provides a distinctive commentary on how musicality and music can shed light on our understanding of Darwin’s famous theory, and vice-versa. Comprised of seven chapters, with several musical examples, figures and definitions of terms, this original and accessible book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the relationships between music and evolutionary thought. Jan guides the reader through key evolutionary ideas and the development of human musicality, before exploring cultural evolution, evolutionary ideas in musical scholarship, animal vocalisations, music generated through technology, and the nature of consciousness as an evolutionary phenomenon.A unique examination of how evolutionary thought intersects with music, Music in Evolution and Evolution in Music is essential to our understanding of how and why music arose in our species and why it is such a significant presence in our lives. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0301_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647350 06 15 9781800647367 06 15 9781800647374 06 15 9781800647411 06 15 9781800647404 06 15 9781800647381 06 15 9781800647398 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0301.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0301 99 04 urn:uuid:5dd58306-0294-42b4-9f85-8c326f391300 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5dd58306-0294-42b4-9f85-8c326f391300 15 9781805114550 06 10.11647/OBP.0437 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Music, Religion and Politics at Worcester Cathedral, 680-1950 1 A01 Richard Newsholme 01 eng 00 320 03 93 AVM 10 MUS020000 20 Worcester Cathedral 93 AVLK 20 British Church History 10 REL015000 20 British polyphony 93 QRVJ1 10 REL055020 20 Music history 93 QRMB31 10 REL003000 10 HIS015000 20 Lady Chapel choirs 20 monastic ritual 20 liturgy and architecture 20 cathedral priories 20 cathedral choirs 01 06 03 00 This book provides a comprehensive history of music and liturgy at Worcester Cathedral, from its foundation in the seventh century to the mid-20th century. The author delves into how political shifts, public opinion, and national trends have influenced changes in the cathedral's practices over time, while also highlighting the distinct local dynamics at play.The book captures the fluctuating significance of liturgy and music across different eras, from the strict, ritualistic practices of Benedictine monks to the rejection of ceremonial traditions by Interregnum Non-Conformists. It traces how the form of worship evolved in response to the beliefs of church leaders, leading to periods of decline and revival in the cathedral’s musical standards. Notably, the study explores Worcester’s role in the development of British polyphony up to the 14th century and the comforting role of the choir during World War I.With a wealth of surviving Anglo-Saxon charters, medieval liturgical manuscripts, and unique polyphonic fragments, this volume offers rare insights into centuries-old practices. While it focuses on Worcester, the study reflects broader trends in English cathedral history, providing a vital resource for understanding the interplay of music, religion, and politics in the evolution of worship. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0437_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114536 06 15 9781805114543 06 15 9781805114550 06 15 9781805114574 06 15 9781805114567 06 15 9781805118299 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0437.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0437 99 04 urn:uuid:062eccdd-508e-42be-b0db-c1ee9156b5da 03 01 01 urn:uuid:062eccdd-508e-42be-b0db-c1ee9156b5da 15 9781805112563 06 10.11647/OBP.0395 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Navigating Our Way to Solutions in Marine Conservation 1 B01 21 0000-0003-3131-2579 Larry B.

Despite more than thirty years of high-level, global talks on climate change, we are still seeing carbon emissions rise dramatically. This edited volume, comprising leading and emerging scholars and climate activists from around the world, takes a critical look at what has gone wrong and what is to be done to create more decisive action.Composed of twenty-eight essays—a combination of new and republished texts—the anthology is organised around seven main themes: paradigms; what counts?; extraction; dispatches from a climate change frontline country; governance; finance; and action(s). Through this multifaceted approach, the contributors ask pressing questions about how we conceptualise and respond to the climate crisis, providing both ‘big picture’ perspectives and more focussed case studies.This unique and extensive collection will be of great value to environmental and social scientists alike, as well as to the general reader interested in understanding current views on the climate crisis. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0265_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Bath Spa University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800642607 06 15 9781800642614 06 15 9781800642621 06 15 9781800646568 06 15 9781800642652 06 15 9781800642638 06 15 9781800642645 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0265 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0265.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:85330cd5-3962-4026-985a-6342a15b6747 03 01 01 urn:uuid:85330cd5-3962-4026-985a-6342a15b6747 15 9781800647688 06 10.11647/OBP.0306 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Neo-Aramaic and Kurdish Folklore from Northern Iraq A Comparative Anthology with a Sample of Glossed Texts, Volume 1 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2550-9896 Geoffrey Khan 2 A01 21 0000-0002-8531-5524 Masoud Mohammadirad 3 A01 Dorota Molin 4 A01 21 0000-0002-9407-1453 Paul M.

The first volume contains several introductory chapters on language, folkore motifs and narrative style, followed by samples of glossed texts in each language variety. The second volume is the anthology proper, presenting folklore narratives in several distinct varieties of North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic and Northern and Central Kurdish. The stories are accompanied by English translations. The material includes different genres such as folktales, legends, fables and anecdotes, and is organised into seven thematic units. The folkloristic material of these three communities is shared to a large extent. The anthology is, therefore, a testament to the intimate and long-standing relations between these three ethno-religious communities—relations that existed in a multilingual environment centuries before the modern era of nationalism. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0306_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 British Academy 01 programname Heritage, Dignity and Violence 01 grantnumber HDV190229 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647664 06 15 9781800647671 06 15 9781800647688 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0306.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0306 99 04 urn:uuid:1bfc741a-1429-48f9-92a9-048a42bf3563 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1bfc741a-1429-48f9-92a9-048a42bf3563 15 9781800647718 06 10.11647/OBP.0307 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Neo-Aramaic and Kurdish Folklore from Northern Iraq A Comparative Anthology with a Sample of Glossed Texts, Volume 2 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2550-9896 Geoffrey Khan 2 A01 21 0000-0002-8531-5524 Masoud Mohammadirad 3 A01 Dorota Molin 4 A01 21 0000-0002-9407-1453 Paul M.

Neomania contends that these symptoms stem not merely from flawed practices or institutional pressures, but from a deeper cultural pathology—our collective obsession with innovation. This valorization of the new for its own sake has reshaped the scientific enterprise, privileging novelty over reliability and fragmentation over coordination.Drawing on metascience as well as the philosophy and sociology of science, Neomania offers a critical analysis of how this ethos has permeated the norms and institutions of modern science. The book traces its historical emergence, diagnoses its systemic consequences, and articulates a reform agenda centered on coordination, shared research programs, and epistemic integrity—an agenda that goes well beyond the principles of Open Science.Neomania advances a constructive vision for rebuilding science as a coherent and truth-oriented system. Combining philosophical depth with institutional analysis, it addresses students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners concerned with the organization of knowledge production in an era of epistemic crisis. It is both a critique of contemporary scientific culture and a normative proposal for its renewal. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0507_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Eindhoven University of Technology Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805117810 06 15 9781805117827 06 15 9781805117834 06 15 9781805117858 06 15 9781805117841 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0507 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0507.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:703bbdfe-d984-4807-8a80-26a196cfd0f0 03 01 01 urn:uuid:703bbdfe-d984-4807-8a80-26a196cfd0f0 15 9781800641662 06 10.11647/OBP.0250 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 New Perspectives in Biblical and Rabbinic Hebrew 1 B01 Aaron D.

The aim of the conference was to build bridges between various strands of research in the field of Hebrew language studies that rarely meet, namely philologists working on Biblical Hebrew, philologists working on Rabbinic Hebrew and theoretical linguists.This volume is the published outcome of this initiative. It contains peer-reviewed papers in the fields of Biblical and Rabbinic Hebrew that advance the field by the philological investigation of primary sources and the application of cutting-edge linguistic theory. These include contributions by established scholars and by students and early career researchers. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0250_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641648 06 15 9781800641655 06 15 9781800641662 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0250.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0250 99 04 urn:uuid:1e206321-b1a9-4b7e-9b01-cc4d62605b03 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1e206321-b1a9-4b7e-9b01-cc4d62605b03 15 9781805113935 06 10.11647/OBP.0424 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 New Words to Old Tunes Genres and Metrics of Lebanese Zajal Poetry 1 A01 Adnan Haydar 01 eng 00 226 03 93 DSC 20 Lebanese Zajal 10 LIT014000 04 PJ7542.Z3 93 NHG 20 Oral poetry 10 POE013000 93 NHTD 20 Popular songs 10 SOC005000 20 Ethnomusicology 10 HIS026000 20 Cultural Heritage 10 LIT004220 20 Middle East 01 06 03 00 New Words to Old Tunes: Genres and Metrics of Lebanese Zajal Poetry introduces the rich tradition of Lebanese oral poetry, offering an in-depth study and analysis of its metrics and genres. It presents a novel framework for the proper scansion of meters and emphasises the previously overlooked roles of musical and poetic stress. It details nearly twenty zajal genres, including popular songs that use zajal metrics, and integrates musical notations and web-streamed audio links to enrich the reader’s experience.By presenting both theoretical analysis and practical applications, the book not only contributes to the academic study of Lebanese and Arab oral traditions but also supports broader efforts to preserve and disseminate this cultural heritage through digital humanities. While previous works have been largely descriptive or focused on specific poets, this book provides a detailed analytical approach to zajal metrics and their musical dimensions.This rigorous and comprehensive study will be of interest to scholars working on oral traditions, folklore studies, ethnomusicology, cultural studies, oral-formulaic poetry traditions, throughout the Middle East and beyond. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0424_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Arkansas System Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805113911 06 15 9781805113928 06 15 9781805113935 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0424.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0424 99 04 urn:uuid:ebc98c6e-bec5-4869-b5c9-c1162fd00710 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ebc98c6e-bec5-4869-b5c9-c1162fd00710 15 9781800649477 06 10.11647/OBP.0334 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 No Life Without You Refugee Love Letters from the 1930s 1 B01 Franklin Felsenstein 2 Z01 Rachel Pistol 01 eng 00 644 03 04 DS134.4 10 HIS022000 12 JFSR1 93 NHTB 20 Personal correspondence 10 HIS027100 12 JPFQ 93 NHWR7 20 Refugees 12 JFFD 93 JPHX 10 POL042030 20 World War 2 20 1930s Germany 12 BJ 93 DND 10 LCO011000 12 BGH 10 BIO037000 93 DNC 20 Jewish persecution 10 BIO026000 20 England 10 SOC066000 01 06 03 00 The letters and journals of Ernst Moritz and Vera Hirsch Felsenstein, two German Jewish refugees caught in the tumultuous years leading to the Second World War, form the core of this book. Abridged in English from the original German, the correspondence and diaries have been expertly compiled and annotated by their only son who preserves his parents’ love story in their own words. Their letters, written from Germany, England, Russia, and Palestine capture their desperate efforts to save themselves and their family, friends and businesses from the fascist tyranny. The book begins by contextualizing the early lives of Moritz and Vera.Because the letters are written to each other almost daily, they are incredibly immediate. Most centrally, the letters recount an astonishing love story, sensual in its intimate detail, and full of dramatic pathos in revealing the anxieties of being apart as the Nazi threat unfolds and broadens. It is told through the voices of two exceptionally articulate letter writers.This volume offers insights into the moral and psychological dilemmas faced by German Jews as a targeted community. It affords a unique appreciation of the impact of historical and socio-political upheavals on the lives of a persecuted minority.A scholarly introduction by Rachel Pistol draws out the main themes raised by this correspondence, observing its relevance to contemporary debates about migration and political authority. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0334_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800649453 06 15 9781800649460 06 15 9781800649477 06 15 9781800649514 06 15 9781800649484 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0334.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0334 99 04 urn:uuid:81fd0c37-9aa1-4e3d-ae06-1d52e2c87d86 03 01 01 urn:uuid:81fd0c37-9aa1-4e3d-ae06-1d52e2c87d86 15 9781783748655 06 10.11647/OBP.0195 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Non-communicable Disease Prevention Best Buys, Wasted Buys and Contestable Buys 1 B01 Wanrudee Isaranuwatchai 2 B01 21 0000-0003-0951-9020 Rachel A.

Each day NCDs cause more than 100,000 deaths, 80% of which occur in low- and middle-income countries. NCDs, however, are largely preventable, and a great deal of technical knowledge exists about how to prevent and manage them. Why, then, have we, as a global community, not been more successful at reducing this NCD burden? Does a universal problem not have a universal solution?Created by an international consortium of experts, this informative and accessible book provides practical guidelines, key learning points, and dynamic, real-world case studies to aid NCD program managers, policy officers and decision-makers in low- and middle-income countries, so that they can assess interventions for the prevention and control of NCDs.The book was commissioned by the Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC), an annual international conference centred on policy of global significance related to public health. NCD Prevention: Best Buys, Wasted Buys and Contestable Buys emphasises the importance of context in NCD control and prevention, arguing that the success of an intervention lies in an ability to respond to local needs and environments. The book comprises ten chapters, which collectively explore the reasons behind, and strategies for, preventing and managing the NCD burden. It spans key themes such as political economy, the transferability of economic evidence, the role of cross-sectoral policies, the importance of deliberative processes, and health technology assessment.This book is written for the benefit of the global health community, and is primarily targeted at those individuals who are involved in NCD programs. This book will also be of interest to NCD champions, policy advocates, and educators spearheading the movement for increased visiblity of NCDs. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0195_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783748631 06 15 9781783748648 06 15 9781783748655 06 15 9781800646063 06 15 9781783748686 06 15 9781783748662 06 15 9781783748679 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0195 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0195.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:76ca6d0b-6539-484b-a2a7-d872e064fdae 03 01 01 urn:uuid:76ca6d0b-6539-484b-a2a7-d872e064fdae 15 9781805114604 06 10.11647/OBP.0438 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 No Prices No Games!

C’est une des questions passionnantes explorée dans ce livre par des chercheurs et chercheuses en littérature, musicologie, histoire, études théâtrales, histoire de l’art, architecture et sciences du numérique. Ces Nouvelles études sur les lieux de spectacle de la première modernité proposent de relever un défi épistémologique autour de la notion de virtuel pour la recherche en histoire du théâtre en engageant différents formats de réflexion : entretiens, articles multimédia, brèves de méthodologie, exposition virtuelle. L’objectif de ce volume est de situer le lieu de spectacle aussi largement que possible au carrefour des imaginaires et de ses usages pratiques. Ancrées dans le concret des archives, les contributions s’inscrivent dans la volonté d’un renouveau interprétatif en partant d’hypothèses rendues possibles par des perspectives contemporaines - nouvelles technologies, revalorisation d’objets autrefois jugés mineurs, intérêt pour les approches contrefactuelles. La diversité des objets de recherche, des méthodes et des résultats rassemblés éclaire non seulement l’histoire matérielle des spectacles de la première modernité, mais illustre aussi la nécessité de croiser les approches scientifiques pour renouveler la compréhension et la transmission des pratiques culturelles du passé. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0400_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112846 06 15 9781805112853 06 15 9781805112860 06 15 9781805112891 06 15 9781805112877 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0400.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0400 99 04 urn:uuid:f8a1849c-0be0-4600-9653-83b0dc6de3ae 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f8a1849c-0be0-4600-9653-83b0dc6de3ae 15 9781909254725 06 10.11647/OBP.0036 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 On History Introduction to World History (1831); Opening Address at the Faculty of Letters, 9 January 1834; Preface to History of France (1869) 1 A01 Jules Michelet 2 Z01 Lionel Gossman 3 Z01 Edward K.

The first two are available here for the first time in English translation. The third, the Preface to the 1869 edition of the Histoire de France, originally published in its first English translation by Edward K. Kaplan in his Michelet’s Poetic Vision (1977), has been revised by the translator for this volume. Curated by leading scholars and translators this volume provides essential reading for anybody interested in modern French and European history. One of the greatest Romantic historians and immensely popular during his lifetime, Jules Michelet (1798-1874) fell into disfavour among the positivist historians who came after him and who regarded his work with disdain as "literature." In the 1920s and 30s, however, he began to be rediscovered and rehabilitated by the members of the influential Annales school. The objects of Michelet’s interest—living conditions, popular mentalities, laws and the arts, the historian’s relation to the objects of his study, no less than political history—have since come to occupy a central place in modern historical research. A free online-only supplement contains an essay on Michelet by John Stuart Mill from the Edinburgh Review (January 1844) and several studies of Michelet by Lionel Gossman.

The result is an accomplished reflection on German thought, but also on its rebirth, as Nisbet argues for the relevance of these Enlightenment thinkers for the readers of today.The first half of this collection focuses predominantly on eighteenth-century thought, where names like Lessing, Goethe and Herder, but also Locke and Voltaire, feature. The second has a wider chronological scope, discussing authors such as Winckelmann and Schiller, while branching out from discussions of religion, philosophy and literature to explore the sciences. Issues of biology, early environmentalism, and natural history also form part of this volume. The collection concludes with an examination of changing attitudes towards art in the aftermath of the ‘Age of Goethe.’The essays in this volume have been previously published separately, but are brought together in this collection to present Nisbet’s widely-acclaimed perspectives on this fascinating period of German thought. It will be of interest to scholars and students of the intellectual life of Europe during the Enlightenment, while its engaging and lucid style will also appeal to the general reader.<break/> 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0180_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783747696 06 15 9781783747702 06 15 9781783747719 06 15 9781800645943 06 15 9781783747740 06 15 9781783747726 06 15 9781783747733 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0180.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0180 99 04 urn:uuid:d58f3e57-88c2-44ed-8b57-89cf2790973a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d58f3e57-88c2-44ed-8b57-89cf2790973a 15 9781783742356 06 10.11647/OBP.0094 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Piety in Pieces How Medieval Readers Customized their Manuscripts 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1633-7607 Kathryn M.

Made by highly specialised craftspeople (scribes, illuminators, book binders) with labour-intensive processes using exclusive and sometimes exotic materials (parchment made from dozens or hundreds of skins, inks and paints made from prized minerals, animals and plants), books were expensive and built to last. They usually outlived their owners. Rather than discard them when they were superseded, book owners found ways to update, amend and upcycle books or book parts.These activities accelerated in the fifteenth century. Most manuscripts made before 1390 were bespoke and made for a particular client, but those made after 1390 (especially books of hours) were increasingly made for an open market, in which the producer was not in direct contact with the buyer. Increased efficiency led to more generic products, which owners were motivated to personalise. It also led to more blank parchment in the book, for example, the backs of inserted miniatures and the blanks ends of textual components. Book buyers of the late fourteenth and throughout the fifteenth century still held onto the old connotations of manuscripts—that they were custom-made luxury items—even when the production had become impersonal.Owners consequently purchased books made for an open market and then personalised them, filling in the blank spaces, and even adding more components later. This would give them an affordable product, but one that still smacked of luxury and met their individual needs. They kept older books in circulation by amending them, attached items to generic books to make them more relevant and valuable, and added new prayers with escalating indulgences as the culture of salvation shifted.Rudy considers ways in which book owners adjusted the contents of their books from the simplest (add a marginal note, sew in a curtain) to the most complex (take the book apart, embellish the components with painted decoration, add more quires of parchment). By making sometimes extreme adjustments, book owners kept their books fashionable and emotionally relevant. This study explores the intersection of codicology and human desire.Rudy shows how increased modularisation of book making led to more standardisation but also to more opportunities for personalisation. She asks: What properties did parchment manuscripts have that printed books lacked? What are the interrelationships among technology, efficiency, skill loss and standardisation? 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0094_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Leverhulme Trust 16 University of Edinburgh Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742332 06 15 9781783742349 06 15 9781783742356 06 15 9781800645134 06 15 9781783746224 06 15 9781783742363 06 15 9781783742370 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0094 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0094.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:77577544-6a20-414c-b752-caa819978656 03 01 01 urn:uuid:77577544-6a20-414c-b752-caa819978656 15 9781800640559 06 10.11647/OBP.0229 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Plato's 'Republic' An Introduction 1 A01 Sean McAleer 01 eng 00 348 03 04 B395 12 DB 10 PHI000000 20 Plato 12 HPCA 10 PHI000000 20 philosophy 20 classical philosophy 12 H 10 PHI002000 20 ancient philosophy 12 HP 20 political theory 20 justice 20 history 20 society 01 06 03 00 This book is a lucid and accessible companion to Plato’s Republic, throwing light upon the text’s arguments and main themes, placing them in the wider context of the text’s structure.

How did the pandemic restrict everyday play and how did the pandemic offer new spaces and new content? This unique collection of essays documents the ways in which communities around the world harnessed play within the limiting frame of Covid-19. Folklorists Anna Beresin and Julia Bishop adopt a multidisciplinary approach to this phenomenon, bringing together the insights of a geographically and demographically diverse range of scholars, practitioners, and community activists. The book begins with a focus on social and physical landscapes before moving onto more intimate portraits of play among the old and young, including coronavirus-themed games and novel toy inventions. Finally, the co-authors explore the creative shifts observed in frames of play, ranging from Zoom screens to street walls.This singular chronicle of coronavirus play will be of interest to researchers and students of developmental psychology, childhood studies, education, playwork, sociology, anthropology and folklore, as well as to toy, museum, and landscape designers. This book will also be of help to parents, professional organizations, educators, and urban planners, with a postscript of concrete suggestions advocating for the essential role of play in a post-pandemic world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0326_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648913 06 15 9781800648920 06 15 9781800648937 06 15 9781800648975 06 15 9781800648944 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0326.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0326 99 04 urn:uuid:f5749fc6-fb0d-4195-b984-183f868905e6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f5749fc6-fb0d-4195-b984-183f868905e6 15 9781800642980 06 10.11647/OBP.0271 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Points of Contact The Shared Intellectual History of Vocalisation in Syriac, Arabic, and Hebrew 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1336-9520 Nick Posegay 01 eng 00 390 03 12 CFF 04 PJ5414 10 REL006020 20 Syriac scholars 20 Arabic scholars 12 CFP 10 LAN009010 20 Hebrew scholars 20 Bible 20 Qurʾān 01 06 03 00 In the first few centuries of Islam, Middle Eastern Christians, Muslims, and Jews alike all faced the challenges of preserving their holy texts in the midst of a changing religious landscape. This situation led Syriac, Arabic, and Hebrew scholars to develop new fields of linguistic science in order to better analyse the languages of the Bible and the Qurʾān.Part of this work dealt with the issue of vocalisation in Semitic scripts, which lacked the letters required to precisely record all the vowels in their languages. Semitic scribes thus developed systems of written vocalisation points to better record vowel sounds, first in Syriac, then soon after in Arabic and Hebrew. These new points opened a new field of linguistic analysis, enabling medieval grammarians to more easily examine vowel phonology and explore the relationships between phonetics and orthography.Many aspects of this new field of vocalisation crossed the boundaries between religious communities, first with the spread of ‘relative’ vocalisation systems prior to the eighth century, and later with the terminology created to name the discrete vowels of ‘absolute’ vocalisation systems.This book investigates the theories behind Semitic vocalisation and vowel phonology in the early medieval Middle East, tracing their evolution to identify points of intellectual contact between Syriac, Arabic, and Hebrew linguists before the twelfth century. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0271_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800642966 06 15 9781800642973 06 15 9781800642980 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0271 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0271.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:773bfb1f-565d-4481-af24-ed882c584d64 03 01 01 urn:uuid:773bfb1f-565d-4481-af24-ed882c584d64 15 9781800641341 06 10.11647/OBP.0244 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Politics and the Environment in Eastern Europe 1 B01 21 0000-0003-3516-7786 Eszter Krasznai Kovacs 01 eng 00 342 03 04 DJK51 20 East Europe 10 NAT010000 12 RNKC 10 NAT011000 12 RNKH 20 West Europe 20 Environment 12 RND 10 SCI026000 20 Political ecology 20 Environmentalism 01 06 03 00 Europe remains divided between east and west, with differences caused and worsened by uneven economic and political development. Amid these divisions, the environment has become a key battleground. The condition and sustainability of environmental resources are interlinked with systems of governance and power, from local to EU levels. Key challenges in the eastern European region today include increasingly authoritarian forms of government that threaten the operations and very existence of civil society groups; the importation of locally-contested conservation and environmental programmes that were designed elsewhere; and a resurgence in cultural nationalism that prescribes and normalises exclusionary nation-building myths.This volume draws together essays by early-career academic researchers from across eastern Europe. Engaging with the critical tools of political ecology, its contributors provide a hitherto overlooked perspective on the current fate and reception of ‘environmentalism’ in the region. It asks how emergent forms of environmentalism have been received, how these movements and perspectives have redefined landscapes, and what the subtler effects of new regulatory regimes on communities and environment-dependent livelihoods have been.Arranged in three sections, with case studies from Czechia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Serbia, this collection develops anthropological views on the processes and consequences of the politicisation of the environment. It is valuable reading for human geographers, social and cultural historians, political ecologists, social movement and government scholars, political scientists, and specialists on Europe and European Union politics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0244_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641327 06 15 9781800641334 06 15 9781800641341 06 15 9781800646445 06 15 9781800641372 06 15 9781800641358 06 15 9781800641365 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0244.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0244 99 04 urn:uuid:ac95136f-f19d-44fe-a3a1-621212381cec 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ac95136f-f19d-44fe-a3a1-621212381cec 15 9781783742806 06 10.11647/OBP.0103 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Open Education International Perspectives in Higher Education 1 B01 21 0000-0002-3398-5825 Patrick Blessinger 2 B01 TJ Bliss 01 eng 00 378 03 10 EDU041000 12 JNQ 04 LC5803.C65 20 open education 20 democratisation 12 JNV 12 JNM 20 open technologies 12 JNF 20 open access 20 inclusion 20 social justice 01 06 03 00 This insightful collection of essays explores the ways in which open education can democratise access to education for all.

This volume redresses this gap by putting the discipline of world literature into dialogue with scholarship on orature and folklore. It asks, what does world literature look like if we start from orature, from oral texts and utterances, and from the performances and audiences that support it?Featuring contributions from an international array of scholars, Oral Literary Worlds explores oral traditions from three multilingual regions: the Maghreb, East Africa and South Asia. Essays discuss a variety of vernacular genres, from Swahili tumbuizo to Na’o folk songs, shedding light on less studied forms of vernacular oral production. Collectively, the contributions critique the characterisation of oral traditions as static and pre-modern, and underscore the contemporary relevance of orature to cultural and political discourse.Oral Literary Worlds offers a timely and accessible perspective on world literature through the lens of orature, moving away from traditional hierarchies and dichotomies that have characterised previous scholarship. It aims to open up new ways of thinking through local and transnational textual circulation, literary power dynamics, the interaction between textuality and audiences, and aesthetic philosophies. This volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars of world literature, folklore and performance studies, and will further interest teachers and students of popular culture, literature of dissent and music. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0405_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 European Research Council 01 grantnumber 670876 Cambridge,UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805113119 06 15 9781805113126 06 15 9781805113133 06 15 9781805113157 06 15 9781805113140 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0405.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0405 99 04 urn:uuid:80204dff-c8a9-4155-a539-7ee980102875 03 01 01 urn:uuid:80204dff-c8a9-4155-a539-7ee980102875 15 9781906924720 06 10.11647/OBP.0025 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Oral Literature in Africa 1 A01 Ruth Finnegan 2 Z01 21 0000-0002-2262-0986 Mark Turin 01 eng 00 614 03 12 JHMC 20 Oral literature 04 PL8010 10 SOC002010 20 African culture 12 HBTD 10 LIT004010 12 1H 10 DRA011000 20 Orality 20 Unglue.it 20 Storytelling 20 Limba 20 Sierra Leone 01 06 03 00 Ruth Finnegan’s Oral Literature in Africa was first published in 1970, and since then has been widely praised as one of the most important books in its field.

When new publics consume, manipulate and connect with field recordings and digital cultural archives, their involvement raises important practical and ethical questions. This volume explores the political repercussions of studying marginalised languages; the role of online tools in ensuring responsible access to sensitive cultural materials; and ways of ensuring that when digital documents are created, they are not fossilized as a consequence of being archived. Fieldwork reports by linguists and anthropologists in three continents provide concrete examples of overcoming barriers—ethical, practical and conceptual—in digital documentation projects. Oral Literature in the Digital Age is an essential guide and handbook for ethnographers, field linguists, community activists, curators, archivists, librarians, and all who connect with indigenous communities in order to document and preserve oral traditions. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0032_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2013 06 15 9781909254305 06 15 9781909254312 06 15 9781909254329 06 15 9781800644595 06 15 9781909254336 06 15 9781909254343 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0032 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0032.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:7c258197-4377-449b-a307-bcdf194b6b34 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7c258197-4377-449b-a307-bcdf194b6b34 15 9781805114116 06 10.11647/OBP.0428 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Oral Poetry 1 A01 Ruth Finnegan 01 eng 00 428 03 93 JBGB 10 LIT020000 20 Oral Poetry 04 PN1341 20 Comparative Analysis 93 DSM 10 LIT022000 93 JHB 10 SOC002010 20 Transmission 20 Cultural Context 93 DSA 10 SOC011000 93 JHMC 20 Social Phenomenon 20 Literary Tradition 01 06 03 00 This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the vast field of 'oral poetry,' encompassing everything from American folksongs, contemporary pop songs, and Inuit lyrics, to the heroic epics of Homer, biblical psalms, and epic traditions in Asia and the Pacific. Taking a broad comparative approach, it explores oral poetry across Africa, Asia, Oceania, Europe, and the Americas. Drawing on global research, Ruth Finnegan, the author of the seminal Oral Literature in Africa, sheds light on key debates such as the nature of oral tradition, the relationship between poetry and society, the differences between oral and written forms, and the role of poets in predominantly non-literate contexts. Written from a primarily anthropological and literary perspective, this study contributes to the socio-cultural aspects of verbal art while also engaging with the literary dimensions of poetry which happens at any given moment to be unwritten. Finnegan's clear, non-technical language and extensive use of translated examples make this work accessible to a wide audience, appealing not only to sociologists and anthropologists but also to those with an interest in poetry, in comparative literature, and in global folk traditions. The re-issue of this classic study is now augmented by further illustrations and a newly written Introduction and Conclusion, situating it in the context of the contemporary study of literature. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0428_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114093 06 15 9781805114109 06 15 9781805114116 06 15 9781805114130 06 15 9781805114123 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0428.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0428 99 04 urn:uuid:c1f6b687-3b38-4eca-a643-db96965b13bc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c1f6b687-3b38-4eca-a643-db96965b13bc 15 9781805117605 06 10.11647/OBP.0502 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Ottoman-Era Documents from the Cairo Genizah 1 A01 Jane Hathaway 01 eng 00 510 03 20 Genizah 10 HIS055000 93 QRJ 10 HIS026000 93 NHG 20 Ottoman Empire 93 1QBCS 10 HIS054000 20 Ottoman Egypt 93 CFL 10 HIS049000 20 Mamluk Sultanate 20 Cairo, Damietta, Alexandria 10 HIS001020 20 Jewish communities in Egypt 10 LAN009000 20 Intercommunal networks 20 Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic 01 06 03 00 This groundbreaking volume marks a rare and transformative contribution to studies of the Cairo Genizah, a vast trove of documents generated by Egypt’s Jewish community between the 10th and 19th centuries. While the Cairo Genizah has long yielded extraordinary insights into Jewish history in the greater Mediterranean region, attention has focused overwhelmingly on documents from the ‘classical’ period (11th–13th centuries). Documents from the later period, when Egypt was ruled by the Mamluk Sultanate and the Ottoman Empire, remain woefully underexplored. This book helps to change that, presenting a meticulously curated collection of later Genizah documents that expand the boundaries of current scholarship.Moving beyond the more familiar Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic texts, the author ventures into neglected terrain, offering expert translations of Arabic and Ottoman Turkish texts in Arabic script. The collection is rich with remarkable ‘firsts’, including a Jewish funerary prayer on the reverse of a letter from a military commander, fragments of Sufi poetry, and a primer on Muslim practice. The author uses her training in Ottoman history to analyse and contextualise these documents fully. As a result, each document opens new avenues of inquiry, linking Egypt’s Jewish community to wider intra- and intercommunal networks in the Ottoman Empire and beyond. With a lucid introduction, well-structured chapters, and a thoughtful conclusion, the book illuminates networks of exchange in the early modern Mediterranean. It will appeal to scholars of Jewish history, the Cairo Genizah, the Ottoman Empire, and early modern Egypt; students of Middle Eastern languages and religions; historians of intercommunal relations and trade; and librarians, archivists, and general readers fascinated by Middle Eastern manuscript culture and the vibrant religious and commercial networks of the early modern Mediterranean. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0502_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805117582 06 15 9781805117599 06 15 9781805117605 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0502 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0502.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f47b7d98-56cb-4d8c-a313-0d0e09d06352 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f47b7d98-56cb-4d8c-a313-0d0e09d06352 15 9781783741649 06 10.11647/OBP.0067 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Dickinson College Commentaries 01 01 Ovid, Amores (Book 1) 1 A01 William Turpin 01 eng 00 264 03 12 DB 10 LIT004190 20 Ovid 04 PA6537 20 Amores 12 DCF 10 LIT014000 12 CFP 20 erotic poetry 10 POE008000 10 POE023020 20 Rome 10 FOR016000 20 latin literature 20 commentary 20 vocabulary 20 notes 01 06 03 00 From Catullus to Horace, the tradition of Latin erotic poetry produced works of literature which are still read throughout the world. Ovid’s Amores, written in the first century BC, is arguably the best-known and most popular collection in this tradition. This book contain embedded audio files of the original text read aloud by Aleksandra Szypowska.<break/>Born in 43 BC, Ovid was educated in Rome in preparation for a career in public services before finding his calling as a poet. He may have begun writing his Amores as early as 25 BC. Although influenced by poets such as Catullus, Ovid demonstrates a much greater awareness of the funny side of love than any of his predecessors. The Amores is a collection of romantic poems centered on the poet’s own complicated love life: he is involved with a woman, Corinna, who is sometimes unobtainable, sometimes compliant, and often difficult and domineering. Whether as a literary trope, or perhaps merely as a human response to the problems of love in the real world, the principal focus of these poems is the poet himself, and his failures, foolishness, and delusions.<break/>By the time he was in his forties, Ovid was Rome’s most important living poet; his Metamorphoses, a kaleidoscopic epic poem about love and hatred among the gods and mortals, is one of the most admired and influential books of all time. In AD 8, Ovid was exiled by Augustus to Romania, for reasons that remain obscure. He died there in AD 17.<break/>The Amores were originally published in five books, but reissued around 1 AD in their current three-book form. This edition of the first book of the collection contains the complete Latin text of Book 1, along with commentary, notes and full vocabulary. Both entertaining and thought-provoking, this book will provide an invaluable aid to students of Latin and general readers alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0067_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783741625 06 15 9781783741632 06 15 9781783741649 06 15 9781800644939 06 15 9781783744190 06 15 9781783741656 06 15 9781783741663 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0067 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0067.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a292bc0f-f026-4759-acd0-da081c2b9f1d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a292bc0f-f026-4759-acd0-da081c2b9f1d 15 9781783740840 06 10.11647/OBP.0073 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Classics Textbooks 01 01 Ovid, Metamorphoses, 3.511-733 Latin Text with Introduction, Commentary, Glossary of Terms, Vocabulary Aid and Study Questions 1 A01 Ingo Gildenhard 2 A01 Andrew Zissos 01 eng 00 262 03 12 DB 10 LIT004190 20 Ovid 04 PA6519.M3 12 DCF 10 LIT014000 20 Metamorphoses 12 CFP 20 myth 10 POE008000 10 FOR016000 20 latin literature 20 commentary 20 vocabulary 01 06 03 00 This extract from Ovid's 'Theban History' recounts the confrontation of Pentheus, king of Thebes, with his divine cousin, Bacchus, the god of wine. Notwithstanding the warnings of the seer Tiresias and the cautionary tale of a character Acoetes (perhaps Bacchus in disguise), who tells of how the god once transformed a group of blasphemous sailors into dolphins, Pentheus refuses to acknowledge the divinity of Bacchus or allow his worship at Thebes. Enraged, yet curious to witness the orgiastic rites of the nascent cult, Pentheus conceals himself in a grove on Mt. Cithaeron near the locus of the ceremonies. But in the course of the rites he is spotted by the female participants who rush upon him in a delusional frenzy, his mother and sisters in the vanguard, and tear him limb from limb.<break/>The episode abounds in themes of abiding interest, not least the clash between the authoritarian personality of Pentheus, who embodies 'law and order', masculine prowess, and the martial ethos of his city, and Bacchus, a somewhat effeminate god of orgiastic excess, who revels in the delusional and the deceptive, the transgression of boundaries, and the blurring of gender distinctions.<break/>This course book offers a wide-ranging introduction, the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Gildenhard and Zissos's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at AS and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Ovid's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0073_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783740826 06 15 9781783740833 06 15 9781783740840 06 15 9781800644977 06 15 9781783746262 06 15 9781783740857 06 15 9781783740864 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0073 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0073.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:8e9152ab-df61-4c76-ba56-286466277433 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8e9152ab-df61-4c76-ba56-286466277433 15 9781805118282 06 10.11647/OBP.0516 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Passivisation in Semitic, Iranian, Armenian, and Beyond 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9407-1453 Paul M.

The contributions showcase the passive voice in Semitic, Iranian, Armenian, Greek, and Turkic languages, many of which are endangered, understudied, or confined to diaspora communities and disappearing language islands. Education and cultural expression in these languages remained heavily restricted across parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, underscoring the urgent need for documentation and revitalisation.The chapters explore the rich typological variation of passive voice constructions, examining their typological traits, synchronic microvariation and diachronic developments. Drawing on Siewierska’s definition, the studies investigate processes of agent demotion and patient promotion, reductions in transitivity, and the fuzzy boundaries between passive and other detransitivisation strategies such as middles, anticausatives, statives and light verbs as well as impersonal subjects and agent omission. They also shed light on the impact of text genre, verbal aspect, and language contact on passivisation.By integrating theoretical, typological, historical, and areal perspectives, the volume discusses the internal stability of detransitivisation strategies, their evolution from earlier source constructions, and their position in voice systems more broadly. It raises fundamental questions about whether cross-linguistic tendencies in passives reflect universal patterns or area-specific historical contingencies.This collection thus provides an essential resource for scholars of all theoretical persuasions that are interested in voice and valency and/or in Western Asia’s linguistic diversity, while foregrounding the pressing need to support communities whose linguistic heritage is at risk. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0516_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805118268 06 15 9781805118275 06 15 9781805118282 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0516 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0516.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:25c7dcab-45e2-4625-9d2f-de09ccc01668 03 01 01 urn:uuid:25c7dcab-45e2-4625-9d2f-de09ccc01668 15 9781906924416 06 10.11647/OBP.0014 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 Peace and Democratic Society 1 B01 Amartya Sen 01 eng 00 166 03 20 Amartya Sen 12 JPA 04 JZ5538 10 POL003000 12 JPV 20 peace 10 POL035000 20 democracy 10 SOC051000 20 violence 20 Commonwealth Commission on Respect and Understanding 20 terrorism 20 organised violence 20 war 20 Civil Paths to Peace 20 Commonwealth Secretariat 20 prejudice 20 identity 01 06 03 00 Recent acts of terrorism and the current unrest in the Middle East remind us how important it is to understand the relationship between violence, peace and democracy. In a challenging and insightful essay, Amartya Sen explores ideas around 'organised violence' (such as war, genocide and terrorism) and violence against the individual. Highlighting the inadequacies of some of the widely accepted explanations for violence—including the idea that the world is experiencing a 'clash of civilisations'—Sen makes a plea for a global, multilateral debate on the causes of conflict, and an understanding of the multiple identities of the individuals involved. The introductory essay draws on the findings of the Commonwealth Commission on Respect and Understanding, which was chaired by Sen, and established to promote mutual communication and understanding among all faiths and communities in the Commonwealth. Its timely report, "Civil Paths to Peace", suggests that governments, media and educators—indeed, everyone—must take the time to understand the complexities around violent behaviour and its causes, without prejudging what these might be. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0014_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2011 06 15 9781906924393 06 15 9781906924409 06 15 9781906924416 06 15 9781800644410 06 15 9781906924485 06 15 9781906924492 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0014.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0014 99 04 urn:uuid:2da3938d-b94d-4013-97e9-fc36302abce6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2da3938d-b94d-4013-97e9-fc36302abce6 15 9781805116097 06 10.11647/OBP.0469 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Performance Research Methods Interdisciplinary Methods for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9202-5277 Liesbeth Groot Nibbelink 2 B01 21 0009-0002-5214-9213 Laura Karreman 01 eng 00 478 03 93 JNZ 10 PER011000 20 Performance studies 04 PN1576 93 GP 10 PER003000 20 Research methodologies 93 AT 10 SOC024000 20 Theatre and dance 93 ABA 10 EDU015000 20 Practice-based learning 20 Interdisciplinary approaches 10 LAN004000 01 06 03 00 'Performance Research Methods' is the first comprehensive guide to contemporary methodologies in performance studies, offering a clear and structured overview of the tools currently shaping research in theatre, dance, and performance. While many volumes focus on individual methods, this book uniquely surveys a range of approaches, presenting their historical background, analytical potential, practical application, and interdisciplinary relevance.Designed with clarity and usability in mind, each chapter follows a consistent structure: introduction, contextual framing, practical application, case study demonstration, interdisciplinary expansion, and suggestions for further reading. This format enables readers to compare methods with ease and understand how each can be adapted to real-world research.Developed by scholars actively teaching these methods in graduate and undergraduate programs, this hands-on volume addresses a key gap in the field: the lack of explicit, accessible discussions of performance research methods. Responding to the societal, technological, and ecological contexts of contemporary performance, the book makes visible the knowledge practices that often remain confined to the classroom.Accessible to students, researchers, and arts professionals alike, this volume provides an essential resource for anyone looking to engage critically and creatively with performance in the twenty-first century. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0469_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116073 06 15 9781805116080 06 15 9781805116097 06 15 9781805116110 06 15 9781805116103 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0469 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0469.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:528973a6-7d98-410c-b23f-92787840e491 03 01 01 urn:uuid:528973a6-7d98-410c-b23f-92787840e491 15 9781800646926 06 10.11647/OBP.0295 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Performing Deception Learning, Skill and the Art of Conjuring 1 A01 21 0000-0001-6883-531X Brian Rappert 01 eng 00 228 03 04 BF1623 20 entertainment magic 10 TEC052000 12 UB 04 BF1623 12 JFHX 20 perception 10 TRU004000 20 deception 12 JMB 10 SOC008000 10 ART060000 12 JHMC 20 learning 12 AFKP 12 ASZG 01 06 03 00 In Performing Deception, Brian Rappert reconstructs the practice of entertainment magic by analysing it through the lens of perception, deception and learning, as he goes about studying conjuring himself.Through this novel meditation on reasoning and skill, Rappert elevates magic from the undertaking of mere trickery to an art that offers the basis for rethinking our possibilities for acting in the modern world.Performing Deception covers a wide range of theories in sociology, philosophy, psychology and elsewhere in order to offer a striking assessment of the way secrecy and deception are woven into social interactions, as well as the illusionary and paradoxical status of expertise. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0295_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Exeter Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800646902 06 15 9781800646919 06 15 9781800646926 06 15 9781800646964 06 15 9781800646957 06 15 9781800646933 06 15 9781800646940 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0295.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0295 99 04 urn:uuid:6bd6e2a3-d139-4f18-b86d-b61f1a2f7951 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6bd6e2a3-d139-4f18-b86d-b61f1a2f7951 15 9781805114277 06 10.11647/OBP.0431 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Phenomenography in the 21st Century A Methodology for Investigating Human Experience of the World 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3937-7732 Gerlese S.

Phenomenography focuses on the relationship between meaning—people’s holistic understanding of phenomena—and structure, that is the part-whole structure of people’s awareness of phenomena. This structure of awareness then forms the basis for identifying differences in the experienced meaning of phenomena, and how awareness needs to change to allow new meanings to emerge—whether educationally, historically, culturally or socially. Over its 50-year history, there have been substantial advancements in the methods and theoretical assumptions underlying phenomenographic research, but these developments are not always recognised. This book details how the 21st-century practice of phenomenography differs from its earlier iterations, emphasising that earlier works can be misleading when used to justify current research practices.Phenomenography is a developing, not static, approach to social science research, and this book introduces further methodological and theoretical extensions to the research. Although most commonly used in educational research, the potential of phenomenography to contribute to research in other social science disciplines is increasingly being recognised and is further emphasised in this book. In this way, this book is not only essential reading for doctoral students, but will also be of interest to those already experienced in phenomenography, and to social science researchers within and outside the field of education. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0431_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114253 06 15 9781805114260 06 15 9781805114277 06 15 9781805114291 06 15 9781805114284 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0431.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0431 99 04 urn:uuid:c48877a0-51d3-4c74-adeb-86c52eb7ba9b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c48877a0-51d3-4c74-adeb-86c52eb7ba9b 15 9781805113812 06 10.11647/OBP.0421 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Phenomenology and the Philosophy of Technology 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2009-2198 Bas de Boer 2 B01 21 0000-0002-6602-019X Jochem Zwier 01 eng 00 304 03 10 PHI018000 93 QDHR5 04 T14 20 Technological artifacts 20 Contemporary life 10 PHI013000 93 QDTJ 93 PDR 10 PHI026000 20 Postphenomenology 93 3M 10 PHI016000 20 Temporality 20 Philosophy of technology 01 06 03 00 Our contemporary world is undeniably intertwined with technology, influencing every aspect of human life.

Over the past two decades, scholars have emphasized users’ lived experiences and their interactions with technological practices, arguing that technologies gain meaning and shape within specific contexts, actively shaping those contexts in return. This book investigates the phenomenological roots of contemporary philosophy of technology, examining how phenomenology informs analyses of temporality, use, cognition, embodiment, and environmentality.Divided into three sections, the volume begins by exploring the role of phenomenological methods in the philosophy of technology, and further investigates the methodological implications of combining phenomenology with other philosophical schools. The second section examines technology as a phenomenon, debating whether it should be analysed as a whole or through individual artifacts. The final section addresses the practical applications of phenomenological insights in design practices and democratic engagement.By offering a systematic exploration of the connection between phenomenology and technology, this volume provides valuable insights for scholars, students, and researchers in related fields, highlighting the continued relevance of phenomenological perspectives in understanding our technologically mediated world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0421_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113799 06 15 9781805113805 06 15 9781805113812 06 15 9781805113836 06 15 9781805113829 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0421.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0421 99 04 urn:uuid:9e8b481c-615e-4c16-bffb-222652dc079c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9e8b481c-615e-4c16-bffb-222652dc079c 15 9781783749164 06 10.11647/OBP.0202 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Photography in the Third Reich Art, Physiognomy and Propaganda 1 B01 Christopher Webster 01 eng 00 310 03 12 JFC 10 PHO007000 20 photo-historical survey 04 TR73 12 AJ 20 photographers 10 SOC024000 12 AJB 20 National Socialism 12 AP 20 Third Reich 20 physiognomic photography 20 ethnographic photography 20 Selbstgleichschaltung 20 photography 01 06 03 00 This lucid and comprehensive collection of essays by an international group of scholars constitutes a photo-historical survey of select photographers who embraced National Socialism during the Third Reich. These photographers developed and implemented physiognomic and ethnographic photography, and, through a Selbstgleichschaltung (a self-co-ordination with the regime), continued to practice as photographers throughout the twelve years of the Third Reich.The volume explores, through photographic reproductions and accompanying analysis, diverse aspects of photography during the Third Reich, ranging from the influence of Modernism, the qualitative effect of propaganda photography, and the utilisation of technology such as colour film, to the photograph as ideological metaphor. With an emphasis on the idealised representation of the German body and the role of physiognomy within this representation, the book examines how select photographers created and developed a visual myth of the ‘master race’ and its antitheses under the auspices of the Nationalist Socialist state.Photography in the Third Reich approaches its historical source photographs as material culture, examining their production, construction and proliferation. This detailed and informative text will be a valuable resource not only to historians studying the Third Reich, but to scholars and students of film, history of art, politics, media studies, cultural studies and holocaust studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0202_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749140 06 15 9781783749157 06 15 9781783749164 06 15 9781800646131 06 15 9781783749195 06 15 9781783749171 06 15 9781783749188 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0202.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0202 99 04 urn:uuid:fafcd81d-cc87-47fc-8397-a75b57aa3edb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fafcd81d-cc87-47fc-8397-a75b57aa3edb 15 9781800648449 06 10.11647/OBP.0319 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Prismatic Jane Eyre Close-Reading a World Novel Across Languages 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7295-0687 Matthew Reynolds 2 A01 Andrés Claro 3 A01 21 0000-0003-3411-1633 Annmarie Drury 4 A01 Mary Frank 5 A01 21 0000-0002-6223-0587 Paola Gaudio 6 A01 21 0000-0002-2198-5406 Rebecca Ruth Gould 7 A01 21 0000-0001-9707-3158 Jernej Habjan 8 A01 Yunte Huang 9 A01 21 0000-0002-6585-7588 Eugenia Kelbert 10 A01 21 0000-0001-6000-3666 Ulrich Timme Kragh 11 A01 21 0000-0001-5936-7067 Abhishek Jain 12 A01 21 0000-0002-1963-3137 Ida Klitgård 13 A01 Léa Rychen 14 A01 Madli Kütt 15 A01 Ana Teresa Marques dos Santos 16 A01 21 0000-0003-0464-683X Cláudia Pazos-Alonso 17 A01 21 0000-0002-0211-8673 Eleni Philippou 18 A01 Yousif M.

Prismatic Jane Eyre argues that we should see these many re-writings, not as simple replications of the novel, but as a release of its multiple interpretative possibilities: in other words, as a prism. Prismatic Jane Eyre develops the theoretical ramifications of this idea, and reads Brontë’s novel in the light of them: together, the English text and the many translations form one vast entity, a multilingual world-work, spanning many times and places, from Cuba in 1850 to 21st-century China; from Calcutta to Bologna, Argentina to Iran. Co-written by many scholars, Prismatic Jane Eyre traces the receptions of the novel across cultures, showing why, when and where it has been translated (and no less significantly, not translated – as in Swahili), and exploring its global publishing history with digital maps and carousels of cover images. Above all, the co-authors read the translations and the English text closely, and together, showing in detail how the novel’s feminist power, its political complexities and its romantic appeal play out differently in different contexts and in the varied styles and idioms of individual translators. Tracking key words such as ‘passion’ and ‘plain’ across many languages via interactive visualisations and comparative analysis, Prismatic Jane Eyre opens a wholly new perspective on Brontë’s novel, and provides a model for the collaborative close-reading of world literature. Prismatic Jane Eyre is a major intervention in translation and reception studies and world and comparative literature. It will also interest scholars of English literature, and readers of the Brontës. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0319_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648425 06 15 9781800648432 06 15 9781800648449 06 15 9781800648487 06 15 9781800648470 06 15 9781800648456 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0319.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0319 99 04 urn:uuid:8c4476de-67ab-47d1-a06f-557fa74ba0e5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8c4476de-67ab-47d1-a06f-557fa74ba0e5 15 9781906924201 06 10.11647/OBP.0007 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 Privilege and Property Essays on the History of Copyright 1 B01 Ronan Deazley 2 B01 Martin Kretschmer 3 B01 Lionel Bently 01 eng 00 454 03 04 K1440 20 Law 10 LAW050010 12 LNRC 20 aesthetics 12 HBTB 20 cultural studies 20 John Milton 20 legal history 20 copyright history 20 copyright law 20 creative commons 20 patent 20 intellectual property 20 public domain 20 book history 20 censorship 01 06 03 00 What can and can’t be copied is a matter of law, but also of aesthetics, culture, and economics. The act of copying, and the creation and transaction of rights relating to it, evokes fundamental notions of communication and censorship, of authorship and ownership—of privilege and property. This volume conceives a new history of copyright law that has its roots in a wide range of norms and practices. The essays reach back to the very material world of craftsmanship and mechanical inventions of Renaissance Italy where, in 1469, the German master printer Johannes of Speyer obtained a five-year exclusive privilege to print in Venice and its dominions. Along the intellectual journey that follows, we encounter John Milton who, in 1644 accused the English parliament of having been deceived by the ‘fraud of some old patentees and monopolizers in the trade of bookselling’ (i.e. the London Stationers’ Company). Later revisionary essays investigate the regulation of the printing press in the North American colonies as a provincial and somewhat crude version of European precedents, and how, in the revolutionary France of 1789, the subtle balance that the royal decrees had established between the interests of the author, the bookseller, and the public, was shattered by the abolition of the privilege system. Some of the essays also address the specific evolution of rights associated with the visual and performing arts. The volume is a companion to the digital archive Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900), funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Privilege and Property is recommended in the Times Higher Education Textbook Guide (November, 2010). 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0007_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) 16 The Jessica E.

It is intended as a high-school and college-level introduction to the central concepts of narrative theory – concepts that will aid students in developing their competence not only in analysing and interpreting short stories and novels, but also in writing them.This textbook prioritises clarity over intricacy of theory, equipping its readers with the necessary tools to embark on further study of literature, literary theory and creative writing. Building on a ‘semiotic model of narrative,’ it is structured around the key elements of narratological theory, with chapters on plot, setting, characterisation, and narration, as well as on language and theme – elements which are underrepresented in existing textbooks on narrative theory. The chapter on language constitutes essential reading for those students unfamiliar with rhetoric, while the chapter on theme draws together significant perspectives from contemporary critical theory (including feminism and postcolonialism).This textbook is engaging and easily navigable, with key concepts highlighted and clearly explained, both in the text and in a full glossary located at the end of the book. Throughout the textbook the reader is aided by diagrams, images, quotes from prominent theorists, and instructive examples from classical and popular short stories and novels (such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Franz Kafka’s ‘The Metamorphosis,’ J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, or Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, amongst many others).Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative can either be incorporated as the main textbook into a wider syllabus on narrative theory and creative writing, or it can be used as a supplementary reference book for readers interested in narrative fiction. The textbook is a must-read for beginning students of narratology, especially those with no or limited prior experience in this area. It is of especial relevance to English and Humanities major students in Asia, for whom it was conceived and written. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0187_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783748099 06 15 9781783748105 06 15 9781783748112 06 15 9781800645998 06 15 9781783748143 06 15 9781783748129 06 15 9781783748136 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0187 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0187.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:fa7895bf-22f2-4a9f-8361-8e74c9798670 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fa7895bf-22f2-4a9f-8361-8e74c9798670 15 9781805112204 06 10.11647/OBP.0389 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Psychological Perspectives on Musical Experiences and Skills Research in the Western Balkans and Western Europe 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9235-8389 Blanka Bogunović 2 B01 21 0000-0002-1981-0834 Renee Timmers 3 B01 21 0000-0003-3061-9317 Sanela Nikolić 01 eng 00 428 03 93 AVA 12 JHMC 10 MUS015000 20 Psychology of Music 12 JMAN 93 JMB 10 PSY030000 20 Western Balkans 12 1DD 93 GTM 10 MUS000000 20 Music Appreciation 20 Aesthetic Experiences 12 AVA 10 SOC053000 10 LAN004000 20 Performance Skills 20 Music preferences 20 Music perception and cognition 20 Musicians’ personality, motivation and well-being 20 Western Europe 20 Music education and expertise 20 Creative, Performance and Listening Skills 20 Musical audiences 20 Cross-cultural studies 20 Socio-cultural context 01 06 03 00 Psychology of Music is a flourishing area of research in the Western Balkans. However, much of its findings and insights have remained relatively unknown outside the region. Psychological Perspectives on Musical Experiences and Skills features recent research from the Western Balkans, foregrounding its specific topics, methods, and influences, and bringing it into productive conversation with complementary research from Western Europe and further afield.The essays in this collection investigate the psychology of listening and performance and their relevance to music practice. Employing a range of research methodologies, they address divergent themes, from a cross-cultural understanding of aesthetic experiences and innovations to attract new audiences, to developmental perspectives on musical growth and the challenges of mastering performance skills. Authors reflect independently and collaboratively on how these psychological processes are shaped by the different traditions and geopolitical conditions inside and outside the Western Balkans. The result is a volume that emphasizes how musical experiences and practices happen not in isolation but in socio-cultural environments that contribute to their definition. This work will appeal to musicians, music educators, students, researchers, and psychologists with an interest in the psychology of music and exemplify ways forward in decolonizing academia. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0389_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112181 06 15 9781805112198 06 15 9781805112204 06 15 9781805112235 06 15 9781805112211 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0389 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0389.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:4ba7bd40-d68d-4632-8a76-4fbdaf5dc9c1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4ba7bd40-d68d-4632-8a76-4fbdaf5dc9c1 15 9781805116042 06 10.11647/OBP.0468 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 The Medieval Text Consortium Series 01 01 Questions on the Posterior Analytics (Second Redaction) 1 B01 21 0009-0004-1250-0202 Iacopo Costa 2 B01 21 0000-0003-0345-7949 Gustavo Fernández Walker 3 B01 21 0000-0002-9091-4863 Ana María Mora-Márquez 4 Z01 John Longeway 5 Z01 21 0000-0002-0995-843X Matthew Wennemann 6 A01 Simon of Faversham 01 eng 02 lat 00 331 03 04 B441 93 NHDJ 10 PHI012000 20 Simon of Faversham 93 GTB 20 Medieval demonstration 10 SCI034000 10 HIS037010 93 QDHF 20 scientia 20 Medieval science 20 Medieval philosophy 01 06 03 00 Simon of Faversham was an English scholar affiliated with the University of Paris during the 1280s, where he most likely wrote his commentaries on Aristotle’s philosophical works. The Posterior Analytics, one of Aristotle’s most important treatises, addresses the nature of scientific demonstration. Faversham’s two extant commentaries on The Posterior Analytics are invaluable witnesses to key elements of late medieval accounts of scientific demonstration, including views on the extent and limits of demonstration, its metaphysical underpinnings, and its epistemic power.The commentary edited here, together with the accompanying translation, offers new insight into Simon of Faversham’s philosophy—a fascinating chapter in the history of late medieval thought. It also deepens our understanding of the philosophical discussions on demonstration and related topics that took place during the early period of Europe’s university history, and of the ways in which these discussions drew on earlier philosophical developments in non-European traditions, notably the Islamic philosophical tradition. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0468_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116028 06 15 9781805116035 06 15 9781805116042 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0468.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0468 99 04 urn:uuid:79fdfacc-265f-41cd-8b3d-f7ec3881dbdd 03 01 01 urn:uuid:79fdfacc-265f-41cd-8b3d-f7ec3881dbdd 15 9781805114895 06 10.11647/OBP.0444 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 10 01 02 The Global Qur'an 01 01 Qur’an Translations in the Eastern Bloc and Beyond 1 B01 21 0000-0001-7909-7893 Elvira Kulieva 2 B01 21 0000-0001-6603-5116 Johanna Pink 3 B01 21 0000-0002-8305-1166 Mykhaylo Yakubovych 01 eng 00 340 03 04 BP131.14 93 QRPF1 20 Qur'an translations 10 REL037000 20 Post-communist societies 93 QRVC 10 REL017000 93 1QFW 20 Islamic authority 10 REL084000 93 5PGP 10 HIS032020 20 Religious identity 20 Eastern Bloc history 10 HIS037070 20 State policies on religion 01 06 03 00 This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of Qur’an translations across the diverse landscapes of the former Eastern Bloc, from Uzbekistan to the German Democratic Republic. With a focus on how Islamic texts have been shaped by state policies, ideological shifts, and religious identities, it traces connections between these regions and the wider world, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and China. This volume draws on perspectives from both Sunni and Shia traditions, as well as contributions by non-Muslim scholars. Through archival research and close textual analysis, the contributors demonstrate how translations of the Qur’an have served not only as religious texts but also as reflections of profound transformations in national and religious identities in communist and post-communist societies. Qur’an translations have gained prominence within the modern Muslim publishing world, and their analysis reveals a dynamic interplay between local politics and global Islamic discourse. They have become symbols of religious resurgence, cultural renewal, and intellectual exchange—but also objects of persecution and contestation. Based on multilingual sources, this collection is an essential resource for understanding Qur’an translations as a significant scholarly and cultural phenomenon in the modern era. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0444_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114871 06 15 9781805114888 06 15 9781805114895 06 15 9781805114918 06 15 9781805114901 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0444 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0444.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b23d8abf-4114-4472-8a84-30bbe88de0c4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b23d8abf-4114-4472-8a84-30bbe88de0c4 15 9781800648098 06 10.11647/OBP.0313 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ 01 01 Rāgs Around the Clock A Handbook for North Indian Classical Music, with Online Recordings in the Khayāl Style 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1365-4188 David Clarke 2 Z01 Vijay Rajput 01 eng 00 262 03 12 AV 93 AVLA 10 MUS006000 20 Rāgs 12 AVA 93 AVM 10 MUS020000 20 North Indian classical music 93 AVA 12 AVGE 20 Handbook 10 MUS015000 93 AVX 12 JHMC 10 MUS032000 20 Songs (music and text) 12 1FKA 93 NHF 20 world music 12 AVX 20 ethnomusicology 01 06 03 00 Rāgs Around the Clock is a rich and vibrant compendium for the discovery and study of North Indian classical music. The theory and practice of rāg are explored through two interlinked resources: a handbook of essays and analyses offering technical, historical, cultural and aesthetic perspectives; and two online albums – Rāg samay cakra and Twilight Rāgs from North India – featuring khayāl singer Vijay Rajput and accompanists.Extracts from the albums are also embedded into the text to enhance learning and understanding. Each rāg is accompanied by a description of its chief characteristics and technical features, a notation of the song (bandiś) on which the performance is based, and a transliteration and translation of the song text. Distinctively, Rāg samay cakra also includes spoken renditions of each of the texts, helping non-Hindavi speakers to achieve the correct pronunciation.Sharing insights from both theory and practice, this collection draws on recent scholarship while also showcasing the vocal idiom – the gāyakī – of Vijay Rajput, a disciple of the late Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. It offers invaluable reading for students and researchers of Indian classical music, world music and ethnomusicology, and a rich repository for teacher and student practitioners of the khayāl vocal style. The combination of an aural and written exploration of rāg will appeal to anyone drawn to this form of music – whether newcomer, student (śiṣyā) or aficionado (rasika). 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0313_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Newcastle University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800648074 06 15 9781800648098 06 15 9781800648135 06 15 9781800648104 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0313 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0313.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:d2982949-7f7c-4527-8a55-6e4115adee99 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d2982949-7f7c-4527-8a55-6e4115adee99 15 9781800641211 06 10.11647/OBP.0241 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Reading Backwards An Advance Retrospective on Russian Literature 1 B01 Timothy Langen 2 B01 21 0000-0001-7615-6720 Muireann Maguire 01 eng 00 302 03 20 anticipatory plagiarism 12 DS 10 LCO000000 04 PG2925 12 1DVUA 10 LCO008010 20 Oulipo 20 French literature 12 HBJ 10 LIT004240 20 Russian literature 20 literary canon 20 literary influence 20 nineteenth-century literature 20 Gogol 20 Dostoevsky 20 Tolstoy 20 Raphael 20 Homer 20 Hall Caine 20 Coetzee 20 Petrushevskaia 20 classics 20 cultural heritage 20 Russian Studies 20 comparative literature 20 reception studies 20 translation studies 01 06 03 00 This edited volume employs the paradoxical notion of ‘anticipatory plagiarism’—developed in the 1960s by the ‘Oulipo’ group of French writers and thinkers—as a mode for reading Russian literature. Reversing established critical approaches to the canon and literary influence, its contributors ask us to consider how reading against linear chronologies can elicit fascinating new patterns and perspectives.Reading Backwards: An Advance Retrospective on Russian Literature re-assesses three major nineteenth-century authors—Gogol, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy—either in terms of previous writers and artists who plagiarized them (such as Raphael, Homer, or Hall Caine), or of their own depredations against later writers (from J.M. Coetzee to Liudmila Petrushevskaia).Far from suggesting that past authors literally stole from their descendants, these engaging essays, contributed by both early-career and senior scholars of Russian and comparative literature, encourage us to identify the contingent and familiar within classic texts. By moving beyond rigid notions of cultural heritage and literary canons, they demonstrate that inspiration is cyclical, influence can flow in multiple directions, and no idea is ever truly original.This book will be of great value to literary scholars and students working in Russian Studies. The introductory discussion of the origins and context of ‘plagiarism by anticipation’, alongside varied applications of the concept, will also be of interest to those working in the wider fields of comparative literature, reception studies, and translation studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0241_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Exeter 01 programname Institutional Open Access Fund 16 University of Missouri 01 programname Research Council Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800641198 06 15 9781800641204 06 15 9781800641211 06 15 9781800641242 06 15 9781800641228 06 15 9781800641235 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0241.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0241 99 04 urn:uuid:05f0c57b-f2ae-4c06-b5da-5e77164a16be 03 01 01 urn:uuid:05f0c57b-f2ae-4c06-b5da-5e77164a16be 15 9781805115502 06 10.11647/OBP.0457 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Reading Performance and Materiality in Hebrew and Aramaic Traditions 1 B01 Hector M.

It explored, in particular, how these were shaped by material and non-textual aspects (oral traditions, performative context, philological values, etc). Among the questions it addressed were: How did non-textual components determine reading? To what extent did materiality shape or limit readings? How did reading practices shape the texts themselves? What values guided how texts were modified and variant texts evaluated? What determined which form or version of a text was read and according to what conventions? The responses to these questions collected in this volume highlight the tensions between authority and creativity, preservation and innovation, understanding and misapprehension, knowledge and ignorance, which shaped Jewish practices of reading. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0457_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115489 06 15 9781805115496 06 15 9781805115502 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0457 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0457.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:0bdf8479-ab91-4d79-9936-587bd97277fe 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0bdf8479-ab91-4d79-9936-587bd97277fe 15 9781800643703 06 10.11647/OBP.0284 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Reading the Juggler of Notre Dame Medieval Miracles and Modern Remakings 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6400-2764 Jan M.

Ziolkowski builds on themes uncovered in his earlier The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity. Here he focuses particularly on the performing arts.Part one contextualises Our Lady’s Tumbler, a French poem of the late 1230s, by comparing it with episodes in the Bible and miracles in a wide variety of medieval European sources. It relates this material to analogues and folklore across the ages from, among others, Persian, Jewish and Hungarian cultures. Part two scrutinizes the reception and impact of the poem with reference to modern European and American literature, including works by the Nobel prize-winner Anatole France, professor-poet Katharine Lee Bates, philosopher-historian Henry Adams and poet W.H. Auden.This innovative collection of sources introduces readers to many previously untranslated texts, and invites them to explore the journey of Our Lady’s Tumbler across both sides of the Atlantic.Reading the Juggler of Notre Dame: Medieval Miracles and Modern Remakings will benefit scholars and students alike. The short introductions and numerous annotations shed light on unusual beliefs and practices of the past, making the readings accessible to anyone with an interest in the arts and an openness to the Middle Ages. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0284_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Harvard University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643680 06 15 9781800643697 06 15 9781800643703 06 15 9781800646698 06 15 9781800643734 06 15 9781800643710 06 15 9781800643727 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0284 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0284.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:fca7ec1d-2329-4331-b468-3f5caba29cb6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fca7ec1d-2329-4331-b468-3f5caba29cb6 15 9781805112419 06 10.11647/OBP.0393 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Reign of the Beast The Atheist World of W.

Reign of the Beast pieces together the extraordinary story of this lost working-man's institution and its enigmatic owner, the wine merchant W. D. Saull. A financial backer of the anti-clerical Richard Carlile, the ‘Devil's Chaplain’ Robert Taylor, and socialist Robert Owen, Saull outraged polite society by putting humanity’s ape ancestry on display. He weaponized his museum fossils and empowered artisans with a knowledge of deep geological time that undermined the Creationist base of the Anglican state. His geology museum, called the biggest in Britain, housed over 20,000 fossils, including famous dinosaurs. Saull was indicted for blasphemy and reviled during his lifetime. After his death in 1855, his museum was demolished and he was expunged from the collective memory. Now multi-award-winning author Adrian Desmond undertakes a thorough reading of Home Office spy reports and subversive street prints to re-establish Saull's pivotal place at the intersection of the history of geology, atheism, socialism, and working-class radicalism. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0393_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112396 06 15 9781805112402 06 15 9781805112419 06 15 9781805112440 06 15 9781805112426 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0393.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0393 99 04 urn:uuid:67a02374-4e51-43b5-830b-c85e4c3a7b08 03 01 01 urn:uuid:67a02374-4e51-43b5-830b-c85e4c3a7b08 15 9781783744756 06 10.11647/OBP.0138 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Field Guides Series 01 01 Remote Capture Digitising Documentary Heritage in Challenging Locations 1 B01 Patrick Sutherland 2 B01 21 0000-0001-5331-6592 Adam Farquhar 3 B01 Jody Butterworth 4 B01 Andrew Pearson 01 eng 00 192 03 12 AJG 20 scholarly digitisation project 10 SOC019000 04 Z701.3.C65 12 GM 20 guide 10 PHO007000 20 British Library 12 GP 10 SOC024000 20 Endangered Archives Programme 10 REF020000 20 EAP 20 archive digitisation 20 endangered archives 01 06 03 00 This is a must-read how-to guide if you are planning to embark on a scholarly digitisation project.

Inspirada en El Sistema, el programa venezolano fundacional de educación musical, La Red es, no obstante, notablemente diferente: su historia es una de múltiples reinvenciones y de una búsqueda continua para mejorar su oferta educativa y alcanzar mejor sus objetivos sociales. Sus reflexiones internas e intentos de transformación arrojan luz valiosa sobre el pasado, el presente y el futuro de ASPM.Basado en un año de trabajo de campo intensivo en Colombia y escrito por Geoffrey Baker, autor de El Sistema: Orchestrating Venezuela’s Youth (2014), este importante volumen ofrece nuevas perspectivas sobre ASPM y su evolución tanto en el ámbito académico como en la práctica. Será de interés para un público muy variado: empleados y líderes de programas ASPM; educadores musicales; patrocinadores y responsables políticos; y estudiantes y académicos de campos como ASPM, la educación musical, la etnomusicología y otros campos relacionados. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0263_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Royal Holloway, University of London 01 programname Music & Letters Trust 16 Music & Letters Trust 01 programname Music & Letters Trust Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800642423 06 15 9781800642430 06 15 9781800642447 06 15 9781800646544 06 15 9781800642478 06 15 9781800642454 06 15 9781800642461 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0263.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0263 99 04 urn:uuid:6884029f-c808-4ead-be6e-e801f7011b1e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6884029f-c808-4ead-be6e-e801f7011b1e 15 9781805117162 06 10.11647/OBP.0492 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Representation Theory A Categorical Approach 1 A01 Jan E.

Guiding readers through the transition between structure theory and representation theory, this textbook explores how algebraic objects like groups and rings act as symmetries of other structures. Using the accessible yet powerful language of category theory, the book reimagines standard approaches to topics such as modules and algebras in a way that unlocks modern treatments of more advanced topics such as quiver representations and even representations of Hopf algebras and categories.Aimed at undergraduate students with prior exposure to linear algebra and basic group theory, the book introduces categories early and uses them throughout, providing a cohesive framework that mirrors current mathematical research. Though technically sophisticated, it also includes examples and exercises designed to develop intuition and understanding.Grabowski’s inclusion of computational tools such as SageMath offers a valuable and traditionally underdeveloped bridge between abstract theory and hands-on exploration.

The most important difference between my portrait and my name, for example, is that whereas my portrait and I are connected by my portrait’s resemblance to me, my name and I are connected merely by an arbitrary convention. The first aim of this book is to defend this platitude from the apparently compelling objections raised against it, by analysing depiction in a way which reveals how it is mediated by resemblance. It’s natural to contrast the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance, which emphasises the differences between depictive and descriptive representation, with an extremely close analogy between depiction and description, which emphasises the similarities between depictive and descriptive representation. Whereas the platitude emphasises that the connection between my portrait and me is natural in a way the connection between my name and me is not, the analogy emphasises the contingency of the connection between my portrait and me. Nevertheless, the second aim of this book is to defend an extremely close analogy between depiction and description. The strategy of the book is to argue that the apparently compelling objections raised against the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance are manifestations of more general problems, which are familiar from the philosophy of language. These problems, it argues, can be resolved by answers analogous to their counterparts in the philosophy of language, without rejecting the platitude. So the combination of the platitude that depiction is mediated by resemblance with a close analogy between depiction and description turns out to be a compelling theory of depiction, which combines the virtues of common sense with the insights of its detractors. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0046_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 National University of Singapore Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740727 06 15 9781783740734 06 15 9781783740741 06 15 9781800644731 06 15 9781783740758 06 15 9781783740765 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0046 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0046.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:d0845f09-2d72-4ae9-bdc1-a3cdadfa2ad4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d0845f09-2d72-4ae9-bdc1-a3cdadfa2ad4 15 9781800648654 06 10.11647/OBP.0322 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Reshaping Food Systems to improve Nutrition and Health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7387-8277 Ayoub Al-Jawaldeh 2 A01 21 0000-0002-8852-7899 Alexa Meyer 01 eng 00 316 03 04 HD9018.M44 12 JFCV 20 nutrition 10 SOC055000 20 health 12 MBNH3 10 SOC008060 10 HEA048000 12 WBH 20 World Health Organization (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Region 20 food systems actions 10 HEA034000 12 WBHS 12 1QRM 10 CKB055000 01 06 03 00 This detailed and comprehensive study examines nutrition and health in the World Health Organization (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Region, presenting the six game-changing food systems actions proposed by the WHO and the progress of their implementation in the region.The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region is a particularly complex place to study: an area of economic contrasts with changing dietary patterns and stark differences between high levels of malnutrition and a prevalence of overweight and obesity. As a result, actions to improve the nutritional situation of the population are urgently sought. The strategies explored in this book offer a unique opportunity to change food systems all over the world, addressing aspects including sustainable food production, the impact of marketing and labelling on behaviour, and the effect of global events such as climate change, war and the COVID-19 pandemic.Reshaping Food Systems is an essential read at a time when malnutrition in all its forms, including undernourishment, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight and obesity, pose a serious threat to global health, and is of particular interest for policymakers working in nutrition and public health. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0322_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648630 06 15 9781800648647 06 15 9781800648654 06 15 9781800648692 06 15 9781800648685 06 15 9781800648661 06 15 9781800648678 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0322 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0322.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b6e54855-16d6-492a-9ac5-a3d22a3a0fde 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b6e54855-16d6-492a-9ac5-a3d22a3a0fde 15 9781800641280 06 10.11647/OBP.0243 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Rethinking Social Action through Music The Search for Coexistence and Citizenship in Medellín’s Music Schools 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1315-5680 Geoffrey Baker 01 eng 00 476 03 12 AVA 10 MUS006000 20 music 12 JHMC 10 MUS020000 20 social action 12 AVH 10 MUS007000 20 Red de Escuelas de Música de Medellín 20 Colombia 20 El Sistema 20 Venezuela 20 music education 20 history 20 society 20 SATM 20 policy-making 20 ethnomusicology 01 06 03 00 How can we better understand the past, present and future of Social Action through Music (SATM)?This ground-breaking book examines the development of the Red de Escuelas de Música de Medellín (the Network of Music Schools of Medellín), a network of 27 schools founded in Colombia’s second city in 1996 as a response to its reputation as the most dangerous city on Earth. Inspired by El Sistema, the foundational Venezuelan music education program, the Red is nonetheless markedly different: its history is one of multiple reinventions and a continual search to improve its educational offering and better realise its social goals.

The essays in this volume critically examine scholarly research practices in the age of the Anthropocene, and ask what accountability educators and researchers have in ‘righting’ their relationship to the environment. The volume further calls attention to the geographical, financial, legal and political barriers that might limit scholarly dialogue by excluding researchers from participating in traditional modes of scholarly conversation.As such, Right Research is a bold invitation to the academic community to rigorous self-reflection on what their research looks like, how it is conducted, and how it might be developed so as to increase accessibility and sustainability, and decrease carbon footprint. The volume follows a three-part structure that bridges conceptual and practical concerns: the first section challenges our assumptions about how sustainability is defined, measured and practiced; the second section showcases artist-researchers whose work engages with the impact of humans on our environment; while the third section investigates how academic spaces can model eco-conscious behaviour.This timely volume responds to an increased demand for environmentally sustainable research, and is outstanding not only in its interdisciplinarity, but its embrace of non-traditional formats, spanning academic articles, creative acts, personal reflections and dialogues. Right Research will be a valuable resource for educators and researchers interested in developing and hybridizing their scholarly communication formats in the face of the current climate crisis. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0213_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Alberta Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749614 06 15 9781783749621 06 15 9781783749638 06 15 9781800646193 06 15 9781783749669 06 15 9781783749645 06 15 9781783749652 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0213 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0213.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:90fa37a3-d511-43fa-9b2e-4d0ec2394a53 03 01 01 urn:uuid:90fa37a3-d511-43fa-9b2e-4d0ec2394a53 15 9781805111511 06 10.11647/OBP.0376 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Roles and Relations in Biblical Law A Study of Participant Tracking, Semantic Roles, and Social Networks in Leviticus 17-26 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1855-1017 Christian Canu Højgaard 01 eng 00 462 03 12 HRAM 20 Leviticus 17–26 93 QRAX 10 REL006030 20 Holiness Code 12 HRCG 93 JBSR 10 SOC039000 12 HRCM 20 Law text 93 QRAC 10 REL017000 20 Ethical roles 12 HRCR 93 QRAM1 10 REL028000 12 HR 10 REL033000 20 Social network analysis 20 Hebrew textual interactions 01 06 03 00 Leviticus 17–26, an ancient law text known as the Holiness Code, prescribes how particular persons are to behave in concrete, everyday situations. The addressees of the law text must revere their parents, respect the elderly, fear God, take care of their fellow, provide for the sojourner, and so on. The sojourner has his own obligations, as do the priests. Even God is said to behave in various ways towards various persons. Thus, the law text forms an intricate web of persons and interactions.There is a growing awareness that ancient law texts were not arbitrary collections of legal paragraphs but articulations of certain world views. The laws were rational in their own respect and were based on the lawgiver’s ethos. However, since the ethical values of the lawgiver rarely—if ever—surface in the text itself, it has proven difficult to grasp with traditional, exegetical methods. This study offers a novel approach to mapping out the ethos of an ancient law text like Leviticus 17–26. By employing social network analysis, the participants and their interactions are mapped to scrutinize the ethical roles embodied by the persons of the law.To accomplish this, the study undertakes meticulous research into both the participants and the interactions of Leviticus 17–26. The book investigates a semi-automatic approach to extracting participant information from a text and offers new methods for analysing Hebrew interactions (realised as verbal predicates) in terms of dynamicity, causation, and agency. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0376_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111498 06 15 9781805111504 06 15 9781805111511 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0376 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0376.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:672517b6-6b6d-4447-ac2f-06ee8238e484 03 01 01 urn:uuid:672517b6-6b6d-4447-ac2f-06ee8238e484 15 9781800640733 06 10.11647/OBP.0232 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Romanticism and Time Literary Temporalities 1 B01 21 0000-0001-6622-9455 Sophie Laniel-Musitelli 2 B01 Céline Sabiron 01 eng 00 312 03 12 D 10 LIT000000 04 PN603 20 time 12 DSBF 10 LIT004120 20 William Blake 20 British 12 DS 10 LIT024030 12 DSC 10 LIT024040 20 Romantic 12 DSK 10 LIT014000 20 literature 20 poetry 20 eighteenth century 20 nineteenth century 20 history 20 Percy Shelley 20 John Clare 20 Samuel Rodgers 20 Frankenstein 20 periodisation 20 poetics of time 20 ecology 20 futurity 20 opera 20 atemporality 20 Venice 20 America 20 Europe 20 Beethoven 20 Irving 20 Nietzsche 20 Beckett 20 philosophy 01 06 03 00 ‘Eternity is in love with the productions of time’. This original edited volume takes William Blake’s aphorism as a basis to explore how British Romantic literature creates its own sense of time. It considers Romantic poetry as embedded in and reflecting on the march of time, regarding it not merely as a reaction to the course of events between the late-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, but also as a form of creative engagement with history in the making.The authors offer a comprehensive overview of the question of time from a literary perspective, applying a diverse range of critical approaches to Romantic authors from William Blake and Percy Shelley to John Clare and Samuel Rodgers. Close readings uncover fresh insights into these authors and their works, including Frankenstein, the most familiar of Romantic texts.Revising current thinking about periodisation, the authors explore how the Romantic poetics of time bears witness to the ruptures and dislocations at work within chronological time. They consider an array of topics, such as ecological time, futurity, operatic time, or the a-temporality of Venice. As well as surveying the Romantic canon’s evolution over time, these essays approach it as a phenomenon unfolding across national borders. Romantic authors are compared with American or European counterparts including Beethoven, Irving, Nietzsche and Beckett.Romanticism and Time will be of great value to literary scholars and students working in Romantic Studies. It will be of further interest to philosophers and historians working on the connections between philosophy, history and literature during the nineteenth century. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0232_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640719 06 15 9781800640726 06 15 9781800640733 06 15 9781800646353 06 15 9781800640764 06 15 9781800640740 06 15 9781800640757 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0232 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0232.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:92b5a6a0-36c4-4a98-8840-1716d374ad69 03 01 01 urn:uuid:92b5a6a0-36c4-4a98-8840-1716d374ad69 15 9781783746958 06 10.11647/OBP.0167 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Sailing from Polis to Empire Ships in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic Period 1 B01 21 0000-0002-0003-6615 Emmanuel Nantet 01 eng 00 138 03 12 HBJD 20 Hellenistic archaeology 10 HIS002010 04 VM16 12 HBLA 20 Hellenistic economy 04 S25 12 HBTM 20 naval architecture 20 shipping in the eastern Mediterranean 20 maritime trade 20 the Mediterranean 01 06 03 00 This book represents a significant contribution to the fields of Hellenistic archaeology, Hellenistic economy, naval architecture and shipping in the eastern Mediterranean. It asks (and answers) questions that are often simply assumed and not systematically investigated.<break/>— Dr. Conor Trainor, University of WarwickWhat can the architecture of ancient ships tell us about their capacity to carry cargo or to navigate certain trade routes? How do such insights inform our knowledge of the ancient economies that depended on maritime trade across the Mediterranean?These and similar questions lie behind Sailing from Polis to Empire, a fascinating insight into the practicalities of trading by boat in the ancient world. Allying modern scientific knowledge with Hellenistic sources, this interdisciplinary collection brings together experts in various fields of ship archaeology to shed new light on the role played by ships and sailing in the exchange networks of the Mediterranean. Covering all parts of the Eastern Mediterranean, these outstanding contributions delve into a broad array of data – literary, epigraphical, papyrological, iconographic and archaeological – to understand the trade routes that connected the economies of individual cities and kingdoms.Unique in its interdisciplinary approach and focus on the Hellenistic period, this collection digs into the questions that others don’t think to ask, and comes up with (sometimes surprising) answers. It will be of value to researchers in the fields of naval architecture, Classical and Hellenistic history, social history and ancient geography, and to all those with an interest in the ancient world or the seafaring life. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0167_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783746934 06 15 9781783746941 06 15 9781783746958 06 15 9781800645820 06 15 9781783746989 06 15 9781783746965 06 15 9781783746972 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0167.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0167 99 04 urn:uuid:6b03a31a-3b84-4063-a8c9-ed239b5b0e43 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6b03a31a-3b84-4063-a8c9-ed239b5b0e43 15 9781805111436 06 10.11647/OBP.0365 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Saki (H.H.

Spanning literary genres, this collection will also appeal to a general audience of any interested readers. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0365_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111412 06 15 9781805111429 06 15 9781805111436 06 15 9781805111474 06 15 9781805111443 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0365.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0365 99 04 urn:uuid:27a32643-96a0-45d6-9bc9-dbfa76d2fe00 03 01 01 urn:uuid:27a32643-96a0-45d6-9bc9-dbfa76d2fe00 15 9781783744121 06 10.11647/OBP.0129 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Science as Social Existence Heidegger and the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge 1 A01 Jeff Kochan 01 eng 00 444 03 04 B3279.H49 12 PDX 10 PHI018000 20 sociology of scientific knowledge 20 Martin Heidegger 10 SCI075000 20 existential conception of science 10 SOC026040 10 PHI000000 20 philosophy of science 20 social science 20 history of science 20 Science and Technology Studies 01 06 03 00 In this bold and original study, Jeff Kochan constructively combines the sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) with Martin Heidegger’s early existential conception of science. Kochan shows convincingly that these apparently quite different approaches to science are, in fact, largely compatible, even mutually reinforcing. By combining Heidegger with SSK, Kochan argues, we can explicate, elaborate, and empirically ground Heidegger’s philosophy of science in a way that makes it more accessible and useful for social scientists and historians of science. Likewise, incorporating Heideggerian phenomenology into SSK renders SKK a more robust and attractive methodology for use by scholars in the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Kochan’s ground-breaking reinterpretation of Heidegger also enables STS scholars to sustain a principled analytical focus on scientific subjectivity, without running afoul of the orthodox subject-object distinction they often reject.Science as Social Existence is the first book of its kind, unfurling its argument through a range of topics relevant to contemporary STS research. These include the epistemology and metaphysics of scientific practice, as well as the methods of explanation appropriate to social scientific and historical studies of science. Science as Social Existence puts concentrated emphasis on the compatibility of Heidegger’s existential conception of science with the historical sociology of scientific knowledge, pursuing this combination at both macro- and micro-historical levels.Beautifully written and accessible, Science as Social Existence puts new and powerful tools into the hands of sociologists and historians of science, cultural theorists of science, Heidegger scholars, and pluralist philosophers of science. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0129_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783744107 06 15 9781783744114 06 15 9781783744121 06 15 9781800645486 06 15 9781783744602 06 15 9781783744138 06 15 9781783744145 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0129.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0129 99 04 urn:uuid:5e01605e-399d-4157-91f8-2052dbe82582 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5e01605e-399d-4157-91f8-2052dbe82582 15 9781805115847 06 10.11647/OBP.0465 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Science in the Salon: Atoms and Animals in Madeleine de Scudéry’s 'Conversations' (1680–92) An Essay and Translation 1 A01 21 0000-0001-5683-7967 Helena Taylor 01 eng 00 248 03 93 DSB 10 LIT004150 20 Madeleine de Scudéry 04 PQ1922.Z5 20 Early Modern Science 10 LIT004290 93 PDX 10 PHI016000 93 QDHR 20 Women in Philosophy 93 DSK 20 Seventeenth-Century Literature 10 SOC010000 20 Animal Studies 93 JBSF1 10 SCI034000 20 Epistemology and Atomism 93 JBCC9 01 06 03 00 Madeleine de Scudéry (1607–1701) was a celebrated seventeenth-century novelist and essayist, yet her engagement with natural philosophy and the sciences has been largely overlooked. This volume presents the first English translation of 'The Story of Two Chameleons' (1688) and situates it within Scudéry’s broader scientific and philosophical writing. Beyond this seminal text, the book explores her reflections on atomism, natural history, and epistemology, revealing her critical engagement with cutting-edge theories of her time, including a challenge to the Cartesian ‘animal-machine’ hypothesis.By translating and analyzing key sections from her multi-volume Conversations (1680–1692), including ‘On Uncertainty’, ‘The Story of Prince Ariamène’, which features Democritus, and ‘On Butterflies’, alongside selected manuscript material, this volume demonstrates how Scudéry’s interdisciplinary approach defied rigid intellectual boundaries, activating what Anne-Lise Rey terms ‘epistemic mobility.’ Her work offers a vital perspective on women’s contributions to the history of science and philosophy, and illuminates the ways in which marginalized voices engaged with and shaped knowledge production.With a critical introduction and extensive commentary, this open access edition makes Scudéry’s work widely available to scholars and students in early modern studies, French literature, philosophy, animal studies, and the environmental humanities. It is a timely contribution to ongoing efforts to recover women’s intellectual history and reassess the intersections of literature, science, and philosophy in early modern Europe. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0465_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 UK Research and Innovation 01 projectname ‘Cultures of Philosophy: Women Writing Knowledge in Early Modern Europe’ 01 grantnumber EP/Y006372/1 16 University of Exeter Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805115823 06 15 9781805115830 06 15 9781805115847 06 15 9781805115861 06 15 9781805115854 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0465.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0465 99 04 urn:uuid:85a6d1e6-d1b1-41e1-ad55-307e888af96c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:85a6d1e6-d1b1-41e1-ad55-307e888af96c 15 9781805110132 06 10.11647/OBP.0343 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Seabirds in the North-East Atlantic Climate Change Vulnerability and Potential Conservation Actions 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1404-5798 Henry Häkkinen 2 A01 21 0000-0002-3984-2403 Silviu O.

'Seabirds in the North-East Atlantic' collates information from the scientific literature, non-governmental organisations’ reports, conservation practitioner input and online databases into a single volume, and provides a reference manual to assist conservation planning. It is intended to be used by anyone who wishes to identify climate change threats to seabirds; to compare threats between different areas of the North-East Atlantic; to start a quantitative climate change vulnerability assessment for a local population; or to review options for conservation action in response to climate change.This book stems from research published in December 2022, but assessments may be updated based on feedback and newly available information.

Taking an innovative and interdisciplinary approach, this volume explores the idea of sharing as a model to construct and disseminate the knowledge of literary heritage with the people who are represented by and in it.<break/>Expert contributors interweave sociological analysis with an appraisal of the transformative impact of technology on literary and cultural production. Does technology restrict, constraining the experience of an oral performance, or does it afford new openings for different aesthetic experiences? Topics explored include the Mara Cultural Heritage Digital Library, the preservation of Ewe heritage material, new eresources for texts in Manding languages, and the possibilities of technauriture.This timely and necessary collection also examines to what extent digital documents can be and have been institutionalised in archives and museums, how digital heritage can remain free from co-option by hegemonic groups, and the roles that exist for community voices.A valuable contribution to a fast-developing field, this book is required reading for scholars and students in the fields of heritage, anthropology, linguistics, history and the emerging disciplines of multi-media documentation and analysis, as well as those working in the field of literature, folklore, and African studies. It is also important reading for museum and archive curators. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0111_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Leiden University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743186 06 15 9781783743193 06 15 9781783743209 06 15 9781800645301 06 15 9781783744183 06 15 9781783743216 06 15 9781783743223 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0111.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0111 99 04 urn:uuid:333eccd0-8bdf-45a7-9637-ee6fa9549f85 03 01 01 urn:uuid:333eccd0-8bdf-45a7-9637-ee6fa9549f85 15 9781800643765 06 10.11647/OBP.0285 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Second Chance My Life in Things 1 A01 Ruth Rosengarten 01 eng 00 292 03 12 BG 10 BIO000000 20 evocative objects 04 N6797.R5765 10 BIO022000 12 JMRM 20 memories 10 BIO001000 12 JFCD 20 materiality 12 AGB 10 ART065000 20 loss 12 AJB 20 migration 10 PHO011010 20 childless woman 12 DSA 01 06 03 00 In this intimate memoir, Ruth Rosengarten explores the subject of evocative objects through a series of interconnected essays.Evocative objects reflect our attitudes to our own lives and how we seek to display ourselves to ourselves. They are therefore, closely linked to our memories, and how we filter, process and reconstruct them. Rosengarten explores the themes and associations invoked by her own evocative objects, which are frequently shabby things of no material value. They are, importantly, often objects that, in their materiality, bear traces of actions, of something-having-been. Through the associative pathways that these objects have paved, she discusses her experiences with the losses she has undergone, her family’s migrations, and what it means to be a childless woman. This leads her to address the question of what will become of her storied objects and the memories attached to them when she is no longer in existence.This memoir offers an interdisciplinary approach to collecting and compiling fragments of one’s life, paying close attention to the evocative objects that embody us. In doing so, these essays explore loss, memory, childlessness, longing, family history, literature and art theory through material entities which reveal the immaterial ‘things’ at the heart of this study. This book is sure to be of interest to anyone stimulated by memory work and the relationship between humans and their possessions. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0285_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643741 06 15 9781800643758 06 15 9781800643765 06 15 9781800646704 06 15 9781800643796 06 15 9781800643772 06 15 9781800643789 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0285 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0285.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:7b23dbc9-0b00-4016-bdfe-1e09c07292c2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7b23dbc9-0b00-4016-bdfe-1e09c07292c2 15 9781783742707 06 10.11647/OBP.0078 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 Security in a Small Nation Scotland, Democracy, Politics 1 B01 Andrew W.

Levels of public interest and engagement were unprecedented, as demonstrated by record-breaking voter turnout. Yet aside from Trident, the issue of security was relatively neglected in the campaigns, and there remains a lack of literature on the topic. In this volume Andrew Neal has collated a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives on security and constitutional change in Scotland and the UK, including writing from experts in foreign policy analysis, intelligence studies, parliamentary studies, and journalism.Security in a Small Nation provides an illuminating analysis of the politics of security. Its authors reflect on a number of related issues including international comparisons, alliances, regional cooperation, terrorism, intelligence sharing, democratic oversight, and media coverage. It has a particular focus on what security means for small states and democratic politics. <break/>The book draws on current debates about the extent of intelligence powers and their implications for accountability, privacy, and human rights. It examines the foreign and security policy of other small states through the prism of Scottish independence, providing unique insight into the bureaucratic and political processes associated with multi-level security governance. These contributions provide a detailed picture of the changing landscape of security, including the role of diverse and decentralised agencies, and new security interdependencies within and between states.The analysis presented in this book will inform ongoing constitutional debates in the UK and the study of other secessionist movements around the world. Security in a Small Nation is essential reading for any follower of UK and Scottish politics, and those with an interest in security and nationhood on a global scale. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0078_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Edinburgh Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783742684 06 15 9781783742691 06 15 9781783742707 06 15 9781800645011 06 15 9781783745869 06 15 9781783742714 06 15 9781783742721 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0078.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0078 99 04 urn:uuid:de4d3343-5304-4a6f-8edb-a8eff851a4b3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:de4d3343-5304-4a6f-8edb-a8eff851a4b3 15 9781800647275 06 10.11647/OBP.0299 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Sefer ha-Pardes by Jedaiah ha-Penini A Critical Edition with English Translation 1 A01 David Torollo 01 eng 02 heb 00 184 03 12 2CSJ 10 POE000000 20 Sefer ha-Pardes 12 DC 10 FOR011000 20 Provençal Jewish author 12 DSC 20 Jedaiah ha-Penini 10 LAN009010 12 CFF 20 musar 12 CFP 20 wise epigrams 20 meshalim 20 English-Hebrew parallel text 01 06 03 00 This groundbreaking new work is the first full critical edition and English translation of the Hebrew book Sefer ha-Pardes [The Book of the Orchard], written at the end of the thirteenth century by the Provençal Jewish author Jedaiah ha-Penini. It is purportedly an example of musar: a compilation of wise epigrams and meshalim [parables] that teach moral lessons on different topics, such as the service of God, friendship, the deceitfulness of the world, medicine, logic, music, magic, and poetry. However, it is in reality a compendium of sayings that reveal the author’s personal views and feelings on a variety of religious topics, secular sciences, and their practitioners. David Torollo presents a fluent and illuminating English-Hebrew parallel text based on four sixteenth-century witnesses: three manuscripts and a printed edition. A rigorous study accompanies and contextualises the Hebrew work, exploring Sefer ha-Pardes’s transmission and reception in different places over time; its structure and content; its place in the intellectual environment and literary tradition of Provence; and possible lines of enquiry for future research. This essential new work offers a significant contribution to scholarship in the field of Medieval Hebrew Hispano-Provencal literature. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0299_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647251 06 15 9781800647268 06 15 9781800647275 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0299.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0299 99 04 urn:uuid:d6dc2d29-c954-472c-8bc8-ee7a8f2399ca 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d6dc2d29-c954-472c-8bc8-ee7a8f2399ca 15 9781805116981 06 10.11647/OBP.0488 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Sensing Violence Reading with the Marquis de Sade 1 A01 Will McMorran 01 eng 00 266 03 93 DSB 10 LIT004150 20 Marquis de Sade 04 PQ2063.S3 93 DSK 20 Embodied Cognition 10 LIT025000 93 DSBH 10 LIT007000 20 Violence 93 JBFK 10 LIT004290 20 Pedagogy 93 JMR 10 PSY008000 20 Translation Studies 20 Pornography 10 SOC051000 01 06 03 00 What does reading fictional violence do to us as readers? To find out, this provocative and original book turns to the works of an author synonymous with sexual violence: the Marquis de Sade. Drawing on psychology, cognitive literary studies, and empirical research, it argues that reading is a fundamentally embodied act – and one that implicates us far more than we might like to think in fictional depictions of violence.This book turns not just to Sade for answers, but to his readers. Where previous studies have focussed either on Sade’s language or his philosophy, this one places the lived experience of actual readers at the heart of its investigations. Taking particular scenes from Sade’s fiction, from a young girl posing as a statue in ‘Eugénie de Franval’ to the brutal rape of the heroine of Justine, this book explores what happens not just on the page but in the minds and bodies of readers as they bring these scenes to life.Drawing on questionnaires completed by readers of those scenes, and on his own experience as a reader, teacher and translator of Sade, the author challenges the disembodied approach that has dominated Sade studies and literary criticism more broadly over recent decades. This is not just a book about Sade—it’s a radical exploration of what happens to us when we are confronted with scenes of violence. Urgent, accessible, and personal, it offers a new model for understanding reading as a matter of making sensations as well as making sense. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0488_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Queen Mary, University of London Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116967 06 15 9781805116974 06 15 9781805116981 06 15 9781805117001 06 15 9781805116998 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0488 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0488.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:43291d43-a02b-489f-8c3e-f281c557862f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:43291d43-a02b-489f-8c3e-f281c557862f 15 9781800641006 06 10.11647/OBP.0239 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Shaping the Digital Dissertation Knowledge Production in the Arts and Humanities 1 B01 21 0000-0002-3608-0132 Virginia Kuhn 2 B01 21 0000-0001-8448-314X Anke Finger 01 eng 00 290 03 20 digital dissertation 10 EDU037000 12 JNT 04 Z692.E42 20 academic research 12 H 10 TEC000000 20 interactive dissertation 12 JNV 12 CAL 20 paper dissertation 20 digital projects 12 U 01 06 03 00 Digital dissertations have been a part of academic research for years now, yet there are still many questions surrounding their processes. Are interactive dissertations significantly different from their paper-based counterparts? What are the effects of digital projects on doctoral education? How does one choose and defend a digital dissertation? This book explores the wider implications of digital scholarship across institutional, geographic, and disciplinary divides.The volume is arranged in two sections: the first, written by senior scholars, addresses conceptual concerns regarding the direction and assessment of digital dissertations in the broader context of doctoral education. The second section consists of case studies by PhD students whose research resulted in a natively digital dissertation that they have successfully defended. These early-career researchers have been selected to represent a range of disciplines and institutions.Despite the profound effect of incorporated digital tools on dissertations, the literature concerning them is limited. This volume aims to provide a fresh, up-to-date view on the digital dissertation, considering the newest technological advances. It is especially relevant in the European context where digital dissertations, mostly in arts-based research, are more popular.Shaping the Digital Dissertation aims to provide insights, precedents and best practices to graduate students, doctoral advisors, institutional agents, and dissertation committees. As digital dissertations have a potential impact on the state of research as a whole, this edited collection will be a useful resource for the wider academic community and anyone interested in the future of doctoral studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0239_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Connecticut Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640986 06 15 9781800640993 06 15 9781800641006 06 15 9781800646407 06 15 9781800641037 06 15 9781800641013 06 15 9781800641020 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0239.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0239 99 04 urn:uuid:b9db4ecc-942b-4446-8062-6fb4501c7159 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b9db4ecc-942b-4446-8062-6fb4501c7159 15 9781800648029 06 10.11647/OBP.0312 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Shépa The Tibetan Oral Tradition in Choné 1 A01 Bendi Tso 2 A01 Marnyi Gyatso 3 A01 Naljor Tsering 4 A01 21 0000-0002-2262-0986 Mark Turin 5 A01 Members of the Choné Tibetan Community 01 chi 01 eng 01 tib 00 804 03 93 AVLT 12 CFF 10 LAN009010 20 Oral poetry 04 PL3735 93 CFP 20 community-led edition 12 HBTD 10 LAN009050 12 2GD 93 FNM 20 linguistics 10 SOC002010 12 2GDT 10 SOC008000 20 Tibetan oral literature 20 Choné 12 JFHF 10 SOC011000 20 anthropology 12 JFSL 10 LAN023000 12 1FPC 10 MUS015000 12 1FPCT 01 06 03 00 Shépa: ‘explanation’ or ‘elucidation’ in Tibetan.<break/>A form of oral poetry sung antiphonally in a question-and-answer style.This book contains a unique collection of Tibetan oral narrations and songs known as Shépa, as these have been performed, recorded and shared between generations of Choné Tibetans from Amdo living in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Presented in trilingual format — in Tibetan, Chinese and English — the book reflects a sustained collaboration with and between members of the local community, including narrators, monks, and scholars, calling attention to the diversity inherent in all oral traditions, and the mutability of Shépa in particular.From creation myths to Bon and Buddhist cosmologies and even wedding songs, Shépa engages with and draws on elements of religious traditions, historical legacies and deep-seated cultural memories within Choné and Tibet, revealing the multi-layered conceptualization of the Tibetan physical world and the resilience of Tibetan communities within it. This vital and unique collection, part of the World Oral Literature Series, situates Shépa in its ethnographic context, offering insights into the preservation and revitalization of intangible cultural heritage in the context of cultural Tibet, Indigenous studies and beyond.Scholars and students in the fields of anthropology, linguistics, ethnic and minority relations, critical Indigenous studies, Tibetan studies, Himalayan studies, Asian studies and the broader study of China will find much to reward them in this book, as will all readers interested in the documentation and preservation of endangered oral traditions, intangible cultural heritage, performance and textuality, and Tibetan literature and religions. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0312_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648005 06 15 9781800648012 06 15 9781800648029 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0312.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0312 99 04 urn:uuid:4c68161b-5e01-4fde-9ca7-31da46ab9962 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4c68161b-5e01-4fde-9ca7-31da46ab9962 15 9781800640856 06 10.11647/OBP.0234 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Terrestrial Mammal Conservation Global Evidence for the Effects of Interventions for Terrestrial Mammals Excluding Bats and Primates 1 A01 21 0000-0003-4461-8833 Nick A.

Actions are organized into categories based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature classifications of direct threats and conservation actions. Over the course of fifteen chapters, the authors consider interventions as wide ranging as creating uncultivated margins around fields, prescribed burning, setting hunting quotas and removing non-native mammals.This book is written in an accessible style and is designed to be an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with the practical conservation of terrestrial mammals.The authors consulted an international group of terrestrial mammal experts and conservationists to produce this synopsis. Funding was provided by the MAVA Foundation, Arcadia and National Geographic Big Cats Initiative.Terrestrial Mammal Conservation is the seventeenth publication in the Conservation Evidence Series, linked to the online resource www.ConservationEvidence.com. Conservation Evidence Synopses are designed to promote a more evidence-based approach to biodiversity conservation. Others in the series include Bat Conservation, Primate Conservation, Bird Conservation and Forest Conservation and more are in preparation. Expert assessment of the evidence summarised within synopses is provided online and within the annual publication What Works in Conservation. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0234_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 MAVA Foundation 16 Arcadia Fund 16 National Geographic Big Cats Initiative Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781800640832 06 15 9781800640849 06 15 9781800640856 06 15 9781800646377 06 15 9781800640887 06 15 9781800640863 06 15 9781800640870 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0234 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0234.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:5865bc7a-13ca-439e-b454-03f4a936f4af 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5865bc7a-13ca-439e-b454-03f4a936f4af 15 9781906924263 06 10.11647/OBP.0008 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 10 01 02 Digital Humanities Series 01 01 Text and Genre in Reconstruction Effects of Digitalization on Ideas, Behaviours, Products and Institutions 1 B01 Willard McCarty 01 eng 00 257 03 20 Digitization 10 LIT000000 04 QA76.9.C66 12 UBJ 12 CF 20 cybertext 10 LAN009000 10 COM087000 12 H 20 identity 10 COM065000 20 computers 12 U 12 D 20 electronic editions 20 newspapers 20 publishing 20 online journalism 20 digital text 20 linguistics 20 information technology 01 06 03 00 In this broad-reaching, multi-disciplinary collection, leading scholars investigate how the digital medium has altered the way we read and write text. In doing so, it challenges the very notion of scholarship as it has traditionally been imagined. Incorporating scientific, socio-historical, materialist and theoretical approaches, this rich body of work explores topics ranging from how computers have affected our relationship to language, whether the book has become an obsolete object, the nature of online journalism, and the psychology of authorship. The essays offer a significant contribution to the growing debate on how digitization is shaping our collective identity, for better or worse. Text and Genre in Reconstruction will appeal to scholars in both the humanities and sciences and provides essential reading for anyone interested in the changing relationship between reader and text in the digital age. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0008_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2010 06 15 9781906924249 06 15 9781906924256 06 15 9781906924263 06 15 9781800644359 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0008.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0008 99 04 urn:uuid:ca9bf45b-fa62-4b06-af91-c7e5bda64622 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ca9bf45b-fa62-4b06-af91-c7e5bda64622 15 9781783743650 06 10.11647/OBP.0120 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Text Genetics in Literary Modernism and Other Essays 1 A01 Hans Walter Gabler 01 eng 00 410 03 12 DS 10 LIT024000 04 P47 20 textual criticism 12 DSK 20 genetic criticism 10 LIT004130 10 COM087000 20 literary criticism 12 U 20 composition 20 canonisation 20 book design 20 digital scholarly editing 01 06 03 00 This collection of essays from world-renowned scholar Hans Walter Gabler contains writings from a decade and a half of retirement spent in exploration of textual criticism, genetic criticism, and literary criticism. In these sixteen stimulating contributions, he develops theories of textual criticism and editing that are inflected by our advance into the digital era; structurally analyses arts of composition in literature as well as music; and traces the cultural implications discernible in book design, and in the societal processes of the canonisation of works of literature and their authors.Distinctive and ambitious, these essays move beyond the development of concerns voiced in the community of critics and scholars. Gabler responds innovatively to the issues involved and often endeavours to re-think their urgencies through allowing orthodox tenets of national schools of textual criticism to converge and merge. He moves between a variety of topics, ranging from fresh genetic approaches to the work of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, to significant contributions to the theorisation of scholarly editing in the digital age.Written in Gabler’s fluent style, these rich and elegant compositions are essential reading for literary and textual critics, scholarly editors, readers of James Joyce, New Modernism specialists, and all those interested in textual scholarship and digital editing within the encompassing framework of Digital Humanities. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0120_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783743636 06 15 9781783743643 06 15 9781783743650 06 15 9781800645394 06 15 9781783744879 06 15 9781783743667 06 15 9781783743674 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0120.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0120 99 04 urn:uuid:9787df40-8b86-4d8c-8a23-8260ec90011a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9787df40-8b86-4d8c-8a23-8260ec90011a 15 9781906924027 06 10.11647/OBP.0001 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 That Greece Might Still Be Free The Philhellenes in the War of Independence 1 A01 William St Clair 2 Z01 Roderick Beaton 01 eng 00 440 03 04 DF807 20 Greece 12 HBJD 10 HIS042000 12 1DVG 20 Greek History 10 HIS054000 12 3JH 10 HIS037060 20 Lord Byron 20 War of Independence 20 Philhellenes 20 war 20 history 20 Romanticism 01 06 03 00 When in 1821, the Greeks rose in violent revolution against the rule of the Ottoman Turks, waves of sympathy spread across Western Europe and the United States. More than a thousand volunteers set out to fight for the cause. The Philhellenes, whether they set out to recreate the Athens of Pericles, start a new crusade, or make money out of a war, all felt that Greece had unique claim on the sympathy of the world. As Lord Byron wrote, "I dreamed that Greece might still be Free"; and he died at Missolonghi trying to translate that dream into reality. William St Clair's meticulously researched and highly readable account of their aspirations and experiences was hailed as definitive when it was first published. Long out of print, it remains the standard account of the Philhellenic movement and essential reading for any students of the Greek War of Independence, Byron, and European Romanticism. Its relevance to more modern ethnic and religious conflicts is becoming increasingly appreciated by scholars worldwide. This revised edition includes a new introduction by Roderick Beaton, an updated bibliography and many new illustrations. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0001_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2008 06 15 9781906924003 06 15 9781906924010 06 15 9781906924027 06 15 9781800644281 06 15 9781906924027 06 15 9781906924027 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0001 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0001.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:6125b7d1-35eb-450c-ad74-16e5edcf7f3f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6125b7d1-35eb-450c-ad74-16e5edcf7f3f 15 9781906924058 06 10.11647/OBP.0002 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 The Altering Eye Contemporary International Cinema 1 A01 21 0000-0001-9820-800X Robert Phillip Kolker 01 eng 00 347 03 12 APFA 20 Cinema 10 PER004030 04 PN1995 20 film 10 PER004010 20 movies 20 film studies 20 Jean-Luc Godard 20 Rainer Maria Fassbinder 20 Glauber Rocha 20 Joseph Losey 20 New German Cinema 20 European film 01 06 03 00 The Altering Eye covers a "golden age" of international cinema from the end of WWII through to the New German Cinema of the 1970s. Combining historical, political, and textual analysis, Kolker develops a pattern of cinematic invention and experimentation from neorealism through the modernist interventions of Jean-Luc Godard and Rainer Maria Fassbinder, focusing along the way on such major figures as Luis Buñuel, Joseph Losey, the Brazilian director Glauber Rocha, and the work of major Cuban filmmakers. Kolker’s book has become a much quoted classic in the field of film studies providing essential reading for anybody interested in understanding the history of European and international cinema.

Best known for 'The Uprooted' (1951), his groundbreaking work on immigration, Handlin was equally a generalist whose insights reached nearly every corner of the American past. The collection at hand, Handlin’s classic anthology 'This Was America', first published in 1949, gathers Europeans’ travel accounts and perspectives on America from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Rather than presenting a single narrative, Handlin emphasizes variety: contrasting impressions of liberty and inequality, restlessness and rootedness, optimism and critique by people arriving from diverse European backgrounds. His free translations and selective introductions guide readers subtly but leave interpretation open. Over time, these essays shift meaning depending on context—once read as a celebration of American life, they now invite more critical reflection. This new edition reimagines America not as a singular whole but as an “archipelago”: a collection of diverse experiences, perceptions, and contradictions. The metaphor underscores the interplay between unity and multiplicity in American identity. Students, historians, anthropologists, and literary scholars alike will find in these essays a vivid, sometimes unsettling, mosaic of how America has been seen from abroad—raising as many questions as answers, and encouraging readers to reflect on the nation’s complexity anew. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0495_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 02 06 15 9781805117278 06 15 9781805117285 06 15 9781805117292 06 15 9781805117315 06 15 9781805117308 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0495.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0495 99 04 urn:uuid:2de0dafa-1843-47cc-a55f-0e557fa87cf9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2de0dafa-1843-47cc-a55f-0e557fa87cf9 15 9781783740291 06 10.11647/OBP.0041 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Anglo-Scottish Ballad and its Imaginary Contexts 1 A01 David Atkinson 01 eng 00 226 03 20 Ballads 12 DS 10 LIT004120 04 PR507 20 ballad studies 12 DSB 10 LIT000000 20 folk songs 20 oral transmission 20 textual scholarship 20 critique génétique 01 06 03 00 This is the first book to combine contemporary debates in ballad studies with the insights of modern textual scholarship. Just like canonical literature and music, the ballad should not be seen as a uniquely authentic item inextricably tied to a documented source, but rather as an unstable structure subject to the vagaries of production, reception, and editing. Among the matters addressed are topics central to the subject, including ballad origins, oral and printed transmission, sound and writing, agency and editing, and textual and melodic indeterminacy and instability. While drawing on the time-honoured materials of ballad studies, the book offers a theoretical framework for the discipline to complement the largely ethnographic approach that has dominated in recent decades. Primarily directed at the community of ballad and folk song scholars, the book will be of interest to researchers in several adjacent fields, including folklore, oral literature, ethnomusicology, and textual scholarship. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0041_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781783740277 06 15 9781783740284 06 15 9781783740291 06 15 9781800644687 06 15 9781783740307 06 15 9781783740314 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0041 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0041.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f353c08f-8cdb-47b9-9ca2-56782942878a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f353c08f-8cdb-47b9-9ca2-56782942878a 15 9781805114796 06 10.11647/OBP.0442 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Art of Becoming Infinite Mou Zongsan’s Vertical Rethinking of Self and Subjectivity 1 A01 Gabriella Stanchina 01 eng 00 368 03 04 B5234.M674 20 Mou Zongsan 10 PHI003000 93 QDHC 20 Chinese philosophy of the self 93 JMS 10 PHI026000 93 1FPC 20 Comparative philosophy 10 PHI016000 20 Moral self-cultivation 10 PHI005000 10 REL000000 20 Subjectivity and self-consciousness 20 Eastern vs. Western philosophical models 01 06 03 00 Mou Zongsan is arguably the most important Chinese philosopher of the twentieth century. This work delves into the philosopher's exploration of self and subjectivity, setting Mou Zongsan’s theories against Western paradigms. Mou contrasts Western ‘horizontal’ model, based on the separation of subject and object, and aimed at cognitive enhancement, with the ‘vertical’ view dominant in the Confucian and Daoist tradition. The vertical model has, at its core, a practical-performative interpretation of the subject, based on the moral self-cultivation. This spiritual cultivation enables the finite human being to ‘become infinite,’ embodying the original unlimited moral mind that constitutes the Self and the universe.In addressing fundamental questions of self-consciousness and self-identity, the book contextualizes Mou's philosophy within contemporary discussions in neuroscience and cognitive science. By placing Mou's ideas in dialogue with Western thought—examining thinkers like Husserl, Kant, Hegel, and Lévinas—as well as with Daoist and Confucian vision of mind, this work opens a pathway to understanding selfhood beyond purely epistemological boundaries.This book will be of interest to readers and scholars interested in the contemporary debate about mind and the Self, as well as those intrigued by the new horizons opened by a cross-cultural Western-Chinese approach to subjectivity. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0442_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114772 06 15 9781805114789 06 15 9781805114796 06 15 9781805114819 06 15 9781805114802 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0442.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0442 99 04 urn:uuid:15c4038a-863a-4ce6-ab9e-2674ead655c3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:15c4038a-863a-4ce6-ab9e-2674ead655c3 15 9781783748983 06 10.11647/OBP.0199 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Atheist's Bible Diderot's 'Éléments de physiologie' 1 A01 Caroline Warman 01 eng 00 442 03 04 B825 20 Diderot 12 HP 10 PHI000000 12 DSB 10 LIT004150 20 philosophy 12 DN 10 LIT024030 20 man 12 3J 20 matter 20 mind 20 body 20 emotion 20 perception 20 human 20 soul 20 materialism 20 nature 20 Naigeon 20 Enlightenment 01 06 03 00 ‘Love is harder to explain than hunger, for a piece of fruit does not feel the desire to be eaten’: Denis Diderot’s Éléments de physiologie presents a world in flux, turning on the relationship between man, matter and mind. In this late work, Diderot delves playfully into the relationship between bodily sensation, emotion and perception, and asks his readers what it means to be human in the absence of a soul.The Atheist’s Bible challenges prevailing scholarly views on Diderot’s Éléments, asserting its contemporary philosophical importance, and prompting its readers to inspect more closely this little-known and little-studied work. This book is accompanied by a digital edition of Jacques-André Naigeon’s Mémoires historiques et philosophiques sur la vie et les ouvrages de Denis Diderot (1823), a work which, Warman argues, represents the first publication of Diderot’s Éléments, long before its official publication date of 1875.The Atheist’s Bible constitutes a major contribution to the field of Diderot studies, and will be of further interest to scholars and students of materialist natural philosophy in the Age of Enlightenment and beyond. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0199_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Oxford Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748969 06 15 9781783748976 06 15 9781783748983 06 15 9781800646100 06 15 9781783749010 06 15 9781783748990 06 15 9781783749003 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0199 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0199.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:41aed95c-de6c-4b37-b533-fe79af56cf82 03 01 01 urn:uuid:41aed95c-de6c-4b37-b533-fe79af56cf82 15 9781783742608 06 10.11647/OBP.0099 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Applied Theatre Praxis 01 01 Theatre and War Notes from the Field 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6864-692X Nandita Dinesh 01 eng 00 210 03 12 AN 10 PER011000 04 PN2041.W37 20 theatre 12 ANF 10 PER011010 20 performances 12 JH 10 SOC002010 20 war 20 etnography 12 JPWS 20 community theatre 12 JWXK 20 ethics 01 06 03 00 Nandita Dinesh places Kipling’s "six honest serving-men" (who, what, when, where, why, how) in productive conversation with her own experiences in conflict zones across the world to offer a theoretical and practical reflection on making theatre in times of war. This timely and important book weaves together Dinesh’s personal narrative with the public story of modern conflict, illustrating as it does, the importance of theatre as a force for ethical deliberation and social justice. In it Dinesh asks how theatre might intervene in times and places of conflict and how we might reflect on such interventions. In pursuit of answers, Theatre and War adopts the methods of auto-ethnography, positioning the theatrical practitioner at the heart of conflict zones in northern Uganda, Guatemala, Northern Ireland, Mexico, Rwanda, Kenya, Nagaland, and Kashmir. No longer a detached observer, the researcher and practitioner has to be able to meld theory with practice; to speak to ‘doing’, without undervaluing the importance of ‘thinking about doing’.<break/>Each chapter approaches the need for a synthesis of theory and practice by way of a term of inquiry―Why, Where, Who, What, When―and each is equipped with a set of unflinchingly honest field notes that are designed to reveal some of the ‘hows’ from the author’s own repertoire: questions and issues that were encountered during her own theatrical undertakings, along with first hand reflection on the complexities, potential, and challenges that attended her global work in community theatre. Within these notes are strategies that give the reader a practical insight into how the discussion might find its footing on the ground of war.<break/>The range and scope of this book make it required reading for those interested in theatre―practitioners, researchers, and students alike—as well as those seeking to understand the applications of the arts for ethics, politics, and education. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0099_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742585 06 15 9781783742592 06 15 9781783742608 06 15 9781800645189 06 15 9781783746286 06 15 9781783742615 06 15 9781783742622 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0099.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0099 99 04 urn:uuid:bf6e850b-a520-4e9a-94fb-56228455f988 03 01 01 urn:uuid:bf6e850b-a520-4e9a-94fb-56228455f988 15 9781783745777 06 10.11647/OBP.0154 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Bavarian Commentary and Ovid Clm 4610, The Earliest Documented Commentary on the 'Metamorphoses' 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3285-7493 Robin Wahlsten Böckerman 01 eng 00 398 03 20 critical edition 12 DB 04 PA6519.M9 12 DCF 20 translation 12 CFP 20 Ovid 20 Metamorphoses 20 Bavarian Commentary 20 ancient literature 20 medieval readers 20 Munich Bayerische Staatsbibliothek clm 4610 01 06 03 00 The Bavarian Commentary and Ovid is the first complete critical edition and translation of the earliest preserved commentary on Ovid’s Metamorphoses.Today, Ovid’s famous work is one of the touchstones of ancient literature, but we have only a handful of scraps and quotations to show how the earliest medieval readers received and discussed the poems—until the Munich Bayerische Staatsbibliothek clm 4610. This commentary, which dates from around the year 1100 is the first systematic study of the Metamorphoses, founding a tradition of scholarly study that extends to the present day.Despite its significance, this medieval commentary has never before been published or analysed as a whole. Böckerman’s groundbreaking work includes a critical edition of the entire manuscript, together with a lucid English translation and a rigorous and stimulating introduction, which sets the work in its historical, geographical and linguistic contexts with precision and clarity while offering a rigorous analysis of its form and function.The Bavarian Commentary and Ovid is essential reading for academics concerned with the reception of Ovid or that of other ancient authors. It will also be of great interest for Classical scholars, those investigating medieval commentaries and media history, and for anyone intrigued to know more about how the work of Ovid has echoed through history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0154_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783745753 06 15 9781783745760 06 15 9781783745777 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0154.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0154 99 04 urn:uuid:ccd335c1-921a-4a0b-9235-463c0e70c078 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ccd335c1-921a-4a0b-9235-463c0e70c078 15 9781800647657 06 10.11647/OBP.0305 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Bible in the Bowls A Catalogue of Biblical Quotations in Published Jewish Babylonian Aramaic Magic Bowls 1 A01 Daniel James Waller 2 Z01 Dorota Molin 01 eng 00 196 03 20 Hebrew Bible quotations 12 HRCG 04 PJ5208.A2 10 REL006020 12 2CSA 20 Jewish Babylonian Aramaic magic bowls 10 LAN009010 12 HRJ 20 oral transmission of the Bible 10 REL040010 12 JFSR1 20 late antiquity 20 pre-Masoretic Babylonian vocalisation tradition 20 Jewish prayer book 20 late antique Babylonia 20 scriptural citation 20 ancient Jewish magic 01 06 03 00 The Bible in the Bowls represents a complete catalogue of Hebrew Bible quotations found in the published corpus of Jewish Babylonian Aramaic magic bowls. As our only direct epigraphic witnesses to the Hebrew Bible from late antique Babylonia, the bowls are uniquely placed to contribute to research on the (oral) transmission of the biblical text in late antiquity; the pre-Masoretic Babylonian vocalisation tradition; the formation of the liturgy and the early development of the Jewish prayer book; the social locations of biblical knowledge in late antique Babylonia and socio-religious typologies of the bowls; and the dynamics of scriptural citation in ancient Jewish magic. In a number of cases, the bowls also contain the earliest attestations of biblical verses not found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Pre-dating the next available evidence by four to five centuries, the bowls are a valuable resource for biblical text critics.By making these valuable witnesses to the Hebrew Bible easily available to scholars, The Bible in the Bowls is designed to facilitate further research by linguists, liturgists, biblical text critics, and students of Jewish magic. It collates and transcribes each biblical verse as it appears in the published bowls, furnishes details of the bowls’ publication, and notes various features of interest. The catalogue is also accompanied by an accessible introduction that briefly introduces the incantation bowls, surveys their deployment of scripture in light of their magical goals, and discusses the orthography of the quotations and what this can tell us about the encounter with the biblical text in late antique Babylonia. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0305_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647633 06 15 9781800647640 06 15 9781800647657 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0305.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0305 99 04 urn:uuid:f56ab50d-1eb9-4168-930a-d0b82c96cbfb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f56ab50d-1eb9-4168-930a-d0b82c96cbfb 15 9781805114215 06 10.11647/OBP.0430 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Birds That Wouldn’t Sing Remembering the D-Day Wrens 1 A01 21 0000-0003-4141-9150 Justin Smith 01 eng 00 562 03 04 D810.W7 10 HIS027000 93 NHWR7 20 Wrens 20 D-Day 10 HIS027090 93 NHW 93 1DDU 20 Archival History 10 HIS058000 20 Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay 10 BIO008000 93 DNBH 10 HIS015070 20 Operation Overlord 20 Women's Military Service 20 World War II 20 Women's Royal Naval Service 20 Family History 20 Letters 20 Memoir 01 06 03 00 This compelling book offers a unique perspective on D-Day and its aftermath through the personal testimonies of the Wrens who worked for Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay during Operation Overlord. Drawing on public and private archives, it reveals the untold stories of the women serving in the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS), balancing their wartime contributions with the strictures of secrecy and censorship. The narrative is framed by letters from these Wrens, which provide intimate glimpses into both the personal and professional challenges they faced during World War II.The book captures the atmosphere of war as experienced by British auxiliaries. It highlights the Wrens' vital but often overlooked role in the D-Day planning effort and beyond, revealing the surreal coexistence of the ordinary and extraordinary in wartime. Focusing in particular on the wartime archive of one of the Wrens, Joan Prior, the author brings to life the contribution of these women to the war effort, while also offering insights into British, French, and German morale and culture. This thoughtful and moving account adds depth to the broader historical narrative of World War II, making it a valuable addition for both the general reader and the professional historian. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0430_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805114192 06 15 9781805114208 06 15 9781805114215 06 15 9781805114239 06 15 9781805114222 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0430.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0430 99 04 urn:uuid:680cd745-edbf-406f-9976-1ebfebbb6c93 03 01 01 urn:uuid:680cd745-edbf-406f-9976-1ebfebbb6c93 15 9781800643468 06 10.11647/OBP.0279 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Classical Parthenon Recovering the Strangeness of the Ancient World 1 A01 William St Clair 2 B01 21 0000-0002-1425-6985 Lucy Barnes 3 B01 David St Clair 01 eng 00 344 03 10 ARC005020 20 Athenian Acropolis 12 HBLL 04 NA281 12 1DVG 10 HIS042000 20 symbol of democracy 12 JFS 20 Parthenon 10 POL031000 20 classical Athenian worldview 20 temple structure 20 narrative analysis 01 06 03 00 Complementing Who Saved the Parthenon? this companion volume sets aside more recent narratives surrounding the Athenian Acropolis, supposedly ‘the very symbol of democracy itself’, instead asking if we can truly access an ancient past imputed with modern meaning. And, if so, how?In this book William St Clair presents a reconstructed understanding of the Parthenon from within the classical Athenian worldview. He explores its role and meaning by weaving together a range of textual and visual sources into two innovative oratorical experiments – a speech in the style of Thucydides and a first-century CE rhetorical exercise – which are used to develop a narrative analysis of the temple structure, revealing a strange story of indigeneity, origins, and empire.The Classical Parthenon offers new answers to old questions, such as the riddle of the Parthenon frieze, and provides a framing device for the wider relationship between visual artefacts, built heritage, and layers of accumulated cultural rhetoric. This groundbreaking and pertinent work will appeal across the disciplines to readers interested in the classics, art history, and the nature of history, while also speaking to a general audience that is interrogating the role of monuments in contemporary society. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0279_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643444 06 15 9781800643451 06 15 9781800643468 06 15 9781800646780 06 15 9781800643499 06 15 9781800643475 06 15 9781800643482 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0279.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0279 99 04 urn:uuid:49c185aa-8be6-4240-8508-ff80a46696a3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:49c185aa-8be6-4240-8508-ff80a46696a3 15 9781909254770 06 10.11647/OBP.0039 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Classic Short Story, 1870-1925 Theory of a Genre 1 A01 Florence Goyet 2 Z01 Yvonne Freccero 01 eng 01 fre 00 220 03 20 Florence Goyet 12 FYB 10 LIT018000 04 PN441 12 DSK 20 Guy de Maupassant 10 LIT020000 20 Henry James 20 Giovanni Verga 20 Anton Chekhov 20 Akutagawa Ryūnosuke 20 Short Stories 01 06 03 00 The ability to construct a nuanced narrative or complex character in the constrained form of the short story has sometimes been seen as the ultimate test of an author's creativity. Yet during the time when the short story was at its most popular - the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - even the greatest writers followed strict generic conventions that were far from subtle. This expanded and updated translation of Florence Goyet's influential La Nouvelle, 1870-1925: Description d'un genre à son apogée (Paris, 1993) is the only study to focus exclusively on this classic period across different continents. Ranging through French, English, Italian, Russian and Japanese writing - particularly the stories of Guy de Maupassant, Henry James, Giovanni Verga, Anton Chekhov and Akutagawa Ryūnosuke - Goyet shows that these authors were able to create brilliant and successful short stories using the very simple 'tools of brevity' of that period. In this challenging and far-reaching study, Goyet looks at classic short stories in the context in which they were read at the time: cheap newspapers and higher-end periodicals. She demonstrates that, despite the apparent intention of these stories to question bourgeois ideals, they mostly affirmed the prejudices of their readers. In doing so, her book forces us to re-think our preconceptions about this 'forgotten' genre. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0039_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781909254756 06 15 9781909254763 06 15 9781909254770 06 15 9781800644663 06 15 9781783744206 06 15 9781909254787 06 15 9781909254794 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0039.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0039 99 04 urn:uuid:945bedcd-435c-49f5-9fc6-c704f6da5a10 03 01 01 urn:uuid:945bedcd-435c-49f5-9fc6-c704f6da5a10 15 9781783747931 06 10.11647/OBP.0184 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The DARPA Model for Transformative Technologies Perspectives on the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 1 B01 William Boone Bonvillian 2 B01 Richard Van Atta 3 B01 Patrick Windham 01 eng 00 508 03 12 KCP 10 TEC025000 04 U394.A75 20 U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 20 DARPA 12 JP 10 TEC056000 12 JPP 10 POL063000 20 transformative technologies 12 TBX 20 U.S. Government 20 DARPA model 01 06 03 00 The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has played a remarkable role in the creation new transformative technologies, revolutionizing defense with drones and precision-guided munitions, and transforming civilian life with portable GPS receivers, voice-recognition software, self-driving cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, and, most famously, the ARPANET and its successor, the Internet.Other parts of the U.S. Government and some foreign governments have tried to apply the ‘DARPA model’ to help develop valuable new technologies. But how and why has DARPA succeeded? Which features of its operation and environment contribute to this success?

Informative and insightful, this guide is essential reading for political and policy leaders, as well as researchers and students interested in understanding the success of this agency and the lessons it offers to others. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0184_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783747917 06 15 9781783747924 06 15 9781783747931 06 15 9781800645967 06 15 9781783747962 06 15 9781783747948 06 15 9781783747955 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0184 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0184.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f0b680d2-068b-4ada-b08e-b5fc1cb52237 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f0b680d2-068b-4ada-b08e-b5fc1cb52237 15 9781805112624 06 10.11647/OBP.0396 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Diagrammatics of ‘Race’ Visualizing Human Relatedness in the History of Physical, Evolutionary, and Genetic Anthropology, ca. 1770-2020 1 A01 Marianne Sommer 01 eng 00 372 03 20 diagrams 04 GN34.3.C43 12 J 93 JBSL1 10 SOC070000 20 anthropology 93 JBSL13 12 JFSL1 10 SOC002010 12 JHM 93 JHM 20 race and diversity 10 SOC008000 20 history of science 12 JHMC 93 JHMC 20 visual representation 20 family trees 01 06 03 00 This is the first book that engages with the history of diagrams in physical, evolutionary, and genetic anthropology. Since their establishment as scientific tools for classification in the eighteenth century, diagrams have been used to determine but also to deny kinship between human groups. In nineteenth-century craniometry, they were omnipresent in attempts to standardize measurements on skulls for hierarchical categorization. In particular the ’human family tree’ was central for evolutionary understandings of human diversity, being used on both sides of debates about whether humans constitute different species well into the twentieth century. With recent advances in (ancient) DNA analyses, the tree diagram has become more contested than ever―does human relatedness take the shape of a network? Are human individual genomes mosaics made up of different ancestries? Sommer examines the epistemic and political role of these visual representations in the history of ‘race’ as an anthropological category. How do such diagrams relate to imperial and (post-)colonial practices and ideologies but also to liberal and humanist concerns?The Diagrammatics of 'Race' concentrates on Western projects from the late 1700s into the present to diagrammatically define humanity, subdividing and ordering it, including the concomitant endeavors to acquire representative samples―bones, blood, or DNA―from all over the world. Contributing to the ‘diagrammatic turn’ in the humanities and social sciences, it reveals connections between diagrams in anthropology and other visual traditions, including in religion, linguistics, biology, genealogy, breeding, and eugenics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0396_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Lucerne Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112600 06 15 9781805112617 06 15 9781805112624 06 15 9781805112655 06 15 9781805112631 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0396 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0396.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:8ed75376-60fc-4921-99b5-db1fa509b79d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8ed75376-60fc-4921-99b5-db1fa509b79d 15 9781800642386 06 10.11647/OBP.0262 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Diaries of Anthony Hewitson, Provincial Journalist, Volume 1 1865–1887 1 B01 21 0000-0001-5943-475X Andrew Hobbs 01 eng 00 726 03 20 Anthony Hewitson 12 KNTJ 04 PN5123.A77 10 SOC052000 10 HIS015060 12 JFD 20 Victorian journalist 12 3JH 10 LAN008000 20 provincial newspaper 20 diaries 20 creation of Victorian newspapers 20 Victorian fatherhood 20 Victorian town 01 06 03 00 Anthony Hewitson (1836-1912) was a typical Victorian journalist, working in one of the largest sectors of the periodical press, provincial newspapers. His diaries, written between 1862 and 1912, lift the veil of anonymity hiding the people, processes and networks involved in the creation of Victorian newspapers. They also tell us about Victorian fatherhood, family life, and the culture of a Victorian town.Diaries of nineteenth-century provincial journalists are extremely rare. Anthony Hewitson went from printer’s apprentice to newspaper reporter and eventually editor of his own paper. Every night he jotted down the day’s doings, his thoughts and feelings. The diaries are a lively account of the reporter’s daily round, covering meetings and court cases, hunting for gossip or attending public executions and variety shows, in and around Preston, Lancashire.Andrew Hobbs’s introduction and footnotes provide background and analysis of these valuable documents. This full scholarly edition offers a wealth of new information about reporting, freelancing, sub-editing, newspaper ownership and publishing, and illuminates aspects of Victorian periodicals and culture extending far beyond provincial newspapers.The Diaries of Anthony Hewitson, Provincial Journalist are an indispensable research tool for local and regional historians, as well as social and political historians with an interest in Victorian studies and the media. They are also illuminating for anyone interested in nineteenth-century social and cultural history.Open Book Publishers gratefully acknowledge funding for this book from the Marc Fitch Fund, the Historic Society of Lancashire & Cheshire, and the University of Central Lancashire. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0262_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Marc Fitch Fund 16 University of Central Lancashire 16 Historic Society of Lancashire & Cheshire Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800642362 06 15 9781800642379 06 15 9781800642386 06 15 9781800646889 06 15 9781800642416 06 15 9781800642393 06 15 9781800642409 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0262.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0262 99 04 urn:uuid:2fc9d2a6-c527-4019-b3af-ff4ffb2fe2b8 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2fc9d2a6-c527-4019-b3af-ff4ffb2fe2b8 15 9781906924478 06 10.11647/OBP.0019 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10 01 02 Digital Humanities Series 01 01 The Digital Public Domain Foundations for an Open Culture 1 B01 Melanie Dulong de Rosnay 2 B01 21 0000-0002-7867-1926 Juan Carlos De Martin 3 Z01 Charles R.

Texts, audio, pictures and video can easily be produced, disseminated, used and remixed using devices that are increasingly user-friendly and affordable. However, along with this technological democratization comes a paradoxical flipside: the norms regulating culture's use —copyright and related rights —have become increasingly restrictive. This book brings together essays by academics, librarians, entrepreneurs, activists and policy makers, who were all part of the EU-funded Communia project. Together the authors argue that the Public Domain —that is, the informational works owned by all of us, be that literature, music, the output of scientific research, educational material or public sector information —is fundamental to a healthy society. The essays range from more theoretical papers on the history of copyright and the Public Domain, to practical examples and case studies of recent projects that have engaged with the principles of Open Access and Creative Commons licensing. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the current debate about copyright and the Internet. It opens up discussion and offers practical solutions to the difficult question of the regulation of culture at the digital age.

In this groundbreaking book, Mukesh Eswaran confronts these urgent questions through the lens of economics, focusing deeply on an underexplored aspect: the erosion of Indigenous culture. While empirical studies have shed some light on Indigenous struggles, Eswaran argues that mainstream economic theory fails to grasp the unique realities of Indigenous communities. His work introduces innovative models that incorporate cultural and communal values—particularly the sacredness of land and the importance of extended family and communal life—as foundational components of Indigenous well-being.Eswaran emphasizes that policies rooted in conventional economics, which often ignore culture, are ill-suited to address Indigenous issues, in particular, what has been identified as ‘Deaths of Despair’ among Indigenous Peoples. Drawing from Indigenous scholars and Elders, he shows how historical trauma—passed through generations—has systematically dismantled cultural and communal supports. His theoretical framework helps explain the rise in substance abuse and suicide, and points toward new, culturally sensitive policy approaches. While advancing economic theory relevant to Indigenous issues, the book also proposes a meaningful path toward healing and justice for Indigenous communities. It is a vital read for economists, policymakers, students, and anyone concerned with Indigenous history, well-being, equity and reconciliation. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0477_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116486 06 15 9781805116493 06 15 9781805116509 06 15 9781805116523 06 15 9781805116516 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0477.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0477 99 04 urn:uuid:511353d9-7541-404e-b87d-1254c54520dd 03 01 01 urn:uuid:511353d9-7541-404e-b87d-1254c54520dd 15 9781805113638 06 10.11647/OBP.0417 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Embassy, the Ambush, and the Ogre Greco-Roman Influence in Sanskrit Theater 1 A01 21 0000-0002-4752-8588 Roberto Morales-Harley 01 eng 00 288 03 93 ATD 10 PER011000 04 PK2907.G74 20 Sanskrit 93 DBSG 20 Greco-Roman 10 PER011020 93 2BBA 20 Epic poetry 20 Theatre 20 philological analysis 20 cultural exchange 01 06 03 00 This volume presents a sophisticated and intricate examination of the parallels between Sanskrit and Greco-Roman literature. By means of a philological and literary analysis, Morales-Harley hypothesizes that Greco-Roman literature was known, understood, and recreated in India. Moreover, it is argued that the techniques for adapting epic into theater could have been Greco-Roman influences in India, and that some of the elements adapted within the literary motifs (specifically the motifs of the embassy, the ambush, and the ogre) could have been Greco-Roman borrowings by Sanskrit authors.This book draws on a wide variety of sources, including Iliad, Phoenix, Rhesus and Cyclops (Greco-Roman) as well as Mahābhārata, The Embassy, The Five Nights and The Middle One (Sanskrit). The result is a well-supported argument which presents us with the possibility of cultural exchange between the Greco-Roman world and India – a possibility which, though hypothetical, is worth acknowledging.Due to its comparative nature, this volume will appeal to both Indologists and Classicists, including Mahābhārata scholars, Sanskrit theater scholars, and those interested in comparative work with Sanskrit literature. It brings an original perspective to the field, and provides inspiration for new lines of research. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0417_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113614 06 15 9781805113621 06 15 9781805113638 06 15 9781805113652 06 15 9781805113645 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0417.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0417 99 04 urn:uuid:e613eee4-f939-4530-9a95-64cebb5fac4e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e613eee4-f939-4530-9a95-64cebb5fac4e 15 9781906924294 06 10.11647/OBP.0010 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 The End and the Beginning The Book of My Life 1 B01 Lionel Gossman 2 A01 Hermynia Zur Mühlen 01 eng 00 295 03 12 BGH 10 BIO006000 20 World War I 10 BIO022000 20 First World War 10 BIO026000 20 Great War 20 women's history 20 memoir 20 biography 20 autobiography 20 Germany 20 European History 20 German literature 20 Austrian literature 20 feminism 20 Nazism 20 Austro-Hungarian Empire 01 06 03 00 First published in Germany in 1929, The End and the Beginning is a lively memoir of a vanished world and of a rebellious young woman’s struggle to achieve independence. Born in 1883 into a distinguished and wealthy aristocratic family of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hermynia Zur Mühlen spent much of her childhood traveling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. After five years on her German husband’s estate in czarist Russia she broke with both her family and her husband and set out on a precarious career as a professional writer committed to socialism. As well as translating many leading contemporary authors, notably Upton Sinclair, into German, she herself published an impressive number of politically engaged novels, detective stories, short stories, and children’s fairy tales. Because of her outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she had to flee her native Austria in 1938 and seek refuge in England, where she died, virtually penniless, in 1951. This revised and corrected translation of Zur Mühlen’s memoir—with extensive notes and an essay on the author by Lionel Gossman—will appeal especially to readers interested in women’s history, World War I, and the culture and politics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Seven free online supplements are also provided, containing additional original material including a selection of newly translated stories by Zur Mühlen, biographical essays by Gossman and a portfolio of images.

Does this communication reveal and construct meaning? Is the environment expressed and foregrounded in the new landscape of digital media?The Environment in the Age of the Internet is an interdisciplinary collection that draws together research and answers from media and communication studies, social sciences, modern history, and folklore studies. Edited by Heike Graf, its focus is on the communicative approaches taken by different groups to ecological issues, shedding light on how these groups tell their distinctive stories of "the environment". This book draws on case studies from around the world and focuses on activists of radically different kinds: protestors against pulp mills in South America, resistance to mining in the Sámi region of Sweden, the struggles of indigenous peoples from the Arctic to the Amazon, gardening bloggers in northern Europe, and neo-Nazi environmentalists in Germany. Each case is examined in relation to its multifaceted media coverage, mainstream and digital, professional and amateur.Stories are told within a context; examining the "what" and "how" of these environmental stories demonstrates how contexts determine communication, and how communication raises and shapes awareness. These issues have never been more urgent, this work never more timely. The Environment in the Age of the Internet is essential reading for everyone interested in how humans relate to their environment in the digital age. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0096_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742431 06 15 9781783742448 06 15 9781783742455 06 15 9781800645158 06 15 9781783746293 06 15 9781783742462 06 15 9781783742479 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0096 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0096.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:27ee8b2e-cd7f-420e-97ab-5ae534bb78e4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:27ee8b2e-cd7f-420e-97ab-5ae534bb78e4 15 9781800647886 06 10.11647/OBP.0336 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Era of Global Risk An Introduction to Existential Risk Studies 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2834-0993 SJ Beard 2 B01 Martin Rees 3 B01 21 0000-0002-0084-0734 Catherine Richards 4 B01 21 0000-0001-6544-4663 Clarissa Rios Rojas 01 eng 00 334 03 20 Existential Risk Studies 12 GPQD 93 GTQ 10 NAT011000 12 JFFS 93 JPQB 20 Natural systems 10 POL033000 12 GTF 93 JHB 10 POL028000 20 Technological advances 20 Environmental breakdown 12 JFF 10 SOC026000 20 Natural disasters 20 Nuclear threats 20 Management 20 Research 01 06 03 00 This innovative and comprehensive collection of essays explores the biggest threats facing humanity in the 21st century; threats that cannot be contained or controlled and that have the potential to bring about human extinction and civilization collapse. Bringing together experts from many disciplines, it provides an accessible survey of what we know about these threats, how we can understand them better, and most importantly what can be done to manage them effectively.These essays pair insights from decades of research and activism around global risk with the latest academic findings from the emerging field of Existential Risk Studies. Voicing the work of world leading experts and tackling a variety of vital issues, they weigh up the demands of natural systems with political pressures and technological advances to build an empowering vision of how we can safeguard humanity’s long-term future. The book covers both a comprehensive survey of how to study and manage global risks with in-depth discussion of core risk drivers: including environmental breakdown, novel technologies, global scale natural disasters, and nuclear threats. The Era of Global Risk offers a thorough analysis of the most serious dangers to humanity. Inspiring, accessible, and essential reading for both students of global risk and those committed to its mitigation, this book poses one critical question: how can we make sense of this era of global risk and move beyond it to an era of global safety? 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0336_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Centre for the Study of Existential Risk Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800647862 06 15 9781800647879 06 15 9781800647886 06 15 9781800647923 06 15 9781800647916 06 15 9781800647893 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0336.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0336 99 04 urn:uuid:78a7527f-9f48-4d5a-a85f-4c1f52daa381 03 01 01 urn:uuid:78a7527f-9f48-4d5a-a85f-4c1f52daa381 15 9781783747016 06 10.11647/OBP.0168 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 OBP Series in Mathematics 01 01 The Essence of Mathematics Through Elementary Problems 1 A01 21 0000-0003-0808-8687 Alexandre Borovik 2 A01 Tony Gardiner 01 eng 00 393 03 10 MAT000000 20 Mathematics 12 PB 04 QA39.3 20 Elementary Problems 10 MAT004000 12 YQM 20 make sense of the world 10 MAT002000 12 PBK 10 MAT012000 20 mathematics beyond the classroom 12 PBM 20 Mental Skills 12 PBT 20 Arithmetic 20 Word Problems 20 Algebra 20 Geometry 20 Infinity 01 06 03 00 It is increasingly clear that the shapes of reality – whether of the natural world, or of the built environment – are in some profound sense mathematical. Therefore it would benefit students and educated adults to understand what makes mathematics itself ‘tick’, and to appreciate why its shapes, patterns and formulae provide us with precisely the language we need to make sense of the world around us. The second part of this challenge may require some specialist experience, but the authors of this book concentrate on the first part, and explore the extent to which elementary mathematics allows us all to understand something of the nature of mathematics from the inside.The Essence of Mathematics consists of a sequence of 270 problems – with commentary and full solutions. The reader is assumed to have a reasonable grasp of school mathematics. More importantly, s/he should want to understand something of mathematics beyond the classroom, and be willing to engage with (and to reflect upon) challenging problems that highlight the essence of the discipline.The book consists of six chapters of increasing sophistication (Mental Skills; Arithmetic; Word Problems; Algebra; Geometry; Infinity), with interleaved commentary. The content will appeal to students considering further study of mathematics at university, teachers of mathematics at age 14-18, and anyone who wants to see what this kind of elementary content has to tell us about how mathematics really works. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0168_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783746996 06 15 9781783747009 06 15 9781783747016 06 15 9781800645837 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0168 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0168.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:c7a8579a-2de3-4899-a700-8a906fb8fadb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c7a8579a-2de3-4899-a700-8a906fb8fadb 15 9781800648722 06 10.11647/OBP.0323 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The European Experience A Multi-Perspective History of Modern Europe, 1500–2000 1 B01 21 0000-0001-9551-2989 Jan Hansen 2 B01 21 0000-0003-4505-5040 Jochen Hung 3 B01 21 0000-0002-3686-1801 Jaroslav Ira 4 B01 21 0000-0003-4134-0805 Judit Klement 5 B01 21 0000-0002-8462-0957 Sylvain Lesage 6 B01 21 0000-0001-5899-259X Juan Luis Simal 7 B01 21 0000-0002-6044-2316 Andrew Tompkins 01 eng 00 992 03 04 D209 12 HBJD 10 HIS010000 20 modern European history 20 European prospective 12 HBLH 10 HIS010020 12 HBLL 10 HIS037090 20 identities 20 cultural encounters 12 HBLW 10 HIS037040 12 HBTB 10 HIS037050 20 power 20 citizenship 10 HIS037060 20 economic development 10 HIS037070 01 06 03 00 The European Experience brings together the expertise of nearly a hundred historians from eight European universities to internationalise and diversify the study of modern European history, exploring a grand sweep of time from 1500 to 2000. Offering a valuable corrective to the Anglocentric narratives of previous English-language textbooks, scholars from all over Europe have pooled their knowledge on comparative themes such as identities, cultural encounters, power and citizenship, and economic development to reflect the complexity and heterogeneous nature of the European experience. Rather than another grand narrative, the international author teams offer a multifaceted and rich perspective on the history of the continent of the past 500 years. Each major theme is dissected through three chronological sub-chapters, revealing how major social, political and historical trends manifested themselves in different European settings during the early modern (1500–1800), modern (1800–1900) and contemporary period (1900–2000). This resource is of utmost relevance to today’s history students in the light of ongoing internationalisation strategies for higher education curricula, as it delivers one of the first multi-perspective and truly ‘European’ analyses of the continent’s past. Beyond the provision of historical content, this textbook equips students with the intellectual tools to interrogate prevailing accounts of European history, and enables them to seek out additional perspectives in a bid to further enrich the discipline. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0323_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 European Commission 01 programname Erasmus+ 01 projectname Teaching European History in the 21st Century Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648708 06 15 9781800648715 06 15 9781800648722 06 15 9781800648760 06 15 9781800648753 06 15 9781800648739 06 15 9781800648746 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0323.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0323 99 04 urn:uuid:2c8012d8-3cfb-401b-bf6f-029babc64d70 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2c8012d8-3cfb-401b-bf6f-029babc64d70 15 9781805113683 06 10.11647/OBP.0418 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Critical Physical Geography: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Nature, Power and Politics 01 01 The Field Guide to Mixing Social and Biophysical Methods in Environmental Research 1 B01 21 0000-0001-5335-9058 Rebecca Lave 2 B01 21 0000-0002-6077-6076 Stuart Lane 01 eng 00 644 03 20 Anthropocene 10 SCI026000 93 TQ 20 Mixed-Methods Research 93 RNF 10 SCI043000 20 Environmental research 10 SCI019000 93 YPMP6 20 Critical Physical Geography 10 REF020000 20 Earth Systems Sciences 20 Field Guide 01 06 03 00 Despite ongoing debates about its origins, the Anthropocene—a new epoch characterized by significant human impact on the Earth's geology and ecosystems—is widely acknowledged. Our environment is increasingly a product of interacting biophysical and social forces, shaped by climate change, colonial legacies, gender norms, hydrological processes, and more. Understanding these intricate interactions requires a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative and quantitative, biophysical and social research.However, mixed-methods environmental research remains rare, hindered by academic boundaries, limited training, and the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration. Time, funding, and the integration of diverse data further complicate this research, whilst the dynamics and ethics of interdisciplinary teams add another layer of complexity.Despite these challenges, mixed-methods research offers a more robust and ultimately transformative understanding of environmental questions. This Field Guide aims to inspire and equip researchers to undertake such studies. Organized like a recipe book, it assists researchers in the preparation of their field work, as well as offering entry points to key methods and providing examples of successful mixed-methods projects.This book will be of interest to scholars wishing to tackle environmental research in a more holistic manner, spanning ‘sister’ disciplines such as anthropology, statistics, political science, public health, archaeology, geography, history, ecology, and Earth science. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0418_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805113669 06 15 9781805113676 06 15 9781805113683 06 15 9781805113706 06 15 9781805113690 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0418 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0418.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:e0ee1c99-4f88-4ee5-b0a1-d0539a618c04 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e0ee1c99-4f88-4ee5-b0a1-d0539a618c04 15 9781800641907 06 10.11647/OBP.0254 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Form of Ideology and the Ideology of Form Cold War, Decolonization and Third World Print Cultures 1 B01 21 0000-0003-3608-005X Francesca Orsini 2 B01 Neelam Srivastava 3 B01 Laetitia Zecchini 01 eng 00 340 03 12 AFH 10 ART048000 20 decolonization 04 Z289 .F67 20 Cold War 12 JFCD 10 SOC024000 20 anti-imperialist commitments 12 HBTB 10 HIS027030 20 Afro-Asian solidarity 10 HIS027110 12 JFC 12 HBTW 10 HIS027130 12 HBLW3 10 HIS037070 01 06 03 00 This timely volume focuses on the period of decolonization and the Cold War as the backdrop to the emergence of new and diverse literary aesthetics that accompanied anti-imperialist commitments and Afro-Asian solidarity. Competing internationalist frameworks produced a flurry of writings that made Asian, African and other world literatures visible to each other for the first time. The book’s essays examine a host of print culture formats (magazines, newspapers, manifestos, conference proceedings, ephemera, etc.) and modes of cultural mediation and transnational exchange that enabled the construction of a variously inflected Third-World culture which played a determining role throughout the Cold War.The essays in this collection focus on locations as diverse as Morocco, Tunisia, South Asia, China, Spain, and Italy, and on texts in Arabic, English, French, Hindi, Italian, and Spanish. In doing so, they highlight the combination of local debates and struggles, and internationalist networks and aspirations that found expression in essays, novels, travelogues, translations, reviews, reportages and other literary forms.With its comparative study of print cultures with a focus on decolonization and the Cold War, the volume makes a major contribution both to studies of postcolonial literary and print cultures, and to cultural Cold War studies in multilingual and non-Western contexts, and will be of interest to historians and literary scholars alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0254_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800641884 06 15 9781800641891 06 15 9781800641907 06 15 9781800646872 06 15 9781800641938 06 15 9781800641914 06 15 9781800641921 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0254.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0254 99 04 urn:uuid:158ff319-ebe5-4b06-99b8-702185861e73 03 01 01 urn:uuid:158ff319-ebe5-4b06-99b8-702185861e73 15 9781800643529 06 10.11647/OBP.0280 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 The Great Reset 2021 European Public Investment Outlook 1 B01 21 0000-0001-9972-716X Floriana Cerniglia 2 B01 21 0000-0003-0121-4329 Francesco Saraceno 3 B01 Andrew Watt 01 eng 00 258 03 10 BUS036000 12 KFFM 20 public investment 04 RA644.C67 10 BUS032000 20 Europe 12 K 12 1QFE 10 BUS051000 20 European governments 20 COVID-19 recession 20 sustainable Europe 20 climate change 20 human capital formation 20 NextGenerationEU 01 06 03 00 This timely and insightful collection of essays written by economists from a range of academic and policy institutes explores the subject of public investment through two avenues. The first examines public investment trends and needs in Europe, addressing the initiatives taken by European governments to tackle the COVID-19 recession and to rebuild their economies. The second identifies key domains where European public investment is needed to build a more sustainable Europe, from climate change to human capital formation.Building on the 2020 edition, The Great Reset demonstrates the value of public capital both within European countries and as a European public good, shedding light on the impact that the NextGenerationEU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility will likely have on the macroeconomic structure of the European economy. The first part of the Outlook assesses the state of public investment in Europe at large, as well as focusing on five countries (France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain) as case studies. The second part focuses on the challenges posed by the pandemic and the pillars of the NextGenerationEU investment plan, with chapters ranging from education and digitalization, to territorial cohesion and green transition.This book is a must-read for economists, policymakers, and scholars interested in the impact and recovery of European countries during a time of extensive uncertainty. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0280_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800643505 06 15 9781800643512 06 15 9781800643529 06 15 9781800646650 06 15 9781800643550 06 15 9781800643536 06 15 9781800643543 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0280.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0280 99 04 urn:uuid:eb3ec30b-4957-45e2-8356-06045f349fa7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:eb3ec30b-4957-45e2-8356-06045f349fa7 15 9781800649828 06 10.11647/OBP.0310 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Historical Depth of the Tiberian Reading Tradition of Biblical Hebrew 1 A01 Aaron D.

Focusing on cases of dissonance between the tradition’s written (consonantal) and reading (vocalic) components, the study shows that the Tiberian spelling and pronunciation traditions, though related, interdependent, and largely in harmony, at numerous points reflect distinct oral realisations of the biblical text. Where the extant vocalisation differs from the apparently pre-exilic pronunciation presupposed by the written tradition, the former often exhibits conspicuous affinity with post-exilic linguistic conventions as seen in representative Second Temple material, such as the core Late Biblical Hebrew books, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ben Sira, rabbinic literature, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and contemporary Aramaic and Syriac material. On the one hand, such instances of written-reading disharmony clearly entail a degree of anachronism in the vocalisation of Classical Biblical Hebrew compositions. On the other, since many of the innovative and secondary features in the Tiberian vocalisation tradition are typical of sources from the Second Temple Period and, in some cases, are documented as minority alternatives in even earlier material, the Masoretic reading tradition is justifiably characterised as a linguistic artefact of profound historical depth. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0310_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649804 06 15 9781800649811 06 15 9781800649828 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0310.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0310 99 04 urn:uuid:fff33c6a-ed8c-49b5-af9d-5a7fca366bc4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fff33c6a-ed8c-49b5-af9d-5a7fca366bc4 15 9781783743803 06 10.11647/OBP.0123 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 The Idea of Europe Enlightenment Perspectives 1 B01 21 0000-0002-6061-8502 Catriona Seth 2 B01 Rotraud von Kulessa 01 eng 00 178 03 12 DQ 20 Europe 10 LCO008000 20 Enlightenment 12 HP 10 PHI034000 12 HPS 20 peace 10 PHI019000 12 1QFE 20 European union 10 HIS010000 20 anthology 20 common values 20 Rousseau 20 Voltaire 20 Kant 20 Hume 01 06 03 00 In view of the challenges—many of which are political—that different European countries are currently facing, scholars who work on the eighteenth century have compiled this anthology which includes earlier recognitions of common values and past considerations of questions which often remain pertinent nowadays. During the Enlightenment, many men and women of letters envisaged the continent’s future in particular when stressing their hope that peace could be secured in Europe. The texts gathered here, and signed by major thinkers of the time (Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Kant, Hume or Staël for instance), as well as by writers history has forgotten, present the reflections, with a couple of chronological extensions (from Sully to Victor Hugo) of authors from the long eighteenth century—the French Empire and the fall of Napoleon generated numerous upheavals—on Europe, its history, its diversity, but also on what the nations, which, in all their diversity, make up a geographical unit, have in common. They show the historical origins of the project of a European union, the desire to consolidate the continent’s ties to the Maghreb or to Turkey, the importance granted to commerce and the worries engendered by history’s convulsions, but also the hope vested in future generations.<break/>The Idea of Europe follows its sister edition in French, L’idée de l’Europe au Siècle des Lumières, also published by Open Book. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0123_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Société française d’étude du XVIIIe siècle 16 Augsburg University 16 University of Oxford Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743780 06 15 9781783743797 06 15 9781783743803 06 15 9781800645424 06 15 9781783744152 06 15 9781783743810 06 15 9781783743827 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0123 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0123.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f58f1508-85e4-47ec-93a7-66a7fb694dae 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f58f1508-85e4-47ec-93a7-66a7fb694dae 15 9781800640436 06 10.11647/OBP.0227 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Global Communications 01 01 The Image of Africa in Ghana's Press The Influence of Global News Organisations 1 A01 21 0000-0001-8975-4607 Michael Serwornoo 01 eng 00 256 03 12 1H 04 DT30.5 10 LAN008000 20 Press 12 JFD 20 journalism 10 SOC052000 20 Africa 10 HIS001050 12 J 20 Ghana 12 KNTJ 20 news organisations 20 image of Africa 20 Western media 20 Afro-pessimism 20 newsworthiness 20 intermedia agenda setting 20 postcolonial theory 20 ethnography 20 journalism studies 20 media studies 20 Social sciences 01 06 03 00 <break/>The Image of Africa in Ghana’s Press is a comprehensive and highly analytical study of the impact of foreign news organisations on the creation of an image of Africa in its own press. Identifying a problematic focus on the Western media in previous studies of the African media image, Serwornoo uses the Ghanaian press as a case study to explore the effects of centuries of Afro-pessimistic discourse in the foreign press on the continent’s self-description.This study brings together a number of theoretical approaches, including newsworthiness, intermedia agenda setting, postcolonial theory and the hierarchy of influences, to question the processes underpinning the creation of media content. It is particularly innovative in its application of the methodological frameworks of ethnographic content analysis and ethnographic interview techniques to unveil the perspectives of journalists and editors.The Image of Africa in Ghana’s Press presents a vital contribution of the highest academic standard to the growing literature surrounding Afro-pessimism and postcolonial studies. It will be of great value to scientists in the field of journalism studies, as well as researchers interested in the merging of journalism research, postcolonial studies, and ethnography.<break/> 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0227_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640412 06 15 9781800640429 06 15 9781800640436 06 15 9781800646322 06 15 9781800640467 06 15 9781800640443 06 15 9781800640450 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0227.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0227 99 04 urn:uuid:9cae11f4-2e65-4d4e-b44a-70fb190fc620 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9cae11f4-2e65-4d4e-b44a-70fb190fc620 15 9781783742950 06 10.11647/OBP.0106 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 The Infrastructure Finance Challenge 1 B01 Ingo Walter 01 eng 00 134 03 10 BUS032000 04 HC79.C3 20 Infrastructure 12 K 10 BUS051000 20 finance 20 economics 20 welfare 20 sustainability 20 social progress 20 report 20 Stern School of Business 20 New York University 01 06 03 00 Infrastructure and its effects on economic growth, social welfare, and sustainability receive a great deal of attention today. There is widespread agreement that infrastructure is a key dimension of global development and that its impact reaches deep into the broader economy with important and complex implications for social progress. At the same time, infrastructure finance is among the most complex and challenging areas in the global financial architecture. Ingo Walter, Professor of Finance, Corporate Governance and Ethics Emeritus at the Stern School of Business, New York University, and his team of experts tackles the issue by focussing on key findings backed by serious theoretical and empirical research. The result is a set of viable guideposts for researchers, policy-makers, students and anybody interested in the complex challenges of contemporary economy. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0106_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742936 06 15 9781783742943 06 15 9781783742950 06 15 9781800645257 06 15 9781783746194 06 15 9781783742967 06 15 9781783742974 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0106 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0106.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:bfdcc191-aa35-4930-ba5c-eb2b1016cd9b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:bfdcc191-aa35-4930-ba5c-eb2b1016cd9b 15 9781805117421 06 10.11647/OBP.0498 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Intertwined World of the Oral and Written Transmission of Sacred Traditions in the Middle East 1 B01 Alba Fedeli 2 B01 21 0000-0002-2550-9896 Geoffrey Khan 3 B01 Johan Lundberg 01 eng 00 484 03 20 Bible 04 BS471 93 QRAC 10 REL017000 93 QRJ 20 Qur’ān 10 REL006630 20 Hebrew 93 QRM 10 REL037010 93 QRP 10 REL114000 20 Syriac 20 Arabic 10 LAN009010 93 NHDJ 93 CFF 01 06 03 00 In the medieval Middle East, the scriptures of Christianity, Judaism and Islam were transmitted in written and oral form. The means of written transmission and the textualisation of the oral reading of these scriptures exhibit many parallels, which reflect cultural contact and convergence across the various religious communities. This volume is the outcome of a project, funded jointly by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Arts and Humanities Research Council, that aimed to bring together strands of research related to various aspects of the transmission of these sacred texts in order to reach a deeper understanding of the intertwined world of the three major religions of the Middle East at their formative periods of development during the early Islamic centuries. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0498_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805117407 06 15 9781805117414 06 15 9781805117421 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0498 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0498.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:abc9a8e0-7d7d-4486-8033-440787623635 03 01 01 urn:uuid:abc9a8e0-7d7d-4486-8033-440787623635 15 9781783743551 06 10.11647/OBP.0118 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Jewish Unions in America Pages of History and Memories 1 A01 Bernard Weinstein 2 Z01 21 0000-0003-4522-9936 Maurice Wolfthal 01 eng 00 334 03 20 Bernard Weinstein 12 HBLW 04 HD6305.J3 10 HIS036060 10 HIS022000 12 JFSR1 20 unionism 12 LNHR 10 POL013000 20 United States 20 Jewish Unions 12 JFFN 10 SOC007000 20 socialism 20 United Hebrew Trades 20 labor history 20 Jewish history 20 immigration 01 06 03 00 Newly arrived in New York in 1882 from Tsarist Russia, the sixteen-year-old Bernard Weinstein discovered an America in which unionism, socialism, and anarchism were very much in the air. He found a home in the tenements of New York and for the next fifty years he devoted his life to the struggles of fellow Jewish workers.The Jewish Unions in America blends memoir and history to chronicle this time. It describes how Weinstein led countless strikes, held the unions together in the face of retaliation from the bosses, investigated sweatshops and factories with the aid of reformers, and faced down schisms by various factions, including Anarchists and Communists. He co-founded the United Hebrew Trades and wrote speeches, articles and books advancing the cause of the labor movement. From the pages of this book emerges a vivid picture of workers’ organizations at the beginning of the twentieth century and a capitalist system that bred exploitation, poverty, and inequality. Although workers’ rights have made great progress in the decades since, Weinstein’s descriptions of workers with jobs pitted against those without, and American workers against workers abroad, still carry echoes today. The Jewish Unions in America is a testament to the struggles of working people a hundred years ago. But it is also a reminder that workers must still battle to live decent lives in the free market. For the first time, Maurice Wolfthal’s readable translation makes Weinstein’s Yiddish text available to English readers. It is essential reading for students and scholars of labor history, Jewish history, and the history of American immigration. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0118_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783743537 06 15 9781783743544 06 15 9781783743551 06 15 9781800645370 06 15 9781783744831 06 15 9781783743568 06 15 9781783743575 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0118 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0118.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:dbaff6fe-49a1-4c7a-8dfb-79f298714014 03 01 01 urn:uuid:dbaff6fe-49a1-4c7a-8dfb-79f298714014 15 9781783744350 06 10.11647/OBP.0132 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity Volume 1: The Middle Ages 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6400-2764 Jan M.

Volume 4 examines the famous Le jongleur de Notre Dame by the French composer Jules Massenet, which took Europe by storm after premiering in 1902 and then crossed the Atlantic to the impresario Oscar Hammerstein and the diva Mary Garden, who gave the opera new legs as a female juggler.<break/>Presented with great clarity and simplicity, Ziolkowski's work is accessible to the general reader, while its many new discoveries will be valuable to academics in such fields and disciplines as medieval studies, medievalism, philology, literary history, art history, folklore, performance studies, and reception studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0147_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783745296 06 15 9781783745302 06 15 9781783745319 06 15 9781800645660 06 15 9781783745722 06 15 9781783745326 06 15 9781783745333 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0147 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0147.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:e3bb9423-94a5-4212-8fef-03ce966b44d4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e3bb9423-94a5-4212-8fef-03ce966b44d4 15 9781783745364 06 10.11647/OBP.0148 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Juggler of Notre Dame and the Medievalizing of Modernity Volume 5: Tumbling into the Twentieth Century 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6400-2764 Jan M.

From the first attempts at translation in the mid-twentieth century to more recent state-driven efforts concerned with international impact, The Kingdom and the Qur’an adeptly elucidates the link between contemporary Islamic theology and the advent of modern print culture. It investigates this critical juncture in both Middle Eastern political history and the intellectual evolution of the Muslim world, interweaving literary, socio-historical, and socio-anthropological threads to depict the intricate backdrop of the Saudi ‘Qur'an translation movement’.Mykhaylo Yakubovych provides a comprehensive historical overview of the debates surrounding the translatability of the Qur'an, as well as exploring the impact of the burgeoning translation and dissemination of the holy book upon Wahhabi and Salafi interpretations of Islam. Backed by meticulous research and drawing on a wealth of sources, this work illuminates an essential facet of global Islamic culture and scholarly discourse. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0381_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111764 06 15 9781805111771 06 15 9781805111788 06 15 9781805111818 06 15 9781805111795 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0381 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0381.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b9c04b78-a0c8-40d3-8daa-19c695a650fe 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b9c04b78-a0c8-40d3-8daa-19c695a650fe 15 9781805110200 06 10.11647/OBP.0344 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Last Man Who Knew Everything Thomas Young 1 A01 Andrew Robinson 2 Z01 Martin Rees 01 eng 00 296 03 12 BG 10 BIO000000 04 Q143.Y7 20 Thomas Young 10 BIO015000 12 BJ 20 physicist 12 BGT 10 HIS002030 20 physician 20 Egyptologist 12 HDDG 20 decipher 20 Rosetta Stone 20 biography 01 06 03 00 No one has given the polymath Thomas Young (1773–1829) the all-round examination he so richly deserves—until now. Celebrated biographer Andrew Robinson portrays a man who solved mystery after mystery in the face of ridicule and rejection, and never sought fame.As a physicist, Young challenged the theories of Isaac Newton and proved that light is a wave. As a physician, he showed how the eye focuses and proposed the three-colour theory of vision, only confirmed a century and a half later. As an Egyptologist, he made crucial contributions to deciphering the Rosetta Stone. It is hard to grasp how much Young knew.This biography is the fascinating story of a driven yet modest hero who cared less about what others thought of him than for the joys of an unbridled pursuit of knowledge—with a new foreword by Martin Rees and a new postscript discussing polymathy in the two centuries since the time of Young. It returns this neglected genius to his proper position in the pantheon of great scientific thinkers. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0344_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110187 06 15 9781805110194 06 15 9781805110200 06 15 9781805110248 06 15 9781805110231 06 15 9781805110217 06 15 9781805110224 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0344.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0344 99 04 urn:uuid:6d9c1a64-b53d-4ddf-8c7e-c90c5488efff 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6d9c1a64-b53d-4ddf-8c7e-c90c5488efff 15 9781800649927 06 10.11647/OBP.0341 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Last Years of Polish Jewry Volume 1: At the Edge of the Abyss: Essays, 1927–33 1 A01 Yankev Leshchinsky 2 Z01 Robert Brym 3 Z01 Eli Jany 4 B01 Robert Brym 01 eng 01 yid 00 178 03 04 DS134.55 12 HBLW 10 HIS022000 20 Yankev Leshchinsky 12 HBTZ 10 SOC007000 20 socioeconomics 10 HIS010010 12 JFSR1 20 politics 10 HIS037070 20 Jews 20 Eastern Europe 20 Ukraine 20 sociology 20 interwar period 20 Poland 20 nationalism 20 pogroms 20 history 20 Holocaust 01 06 03 00 Ukrainian-born Yankev Leshchinsky (1876–1966) was the leading scholarly and journalistic analyst of Eastern European Jewish socioeconomic and political life from the 1920s to the 1950s. Known as “the dean of Jewish sociologists” and “the father of Jewish demography,” Leshchinsky published a series of insightful and moving essays in Yiddish on Polish Jewry between 1927 and 1937. Despite heightened interest in interwar Jewish communities in Poland in recent years, these essays (like most of Leshchinsky’s works) have never been translated into English. The Last Years of Polish Jewry helps to rectify this situation by translating some of Leshchinsky’s key essays. A thoughtful Introduction by Robert Brym provides the context of the author’s life and work. The essays in this volume, based on years of research and first-hand observation, focus on the period 1927–33. The rise of militant Polish nationalism and the ensuing anti-Jewish boycotts and pogroms; the increasing exclusion of Jews from government employment and the universities; the destitution, hunger, suicide, and efforts to emigrate that characterized Jewish life; the psychological toll taken by mass uncertainty and hopelessness—all this falls within the author’s ambit. Few works in English have the range and depth of Leshchinsky’s essays on the last years of the three million Polish Jews who were to perish at the hand of the Nazi regime. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of Eastern European history and society, especially those with an interest in Eastern Europe’s Jewish communities on the brink of the Holocaust. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0341_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649903 06 15 9781800649910 06 15 9781800649927 06 15 9781800649965 06 15 9781800649958 06 15 9781800649934 06 15 9781800649941 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0341.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0341 99 04 urn:uuid:7b30b0e1-2e8c-459a-9412-d7e360623f74 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7b30b0e1-2e8c-459a-9412-d7e360623f74 15 9781800649996 06 10.11647/OBP.0342 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Last Years of Polish Jewry Volume 2: The Permanent Pogrom, 1935–37 1 A01 Yankev Leshchinsky 2 Z01 Robert Brym 3 Z01 Eli Jany 4 B01 Robert Brym 01 eng 01 yid 00 190 03 12 HBLW 10 HIS022000 93 NHTB 20 Yankev Leshchinsky 12 HBTZ 93 JBFH 10 SOC007000 20 socioeconomics 10 HIS010010 12 JFSR1 93 NHD 20 politics 10 HIS037070 20 Jews 93 NHB 20 Eastern Europe 20 Ukraine 20 sociology 20 interwar period 20 Poland 20 nationalism 20 pogroms 20 history 20 Holocaust 01 06 03 00 Ukrainian-born Yankev Leshchinsky (1876-1966) was the leading scholarly and journalistic analyst of Eastern European Jewish socioeconomic and political life from the 1920s to the 1950s.

Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade "Fiona Macleod" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.Sharp wrote "I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing "second self". With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0142_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783745005 06 15 9781783745012 06 15 9781783745029 06 15 9781800645615 06 15 9781783746606 06 15 9781783745036 06 15 9781783745043 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0142.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0142 99 04 urn:uuid:e8fbf422-7c23-4314-96c4-ec93b546f004 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e8fbf422-7c23-4314-96c4-ec93b546f004 15 9781783748716 06 10.11647/OBP.0196 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod" Volume 2: 1895-1899 1 A01 William F.

It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0196_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748693 06 15 9781783748709 06 15 9781783748716 06 15 9781800646070 06 15 9781783748747 06 15 9781783748723 06 15 9781783748730 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0196.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0196 99 04 urn:uuid:2453ebf2-1189-485c-a0a6-2aa2e6d4f17e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2453ebf2-1189-485c-a0a6-2aa2e6d4f17e 15 9781800640078 06 10.11647/OBP.0221 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod" Volume 3: 1900-1905 1 A01 William F.

Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade "Fiona Macleod" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.Sharp wrote "I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing "second self".With an introduction and detailed notes by William F.

As poet, translator, critic and oriental scholar, Schlegel's extraordinarily diverse interests and writings left a vast intellectual legacy, making him a foundational figure in several branches of knowledge. He was one of the last thinkers in Europe able to practise as well as to theorise, and to attempt to comprehend the nature of culture without being forced to be a narrow specialist. With his brother Friedrich, for example, Schlegel edited the avant-garde Romantic periodical Athenaeum; and he produced with his wife Caroline a translation of Shakespeare, the first metrical version into any foreign language. Schlegel's Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature were a defining force for Coleridge and for the French Romantics. But his interests extended to French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese literature, as well to the Greek and Latin classics, and to Sanskrit.August Wilhelm Schlegel is the first attempt to engage with this totality, to combine an account of Schlegel’s life and times with a critical evaluation of his work and its influence. Through the study of one man's rich life, incorporating the most recent scholarship, theoretical approaches, and archival resources, while remaining easily accessible to all readers, Paulin has recovered the intellectual climate of Romanticism in Germany and traced its development into a still-potent international movement. The extraordinarily wide scope and variety of Schlegel's activities have hitherto acted as a barrier to literary scholars, even in Germany. In Roger Paulin, whose career has given him the knowledge and the experience to grapple with such an ambitious project, Schlegel has at last found a worthy exponent. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0069_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Cambridge 01 programname Department of German and Dutch 16 Trinity College, Cambridge Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781909254954 06 15 9781909254961 06 15 9781909254978 06 15 9781800644953 06 15 9781783746347 06 15 9781909254985 06 15 9781909254992 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0069.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0069 99 04 urn:uuid:918e76d5-a51f-4698-a3b4-87672329413d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:918e76d5-a51f-4698-a3b4-87672329413d 15 9781805112686 06 10.11647/OBP.0397 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Life of Nuns Love, Politics, and Religion in Medieval German Convents 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1994-5157 Henrike Lähnemann 2 A01 21 0000-0003-3762-2818 Eva Schlotheuber 3 Z01 Anne Simon 01 eng 00 210 03 04 BX4220.G3 20 Germany 12 HBLC1 10 HIS037010 93 NHDJ 93 JBSF1 12 JFSJ1 20 Nuns 10 REL033000 93 JBSR 12 JFSR 20 Medieval society 10 REL084000 12 HRAM2 93 QRAM2 20 Reformation 20 Convent life 20 Archival research 01 06 03 00 In the Middle Ages half of those who chose the religious life were women, yet historians have overlooked entire generations of educated, feisty, capable and enterprising nuns, condemning them to the dusty silence of the archives. What, though, were their motives for entering a convent and what was their daily routine behind its walls like? How did they think, live and worship, both as individuals and as a community? How did they maintain contact with the families and communities they had left behind?Henrike Lähnemann and Eva Schlotheuber offer readers a vivid insight into the largely unknown lives and work of religious women in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Using previously inaccessible personal diaries and letters, as well as tapestries, painting, architecture and music, the authors show that the nuns were, in fact, an active, even influential part of medieval society. They functioned as role models and engaged in spirited dialogue with other convents, with the citizens of their home towns and with the local nobility. Full of self-confidence, they organised their demanding daily lives; ran their complex convent economies as successful businesses; offered girls a comprehensive theological, musical and practical education; produced magnificent manuscripts; ministered to the convent sick and dying with homemade medicines and to family and friends with advice. Initially—and fiercely—they resisted the Reformation, only for some of the convents to survive as Protestant women’s foundations to this day.Now, for the first time in centuries, this account by Henrike Lähnemann and Eva Schlotheuber allows the voices of these remarkable women to be heard outside the cloister and to invite us into their world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0397_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112662 06 15 9781805112679 06 15 9781805112686 06 15 9781805112716 06 15 9781805112693 06 15 9781805114246 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0397 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0397.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:c2cf1745-1573-4edf-a4de-4d0609b65eb6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c2cf1745-1573-4edf-a4de-4d0609b65eb6 15 9781783749553 06 10.11647/OBP.0210 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Linguistic Classification of the Reading Traditions of Biblical Hebrew A Phyla-and-Waves Model 1 A01 Benjamin Paul Kantor 01 eng 00 228 03 20 Biblical Hebrew 12 CFF 93 CFF 04 PJ4579 10 REL006020 12 CFP 10 LAN009010 20 Philology 93 QRMF1 20 Tiberian pointing 20 Leningrad Codex 20 Byzantine Palestine 20 Medieval Hebrew 01 06 03 00 In recent decades, the field of Biblical Hebrew philology and linguistics has been witness to a growing interest in the diverse traditions of Biblical Hebrew. Indeed, while there is a tendency for many students and scholars to conceive of Biblical Hebrew as equivalent with the Tiberian pointing of the Leningrad Codex as it appears in Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), there are many other important reading traditions attested throughout history. Origen’s Secunda reflects a late Roman reading tradition of Biblical Hebrew transcribed into Greek letters. Occasional transcriptions of Biblical Hebrew into Latin letters in Jerome’s commentaries similarly reflect a reading tradition from early Byzantine Palestine. In the medieval period, alongside Tiberian Hebrew we also find the Babylonian tradition and the Palestinian tradition. The modern oral reading tradition of the Samaritan community also likely has roots in the Second Temple period. Aside from these primary attestations of the reading traditions, there are a whole host of other modern reading traditions of Biblical Hebrew, from Ashkenazi, to Sephardi, and Yemenite. Despite the rich diversity of traditions of Biblical Hebrew at our fingertips, the linguistic relationship between them has never been mapped out. In this book, then, the phyla-and-waves methodology, which has been used for Semitic language classification, is used to map out the relationship between the main reading traditions of Biblical Hebrew throughout history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0210_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781783749539 06 15 9781783749546 06 15 9781783749553 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0210 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0210.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:70fafc82-7a5e-4b53-ad82-d54b8e17c4fc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:70fafc82-7a5e-4b53-ad82-d54b8e17c4fc 15 9781909254374 06 10.11647/OBP.0028 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10 01 02 Yeats Annual 01 01 The Living Stream Yeats Annual No. 18 1 B01 Warwick Gould 01 eng 00 398 03 12 DSC 10 LIT004120 04 PR5907 20 William Butler Yeats 10 POE005020 20 Yeats Annual 20 Warwick Gould 20 Institute of English Studies 20 Irish literature 20 Heaney 20 Irish poetry 01 06 03 00 Yeats Annual No. 18 is another special issue in this renowned research-level series offering a tribute to the pioneering Yeats scholar, A.

Produced by an unknown East Syrian Christian author during the late medieval or early modern period, this work offers a loosely organized catalogue of marvellous events, phenomena, and objects, natural as well as human-made, found throughout the world. The Marvels is a unique composition in that it bears witness to the creative adoption by Syriac Christians of the paradoxographical literary mode of ‘aǧā’ib that enjoyed great popularity among their Arabic- and Persian-speaking Muslim neighbours. In this composition, the East Syrian author blends together a number of different paradoxographical traditions: some inherited from the earlier Christian works in Syriac, such as the Alexander Romance, some borrowed directly or indirectly from Muslim geographical and other works, and some, apparently, circulating as a part of local oral lore. Combining entertainment and didacticism, he provides his audience with a fascinating panorama of imaginary geography, which at the same time has unmistakable Christian features.This edition makes a fascinating Syriac work available to a wider audience, and provides detailed insights into the rich assortment of traditions creatively woven together by its author. Thanks to the combination of the original text, English translation and commentary, it will be of interest to scholars and readers alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0237_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640320 06 15 9781800640337 06 15 9781800640344 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0237 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0237.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:ba31e68c-e442-4b12-8c74-ebd47e12b55e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ba31e68c-e442-4b12-8c74-ebd47e12b55e 15 9781800647817 06 10.11647/OBP.0309 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Merger Mystery Why Spend Ever More on Mergers When So Many Fail? 1 A01 Geoff Meeks 2 A01 J.

As consultancy McKinsey have put it, ‘Anyone who has researched merger success rates knows that roughly 70% fail’. Yet—mysteriously—M&A activity has boomed across the globe, with a forty-fold increase in deals done each year now compared with four decades ago, in spite of the adverse general evidence. How can it be that talented, energetic, highly skilled, law-abiding, income-maximising participants in the M&A market will often promote mergers that lead to no operating gains, frequently with adverse effects on the wider economy too?Drawing on findings from a wealth of statistical analyses and case evidence from many businesses, the book presents answers to this merger mystery. In a synthesis of ideas from several disciplines, solutions are detected in misaligned incentives, distorted financial engineering and information asymmetry. By revealing how weaknesses at multiple points can interact and cumulate to produce inefficient outcomes, the discussion serves as a corrective to the overwhelmingly positive tone of most commentary on M&A, whilst also advocating changes in participants’ contracts, in taxation, and in regulation which could significantly reduce the number of mergers that fail.Designed to be accessible to a wide readership, the book will be of interest to investors, to M&A practitioners and commentators, to researchers and students of economics, political economy, finance, management and accounting, and—importantly—to policy makers working in these areas. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0309_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647794 06 15 9781800647800 06 15 9781800647817 06 15 9781800647855 06 15 9781800647848 06 15 9781800647824 06 15 9781800647831 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0309 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0309.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:dc773a3b-abf8-4b5f-9b2d-cd3ecfecd8fe 03 01 01 urn:uuid:dc773a3b-abf8-4b5f-9b2d-cd3ecfecd8fe 15 9781800643048 06 10.11647/OBP.0272 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Neo-Aramaic Oral Heritage of the Jews of Zakho 1 A01 Oz Aloni 01 eng 00 368 03 12 CFF 04 PJ5289 10 REL006020 20 Zakho 12 CFP 10 LAN009010 20 Neo-Aramaic 20 folktale 20 narrative 20 proverb 20 oral heritage 01 06 03 00 In 1951, the secluded Neo-Aramaic-speaking Jewish community of Zakho migrated collectively to Israel. It carried with it its unique language, culture and customs, many of which bore resemblance to those found in classical rabbinic literature. Like others in Kurdistan, for example, the Jews of Zakho retained a vibrant tradition of creating and performing songs based on embellishing biblical stories with Aggadic traditions.Despite the recent growth of scholarly interest into Neo-Aramaic communities, however, studies have to this point almost exclusively focused on the linguistic analysis of their critically endangered dialects and little attention has been paid to the sociological, historical and literary analysis of the cultural output of the diverse and isolated Neo-Aramaic communities of Kurdistan. In this innovative book, Oz Aloni seeks to redress this balance.Aloni focuses on three genres of the Zakho community’s oral heritage: the proverb, the enriched biblical narrative and the folktale. Each chapter draws on the authors’ own fieldwork among members of the Zakho community now living in Jerusalem. He examines the proverb in its performative context, the rewritten biblical epic narrative of Ruth, Naomi and King David, and a folktale with the unusual theme of magical gender transformation. Insightfully breaking down these examples with analysis drawn from a variety of conceptual fields, Aloni succeeds in his mission to put the speakers of the language and their culture on equal footing with their speech. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0272_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Hebrew University of Jerusalem 01 programname The Martin Buber Society of Fellows Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643024 06 15 9781800643031 06 15 9781800643048 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0272 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0272.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:317a9a27-3bf5-4cef-9091-c355f71b7122 03 01 01 urn:uuid:317a9a27-3bf5-4cef-9091-c355f71b7122 15 9781800648166 06 10.11647/OBP.0314 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Nordic Minuet Royal Fashion and Peasant Tradition 1 B01 21 0000-0001-6394-5210 Petri Hoppu 2 B01 21 0000-0002-9959-1474 Egil Bakka 3 B01 Anne Margrete Fiskvik 01 eng 00 586 03 20 Anthology 12 ASD 93 ATQR 04 GV1796.M5 10 PER003090 12 ASDC 93 ATQ 20 Minuet 10 PER003100 12 ASDR 10 HIS054000 93 NHTB 20 Nordic countries 20 Dance culture 12 HBTB 10 HIS044000 93 NHD 12 1D 93 AVLP 20 Historical context 10 MUS011000 12 3J 20 Dance revival 01 06 03 00 This major new anthology of the minuet in the Nordic countries comprehensively explores the dance as a historical, social and cultural phenomenon. One of the most significant dances in Europe, with a strong symbolic significance in western dance culture and dance scholarship, the minuet has evolved a distinctive pathway in this region, which these rigorous and pioneering essays explore.As well as situating the minuet in different national and cultural contexts, this collection marshals a vast number of sources, including images and films, to analyze the changes in the dance across time and among different classes. Following the development of the minuet into dance revival and historical dance movements of the twentieth century, this rich compendium draws together a distinguished group of scholars to stimulate fresh evaluations and new perspectives on the minuet in history and practice.The Nordic Minuet: Royal Fashion and Peasant Tradition is essential reading for researchers, students and practitioners of dance; musicologists; and historical and folk dancers; it will be of interest to anybody who wants to learn more about this vibrant dance tradition. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0314_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge,UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800648142 06 15 9781800648159 06 15 9781800648166 06 15 9781800648203 06 15 9781800648173 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0314 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0314.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:ef8211a4-1080-455f-926f-79f5ab140fcf 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ef8211a4-1080-455f-926f-79f5ab140fcf 15 9781800644007 06 10.11647/OBP.0289 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 The Global Qur'an 01 01 The Official Indonesian Qurʾān Translation The History and Politics of Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3338-8158 Fadhli Lukman 01 eng 00 366 03 20 Al Qur'an dan Terjemahnya 04 BP131.15.I5 12 HRCG 10 REL006020 12 CFF 20 Indonesia 10 LAN009010 12 CFP 20 translation 20 Qur'ān 20 state 20 politicisation 20 tafsīr 20 production 20 text 20 reception 01 06 03 00 This book studies the political and institutional project of Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya, the official translation of the Qurʾān into Indonesian by the Indonesian government.

His discovery and excavation of Tell Halaf in Syria marked an important contribution to knowledge of the ancient Middle East, while his massive study of the Bedouins is still consulted by scholars today. He was also an ardent German patriot, eager to support his country's pursuit of its "place in the sun". Excluded by his part-Jewish ancestry from the regular diplomatic service, Oppenheim earned a reputation as "the Kaiser's spy" because of his intriguing against the British in Cairo, as well as his plan, at the start of the First World War, to incite Muslims under British, French and Russian rule to a jihad against the colonial powers. After 1933, despite being half-Jewish according to the Nuremberg Laws, Oppenheim was not persecuted by the Nazis. In fact, he placed his knowledge of the Middle East and his connections with Muslim leaders at the service of the regime. Ranging widely over many fields—from war studies to archaeology and banking history—The Passion of Max von Oppenheim tells the gripping and at times unsettling story of one part-Jewish man's passion for his country in the face of persistent and, in his later years, genocidal anti-Semitism. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0030_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2013 06 15 9781909254206 06 15 9781909254213 06 15 9781909254220 06 15 9781800644571 06 15 9781909254237 06 15 9781909254244 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0030.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0030 99 04 urn:uuid:2a68c002-616e-4dd5-bed7-1ba7ddbbd72a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2a68c002-616e-4dd5-bed7-1ba7ddbbd72a 15 9781783749102 06 10.11647/OBP.0201 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 'The Philosophes' by Charles Palissot 1 B01 21 0000-0001-8476-1613 Jessica Goodman 2 B01 Olivier Ferret 01 eng 01 fre 00 234 03 20 Charles Palissot de Montenoy 12 HP 10 LCO008000 04 PQ2019.P25 12 HPS 20 Les Philosophes 10 PHI034000 12 2ADF 20 comedy 10 PHI019000 20 play 20 critical apparatus 20 translation 01 06 03 00 In 1760, the French playwright Charles Palissot de Montenoy wrote Les Philosophes – a scandalous farcical comedy about a group of opportunistic self-styled philosophers. Les Philosophes emerged in the charged historical context of the pamphlet wars surrounding the publication of Diderot and d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie, and delivered an oblique but acerbic criticism of the intellectuals of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, including the likes of Diderot and Rousseau.This book presents the first high-quality English translation of the play, including critical apparatus. The translation is based on Olivier Ferret’s edition, and renders the text into iambic pentameter to preserve the character of the original. Adaptations are further provided of Ferret’s introduction and notes.This masterful and highly accessible translation of Les Philosophes opens up this polemical text to a non-specialist audience. It will be a valuable resource to non-Francophone scholars and students working on the philosophical exchanges of the Enlightenment.Moreover, this translation – the result of a year-long project undertaken by Jessica Goodman with six of her undergraduate French students – expounds the value of collaboration between scholar and student, and, as such, provides a model for other language tutors embarking on translation projects with their students. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0201_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749089 06 15 9781783749096 06 15 9781783749102 06 15 9781800646124 06 15 9781783749133 06 15 9781783749119 06 15 9781783749126 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0201 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0201.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:9c6c8c83-8efc-402b-8ebe-872f4230b305 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9c6c8c83-8efc-402b-8ebe-872f4230b305 15 9781783749256 06 10.11647/OBP.0205 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Simplified Signs A Manual Sign-Communication System for Special Populations, Volume 1. 1 A01 John D.

Yet beyond the controversy lies a vital, underexplored side of Rorty’s work: his constructive vision for fostering democratic solidarity in a world shaped by contingency and uncertainty. This volume shifts focus from defending Rorty to applying his insights for today’s fractured, post-truth culture.Centered on Rorty’s "Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity" (1989), the collection explores how his pragmatism helps us reimagine philosophy as a cultural practice—one grounded not in timeless truths, but in shared hopes, vocabularies, and democratic cooperation. The volume brings together seven original essays that revisit Rortyan concepts like liberal ironism, poetic redescription, eirenism, and democratic solidarity, and explore their implications for social justice, feminist theory, public discourse, and the humanities.Rather than lament relativism or retreat into essentialism, these contributions demonstrate how Rorty’s philosophy offers practical, imaginative tools for navigating difference and building inclusive societies. Emphasizing creativity over certainty and solidarity over skepticism, this timely volume reclaims Rorty’s legacy as a philosopher of hope—and a resource for democratic renewal in our era of radical uncertainty. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0487_frontcover.png Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805117094 06 15 9781805117100 06 15 9781805117117 06 15 9781805117131 06 15 9781805117124 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0487.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0487 99 04 urn:uuid:898c98da-87ba-40fa-9879-47ceaa23968e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:898c98da-87ba-40fa-9879-47ceaa23968e 15 9781805116349 06 10.11647/OBP.0473 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Sounding the Bookshelf 1501 Music in a Year of Italian Printed Books 1 A01 21 0000-0003-4053-8916 Tim Shephard 2 A01 21 0009-0006-0507-1344 Oliver Doyle 3 A01 Ciara O’Flaherty 4 A01 Annabelle Page 5 A01 21 0000-0002-7571-3350 Laura Ştefănescu 01 eng 00 386 03 93 A 10 MUS020000 20 Renaissance 93 AVL 20 Italy 10 LIT004200 93 DSBB 10 HIS020000 20 music 93 NHDL 10 SOC002000 20 sound 20 hearing 93 JBCC 10 LAN027000 20 knowledge 10 PHI012000 10 PHI037000 01 06 03 00 This volume explores how everyday texts in Renaissance Italy engaged with music, sound, and hearing. Of the 358 known editions printed in 1501, only a few contained formal music notation or specialist theory. Yet a surprising wealth of musical knowledge emerges from religious texts, classical commentaries, lifestyle guides, poetry, and more. These sources—rarely penned by professional musicians—reflect the broader cultural presence of music in early 16th-century life, touching on themes like music’s moral influence, its role in education, and its scientific understanding. Drawing from an ambitious cross-disciplinary survey, this groundbreaking study repositions everyday references to music as vital to understanding Renaissance musical culture. It challenges scholars to look beyond elite and theoretical traditions, and instead engage with the rich, often-overlooked world of non-specialist musical discourse. Set against the backdrop of 1501—a landmark year when Ottaviano Petrucci revolutionized music printing—this book offers a compelling snapshot of how music was understood and discussed by ordinary readers in Renaissance Italy. By sounding out these diverse voices, the project reimagines the contours of music history and opens new avenues for musicological inquiry. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0473_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Sheffield Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116325 06 15 9781805116332 06 15 9781805116349 06 15 9781805116363 06 15 9781805116356 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0473.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0473 99 04 urn:uuid:4551f7b2-85c7-4224-becf-84189e6d978c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4551f7b2-85c7-4224-becf-84189e6d978c 15 9781805117636 06 10.11647/OBP.0503 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Spaces for Action A Repository of Tools and Methods for a Socially Situated Architectural Education 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2926-3678 Guido Cimadomo 2 B01 21 0000-0001-6681-6561 Ingrid C.

The book brings together over 80 creative tools that can be adapted to different classrooms, communities, and design challenges. The tools are grouped by teaching approaches—like cooperative teamwork, experiential learning, and transformative practices—and by the stages of the design process: identifying challenges, generating ideas, and putting them into action. Each entry gives a clear overview of what the tool is for, how it works, and what you need to make it happen. You’ll also find tips on group sizes, resources, and possible collaborators, making it easy to bring these methods straight into practice.What makes this toolkit unique is its strong link between theory and real-world application. Alongside detailed instructions, you’ll discover case studies from projects such as Service-Learning and “Live Projects,” which connect design directly to community needs. Open and adaptable, this repository is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to foster creativity, collaboration, and social impact in architecture education. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0503_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2026 06 15 9781805117612 06 15 9781805117629 06 15 9781805117636 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0503 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0503.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f28abf1f-68c0-437b-8440-660b3685cfe2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f28abf1f-68c0-437b-8440-660b3685cfe2 15 9781909254879 06 10.11647/OBP.0049 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Stories from Quechan Oral Literature 1 A01 A.M.

They are well known as warriors, artists, and traders, and they also have a rich oral tradition. The stories in this volume were told by tribal elders in the 1970s and early 1980s. The eleven narratives in this volume take place at the beginning of time and introduce the reader to a variety of traditional characters, including the infamous Coyote and also Kwayúu the giant, Old Lady Sanyuuxáv and her twin sons, and the Man Who Bothered Ants. <break/>This book makes a long-awaited contribution to the oral literature and mythology of the American Southwest, and its format and organization are of special interest. Narratives are presented in the original language and in the storytellers’ own words. A prosodically-motivated broken-line format captures the rhetorical structure and local organization of the oral delivery and calls attention to stylistic devices such as repetition and syntactic parallelism. Facing-page English translation provides a key to the original Quechan for the benefit of language learners. The stories are organized into "story complexes”, that is, clusters of narratives with overlapping topics, characters, and events, told from diverse perspectives. In presenting not just stories but story complexes, this volume captures the art of storytelling and illuminates the complexity and interconnectedness of an important body of oral literature. Stories from Quechan Oral Literature provides invaluable reading for anyone interested in Native American cultural heritage and oral traditions more generally. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0049_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2014 06 15 9781909254855 06 15 9781909254862 06 15 9781909254879 06 15 9781800644762 06 15 9781909254886 06 15 9781909254893 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0049.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0049 99 04 urn:uuid:cfe3c298-00e0-4cc1-b67e-795bbda94665 03 01 01 urn:uuid:cfe3c298-00e0-4cc1-b67e-795bbda94665 15 9781805115731 06 10.11647/OBP.0462 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Stories of Hope Reimagining Education 1 B01 21 0000-0002-1582-9394 Sandra Abegglen 2 B01 21 0000-0003-1280-0104 Tom Burns 3 B01 21 0000-0003-3161-5967 Richard F.

Students are disengaged, lecturers are burned out, and universities seem more preoccupied with rankings and revenue than with knowledge and wellbeing. But rather than dwell on the problems, this book focuses on solutions—on hope.Bringing together a diverse range of educators and practitioners, this collection showcases real-world innovations that challenge the status quo and offer glimpses of a more humane and inspiring educational future. From rethinking systems and curriculum design to fostering imaginative collaboration and exploring the role of technology, the book highlights practical, hopeful interventions that are already making a difference.This is not a manifesto of complaints but an invitation to reimagine education. The contributors offer fresh perspectives from around the world, illustrating how small but meaningful changes can transform learning spaces, empower educators, and inspire students. For academics, teachers, administrators, and anyone invested in the future of education, this book serves as both a source of inspiration and a call to action. It is an evolving ecosystem of ideas—grounded in practice, rich with possibility, and rooted in radical hope. Now is the time to create the change we wish to see. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0462_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115717 06 15 9781805115724 06 15 9781805115731 06 15 9781805115755 06 15 9781805115748 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0462 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0462.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:dc555850-7655-4fe0-b6b5-421fc76b8d6d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:dc555850-7655-4fe0-b6b5-421fc76b8d6d 15 9781909254619 06 10.11647/OBP.0033 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Storytelling in Northern Zambia Theory, Method, Practice and Other Necessary Fictions 1 A01 Robert Cancel 2 Z01 21 0000-0002-2262-0986 Mark Turin 01 eng 00 294 03 12 JHMC 04 LB1042 10 LIT004010 20 Zambian stories 12 JFHF 10 SOC002010 20 storytelling 12 2H 20 oral history 10 SOC011000 20 oral literature 20 African folklore studies 20 African storytelling 20 Bemba language 01 06 03 00 More than just a book, Storytelling in Northern Zambia lets you watch videos of the storytellers while you read. Storytelling plays an important part in the vibrant cultural life of Zambia and in many other communities across Africa. This innovative book provides a collection and analysis of oral narrative traditions as practiced by five Bemba-speaking ethnic groups in Zambia. The integration of newly digitalised audio and video recordings into the text enables the reader to encounter the storytellers themselves and hear their narratives as they were recounted during Robert Cancel’s research trips to Zambia. Robert Cancel's thorough critical interpretation, combined with these newly digitalised audio and video materials, makes Storytelling in Northern Zambia a much needed addition to the slender corpus of African folklore studies that deal with storytelling performance. Cancel threads his way between the complex demands of African fieldwork studies, folklore theory, narrative modes, reflexive description and simple documentation and succeeds in bringing to the reader a set of performers and their performances that are vivid, varied and instructive. He illustrates this living narrative tradition with a wide range of examples, and highlights the social status of narrators and the complex local identities that are at play. Cancel’s innovative study tells us not only about storytelling but sheds light on the study of oral literatures throughout Africa and beyond. Its innovative format, meanwhile, explores new directions in the integration of primary source material into scholarly texts. This book is part of our World Oral Literature Series in conjunction with the World Oral Literature Project. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0033_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2013 06 15 9781909254596 06 15 9781909254602 06 15 9781909254619 06 15 9781800644601 06 15 9781909254626 06 15 9781909254633 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0033.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0033 99 04 urn:uuid:e47bf0e6-1baf-4119-b845-2f69decc6859 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e47bf0e6-1baf-4119-b845-2f69decc6859 15 9781783746828 06 10.11647/OBP.0164 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew 1 B01 Shai Heijmans 01 eng 00 238 03 12 HRCG 20 Mishnah 04 PJ4908 10 REL006020 12 CFF 10 LAN009010 20 Talmud 12 CFP 20 Jewish text 20 Palestine 20 Babylonia 20 Rabbinic Hebrew 01 06 03 00 This volume presents a collection of articles centring on the language of the Mishnah and the Talmud – the most important Jewish texts (after the Bible), which were compiled in Palestine and Babylonia in the latter centuries of Late Antiquity. Despite the fact that Rabbinic Hebrew has been the subject of growing academic interest across the past century, very little scholarship has been written on it in English.Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew addresses this lacuna, with eight lucid but technically rigorous articles written in English by a range of experienced scholars, focusing on various aspects of Rabbinic Hebrew: its phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and lexicon. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Rabbinic studies alike, and constitutes the first in a new series, Studies in Semitic Languages and Cultures, in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0164_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783746804 06 15 9781783746811 06 15 9781783746828 06 15 9781800645813 06 15 9781783747689 06 15 9781783746835 06 15 9781783746842 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0164.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0164 99 04 urn:uuid:ff10a672-857b-4adb-b6bb-c54104eb277d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ff10a672-857b-4adb-b6bb-c54104eb277d 15 9781783749379 06 10.11647/OBP.0207 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Studies in Semitic Vocalisation and Reading Traditions 1 B01 Aaron D.

The papers focus on sources representative of a period that stretches from late antiquity until the Middle Ages. A large proportion of them concern reading traditions of Biblical Hebrew, especially the vocalisation notation systems used to represent them. Also discussed are orthography and the written representation of prosody.Beyond Biblical Hebrew, there are studies concerning Punic, Biblical Aramaic, Syriac, and Arabic, as well as post-biblical traditions of Hebrew such as piyyuṭ and medieval Hebrew poetry. There were many parallels and interactions between these various language traditions and the volume demonstrates that important insights can be gained from such a wide range of perspectives across different historical periods. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0207_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783749355 06 15 9781783749362 06 15 9781783749379 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0207 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0207.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:cd8be6da-bcc3-48fa-8e32-16d508617513 03 01 01 urn:uuid:cd8be6da-bcc3-48fa-8e32-16d508617513 15 9781783749492 06 10.11647/OBP.0209 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Studies in the Grammar and Lexicon of Neo-Aramaic 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2550-9896 Geoffrey Khan 2 B01 21 0000-0002-9407-1453 Paul M.

Due to upheavals in the Middle East over the last one hundred years, thousands of speakers of Neo-Aramaic dialects have been forced to migrate from their homes or have perished in massacres. As a result, the dialects are now highly endangered. The dialects exhibit a remarkable diversity of structures. Moreover, the considerable depth of attestation of Aramaic from earlier periods provides evidence for pathways of change. For these reasons the research of Neo-Aramaic is of importance for more general fields of linguistics, in particular language typology and historical linguistics.The papers in this volume represent the full range of research that is currently being carried out on Neo-Aramaic dialects. They advance the field in numerous ways. In order to allow linguists who are not specialists in Neo-Aramaic to benefit from the papers, the examples are fully glossed. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0209_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781783749478 06 15 9781783749485 06 15 9781783749492 06 15 9781800646179 06 15 9781783749522 06 15 9781783749508 06 15 9781783749515 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0209 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0209.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:66f38984-04bd-4d59-ac4f-4f137c6ad6b4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:66f38984-04bd-4d59-ac4f-4f137c6ad6b4 15 9781800649217 06 10.11647/OBP.0330 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Studies in the Masoretic Tradition of the Hebrew Bible 1 B01 Daniel J.

The papers are innovative studies of a range of aspects of this Masoretic tradition at various periods, many of them presenting hitherto unstudied primary sources. They focus on traditions of vocalisation signs and accent signs, traditions of oral reading, traditions of Masoretic notes, as well as Rabbinic and exegetical texts.

The book covers Isaacs’ childhood through to the end of her life, making it of great interest to historians of British education and of psychoanalysis as well as to practicing early years teachers and psychoanalysts.Graham describes the origins of the theories behind Isaacs’ work while also placing her contribution into context with other contemporary educationists. He draws on a range of sources including her own published and unpublished papers, multiple archives and intimate letters. Such wealth of information and anecdotes gives an insight into her childhood, marriage, and career creating a deeper understanding of both Isaacs’ personal life and her achievements.As only the second biography on Isaacs, this book is a valuable resource that shines a light on the life of a figure who has often been neglected in this field of study. It provides a shift away from the various male-dominated accounts currently prevalent within this area of research. Susan Isaacs is crucial reading to raise our awareness and appreciation of the person behind the work, while also highlighting and celebrating the impact she has made on today’s education and psychoanalytic practice. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0297_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800647152 06 15 9781800647169 06 15 9781800647176 06 15 9781800647213 06 15 9781800647206 06 15 9781800647183 06 15 9781800647190 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0297.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0297 99 04 urn:uuid:069d918a-4fa5-41de-a035-1537a1a438b6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:069d918a-4fa5-41de-a035-1537a1a438b6 15 9781805111481 06 10.11647/OBP.0375 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Synopses and Lists Textual Practices in the Pre-Modern World 1 B01 21 0009-0004-2035-3505 Teresa Bernheimer 2 B01 21 0000-0003-3701-9429 Ronny Vollandt 01 eng 00 408 03 93 DSBB 12 HBJF 10 LIT004190 04 PN56.L54 20 Textual practices 12 DS 10 HIS002000 93 NHC 20 Pre-Modern Societies 12 CB 93 QRAC 10 REL017000 20 Synopses and Lists 20 Aksum, Constantinople, and Baghdad 12 CJ 10 PHI002000 12 CFA 20 Late Antiquity 20 Intellectual Traditions 01 06 03 00 Textual practices in pre-modern societies cover a great range of representations, from the literary to the pictorial. Among the most intriguing are synopses and lists. While lists provide a complete enumeration of ideas, people, events, or terms, synopses juxtapose one against the other. To understand how they were planned, produced, and consumed, is to gain insight into the practices of what one can call management of knowledge in a time before our own. The present volume is the product of two workshops held in 2019 and 2021 as part of the research focus Textual Practices in the Pre-Modern World: Texts and Ideas between Aksum, Constantinople, and Baghdad, which was generously supported and funded by the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU), Munich. Aiming to understand how synopses and lists function in the literatures of the great intellectual traditions of late antiquity—the ancient Near East, ancient philosophy, and the three monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—the volume offers a historical and transcultural perspective on synopses and lists, highlighting the centrality of these textual practices to allow storing, retrieving, selecting, and organising this knowledge. Both make deliberate – yet not always explicit – choices as to what is included and excluded, thereby creating lasting hierarchies and canons. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0375_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805111184 06 15 9781800649163 06 15 9781805111481 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0375.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0375 99 04 urn:uuid:26928aa4-c6b9-42ca-9ffb-12fbbea7f06d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:26928aa4-c6b9-42ca-9ffb-12fbbea7f06d 15 9781783740024 06 10.11647/OBP.0035 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ 10 01 02 Classics Textbooks 01 01 Tacitus, Annals, 15.20-23, 33-45 Latin Text, Study Aids with Vocabulary, and Commentary 1 A01 Mathew Owen 2 A01 Ingo Gildenhard 01 eng 02 lat 00 278 03 12 HBLA1 10 HIS002020 04 PA6705.A9 20 Tacitus 12 CFP 10 FOR033000 20 Nero 12 4KL 20 Annales 10 LIT004190 20 historiography 20 ancient Rome 20 Latin 20 ancient literature 01 06 03 00 The emperor Nero is etched into the Western imagination as one of ancient Rome’s most infamous villains, and Tacitus’ Annals have played a central role in shaping the mainstream historiographical understanding of this flamboyant autocrat. This section of the text plunges us straight into the moral cesspool that Rome had apparently become in the later years of Nero’s reign, chronicling the emperor’s fledgling stage career including his plans for a grand tour of Greece; his participation in a city-wide orgy climaxing in his publicly consummated ‘marriage’ to his toy boy Pythagoras; the great fire of AD 64, during which large parts of central Rome went up in flames; and the rising of Nero’s ‘grotesque’ new palace, the so-called ‘Golden House’, from the ashes of the city. This building project stoked the rumours that the emperor himself was behind the conflagration, and Tacitus goes on to present us with Nero’s gruesome efforts to quell these mutterings by scapegoating and executing members of an unpopular new cult then starting to spread through the Roman empire: Christianity. All this contrasts starkly with four chapters focusing on one of Nero’s most principled opponents, the Stoic senator Thrasea Paetus, an audacious figure of moral fibre, who courageously refuses to bend to the forces of imperial corruption and hypocrisy. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and a commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Owen’s and Gildenhard’s incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis and historical background to encourage critical engagement with Tacitus’ prose and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0035_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2013 06 15 9781783740000 06 15 9781783740017 06 15 9781783740024 06 15 9781800644625 06 15 9781783740031 06 15 9781783740048 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0035.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0035 99 04 urn:uuid:a2855a5c-88c1-4a90-970a-29c01996a3ae 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a2855a5c-88c1-4a90-970a-29c01996a3ae 15 9781783744701 06 10.11647/OBP.0137 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Tales of Darkness and Light Soso Tham's The Old Days of the Khasis 1 A01 Soso Tham 2 Z01 21 0000-0003-3907-1394 Janet Hujon 3 Z01 21 0000-0002-2262-0986 Mark Turin 01 eng 01 kha 00 100 03 12 DS 10 LCO004000 04 PL4451.9.T46 20 Soso Tham 12 DCQ 20 Khasi 10 LIT022000 12 DCF 20 long poem 10 POE009000 20 poetry 20 northeastern India 01 06 03 00 Soso Tham (1873–1940), the acknowledged poet laureate of the Khasis of northeastern India, was one of the first writers to give written poetic form to the rich oral tradition of his people.Poet of landscape, myth and memory, Soso Tham paid rich and poignant tribute to his tribe in his masterpiece The Old Days of the Khasis. Janet Hujon’s vibrant new translation presents the English reader with Tham’s long poem, which keeps a rich cultural tradition of the Khasi people alive through its retelling of old narratives and acts as a cultural signpost for their literary identity.This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Indian literature and culture and in the interplay between oral traditions and written literary forms.<break/>This edition includes:• Original text • English translation<break/>• Critical apparatus • Embedded audio recordings of the original text 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0137_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783744688 06 15 9781783744695 06 15 9781783744701 06 15 9781800645561 06 15 9781783745050 06 15 9781783744718 06 15 9781783744725 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0137 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0137.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:d7add46b-f9b3-4565-9496-28b6c8ed9ace 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d7add46b-f9b3-4565-9496-28b6c8ed9ace 15 9781805112143 06 10.11647/OBP.0388 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Tangible and Intangible Heritage in the Age of Globalisation 1 B01 21 0000-0002-8778-5132 Lilia Makhloufi 01 eng 00 256 03 93 AM 12 AMC 10 ARC014000 04 CC135 20 Heritage studies 20 Architecture and sociology 12 JFC 10 SOC002010 93 TNKX 10 ART009000 93 JHMC 12 RPC 20 Urban planning 10 POL002000 20 Preservation of built environment 93 RPC 12 TNKX 12 ABC 20 Globalisation 10 HIS039000 93 NHTB 01 06 03 00 This book offers a rich collection of perspectives on the complex interplay between tangible and intangible heritage. Offering a close and critical examination of heritage preservation in countries including Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Egypt, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Oman, Syria and Tunisia, these essays illustrate the need to redefine heritage as an interdisciplinary and intercultural concept. They interrogate heritage paradigms while also providing concrete recommendations to promote the preservation of physical heritage spaces, and the cultural practices and social relationships that depend on them.Rich in detail and broad in relevance, this book emphasises specific cultural realities while also reflecting on the impact of global historical, social, economic and political trends to heritage conservation, scrutinising the conditions of the past to adapt them to the needs of the present and future. It will be of great relevance to all those interested in the preservation and management of heritage sites, including architects, urban planners, landscape architects, historians, sociologists and archaeologists, as well as heritage marketing, museum and cultural tourism professionals. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0388_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112129 06 15 9781805112136 06 15 9781805112143 06 15 9781805112174 06 15 9781805112150 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0388 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0388.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:71d2f379-5ebe-4f20-a125-89c567ca336e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:71d2f379-5ebe-4f20-a125-89c567ca336e 15 9781783741397 06 10.11647/OBP.0071 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 OBP Series in Mathematics 01 01 Teaching Mathematics at Secondary Level 1 A01 Tony Gardiner 01 eng 00 332 03 12 JNT 10 MAT030000 04 QA11.2 20 Teaching 10 EDU029010 12 PB 20 secondary school 10 MAT000000 20 mathematics 12 YQM 20 Key Stage 3 12 PBC 20 secondary education 20 principles and concepts 01 06 03 00 Teaching Mathematics is nothing less than a mathematical manifesto. Arising in response to a limited National Curriculum, and engaged with secondary schooling for those aged 11 ̶ 14 (Key Stage 3) in particular, this handbook for teachers will help them broaden and enrich their students’ mathematical education. It avoids specifying how to teach, and focuses instead on the central principles and concepts that need to be borne in mind by all teachers and textbook authors—but which are little appreciated in the UK at present.<break/>This study is aimed at anyone who would like to think more deeply about the discipline of ‘elementary mathematics’, in England and Wales and anywhere else. By analysing and supplementing the current curriculum, Teaching Mathematics provides food for thought for all those involved in school mathematics, whether as aspiring teachers or as experienced professionals. It challenges us all to reflect upon what it is that makes secondary school mathematics educationally, culturally, and socially important. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0071_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783741373 06 15 9781783741380 06 15 9781783741397 06 15 9781800644960 06 15 9781783741403 06 15 9781783741410 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0071.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0071 99 04 urn:uuid:15fd0c6f-5674-4c9a-aafe-695fe451e8ab 03 01 01 urn:uuid:15fd0c6f-5674-4c9a-aafe-695fe451e8ab 15 9781805112747 06 10.11647/OBP.0398 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Teaching Music Performance in Higher Education Exploring the Potential of Artistic Research 1 B01 21 0000-0002-0212-9030 Helen Julia Minors 2 B01 21 0000-0002-4704-5420 Stefan Östersjö 3 B01 21 0000-0001-9123-1733 Gilvano Dalagna 4 B01 21 0000-0002-2255-2063 Jorge Salgado Correia 01 eng 00 340 03 10 EDU029050 20 Higher Music Performance Education 04 MT18 93 YPAD 93 AVS 10 EDU057000 20 Music pedagogy 20 Interpretation and performance research 10 MUS041000 20 Student-centred approaches 20 Music industry 20 Student-centered approaches 01 06 03 00 Higher Music Performance Education, as taught and learned in universities and conservatoires in Europe, is undergoing transformation. Since the nineteenth century, the master-apprentice pedagogical model has dominated, creating a learning environment that emphasises the development of technical skills rather than critical and creative faculties. This book contributes to the renewal of this field by being the first to address the potential of artistic research in developing student-centred approaches and greater student autonomy. This potential is demonstrated in chapters illustrating artistic research projects that are embedded within higher music education courses across Europe, with examples ranging from instrumental tuition and ensemble work to the development of professional employability skills and inclusive practices. Bringing together diverse and experienced voices working within Higher Music Education but often also as professional performers, this edited collection pairs critical reflection with artistic insight to present new approaches to curricula for teaching interpretation and performance. It calls for greater collaboration between Higher Education and professional music institutions to create closer bonds with music industries and, thereby, improve students’ career opportunities. Teaching Music Performance in Higher Education will appeal to scholars, performers, teachers, but also students whose interests centre on innovative practices in conservatoires and music departments. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0398_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805112723 06 15 9781805112730 06 15 9781805112747 06 15 9781805112778 06 15 9781805112754 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0398.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0398 99 04 urn:uuid:0d1b85bd-17a8-43c5-8fb0-888895909913 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0d1b85bd-17a8-43c5-8fb0-888895909913 15 9781800641846 06 10.11647/OBP.0253 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Technology, Media Literacy, and the Human Subject A Posthuman Approach 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2392-2169 Richard S.

How are we transformed by the many media infrastructures around us? We are immersed in a world mediated by information and communication technologies (ICTs). From hardware like smartphones, smartwatches, and home assistants to software like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, our lives have become a complex, interconnected network of relations. Scholarship on media literacy has tended to focus on developing the skills to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media messages without considering or weighing the impact of the technological medium—how it enables and constrains both messages and media users. Additionally, there is often little attention paid to the broader context of interrelations which affect our engagement with media technologies.This book addresses these issues by providing a transdisciplinary method that allows for both practical and theoretical analyses of media investigations. Informed by postphenomenology, media ecology, philosophical posthumanism, and complexity theory the author proposes both a framework and a pragmatic instrument for understanding the multiplicity of relations that all contribute to how we affect—and are affected by—our relations with media technology. The author argues persuasively that the increased awareness provided by this posthuman approach affords us a greater chance for reclaiming some of our agency and provides a sound foundation upon which we can then judge our media relations.

By doing so this book sheds light into theoretical issues of more general significance, such as textual versus oral norms; the features of oral performance and improvisation; the role of the text in performance; the aesthetics and social dimension of performance; the significance of space in performance history and important considerations on repertoires of story-telling.<break/>Tellings and Texts is essential reading for anyone with an interest in South Asian culture and, more generally, in the theory and practice of oral literature, performance and story-telling. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0062_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 King's College London Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741021 06 15 9781783741038 06 15 9781783741045 06 15 9781800644892 06 15 9781783746415 06 15 9781783741052 06 15 9781783741069 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0062 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0062.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:19c8c38c-9262-4f37-891a-18f767dbf61c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:19c8c38c-9262-4f37-891a-18f767dbf61c 15 9781906924119 06 10.11647/OBP.0004 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 Telling Tales The Impact of Germany on English Children’s Books 1780-1918 1 A01 David Blamires 01 eng 00 476 03 20 Children's literature 12 DSY 10 LIT009000 04 PR129.G3 20 German literature 10 LIT004170 20 Baron Munchausen 20 Heidi 20 Swiss Family Robinson 20 Nutcracker 20 Brothers Grimm 20 fairytales 01 06 03 00 Germany has had a profound influence on English stories for children. The Brothers Grimm, The Swiss Family Robinson and Johanna Spyri’s Heidi quickly became classics but, as David Blamires clearly articulates in this volume, many other works have been fundamental in the development of English children’s stories during the 19th century and beyond. Telling Tales is the first comprehensive study of the impact of Germany on English children’s books, covering the period from 1780 to the First World War. Beginning with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, moving through the classics and including many other collections of fairytales and legends, it covers a wealth of translated and adapted material. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0004_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2009 06 15 9781906924096 06 15 9781906924102 06 15 9781906924119 06 15 9781800644311 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0004.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0004 99 04 urn:uuid:2e013a64-935f-4be4-9c51-3eac22929627 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2e013a64-935f-4be4-9c51-3eac22929627 15 9781805110828 06 10.11647/OBP.0354 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Tener Demasiado Ensayos Filosóficos sobre el Limitarismo 1 B01 21 0000-0002-2893-1814 Ingrid Robeyns 2 Z01 Héctor Iñaki Larrínaga Márquez 02 eng 01 spa 00 460 03 12 HP 20 Limitarismo 10 PHI000000 93 QD 12 HPCF 10 PHI019000 93 QDTS 20 Recursos materiales 12 HPS 93 KCP 20 Limitarismo económico 10 PHI034000 12 KCA 20 Limitarismo ecológico 10 POL023000 93 RND 20 Generaciones futuras 10 POL044000 12 RNA 20 Justicia distributiva 20 Justicia intergeneracional 01 06 03 00 'Tener demasiado' es el primer volumen académico dedicado al limitarismo: la idea de que el uso de los recursos económicos o de los ecosistemas no sobrepasen ciertos límites. Se trata de un concepto profundamente arraigado en el pensamiento económico y político, por lo que es posible encontrar premisas similares en pensadores como Platón, Aquino o Spinoza. No obstante, 'Tener demasiado' es el primer ejemplar en el campo de la filosofía política contemporánea en el que el limitarismo se explora en profundidad y con detalle.Asimismo, este estudio reúne por primera vez los mejores escritos de los principales teóricos del limitarismo, lo que le convierte en una contribución esencial al campo de la filosofía política, en general, y de las teorías sobre la justicia distributiva, en particular. Incluye tanto artículos seminales ya publicados como nuevos capítulos y se presenta como lectura indispensable para académicos y estudiantes de teoría política y filosofía, así como para todos aquellos interesados en cuestiones relacionadas con la justicia distributiva. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0354_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805110804 06 15 9781805110811 06 15 9781805110828 06 15 9781805110866 06 15 9781805110835 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0354.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0354 99 04 urn:uuid:4dda5bc2-7368-4dcb-b982-c314cfc00c5f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4dda5bc2-7368-4dcb-b982-c314cfc00c5f 15 9781783746637 06 10.11647/OBP.0161 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Tennyson’s Poems New Textual Parallels 1 A01 21 0000-0003-2455-3323 R.

H. Winnick identifies more than a thousand previously unknown instances in which Tennyson phrases of two or three to as many as several words are similar or identical to those occurring in prior works by other hands—discoveries aided by the proliferation of digitized texts and the related development of powerful search tools over the three decades since the most recent major edition of Tennyson’s poems was published.Each of these instances may be deemed an allusion (meant to be recognized as such and pointing, for definable purposes, to a particular antecedent text), an echo (conscious or not, deliberate or not, meant to be noticed or not, meaningful or not), or merely accidental. Unless accidental, Winnick writes, these new textual parallels significantly expand our knowledge both of Tennyson’s reading and of his thematic intentions and artistic technique. Coupled with the thousand-plus textual parallels previously reported by Christopher Ricks and other scholars, he says, they suggest that a fundamental and lifelong aspect of Tennyson’s art was his habit of echoing any work, ancient or modern, which had the potential to enhance the resonance or deepen the meaning of his poems.The new textual parallels Winnick has identified point most often to the King James Bible and to such canonical authors as Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Thomson, Cowper, Shelley, Byron, and Wordsworth. But they also point to many authors rarely if ever previously cited in Tennyson editions and studies, including Michael Drayton, Richard Blackmore, Isaac Watts, Erasmus Darwin, John Ogilvie, Anna Lætitia Barbauld, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, John Wilson, and—with surprising frequency—Felicia Hemans.Tennyson’s Poems: New Textual Parallels is thus a major new resource for Tennyson scholars and students, an indispensable adjunct to the 1987 edition of Tennyson’s complete poems edited by Christopher Ricks. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0161_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783746613 06 15 9781783746620 06 15 9781783746637 06 15 9781800645790 06 15 9781783746668 06 15 9781783746644 06 15 9781783746651 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0161.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0161 99 04 urn:uuid:c13b8011-9f08-491b-a334-650db131a4e3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c13b8011-9f08-491b-a334-650db131a4e3 15 9781800647749 06 10.11647/OBP.0308 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Poetic Edda A Dual-Language Edition 1 A01 Edward Pettit 01 eng 01 non 00 894 03 12 DSBB 10 LIT011000 04 PT7234.E5 20 translation 12 D 10 FIC014020 20 Old Norse-Icelandic mythology 12 2ACSX 20 heroic legend 10 POE022000 12 DC 20 medieval poems 20 Poetic Edda 20 Elder Edda 01 06 03 00 This book is an edition and translation of one of the most important and celebrated sources of Old Norse-Icelandic mythology and heroic legend, namely the medieval poems now known collectively as the Poetic Edda or Elder Edda. Included are thirty-six texts, which are mostly preserved in medieval manuscripts, especially the thirteenth-century Icelandic codex traditionally known as the Codex Regius of the Poetic Edda. The poems cover diverse subjects, including the creation, destruction and rebirth of the world, the dealings of gods such as Óðinn, Þórr and Loki with giants and each other, and the more intimate, personal tragedies of the hero Sigurðr, his wife Guðrún and the valkyrie Brynhildr. Each poem is provided with an introduction, synopsis and suggestions for further reading. The Old Norse texts are furnished with a textual apparatus recording the manuscript readings behind this edition’s emendations, as well as select variant readings. The accompanying translations, informed by the latest scholarship, are concisely annotated to make them as accessible as possible.As the first open-access, single-volume parallel Old Norse edition and English translation of the Poetic Edda, this book will prove a valuable resource for students and scholars of Old Norse literature. It will also interest those researching other fields of medieval literature (especially Old English and Middle High German), and appeal to a wider general audience drawn to the myths and legends of the Viking Age and subsequent centuries. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0308_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800647725 06 15 9781800647732 06 15 9781800647749 06 15 9781800647787 06 15 9781800647770 06 15 9781800647756 06 15 9781800647763 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0308 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0308.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a590e991-d685-471f-8dea-0c78b54f4500 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a590e991-d685-471f-8dea-0c78b54f4500 15 9781783747467 06 10.11647/OBP.0176 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19 Prelude to the Holocaust 1 Z01 21 0000-0003-4522-9936 Maurice Wolfthal 01 eng 01 yid 00 116 03 04 D639.J4 12 HBLW 10 HIS022000 20 Jewish people 12 HBTZ 10 HIS010010 20 pogroms 10 HIS037070 12 JFSR1 20 Ukraine 20 Jewish communities 20 Volunteer Army 20 Russian White Army 20 Nokhem Schtif 20 Yiddish linguist 20 Yiddish 01 06 03 00 Between 1918 and 1921 an estimated 100,000 Jewish people were killed, maimed or tortured in pogroms in Ukraine. Hundreds of Jewish communities were burned to the ground and hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless and destitute, including orphaned children. A number of groups were responsible for these brutal attacks, including the Volunteer Army, a faction of the Russian White Army.The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19: Prelude to the Holocaust is a vivid and horrifying account of the atrocities committed by the Volunteer Army, written by Nokhem Schtif, an eminent Yiddish linguist and social activist who joined the relief efforts on behalf of the pogrom survivors in Kiev. Schtif’s testimony, published in 1923, was born from his encounters there and from the weighty archive of documentation amassed by the relief workers. This was one of the earliest efforts to systematically record human rights atrocities on a mass scale.Originally written in Yiddish and here skillfully translated and introduced by Maurice Wolfthal, The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19 brings to light a terrible and historically neglected series of persecutions that foreshadowed the Holocaust by twenty years. It is essential reading for academics and students in the fields of human rights, Jewish studies, Russian and Soviet studies, and Ukraine studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0176_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747443 06 15 9781783747450 06 15 9781783747467 06 15 9781800645905 06 15 9781783747498 06 15 9781783747474 06 15 9781783747481 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0176.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0176 99 04 urn:uuid:62d82013-26de-4f5b-ac9b-f7210abb1eec 03 01 01 urn:uuid:62d82013-26de-4f5b-ac9b-f7210abb1eec 15 9781783747061 06 10.11647/OBP.0169 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Politics of Language Contact in the Himalaya 1 B01 Selma K.

Promoting a linguistically and historically grounded perspective, The Politics of Language Contact in the Himalaya offers nuanced insights into language and its relation to power in this geopolitically complex region.Edited by respected scholars in the field, the collection comprises five new research contributions by established and early-career researchers who have been significantly engaged in the Himalayan region. Grounded in a commitment to theoretically informed area studies, and covering Tibet (China), Assam (India), and Nepal, each case study is situated within contemporary debates in sociolinguistics, political science, and language policy and planning. Bridging disciplines and transcending nation-states, the volume offers a unique contribution to the study of language contact and its political implications.The Politics of Language Contact in the Himalaya is essential reading for researchers in the fields of language policy and planning, applied linguistics, and language and literary education. The detailed introduction and concluding commentary make the collection accessible to all social scientists concerned with questions of language, and the volume as a whole will be of interest to scholars in anthropology, sociolinguistics, political science and Asian studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0169_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783747047 06 15 9781783747054 06 15 9781783747061 06 15 9781800645844 06 15 9781783747092 06 15 9781783747078 06 15 9781783747085 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0169 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0169.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:0ea743b8-e4f2-4259-bad8-a8fc5d3838a0 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0ea743b8-e4f2-4259-bad8-a8fc5d3838a0 15 9781800644182 06 10.11647/OBP.0292 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 The Power of Music An Exploration of the Evidence 1 A01 Susan Hallam 2 A01 21 0000-0002-8749-0799 Evangelos Himonides 01 eng 00 846 03 12 AVA 04 ML3830 10 MUS006000 20 music education 12 JHMC 10 MUS020000 20 music practice 12 JMH 10 MUS007000 20 psychology 20 listening to music 10 MUS015000 20 making music 20 music therapy 20 meta-research 01 06 03 00 Building on her earlier work, 'The Power of Music: A Research Synthesis of the Impact of Actively Making Music on the Intellectual, Social and Personal Development of Children and Young People', this volume by Susan Hallam and Evangelos Himonides is an important new resource in the field of music education, practice, and psychology.A well-signposted text with helpful subheadings, 'The Power of Music: An Exploration of the Evidence' gathers and synthesises research in neuroscience, psychology, and education to develop our understanding of the effects of listening to and actively making music. Its chapters address music’s relationship with literacy and numeracy, transferable skills, its impact on social cohesion and personal wellbeing, as well as the roles that music plays in our everyday lives.Considering evidence from large population samples to individual case studies and across age groups, the authors also pose important methodological questions to the research community. 'The Power of Music' defends qualitative research against a requirement for randomised control trials that can obscure the diverse and often fraught contexts in which people of all ages and backgrounds are exposed to, and engage with, music.This magnificent and comprehensive volume allows the evidence about the power of music to speak for itself, thus providing an essential directory for those researching music education and its social, personal, and cognitive impact across human ages and experiences. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0292_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800644168 06 15 9781800644175 06 15 9781800644182 06 15 9781800646766 06 15 9781800644212 06 15 9781800644199 06 15 9781800644205 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0292.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0292 99 04 urn:uuid:75e078a6-ed0d-4b23-9153-b374a65df225 03 01 01 urn:uuid:75e078a6-ed0d-4b23-9153-b374a65df225 15 9781805111368 06 10.11647/OBP.0364 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Predatory Paradox Ethics, Politics, and Practices in Contemporary Scholarly Publishing 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6926-5520 Amy Koerber 2 A01 21 0000-0001-7063-3397 Jesse C.

Upon a close examination, however, the definition of ‘predatory’ itself becomes slippery, evading neat boxes or lists which might seek to easily define and guard against it. This volume serves to foreground a nuanced representation of this multifaceted issue. In such a rapidly evolving landscape, this book becomes a field guide to its historical, political, and economic aspects, presenting thoughtful interviews, legal analysis and original research. Case studies from both European-American and non-European-American stakeholders emphasize the worldwide nature of the challenge faced by researchers of all levels.This coauthored book is structured into both textual and supplemental materials. Key takeaways, discussion questions, and complete classroom activities accompanying each chapter provide opportunities for engagement and real-world applications of these concepts. Crucially relevant to early career researchers and the senior faculty, library scholars, and administrators who mentor and support them, 'The Predatory Paradox: Ethics, Politics, and Practices in Contemporary Scholarly Publishing' offers practical recommendations for navigating the complex and often contradictory advice currently available. University instructors and teaching faculty will also find the reading essential in order to properly prepare both graduate and undergraduate students for the potential pitfalls endemic to scholarly publishing. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0364_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 National Science Foundation 01 grantnumber 1926348 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805111344 06 15 9781805111351 06 15 9781805111368 06 15 9781805111405 06 15 9781805111399 06 15 9781805111375 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0364 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0364.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:6c5ac548-c111-48bb-8651-7d3f363b0588 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6c5ac548-c111-48bb-8651-7d3f363b0588 15 9781783745562 06 10.11647/OBP.0140 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Red Countess Select Autobiographical and Fictional Writing of Hermynia Zur Mühlen (1883-1951) 1 A01 Hermynia Zur Mühlen 2 B01 Lionel Gossman 01 eng 00 451 03 12 BGH 10 BIO006000 04 PT2653.U7 20 World War I 10 BIO022000 20 First World War 10 BIO026000 20 Great War 20 women's history 20 memoir 20 biography 20 autobiography 20 Germany 20 European History 20 German literature 20 Austrian literature 20 feminism 20 Nazism 20 Austro-Hungarian Empire 01 06 03 00 Born into a distinguished aristocratic family of the old Habsburg Empire, Hermynia Zur Mühlen spent much of her childhood and early youth travelling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. Never comfortable with the traditional roles women were expected to play, she broke as a young adult both with her family and, after five years on his estate in the old Czarist Russia, with her German Junker husband, and set out as an independent, free-thinking individual, earning a precarious living as a writer. She translated over 70 books from English, French and Russian into German, notably the novels of Upton Sinclair, which she turned into best-sellers in Germany; produced a series of detective novels under a pseudonym; wrote seven engaging and thought-provoking novels of her own, six of which were translated into English; contributed countless insightful short stories and articles to newspapers and magazines; and, having become a committed socialist, achieved international renown in the 1920s with her Fairy Tales for Workers’ Children, which were widely translated including into Chinese and Japanese. Because of her fervent and outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she and her life-long Jewish partner, Stefan Klein, had to flee first Germany, where they had settled, and then, in 1938, her native Austria. They found refuge in England, where Zur Mühlen died, forgotten and virtually penniless, in 1951. This new, expanded edition contains: Zur Mühlen’s autobiographical memoir, The End and the Beginning; The editor’s detailed notes on the persons and events mentioned in the autobiography; A selection of Zur Mühlen’s short stories and two fairy tales; A synopsis of Zur Mühlen’s untranslated novel Our Daughters the Nazi Girls; An essay by the Editor on Zur Mühlen’s life and work; A bibliography of Zur Mühlen’s novels in English translation; A portfolio of selected illustrations of her work by George Grosz and Heinrich Vogeler; A free online supplement with additional original material 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0140_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783745548 06 15 9781783745555 06 15 9781783745562 06 15 9781800645592 06 15 9781783746095 06 15 9781783745579 06 15 9781783745586 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0140 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0140.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:c626ab74-3df2-4291-a871-030f76c129b5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c626ab74-3df2-4291-a871-030f76c129b5 15 9781805113553 06 10.11647/OBP.0415 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Samaritan Pentateuch An English Translation with a Parallel Annotated Hebrew Text 1 A01 Moshe Florentin 2 A01 21 0000-0001-9513-5837 Abraham Tal 01 eng 00 1124 03 04 BM925.E54 93 QRMF12 10 REL006060 20 Samaritan manuscript 20 Pentateuch 93 QRJF1 10 REL006400 10 HIS019000 20 Masoretic 93 QRVC 93 1FB 20 English translation 10 REL072000 20 Hebrew 20 grammatical analysis 01 06 03 00 This new translation into English seeks to introduce the reader to the character of the Samaritan version of the Pentateuch, while emphasising the fundamental differences between it and the Masoretic version.The translation is based on a grammatical analysis of each and every word in the text according to its oral pronunciation, informed by examination of the Samaritan translations into Aramaic and Arabic as well as other Samaritan and non-Samaritan sources.One of the most ancient and important Samaritan manuscripts of the Pentateuch, MS Nablus 6, copied in 1204 CE, serves to represent the Samaritan version.<break/>The English translation is placed in the left-hand column of each page, while the Samaritan original is displayed in the right-hand column.

Drawing on a lifetime of scholarly experience in six penetrating chapters, Teich examines the ways of investigating and understanding nature that matured during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, charting their progress towards science as we now know it and insisting on the essential interpenetration of such inquiry with its changing social environment. The Scientific Revolution was marked by the global expansion of trade by European powers and by interstate rivalries for a stake in the developing world market, in which advanced medieval China, remarkably, did not participate. It is in the wake of these happenings, in Teich's original retelling, that the Thirty Years War and the Scientific Revolution emerge as products of and factors in an uneven transition in European and world history: from natural philosophy to modern science, feudalism to capitalism, the late medieval to the early modern period. <break/>With a narrative that moves from pre-classical thought to the European institutionalisation of science – and a scope that embraces figures both lionised and neglected, such as Nicole Oresme, Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, Isaac Newton, René Descartes, Thaddeus Hagecius, Johann Joachim Becher – The Scientific Revolution Revisited illuminates the social and intellectual sea changes that shaped the modern world. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0054_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741229 06 15 9781783741236 06 15 9781783741243 06 15 9781800644816 06 15 9781783741250 06 15 9781783741267 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0054.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0054 99 04 urn:uuid:3e455063-abc7-4811-b6c2-de42e35e0c6e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3e455063-abc7-4811-b6c2-de42e35e0c6e 15 9781805111849 06 10.11647/OBP.0382 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Standard Language Ideology of the Hebrew and Arabic Grammarians of the ʿAbbasid Period 1 A01 Benjamin Paul Kantor 01 eng 00 232 03 20 Biblical Hebrew Grammar 12 CFF 93 CFF 04 PJ4527 10 REL006020 20 Arabic-speaking Jews 12 CFP 10 LAN009010 93 QRMF1 20 Language Ideology 20 ʿAbbasid Period 20 Standard Language Ideology 20 Medieval Hebrew Grammarians 01 06 03 00 As a discipline, the study of Biblical Hebrew grammar began largely among Arabic-speaking Jews of the Middle Ages, particularly in the ʿAbbasid period (750–1258 CE). Indeed, it has long been acknowledged by scholars that the Hebrew grammatical tradition, in many ways, grew up out of and alongside the Arabic grammatical tradition. Many concepts present in Hebrew grammar have their origins in the writings of Arabic grammarians of the ʿAbbasid period. And yet, as recent linguistic and anthropological work has shown, setting down ‘the grammar’ of a language can be as much an ideological or political activity as an academic one.In addition to the language itself, speech communities also share beliefs and attitudes about that language—what linguistic anthropologists would term a ‘language ideology’. Language ideology can have a dramatic impact on what forms of the language one regards as acceptable and what sort of rules one imposes on and through their description of the language. Nevertheless, while much work has been done on the interface between Hebrew and Arabic grammar and literature in the Middle Ages, interface of their respective language ideologies has yet to be treated theoretically or systematically.In the present book, then, we survey six specific characteristics of a ‘standard language ideology’ that appear in both the writings of the Hebrew grammarians who wrote in Judeo-Arabic and the Arabic grammarians during the ʿAbbasid period. Such striking lines of linguistic-ideological similarity suggest that it may not have been only grammatical concepts or literary genres that the medieval Hebrew grammarians inherited from the Arabic grammatical tradition, but a way of thinking about language as well. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0382_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805111825 06 15 9781805111832 06 15 9781805111849 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0382.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0382 99 04 urn:uuid:4c0a96a3-734a-4330-b8d6-78a3c642f8cd 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4c0a96a3-734a-4330-b8d6-78a3c642f8cd 15 9781805113768 06 10.11647/OBP.0420 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Struggle You Can’t See Experiences of Neurodivergent and Invisibly Disabled Students in Higher Education 1 A01 21 0000-0002-8462-2557 Ash Lierman 01 eng 00 282 03 93 4TW 10 EDU026000 04 LC4812 20 Neurodivergent students 10 EDU015000 20 Invisible disabilities 93 JNM 20 Higher education 93 JNSC 10 SOC029000 93 MKFK 10 PSY022010 20 Social justice 10 HEA039150 93 JNFK 20 Universal Design for Learning 20 Chronic illnesses 10 EDU048000 01 06 03 00 This book offers a comprehensive review of current research on the higher education experiences of neurodivergent undergraduate students and those with invisible disabilities. Grounded in principles of social justice and equity, this work draws from design thinking, the neurodiversity model, and Universal Design for Learning, to explore the context of higher education in relation to neurodivergent and disabled students.The author discusses findings from literature on the experiences of students with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, psychiatric disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and disabling chronic physical illnesses. The inclusion of students with chronic illnesses is particularly timely, given the rising prevalence of long COVID symptoms and other lasting health impacts among university-aged individuals. Moreover Ash Lierman, who has extensive experience of serving students marginalized students, gives voice to this community, thus providing both a synthesis of existing research, and highlighting the needs and challenges of the students themselves.The Struggle You Can’t See serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand and support this underserved population, offering insights for transformational change in higher education. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0420_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113744 06 15 9781805113751 06 15 9781805113768 06 15 9781805113782 06 15 9781805113775 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0420.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0420 99 04 urn:uuid:b9e742f1-3db2-4149-b55d-171d48f859d6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b9e742f1-3db2-4149-b55d-171d48f859d6 15 9781906924171 06 10.11647/OBP.0009 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 The Sword of Judith Judith Studies Across the Disciplines 1 B01 21 0000-0002-4734-0059 Kevin R.

It offers a rich, meticulously researched history of Shelley’s role as a playwright and dramatist and a reassessment of his "closet dramas" as performable pieces of theatre. With chapters on each of Shelley’s dramatic works, the book provides a thorough discussion of the poet’s stagecraft, and analyses performances of his plays from the Georgian period to today. In addition, Mulhallen offers details of the productions Shelley saw in England and Italy, many not identified before, as well as a vivid account of the actors and personalities that constituted the theatrical scene of his time. Her research reveals Shelley as an extraordinarily talented playwright, whose fascination with contemporary theatrical theory and practice seriously challenges the notion that he was a reluctant dramatist. Prof. Stephen Behrendt (Nebraska) has described the book as "wonderfully convincing" and "something wholly new in Shelley studies", while Prof. Tim Webb (Bristol) describes Mulhallen as having a "more precisely developed sense of the theatrical possibilities of Shelley's work than almost anybody who has written about Shelley". The Theatre of Shelley is essential reading for anyone interested in Romanticism, nineteenth-century culture and the history of theatre. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0011_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The Jessica E.

It is hoped that the book will help to break the mould of current grammatical descriptions of Biblical Hebrew and form a bridge between modern traditions of grammar and the school of the Masoretes of Tiberias. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0194_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748570 06 15 9781783748587 06 15 9781783748594 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0194 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0194.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:4e32c230-e711-4e32-a5ac-337dc02ea359 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4e32c230-e711-4e32-a5ac-337dc02ea359 15 9781783742202 06 10.11647/OBP.0091 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Reports Series 01 01 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the 21st Century A Living Document in a Changing World 1 B01 Gordon Brown 01 eng 00 144 03 12 JPA 04 K3238.31948 10 POL000000 20 Universal Declaration of Human Rights 20 Global Citizenship Commission 12 JPV 10 POL035010 20 Gordon Brown 10 POL035000 20 NYU 20 Global Institute for Advanced Study 20 global citizenship 01 06 03 00 The Global Citizenship Commission was convened, under the leadership of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the auspices of NYU’s Global Institute for Advanced Study, to re-examine the spirit and stirring words of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The result – this volume – offers a 21st-century commentary on the original document, furthering the work of human rights and illuminating the ideal of global citizenship. What does it mean for each of us to be members of a global community?<break/>Since 1948, the Declaration has stood as a beacon and a standard for a better world. Yet the work of making its ideals real is far from over. Hideous and systemic human rights abuses continue to be perpetrated at an alarming rate around the world. Too many people, particularly those in power, are hostile to human rights or indifferent to their claims. Meanwhile, our global interdependence deepens.<break/>Bringing together world leaders and thinkers in the fields of politics, ethics, and philosophy, the Commission set out to develop a common understanding of the meaning of global citizenship – one that arises from basic human rights and empowers every individual in the world. This landmark report affirms the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and seeks to renew the 1948 enterprise, and the very ideal of the human family, for our day and generation. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0091_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742189 06 15 9781783742196 06 15 9781783742202 06 15 9781800645103 06 15 9781783746071 06 15 9781783742219 06 15 9781783742226 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0091 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0091.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:c37a3a54-9b4a-42f1-af89-2d0dc43c6604 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c37a3a54-9b4a-42f1-af89-2d0dc43c6604 15 9781805113522 06 10.11647/OBP.0414 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 The Verb in Classical Hebrew The Linguistic Reality behind the Consecutive Tenses 1 A01 21 0000-0002-4667-548X Bo Isaksson 01 eng 00 749 03 93 CF 20 consecutive tenses 10 LAN006000 04 PJ4659 93 CFF 20 Classical Hebrew 10 LAN009010 93 CFK 10 FOR011000 20 verbal system 93 2CSJ 20 clause linking 20 Semitic syntax 20 discourse continuity 01 06 03 00 The consecutive tenses are fundamental in all descriptions of Classical Hebrew grammar. They are even basic to the textbooks on Biblical Hebrew. Being fundamental in the verbal system, and part of any beginner’s grammar, they pose a serious problem to a linguistic understanding of the verbal system, since grammars describe an alternation of ‘forms’ or ‘tenses’ in double pairs: wayyiqṭol alternates with its ‘equivalent’ qaṭal, and wə-qaṭal alternates with its ‘equivalent’ yiqṭol. This ‘enigma’ in the verbal system is handled in the book by recognising that the alternation of the consecutive tenses with other tenses, in the reality of the text, represents a linking of clauses. The ‘consecutive tenses’ are clause-types with a natural language connective wa- directly followed by a finite verbal morpheme, a type of clause that expressed continuity in the earliest stage of Semitic. The commonly held assumption that there is a special ‘consecutive waw’ is unwarranted. The use of the ‘consecutive’ clause-types in order to express discourse continuity indicates that Classical Hebrew has retained the old unmarked declarative word order of Semitic syntax. Seen in the light of recent research on the Tiberian reading tradition, the ‘consecutive’ wayyiqṭol can be analysed as a retention of the old Semitic past perfective *wa-yaqtul, which was pronounced wa-yiqṭol in Classical Hebrew. The ‘consecutive’ wə-qāṭal (pronounced wa-qaṭal in the classical language) constitutes the result of an internal Hebrew development into a construction (in the sense of Joan Bybee) already foreshadowed in the earliest Northwest Semitic languages. The book understands the ‘consecutive tenses’ as discourse continuity clauses, which typically form chains of main line clauses. Such chains can be interrupted by other types of clauses. This interruption is a clause linking that receives special attention in the interpretation of the Classical Hebrew verbal system. Chapter six presents a regenerated text linguistics founded on the new terminology. A clause linking approach is the central methodological procedure in this book. To this must be added diachronic typology in a comparative Semitic setting. The linguistic examples of clause linking are gathered from a large Classical Hebrew corpus, the Pentateuch and the Book of Judges, and made searchable in a database of 6559 non-archaic text records. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0414_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113508 06 15 9781805113515 06 15 9781805113522 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0414 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0414.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:f8941c4a-0178-4db5-b910-b5ad1c0b8296 03 01 01 urn:uuid:f8941c4a-0178-4db5-b910-b5ad1c0b8296 15 9781800643345 06 10.11647/OBP.0277 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 The Voice of the Century The Culture of Italian Bel Canto in Luisa Tetrazzini’s Recorded Interpretations 1 A01 21 0000-0001-6884-4697 Massimo Zicari 01 eng 00 232 03 12 AVX 20 bel canto 04 MT845 10 MUS051000 12 AVA 20 Luisa Tetrazzini 10 MUS007000 12 AVGC5 20 Italian operatic tradition 10 MUS041000 12 1DST 20 Rossini 20 Donizetti 20 Bellini 20 Verdi 01 06 03 00 The fields of performance studies, empirical musicology, and the musicology of recordings have seen a tremendous development in recent years, shedding new light on the recent history of our performing tradition and conveying essential information to music practitioners, critics and audiences.This innovative work considers the notion of bel canto and the manner in which this vibrant tradition lives in the records of Luisa Tetrazzini (1871-1940), one of the most celebrated sopranos ever. Tetrazzini, whose discographic career includes about 120 recordings, belongs to that generation of inspirational performers who heralded the dawn of a new era of music appreciation, alongside such iconic figures as Enrico Caruso, Adelina Patti and Nellie Melba.Drawing on a vast body of scholarship and a number of contemporary reviews, Massimo Zicari establishes Tetrazzini’s role in the Italian operatic tradition and its much disputed set of performing conventions. His transcriptions of her recorded interpretations from Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini and Verdi will prove invaluable to singers and conductors interested in a tradition that goes back to legendary figures such as Jenny Lind and Maria Malibran. The author also discusses her voice quality and technique, tempo flexibility, her use of vibrato and portamento—features of musical performance that question several widely-held, normative views about aesthetics and interpretative tradition.The volume includes eighty-eight musical examples and its closing section consists of the vocal scores of thirteen operatic arias. The musical material (both examples and transcriptions) is entirely original. This unique approach seeks to combine an academic perspective with the making of the music, in the hope that the plea for originality may be enhanced by models from the past. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0277_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Swiss National Science Foundation 01 grantnumber 10BP12_209286 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643321 06 15 9781800643338 06 15 9781800643345 06 15 9781800646797 06 15 9781800643376 06 15 9781800643352 06 15 9781800643369 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0277 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0277.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:78813578-b073-48f2-9f5f-847037d644dc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:78813578-b073-48f2-9f5f-847037d644dc 15 9781783748297 06 10.11647/OBP.0190 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 The Waning Sword Conversion Imagery and Celestial Myth in 'Beowulf' 1 A01 Edward Pettit 01 eng 00 562 03 12 DSBB 04 GR950.S9 10 LIT011000 20 Old English 12 D 20 Old English heroic poem 12 2ABA 20 Beowulf 20 Old Norse 20 god Ing/Yngvi-Freyr 20 medieval studies 20 medievalism 01 06 03 00 The image of a giant sword melting stands at the structural and thematic heart of the Old English heroic poem Beowulf. This meticulously researched book investigates the nature and significance of this golden-hilted weapon and its likely relatives within Beowulf and beyond, drawing on the fields of Old English and Old Norse language and literature, liturgy, archaeology, astronomy, folklore and comparative mythology.In Part I, Pettit explores the complex of connotations surrounding this image (from icicles to candles and crosses) by examining a range of medieval sources, and argues that the giant sword may function as a visual motif in which pre-Christian Germanic concepts and prominent Christian symbols coalesce.In Part II, Pettit investigates the broader Germanic background to this image, especially in relation to the god Ing/Yngvi-Freyr, and explores the capacity of myths to recur and endure across time. Drawing on an eclectic range of narrative and linguistic evidence from Northern European texts, and on archaeological discoveries, Pettit suggests that the image of the giant sword, and the characters and events associated with it, may reflect an elemental struggle between the sun and the moon, articulated through an underlying myth about the theft and repossession of sunlight.The Waning Sword: Conversion Imagery and Celestial Myth in 'Beowulf' is a welcome contribution to the overlapping fields of Beowulf-scholarship, Old Norse-Icelandic literature and Germanic philology. Not only does it present a wealth of new readings that shed light on the craft of the Beowulf-poet and inform our understanding of the poem’s major episodes and themes; it further highlights the merits of adopting an interdisciplinary approach alongside a comparative vantage point. As such, The Waning Sword will be compelling reading for Beowulf-scholars and for a wider audience of medievalists. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0190_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783748273 06 15 9781783748280 06 15 9781783748297 06 15 9781800646025 06 15 9781783748327 06 15 9781783748303 06 15 9781783748310 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0190.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0190 99 04 urn:uuid:cc1c7f14-65e9-4467-9a26-08949314df6e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:cc1c7f14-65e9-4467-9a26-08949314df6e 15 9781800648791 06 10.11647/OBP.0324 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Thinking Blue / Writing Red Marxism and the (Post)Human 1 A01 Stephen Tumino 01 eng 00 308 03 04 HX523 93 JHMC 12 JHMC 20 Marxism 10 SOC002010 20 Contemporary culture 12 HBLX 93 JHBA 10 SOC026040 12 JPFC 93 KCSA 10 POL042060 20 Social movements 20 Capitalism 12 JFM 93 JPFC 10 POL005000 20 globalization 20 Cultural politics 20 cultural theory 20 neoliberalism 01 06 03 00 Thinking Blue/Writing Red interrogates contemporary culture across a range of texts, from the pandemic (‘Covid’ and ‘Trump Speak’) to high theory (Melville's narratives) and popular culture (Beyoncé's ‘Formation’ and Super Bowl performance, Twin Peaks , metamodern ‘cli-fi’ films). Inspired by Derrida’s idea of the secret, Tumino examines the significance of social movements (Black Lives Matter, Occupy, alter-globalization) and naïve art (Darger, Ryden) to argue that these texts speak of the secrets that capitalism cannot speak.

The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow, Thomas Annan’s photographic record of this central section of the city prior to its demolition in accordance with the City of Glasgow Improvements Act of 1866, is widely recognized as a classic of nineteenth-century documentary photography. Annan’s achievement as a photographer of paintings and a portrait and landscape photographer is less widely known. Thomas Annan: Photographer of Victorian Scotland offers a handy, comprehensive and copiously illustrated overview of the full range of the photographer’s work. The book opens with a brief account of the immediate context of Annan’s career as a photographer: the astonishing florescence of photography in Victorian Scotland. Successive chapters deal with each of the main fields of his activity, touching along the way on issues such as the nineteenth-century debate over the status of photography — a mechanical practice or an artistic one? — and the still ongoing controversies surrounding the documentary photograph in particular. While the text itself is intended for the general reader, extensive endnotes amplify particular themes and offer guidance to readers interested in pursuing these themes further. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0057_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 The University Committee on Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Princeton University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2015 06 15 9781783741274 06 15 9781783741281 06 15 9781783741298 06 15 9781800644847 06 15 9781783746460 06 15 9781783741304 06 15 9781783741311 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0057.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0057 99 04 urn:uuid:0ddeb731-9a49-4c5a-b1b2-e2f97b0a2181 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0ddeb731-9a49-4c5a-b1b2-e2f97b0a2181 15 9781800640917 06 10.11647/OBP.0235 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers A Primer for the Non-English Speaker 1 A01 21 0000-0002-6467-9812 Gábor L.

Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers is the distillation of Lövei’s lecture notes and experience gathered over two decades; it is the coursebook many have been waiting for.The book’s three main sections correspond with the three main stages of a paper’s journey from idea to print: planning, writing, and publishing. Within the book’s chapters, complex questions such as ‘How to write the introduction?’ or ‘How to submit a manuscript?’ are broken down into smaller, more manageable problems that are then discussed in a straightforward, conversational manner, providing an easy and enjoyable reading experience.Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers stands out from its field by targeting scientists whose first language is not English. While also touching on matters of style and grammar, the book’s main goal is to advise on first principles of communication.This book is an excellent resource for any student or scientist wishing to learn more about the scientific publishing process and scientific communication. It will be especially useful to those coming from outside the English-speaking world and looking for a comprehensive guide for publishing their work in English. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0235_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Aarhus University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640894 06 15 9781800640900 06 15 9781800640917 06 15 9781800646384 06 15 9781800640948 06 15 9781800640924 06 15 9781800640931 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0235.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0235 99 04 urn:uuid:a1305745-7e87-4fb0-b7fd-918c58ae00e4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a1305745-7e87-4fb0-b7fd-918c58ae00e4 15 9781909254411 06 10.11647/OBP.0037 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 10 01 02 World Oral Literature Series 01 01 Xiipúktan (First of All) Three Views of the Origins of the Quechan People 1 A01 George Bryant 2 A01 Amy Miller 01 eng 00 220 03 04 E99.Y94 20 George Bryant 12 JHMC 10 SOC002010 20 Amy Miller 10 FOR031000 12 JFHF 12 2J 10 LIT004060 20 Quechan people 20 Quechan language 20 A Yuma Account of Origins 20 World Oral Literature Series 01 06 03 00 The Quechan people live along the lower part of the Colorado River in the United States. According to tradition, the Quechan and other Yuman people were created at the beginning of time, and their Creation myth explains how they came into existence, the origin of their environment, and the significance of their oldest traditions. The Creation myth forms the backdrop against which much of the tribe’s extensive oral literature may be understood. At one time there were almost as many different versions of the Quechan creation story as there were Quechan families. Now few people remember them. This volume, presented in the Quechan language with facing-column translation, provides three views of the origins of the Quechan people. One synthesizes narrator George Bryant’s childhood memories and later research. The second is based upon J. P. Harrington’s A Yuma Account of Origins (1908). The third provides a modern view of the origins of the Quechan, beginning with the migration from Asia to the New World and ending with the settlement of the Yuman tribes at their present locations.

The novel is set in the aftermath of the Greek War of Independence. The story follows a young Greek man, desperate to present himself as a European aristocrat, who finds himself entangled with Xouth—an ape who is, in fact, a German travel writer transformed as punishment for his vanity and prejudices.Through the interactions between the protagonist and the ape-valet, Pitsipios skewers the pretensions of Greece’s newly minted elites, exposing the often comical efforts to mimic Western manners and ideals. The novel lampoons the wave of Western travel writers who ‘discovered’ Greece, poking fun at their colonial attitudes and superficial observations. The figure of Xouth serves as both a mirror and a caricature, reflecting the absurdities of identity, authenticity, and cultural imitation in a society striving to define itself between East and West.Translated in English for the first time, with an expansive Introduction by Neo G. Christodoulides, the novel explores themes of national identity, the pitfalls of mimicry, and the complexities of cultural exchange. Rich with allusions to both Greek and European literary traditions, Pitsipios draws sharp parallels between his characters’ quests for legitimacy and the real historical debates around language, class, and belonging in 19th-century Greece. The novel’s polyglossic style—a blend of archaic, official, and colloquial Greek—further emphasises the layered and fractured nature of Greek identity at the time.Despite its initial obscurity, the novel’s relevance endures: its sharp satire and insightful social analysis make it not just a humorous adventure, but a revealing document of post-revolutionary Greece and its ongoing negotiations with modernity, Western influence, and self-perception. 'Xouth, the Ape' is a hidden gem that deserves renewed attention from readers, scholars, and anyone fascinated by the crossroads of cultures. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0493_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805117179 06 15 9781805117186 06 15 9781805117193 06 15 9781805117216 06 15 9781805117209 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0493.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0493 99 04 urn:uuid:dec04488-faa2-4a6a-a431-6d8fc75fd086 03 01 01 urn:uuid:dec04488-faa2-4a6a-a431-6d8fc75fd086 15 9781783744565 06 10.11647/OBP.0135 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Yeats Annual 01 01 Yeats's Legacies Yeats Annual No. 21 1 B01 Warwick Gould 01 eng 00 684 03 12 DSC 10 LIT014000 04 PR5906 20 William Butler Yeats 20 Ireland 10 LIT004120 10 POE005020 20 poetry 20 drama 20 Institute of English Studies 01 06 03 00 The two great Yeats Family Sales of 2017 and the legacy of the Yeats family’s 80-year tradition of generosity to Ireland’s great cultural institutions provide the kaleidoscope through which these advanced research essays find their theme. Hannah Sullivan’s brilliant history of Yeats’s versecraft challenges Poundian definitions of Modernism; Denis Donoghue offers unique family memories of 1916 whilst tracing the political significance of the Easter Rising; Anita Feldman addresses Yeats’s responses to the Rising’s appropriation of his symbols and myths, the daring artistry of his ritual drama developed from Noh, his poetry of personal utterance, and his vision of art as a body reborn rather than a treasure preserved amid the testing of the illusions that hold civilizations together in ensuing wars. Warwick Gould looks at Yeats as founding Senator in the new Free State, and his valiant struggle against the literary censorship law of 1929 (with its present-day legacy of Irish anti-blasphemy law still presenting a constitutional challenge). Drawing on Gregory Estate documents, James Pethica looks at the evictions which preceded Yeats’s purchase of Thoor Ballylee in Galway; Lauren Arrington looks back at Yeats, Ezra Pound, and the Ghosts of The Winding Stair (1929) in Rapallo. Having co-edited both versions of A Vision, Catherine Paul offers some profound reflections on ‘Yeats and Belief’. Grevel Lindop provides a pioneering view of Yeats’s impact on English mystical verse and on Charles Williams who, while at Oxford University Press, helped publish the Oxford Book of Modern Verse. Stanley van der Ziel looks at the presence of Shakespeare in Yeats’s Purgatory. William H. O’Donnell examines the vexed textual legacy of his late work, On the Boiler while Gould considers the challenge Yeats’s intentionalism posed for once-fashionable post-structuralist editorial theory. John Kelly recovers a startling autobiographical short story by Maud Gonne. While nine works of current biographical, textual and literary scholarship are reviewed, Maud Gonne is the focus of debate for two reviewers, as are Eva Gore-Booth, Constance and Casimir Markievicz, Rudyard Kipling, David Jones, T. S. Eliot and his presence on the radio.<break/> 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0135_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783744541 06 15 9781783744558 06 15 9781783744565 06 15 9781800645547 06 15 9781783744572 06 15 9781783744589 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0135.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0135 99 04 urn:uuid:325f05bf-e46d-4d35-a1cc-6d9a32da6bbc 03 01 01 urn:uuid:325f05bf-e46d-4d35-a1cc-6d9a32da6bbc 15 9781783740192 06 10.11647/OBP.0038 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 10 01 02 Yeats Annual 01 01 Yeats's Mask Yeats Annual No. 19 1 B01 Margaret Mills Harper 2 B01 Warwick Gould 01 eng 00 496 03 12 DSC 10 LIT004120 04 PR5907 20 William Butler Yeats 10 POE005020 20 Yeats Annual 20 Warwick Gould 20 Margaret Mills Harper 20 Yeats's Mask 20 Institute of English Studies 20 Irish literature 20 Irish poetry 01 06 03 00 Yeats’s Mask, Yeats Annual No. 19 is a special issue in this renowned research-level series. Fashionable in the age of Wilde, the Mask changes shape until it emerges as Mask in the system of A Vision. Chronologically tracing the concept through Yeats’s plays and those poems written as ‘texts for exposition’ of his occult thought which flowers in A Vision itself (1925 and 1937), the volume also spotlights ‘The Mask before The Mask’ numerous plays including Cathleen Ni-Houlihan, The King’s Threshold, Calvary, The Words upon the Window-pane, A Full Moon in March and The Death of Cuchulain. There are excurses into studies of Yeats’s friendship with the Oxford don and cleric, William Force Stead, his radio broadcasts, the Chinese contexts for his writing of ‘Lapis Lazuli’. His self-renewal after The Oxford Book of Modern Verse, and the key occult epistolary exchange ‘Leo Africanus’, edited from MSS by Steve L. Adams and George Mills Harper, is republished from the elusive Yeats Annual No. 1 (1982). The essays are by David Bradshaw, Michael Cade-Stewart, Aisling Carlin, Warwick Gould, Margaret Mills Harper, Pierre Longuenesse, Jerusha McCormack, Neil Mann, Emilie Morin, Elizabeth Müller and Alexandra Poulain, with shorter notes by Philip Bishop and Colin Smythe considering Yeats’s quatrain upon remaking himself and the pirate editions of The Land of Heart’s Desire. Ten reviews focus on various volumes of the Cornell Yeats MSS Series, his correspondence with George Yeats, and numerous critical studies. Yeats Annual is published by Open Book Publishers in association with the Institute of English Studies, University of London. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0038_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2013 06 15 9781783740178 06 15 9781783740185 06 15 9781783740192 06 15 9781800644656 06 15 9781783740208 06 15 9781783740215 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0038 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0038.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:1f0a2f4f-7a52-46d4-88af-c652a579272e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1f0a2f4f-7a52-46d4-88af-c652a579272e 15 9781783743308 06 10.11647/OBP.0113 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Zombies in Western Culture A Twenty-First Century Crisis 1 A01 John Vervaeke 2 A01 Filip Miscevic 3 A01 Christopher Mastropietro 01 eng 00 104 03 04 GR581 12 JFC 10 PER004130 20 Zombies 12 JFCA 10 PER004030 20 popular culture 10 FIC028070 12 JFD 20 media studies 12 APF 10 REL062000 20 Western culture 20 apocalypse 20 alienation 20 crisis of meaning 20 cultural studies 01 06 03 00 Why has the zombie become such a pervasive figure in twenty-first-century popular culture? John Vervaeke, Christopher Mastropietro and Filip Miscevic seek to answer this question by arguing that particular aspects of the zombie, common to a variety of media forms, reflect a crisis in modern Western culture. The authors examine the essential features of the zombie, including mindlessness, ugliness and homelessness, and argue that these reflect the outlook of the contemporary West and its attendant zeitgeists of anxiety, alienation, disconnection and disenfranchisement. They trace the relationship between zombies and the theme of secular apocalypse, demonstrating that the zombie draws its power from being a perversion of the Christian mythos of death and resurrection. Symbolic of a lost Christian worldview, the zombie represents a world that can no longer explain itself, nor provide us with instructions for how to live within it.The concept of 'domicide' or the destruction of home is developed to describe the modern crisis of meaning that the zombie both represents and reflects. This is illustrated using case studies including the relocation of the Anishinaabe of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, and the upheaval of population displacement in the Hellenistic period. Finally, the authors invoke and reformulate symbols of the four horseman of the apocalypse as rhetorical analogues to frame those aspects of contemporary collapse that elucidate the horror of the zombie.Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis is required reading for anyone interested in the phenomenon of zombies in contemporary culture. It will also be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience including students and scholars of culture studies, semiotics, philosophy, religious studies, eschatology, anthropology, Jungian studies, and sociology. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0113_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743285 06 15 9781783743292 06 15 9781783743308 06 15 9781800645325 06 15 9781783744169 06 15 9781783743315 06 15 9781783743322 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0113 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0113.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:21e8a235-103d-40a1-a488-bba144f862d1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:21e8a235-103d-40a1-a488-bba144f862d1 15 9781805114741 06 10.11647/OBP.0441 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Αncient Greek II A 21st-Century Approach 1 A01 Philip S.

Peek draws on his twenty-five years of teaching experience to present the ancient Greek language in an imaginative and accessible way that promotes creativity, deep learning, and diversity.The course is built on three pillars: memory, analysis, and logic. Readers memorize the top 550 most frequently occurring ancient Greek words, the essential word endings, the eight parts of speech, and the grammatical concepts they will most frequently encounter when reading authentic ancient texts. Analysis and logic exercises enable the identification of clitics and full words as well as the translation and parsing of genuine ancient Greek sentences, with compelling reading selections in English and in Greek offering starting points for contemplation, debate, and reflection. A series of thirty entries by James F. Patterson, using a simplified morphophonemic approach to understanding language improve readers’ understanding of word formation, their vocabulary, and their ability to read and understand Ancient Greek.This combination of memory-based learning and concept- and skill-based learning gradually builds the confidence of the reader, teaching them how to learn by guiding them from a familiarity with the basics to proficiency in reading this beautiful language. Ancient Greek II: A 21st-Century Approach is written for high-school and university students, but is an instructive and rewarding text for anyone who wishes to learn ancient Greek. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0441_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114727 06 15 9781805114734 06 15 9781805114741 06 15 9781805114765 06 15 9781805114758 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0441 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0441.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:6e7bfa1d-afbe-4881-af3f-e4fa09c08155 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6e7bfa1d-afbe-4881-af3f-e4fa09c08155 15 9781805116653 06 10.11647/OBP.0480 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Field Guides Series 01 01 Польові зйомки Оцифрування документальної спадщини у складних умовах 1 B01 Джоді Баттерворт 2 B01 Ендрю Пірсон 3 B01 Патрік Сазерленд 4 B01 21 0000-0001-5331-6592 Адам Фаркухар 02 eng 01 ukr 00 176 03 93 GLP 10 SOC019000 20 посібник для наукового проєкту з оцифрування 93 GLC 10 PHO007000 20 Британська бібліотека 10 SOC024000 20 Програма збереження архівів, що перебувають під загрозою зникнення (EAP) 10 REF020000 20 оцифрування архівів 20 архіви, що перебувають під загрозою зникнення 01 06 03 00 Цей посібник обов'язково треба прочитати, якщо ви плануєте розпочати науковий проект з оцифрування.

Bridging history, politics, theology, and conflict studies, this book traces a moral and intellectual tradition of resistance from within the global Jewish community—one rooted in values of justice, equality, and compassion. From early twentieth-century critics like Ahad Ha’am and Hannah Arendt to contemporary scholars, rabbis, journalists, and activists, the voices gathered here challenge the dominant narratives that conflate Judaism with Zionism.As violence escalates in Gaza and misinformation clouds public understanding, this book offers essential historical context and urgently needed counter-narratives. Through curated quotes, essays, and reflections, it documents how generations of Jews have spoken out—often at personal cost—against militarism, racism, and settler colonialism. In doing so, it reclaims an ethical tradition that links solidarity with Palestine with all struggles for justice throughout the world.This is an anti-war, anti-prejudice book for anyone seeking clarity amid polarization. In this unprecedented political moment, it is an essential resource for educators, activists, faith leaders, and all who value human rights. By amplifying voices of conscience, it deepens our understanding of Israel-Palestine relations and reminds us of the enduring power of moral dissent. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0481_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805116684 06 15 9781805116691 06 15 9781805116707 06 15 9781805116721 06 15 9781805116714 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0481.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0481 99 04 urn:uuid:42d81275-bfec-47f7-8002-3afcf1ecdde9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:42d81275-bfec-47f7-8002-3afcf1ecdde9 15 9781805110088 06 10.11647/OBP.0370 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Toevallige ontmoetingen Bio-ethiek voor een gehavende planeet 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1062-7918 Kristien Hens 2 Z01 Christina Stadlbauer 3 Z01 Bart H.M.

Hun rol is behalve ethisch ook conceptueel: zij kunnen de kwaliteit en de coherentie van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek verbeteren door erop toe te zien dat specifieke concepten op een consistente en doordachte manier worden gebruik binnen interdisciplinaire projecten. Hens argumenteert dat toeval en onzekerheid een centrale rol spelen in de bio-ethiek, maar dat die in een spanningsrelatie kunnen raken met de pogingen om bepaalde theorieën ingang te doen vinden als wetenschappelijke kennis: bij het beschrijven van organismen en praktijken creëren we op een bepaalde manier de wereld. Hens stelt dat dit noodzakelijk een ethische activiteit betreft.Doorheen de verkenning van genetisch onderzoek, biomedische ethiek, autismeonderzoek en het concept ‘risico’ toont Hens aan dat er niet zoiets bestaat als ‘universeel’ of ‘neutraal’ wetenschappelijk of klinisch weten. Integendeel, uitgaan van de gesitueerdheid van individuele ervaringen is essentieel om de wereld rondom ons te begrijpen, om er de beperkingen van in te zien (en die van onszelf) en om een ethische toekomst vorm te geven.Toevallige ontmoetingen is gericht op een breed publiek van geïnteresseerden in bio-ethiek, filosofie, antropologie en sociologie, en op onderzoekers in biomedische en milieuwetenschappen. Daarnaast is het ook relevant voor beleidsmakers. De artistieke bijdrage van Christina Stadlbauer en Bartaku zal inspirerend zijn voor kunstenaars en schrijvers die zich op het snijvlak bewegen van kunst en wetenschappen. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0370_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800648883 06 15 9781805110293 06 15 9781805110088 06 15 9781805110361 06 15 9781805110644 06 15 9781805111054 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0370 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0370.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:90aa9d84-a940-4812-bcd8-0d3f2587b41a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:90aa9d84-a940-4812-bcd8-0d3f2587b41a 15 9781783742059 06 10.11647/OBP.0088 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Tolerance The Beacon of the Enlightenment 1 B01 Caroline Warman 2 Z01 Caroline Warman 01 eng 01 fre 00 144 03 04 B1925.E5 20 Enlightenment 12 HP 10 PHI000000 12 HPS 10 PHI034000 20 philosophers 20 anthology 12 DQ 10 PHI019000 20 equality 10 LCO008000 20 freedom 20 tolerance 01 06 03 00 This anthology, inspired by Voltaire’s advice that a text needed to be concise to have real influence, contains firey extracts from forty different authors, from the philosophers everyone’s heard of to those whose brilliant writings are less well-known. They are immensely diverse in style and topic, but all have in common their passionate commitment to equality, freedom, and tolerance, and every single one resonates powerfully with the issues our world faces today. The book was first published by the Société française d’étude du dix-huitième siècle (the French Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies) in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo assassinations in January 2015 as a mark of solidarity, and as a response to the wide-spread interest in Enlightenment values. With the support of the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, it has now been translated by 102 French students and tutors from Oxford University. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0088_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742035 06 15 9781783742042 06 15 9781783742059 06 15 9781800645080 06 15 9781783742066 06 15 9781783742073 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0088.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0088 99 04 urn:uuid:b59f517f-1ec8-43b4-a9cd-4b66649760cb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b59f517f-1ec8-43b4-a9cd-4b66649760cb 15 9781800649613 06 10.11647/OBP.0337 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Touching Parchment: How Medieval Users Rubbed, Handled, and Kissed Their Manuscripts Volume 1: Officials and Their Books 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1633-7607 Kathryn M.

The traces of its use through touching and handling during different rituals such as oath-taking, is the subject of Kathryn Rudy’s research in Touching Parchment. Rudy presents numerous and fascinating case studies that relate to the evidence of use and damage through touching and or kissing. She also puts each study within a category of different ways of handling books, mainly liturgical, legal or choral practice, and in turn connects each practice to the horizontal or vertical behavioural patterns of users within a public or private environment. With her keen eye for observation in being able to identify various characteristics of inadvertent and targeted wear, the author adds a new dimension to the Medieval book. She gives the reader the opportunity to reflect on the social, anthropological and historical value of the use of the book by sharpening our senses to the way users handled books in different situations. Rudy has amassed an incredible amount of material for this research and the way in which she presents each manuscript conveys an approach that scholars on Medieval history and book materiality should keep in mind when carrying out their own research. What perhaps is most striking in her articulate text, is how she expresses that the touching of books was not without emotion, and the accumulated effects of these emotions are worthy of preservation, study and further reflection.This volume is part of a four-volume set, with two additional titles forthcoming. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0337_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781800649590 06 15 9781800649606 06 15 9781800649613 06 15 9781800649651 06 15 9781800649644 06 15 9781800649620 06 15 9781800649637 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0337 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0337.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:0160f491-95ea-4998-812b-b313d2149c24 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0160f491-95ea-4998-812b-b313d2149c24 15 9781805111665 06 10.11647/OBP.0379 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Touching Parchment: How Medieval Users Rubbed, Handled, and Kissed Their Manuscripts Volume 2: Social Encounters with the Book 1 A01 21 0000-0002-1633-7607 Kathryn M.

The traces of their use through touching and handling during different rituals such as oath-taking, public reading, and memorializing the dead, is the subject of Kathryn Rudy’s research in Touching Parchment. This second volume, Social Encounters with the Book, delves into the physical interaction with books in various social settings, including education, courtly assemblies, and confraternal gatherings. Looking at acts such as pointing, scratching, and ‘wet-touching’, the author zooms in on smudges and abrasions on medieval manuscripts as testimonials of readers’ interaction with the book and its contents. In so doing, she dissects the function of books in oaths, confraternal groups, education, and courtly settings, illuminating how books were used as teaching aids and tools for conveying political messages. The narrative paints a vivid picture of medieval reading, emphasizing bodily engagement, from page-turning to the intimate act of kissing pages. Overall, this text offers a captivating exploration of the tactile and social dimensions of book use in late medieval Europe broadening our perspective on the role of objects in rituals during the middle ages. Social Encounters with the Book provides a fundamental resource to anybody interested in medieval history and book materiality more widely.This volume is part of a four-volume set, with two additional titles forthcoming. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0379_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111641 06 15 9781805111658 06 15 9781805111665 06 15 9781805111696 06 15 9781805111672 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0379 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0379.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:9e769634-9a53-4d6f-a9f2-24f2e957f5d9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9e769634-9a53-4d6f-a9f2-24f2e957f5d9 15 9781800642324 06 10.11647/OBP.0261 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Towards an Ethics of Autism A Philosophical Exploration 1 A01 21 0000-0003-1062-7918 Kristien Hens 01 eng 00 206 03 20 Autism 12 MJN 10 PHI005000 04 RC553.A88 12 MJNA 20 Perspectives on autism 10 PHI031000 10 EDU040000 20 History of autism 12 HPQ 20 Leo Kanner 12 PSAD 10 PSY022020 20 Hans Asperger 20 Ethical reflections about autism 01 06 03 00 What does it mean to say that someone is autistic?Dynamics of Autism is an exploration of this question and many more. In this thoughtful, wide-ranging book, Kristien Hens examines a number of perspectives on autism, including psychiatric, biological, and philosophical, to consider different ways of thinking about autism, as well as its meanings to those who experience it, those who diagnose it, and those who research it. Hens delves into the history of autism and its roots in the work of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger to inform a contemporary ethical analysis of the models we use to understand autism today. She explores the various impacts of a diagnosis on autistic people and their families, the relevance of disability studies, the need to include autistic people fully in discussions about (and research on) autism, and the significance of epigenetics to future work on autism.Hens weaves together a variety of perspectives that guide the reader in their own ethical reflections about autism. Rich, accessible, and multi-layered, this essential reading for for philosophers, educational scientists, and psychologists who are interested in philosophical-ethical questions related to autism, but it also has much to offer to teachers, allied health professionals, and autistic people themselves. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0261_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800642300 06 15 9781800642317 06 15 9781800642324 06 15 9781800646537 06 15 9781800642355 06 15 9781800642331 06 15 9781800642348 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0261 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0261.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:920c1756-8f26-412a-8c3b-eb488b01bb3f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:920c1756-8f26-412a-8c3b-eb488b01bb3f 15 9781805114451 06 10.11647/OBP.0435 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Tragedy and the Witness Shakespeare and Beyond 1 A01 Fred Parker 01 eng 00 256 03 93 DDT 10 LIT004120 20 Tragic Drama 10 LIT013000 93 MKPB 20 Witnessing and Testimony 10 LIT015000 93 QDTQ 20 Shakespeare 93 DSM 10 PSY036000 20 Trauma Studies 20 Madness in Literature 10 SOC051000 20 Ethics of Storytelling 10 PHI005000 01 06 03 00 As he dies, Hamlet pleads with Horatio to ‘report me aright … tell my story’. This book deals with the task of bearing witness to anguish, atrocity, and madness, as these are staged in the tragic theatre. Focusing on the relationship between the protagonist and the onlooker or witness, it explores how the tragic figure, often and understandably viewed as alien or culpable or profoundly strange, struggles to be understood. Centred on Shakespeare, its wide-ranging approach also introduces works by (among others) the Greeks, Racine, Ibsen, Pirandello, Kafka, Beckett, and Kane.The discussion intersects with trauma studies and with psychoanalytic theory, especially around how subjective experience is ‘held’ by others. The challenge of entering into such difficult experience is likened to the offering of hospitality to the foreigner or stranger: the challenge of overcoming xenophobia. Another large concern is with how tragedy represents madness, and how far such states of mind may be shared with an audience, particularly through the lens of King Lear.Written in an accessible style, this book grounds tragedy in matters that resonate in common experience, from mental breakdown and our need to be heard to questions around grieving, trauma, and the ethics of telling someone’s story. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0435_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805114437 06 15 9781805114444 06 15 9781805114451 06 15 9781805114475 06 15 9781805114468 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0435 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0435.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:a040b79c-2e3e-4bbf-aaa5-664f666ae9b6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a040b79c-2e3e-4bbf-aaa5-664f666ae9b6 15 9781800648586 06 10.11647/OBP.0321 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Transforming Conservation A Practical Guide to Evidence and Decision Making 1 B01 21 0000-0002-6498-0437 William J.

In this book an international team of experts provide solutions. The transformation suggested includes rethinking how evidence is assessed, combined, communicated and used in decision-making; using effective methods when asking experts to make judgements (i.e. avoiding just asking an expert or a group of experts!); using a structured process for making decisions that incorporate the evidence and having effective processes for learning from actions. In each case, the specific problem with decision making is described with a range of practical solutions. Adopting this approach to decision-making requires societal change so detailed suggestions are made for transforming organisations, governments, businesses, funders and philanthropists. The practical suggestions include twelve downloadable checklists. The vision of the authors is to transform conservation so it is more effective, more cost-efficient, learns from practice and is more attractive to funders. However, the lessons of this important book go well beyond conservation to decision-makers in any field. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0321_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800648562 06 15 9781800648579 06 15 9781800648586 06 15 9781800648623 06 15 9781800648616 06 15 9781800648593 06 15 9781800648609 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0321.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0321 99 04 urn:uuid:abe4f061-ba27-4f41-a3aa-7e17c5924d51 03 01 01 urn:uuid:abe4f061-ba27-4f41-a3aa-7e17c5924d51 15 9781800649859 06 10.11647/OBP.0340 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Translating Russian Literature in the Global Context 1 B01 21 0000-0001-7615-6720 Muireann Maguire 2 B01 21 0000-0003-4998-0233 Cathy McAteer 01 eng 00 726 03 93 DNT 12 DS 10 LCO000000 04 PG2985 20 Translation studies 12 1DVUA 93 DS 10 LCO008010 20 Russian Literature 93 2AGR 20 Global Context 12 HBJ 10 LIT004240 10 LCO014000 20 Literary reception 20 socio-cultural microhistory 20 Comparative literature 01 06 03 00 Translating Russian Literature in the Global Context examines the translation and reception of Russian literature as a world-wide process. This volume aims to provoke new debate about the continued currency of Russian literature as symbolic capital for international readers, in particular for nations seeking to create or consolidate cultural and political leverage in the so-called ‘World Republic of Letters’. It also seeks to examine and contrast the mechanisms of the translation and uses of Russian literature across the globe.This collection presents academic essays, grouped according to geographical location, by thirty-seven international scholars. Collectively, their expertise encompasses the global reception of Russian literature in Europe, the Former Soviet Republics, Africa, the Americas, and Asia. Their scholarship concentrates on two fundamental research areas: firstly, constructing a historical survey of the translation, publication, distribution and reception of Russian literature, or of one or more specific Russophone authors, in a given nation, language, or region; and secondly, outlining a socio-cultural microhistory of how a specific, highly influential local writer, genre, or literary group within the target culture has translated, transmitted, or adapted aspects of Russian literature in their own literary production. Each section is prefaced with a short essay by the co-editors, surveying the history of the reception of Russian literature in the given region.Considered as a whole, these chapters offer a wholly new overview of the extent and intercultural penetration of Russian and Soviet literary soft power during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This volume will open up Slavonic Translation Studies for the general reader, the student of Comparative Literature, and the academic scholar alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0340_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 European Research Council 01 programname Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation 01 grantnumber 802437 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781800649835 06 15 9781800649842 06 15 9781800649859 06 15 9781800649897 06 15 9781800649866 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0340 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0340.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:da4b5b80-d8ee-4a5d-b64d-abd0f85de3ab 03 01 01 urn:uuid:da4b5b80-d8ee-4a5d-b64d-abd0f85de3ab 15 9781805110484 06 10.11647/OBP.0348 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Transparent Minds in Science Fiction An Introduction to Alien, AI and Post-Human Consciousness 1 A01 Paul Matthews 01 eng 00 144 03 12 DSK 10 FIC028000 93 FL 20 neuroscience 04 PN3433.6 93 DSK 12 FL 10 LIT004260 20 science fiction 12 FLC 93 JMR 20 philosophy 10 PSY051000 12 GTR 20 literary theory 10 PSY008000 20 artificial intelligence 12 JM 20 human minds 12 JMR 20 posthuman 01 06 03 00 Transparent Minds explores the intersection between neuroscience and science fiction stories. Paul Matthews expertly analyses the narratives of humans and nonhumans from Mary Shelley to Kazuo Ishiguro across 200 years of the genre. In doing so he gives lucid insight into the meaning of existence and self-awareness. Rigorously researched and highly accessible, Matthews argues that psycho-emotional science fiction writers both imitate and inform alien and post-human consciousnesses through exploratory narratives and metaphor.Drawing from a diverse range of scholars and critics, Matthews explores topics such as psychonarration and neuroaesthetics, to create a thoughtful and cogent argument. By synthesising concepts from philosophy, neuroscience, and literary theory, Matthews posits the potential for science fiction to bridge the gap in understanding between AI and human minds. Given the recent advancements in AI technology, Matthews’ timely discussion enters the speculative realm of sentient technology and postcyborg ethics. The work constitutes a major contribution to cross-disciplinary perspectives on alien and posthuman psychology, that engages with future states of existence in both ourselves and the machines we create. Transparent Minds will be of interest to innovators, authors, and science fiction enthusiasts alike. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0348_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110460 06 15 9781805110477 06 15 9781805110484 06 15 9781805110521 06 15 9781805110514 06 15 9781805110491 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0348.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0348 99 04 urn:uuid:9c9db6fd-0ec8-4c27-805b-7e7810c10e97 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9c9db6fd-0ec8-4c27-805b-7e7810c10e97 15 9781805111542 06 10.11647/OBP.0377 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Trix The Other Kipling 1 A01 Barbara Fisher 01 eng 00 260 03 20 Alice MacDonald Kipling Fleming 12 BGL 10 BIO007000 93 DSG 04 PR4849.K5 10 BIO026000 93 DNC 12 DSBH 20 Trix 93 DSA 10 LIT006000 20 Rudyard Kipling 12 VFV 20 Victorian women authors 20 mental illness 20 colonial India 01 06 03 00 This volume represents the first biography of Alice MacDonald Kipling Fleming (1868-1948), known as Trix. Rarely portrayed with sympathy or accuracy in biographies of her famous brother Rudyard, Trix was a talented writer and a memorable character in her own right whose fascinating life was unknown until now. In telling Trix’s story, Barbara Fisher rescues her from the misrepresentations, trivializations, and outright neglect of Rudyard’s many biographers. This book provides the first account of Trix’s life, beginning with the horrible childhood she shared with Rudyard as a Raj orphan in England. The biography follows adolescent Trix as she returned to India, where her brother encouraged her to write poems and stories, which were regularly mistaken for his. Her marriage to a stiff Scottish officer is chronicled from its hopeful beginnings through its childless, cheerless middle to its calm and compromised end. Trix’s bouts of mental illness are described in sympathetic detail.Turning her attention to Trix’s oeuvre Barbara Fisher locates and attributes all of her short fiction, poetry, and journalism, giving special attention to Trix’s two ambitious but flawed novels. She also puts into historical context Trix’s long and productive participation as a medium for the Society for Psychical Research.Most importantly, Trix: The Other Kipling gives a voice, a mind, and a heart to a misunderstood, misrepresented, but indomitable woman – an accomplishment which will be of great interest to readers interested in Victorian women authors, in the cultural interchanges between England and colonial India, in serious psychical research, in the early treatment of mental illness, and more generally, in the everyday life and struggles of intellectual women of the 19th and early 20th century. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0377_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805111528 06 15 9781805111535 06 15 9781805111542 06 15 9781805111573 06 15 9781805111559 06 15 9781805118336 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0377.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0377 99 04 urn:uuid:3659a9fc-9fad-41c0-b647-a99e6398ff0d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3659a9fc-9fad-41c0-b647-a99e6398ff0d 15 9781805113584 06 10.11647/OBP.0416 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Troubled People, Troubled World Psychotherapy, Ethics and Society 1 A01 Michael Briant 01 eng 00 218 03 93 MKMT1 10 PSY028000 20 Psychotherapy 20 Collective Psychopathology 93 MKMT5 10 PSY010000 20 Contemporary conflicts 93 JMH 10 PSY026000 93 JMAF 20 Persecutory conscience 10 PSY031000 20 Humanistic conscience 20 Humanistic ethics 01 06 03 00 Ethical issues are the stuff of psychotherapy, and in fact Freud envisaged the process as one in which an unexamined, irrational and oppressive conscience gives way to one more benignly rooted in reason. Therapists endeavour to be non-judgemental and, indeed, are no more qualified to pass judgement on others than anyone else; do they nevertheless learn anything about ethics from their disciplined listening? The same question was asked after the war about the persecution of the Jews and other minorities, and it’s a very live issue again, faced as we are by movements like ISIS, or Putinism in Russia, that cause great suffering in the name of religious or moral regeneration - a bewildering paradox that David Astor, former editor of The Observer called ‘the scourge’.Can psychotherapy throw any light on it, or contribute any ideas as to how we might contain, if not prevent, the barbarism it sanctions? Can it offer any insights into a different, more inclusive kind of ethics, and if so, can we glean any guidance from it as to how we might further it?These are the questions the author explores, drawing on psychoanalytic thinking on these issues for over a century and illustrated by his work with individuals over four decades. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0416_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805113560 06 15 9781805113577 06 15 9781805113584 06 15 9781805113607 06 15 9781805113591 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0416.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0416 99 04 urn:uuid:e5bb9f8f-7ea5-48c2-917c-43677e2608d3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e5bb9f8f-7ea5-48c2-917c-43677e2608d3 15 9781783740895 06 10.11647/OBP.0076 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry Reinventing the Canon 1 B01 21 0000-0003-3065-2053 Katharine Hodgson 2 B01 Joanne Shelton 3 B01 Alexandra Smith 01 eng 00 512 03 12 DSC 10 LIT014000 04 PG3056 20 Russia 10 LIT004240 20 poetry 20 Twentieth-century 20 literary canon 20 Soviet Union 20 Brodskii 20 Akhmatova 20 Mandel′shtam 01 06 03 00 The canon of Russian poetry has been reshaped since the fall of the Soviet Union. A multi-authored study of changing cultural memory and identity, this revisionary work charts Russia’s shifting relationship to its own literature in the face of social upheaval.<break/>Literary canon and national identity are inextricably tied together, the composition of a canon being the attempt to single out those literary works that best express a nation’s culture. This process is, of course, fluid and subject to significant shifts, particularly at times of epochal change. This volume explores changes in the canon of twentieth-century Russian poetry from the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union to the end of Putin’s second term as Russian President in 2008. In the wake of major institutional changes, such as the abolition of state censorship and the introduction of a market economy, the way was open for wholesale reinterpretation of twentieth-century poets such as Iosif Brodskii, Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandel′shtam, their works and their lives. In the last twenty years many critics have discussed the possibility of various coexisting canons rooted in official and non-official literature and suggested replacing the term "Soviet literature" with a new definition – "Russian literature of the Soviet period".<break/>Contributions to this volume explore the multiple factors involved in reshaping the canon, understood as a body of literary texts given exemplary or representative status as "classics". Among factors which may influence the composition of the canon are educational institutions, competing views of scholars and critics, including figures outside Russia, and the self-canonising activity of poets themselves. Canon revision further reflects contemporary concerns with the destabilising effects of emigration and the internet, and the desire to reconnect with pre-revolutionary cultural traditions through a narrative of the past which foregrounds continuity. Despite persistent nostalgic yearnings in some quarters for a single canon, the current situation is defiantly diverse, balancing both the Soviet literary tradition and the parallel contemporaneous literary worlds of the emigration and the underground.<break/>Required reading for students, teachers and lovers of Russian literature, Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry brings our understanding of post-Soviet Russia up to date. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0076_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) 01 projectname Reconfiguring the Canon of Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry, 1991-2008 01 grantnumber AH/H039619/1 Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783740871 06 15 9781783740888 06 15 9781783740895 06 15 9781800645004 06 15 9781783745852 06 15 9781783740901 06 15 9781783740918 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0076 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0076.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:62aafe06-5c0c-43ed-9ae3-751c6237c81c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:62aafe06-5c0c-43ed-9ae3-751c6237c81c 15 9781805115427 06 10.11647/OBP.0455 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 Two Early Byzantine Bible Manuscripts in Christian Palestinian Aramaic Codex Climaci Rescriptus II & XI 1 A01 Kim Phillips 01 eng 00 224 03 93 1QBCB 04 BS1993.5.C63 20 Byzantine Bible Manuscripts 10 REL006630 20 Christian Palestinian Aramaic 93 QRMF1 10 REL000000 93 1FBP 20 Codex Climaci Rescriptus 10 REL006210 93 2CSA 20 Early Christian Texts 10 REL070000 20 Aramaic Biblical Studies 10 HIS019000 93 QRMF 93 AKHM 10 LAN009010 20 Religious Manuscript Analysis 01 06 03 00 Despite the ubiquitous use of Greek by the Christian church of the late antique Southern Levant, many Christians in the region also—or only—spoke Aramaic. Today, this dialect, known as Christian Palestinian Aramaic (CPA), is relatively sparsely attested in the form of regional inscriptions and, particularly, in the form of vernacular translations of Greek biblical, liturgical and theological texts. These translations survive predominantly as undertexts within palimpsest manuscripts.Codex Climaci Rescriptus (CCR) is one of the most important palimpsest manuscript sources for the recovery of CPA texts. CCR was created around the tenth century; its superior text consists of Syriac translations of two theological works by John Climacus. This tenth century manuscript was manufactured using recycled parchment from at least eleven older, obsolete manuscripts whose texts had been scraped off in preparation for reuse. Two of these eleven manuscripts form the focus of the present study. The first—CCR II—was originally a manuscript of the Pauline Epistles in CPA translation; the second—CCR XI—was originally an Apostolos manuscript (i.e., it contained the Acts of the Apostles and the Catholic Epistles).Cutting-edge multispectral imaging technology has been brought to bear on CCR in the last decade, enabling more detailed and accurate reconstructions of its various undertexts. With the benefit of this technology, this study offers a detailed codicological introduction to each of CCR II and CCR XI, fresh editions of the undertexts themselves, as well as a commentary that begins to evaluate the ongoing significance of this manuscript for biblical and linguistic studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0455_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115403 06 15 9781805115410 06 15 9781805115427 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0455.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0455 99 04 urn:uuid:fad3128f-945a-43a9-9f27-b696521c0386 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fad3128f-945a-43a9-9f27-b696521c0386 15 9781783741908 06 10.11647/OBP.0084 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Tyneside Neighbourhoods Deprivation, Social Life and Social Behaviour in One British City 1 A01 Daniel Nettle 01 eng 00 146 03 20 Ethnography 04 HM821 12 KCR 10 SOC045000 20 comparative study 12 KCP 10 SOC053000 12 JHBC 10 SOC050000 20 social behaviour 12 JHBL 10 POL024000 20 United Kingdom 20 economic deprivation 10 POL029000 20 social solidarity 01 06 03 00 Nettle’s book presents the results of five years of comparative ethnographic fieldwork in two different neighbourhoods of the same British city, Newcastle upon Tyne.

How do they navigate the (often contradictory) challenges presented by bureaucratic systems, financial pressures, attitudes to migrants, and their own healthcare needs?<break/>This urgent study uses a grounded theory approach to explore the ways in which undocumented migrants are included in or excluded from healthcare in a Swiss region. Marianne Jossen explores the ways migrants try to obtain healthcare on their own, with the help of NGOs or via insurance, and how they cope if they fail, whether by using risky strategies to access healthcare or leaving serious health issues untreated. Jossen shows that even for those who succeed, inclusion remains partial and fraught with risks.<break/>Based on interviews with migrants, health practitioners and NGO staff and using a rigorous academic approach, Undocumented Migrants and Healthcare is an important contribution to a vital contemporary issue. It is necessary reading for researchers in Public Health and Migration Studies, as well as government and non-governmental organisations in Switzerland and beyond. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with healthcare and migration in the twenty-first century. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0139_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Stiftung Lindenhof Bern 16 Swiss Red Cross Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783744787 06 15 9781783744794 06 15 9781783744800 06 15 9781800645585 06 15 9781783745272 06 15 9781783744817 06 15 9781783744824 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0139 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0139.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:5b666395-b379-4b49-b058-fdec3941e5e2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5b666395-b379-4b49-b058-fdec3941e5e2 15 9781805113423 06 10.11647/OBP.0412 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Urban Heritage and Sustainability in the Age of Globalisation 1 B01 21 0000-0002-8778-5132 Lilia Makhloufi 01 eng 00 328 03 93 AM 10 ARC014000 04 CC136.5 20 Cityscapes 20 Heritage 10 SOC002010 93 TNKX 10 ART009000 20 Interdisciplinary 93 JHMC 10 POL002000 93 RPC 20 Urban context 20 Conservation 10 HIS039000 93 NHTB 20 Globalized world 01 06 03 00 This book offers a deep exploration of architectural and urban heritage, using interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches to assess how historical, social, economic and political factors have impacted heritage development and its sustainability. It sheds light on the stakes of heritage conservation, management and maintenance in today’s globalised world. Through detailed studies of historic cities, the book explores both the tangible aspects of their built heritage (urban fabric, housing design, construction methods and materials for thermal comfort) and the intangible components of local communities (including identities, cultures, religions, values and ways of life) in diverse case studies in Egypt, France, India, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia.By addressing not only urban and architectural heritage but also socio-cultural, environmental and political issues—including economic challenges and climatic concerns—this book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers across fields, including architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, sociology and philosophical anthropology. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0412_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities Cambridge, UK 04 19 2024 06 15 9781805113409 06 15 9781805113416 06 15 9781805113423 06 15 9781805113447 06 15 9781805113430 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0412.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0412 99 04 urn:uuid:e0fe9894-a235-4425-ab5c-9964b9dca34e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e0fe9894-a235-4425-ab5c-9964b9dca34e 15 9781783742158 06 10.11647/OBP.0090 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Verdi in Victorian London 1 A01 21 0000-0001-6884-4697 Massimo Zicari 01 eng 00 360 03 12 AVA 20 Giuseppe Verdi 04 ML410.V4 10 MUS028000 12 AVC 10 MUS020000 20 Music 12 AVGC5 20 Italian opera 10 MUS050000 12 AVGC9 20 music reception 12 AVH 20 Victorian London 20 nineteenth century 01 06 03 00 Now a byword for beauty, Verdi’s operas were far from universally acclaimed when they reached London in the second half of the nineteenth century. Why did some critics react so harshly? Who were they and what biases and prejudices animated them? When did their antagonistic attitude change? And why did opera managers continue to produce Verdi’s operas, in spite of their alleged worthlessness?Massimo Zicari’s Verdi in Victorian London reconstructs the reception of Verdi’s operas in London from 1844, when a first critical account was published in the pages of The Athenaeum, to 1901, when Verdi’s death received extensive tribute in The Musical Times. In the 1840s, certain London journalists were positively hostile towards the most talked-about representative of Italian opera, only to change their tune in the years to come. The supercilious critic of The Athenaeum, Henry Fothergill Chorley, declared that Verdi’s melodies were worn, hackneyed and meaningless, his harmonies and progressions crude, his orchestration noisy. The scribes of The Times, The Musical World, The Illustrated London News, and The Musical Times all contributed to the critical hubbub.Yet by the 1850s, Victorian critics, however grudging, could neither deny nor ignore the popularity of Verdi’s operas. Over the final three decades of the nineteenth century, moreover, London’s musical milieu underwent changes of great magnitude, shifting the manner in which Verdi was conceptualized and making room for the powerful influence of Wagner. Nostalgic commentators began to lament the sad state of the Land of Song, referring to the now departed "palmy days of Italian opera."

Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parties revisit yesterday’s killing fields to attend to their dead. One casualty in particular commands attention: Aeneas’ protégé Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundational act of sacrificial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefigured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the martial arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the final third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the battlefield but on gender stereotypes and the conventions of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the portions of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil offers some of his most emotive (and disturbing) meditations on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.This course book offers the original Latin text, vocabulary aids, study questions, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard’s volume will be of particular interest to students of Latin studying for A-Level or on undergraduate courses. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil’s poetry and the most recent scholarly thought.King's College, Cambridge, has generously contributed to this publication. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0158_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 King's College, University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783746002 06 15 9781783746019 06 15 9781783746026 06 15 9781800645769 06 15 9781783746057 06 15 9781783746033 06 15 9781783746040 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0158.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0158 99 04 urn:uuid:d578b548-3938-4047-9426-ea82796ad7b3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d578b548-3938-4047-9426-ea82796ad7b3 15 9781909254176 06 10.11647/OBP.0023 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10 01 02 Classics Textbooks 01 01 Virgil, Aeneid, 4.1–299 Latin Text, Study Questions, Commentary and Interpretative Essays 1 A01 Ingo Gildenhard 01 eng 00 320 03 12 HBLA1 10 HIS002020 04 PA6801.A6 20 Virgil 20 Aeneid 12 CFP 10 LIT004190 12 4KL 20 classics 10 FOR033000 20 sixth-form study guide 20 translation 20 Ancient Rome 20 Latin 20 classics textbook series 01 06 03 00 Love and tragedy dominate book four of Virgil’s most powerful work, building on the violent emotions invoked by the storms, battles, warring gods, and monster-plagued wanderings of the epic’s opening. Destined to be the founder of Roman culture, Aeneas, nudged by the gods, decides to leave his beloved Dido, causing her suicide in pursuit of his historical destiny. A dark plot, in which erotic passion culminates in sex, and sex leads to tragedy and death in the human realm, unfolds within the larger horizon of a supernatural sphere, dominated by power-conscious divinities. Dido is Aeneas’ most significant other, and in their encounter Virgil explores timeless themes of love and loyalty, fate and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperial ambition and its victims, and ethnic differences. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study questions, a commentary, and interpretative essays. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard’s incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil’s poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0023_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2012 06 15 9781909254152 06 15 9781909254169 06 15 9781909254176 06 15 9781800644502 06 15 9781909254183 06 15 9781909254190 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0023.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0023 99 04 urn:uuid:3047a8b4-d669-4067-8b8a-c908c348c408 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3047a8b4-d669-4067-8b8a-c908c348c408 15 9781783742653 06 10.11647/OBP.0101 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 Open Book Classics 01 01 Wallenstein A Dramatic Poem 1 A01 Friedrich Schiller 2 Z01 Flora Kimmich 3 Z01 21 0000-0002-4928-4513 Roger Paulin 01 eng 00 322 03 12 DSG 20 Frederich Schiller 10 LIT004170 04 PT2473.W3 12 AN 10 LIT013000 20 Wallenstein trilogy 20 german drama 20 Thirty Years' War 20 translation 20 commentary 20 glossary 20 European literature and history 01 06 03 00 By the time Frederich Schiller came to write the Wallenstein trilogy, his reputation as one of Germany’s leading playwrights was all but secured. Consisting of Wallenstein’s Camp, The Piccolomini and The Death of Wallenstein, this suite of plays appeared between 1798 and 1799, each production under the original direction of Schiller’s collaborator and mentor, Johann Wolfgang (von) Goethe. Across the three plays, which are now commonly performed and printed together, Schiller charts the thwarted rebellion of General Albrecht von Wallenstein. Based loosely on the events of the Thirty Years' War, the trilogy provides a unique vantage on an army’s loyalty to their commander and the machinations and intrigues of international diplomacy, giving insight into the military hero who is placed on the threshold between these forces as they are increasingly pitted against one another.The Wallenstein trilogy, formally innovative and modern beyond its time, is a brilliant study of power, ambition and betrayal. In this new translation—the latest in a long line of distinguished English translations of the play, starting with Coleridge's in Schiller's lifetime—Flora Kimmich succeeds in rendering what is often a difficult source text into language that is at once accessible and enjoyable. Coupled with a complete and careful commentary and a glossary, both of which are targeted to undergraduates, and accompanied by an authoritative introductory essay by Roger Paulin, this edition also includes embedded readings in German of the play and links to the original German text. It will be an invaluable resource for students of German, European literature and history, and military history, as well as to all readers approaching this important set of plays for the first time. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0101_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783742639 06 15 9781783742646 06 15 9781783742653 06 15 9781800645202 06 15 9781783745883 06 15 9781783742660 06 15 9781783742677 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0101 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0101.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:3c91221f-4381-4ff1-bdde-ab7aa4fe3daf 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3c91221f-4381-4ff1-bdde-ab7aa4fe3daf 15 9781783747344 06 10.11647/OBP.0174 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Waltzing Through Europe Attitudes towards Couple Dances in the Long Nineteenth Century 1 B01 21 0000-0002-9959-1474 Egil Bakka 2 B01 21 0000-0002-9105-2230 Theresa Jill Buckland 3 B01 Helena Saarikoski 4 B01 Anne von Bibra Wharton 01 eng 00 494 03 12 ASD 20 dance studies 04 GV1761 10 MUS011000 12 HBTB 10 HIS054000 20 historiography 12 1D 20 cultural memory 12 3J 20 folklore 20 dance 20 Waltz 20 Polka 01 06 03 00 From ‘folk devils’ to ballroom dancers, Waltzing Through Europe explores the changing reception of fashionable couple dances in Europe from the eighteenth century onwards.A refreshing intervention in dance studies, this book brings together elements of historiography, cultural memory, folklore, and dance across comparatively narrow but markedly heterogeneous localities. Rooted in investigations of often newly discovered primary sources, the essays afford many opportunities to compare sociocultural and political reactions to the arrival and practice of popular rotating couple dances, such as the Waltz and the Polka. Leading contributors provide a transnational and affective lens onto strikingly diverse topics, ranging from the evolution of romantic couple dances in Croatia, and Strauss’s visits to Hamburg and Altona in the 1830s, to dance as a tool of cultural preservation and expression in twentieth-century Finland.Waltzing Through Europe creates openings for fresh collaborations in dance historiography and cultural history across fields and genres. It is essential reading for researchers of dance in central and northern Europe, while also appealing to the general reader who wants to learn more about the vibrant histories of these familiar dance forms. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0174_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2020 06 15 9781783747320 06 15 9781783747337 06 15 9781783747344 06 15 9781800645882 06 15 9781783747375 06 15 9781783747351 06 15 9781783747368 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0174 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0174.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:b31e5110-ca42-4c5b-a9a3-e0a415ce1efe 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b31e5110-ca42-4c5b-a9a3-e0a415ce1efe 15 9781783744053 06 10.11647/OBP.0128 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Warlike and Peaceful Societies The Interaction of Genes and Culture 1 A01 21 0000-0001-7773-8247 Agner Fog 01 eng 00 364 03 04 HM626 12 JMH 10 PSY031000 20 sociology 20 collective psychology 04 F64 12 GTJ 10 POL010000 20 evolutionary psychology 12 JWA 10 SOC026040 12 JHM 10 PSY053000 20 regality theory 20 anthropology 12 HPS 10 POL012000 20 ecology 20 conflict 20 security 01 06 03 00 Are humans violent or peaceful by nature? We are both.<break/>In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, Agner Fog presents a ground-breaking new argument that explains the existence of differently organised societies using evolutionary theory. It combines natural sciences and social sciences in a way that is rarely seen.<break/>According to a concept called regality theory, people show a preference for authoritarianism and strong leadership in times of war or collective danger, but desire egalitarian political systems in times of peace and safety. These individual impulses shape the way societies develop and organise themselves, and in this book Agner argues that there is an evolutionary mechanism behind this flexible psychology. Incorporating a wide range of ideas including evolutionary theory, game theory, and ecological theory, Agner analyses the conditions that make us either strident or docile. He tests this theory on data from contemporary and ancient societies, and provides a detailed explanation of the applications of regality theory to issues of war and peace, the rise and fall of empires, the mass media, economic instability, ecological crisis, and much more.<break/>Warlike and Peaceful Societies: The Interaction of Genes and Culture draws on many different fields of both the social sciences and the natural sciences. It will be of interest to academics and students in these fields, including anthropology, political science, history, conflict and peace research, social psychology, and more, as well as the natural sciences, including human biology, human evolution, and ecology. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0128_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783744039 06 15 9781783744046 06 15 9781783744053 06 15 9781800645479 06 15 9781783744275 06 15 9781783744060 06 15 9781783744077 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0128.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0128 99 04 urn:uuid:e5a383b0-3295-4027-986e-cc71e52db1d3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e5a383b0-3295-4027-986e-cc71e52db1d3 15 9781783744237 06 10.11647/OBP.0130 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice The Capability Approach Re-Examined 1 A01 21 0000-0002-2893-1814 Ingrid Robeyns 01 eng 00 266 03 20 Capability Approach 04 HD75 12 KCR 10 SOC045000 12 KCP 04 R635 10 SOC053000 20 wellbeing 20 freedom 12 JHBC 10 SOC050000 12 JHBL 10 POL024000 20 social justice 12 HPS 10 POL029000 20 Social Science 20 economic disparity 20 public policy 01 06 03 00 Notions such as wellbeing, freedom, and social justice are integral to evaluating social progress and developing policies. One increasingly influential way to think about these concepts is the capability approach, a theoretical framework which was pioneered by the philosopher and economist Amartya Sen in the 1980s.In this book Ingrid Robeyns orientates readers new to the capability approach through offering an explanation of this framework. Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice also endeavors to resolve historical disputes in the literature and thus will be equally engaging to those familiar with the field. The author offers a novel and illuminating account of how the capability approach can be understood in a variety of academic disciplines and fields of application. Special attention is paid to clarifying misunderstandings that have been caused by different disciplinary assumptions and the interpretive consequences they have for our consideration of the capability approach.Robeyns argues that respecting the distinction between the general capability approach, and more specific capability theories or applications, helps to clear up confusion and misinterpretation. In addition, the author presents detailed analyses of well-known objections to the capability approach, and also discusses how it relates to other schools of analysis such as theories of justice, human rights, basic needs, and the human development approach.Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice offers an original and comprehensive account of the field. The book will appeal to scholars of the capability approach as well as new readers looking for an interdisciplinary introduction. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0130_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783744213 06 15 9781783744220 06 15 9781783744237 06 15 9781800645493 06 15 9781783744596 06 15 9781783744244 06 15 9781783744251 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0130 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0130.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:d80c3e55-57ce-47c6-ac83-38a2417dad58 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d80c3e55-57ce-47c6-ac83-38a2417dad58 15 9781800640252 06 10.11647/OBP.0224 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 What is Authorial Philology? 1 B01 Paola Italia 2 B01 21 0000-0001-6833-8073 Giulia Raboni 01 eng 01 ita 00 214 03 12 D 10 LIT004130 04 P47 20 philology 20 Authorial Philology 12 JFCX 10 LIT000000 12 DS 10 LIT025000 20 textbook 12 D 20 editing ‘authorial texts’ 20 how to read critical editions 01 06 03 00 A stark departure from traditional philology, What is Authorial Philology? is the first comprehensive treatment of authorial philology as a discipline in its own right. It provides readers with an excellent introduction to the theory and practice of editing ‘authorial texts’ alongside an exploration of authorial philology in its cultural and conceptual architecture. The originality and distinction of this work lies in its clear systematization of a discipline whose autonomous status has only recently been recognised (at least in Italy), though its roots may extend back as far as Giorgio Pasquali.<break/> <break/>This pioneering volume offers both a methodical set of instructions on how to read critical editions, and a wide range of practical examples, expanding upon the conceptual and methodological apparatus laid out in the first two chapters. By presenting a thorough account of the historical and theoretical framework through which authorial philology developed, Paola Italia and Giulia Raboni successfully reconceptualize the authorial text as an ever-changing organism, subject to alteration and modification.<break/> <break/>What is Authorial Philology? will be of great didactic value to students and researchers alike, providing readers with a fuller understanding of the rationale behind different editing practices, and addressing both traditional and newer methods such as the use of the digital medium and its implications. Spanning the whole Italian tradition from Petrarch to Carlo Emilio Gadda, this ground-breaking volume provokes us to consider important questions concerning a text’s dynamism, the extent to which an author is ‘agentive’, and, most crucially, about the very nature of what we read. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0224_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Università di Bologna Cambridge, UK 04 19 2021 06 15 9781800640238 06 15 9781800640245 06 15 9781800640252 06 15 9781800646292 06 15 9781800640283 06 15 9781800640269 06 15 9781800640276 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0224 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0224.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:7988a2ba-7f1c-4754-943d-07dc4d2dc109 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7988a2ba-7f1c-4754-943d-07dc4d2dc109 15 9781783741595 06 10.11647/OBP.0060 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10 01 02 What Works in Conservation 01 01 What Works in Conservation 2015 1 B01 21 0000-0002-6498-0437 William J.

Triggered by an oppressive poll tax but fuelled by deeper injustices, this uprising saw land workers, artisans, and commoners rise to challenge the authority of landowners, church, and crown. 'When Katherine Brewed' brings this momentous event to life on stage, blending historical fidelity with a bold, radical perspective.Drawing from chronicles and centuries of literary reinterpretation, this devised play reveals the struggles of the forgotten: those who dared to dream of a world free from exploitation and tyranny. Through the lens of class struggle and solidarity, the story of Wat Tyler, John Ball, and their fellow rebels unfolds, exposing the duplicity of rulers and the undying hope of those who resist.Echoing the spirit of radical theatre traditions, this play reimagines this medieval rebellion with contemporary relevance, urging audiences to reflect on enduring issues of inequality and power. Both an homage to the past and a rallying cry for the future, this production is as much a tribute to those who fought as it is an invitation to envision a world transformed. Witness history, and the lessons it still holds. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0456_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115434 06 15 9781805115441 06 15 9781805115458 06 15 9781805115472 06 15 9781805115465 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0456 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0456.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:2566ed3d-3df1-4e56-a7dc-455ecf7d3a4b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2566ed3d-3df1-4e56-a7dc-455ecf7d3a4b 15 9781783744633 06 10.11647/OBP.0136 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 01 01 Who Saved the Parthenon?

Focusing particularly on the question of who saved the Parthenon from destruction during this conflict, with the help of documents that shed a new light on this enduring question, he explores the contributions made by the Philhellenes, Ancient Athenians, Ottomans and the Great Powers.Marshalling a vast amount of primary evidence, much of it previously unexamined and published here for the first time, St Clair rigorously explores the multiple ways in which the Parthenon has served both as a cultural icon onto which meanings are projected and as a symbol of particular national, religious and racial identities, as well as how it illuminates larger questions about the uses of built heritage. This book has a companion volume with the classical Parthenon as its main focus, which offers new ways of recovering the monument and its meanings in ancient times.St Clair builds on the success of his classic text, The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period, to present this rich and authoritative account of the Parthenon’s presentation and reception throughout history. With weighty implications for the present life of the Parthenon, it is itself a monumental contribution to accounts of the Greek Revolution, to classical studies, and to intellectual history. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0136_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781783744619 06 15 9781783744626 06 15 9781783744633 06 15 9781800645554 06 15 9781800642997 06 15 9781783744640 06 15 9781783744657 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0136.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0136 99 04 urn:uuid:78a7423c-aa99-4441-9d96-bab65065a32c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:78a7423c-aa99-4441-9d96-bab65065a32c 15 9781783746507 06 10.11647/OBP.0159 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Whose Book Is it Anyway?

But do we really know what it means? How do people actually quote today, and how did our present systems come about? This book brings together a down-to-earth account of contemporary quoting with an examination of the comparative and historical background that lies behind it and the characteristic way that quoting links past and present, the far and the near. Drawing from anthropology, cultural history, folklore, cultural studies, sociolinguistics, literary studies and the ethnography of speaking, Ruth Finnegan’s fascinating study sets our present conventions into cross-cultural and historical perspective. She traces the curious history of quotation marks, examines the long tradition of quotation collections with their remarkable recycling across the centuries, and explores the uses of quotation in literary, visual and oral traditions. The book tracks the changing definitions and control of quoting over the millennia and in doing so throws new light on ideas such as 'imitation', 'allusion', 'authorship', 'originality' and 'plagiarism'. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0012_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2011 06 15 9781906924331 06 15 9781906924348 06 15 9781906924355 06 15 9781800644397 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0012 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0012.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:5829a49d-d242-4c54-92c8-9625b64f6be0 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5829a49d-d242-4c54-92c8-9625b64f6be0 15 9781805110552 06 10.11647/OBP.0349 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 William Moorcroft, Potter Individuality by Design 1 A01 Jonathan Mallinson 01 eng 00 412 03 12 AFP 10 CRA028000 04 NK4210.M624 20 pottery 93 WFN 93 AFT 20 Arts and Crafts 10 DES003000 12 WFN 12 AFT 93 AKP 10 DES009000 20 production 93 AGA 12 AK 10 ART015100 20 Moorcroft 20 art 12 HBTB 12 HBLW 20 industry 20 biography 20 decorative arts 20 cultural history 01 06 03 00 William Moorcroft (1872-1945) was one of the most celebrated potters of the early twentieth century. His career extended from the Arts and Crafts movement of the late Victorian age to the Austerity aesthetics of the Second World War. Rejecting mass production and patronised by Royalty, Moorcroft’s work was a synthesis of studio and factory, art and industry. He considered it his vocation to create an everyday art, both functional and decorative, affordable by more than a privileged few: ‘If only the people in the world would concentrate upon making all things beautiful, and if all people concentrated on developing the arts of Peace, what a world it might be,’ he wrote in a letter to his daughter in 1930.'William Moorcroft, Potter: Individuality by Design' is a pioneering study by Jonathan Mallinson, Emeritus Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. It follows the career of William Moorcroft through a wealth of private papers, letters and diaries, business correspondence and published reviews in newspapers, trade magazines and art journals. Richly illustrated with examples of his pottery, it explores what lay behind the unique impact of work sought by museums and treasured in homes the world over. The book examines an artist’s very individual response to the turbulent half century in which he worked. It will appeal to both specialists and general readers with an interest in pottery, the decorative arts, and the cultural history of the times. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0349_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2023 06 15 9781805110538 06 15 9781805110545 06 15 9781805110552 06 15 9781805110590 06 15 9781805110583 06 15 9781805110569 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0349.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0349 99 04 urn:uuid:31255664-409e-4c57-8ee6-dbee9aa4fb7a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:31255664-409e-4c57-8ee6-dbee9aa4fb7a 15 9781800647589 06 10.11647/OBP.0304 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 William Rimmer Champion of Imagination in American Art 1 A01 Dorinda Evans 01 eng 00 250 03 12 ABA 10 ART015020 04 NB237.R6 20 William Rimmer 12 AFC 10 ART026000 20 modernist sculptor 12 AG 20 American sculptor 10 ART015100 12 ACV 10 ART016000 20 physician 12 AFKB 10 SCI056000 20 teacher of art anatomy 20 Cooper Union School of Design for Women 12 MFC 12 HBTB 12 JFC 01 06 03 00 William Rimmer (1816–1879) is arguably the first modernist American sculptor, although his inventive originality has not been fully acknowledged. Rimmer cultivated an art of ideas and personal expression whilst supporting himself as a physician and, later, as a teacher of art anatomy at the Cooper Union School of Design for Women in New York. Unlike his contemporaries, he advocated the creation of sculpture drawn entirely from the artist’s imagination, as opposed to antique archetypes or live models. In this way, he sought to reframe excellence in American art as something that must be found within, rather than derived from Europe. In this new monograph, the meaning of Rimmer’s works is for the first time considered from a combination of perspectives, such as close visual analysis (including X-ray and infrared), historical documentation, and social context. These are enriched with discussion of the artist’s own bipolar disorder, deeply-held spiritualism, and views on gender equality—considering women just as talented as men, he used naked male models in all-female classes long before his contemporaries, and produced an allegorical sculpture of fighting lions that criticized the tyranny of men over women.This book will be of great interest to academics, students, art museums, collectors, dealers, art historians, and members of the public with an affinity for Rimmer’s work. It will also appeal to those with a broader interest in American culture. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0304_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647565 06 15 9781800647572 06 15 9781800647589 06 15 9781800647626 06 15 9781800647619 06 15 9781800647596 06 15 9781800647602 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0304 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0304.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:5a78a715-9407-45ee-b282-55d02fab5639 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5a78a715-9407-45ee-b282-55d02fab5639 15 9781800643284 06 10.11647/OBP.0276 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 William Sharp and “Fiona Macleod” A Life 1 A01 William F.

A Scottish poet, novelist, biographer, and editor, he began in 1893 to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod who became far more than a pseudonym. Enlisting his sister to provide the Macleod handwriting, he used the voluminous Fiona correspondence to fashion a distinctive personality for a talented, but remote and publicity-shy woman. Sometimes she was his cousin and other times his lover, and whenever suspicions arose, he vehemently denied he was Fiona. For more than a decade he duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as George Meredith, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, William Butler Yeats, and E. C. Stedman.Drawing extensively on his letters, his wife Elizabeth Sharp’s Memoir, and accounts by friends and associates, this biography provides a lucid and intimate account of William Sharp’s life, from his rejection of the dour religion of his Scottish boyhood, his turn to spiritualism, to his role in the Scottish Celtic Revival in the mid-nineties. The biography illuminates his wide network of close male and female friendships, through which he developed advanced ideas about the place of women in society, the constraints of marriage, the fluidity of gender identity, and the complexity of the human psyche. Uniquely this biography reveals the autobiographical content of the writings of Fiona Macleod, the remarkable extent to which Sharp used the feminine pseudonym to disguise his telling and retelling the complex story of his extramarital love affair with a beautiful and brilliant woman.The biography illuminates not only the talented and conflicted William Sharp, but also the cultural landscape of Great Britain in the late-nineteenth century. From late Pre-Raphaelitism through the "yellow nineties” and on to the excesses of the early twentieth century, Sharp dabbled in all the movements that comprised what some have called the Age of Decadence. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0276_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800643260 06 15 9781800643277 06 15 9781800643284 06 15 9781800646667 06 15 9781800643314 06 15 9781800643291 06 15 9781800643307 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0276.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0276 99 04 urn:uuid:e499979f-dcdb-4f06-87b0-4dee9c3d2530 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e499979f-dcdb-4f06-87b0-4dee9c3d2530 15 9781805110729 06 10.11647/OBP.0352 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 10 01 02 Semitic Languages and Cultures 01 01 'Wisdom and Greatness in one Place' The Alexandrian Trader Moses ben Judah and his Circle 1 A01 21 0000-0001-5395-6653 Dotan Arad 2 A01 Esther-Miriam Wagner 01 eng 00 548 03 20 Archival material 12 BJ 93 DND 04 DS135.E42 10 LCO011000 12 2CSR 93 CJ 10 FOR002000 20 Moses ben Judah 20 Egyptian Jewry in the late Mamluk period 10 FOR011000 12 JFSR1 93 NHDJ 12 2CSJ 10 HIS037010 20 Judaeo-Arabic 12 HBLC1 20 Late Middle Ages 12 HMC 20 Mediterranean trade 01 06 03 00 The manuscript collections of the Bodleian Library contain a corpus of dozens of documents from the archive of Moses ben Judah. A leader of the Jewish community in Alexandria, he was also a prominent businessman and in contact with individuals from Cairo to Sicily. This collection of documents at the Bodleian likely did not emerge from the Cairo Genizah, but from another depository, and appears to have been buried at some point. The documents, which include letters and deeds, shed light on the world of the Jewish elite of a Mediterranean city at the end of the Middle Ages, their communal and business life, connections between Jewish communities, and intellectual trends and tastes among educated Jews. They improve our understanding of the lives of Alexandrian Jews in the late Middle Ages and provide new data about the local leadership and its relations with the Nagidate (the central Jewish leadership) in Cairo, the cantors, the poll tax and its effects, and more. We hear about tensions within this society and the growing presence of European (Italian, Greek, Iberian, and conversos) Jews within the complex social mosaic of Egyptian Jewry in the late Mamluk period. The documents inform us about Alexandria’s Jewish community and the commercial networks of the Mediterranean world, in which Jews traded alongside Christians and Muslims. This volume makes an important contribution to the study of Judaeo-Arabic at a watershed moment. Sources from the late Mamluk period show Judaeo-Arabic at a linguistic border between Classical and Late Judaeo-Arabic. The volume will therefore further readers’ knowledge of historical linguistics of Arabic in general, and Judaeo-Arabic in particular. The phrase ‘Wisdom and Greatness in One Place’ in the title of the book is a quotation from the Babylonian Talmud (Giṭṭin 59a), the meaning of which is that it is rare to find combined in one man political leadership and intellectual pre-eminence. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0352_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805110705 06 15 9781805110712 06 15 9781805110729 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0352.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0352 99 04 urn:uuid:7c41fd51-3a22-4ac5-9c82-3406815ef3a9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7c41fd51-3a22-4ac5-9c82-3406815ef3a9 15 9781783745135 06 10.11647/OBP.0144 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 With and Without Galton Vasilii Florinskii and the Fate of Eugenics in Russia 1 A01 21 0000-0001-8839-5948 Nikolai Krementsov 01 eng 00 694 03 20 history 04 HQ755.5.S65 12 PDX 10 SCI034000 20 biography 10 HIS010010 12 PDR 12 BGT 20 eugenics 10 HIS037060 10 POL060000 20 science 20 medicine 20 Russia 20 USSR 20 Francis Galton 20 Vasilii Florinskii 01 06 03 00 In 1865, British polymath Francis Galton published his initial thoughts about the scientific field that would become ‘eugenics.’ The same year, Russian physician Vasilii Florinskii addressed similar issues in a sizeable treatise, entitled Human Perfection and Degeneration. Initially unheralded, Florinskii’s book would go on to have a remarkable afterlife in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Russia. In this lucid and insightful work, Nikolai Krementsov argues that the concept of eugenics brings together ideas, values, practices, and fears energised by a focus on the future. It has proven so seductive to different groups over time because it provides a way to grapple with fundamental existential questions of human nature and destiny. With and Without Galton develops this argument by tracing the life-story of Florinskii’s monograph from its uncelebrated arrival amid the Russian empire’s Great Reforms, to its reissue after the Bolshevik Revolution, its decline under Stalinism, and its subsequent resurgence: first, as a founding document of medical genetics, and most recently, as a manifesto for nationalists and racial purists. Krementsov’s meticulously researched ‘biography of a book’ sheds light not only on the peculiar fate of eugenics in Russia, but also on its convoluted transnational history, elucidating the field’s protean nature and its continuing and contested appeal to diverse audiences, multiple local trajectories, and global trends. It is required reading for historians of eugenics, science, medicine, education, literature, and Russia, and it will also appeal to the general reader looking for a deeper understanding of this challenging subject. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0144_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 University of Toronto Cambridge, UK 04 19 2018 06 15 9781783745111 06 15 9781783745128 06 15 9781783745135 06 15 9781800645639 06 15 9781783746217 06 15 9781783745142 06 15 9781783745159 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0144.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0144 99 04 urn:uuid:c1f46a3f-6fc8-4019-8ab3-e409f3190ad5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c1f46a3f-6fc8-4019-8ab3-e409f3190ad5 15 9781800644137 06 10.11647/OBP.0372 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 ‘Wit’s Wild Dancing Light’ Reading the Poems of Alexander Pope 1 A01 William Hutchings 01 eng 00 312 03 20 Alexander Pope 12 DSA 93 DSC 10 LIT014000 04 PR3634 20 Eighteenth-century English poetry 93 JNU 12 JNU 10 POE005020 20 Chronological reading 12 DNF 93 DS 10 LIT004120 20 Critical appraisal 93 DNL 12 DSBF 20 Age of Enlightenment 01 06 03 00 The book is a chronological reading of Alexander Pope’s poems, from the Pastorals (1709) to the four-book Dunciad (1743).

As a whole, the volume gives an impression of a wide range of migratory events from women’s perspectives, covering the Caribbean Diaspora, refugees and slavery through the various lenses of politics and war, love and family.The contributors, which include academics and artists, offer both personal and critical points of view on the artistic and historical repositories of these experiences. Selfies, motherhood, violence and Hollywood all feature in this substantial treasure-trove of women’s joy and suffering, disaster and delight, place, memory and identity. This collection appeals to artists and scholars of the humanities, particularly within the social sciences; though there is much to recommend it to creatives seeking inspiration or counsel on the issue of migratory experiences. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0153_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2019 06 15 9781783745654 06 15 9781783745661 06 15 9781783745678 06 15 9781800645721 06 15 9781783746743 06 15 9781783745685 06 15 9781783745692 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0153.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0153 99 04 urn:uuid:1d76a430-7385-4f40-9262-e97adfd1daf5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1d76a430-7385-4f40-9262-e97adfd1daf5 15 9781800647107 06 10.11647/OBP.0296 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Women and Migration(s) II 1 B01 Kalia Brooks 2 B01 Cheryl Finley 3 B01 Ellyn Toscano 4 B01 Deborah Willis 01 eng 00 406 03 12 AG 04 JV6347 10 SOC008000 20 women 12 AJ 20 migration 10 SOC007000 20 intersectionality 12 JFFN 10 SOC028000 20 art 12 JFS 20 film 20 poetry 20 food 20 borders 20 identity 20 trauma 20 dislocation 20 humanities 20 social sciences 20 public policy 01 06 03 00 Women and Migration(s) II draws together contributions from scholars and artists showcasing the breadth of intersectional experiences of migration, from diaspora to internal displacement. Building on conversations initiated in Women and Migration: Responses in Art and History, this edited volume features a range of written styles, from memoir to artists’ statements to journalistic and critical essays. The collection shows how women’s experiences of migration have been articulated through art, film, poetry and even food.This varied approach aims to aid understanding of the lived experiences of home, loss, family, belonging, isolation, borders and identity—issues salient both in experiences of migration and in the epochal times in which we find ourselves today. These are stories of trauma and fear, but also stories of the strength, perseverance, hope and even joy of women surviving their own moments of disorientation, disenfranchisement and dislocation. This collection engages with current issues in an effort to deepen understanding, encourage ongoing reflection and build a more just future. It will appeal to artists and scholars of the humanities, social sciences, and public policy, as well as general readers with an interest in women’s experiences of migration. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0296_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2022 06 15 9781800647084 06 15 9781800647091 06 15 9781800647107 06 15 9781800647145 06 15 9781800647138 06 15 9781800647114 06 15 9781800647121 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0296 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0296.pdf 99 04 urn:uuid:812fe9cd-58e2-42fe-aea0-ed32e33ce4cb 03 01 01 urn:uuid:812fe9cd-58e2-42fe-aea0-ed32e33ce4cb 15 9781906924676 06 10.11647/OBP.0018 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 01 01 Women in Nineteenth-Century Russia Lives and Culture 1 B01 Wendy Rosslyn 2 B01 Alessandra Tosi 01 eng 00 261 03 12 HBJ 04 HQ1662 20 Russian history 10 SOC028000 12 1DVUA 10 HIS032000 20 women's history 20 feminism 10 HIS037060 20 nineteenth century Russia 20 cultural studies 20 women in the arts 20 gender studies 20 russian culture 20 russian literature 20 russian religion 20 russian art 20 music 20 theatre 01 06 03 00 Russian women of the nineteenth century are often thought of in their literary incarnations as the heroines of novels such as Anna Karenina and War and Peace. But their real counterparts are now becoming better understood as active contributors to Russia’s varied cultural landscape. This collection of essays examines the lives of women across Russia – from wealthy noblewomen in St Petersburg to desperately poor peasants in Siberia – discussing their interaction with the church and the law, and their rich contribution to music, art, literature and theatre. It shows how women struggled for greater autonomy and, both individually and collectively, developed a dynamic but often overlooked presence in Russia's culture and society during the long nineteenth century (1800-1917). Women in Nineteenth-Century Russia provides invaluable reading for anyone interested in Russian history, nineteenth-century culture and gender studies. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0018_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2012 06 15 9781906924652 06 15 9781906924669 06 15 9781906924676 06 15 9781800644458 06 15 9781906924683 06 15 9781906924690 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0018.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0018 99 04 urn:uuid:ad159e3c-c951-4244-a764-93baafe5c2a7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ad159e3c-c951-4244-a764-93baafe5c2a7 15 9781805115533 06 10.11647/OBP.0458 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 01 01 Women Writers in the Romantic Age 1 A01 21 0000-0003-0644-9530 John Claiborne Isbell 2 Z01 21 0000-0003-0644-9530 John Claiborne Isbell 01 eng 00 370 03 93 DSBD 10 LIT004130 20 Women Writers in Romanticism 20 Global Romantic Literature 93 JBSF1 10 LIT004290 93 DSM 10 LIT020000 20 Revolutionary Era Literature 10 LIT003000 20 Transnational Literary Studies 20 Feminist Literary History 10 HIS037050 20 Romanticism and Gender 10 SOC028000 01 06 03 00 This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive review of six hundred and fifty women writers from over fifty national traditions, spanning Europe and the Americas during the transformative years of 1776 to 1848. Framed by revolutionary upheavals, the book explores how women writers shaped and reflected Romanticism’s global currents. It fills a critical scholarly gap, connecting disparate traditions and uncovering voices often overlooked in male-dominated literary histories.Through concise entries, the book names every woman writer identified in its vast research, from celebrated figures like Phillis Wheatley to lesser-known authors whose manuscripts lay buried in archives. Each entry provides essential biographical details, while select excerpts in seventeen languages bring these voices to life, revealing how women navigated the era’s revolutionary ideals and patriarchal barriers.Structured democratically, the volume treats all writers equally—whether anonymous, pseudonymous, or celebrated in their time. It highlights their diverse experiences: poets and novelists, abolitionists and suffragists, mothers and mill workers. From memoirs to political tracts, their works testify to the rich tapestry of women’s contributions to Romanticism.By illuminating these stories, this book challenges national silos, offering a panoramic view of Romanticism as a truly transnational, female-inclusive phenomenon. It represents a go-to resource for students and interested readers, while setting the ground for future scholars to expand this vital field of study. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0458_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2025 06 15 9781805115519 06 15 9781805115526 06 15 9781805115533 06 15 9781805115557 06 15 9781805115540 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0458.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0458 99 04 urn:uuid:94989779-bf80-4ccd-bece-fa963eb025ac 03 01 01 urn:uuid:94989779-bf80-4ccd-bece-fa963eb025ac 15 9781783742905 06 10.11647/OBP.0105 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 Woodstock Scholarship An Interdisciplinary Annotated Bibliography 1 A01 Jeffrey N.

Scholars study the sociological, political, musical, and artistic impact of the event and use it as a cultural touchstone when exploring alternative perspectives or seeking clarity. This interdisciplinary annotated bibliography records the details of over 400 English-language resources on the Festival, including books, chapters, articles, websites, transcriptions and videos. Divided into six main subsections―Culture & Society, History, Biography, Music, Film, Arts & Literature―for ease of consultation Woodstock Scholarship sheds light on all facets of a key happening in our collective history.Throughout the 1960s, popular music became increasingly reflective and suggestive of the rising political and social consciousness of the youth culture. Examples can be seen in the development of the protest song genre within the folk music boom of the early Sixties and the marriage of lifestyle to music first reflected by The Beatles with fashion, followed by psychedelic music with the emerging drug culture. Woodstock was where these themes coalesced, thus becoming the defining and last great moment of the 1960s. However, Woodstock also represented an abundant amount of experiences and ideas and moments. Thus, when exploring the complicated accounts and numerous facets of America during the turbulent Sixties one discovers scholarship on the key subjects, such as the Vietnam War or the Civil Rights Movement, often considering and debating the importance, relevance, and epic nature of Woodstock. Multiple narratives emerge: a radical engagement of the hippie movement, an overt commercial exploitation of youth culture, a political statement. Woodstock scholarship does not stand alone as field of study, but it is at the cross-road of a number of disciplines―music history, cultural studies, sociology, arts and literature, media studies, politics and economics.Providing full bibliographical details and concise, informative annotation for each entry, Woodstock Scholarship is an essential tool for students, scholars, teachers, and librarians in all these areas, as well as for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of both the Woodstock Music and Art Fair phenomenon and of the confluence of music, commerce and politics. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0105_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 16 Loyola Marymount University Cambridge, UK 04 19 2016 06 15 9781783742882 06 15 9781783742899 06 15 9781783742905 06 15 9781800645240 06 15 9781783746200 06 15 9781783742912 06 15 9781783742929 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0105.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0105 99 04 urn:uuid:fb11be21-658a-4c62-be2a-87f92d10d234 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fb11be21-658a-4c62-be2a-87f92d10d234 15 9781783743704 06 10.11647/OBP.0121 00 EB E107 10 Creative Commons License 02 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 01 01 World of Walls The Structure, Roles and Effectiveness of Separation Barriers 1 A01 21 0000-0002-3362-6240 Said Saddiki 01 eng 00 152 03 20 Borders 12 JPS 04 JV6225 10 POL012000 12 JFFN 10 POL011000 20 walls 20 border security 10 SOC007000 20 immigration 10 POL037000 20 Israel 20 India 20 Marocco 20 Mexico 20 U.S 20 virtual barriers 20 international relations 01 06 03 00 "We’re going to build a wall.” <break/>Borders have been drawn since the beginning of time, but in recent years artificial barriers have become increasingly significant to the political conversation across the world. Donald Trump was elected President of the United States while promising to build a wall on the Mexico border, and in Europe, the international movements of migrants and refugees have sparked fierce discussion about whether and how countries should restrict access to their territory by erecting physical barriers. Virtual walls are also built and crushed at increasing speed. In the post-9/11 era there is a greater danger from so-called "transnational non-state actors”, and computer hacking and cyberterrorism threaten to overwhelm our technological barriers.<break/>In this timely and original book, Said Saddiki scrutinises the physical and virtual walls located in four continents, including Israel, India, the southern EU border, Morocco, and the proposed border wall between Mexico and the US. Saddiki’s detailed analysis explores the tensions between the rise of globalisation, which some have argued will lead to a "borderless world” and "the end of the nation-state”, and the rapid development in recent decades of border control systems.<break/>Saddiki examines both regular and irregular cross-border activities, including the flow of people, goods, ideas, drugs, weapons, capital, and information, and explores the disparities that are reflected by barriers to such activities. He considers the consequences of the construction of physical and virtual walls, including their impact on international relations and the rise of the multi-billion dollar security market.<break/>World of Walls: The Structure, Roles and Effectiveness of Separation Barriers is important reading for all those interested in the topics of immigration, border security, international relations, and policy. 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0121_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 19 2017 06 15 9781783743681 06 15 9781783743698 06 15 9781783743704 06 15 9781800645400 06 15 9781783744268 06 15 9781783743711 06 15 9781783743728 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0121.pdf 99 04 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0121 99 04
