Hva er forholdet mellom tekst og historie? Hvordan preges tekstene vi skaper av tida de tilhører? Hvordan griper tekstene selv inn i historien? Denne boka tilbyr både viktige modeller for historisk tekstlesing, og en reise gjennom historiens tekster. Spørsmålene om relasjonene mellom tekst, tid og rom er noen av de eldste i humanvitenskapene, og de er like avgjørende i dag. "Tekst og historie" er en introduksjon til historisk lesing av tekster, skrevet av en gruppe forskere med bakgrunn fra litteratur, tekstvitenskap, lingvistikk og historie. Gjennom konkrete teksteksempler drøfter boken de viktigste begrepene på feltet, og gir et originalt innblikk i de forskjellige fagtradisjonenes perspektiver. Slik tilbyr boka både viktige modeller for historisk tekstlesing, og en reise gjennom historiens tekster selv, fra hieroglyfene til Aftenposten, fra 1700-tallets romaner til statsministerens nyttårstale. Boken retter seg både mot studenter og forskere i de humanistiske fagene, og et allment lesende publikum. Forfatterne utgjør forskergruppen Tekst/historie ved Universitetet i Oslo. "La [det] vere sagt med eing gong (...) dette prosjektet har begeistra denne bokmeldaren." Sissel Rosland i Nytt norsk tidsskrift 2 - 2009
"UNDER HIS WATCH: Over 100 Reasons to Re-elect & Remember President Barack Obama," is a tribute to the 44th president by author DeQuina Moore. This accomplished professional actress, singer, dancer, and now author, DeQuina Moore, has penned a fun and easy read (the perfect coffee-table book), listing over 100 reasons why Americans should re-elect President Barack Obama for a second term. TIRED of the misleading, negative right-wing propaganda and (what she calls) a misbehaving Congress, Moore's primary purpose of the book is to provide potential voters with pertinent info about the Obama administration. She hopes to expose readers to JUST THE FACTS about President Obama, minus the negative spins and inflammatory commentaries. It's Moore's desire that after reading "UNDER HIS WATCH...," readers would come to know EVERYTHING that President Obama has accomplished on behalf of ALL people, not just a chosen few. Additionally, even post-election, "UNDER HIS WATCH" is a BEAUTIFUL KEEPSAKE which captures the many moments of truth and power concerning President Obama's first term Moore elaborates on it all in a unique manner utilizing outstanding artwork and photography to help illustrate her views. "UNDER HIS WATCH" will be available for purchase at all major online retailers, and in book stores beginning October 15th, just in time for the 2012 Presidential Election. A vocalist in her own right, DeQuina Moore has also recorded the song "Thank You" to accompany the book. The song is available for download on her website (www.DequinaMoore.com), and the music video is viewable there as well "'Thank You' is an ode to the President, a perfect complement to the book," Moore explains. The beautiful melodic original piece was written, arranged, and performed by Moore. The United States and so many countries have already strongly benefited from President Obama's governing and the justification is well documented in "UNDER HIS WATCH". Also, Moore's bloggish-style responses to the facts she offers are hilariously written, filled with a mighty wit, and a prideful punch. Once you read this book and see the brilliant artwork/photos, you will easily understand why this awesome man was elected to the presidency in the first place You will likewise see that his visions and desires for the United States are parallel to most Americans, and are the most selfless, non-arrogant and truly necessary approaches any president could ever take. Additionally, you will observe that he has already, in less than four years, made more strides in a similar period than any other president we have ever had, and there would have been even more positive "change" if it were not for all the unwarranted, unpopular, congressional filibustering he's had to endure. "UNDER HIS WATCH" was written for the many working people who do not have time to come home and watch non-partisan news or turn on a computer to learn what President Obama has contributed toward their futures. It was not DeQuina Moore's desire for fellow working citizens to continue walking around supporting or rejecting President Obama while not really knowing what he stands for, and what specific "change" his fighting represents. Thus, all "UNDER HIS WATCH" readers will be armed and ready for battle at the voting booth, AND will own a wonderful piece of historical literature-a thrilling, easy-going, educational KEEPSAKE they can hold very dear to their hearts
Europe has paid a high price for asbestos, with over 100 000 related deaths. First in line in the fight to free buildings from asbestos contamination, workers in the construction sector could soon find a helping hand in the form of an AI-piloted robotic system.The constant and multifaceted evolution of society has left very few industries unchanged. For most sectors, this has meant moving towards increased automation. Most, but not all. One unyielding sector has largely stayed true to its old ways: the construction sector. For the past 200 years, the same repetitive, standardised and physically challenging construction tasks have been performed by workers with their own two hands. But this could change soon, as emerging voices - some of which decided to stand together under the Bots2ReC (Robots to Re-Construction) project - have been calling for the sector to embrace automation. The reasoning behind Bots2ReC is simple: some tasks are simply too hazardous for humans to perform, and machines could easily replace them. Besides the exposure, some processes or the materials handled in those processes generate health hazards in the form of dust, vibration, noise or toxic substances. It is precisely for these tasks that we could expect great benefits from - and also show the massive potential of - automation to achieve sustainable socio-ecological improvements.With its focus on asbestos, the EU H2020 Bots2ReC project is focusing on reducing the future health burden on workers. There is little doubt that the cost of the technology will easily be counterbalanced by its high social benefit and economic efficiency. This books presents the findings and results of the Bots2ReC project, and should be useful for Construction and Robotics Engineers, as well as graduate level students and researchers active in these fields.
