The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

It is largely thanks to such people as Alexandra David-Neel, W. Y. Evans-Wentz, and Lama Govinda that Tibet had been made known to people in the West. it is their writings, lectures as well as adopted lifestyles, as in the case of David-Neel and Lama Govinda, that Tibet became intelligible, and they are the heroes and spokespersons who make known the wonders and mysteries in "Pioneers of Tibet." This book is about those passionate souls who would leave no stone unturned to get at the heart of what Tibet is about, and this book is aimed at paying tribute to them.

Umweltrecht Zu Beginn Des 21. Jahrhunderts: Gesammelte Beitrage. Hrsg. Von Rico David Neugartner

Umweltrecht Zu Beginn Des 21. Jahrhunderts: Gesammelte Beitrage. Hrsg. Von Rico David Neugartner

Michael Kloepfer

Duncker Humblot
2023
sidottu
Anhand einer Auswahl von 15 Aufsatzen von Michael Kloepfer blickt der Band auf Entwicklungen des Umweltrechts seit der Jahrtausendwende. Einige Beitrage betrachten Geschichte und Perspektiven des Rechtsgebiets. Andere Aufsatze verdeutlichen, dass das Umweltrecht - als instrumentell innovative Rechtsmaterie mit Querschnittscharakter - erst unter Wurdigung seines Wechselspiels mit anderen Rechtsgebieten wie Informations-, Agrar-, Katastrophen-, Kartell- oder Vergaberecht angemessen begriffen werden kann. Weitere Beitrage fokussieren die Rolle Privater und das Kooperationsprinzip des Umweltschutzes etwa in der Energiewirtschaftspolitik. Daruber hinaus rucken einige Beitrage den Topos der Umweltgerechtigkeit in das Zentrum, wenden diesen auf Klimaklagen an und erortern Ansatze seiner Ausweitung zu einer umfassenderen ecological justice. Eine Anmerkung zum Beschluss des Bundesverfassungsgerichts zum Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetz aus dem Fruhjahr 2021 bildet den Abschluss des Bands.

Die Schweiz kann nicht nur den traurigen Ruhm fur sich in Anspruch nehmen, mit Anna Goldin die letzte Hexe Europas hingerichtet zu haben. Zu einer Zeit, als in England bereits an Dampfmaschinen gebastelt wird, als in Frankreich Diderot und D'Alembert mit ihrer Encyclopedie den Boden fur die Revolution bereiten, wird in Luzern der Bauer Jakob Schmidli wegen Irrlehren und Verfuhrung verurteilt, stranguliert und auf einem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt. In der Folge argumentieren Aufklarer, Freisinnige und Pietistinnen mit Jakob Schmidli gegen die katholische Kirche, Vertreter des Klerus sahen in ihm ein Opfer eines ruckstandigen Staats. Leicht lesbar, aber wissenschaftlich fundiert zeichnet Gregor Emmenegger den Fall Jakob Schmidli und seine Rezeption nach. Er zeigt, welche Mechanismen 1747 zur Hinrichtung fuhrten, und verdichtet in exemplarischer Weise die Schweizer Kirchengeschichte der letzten 300 Jahre.

Who and what killed Dylan Thomas? The death of this iconic writer, in New York in November 1953, remains shrouded in mystery fifty-five years later. What might have been a triumphant new departure in his career and life with the first production of Under Milk Wood, and plans to work on operas with Igor Stravinsky and Samuel Barber turned instead into a requiem for man whose life spiralled out of control.Was it alcohol abuse, diabetes, a heart attack, medical incompetence – all reasons previously advanced? And was Thomas himself at fault? What part was played by his lover, Liz Reitell, her doctor Milton Feltenstein, hospital doctors McVeigh and Glibertson, the literary impressario John Malcolm Brinnin?Leading Dylan Thomas authority David N. Thomas draws on his extensive research, and uncovers startling new evidence, to produce the definitive answers in a superbly written account which balances historical context with forensic detail, Thomas' character with the demands made upon him by friends, lovers and his reading public. His verdict is a chilling study of a poet, a place and a death.David Thomas is the author of several books on Dylan Thomas, including Dylan Thomas: A Farm, Two Mansions and a Bungalow, an account of his life in wartime west Wales, which has been made into the film, The Edge of Love, starring Keira Knightly and Sienna Miller.

The Nubian Past

The Nubian Past

David N. Edwards

Routledge
2004
sidottu
This cutting-edge synthesis of the archaeology of Nubia and Sudan from prehistory to the nineteenth century AD is the first major work on this area for over three decades. Drawing on results of the latest research and developing new interpretive frameworks, the area which has produced the most spectacular archaeology in sub-Saharan Africa is examined here by an author with extensive experience in this field.The geographical range of the book extends through the Nubian north, the Middle Nile Basin, and includes what has become the modern Sudan. Using period-based chapters, the region's long-term history is traced and a potential for a more broadly framed and inclusive 'historical archaeology' of Sudan's more recent past is explored.This text breaks new ground in its move beyond the Egyptocentric and more traditional culture-histories of Nubia, often isolated in Africanist research, and it relocates the early civilizations and their archaeology within their Sudanic Africa context. This is a captivating study of the area's history, and will inform and enthral all students and researchers of Archaeology and Egyptology.

The Origin Then and Now

The Origin Then and Now

David N. Reznick

Princeton University Press
2011
pokkari
Charles Darwin's Origin of Species is one of the most widely cited books in modern science. Yet tackling this classic can be daunting for students and general readers alike because of Darwin's Victorian prose and the complexity and scope of his ideas. The "Origin" Then and Now is a unique guide to Darwin's masterwork, making it accessible to a much wider audience by deconstructing and reorganizing the Origin in a way that allows for a clear explanation of its key concepts. The Origin is examined within the historical context in which it was written, and modern examples are used to reveal how this work remains a relevant and living document for today. In this eye-opening and accessible guide, David Reznick shows how many peculiarities of the Origin can be explained by the state of science in 1859, helping readers to grasp the true scope of Darwin's departure from the mainstream thinking of his day. He reconciles Darwin's concept of species with our current concept, which has advanced in important ways since Darwin first wrote the Origin, and he demonstrates why Darwin's theory unifies the biological sciences under a single conceptual framework much as Newton did for physics. Drawing liberally from the facsimile of the first edition of the Origin, Reznick enables readers to follow along as Darwin develops his ideas. The "Origin" Then and Now is an indispensable primer for anyone seeking to understand Darwin's Origin of Species and the ways it has shaped the modern study of evolution.

Emancipating New York

Emancipating New York

David N. Gellman

Louisiana State University Press
2008
nidottu
An innovative blend of cultural and political history, Emancipating New York is the most complete study to date of the abolition of slavery in New York state. Focusing on public opinion, David N. Gellman shows New Yorkers engaged in vigorous debates and determined activism during the final decades of the eighteenth century as they grappled with the possibility of freeing the state's black population. The gradual emancipation that began in New York in 1799 helped move an entire region of the country toward a historically rare slaveless democracy, creating a wedge in the United States that would ultimately lead to the Civil War. Gellman's comprehensive examination of the reasons for and timing of New York's dismantling of slavery provides a fascinating narrative of a citizenry addressing longstanding injustices central to some of the greatest traumas of American history.

Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran

Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran

David N. Yaghoubian

Syracuse University Press
2014
sidottu
Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran investigates the ways in which Armenian minorities in Iran encountered Iranian nationalism and participated in its development over the course of the twentieth century. Based primarily on oral interviews, archival documents, personal memoirs, memorabilia, and photographs, the book examines the lives of a group of Armenian-Iranians—a truck driver, an army officer, a parliamentary representative, a civil servant, and a scout leader—and explores the personal conflicts and paradoxes attendant upon their layered allegiances and compound identities.In documenting individual experiences in Iranian industry, military, government, education, and community organization, the five social biographies detail the various roles of elites and non-elites in the development of Iranian nationalism and reveal the multiple forces that shape the processes of identity formation. Yaghoubian combines these portraits with theories of nationalism and national identity to answer recurring pivotal questions about how nationalism evolves, why it is appealing, what broad forces and daily activities shape and sustain it, and the role of ethnicity in its development.

Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science

Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science

David N. Livingstone

The University of Alabama Press
2005
nidottu
Nathaniel Southgate Shaler and the Culture of American Science is the first book-length study of the man who served a Harvard’s Professor of Geology and Paleontology during the Darwinian era. Shaler was a student of Louis Agassiz and went on to a successful, multifaceted career as a geologist, geographer, educator, humanist, and poet. Livingstone employs a thematic approach to chart Shaler’s career against the broader intellectual currents of America’s Gilded Age. After tracing Shaler’s life story from his boyhood in Kentucky through his student years at Harvard, his service with the Geological Survey, and eventually his years as Dean of Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School, the author examines Shaler’s evolutionary vision and portrays his strategic efforts to reconcile the nineteenth century’s scientific and religious world views.Livingstone assesses Shaler’s prolific writings, including those on race, which demonstrate a typical concern to provide a “scientific” perspective on the political questions of immigration restriction and eugenic control. IN addition, the book explores his efforts to interweave geography and history, particularly in relation to the American frontier; and his contributions to geology and geomorphology. The portrait of Shaler is completed with a review of his educational thinking and his role in establishing the American Summer School and in furthering scientific and technological education.Nathaniel Southgate Shaler emerges from Livingstone’s work as a distinctive figure in the development of the new scientific culture, a figure who provides a focal point for assessing the impact of evolutionary naturalism on late-nineteenth-century American thought.

First Do No Harm

First Do No Harm

David N. Gibbs

Vanderbilt University Press
2009
sidottu
In ""First Do No Harm"", David Gibbs raises basic questions about the humanitarian interventions that have played a key role in U.S. foreign policy for the past twenty years. Using a wide range of sources, including government documents, transcripts of international war crimes trials, and memoirs, Gibbs shows how these interventions often heightened violence and increased human suffering. The book focuses on the 1991-1999 breakup of Yugoslavia, which helped forge the idea that the United States and its allies could stage humanitarian interventions that would end ethnic strife. It is widely believed that NATO bombing campaigns in Bosnia and Kosovo played a vital role in stopping Serb-directed aggression, and thus resolving the conflict. Gibbs challenges this view, offering an extended critique of Samantha Power's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, ""A Problem from Hell: America in the Age of Genocide"". He shows that intervention contributed to the initial breakup of Yugoslavia, and then helped spread the violence and destruction. Gibbs also explains how the motives for U.S. intervention were rooted in its struggle for continued hegemony in Europe. ""First Do No Harm"" argues for a new, noninterventionist model for U.S. foreign policy, one that deploys nonmilitary methods for addressing ethnic violence.
