POLITICAL THEORY IN RETROSPECT

POLITICAL THEORY IN RETROSPECT

Geraint Williams

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
1991
nidottu
This important new book presents a lucid introduction to political thought from Socrates to the present. It successfully marries the hitherto diverse traditions of history and theory in the search for political understanding.Political theorists share in common an attempt to reveal the reality which underlies the world of politics. Is there a key to unlock the mysteries of politics? And if there is, what impact does this have on morality? Is politics a separate world or one which should serve a moral purpose? By examining major thinkers both in the context of their own time and their relevance to the present, the book shows how political theory can be applied to major controversies in the 20th century.Political Theory in Retrospect makes an important contribution to historical discussion and philosophical analysis. It successfully integrates political theory into the study of modern politics.

The battles in arts funding is a common problem in many nations and this commentary relates the struggles of arts and media programs in Wales. Written from a personal perspective, this account focuses on the battle to maintain the arm's length principle--both parties are on equal footing with no gain--in arts funding, while also describing the long devolutionary road and a struggle to sustain a more local voice in the face of globalization and the increasing centralization of British government and media.

Grace, Grit & Gumption

Grace, Grit & Gumption

Geraint Fielder

Christian Focus Publications Ltd
2004
pokkari
John Pugh, railway worker, Seth Joshua, donkey driver, fighter and Frank Joshua, teacher were all converted in the Welsh valleys. Pugh became a dedicated pastor who planted and grew several large churches before becoming involved in the ‘Forward Movement’. The Joshua brothers had independently, and with no training, started a venture of their own which saw great growth amongst the English language dominated industrial areas. It became the sort of pilot scheme that Pugh was looking for and they joined forces. The title of the book is taken from Pugh’s plan to reach the unchurched industrial wasteland of Splott, next to Cardiff. He advertised the fact that he wanted ‘To secure men of GRACE, GRIT AND GUMPTION’ for the work.

Hadrian's Wall and its People

Hadrian's Wall and its People

Geraint Osborn

Bristol Phoenix Press
2006
nidottu
Hadrian’s Wall – one of the most prominent monuments of the Roman period in Britain – has a special place in the public imagination. It offers a tangible reminder of our ancient past and a concrete link with the Roman occupation. Visitors can stand amid the remains, knowing that they tread in the footsteps of the soldiers who garrisoned the province. Guides to the Wall have tended to concentrate on the archaeological record, on the Wall’s construction and on military organisation. This book folds these aspects into a wider historical, social and economic perspective, providing the general reader with an analysis of how Hadrian’s Wall functioned. It describes the impact it had on the lives of both Rome’s soldiers and the native population, dealing with the contentious issue of ‘Romanisation’. It looks, too, at what happened in Christian communities of the Wall area after the Roman army’s departure. Geraint Osborn utilises archaeological evidence, including the content of the remarkable Vindolanda tablets, to give a rounded picture of military life on the Wall. He also considers the role of the monument in the context of Victorian England, a time when parallels were frequently drawn between the Roman and British empires, and how this in turn affected the excavation, preservation and modern presentation of Hadrian’s Wall.

The Heyday in the Blood

The Heyday in the Blood

Geraint Goodwin

Parthian Books
2008

The village of Tanygraig on the Welsh-English border is the setting for this passionate novel of love and its consequences. Beti, the beautiful and wilful daughter of a pub landlord, is pursued by two men: Llew, her aggressive, red-haired cousin, and Evan, the dreamy miller and would-be poet. She has to make a choice but it's not her future alone that depends on her decision. She and Tanygraig are positioned precariously on borders of class, nation, language, and changing times. In this enduring novel by Geraint Goodwin, first published in 1936, Wales is associated with tradition and stability, England connotes modernity and movement. Beti is conscious of living at a temporal border: "The old way of things was ending; she had come at the end of one age and the beginning of another. Wales would be the last to go - but it was going..."

Black Dragon

Black Dragon

Geraint Hughes

Stairway Press
2019
pokkari
Black Dragon includes a full and comprehensive summary of the main reasons as to why the human-caused Global Warming theory is false.Global warming science is taught falsely, right from the start. This false teaching is to convince people to believe in science which isn't true, so that they willingly make expensive and unnecessary life changes, submit themselves to restrictions on their energy usage and happy to pay extra taxes. Extra taxes to people whom offer nothing in return for the extra expense but hardship.Black Dragon shines a light upon the major aspects of these falsehoods and illuminates the truth in a manner which can be understood, plainly and simply.The "twaddle talk" about how greenhouses work by radiation or the lies that atmospheres back-warm planets and the ever ready falsehood that Venus suffers a "Runaway Greenhouse Effect" are all absurd. This book explains why. The deceptive experiments of the left are laid bare and true science is taught. Black Dragon breaks the code of deceit and teaches how greenhouses really work and how to use real thermal radiation equations to quickly approximate temperatures of simple objects in space. It explains how light bulbs work and how this mechanism disproves back radiation theory. It explains why a CO2 gas planet is cold and an Oxygen gas planet is hot. It shows the real factors at work in the infamous two gas bottle experiment. It explains Venus and goes on to prove oil isn't really a fossil fuel. Oil is being unfairly demonized to force people to pay more. It shows what could be wrong with the often used mathematical proof of back radiation using two plates and why a basic two-dimensional flat plate model is inappropriate. This often used "London's Calling 911" two plate model could be completely wrong itself. London should put the phone down and stop making crank calls. This book is a must read, it will change how you think about climate change. This true science should be compulsory teaching in all schools.The brainwashing of the high tax left must end.

Erased Erased de Kooning Drawing

Erased Erased de Kooning Drawing

Geraint Edwards

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
pokkari
"It's really lovely." - Kenneth Goldsmith"i enjoyed every single page" - Olia Lialina."l l'd" - Cory Arcangel.The title "Erased Erased de Kooning Drawing" refers to the Robert Rauschenberg work in which he erased a Willem de Kooning drawing over the space of a month, using around 40 erasers in an act of "additive subtraction", leaving an "empty" image, which showed traces of its former state: a palimpsest.As digital erasure is so much more visually complete, a blank digital image will not show such a history. The pure absence of visual information could represent the beginning point of an act of creation, or the end point of an act of destruction.De Kooning told Rauschenberg that he would make it as difficult as possible for him, selecting a drawing which included charcoal, oil paint, pencil and crayon. In the same spirit, a 1-pixel diameter Eraser tool was selected in Photoshop and an image of the Rauschenberg artwork was erased over five sessions and a total of nine hours and thirty-three minutes (a total of 973 "Eraser" actions).Whilst the final visual image is devoid of information, the story of the erasure is encoded in the metadata in the History Log file. This text serves as a digital palimpsest; an epic poem which begs a more general question about how truth has retreated from our retinal environment.When pushed as to what his Erased de Kooning Drawing was, Rauschenberg denied that it was an act of the youngster challenging the authority of the established master, instead calling it a "celebration". He similarly rejected claims that the work was an act of destruction or negation, stating instead that it was "poetry".

Mise en scène, Acting, and Space in Comics

Mise en scène, Acting, and Space in Comics

Geraint D'Arcy

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2020
sidottu
This book explores some of the less frequently questioned ideas which underpin comics creation and criticism. “Mise en scène” is a term which refers to the way in which visual elements work together to create meaning in comics. It is a term that comics have borrowed from cinema, which borrowed it in turn from theatre. But comics are not film and they are not cinema, so how can this term be of any use? If we consider comics to have mise en scène, should not we also ask if the characters in comics act like the characters on film and stage? In its exploration of these ideas, this book also asks what film and theatre can learn from comics.

Economics for Lovers of Literature

Economics for Lovers of Literature

Geraint Johnes

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book provides an engaging introduction to economics through a literary lens. Drawing on writers such as James Joyce, George Eliot, Edith Wharton, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Elizabeth Gaskell, each chapter is framed around a quote from a classic text of English literature that helps tease out a key economic concept and demonstrate its broader relevance. While rigorous, the book is virtually free of technical language and aims to give a concise overview of all the main topics in contemporary economics – from supply and demand, pricing, labour markets, externalities, and game theory, to environmental and behavioural economics, fiscal policy and business cycles, modern approaches to macroeconomics and economic growth.Interweaving literary examples with easy-to-follow explanations and reflective tasks, the book takes an interdisciplinary approach to economics and literature that requires no prior knowledge in either camp, but which illuminates patterns of real-world behaviour observed by novelists and economists alike. This concise and accessible book will be a valuable tool for students embarking on introductory economics courses, economics modules in business studies, and interdisciplinary courses more broadly, as well as the general reader interested in building their knowledge of economics.

Britain and the Dhofar War in Oman, 1963–1976

Geraint Hughes

Springer International Publishing AG
2024
sidottu
This book explores Britain’s involvement in the Dhofar War of 1963-1976, focusing on the military aspects of this conflict in Southern Oman. It reveals how both the Conservative and Labour governments in office during this time provided military and security assistance to Oman’s rulers without parliamentary or press scrutiny. Based on archival material and witness accounts, as well as existing secondary source literature and memoirs, this study provides new insights into Britain’s clandestine embroilment in the Dhofar War, an often overlooked but historically significant intervention in the Middle East. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the complex and often controversial history of Britain’s involvement in Middle Eastern politics in the post-colonial period.
