The David Johnson Collection of Cypriot Antiquities

The David Johnson Collection of Cypriot Antiquities

David Johnson

Paul Holberton Publishing Ltd
2026
pokkari
This catalogue highlights one of the most significant private collections of Cypriot antiquities in the world. This handsome catalogue accompanies the opening of a new gallery at the Kykkos Monastery Museum, created to house the David Johnson Collection of Cypriot antiquities. Until it's donated to the museum, the David Johnson Collection was among the most significant private collections of Cypriot antiquities in the world. The Johnson Collection spans some 2,500 years, from the Middle Chalcolithic period to the beginning of the Classical era (c. 480 BC), with a particular strength in Early and Middle Bronze Age material. Comprising mainly pottery, it also includes bronze and stone artifacts, as well as some early coinage. Most pieces originate from tomb contexts and, like much Cypriot material in circulation, were likely removed through illicit excavation. Cyprus remains one of the most heavily looted archaeological landscapes in the world. The repatriation of the Johnson Collection represents a small but meaningful act of restitution – ensuring the collection’s integrity while returning it to its cultural home. With detailed entries and beautiful photography of every object, this catalogue serves as a permanent record of the collection.

Shakespeare and South Africa

Shakespeare and South Africa

David Johnson

Clarendon Press
1996
sidottu
Shakespeare and South Africa is a lively and topical study of the teaching and criticism of Shakespeare in South Africa from the early nineteenth century to the present day, covering a number of key historical moments in the interpretation of Shakespeare. David Johnson's work makes a valuable contribution to the well-established debate focused on the `neo-colonial' use of `English Literature' and to the more recent interest in the conditions of cultural assimilation. Johnson's wide range of source materials - including Cape Department of Eduacation examination papers and exam reports, as well as newspaper articles and essays - provides detailed and original research into the formualtion of a literary education policy in South Africa. The perceptive insights into changes in thinking about pedagogic and cultural issues in the South African colonial 'periphery' and into the values associated with those changes makes for fascinating reading, and a significant resource for South African cultural studies.

Social Welfare

Social Welfare

David Johnson

Pearson
2015
nidottu
Acknowledged as the most comprehensive, easy-to-read introduction to social welfare policy available, Social Welfare: Politics and Public Policy, 8/e, emphasizes the current political aspects of policy making and major social welfare programs, including public assistance, Social Security, disability, health insurance, child welfare, and much more. Social Welfare does more than describe the major social welfare policies and programs; it also tackles the conflict and controversies involved in the processes and outcomes of policy making. It contrasts rational and political approaches to policy making, policy analysis, policy implementation, and policy evaluation. The authors present conflicting perspectives, encouraging readers to think critically, to debate, and to consider their own views on issues. KEY TOPICS: Core policy topics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, income and wealth inequality, poverty, health insurance, immigration, and disability rights are addressed. Both historical and current information is covered, including issues surrounding incidents such as the police shooting and subsequent death of an African American teen in Ferguson, MO, and Supreme Court decisions on controversial topics such as healthcare, gay rights, and immigration. Social Welfare compares the U.S. to other countries on social policy topics such as poverty, child and family policy, and healthcare. MARKET: Social Welfare has been used by tens of thousands of policy students and hundreds of professors in social work, government/political science, sociology, and public affairs departments and schools.

Spectacle and Sacrifice

Spectacle and Sacrifice

David Johnson

Harvard University, Asia Center
2010
sidottu
This book is about the ritual world of a group of rural settlements in Shanxi province in pre-1949 North China. Temple festivals, with their giant processions, elaborate rituals, and operas, were the most important influence on the symbolic universe of ordinary villagers and demonstrate their remarkable capacity for religious and artistic creation. The great festivals described in this book were their supreme collective achievements and were carried out virtually without assistance from local officials or educated elites, clerical or lay.Chinese culture was a performance culture, and ritual was the highest form of performance. Village ritual life everywhere in pre-revolutionary China was complex, conservative, and extraordinarily diverse. Festivals and their associated rituals and operas provided the emotional and intellectual materials out of which ordinary people constructed their ideas about the world of men and the realm of the gods. It is, David Johnson argues, impossible to form an adequate idea of traditional Chinese society without a thorough understanding of village ritual. Newly discovered liturgical manuscripts allow him to reconstruct North Chinese temple festivals in unprecedented detail and prove that they are sharply different from the Daoist- and Buddhist-based communal rituals of South China.

Linear Analysis of Skeletal Structures

Linear Analysis of Skeletal Structures

David Johnson

Emerald Publishing Limited
2004
nidottu
Linear Analysis of Skeletal Structures meets the demands of a typical prominent structural engineering educator who aims to: "teach students how to model, how to use computer packages in real contexts, to validate models, verify results and carry out parameter studies. Hand analysis is now only for very simple problems and for back-of-envelope checks". The checks referred to are usually statically based and it is therefore presumed that the reader has a firm background in statics. This unique book principally: tackles statically indeterminate structuresreplaces traditional hand analysis teaching of indeterminate structures by a workbook format approach based on qualitative and quantitative (computer analysis) studiesprovides comprehensive coverage of the behavior of skeletal structures - beams, plane trusses arches, plane frames, space trusses, grids and space framesuses case studies to provide experience of, using computer packages in real contexts; worksheets to develop qualitative understanding; and computer based problems to carry out parameter studiesemphasises computer modeling and the validation of computer models and solutions. A workbook approach is used with individual chapters covering fundamentals, beams, plane trusses, arches, plane frames, space trusses, grids, and space frames. Each chapter describes the fundamental behavior of a particular structural form, which is supplemented by qualitative examples and problems. The book will make essential reading for all levels of structural, civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers. The book will be an invaluable aid for all students of structural and civil engineering, from the later years of an undergraduate course through to postgraduate work and the early stages of graduate training within the field.

Imagining the Cape Colony

Imagining the Cape Colony

David Johnson

Edinburgh University Press
2011
sidottu
Examines literatures and histories of the Cape in relation to postcolonial debates about nationalism. How the Cape Colony was imagined as a political community is examined by considering a variety of writers, from major European literati and intellectuals (Camoes, Southey, Rousseau, Adam Smith), to well-known travel writers like Francois Levaillant and Lady Anne Barnard, to figures on the margins of colonial histories, like settler rebels, slaves, and early African nationalists. Complementing the analyses of these primary texts are discussions of the many subsequent literary works and histories of the Cape Colony. These diverse writings are discussed first in relation to current debates in postcolonial studies about settler nationalism, anti-colonial resistance, and the imprint of eighteenth-century colonial histories on contemporary neo-colonial politics. Secondly, the project of imagining the post-apartheid South African nation functions as a critical lens for reading the eighteenth-century history of the Cape Colony, with the extensive commentaries on literature and history associated with the Thabo Mbeki presidencies given particular attention. Key Features * Major European literary figures and philosophers read in the context of colonial history * Materialist/historicist approach to postcolonial literature * Critical engagement with dominant theories of colonial nationalism

The Man Who Didn't Shoot Hitler

The Man Who Didn't Shoot Hitler

David Johnson

The History Press Ltd
2014
nidottu
This is the tale of two men.The first is Henry Tandey, an ordinary man later deemed to be ‘a hero of the old berserk type’, born and brought up in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, who displayed extraordinary courage to emerge from the First World War as the most decorated British private to survive. The second is Adolf Hitler, who was highly decorated in his service to Germany in the First World War and went on to become one of the most infamous dictators in history, later bringing the world to the brink of destruction during the Second World War. It seems unlikely that their fates should collide. Yet in 1938 Hitler named Tandey as the soldier who spared his life on 28 September 1918 in the aftermath of the Battle of Marcoing – an assertion that came as a surprise to Tandey himself. The Man Who Didn’t Shoot Hitler tells the story of Tandey’s and Hitler’s Great War, the moment when their lives became intertwined – if in fact they did – and how Tandey lived with the stigma of being known not for his chestful of medals for gallantry in service of King and Country, but as the man who let Hitler live.

Executed at Dawn

Executed at Dawn

David Johnson

The History Press Ltd
2019
nidottu
Much has been written about the 302 British and Commonwealth soldiers who were executed for military offences during the First World War, but there is usually only a passing reference to those who took part – the members of the firing squad, the officer in charge, the medical officer and the padre. What are their stories? Through extensive research, David Johnson explores the controversial story of the men forced to shoot their fellow Tommies, examining how they were selected; how they were treated before, during, and after the executions; and why there were so many procedural variations in the way that the executions were conducted.
