The Miners: One Union One Industry A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46

The Miners: One Union One Industry A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46

First published in 1979 The Miners: A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46 describes the events and factors that led to the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1946. The World War had a creative as well as a destructive effect on the industry; it compressed fundamental changes into seven short years. By the end of the war the federated trade unions had succeeded in bringing about the unification of their industry; and the various county district and craft associations were themselves also unified in one single national body. Two rival plans emerged during 1945: a coal-owners’ plan in conjunction with an ‘experts’ report’ approved by Churchill and his Caretaker Cabinet and Labour’s ‘plan for the coal industry’ which came into force in 1946 as the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act. Anew epoch in management had begun with a National Coal Board new industrial relations and a new National Union of Mineworkers. This book will be of interest to students of history sociology economics and political science. | The Miners: One Union One Industry A History of the National Union of Mineworkers 1939-46

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The Origins Of The Great Leap Forward The Case Of One Chinese Province

The Origins Of The Great Leap Forward The Case Of One Chinese Province

The first major study of the Great Leap Forward this seminal volume has now been translated into English for a wider audience. Like no other work it suggests compelling political and social answers to questions that have long plagued scholars: How could a party with such a successful rural base launch a movement so divorced from reality– especially in the countryside? Why was the movement pressed to the point of social chaos and economic collapse giving rise to arguably the greatest famine in human history? Utilizing a wealth of primary material Jean-Luc Domenach focuses on the central China province of Henan which emerged as a national model of the Great Leap and was one of the most devastated by its failure. The author's documentary sources enable him to illuminate the development of provincial and local political life as well as to gauge popular reactions to the dictates of the center. Domenach presents a lucid analysis of the setbacks in agriculture in 1956 and 1957 the rise of economic corruption and the launch of the CCP rectification campaign in 1957. Despite the enormous impact of the Great Leap on Chinese politics and economics in the decades that followed it has proven immensely difficult to research. Domenach's contribution thus stands out as an original and important work on the period. | The Origins Of The Great Leap Forward The Case Of One Chinese Province

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

This edited volume examines the complex entanglements of human animal and environmental health. It assembles leading scholars from the humanities social sciences natural sciences and medicine to explore existing One Health approaches and to envision a mode of health that is both more-than-human and also more sensitive to and explicit about colonial and neocolonial legacies—urging the decolonization of One Health. While acknowledging the importance of One Health the volume at the same time critically examines its roots highlighting the structural biases and power dynamics still at play in this global health regime. The volume is distinctive in its geographic breadth. It travels from Inuit sled dogs in the Arctic to rock hyraxes in Jerusalem from black-faced spoonbills in Taiwan to street dogs in India from spittle-bugs on Mallorca’s almond trees to jellyfish management at sea and from rabies in sub-Saharan Africa to massive culling practices in South Korea. Together the contributors call for One Health to move toward a more transparent plural and just perception of health that takes seriously the role of more-than-humans and of nonscientific knowledges pointing to ways in which One Health can—and should—be decolonized. This volume will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the medical humanities posthumanities environmental humanities science and technology studies animal studies multispecies ethnography anthrozoology and critical public health.

Informing Cultural Policy The Information and Research Infrastructure

Informing Cultural Policy The Information and Research Infrastructure

In any policy arena the crafting of effective policy depends on the quality of the information infrastructure that is available to the participants in that arena. Such an information infrastructure is designed developed and managed as a critical element in policy formulation and implementation. While various attempts have been made to map the extent of the existing cultural policy information infrastructure in the United States no structured attempt has been made to conduct a cross-national analysis intended to draw on the more highly developed models already in operation elsewhere. A cross-national comparative look provides valuable information on how this infrastructure has evolved on what has succeeded and what has had less success on what is sustainable and what is not and on how the range of interests of the various individuals and institutions involved in the cultural policy arena can best be accommodated through careful design of the information infrastructure. In Informing Cultural Policy international cultural policy scholar and researcher J. Mark Schuster relates the findings of a study that took him from North America to Europe to gain understanding of the cultural policy information infrastructure in place abroad. His findings are structured into a taxonomy that organizes the array of research and information models operating throughout the world into a logical framework for understanding how the myriad cultural agencies collect analyze and disseminate cultural policy data. Schuster discusses private- and public-sector models including research divisions of government cultural funding agencies national statistics agencies independent nonprofit research institutes government-designated university-based research centers private consulting firms cultural observatories non-institutional networks research programs and publications. For each case study undertaken the author provides the Internet address names and information for key contacts and background documents consulted. | Informing Cultural Policy The Information and Research Infrastructure

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

This compelling new book asks: How can American education policy be consistent with democratic ideals? Robust democracy is the combination of participation self-rule equality understanding and inclusion but these norms can produce contradictory policy. Local control in education policy can undermine educational equality. Participation in teachers unions can improve working conditions but thwart self-rule by local taxpayers. The Democratic Dilemma of American Education draws on contemporary research in political science and education policy to offer remarkably balanced insights into these challenging issues. Expertly navigating through local state and federal layers of education policy Arnold Shober examines contemporary controversies over education governance teachers unions and collective bargaining school funding school choice academic accountability and desegregation. Shober describes the inherent practical dilemmas of current policy and the difficulties policymakers face in overcoming them to produce lasting educational reform in a democratic federal system of government. Timely engaging and accessible this is the ideal resource for courses in public policy as well as education and politics. | The Democratic Dilemma of American Education Out of Many One?

Auguste Comte and Positivism The Essential Writings

Auguste Comte and Positivism The Essential Writings

Although Auguste Comte is conventionally acknowledged as one of the founders of sociology and as a key representative of positivism few new editions of his writings have been published in the English language in this century. He has become virtually dissociated from the history of modern positivism and the most recent debates about it. Gertrud Lenzer maintains that the work of Comte is for better or for worse essential to an understanding of the modern period of positivism. This collection provides new access to the work of Comte and gives practitioners of various disciplines the possibility of reassessing concepts that were first introduced in Comte's writings. Today much of the ordinary business of academic disciplines is conducted under the assumption that the realm of science is essentially separate from the realms of politics and science. A close reading of Comte will reveal how deeply such current ideas and theories were originally embedded in a particular political context. One of his central methodological principles was that the theory of society had to be removed from the arena of political practice precisely in order to control that practice by means of these same sciences. It is in Comte's work that the reader will be able to observe how the forces of social and political reaction began to be powerfully organized to combat the critical forces in its own and later eras. Auguste Comte and Positivism will be of importance to the work of philosophers sociologists political theorists and historians. | Auguste Comte and Positivism The Essential Writings

The Dollfuss/Schuschnigg Era in Austria A Reassessment

The Dollfuss/Schuschnigg Era in Austria A Reassessment

The years of Chancellors Dollfuss and Schuschnigg's authoritarian governments (1933/34-1938) have been denounced as Austrofascism from the left or defended as a Christian corporate state (Stondestaat) from the right. During this period Austria was in a desperate struggle to maintain its national independence vis-o-vis Hitler's Germany a struggle that ultimately failed. In the end the Nazis invaded and annexed Austria (Anschluss). Volume 11 of the Contemporary Austrian Studies series stays away from these heated historiographical debates and looks at economic domestic and international politics sine ira et studio. Timothy Kirk opens with an assessment of Austrofascism in light of recent discourse on interwar European fascism. Three scholars from the Economics University of Vienna analyze the macroeconomic climate of the 1930s: Hansjrg Klausinger the Vienna School's theoretical contributions to end the Great Depression; Gerhard Senft the economic policies of the Stondestaat; and Peter Berger the financial aid from the League of Nations. Jens Wessels delves into the microeconomic arena and presents case studies of leading Austrian businesses and their performance during the depression. Jim Miller looks at Dollfuss the agrarian reformer. Alexander Lassner and Erwin Schmidl deal with the context of the international arena and Austria's desperate search for protection against Nazi Anschluss-pressure and military preparedness against foreign aggression. In a comparativist essay Megan Greene compares the policies of Austria's Haider and Italy's Berlusconi and recent EU responses to threats from the Right. The FORUM looks at various recent historical commissions in Austria dealing with Holocaust-era assets and their efforts to provide restitution to victims of Nazism. Two review essays by Evan Burr Bukey and Hermann Freudenberger survey recent scholarly literature on Austria(ns) during World War II. This addition to the Contemporary Austrian Studies series will be welcomed by political scientists historians and scholars with a strong interest in European affairs. | The Dollfuss/Schuschnigg Era in Austria A Reassessment

A History of the Muslim World to 1405 The Making of a Civilization

A History of the Muslim World to 1405 The Making of a Civilization

Muslims first appeared in the early seventh century as members of a persecuted religious movement in a sun-baked town in Arabia. Within a century their descendants were ruling a vast territory that extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indus River valley in modern Pakistan. This region became the arena for a new cultural experiment in which Muslim scholars and creative artists synthesized and reworked the legacy of Rome Greece Iran and India into a new civilization. A History of the Muslim World to 1405 traces the development of this civilization from the career of the Prophet Muhammad to the death of the Mongol emperor Timur Lang. Coverage includes the unification of the Dar a1-Islam (the territory ruled by Muslims) the fragmentation into various religious and political groups including the Shi'ite and Sunni and the series of catastrophes in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that threatened to destroy the civilization. Features: Balanced coverage of the Muslim world encompassing the region from the Iberian Peninsula to South Asia. Detailed accounts of all cultures including major Shi'ite groups and the Sunni community. Primary sources. Numerous maps and photographs featuring a special four-color art insert.

The New History

The New History

The notion of 'history' has always been one strenuously debated by both academics and the wider population. This deeply provocative re-thinking of our engagement with the past by one of the world's leading post-modern historians takes that debate one step further. Alun Munslow re-assesses history in the light of post-modernism and other intellectual challenges which have questioned the primacy of the modernist epistemology of empiricism. In an original and stimulating vision of history that will intrigue all those seriously interested in the subject Munslow argues that history is not only about the sources but a literary construction. Munslow concludes that history as a cultural narrative about the past can never tell us what the past really means. This far reaching conclusion is based on the radical idea that the content of history is defined as much by the nature of the language used to represent and interpret that content as it is by research into the sources. This suggests that history does not produce the most likely meaning of the past but rather can only generate alternative meanings. The lead volume in a major new series on historical thinking and practice this is an accessible yet absorbing study that breaks new ground in discussing the stage history is at now and perhaps most engagingly the direction it will take in the future. | The New History

The Birth of the Clinic

The Birth of the Clinic

In this remarkable book Michel Foucault one of the most influential thinkers of recent times calls us to look critically at specific historical events in order to uncover new layers of significance. In doing so he challenges our assumptions not only about history but also about the nature of language and reason even of truth. The scope of such an undertaking is vast but by means of his uniquely engaging narrative style Foucault‘s penetrating gaze is skilfully able to confront our own. After reading his words our perceptions are never quite the same again. | The Birth of the Clinic

The Americans

The Americans

The Americans by Hugo Munsterberg stands alongside Alexis de Tocqueville's American Democracy as one of the great works on the New World written by a scholar deeply familiar with the Old World. When originally published it gave the German public a sense of American life and was described as a book which deals in a detailed way with the political economic intellectual and social aspects of American culture. Munsterberg a world-renowned psychologist at the turn of the twentieth century noted that its purpose is to interpret systematically the democratic ideals of America. The primary aim of The Americans is to study the people and America's inner tendencies. It offers a philosophy of Americanism the ideology of a people writ whole. Munsterberg's sense of the spirit of a people rather than facts about the people is revealed in his four cardinal chapters: Self-Direction Self-Realization Self-Perfection and Self-Assertion. While he covers the economic premises of the free market and the politics of party affairs he considers these the least important. Instead it is the lasting forces and tendencies of American life rather than problems of the day that occupy the author. This focus was shared by German readers for whom the book was conceived and for those in the United States who read the book in English. The dynamic of strong basic tendencies of democratic forces and lesser but significant aristocratic tendencies underwrites the strains and tensions in American society. It also defines the special nature of a book written more than one hundred years ago that retains its lively sense of purpose and deep insight into American life. One could well say that this book is required reading in this day and age for Americans and Europeans alike. This is a neglected masterpiece.
