The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Discussion of medieval European expansion tends to focus on expansion eastward and the crusades. The selection of studies reprinted here however focuses on the other end of Eurasia where dwelled the warlike Celts and beyond whom lay the north seas and the awesome Atlantic Ocean formidable obstacles to expansion westward. This volume looks first at the legacy of the Viking expansion which had briefly created a network stretching across the sea from Britain and Ireland to North America and had demonstrated that the Atlantic could be crossed and land reached. The next sections deal with the English expansion in the western and northern British Isles. In the 12th century the Normans began the process of subjugating the Celts thus inaugurating for the English an experience which was to prove crucial when colonizing the Americas in the 17th century. Medieval Ireland in particular served as a laboratory for the development of imperial institutions attitudes and ideologies that shaped the creation of the British Empire and served as a staging area for further expansion westward. | The North Atlantic Frontier of Medieval Europe Vikings and Celts

Wooden Church Architecture of the Russian North Regional Schools and Traditions (14th - 19th centuries)

Wooden Church Architecture of the Russian North Regional Schools and Traditions (14th - 19th centuries)

The book presents a broad panoramic overview of church architecture in the Russian North between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries. While it is inevitably overshadowed by the imperial splendour of the country’s capital cities this unique phenomenon is regarded as the most distinctive national expression of traditional Russian artistic culture and at the same time as a significant part of humanity’s worldwide architectural heritage. The chief intention of the book is to present the regionally specific features of the wooden churches of the Russian North which vary from area to area for local natural or historical reasons. This approach touches upon the very important questions of the typology and classification of the multiplicity of architectural forms. The regional view entails giving clear definitions of the ambiguous terms architectural school and tradition explaining the origins and shaping impulses for the different regional clusters of objects. Structurally the book presents a history of the development of wooden church architecture in the Russian North and then follows the key points of the mediaeval Russian expansion along the waterways from Novgorod into the North – he Svir’ River Lake Onego the town of Kargopol’ and the River Onega the White Sea the Rivers Dvina Pinega and Mezen’ – those areas that still retain the most splendid pieces of Russian regional wooden church architecture. The study is based on field research and provides an up-to-date multi-faceted view of Russian wooden architecture. | Wooden Church Architecture of the Russian North Regional Schools and Traditions (14th - 19th centuries)

Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

The extension of border controls beyond a country’s territory to regulate the flows of migrants before they arrive has become a popular and highly controversial policy practice. Today remote control policies are more visible complex and widespread than ever before raising various ethical political and legal issues for the governments promoting them. The book examines the externalization of migration control from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective focusing on ‘remote control’ initiatives in Europe and North America with contributions from the fields of politics sociology law geography anthropology and history. This book uses empirically rich analyses and compelling theoretical insights to trace the evolution of ‘remote control’ initiatives and assesses their impact and policy implications. It also explores competing theoretical models that might explain their emergence and diffusion. Individual chapters tackle some of the most puzzling questions underlying remote control policies such as the reasons why governments adopt these policies and what might be their impact on migrants and other actors involved. | Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

Estates Enterprise and Investment at the Dawn of the Industrial Revolution Estate Management and Accounting in the North-East of England

Estates Enterprise and Investment at the Dawn of the Industrial Revolution Estate Management and Accounting in the North-East of England

At the beginning of the eighteenth century the landed estate represented the largest and most clearly defined type of business organisation in existence in pre-industrial England. Given the need for capital wayleave rights and a ready supply of coal iron and other raw materials it is unsurprising that most historians tend to place Britain's formative industrial development on such estates where all these elements were available. Yet despite this consensus relatively little attention has been paid to the management and accountancy practices of these estates which have the potential to reveal much about the development of the industrial revolution. In this study the management practice on estates in the north-east of England (c. 1700-1780) is examined through the lens of the accounts and supporting documentation. Accounts encompassed every aspect of estate operations from the housekeeper's groceries to the lead and coal mines and thus provide direct evidence of the underlying management systems over a diverse range of activities. The information flows on estates serve as an excellent medium for testing hypotheses concerning the management of estates and the attitudes of their owners and stewards. Focusing on the surviving accounts of three leading gentry families Bowes Ridley and Cotesworth who came from contrasting social backgrounds two main issues are addressed. The first concerns the productivity of estates. Were estates managed efficiently as productive investments and more specifically to what extent can the landowners and their stewards legitimately be described as capitalists? The second related question asks in what ways did accounting aid managerial activity at this early stage of industrial development? These are the central questions this book addresses through examination of the nature and function of accounts within the organisation. By looking in detail at records from this crucial region during the period of transition to an industrial | Estates Enterprise and Investment at the Dawn of the Industrial Revolution Estate Management and Accounting in the North-East of England

Beyond the Networked City Infrastructure reconfigurations and urban change in the North and South

Beyond the Networked City Infrastructure reconfigurations and urban change in the North and South

Cities around the world are undergoing profound changes. In this global era we live in a world of rising knowledge economies digital technologies and awareness of environmental issues. The so-called modern infrastructural ideal of spatially and socially ubiquitous centrally-governed infrastructures providing exclusive homogeneous services over extensive areas has been the standard of reference for the provision of basic essential services such as water and energy supply. This book argues that after decades of undisputed domination this ideal is being increasingly questioned and that the network ideology that supports it may be waning. In order to begin exploring the highly diverse fluid and unstable landscapes emerging beyond the networked city this book identifies dynamics through which a ‘break’ with previous configurations has been operated and new brittle zones of socio-technical controversy through which urban infrastructure (and its wider meaning) are being negotiated and fought over. It uncovers across a diverse set of urban contexts new ways in which processes of urbanization and infrastructure production are being combined with crucial sociopolitical implications: through shifting political economies of infrastructure which rework resource distribution and value creation; through new infrastructural spaces and territorialities which rebundle socio-technical systems for particular interests and claims; and through changing offsets between individual and collective appropriation experience and mobilization of infrastructure. With contributions from leading authorities in the field and drawing on theoretical advances and original empirical material this book is a major contribution to an ongoing infrastructural turn in urban studies and will be of interest to all those concerned by the diverse forms and contested outcomes of contemporary urban change across North and South. | Beyond the Networked City Infrastructure reconfigurations and urban change in the North and South

Urban Redevelopment A North American Reader

Urban Redevelopment A North American Reader

Urban redevelopment plays a major part in the growth strategy of the modern city and the goal of this book is to examine the various aspects of redevelopment its principles and practices in the North American context. Urban Redevelopment: A North American Reader seeks to shed light on the practice by looking at both its failures and successes ideas that seemed to work in specific circumstances but not in others. The book aims to provide guidance to academics practitioners and professionals on how when where and why specific approaches worked and when they didn’t. While one has to deal with each case specifically it is the interactions that are key. The contributors offer insight into how urban design affects behavior how finance drives architectural choices how social equity interacts with economic development how demographical diversity drives cities’ growth how politics determine land use decisions how management deals with market choices and how there are multiple influences and impacts of every decision. The book moves from the history of urban redevelopment The City Beautiful movement grand concourses and plazas through urban renewal superblocks and downtown pedestrian malls to today’s place-making: transit-oriented design street quieting new urbanism publicly accessible softer waterfront design funky small urban spaces and public-private megaprojects. This history also moves from grand masters such as Baron Haussmann and Robert Moses through community participation to stakeholder involvement to creative local leadership. The increased importance of sustainability high-energy performance resilience and both pre- and post-catastrophe planning are also discussed in detail. Cities are acts of man not nature; every street and building represents decisions made by people. Many of today’s best recognized urban theorists look for great forces; economic trends technological shifts political movements and try to analyze how they impact cities. One does not have to be a subscriber to the great man theory of history to see that in urban redevelopment successful project champions use or sometimes overcome overall trends using the tools and resources available to rebuild their community. This book is about how these projects are brought together each somewhat differently by the people who make them happen. | Urban Redevelopment A North American Reader

Ritual and Music of North China Volume 2: Shaanbei

Ritual and Music of North China Volume 2: Shaanbei

This second volume of Stephen Jones' work on ritual and musical life in north China again with accompanying downloadable resources gives an impression of music-making in daily life in the poor mountainous region of Shaanbei northwest China. It conveys some of the diverse musical activities there around 2000 from the barrage of pop music blaring from speakers in the bustling county-towns to the life-cycle and calendrical ceremonies of poor mountain villages. Based on the practice of grass-roots music-making in daily life not merely on official images the main theme is the painful maintenance of ritual and its music under Maoism its revival with the market reforms of the 1980s and its modification under the assaults of TV pop music and migration since the 1990s. The text is in four parts. Part One gives background to the area and music-making in society. Parts Two and Three discuss the lives of bards and shawm bands respectively describing modifications in their ceremonial activities through the twentieth century. Part Four acclimatizes us to the modern world with glimpses of various types of musical life in Yulin city the regional capital illustrating the contrast with the surrounding countryside. The 44-minute downloadable resources with its informative commentary is intended both to illuminate the text and to stand on its own. It shows bards performing at a temple fair and to bless a family in distress and shawm bands performing at a wedding at funerals and a shop opening - including their pop repertory with the 'big band'. Also featuring as part of these events are opera troupes geomancers and performing beggars; by contrast the film shows a glimpse of the official image of Shaanbei culture as presented by a state ensemble in the regional capital.

The Roots of Religion Exploring the Cognitive Science of Religion

The Roots of Religion Exploring the Cognitive Science of Religion

The cognitive science of religion is a new discipline that looks at the roots of religious belief in the cognitive architecture of the human mind. The Roots of Religion deals with the philosophical and theological implications of the cognitive science of religion which grounds religious belief in human cognitive structures: religious belief is ’natural’ in a way that even scientific thought is not. Does this new discipline support religious belief undermine it or is it despite many claims perhaps eventually neutral? This subject is of immense importance particularly given the rise of the ’new atheism’. Philosophers and theologians from North America UK and Australia explore the alleged conflict between truth claims and examine the roots of religion in human nature. Is it less ’natural’ to be an atheist than to believe in God or gods? On the other hand if we can explain theism psychologically have we explained it away. Can it still claim any truth? This book debates these and related issues. | The Roots of Religion Exploring the Cognitive Science of Religion

The American Civil War in the Shaping of British Democracy

The American Civil War in the Shaping of British Democracy

When the American Civil War broke out in 1861 a central question for British intellectuals was whether or not the American conflict was proof of the viability of democracy as a foundation for modern governance. The lessons of the American Civil War for Britain would remain a focal point in the debate on democracy throughout the war up to the suffrage reform of 1867 and after. Brent E. Kinser considers four figures connected by Woodrow Wilson's concept of the Literary Politician a person who while possessing a profound knowledge of politics combined with an equally acute literary ability to express that knowledge escapes the practical drudgeries of policy making. Kinser argues that the animosity of Thomas Carlyle towards democracy the rhetorical strategy of Anthony Trollope's North America the centrality of the American war in Walter Bagehot's vision of British governance and the political philosophy of John Stuart Mill illustrate the American conflict's vital presence in the debates leading up to the 1867 reform a legislative event that helped to secure democracy's place in the British political system. | The American Civil War in the Shaping of British Democracy

The Experimental City

The Experimental City

This book explores how the concept or urban experimentation is being used to reshape practices of knowledge production in urban debates about resilience climate change governance and socio-technical transitions. With contributions from leading scholars and case studies from the Global North and South from small- to large-scale cities this book suggests that urban experiments offer novel modes of engagement governance and politics that both challenge and complement conventional strategies. The book is organized around three cross-cutting themes. Part I explores the logics of urban experimentation different approaches and how and why they are deployed. Part II considers how experiments are being staged within cities by whom and with what effects. Part III examines how entire cities or groups of cities are constructed as experiments. This book develops a deeper and more socially and politically nuanced understanding of how urban experiments shape cities and drive wider changes in society providing a framework to examine the phenomenon of urban experimentation in conceptual and empirical detail. | The Experimental City

Nationalising the Crusades Engaging the Crusades Volume Eight

Nationalising the Crusades Engaging the Crusades Volume Eight

Engaging the Crusades is a series of concise volumes (up to 50 000 words) which offer initial windows into the ways in which the crusades have been used in the last two centuries demonstrating that the memory of the crusades is an important and emerging subject. Together these studies suggest that the memory of the crusades in the modern period is a productive exciting and much needed area of investigation. Despite their ‘intrinsic internationalism’ the crusades have long been conscripted for nationalist ends. The last decade has seen an upsurge in usage of the crusades to justify and inspire violence played out within and across national contexts. This volume furthers study of nationalist uses of the crusades and crusading by broadening the focus of study beyond north-western Europe and by showcasing different approaches to illustrate how the memory of the crusades has been employed within and between nations. This takes the form of tightly focused case studies and broader overviews covering the ambivalent role of foreign crusaders in Portuguese commemorations of the battle of Lisbon in 1947 Russian holy war rhetoric and theology Zionist perceptions of the crusader castle of ‘Athlit the role of individuals as ‘cultural brokers’ of crusader heritage amidst European imperial competition and how crusading as a part of European medievalism was received and reflected in Japan in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book will be of interest to scholars and students considering national identity medievalism and religious violence and to those with specific interest in the contexts of each chapter. | Nationalising the Crusades Engaging the Crusades Volume Eight

NATO and the Crisis in the International Order The Atlantic Alliance and Its Enemies

NATO and the Crisis in the International Order The Atlantic Alliance and Its Enemies

The main objectives of this book are to analyse the risks and dangers NATO faces in the current strategic environment and to discuss how the alliance can readjust to those challenges. How can NATO adapt to the dangerous combination of a revisionist Russia a reluctant United States and a Europe in crisis? NATO’s relevance and ability to survive have been challenged many times before and it has not only survived but also has proven highly adaptable to change. This has been good for Western cohesion and for the consolidation of the liberal-democratic rules-based world order. The main argument of this book is that NATO can overcome this latest set of challenges as well and retain its central role as a cornerstone of the European and transatlantic security order. NATO is different from other alliances because its members share not only interests but values as well codified in the preamble of the North Atlantic Treaty as allied support for democracy individual liberty and the rule of law. The greatest enemy of the alliance is the forces that challenge the common norms and values of NATO’s member states and – in a larger perspective – the liberal-democratic rules-based world order and Western civilisation itself. The book makes an original contribution to the existing literature on NATO and transatlantic relations and discusses the latest developments within NATO since the Trump administration took office. The book will be of much interest to students of NATO geopolitics security studies and International Relations in general. | NATO and the Crisis in the International Order The Atlantic Alliance and Its Enemies

The Production of Heritage The Politicisation of Architectural Conservation

The Production of Heritage The Politicisation of Architectural Conservation

In this important book the authors unpack the theoretical and practical issues around the development of heritage sites critically dissecting key conservation benchmarks such as the ICOMOS guidelines BS 7913 and the RIBA Conservation Plan of Work to reveal the mechanics of heritage guidance its advantages and conceptual limitations. Underpinned by an active understanding of the conservation philosophy of William Morris the book presents five case studies from the UK and North and South America that speak about different facets of heritage value such as urban identity commodification authenticity materiality and heritage as an intellectual and ethical framework. Heritage is never neutral; its definition is privileged yet its influence is political. Art landscape and archaeology all offer examples of how the operational ideas of adjacent disciplines can influence an integrated idea of heritage conservation and how this is communicated in order to determine significance and share in its custodianship. This book provides insights into how to identify and challenge these limitations expanding inclusion by describing tactics for changing how people can relate to and build on the past. Clearly written for all levels of readership within the conservation professions and community custodians of heritage buildings and places the book provides strategies and tactics for understanding the heritage significance of materials their fabrication detail and use. The narratives that historic fabric contains can help shape the meaningful involvement of local people providing a roadmap for those navigating the double-bind of using the past to underpin the future. | The Production of Heritage The Politicisation of Architectural Conservation

The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

The Lively Audience (1986) studies television from the children’s own point of view. Contrary to most prevailing opinion it contends that television has much to teach children and that their relationship with the medium is not one of passive dependency after all. Research shows that what children gain from television depends very much on the child’s age and social experience and that children ‘see’ television differently from adults. This book examines this issue and gives us a different understanding of the child audience and the impact of their television viewing. | The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou

In the second of a three-volume work Seta B. Dadoyan explores the Armenian condition from the 970s to the end of the fourteenth century. This period marked the gradual loss of semi-autonomy on the traditional mainland and the rise of Armenian power of diverging patterns in southeastern Asia Minor north Syria Cilicia and Egypt. Dadoyan's premise is that if Armenians and Armenia have always been located in the Middle East and the Islamic world then their history is also a natural part of that region and its peoples. She observes that the Armenian experience has been too complicated to be defined by simplistic constructs centered on the idea of a heroic yet victimized nation. She notes that a certain politics of historical writing supported by a culture of authority has focused sharply on episodes and in particular on the genocide. For her sources Dadoyan has used all available and relevant (primary and secondary) Armenian sources as well as primary Arab texts and sources. This book will stimulate re-evaluation of the period and re-conceptualizing Armenian and Middle Eastern histories. | The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou

The Routledge Companion to Design Studies

The Routledge Companion to Design Studies

Since the 1990s in response to dramatic transformations in the worlds of technology and the economy design – a once relatively definable discipline complete with a set of subdisciplines – has become unrecognizable. Consequently design scholars have begun to address new issues themes and sub-disciplines such as: sustainable design design for well-being empathic design design activism design anthropology and many more. The Routledge Companion to Design Studies charts this new expanded spectrum and embraces the wide range of scholarship relating to design – theoretical practice-related and historical – that has emerged over the past four decades. Comprising forty-three newly commissioned chapters the Companion is organized into the following six sections: Defining design: discipline process Defining design: objects spaces Designing identities: gender sexuality age nation Designing society: empathy responsibility consumption the everyday Design and politics: activism intervention regulation Designing the world: globalization transnationalism translation. Contributors include both established and emerging scholars and the chapters offer an international scope covering work emanating from and relating to design in the United Kingdom mainland Europe North America Asia Australasia and Africa. This comprehensive collection makes an original and significant contribution to the field of Design Studies.

Neutrality and Neutralism in the Global Cold War Between or Within the Blocs?

This book sheds new light on the foreign policies roles and positions of neutral states and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the global Cold War. The volume places the neutral states and the NAM in the context of the Cold War and demonstrates the links between the East the West and the so-called Third World. In doing so this collection provides readers an alternative way of exploring the evolution and impact of the Cold War on North-South connections that challenges traditional notions of the post-1945 history of international relations. The various contributions are framed against the backdrop of the evolution of the Cold War international system and the decolonization process in the Southern hemisphere. By juxtaposing the policies of European neutrals and countries of the NAM this book offers new perspectives on the evolution of the Cold War. With the links between these two groups of countries receiving very little attention in Cold War scholarship the volume thus offers a window into a hitherto neglected perspective on the Cold War. Via a series of case studies the chapters here present new viewpoints on the evolution of the global Cold War through the exploration of the ensuing internal and (mainly) external policy choices of these nations. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War Studies international history foreign policy security studies and IR in general. | Neutrality and Neutralism in the Global Cold War Between or Within the Blocs?

Setting the Scene Perspectives on Twentieth-Century Theatre Architecture

Setting the Scene Perspectives on Twentieth-Century Theatre Architecture

During the twentieth century an increasingly diverse range of buildings and spaces was used for theatre. Theatre architecture was re-formed by new approaches to staging and performance while theatre was often thought to have a reforming role in society. Innovation was accompanied by the revival and reinterpretation of older ideas. The contributors to this volume explore these ideas in a variety of contexts from detailed discussions of key architects’ work (including Denys Lasdun Peter Moro Cedric Price and Heinrich Tessenow) to broader surveys of theatre in West Germany and Japan. Other contributions examine the Malm¶ Stadsteater ’ideal’ theatres in post-war North America ’found space’ in 1960s New York and Postmodernity in 1980s East Germany. Together these essays shed new light on this complex building type and also contribute to the wider architectural history of the twentieth century. | Setting the Scene Perspectives on Twentieth-Century Theatre Architecture
