Hardy and His Readers - T. Wright - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Hardy and His Readers - T. Wright - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This study examines Hardy''s prolonged struggle with his contemporary readers, whose bourgeois values he despised. Initially content to compromise, to provide them with congenial entertainment, Hardy resorted at first to strategies of subversion, smuggling material past his editors and finally to outspoken attack. Professor T. R. Wright attempts to balance historical research into the response of ''actual'' readers and the material conditions of publishing with literary-critical analysis of the ''implied'' reader inscribed in the novels themselves.

Booker T. Washington and the Struggle against White Supremacy - D. Jackson - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Booker T. Washington and the Struggle against White Supremacy - D. Jackson - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book narrates and analyzes the southern tours by Booker T. Washington and his associates in 1908-1912. The author provides analysis of the importance of these tours in early 20th-century race relations, and relates them to Washington''s racial philosophy and its impact on the various parts of black society. Instead of focusing on how Washington struggled against W.E.B. DuBois in a quest for leadership, this study emphasizes how he fought to undermine white supremacy.

Writing Celebrity - T. Galow - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Writing Celebrity is divided into three major sections. The first part traces the rise of a national celebrity culture in the United States and examines the impact that this culture had on "literary" writing in the decades before World War II. The second two sections of the book demonstrate the relevance of celebrity for literary scholarship by re-evaluating the careers of two major American authors, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein.

Emotional Impact - T. Hope - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Emotional Impact - T. Hope - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book highlights a hitherto neglected element of leadership - personality. There are many accounts by, or about, leaders who have guided organisations but they often say little about how they felt as a person or how their charisma and passion infected their colleagues. Based around candid in-depth interviews with prominent leaders, including Ian MacLaurin of Tesco, Richard Ide of Volkswagen and Tim Waterstone, the authors explore the emotional impact of being a leader.

Global Change - T. Inoguchi - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Global Change - T. Inoguchi - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines global change from a dialectical perspective. Looking at global change in terms of unipolarisation in international security, globalisation in the world economy, and democratisation in global governance, the volume provides a refreshingly Japanese angle on addressing complex interplays between the social forces underlying these themes. The book is indispensable reading for undergraduate and graduate students or IR theory, international security, international political economy, and global governance, as well as American and Japanese foreign policy.

State Power and Democracy - Andrew Kolin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

State Power and Democracy - Andrew Kolin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Torture. Secret prisons. Wiretaps on Americans. Even with a new president in the White House, daily headlines contain disturbing revelations about how the United States conducts itself in the "war on terror." While other books have analyzed specific, shocking issues about the war on terror, there is a surprising disconnect in them: they don''t connect the actions of the George W. Bush administration to those of previous administrations. State Power and Democracy is the first to do that. It shows that the Bush police state didn''t commence when Bush was inaugurated. It proves, instead, that the seeds of an American police state can be traced all the way back to the founding of the republic.

Transatlantic Anti-Catholicism - T. Verhoeven - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Transatlantic Anti-Catholicism - T. Verhoeven - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book is a cultural and intellectual history of anti-Catholicism in the period 1840-1870. The book will have two major themes: trans-nationalism and gender. Previous approaches to anti-Catholicism in the United States have adopted an exclusively national focus. This book breaks new ground by exploring the trans-Atlantic ties joining opponents of Catholicism in the United States and in France. The anticlerical works of major French writers such as Jules Michelet and Edgar Quinet flowed into the United States in the middle decades of the century. From the French perspective, the United States offered a model in combating the alleged ambitions of the Church. The literature and ideas which passed through this trans-Atlantic channel were overwhelmingly concerned with masculinity, femininity and domesticity. On both sides of the Atlantic, anti-Catholic literature was filled with images of priests or Jesuits craftily usurping the authority of fathers, of young girls tricked into entering convents and then subjected to merciless sexual and physical abuse, of families torn apart by the agents of the Church. Of course, the gender and domestic ideals underlying this opposition to Catholicism were not identical across the two societies. Nevertheless, gender and domesticity acted as a platform on which the trans-Atlantic case against Catholicism was built.

Pope and Berkeley - T. Jones - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Pope and Berkeley - T. Jones - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The first study dedicated to the relationship between Alexander Pope and George Berkeley, this book undertakes a comparative reading of their work on the visual environment, economics and providence, challenging current ideas of the relationship between poetry and philosophy in early eighteenth-century Britain. It shows how Berkeley''s idea that the phenomenal world is the language of God, learnt through custom and experience, can help to explain some of Pope''s conservative sceptical arguments, and also his virtuoso poetic techniques.

Outsourcing and Management - T. Tunstall - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Outsourcing and Management - T. Tunstall - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Outsourcing and Management shows how the next generation of executives will employ outsourcing, systematic thinking, disciplined management, and effective use of technology to redefine organizational structure and drive performance to new levels. Too many executives still fail to grasp how the organizational whole becomes greater than the sum of its individual parts. Layers of bureaucracy, dysfunctional behavior, and simple inertia continue to impose a drag on organizational performance at all levels. Outsourcing and Management identifies and defines important new economy organizational dysfunctions - the Moving-Target Theory of Management, Internal Monopoly, the Bozo-CEO, and the Stream-of-Consciousness Manager - all of which are destined for the scrapheap.
