Spenser's Faerie Queene and the Cult of Elizabeth

Spenser's Faerie Queene and the Cult of Elizabeth

First published in 1983 Spenser’s Faerie Queene and the Cult of Elizabeth presents The Faerie Queene as a central document in the cult of Elizabeth. It shows how Spenser combines the resources of medieval iconography and Renaissance rhetoric in celebrating the Queen as the predestined ruler of an elect nation. In its introductory discussion of Renaissance poetics the book emphasises the contemporary belief in the moral function of praise. Particular attention is given to the popular identification of Elizabeth with the Virgin Mary. If Elizabeth’s gender created problems for a poet writing in the heroic mode at the same time it made available to him a form of praise that no secular poet had been able to use before. While the book contains material of interest to the Renaissance specialist its lucid style and the valuable background material it provides will appeal to undergraduates reading Spenser for the first time. | Spenser's Faerie Queene and the Cult of Elizabeth

The Problem with Survey Research

The Problem with Survey Research

The Problem with Survey Research makes a case against survey research as a primary source of reliable information. George Beam argues that all survey research instruments all types of asking including polls face-to-face interviews and focus groups produce unreliable and potentially inaccurate results. Because those who rely on survey research only see answers to questions it is impossible for them or anyone else to evaluate the results. They cannot know if the answers correspond to respondents' actual behaviors (objective phenomena) or to their true beliefs and opinions (subjective phenomena). Reliable information can only be acquired by observation experimentation multiple sources of data formal model building and testing document analysis and comparison. In fifteen chapters divided into six parts Ubiquity of Survey Research The Problem Asking Instruments Asking Settings Askers and Proper Methods and Research DesignsThe Problem with Survey Research demonstrates how asking instruments settings in which asking and answering take place and survey researchers themselves skew results and thereby make answers unreliable. The last two chapters and appendices examine observation other methods of data collection and research designs that may produce accurate or correct information and shows how reliance on survey research can be overcome and must be.

The Earth Charter Ecological Integrity and Social Movements

The Earth Charter Ecological Integrity and Social Movements

The Earth Charter is a declaration of fundamental ethical principles for building a just sustainable and peaceful global society with ecological integrity as a major theme. This book provides a series of analyses of ecological integrity as it relates to the Earth Charter social movements and international law for human rights. It is shown how the Earth Charter project began as a United Nations initiative but it was carried forward and completed by a global civil society initiative. The drafting of the Earth Charter involved the most inclusive and participatory process of its time ever associated with the creation of an international declaration. This process is the primary source of its legitimacy as a guiding ethical framework. The Earth Charter was finalized and then launched in 2000 and its legitimacy has been further enhanced by its endorsement by over 6 500 organizations including many governments and international organizations. In the light of this legitimacy an increasing number of international lawyers recognize that the Earth Charter is acquiring the status of a soft law document. The book also shows the strong connection between ecological integrity and social justice particularly in the defence of indigenous people and includes contributions from both the North and the global South specifically from Central and South America. | The Earth Charter Ecological Integrity and Social Movements

Fire safety regulations in many countries require Fire Risk Assessment to be carried out for buildings such as workplaces and houses in multiple occupation. This duty is imposed on a Responsible Person and also on any other persons having control of buildings in compliance with the requirements specified in the regulations.

To facilitate this assessment various qualitative semi-quantitative and quantitative techniques of fire risk assessment already developed are critically reviewed in this book and some improvements are suggested. This book is intended to be an expanded version of Part 7: Probabilistic risk assessment 2003 a Published Document (PD) to British Standard BS 7974: 2001 on the Application of Fire Safety Engineering Principles to the Design of Buildings.

Reconsidering American Political Thought A New Identity

Reconsidering American Political Thought A New Identity

Filling in the missing spaces left by traditional textbooks on American political thought Reconsidering American Political Thought uses race gender and ethnicity as a lens through which to engage ongoing debates on American values and intellectual traditions. Weaving document-based texts analysis with short excerpts from classics in American literature this book presents a re-examination of the political and intellectual debates of consequence throughout American history. Purposely beginning the story in 1619 Saladin Ambar reassesses the religious political and social histories of the colonial period in American history. Thereafter Ambar moves through the story of America with each chapter focusing on a different era in American history up to the present day. Ambar threads together analysis of periods including Thomas Jefferson’s aspiration to create an Empire of Liberty the ethnic racial and gender-based discourse instrumental in creating a Yankee industrial state between 1877 and 1932 and the intellectual cultural and social forces that led to the political rise of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama in recent decades. In closing Ambar assesses the prospects for a new more invigorated political thought and discourse to reshape and redirect national energies and identity in the Trump presidency. Reconsidering American Political Thought presents a broad and subjective view about critical arguments in American political thought giving future generations of students and lecturers alike an inclusive understanding of how to teach research study and think about American political thought. | Reconsidering American Political Thought A New Identity

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

These documents were selected by Rear-Admiral Thursfield for the light they throw on life afloat in the Navy of the Napoleonic era rather than for their contribution to the history of the operations in which their authors took part. They comprise four ‘Journals’ based mainly on dairies kept at the time and written up at a later date for enjoyment by the author’s friends and family. The fifth document is not a journal at all but the Order Book of a frigate captain. In addition eleven letters are included written by men from the lower deck. Each journal is headed by an Introduction which puts it in its historical context. The journal of the Rev Edward Mangin is a lively record of life aboard a 74-gun battleship in 1812 written by a clergyman who was deeply shocked by the events and deaths he witnessed. Four of the paintings he made on the Gloucester are reproduced. Peter Cullen’s journal covers the period 1789-1802 starting from the time he joined the Navy as an assistant surgeon. He gives a long account of the mutiny at the Nore and was present at Nelson’s battle at Copenhagen. Robert Wilson was a pressed man an able seaman promoted to be signalman on the smart frigate Unité from 1805 to 1809. His journal is packed with details of the many varied duties she undertook in the Mediterranean in the post-Trafalgar period and how these affected her officers and crew. Charles Abbot was a midshipman on the Alceste when she carried Lord Amherst to China as ambassador in 1816 and sank off Borneo on her return voyage. | Five Naval Journals 1789-1817
