Magna Carta

Magna Carta

This new history is the first to tell the story of Magna Carta ‘through the ages’. No other general work traces its continuing importance in England’s political consciousness. Many books have examined the circumstances surrounding King John’s grant of Magna Carta in 1215. Very few trace the Charter’s legacy to subsequent centuries and even fewer look at the fate of the physical document. Turner also underlines its great influence outside the United Kingdom especially in North America. Today the Charter enjoys greater prestige in the United States the land of lawyers than in Britain. U. S. citizens claim Magna Carta as a source of their liberties guaranteeing ‘due process of law’ and condemning ‘executive privilege’.

What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

In 1921 a young female doctor started analysis with Sigmund Freud. In a diary she recorded what moved her. The present volume not only contains a full translation of these records but also collects four essays by two psychoanalysts and two analytical historians who take their cue from the young doctor's notes to think about Freud and his methods. The discovery of the diary marks a small sensation for the history of social science. Three factors make the document unique: first it records not a training analysis but the analysis of an actual patient second the analysis took place before Freud fell ill with cancer and third the analysand obviously noted down what was said in the practice word by word. | What is this Professor Freud Like?

We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

Charles A. Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution was a work of such powerful persuasiveness as to alter the course of American historiography. No historian who followed in studying the making of the Constitution was entirely free from Beard's radical interpretation of the document as serving the economic interests of the Framers as members of the propertied class. Forrest McDonald's We the People was the first major challenge to Beard's thesis. This superbly researched and documented volume restored the Constitution as the work of principled and prudential men. It did much to invalidate the crude economic determinism that had become endemic in the writing of American history. We the People fills in the details that Beard had overlooked in his fragmentary book. MacDonald's work is based on an exhaustive comparative examination of the economic biographies of the 55 members of the Constitutional Convention and the 1 750 members of the state ratifying conventions. His conclusion is that on the basis of evidence Beard's economic interpretation does not hold. McDonald demonstrates conclusively that the interplay of conditioning or determining factors at work in the making of the Constitution was extremely complex and cannot be rendered intelligible in terms of any single system of interpretation. McDonald's classic work while never denying economic motivation as a factor also demonstrates how the rich cultural and political mosaic of the colonies was an independent and dominant factor in the decision making that led to the first new nation. In its pluralistic approach to economic factors and analytic richness We the People is both a major work of American history and a significant document in the history of ideas. It continues to be an essential volume for historians political scientists economists and American studies specialists. | We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

West Germany A Contemporary History

West Germany A Contemporary History

First Published in 1982 West Germany presents a new approach to the study of contemporary Germany. The past history of the country is used to explain its present state since the roots of many of the events of this century can be found as far back as the Middle Ages. In order to understand Germany’s relative backwardness in the nineteenth century it is vital to have some conception of her medieval history and likewise the descriptions of the constitutions of 1871 and 1919 help to explain why the Basic Law of 1949 took the form it did. The form the book takes is slightly unusual in that the amount of space devoted to an epoch increases as the present-day approaches but this is consistent with the aim of the book. This is an important historical document for scholars and researchers of German history and European history. | West Germany A Contemporary History

Cutoffs for Dams

Cutoffs for Dams

ICOLD Bulletin 150 Cutoffs for Dams discusses foundation treatment methods using cutoff-type barriers. High emphasis is given to alluvial deposits throughout this document; however different materials may require cutoff. The construction of cutoffs has made significant advances mainly through the development of more powerful machinery for drilling and excavation but also through the introduction of new concepts and techniques such as jet grouting and deep soil mixing. The following types of cutoffs are presented in this Bulletin: - Diaphragm walls- Vib walls- Pile walls- Superimposed concreted galleries- Jet grouting- Deep mixing These methods are described and the practical application of each method is illustrated by selected case histories. These case histories also demonstrate how certain difficulties specific to a particular dam site have been dealt with. The performance of cutoffs should be monitored so that their efficiency in reducing flow and piezometric head can be evaluated. Piezometers installed in the foundation upstream and downstream of the cutoff are needed to meet this objective.

Looking Through Freud's Photos

Looking Through Freud's Photos

A moody Freud posed against a background of holiday pictures pinned to a wall; or lurking at the very edge of a large family group; or lost in a crowd of nineteenth-century scientists. These snapshots or posed portraits not only tell stories they also carry a specific emotional charge. The earlier essays in this book follow traces of Freud's early years through the evidence of such album photographs; the later essays use them to reconstruct the stories of various family members. An unknown photo of his half-brother Emanuel initiates an investigation into the Manchester Freuds. An identity photo of his daughter Anna and the document to which it is attached throw light on the critical final days of her trip to England in 1914. A faded idyllic print of children playing evolves into a discussion of Ernst Freud's luck and childhood. The suicide of Anna's artist cousin Tom Seidmann Freud emerges from a snap of her infant daughter Angela. | Looking Through Freud's Photos

Corpora in Interpreting Studies East Asian Perspectives

Corpora in Interpreting Studies East Asian Perspectives

Cheung Liu Moratto and their contributors examine how corpora can be effectively harnessed to benefit interpreting practice and research in East Asian settings. In comparison to the achievements made in the field of corpus- based translation studies the use of corpora in interpreting is not comparable in terms of scope methods and agenda. One of the predicaments that hampers this line of inquiry is the lack of systematic corpora to document spoken language. This issue is even more pronounced when dealing with East Asian languages such as Chinese Japanese and Korean which are typologically different from European languages. As language plays a pivotal role in interpreting research the use of corpora in interpreting within East Asian contexts has its own distinct characteristics as well as methodological constraints and concerns. However it also generates new insights and findings that can significantly advance this research field. A valuable resource for scholars of scholars focusing on corpus interpreting particularly those dealing with East Asian languages. | Corpora in Interpreting Studies East Asian Perspectives

Women Police

Women Police

The law of equal representation should enable men and women in policing to be equally valued and rewarded for the work they perform but it has been repeatedly shown that due to the great deal of opposition to the entry of women into policing women worldwide have been unable to fully integrate into this largely male profession. Gender stereotypes have impeded the progress of women in policing and have played an unfortunate role in discriminating and devaluing their work. However women make a valuable contribution to policing and the recognition and nurturing of their skills presents an important challenge to police management. The introduction to the volume reviews the status of women officers worldwide and the integration progress made to date. The important twenty four articles chosen for inclusion in this book document the need for women officers and describe the many barriers they face in being fully assimilated into policing. This volume serves as a 'wake up call' for police management to find ways to attract and retain women in the police force. | Women Police

Grandparents/Grandchildren The Vital Connection

Grandparents/Grandchildren The Vital Connection

In this book Kornhaber and Woodward explore the vital connections that link generations to each other and expose a new social contract that destroys the emotional bonds between grandparents and grandchildren. This is the first book that reviews in a careful ethnographic manner the relationship of grandchildren to grandparents and the place of love at one end and abandonment at the other by grandparents. The authors probe the deep unexplored emotional histories of hundreds of grandparents: how they feel about themselves their grandchildren and their loss of function within today's nuclear family. With sharp increases in the number of broken families and working mothers grandparents are more vital than ever and also more available than ever. This basic research document shows how grandparents recover their natural role as elders of the family and of society. The authors' basic premise is that to exist is to be connected and that no matter how grandparents act they affect the emotional well-being of their grandchildren for better or for worse simply because they exist. | Grandparents/Grandchildren The Vital Connection
