Studies in Class Structure

First published in 1955 Studies in Class Structure contains six studies in problems of social structure relating mainly to contemporary British society. Professor Cole studies an analysis of the information about class structure contained in the British Census of 1951; and he also deals with the changes in British class structure during the past hundred years. He considers the structure of elites in contemporary Britain with some account of their development. He is also concerned with the influence of technical changes on class structures in Europe. These studies do not pretend to embody a comprehensive treatment of the problems of social structure: each of them stands by itself as a sharply original treatment of the many facets of class structure. This book will be of interest to students of economics sociology and history.

Grounding Electrical Distribution Systems

The first concern and the most important reason for proper grounding techniques are to protect people from the effects of ground-faults and lightning. Creating an effective ground-fault current path to assure the operation of overcurrent protective devices on solidly grounded systems and to limit the voltage-rise on equipment frames during fault condition is of paramount importance. The next concern is building and equipment protection. In this case providing low impedance bonding and grounding paths between the system source the electrical service and downstream equipment will serve to limit hazardous voltages due to faults and especially lightning A low resistance-to-ground system will serve to limit the voltage rise on systems and equipment. But of equal importance is the length of the grounding electrode conductor. It is critical to limit the length of this conductor due to the increased impedance of lightning currents. And finally a properly installed grounding system will minimize the effects of electrical noise on sensitive circuits and stabilize the voltage-to-ground during normal operation. This volume has extensive information on grounding electrical systems and equipment. This information includes the following topics: System Grounding Equipment Grounding Bonding The Grounding Electrode System Solidly Grounded Systems Impedance Grounded Systems Grounding Separately-Derived Systems Calculating Ground-Fault Currents Conductor Insulation Withstand Ratings Conductor Fusing or Melting Currents Functional Grounding Lightning Protection Readership: Anyone involved with designing a proper grounding system that will serve to protect people and equipment from the effects of ground faults and lightning. And to design a proper grounding system for special applications including Solar and Wind Powered Systems. | Grounding Electrical Distribution Systems

The Theory of the Leisure Class

In The Theory of the Leisure Class his first and best-known work Thorstein Veblen challenges some of society's most cherished standards of behavior and with devastating wit and satire exposes the hollowness of many of our canons of taste education dress and culture. Veblen uses the leisure class as his example because it is this class that sets the standards followed by every level of society. The sign of membership in the leisure class is exemption from industrial toil and the mark of success is lavish expenditure conspicuous consumption is the famous term he invented to describe somethings that satisfies no real need but is a mark of prestige. The process Veblen describes continues today albeit in a more circuitous form. The Theory of the Leisure Class is part of an ongoing effort to make available the collected works of Veblen to a present-day audience of students and scholars.

Capitalism and Agrarian Change Class Production and Reproduction in Indonesia

Small-scale agricultural producers in the peripheral world are often condescendingly assumed to be a single social class (‘the peasantry’) to be pitted against the state or corporation. This book challenges this rather idealistic view by demonstrating that under current capitalist social relations (competition efficiency and productivity and profit maximisation) these agricultural producers have been differentiated into different agrarian classes by exploitation. By comparing two different contexts of local agrarian change in Indonesia—rice cultivation in Java and oil palm in Sumatra—this book exposes the different class locations of the agrarian classes among petty agricultural producers and the class relations between them. These are often inextricably linked to gender clanship and generational issues. The power of class dynamics crucially shapes how agricultural production in both rice and oil palm is organised. The share received by different agrarian classes from the production site then prominently shapes the different nature of class reproduction for each agrarian class. This analysis demonstrates that the different agrarian classes possess different capacities and responses in their relation to the state or corporations. Any real emancipation attempt in the Indonesian countryside (and beyond) must start from a proper understanding of these class dynamics. This book marks a significant contribution to the literature on agrarian change the political economy of development rural development and Marxist political economy. | Capitalism and Agrarian Change Class Production and Reproduction in Indonesia

Sex Class and Culture

First published in 1986 Sex Class and Culture is a collection of Marxist feminist essays that develops an original critical theory and applies it to literature the visual arts and mass media. Lillian Robinson was the first American critic to suggest the essential connections among sex class and race as forces that shape works of art and the critical response to them. In applying her theory to particular texts she considers topics from the Renaissance epic to the Regency romance from Jane Austen to contemporary feminist poets and from factory workers’ memoirs to TV images of career women and housewives. The essays are insightful because Robinson clearly knows this wide assortment of texts cares about their significance and writes about them with wit. They are irreverent because she asserts the feminist critic’s permanent responsibility to ask So What? and they are controversial because she constantly addresses that question to our most powerful and respectable institutions – social and literary. This book will be of interest to students of literature history gender studies and sexuality studies.

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

This book examines why the United States has introduced safeguards that are designed to prevent their counterterrorism policies from causing harm to non-US citizens beyond US territory. It investigates what made US policymakers take steps to put the gloves back on through five case studies on the emergence of such safeguards related to the right not to be tortured the right not to be arbitrarily detained the right to life (in connection with targeted killing operations) the right to seek asylum (in connection with refugee resettlement) and the right to privacy (in connection with foreign mass surveillance). The book exposes two mechanisms – coercion and strategic learning – which explain why the United States has introduced what the authors refer to as extraterritorial human rights safeguards thus demonstrating that the emerging norm that states have human rights obligations towards foreigners beyond their borders constrains policy choices. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights counterterrorism US foreign policy human rights law and more broadly to political science and international relations.
