Nature's Ideological Landscape A Literary and Geographic Perspective on its Development and Preservation on Denmark's Jutland Heath

Originally published in 1984 Nature’s Ideological Language examines the common ideological roots of environmental reclamation and nature preservation. In the general context of European British and American historical experience the Jutland heaths of Denmark are taken as a concrete example for a general critique of European and American policy concerning the use of landscape. Two sets of contradictions are highlighted: ideological and practical between development and preservation; and those between scientific historical aesthetic and recreational motivation for preservation. The book is based on a study of the Jutland heath from 1750 to the present focusing on the Danish perception of the area as expressed in literary art and in economic journals topographies and government reports. Against this background the development of the modern conception of nature is traced and its ideological implications and planning consequences discussed. As a study of humanistic geography this book will be of interest to geographers conservationists and planners. | Nature's Ideological Landscape A Literary and Geographic Perspective on its Development and Preservation on Denmark's Jutland Heath

The Life and Literary Pursuits of Allen Davenport

First published in 1994 this volume features an autobiography of Allen Davenport a key figure linking Chartism with the French Revolution along with some of his selected works. Davenport was an important propagandist for agrarian reform a critical follower of Robert Owen one of the first male supporters of the feminist causes and birth control and a leading member of the revolutionary underground movement in Regency London. He was a prolific author political journalist and poet. His autobiography published in 1845 has long been presumed lost - historians have had to make do with tantalising fragments from contemporary reviews. When a copy was found in Nashville in 1982 it was immediately recognised as a unique source of information about nineteenth-century popular politics. This volume reprints the complete text with editorial apparatus and supplemented by a careful selection of Davenport's other writing by Dr Malcolm Chase. The Life and Literary Pursuits of Allen Davenport thus gives a unique insight into the cultural and political life of England in the crowded years between Peterloo and Chartism.

Preparation for Life? Vocationalism and the Equal Opportunities Challenge

First published in 1997 this volume contributes to the debate on the ground-breaking Technical and Vocational Education Initiative (TVEI) introduced by Margaret Thatcher by exploring the implications of its equal opportunities policy. The scheme was announced in 1982 piloted in 1983 extended nationally in 1987 and ended in 1997. It responded to criticisms that the education system was failing to meet the needs of employers and committed to equal opportunities for boys and girls along with increasing access to technology at the genesis of the computing era. The TVEI represented the first major intervention by central Government in curriculum development in England and was organised on a local authority level. The author Sue Heath had experienced mixed messages for what students of each gender could expect to achieve and she remained fascinated by the implications of the TVEI for 1980s school curriculums. Based on research begun in 1989 the volume reassesses the significance of the TEVI as a landmark policy in education. Heath examines areas including vocationalism the issue of gender implementing the TVEI locally the curricular experiences of TVEI pupils and whether the TVEI succeeded in preparing students for the world of work and later life. | Preparation for Life?

Beyond Liberalism

In Beyond Nihilism Michael Polanyi argued that a merely negative liberty of doing as one pleases so long as one does not impinge upon the equal liberty of others - must and has led to destructive nihilism and a fierce reaction to collectivism. R. T. Allen takes up this argument in Beyond Liberalism and shows how Polanyi's political philosophy evolved into a more positive and distinctly conservative concept of liberty converging upon the archetypal conservatism of Edmund Burke. Allen examines Polanyi's and F. A. Hayek's thinking with respect to the nature value and foundations of liberty. Negative and positive liberties are two sides of one liberty and Allen believes negative conceptions of liberty are as dangerous as positive ones. He distinguishes among general and abstract definitions of liberty and shows how all including that of Hayek ultimately dissolve. According to Allen only tacit conceptions of liberty such as those of Burke and Polanyi prove viable. This is because they rest on concrete tradition. Allen examines how the skeptical rationalist and utilitarian philosophies of Ludwig von Mises and Sir Karl Popper fail to support the value of liberty and even proved to be destructive of it. Allen argues that society cannot rely upon the classically liberal notion of contract but rather upon prescriptive and inherited obligations. In turn this means that citizens have positive as well as negative duties to each other and the body politic of which they are part and upon whose support liberty depends. A free society is held together by emotional bonds and the traditions and rituals that sustain them. A free society also presupposes that the individual has inherent value in and for himself. For R. T. Allen only Christianity and certainly no modern philosophy has a conception of the unique individual and his irreplaceable value and of a political order that transcends itself into the moral order. Even Polanyi's liberty is ultimately insufficient for it gives no inherent value to the person himself but instead to the ideals which he serves. Beyond Liberalism challenges deeply ingrained notions of liberty and its meaning in modern society. It is a call for traditions of self-restraint and justice for their own sakes. This noteworthy volume is an essential addition to the libraries of political scientists philosophers and theologians alike.

Mircea Eliade Myth Religion and History

Mircea Eliade (1907�1986) was one of the twentieth century's foremost students of religion and cultural environments. This book examines the emergence function and value of religion and myth in his work. Nicolae Babuts Robert Ellwood Eric Ziolkowski John Dadosky Robert Segal Mac Linscott Ricketts Douglas Allen and Liviu Borda examine Eliade's views on the interaction between the sacred and the profane. Each explores Eliade's phenomenological approach to the study of religion and myth. They show that modern rites of initiation cultural activities and spectacles like bullfighting film and perhaps surprisingly reading and writing all harken back to the archetypal structures of the mythical imagination. Perhaps the greatest achievement of Eliade's phenomenological approach is that it reveals what we have in common with pre-Socratic man: the mind's structural capacity to endow objects and events with spiritual values and meanings. As a study of Eliade's concept of the mythic imagination the book posits an analogy between the myths of the past and modern imitations. The authors suggest that in spite of their differences and their separate historical sources myths represent basic structures of human consciousness. This book is essential reading for all students of religion philosophy and literature. | Mircea Eliade Myth Religion and History

Technology and Terrorism

In this volume thirteen authors from all points of the English-speaking world provide a tour of the entwined labyrinths of technology and terrorism. They describe terrorism as an epistemological contact sport. With espionage one can often deduce from a few pieces of the puzzle a plan's goals and its roots its sources. But the goals of terrorists are both vague and hopelessly specific while their means are restrained by rational institutional thought. Thus terrorists can be equally expected to flail out without any thought at all as a child might exhibit in a temper tantrum and to be hyper-rational probing at the edges of the target for any weakness. Therefore how terrorists use technology may not be determined by any particular level of technology but in the probabilities for the target's expectation and defense regarding particular technologies. Fred Allen asks why Bin Laden and his organization were effective against the Russians but may have more trouble with free societies. Edward Tenner muses on the ironies of low-tech attacks and the dangers of over-reliance on high-tech sophistication. Such thoughts are tempered by direct and unreassuring reportage from the federal security front. Ann Larabee turns the telescope around with a history showing that bomb-throwing is as American as apple pie. Toby Blyth takes us inside the theorists' backroom for a look at the ever-mutating ways means and motives of war. It used to be about power money land resources or the ever-popular Pamir Knot Great Game. Now it seems that globalization has coughed up groups of people with little in common except for simultaneous feelings of helplessness and cultural superiority. Modern technology which once seemed to hold only promise now seems to harbor the potential for danger and destruction. The contributors to this volume are interested in the broader culture and how terrorism affects that culture-including how people go about researching terrorism.

The Bohemian Ethos Questioning Work and Making a Scene on the Lower East Side

The iconoclastic ingenuity of bohemians from Gerard de Nerval to Allen Ginsberg continually captivates the popular imagination; the worlds of fashion advertising and even real estate all capitalize on the alternative appeal of bohemian style.

Deficits Debt and American Politics Paper Shackles

For most of the history of the United States periods of growing indebtedness—a product of wars and economic crises—were followed by reductions in the debt-to-GDP ratio. But why have the last several decades failed to follow this pattern leaving the national debt at its highest level since World War II? In this groundbreaking new book author Marc Allen Eisner who has devoted most of his scholarly career to studying the evolution of the US political economy explores the significant changes in the fiscal conditions of the United States during the postwar period embedding the discussion in a broader historical context. He demonstrates that the national debt is in part a product of reduced revenues and the growing costs of the largest entitlement programs but it also reflects a long series of shocks including two wars the financial crisis and Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. Deficits Debt and American Politics chronicles the history of the US debt in the postwar period placed in the context of broader changes in the political economy and partisan politics. But it grounds this exploration in reader-friendly chapter-length discussions of public finance taxation mandatory spending and the budgetary process from a policy perspective. The volume concludes with a discussion of the challenges of comprehensive tax and program reforms in the current political climate. Deficits Debt and American Politics assumes little prior knowledge on the part of the reader making it an ideal book for courses on public policy and political economy taught at both the upper-level undergraduate and graduate level. The material on public finance long-term trends in taxation and spending and the budgetary process often relegated to descriptive texts will be invaluable in courses engaging the deficit and debt. | Deficits Debt and American Politics Paper Shackles

This book presents a novel examination of urban commons which provides a robust base for education initiatives and future public policy guidance on the protection and use of urban commons as invaluable urban green spaces that offer a diverse cultural and ecological resource for future communities. This book's central argument is that only through a deep understanding of the past and a rigorous engagement with present users can we devise new futures or imaginaries of culture well-being and diversity for the urban commons. It argues that understanding the genesis of and interactions between the different pressures on urban green space has important policy implications for the delivery of nature conservation recreational access and other land use priorities. The stakeholders in today’s urban commons whether land users policy makers or the public are the inheritors of a complex cultural legacy and must negotiate diverse and sometimes conflicting objectives in their pursuit of a potentially unifying goal: a secure future for our urban commons. This book offers a unique and strongly interdisciplinary study of urban commons one that brings together original historical investigation contemporary legal scholarship extensive oral history research with user groups and research examining the imagined futures for the urban common in modern society. It explores the complex social and political history of the urban common as well as its legal and cultural status today using four diverse case studies from within England as exemplars of the distinctively urban common. These are Town Moor in Newcastle Mousehold Heath in Norwich Clifton and Durdham Downs in Bristol and Valley Gardens in Brighton. This book concludes by looking forward and considering new tools and methods of negotiation inclusivity and creativity to inform the future of these case studies and of urban commons more widely.

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

In Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U. S. : Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies David A. J. Richards offers an investigative comparison of two central figures in late eighteenth-century constitutionalism Edmund Burke and James Madison at a time when two great constitutional experiments were in play: the Constitution of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the U. S. Constitution of 1787. Richards assesses how much as liberal Lockean constitutionalists Burke and Madison shared and yet differed regarding violent revolution offering three pathbreaking and original contributions about Burke’s importance. First the book defends Burke as a central figure in the development and understanding of liberal constitutionalism; second it explores the psychology that led to his liberal voice including Burke’s own long-term loving relationship to another man; and third it shows how Burke’s understanding of the political psychology of the violence of “political religions” is an enduring contribution to understanding fascist threats to political liberalism from the eighteenth-century onwards including the contemporary constitutional crises in the U. S. and U. K. deriving from populist movements. Mixing thorough research with personal experiences this book will be an invaluable resource to scholars of political science and theory constitutional law history political psychology and LGBTQ+ issues. | Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

The law plays an ambiguous role in running business. While legal tools can be used to tame uncertainties for example by concluding contracts to safeguard enforcement of future claims they can also generate uncertainty. These secondary uncertainties like ones stemming from vague rights and obligations may be counterbalanced by using different resources and strategies including acting informally modifying business plans or accepting the losses from unpaid dues. This book discusses how small and medium enterprises use the law abstain from using the law and use alternative pathways to manage business uncertainties. Examining these topics through the lenses of an extensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study on justiciable issues access to justice and legal uncertainty among SMEs in Poland it implements and expands upon the paradigmatic paths to justice methodology which has been successfully used to study conflict resolution access to justice and utilisation of the law by individuals in more than 30 jurisdictions. It argues that the grand promise of modern law - that it is a certainty-providing neutral and democratic device to resolve problems and conflicts - is not fully delivered. It reveals how the conditions of a freshly developed capitalism combined with the rule of law backsliding contribute to universal structural problems with access to justice meaning that accessing justice is a resource-hungry process which incentivises small businesses to settle for their legal problems and engage in informal and alternative strategies. | Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice
