Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

This second volume considers various socialist impulses and developments after the collapse of the Owenite movement in Britain. Interventions by some leading Christian Socialists will illuminate one important tendency; publications by O’Brien another less vital strand. Central to this volume however will be far less well-known pamphlets book extracts and articles in the periodical press by national and local co-operative writers and activists who appropriated and transformed the legacy of utopian socialism in the second half of the nineteenth century. Old Owenites are naturally included though more emphasis is given to reworkings by a younger generation of co-operators now mostly forgotten. The volume will also cover relationships and controversies between co-operators and late nineteenth century state socialists who attempted to portray the co-operative movement as merely diversionary for the working class. | Contemporary Thought on Nineteenth Century Socialism

Developments in Lymphoid Cell Biology

Developments in Lymphoid Cell Biology

In this volume the author by no means attempted to give a comprehensive view of the myriad of recent developments in immunology. The author has attempted after introducing sufficient background in chapter 1 to highlight certain areas of lymphoid cell biology which are given less attention in current thinking but which seem to the author to offer exciting prospects for research. In other cases the important topics of transplantation and tolerance are looked at from points of view which are somewhat less conventional in the hope that these aspects may stimulate others to look at the yet unsolved problems in these areas. In making the selection of topics and indeed in the selection of references within each chapter the contributors and the author have attempted to select those which offered what seemed to be the best sources of information. They do not wish to minimize the important contributions of others but are guided by constraints of brevity and cogent expression. | Developments in Lymphoid Cell Biology

Figural Synthesis

Figural Synthesis

The aim of this book originally published in 1984 was to bring together a number of approaches to this important topic. Significant advances had been made in the two decades before publication in our understanding of many aspects of the coding that occurs along the visual pathways. The major developments had been associated with probing the nature of logical processes whether physiologically or psychophysically and relatively less attention had been devoted to the problem of how such locally coded knowledge is put together to yield coherent representations of spatially (and temporally) extended patterns – that is to figural synthesis. Thus while a great deal was known about the responses of individual cells in the visual system to controlled stimulation and about the specificity of the orientational and spatial-frequency tuning of channels assessed psychophysically there had been much less discussion of how such knowledge could be brought to bear on the general problems of understanding pattern recognition.

Freudian repression the Unconscious and the Dynamics of Inhibition

Freudian repression the Unconscious and the Dynamics of Inhibition

Possibly no other psychoanalytic concept has caused as much ongoing controversy and attracted so much criticism as that of 'repression'. Repression involves denying knowledge to oneself about the content of one's own mind and is most commonly implicated in disputes concerning the possibility of repressed memories of trauma (and their subsequent recovery). While fundamental in Freudian psychoanalysis recent developments in psychoanalytic thinking (e. g. 'mentalization') have downplayed the importance of repression in part due to less emphasis being placed on the importance of memory within therapy. | Freudian repression the Unconscious and the Dynamics of Inhibition

Irenaeus of Sirmium and His Story in the Medieval East and West Remembering a Lesser Saint

Irenaeus of Sirmium and His Story in the Medieval East and West Remembering a Lesser Saint

However this has caused many less-well-known saints to be pushed aside and forgotten. This book is a study into one such saint Irenaeus a martyr who was killed in 304 CE in Sirmium Pannonia. His short-lived cult his feast day and the account of his martyrdom (which had been translated into Latin Greek Old Slavonic Georgian and Armenian) had all been forgotten during the Middle Ages. This book examines Irenaeus of Sirmium’s life cult sainthood and eventual disappearance from the memory of medieval Christendom in the context of a wider study on the memory of those less-well-known saints who like Irenaeus became neglected and eventually forgotten.

Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Every electrochemical source of electric current is composed of two electrodes with an electrolyte in between. Since storage capacity depends predominantly on the composition and design of the electrodes most research and development efforts have been focused on them. Considerably less attention has been paid to the electrolyte a battery’s basic component. This book fills this gap and shines more light on the role of electrolytes in modern batteries. Today limitations in lithium-ion batteries result from non-optimal properties of commercial electrolytes as well as scientific and engineering challenges related to novel electrolytes for improved lithium-ion as well as future post-lithium batteries. | Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Women of Color in the Aviation Industry

Women of Color in the Aviation Industry

Women of Color in the Aviation Industry offers a critical look at the reasons why the aviation industry remains underrepresented with minoritized groups particularly women of color. Despite the increased efforts to advocate for diversity equity and inclusion within the industry the diversity of its employees remains stagnant. Through interviews and conversations with a number of women of color this book argues that the industry is not doing enough to create and sustain a more equitable workforce. In this book readers will discover why less than 4% of qualified commercial airline pilots are women and of that less than 1% are Black women. The numbers of Latinx Indigenous people Asian and other people of color working in the aviation industry are lacking. This book explores how the aviation industry often fails to incorporate the experiences of women of color when developing and implementing diversity equity and inclusion initiatives and offers different perspectives on why it remains challenging to recruit and retain minoritized people to the industry. By bringing in the experiences of a variety of women this book asks readers to reflect on what it means for an organization to describe itself as one that supports diversity equity and inclusion. This timely important book is a valuable resource for a wide spectrum of researchers and students in aviation as well as gender race and ethnic studies. Whilst the examples in this book serve as a case study for aviation it can be used to examine other fields encountering similar challenges in creating a more equitable workforce.

Psychoanalysis in Asia

Psychoanalysis in Asia

The world is looking East. Whilst in the West psychoanalysis is fighting to maintain its position among the other therapies in a society which has less time for introspection and self-reflective thought in Asia a new frontier is opening up: we are witnessing a surge of interest for psychoanalysis among the mental health professionals and among the younger generations interest which is articulated and nuanced differently in the different Asian countries. In Asia and particularly in India Japan South Korea Taiwan and China the development of psychoanalysis reflects separate socio-political historical contexts each with a rich cultural texture and fuelled by the interest of a new generation of mental health professionals for psychoanalysis as a therapeutic method. | Psychoanalysis in Asia

Faith in Certain Terms

Faith in Certain Terms

This book considers how certainty and faith are related in the Christian faith. It asks: How certain can Christian believers be about their beliefs about God? Should Christians doubt the assurance of their salvation? The chapters provide a historical analysis of both certainty of faith and assurance from the early Church to modern times while also paying attention to confessional differences. The author explores contemporary debates in analytic epistemology on the certainty and fallibility of our beliefs and argues for a fallibilist understanding of Christian faith. The book also addresses some less-discussed arguments that threaten the certainty of faith and offers an account of faith as cognitive practice. It will be of interest to scholars of both theology and philosophy. | Faith in Certain Terms

Jewish Jurisprudence Its Sources and Modern Applications Volume 1

Jewish Jurisprudence Its Sources and Modern Applications Volume 1

First published in 1980 Jewish Jurisprudence is the first volume of an important series analysing and setting forth the substantive principles of Jewish jurisprudence. It encompasses the applicable sources of Jewish law from the original transmission to Moses on Sinai of the terse written law and its accompanying oral elaboration through its development to the present day. Each topic concludes with the authors’ view of the present status of the law. In former years the public teaching and discussion of law occupied a prominent place in Jewish culture. Today estrangement from the language of Halacha has made it less accessible to the general public. This series is an attempt to open the world of Jewish law to the layperson general scholars and specialists in jurisprudence. | Jewish Jurisprudence Its Sources and Modern Applications Volume 1

Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Ordinarily the word essays is invoked at great risk by authors and publishers alike. But in the case of this special collection by Joseph A. Schumpeter the great Austrian economist who finally settled at Harvard the scholarly world knows this particular volume as his Essays. For a less pious younger generation a subtitle has been added describing what these essays are about. In addition to the major themes of Schumpeter's life: the place of the entrepreneur in economic development the risks and rewards of innovation business cycles and why they occur and the evolution of capitalism in Europe and America the Essays contain statements on how Schumpeter viewed his own development; they discuss how he looked at Marxism and how he feared that economics was in danger of becoming too ideological. Several of the Essays are classics. This is the case for The Creative Response in Economic History in which Schumpeter makes a plea for the close cooperation between economic theory and economic history. Another is Science and Ideology which constitutes Schumpeter's presidential address before the American Economic Association. Finally there is the intriguing preface to the Japanese translation of Theory of Economic Development in which Schumpeter names Walras and Marx as his two great predecessors. Even those who treasure the original publication were irritated by the remarkably poor quality of much of the book which reproduced everything from typewriter script to nearly unreadable reduced double columns. These lapses have been corrected in this new edition. Here Schumpeter's Essays can finally be read with the enjoyment no lesS than enlightenment they deserve. The volume is alive to the basic issues of our time. The reader can look forward to intellectual insight and stimuli of the highest order. | Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Photographing the Holocaust Interpretations of the Evidence

Photographing the Holocaust Interpretations of the Evidence

Atrocities committed by the Nazis during the Holocaust were photographed more intensely that any before. In the time since the images were taken they have been subjected to a perplexing variety of treatments: variously ignored suppressed distorted and above all exploited for propaganda purposes. With the use of many photographs including some never before seen this book traces the history of this process and asks whether the images can be true representations of the events they were depicting. Yet their provenance Janina Struk argues has been less important that the uses to which a wide range of political interests has put them from the desperate attempts of the war-time underground to provide hard evidence of the death camps to the memorial museums of Europe the US and Israel today. | Photographing the Holocaust Interpretations of the Evidence
