The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

In the course of the early modern period the capacity of European states to raise finances wage wars subject their own and far away populations and exert bureaucratic power over a variety of areas of social life increased dramatically. Nevertheless these changes were far less absolute and definitive than the literature on the rise of the modern state once held. While war pushed the boundaries of the emerging fiscal military states of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries rulers remained highly dependent on negotiations with competing elite groups and the private networks of contractors and financial intermediaries. Attempts to increase control over subjects often resulted in popular resistance that in their turn set limits to and influenced the direction of the development of state institutions. Written in honour of the leading historian of war and state formation in the early modern Low Countries Marjolein 't Hart the chapters gathered in this volume examine the main drivers beneficiaries and discontents of state formation across and beyond Europe in the early modern period. | The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

On the Way to Myself Communications to a Friend

On the Way to Myself Communications to a Friend

Originally published in 1969 Dr Charlotte Wolff was the author of three books of psychology: The Human Hand A Psychology of Gesture and The Hand in Psychological Diagnosis. This book though it contains much psychology is not of the same scientific kind as these. It is an autobiography but not one of the normal kind. It is the history of a mind not the chronicle of a life. For this reason it is not arranged chronologically but it is constructed round what the author called the creative shock experiences of her life some of which belong with their consequences rather than with events adjacent in time. The resulting book is one of imaginative psychology. In the course of a life which began on the borders of Poland and carried her to Germany France Russia and England Dr Wolff had met and known many of the most famous writers artists and thinkers of the time. In Germany she studied under the founding Existentialists Husserl and Heidegger; in France she carried out psychological research under Professor Henri Wallon and was also assisted by the Surrealists André Breton St. Exupéry Paul Eluard; in England she was aided in her work by Sir Julian Huxley Aldous Huxley and his wife Dr William Stephenson Dr Earle and others. But Dr Wolff’s earliest creative work was as a poet and though she turned to psychology her interest in art brought her into touch at different times with Ravel Virginia Woolf Bernard Shaw Lady Ottoline Morrell Thomas and Heinrich Mann Baladine Klossowska and many more. Dr Earle wrote of her that she is ‘an artist of psychology’ and it is thus that she appears in this odd and fascinating book. Today it is an interesting glimpse in to the life of an early feminist psychologist. Her later research focused on sexology her writing on lesbianism and bisexuality were influential early works in the field. | On the Way to Myself Communications to a Friend

Land and Family in Pisticci

Land and Family in Pisticci

The study of family and inheritance systems is a traditionally anthropological one. Dr Davis has examined a South Italian town with records from 1814 and concludes that the present 'typical' European system is of recent adoption a response to the gradual and peculiar integration of Pisticci into a nation-state and national economy. The account of landholding distinguishes carefully between legal rights and informal cessions of land and agriculture is put into the context of other economic activities. Dr Davis emphasises the structural importance of kin family and neighbourhood relationships as bases for the creation of more ephemeral ties of friendship clientage and network. | Land and Family in Pisticci

A Programing Contingency Analysis of Mental Health

A Programing Contingency Analysis of Mental Health

A Programing Contingency Analysis of Mental Health presents Dr. Israel Goldiamond’s reflections on various ways we formulate behavioral and emotional problems most often in traditional terms of mental health disorders mental diseases or illnesses psychopathological disorders and so on – what he calls a pathological orientation. Here Goldiamond argues for a groundbreaking alternative view from the vantage point of radical behaviorism. The book begins by discussing contingency relations between behavior and its past and present consequences along with other environmental events. It reminds us that this approach sits comfortably alongside other consequential systems in the social and biological sciences particularly decision theory and evolution. This behaviorist system regards most important human behaviors as being emitted rather than stimulus-elicited. Described are some of the diverse origins of behavior including the effects of environmental consequences and the programing procedures of social and cultural inheritance. The exposition includes decision matrices which rationalize some of the programed patterns and the accompanying thoughts and emotions commonly found in mental illness. As a result of this nonlinear contingency analysis such patterns may be considered adaptive rather than maladaptive. The book describes programs based on those matrices and outlines how they might be applied to mitigate any problems or costs associated with those patterns. The book concludes by moving from individual analysis to social analysis with particular reference to some societal contingencies that may maintain the pathological orientation and others that might shift our gaze in the direction proposed here. Alongside Dr. Goldiamond’s original work this volume features a new introduction from Dr. Paul Thomas Andronis and Dr. T. V. Joe Layng as well as an article tracing the history of the non-linear thinking of Dr. Goldiamond first published in The Behavior Analyst. It will be a must-read for anyone working in the analysis of and clinical intervention in problems associated with mental health or those more generally interested in the work of Israel Goldiamond.

Documents Relating to Anson's Voyage Round the World 1740-1744

Documents Relating to Anson's Voyage Round the World 1740-1744

Ghost-writing is not a twentieth Century invention. In this volume for the Navy Records Society Dr Williams revealed that the classic best-seller ‘A Voyage round the World by George Anson‘ purportedly written by Anson’s chaplain Richard Walter had in fact been ghost-written by Benjamin Robins a man who had not sailed on the voyage. Describing the ‘Walter narrative’ Dr Williams wrote: ‘In substance it was Anson’s account ghosted for him by an accomplished writer and it should be regarded as an apologia for Anson’s own conduct rather than as an impartial memoir’. No student of Anson’s epic voyage can ignore this NRS study which looks in detail at the origins of the voyage its preparations and preliminary activities the first stage of the voyage round Cape Horn the second stage across the Pacific to Macao the capture of the Spanish treasure galleon from Acapulco Anson’s triumphal homecoming and the populist welcome given to the procession of thirty-two waggons laden with treasure on its journey from Portsmouth to London. Dr Williams also examined the historical significance of the Voyage. Was it a throwback to the privateering days of Drake or should it be interpreted in the light of the subsequent development of the worldwide British Empire? ‘The documents printed here’ according to Dr Williams ‘show that the discussions about the projected Pacific expeditions in 1739 were dominated by men who were looking to the future. ’ | Documents Relating to Anson's Voyage Round the World 1740-1744

The American Steel Industry Problems Challenges Perspectives

The American Steel Industry Problems Challenges Perspectives

What is the cause of the American steel industry's deplorable situation today? Troubled in many areas—competition from imports technology implementation cost and utilization of raw materials investment policy philosophy of management and union attitudes to name only a few—can the industry survive? These are the questions Dr. Kiers confronts in this book. Unless answers can be found he warns the result will be further decline and finally bankruptcy or nationalization. Unwilling to accept either possibility Dr. Kiers challenges the steel industry to achieve a rebirth he sees as feasible only through a hard-nosed realistic approach an insistence on innovation and a willingness to apply discipline to every facet of steel making. Dr. Kiers presents an in-depth analysis of Japan's steel industry compares it with the U. S. industry and discusses U. S. technology and import problems with reference to Japan. He then inventories the factors responsible for the current problems and lays the groundwork for a new start going on to point out that the difficulties faced by the steel industry may be a portent of what will happen to other industries unless they too reassess both labor and management attitudes and make radical changes. | The American Steel Industry Problems Challenges Perspectives

Peace and Security in Indo-Pacific Asia IR Perspectives in Context

Peace and Security in Indo-Pacific Asia is for the informed the interested and the engaged. Sorpong Peou brings together the skills of the pedagogue with the knowledge of the scholar. Dr. David Dewitt University Professor Emeritus Senior Scholar York University Toronto Canada. Peou’s excellent book provides both the lay reader and the specialist with six important theoretical frameworks which should provide the basis for better appreciation of what a security community in Indo-Pacific Asia means in our world today. There are very few scholars who understand the region like Peou. Dr. W. Andy Knight Professor of Political Science the University of Alberta Canada. Sorpong Peou’s extraordinary breadth of knowledge of both International Relations theory and the key trends in Indo-Pacific Asia shines through in this authoritative analysis. Dr. Richard Stubbs Professor of Political Science McMaster University Canada. A pedagogical approach of the textbook that is appreciated is how the author respectfully engages with the theories of IR and is not pushing an agenda of denouncing some theories and trying to persuade the reader of others. We live in such polarizing times that it is truly refreshing to read scholarly work that avoids sensationalistic attacks on theories that have been debated for decades. Each theory in this manuscript is explored on its own terms and the reader is encouraged to figure out where they stand on these enduring debates in the context of Indo-Pacific security. The approach will lead to compelling classroom discussions of the theories and the politics of the region. This book is a must-read for any student or observer of security trends in the region.
