        Mein Papa

        Mark Twain im Tagebuch seiner dreizehnjährigen Tochter Susy und seine Anmerkungen dazu

        by Susy Clemens, Charles Neider, Gisbert Haefs, Charles Neider, Mark Twain

        Das vorliegende Werk eines wachen und empfindsamen jungen Mädchens könnte es abgeben. Unnachahmlich scheint die Mischung von kindlicher Erzählfreude, altkluger Wahrnehmung und nachdenklichem Sentiment. Unnachahmlich erscheint aber auch der posthume innige Dialog zwischen Vater und Tochter – dies ist das Werk des Herausgebers, Charles Neider, der als einer der besten amerikanischen Kenner des Werkes von Mark Twain gelten kann und die vorliegende erste vollständige Ausgabe des biographischen Tagebuches der Susy Clemens mit vielen Kommentaren von Mark Twain liebevoll ausgestattet hat.

        Wieviel Gemeinschaft braucht die Demokratie?

        Aufsätze zur praktischen Philosophie

        by Charles Taylor, Holger Fliessbach, Hans Günter Holl, Charles Taylor

        In der philosophischen Auseinandersetzung zwischen Liberalismus und Kommunitarismus gehört Charles Taylor eher zur Seite der Kommunitaristen. Geht der Liberalismus von einem Individuum aus, das unabhängig von Wertüberzeugungen und frei von sozialen Bindungen ist, betont Taylor die Rolle des Gemeinwesens und die Einbindung des Individuums in die Werte seiner Kultur. Mit der Erfahrung eigener politischer Aktivität diskutiert Taylor in seinen Aufsätzen unter dem Titel Wieviel Gemeinschaft braucht die Demokratie? Themen wie Nationalismus, Ausgrenzung, Solidarität und analysiert den Individualismus der Moderne.

        Edward the Second

        Christopher Marlowe

        by Charles Forker

        The introduction to this edition contains an analysis of the first quarto (including new evidence of its original dating) and a reconsideration of the play's complex relation to the Shakespearean histories that preceded and followed it. Charles R. Forker offers a discussion of Marlowe's use of sources, and presents a new argument for the drama's five-act structure. He delves into the conflicting and controversial opinions concerning the genre and sexual politics of the play, and also includes a full record of the stage history. Forker has collated some 46 editions (including the important, rare and usually ignored editions of Broughton and Oxberry in 1818). The appendices provide substantive variants from the Broughton and Oxberry texts as well as extracts from the sources. ;

        The Troublesome Reign of John, King of England

        By George Peele

        by David Bevington, Charles Forker, Charles R. Forker, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

        Forker's critical edition fills the need for a fully annotated, historically contextualised and modernised text of the most important Elizabethan chronicle play apart from Shakespeare and Marlowe's Edward II. Now attributed definitely to George Peele, this drama helped to establish a major theatrical genre, raising contemporary political and religious issues through the dramatisation of medieval history in a compelling and popular fashion. A major source for Shakespeare, it throws new light on the bard's adaptation of earlier drama and helps to illustrate his working methods. With the full introduction and generous notes this Revels Plays edition will be the first port of call for students and enthusiasts of Elizabethan and early modern drama. ;

        All Fools

        George Chapman

        by Charles Edelman

        Of all the poets Francis Meres names in his famous Palladis Tamia, Wits Treasury (1598), just two rate a mention as being both 'our best for tragedy' and 'the best poets for comedy': William Shakespeare and George Chapman. All Fools, written in 1599, is the only Elizabethan comedy based directly on the plays of Terence. By taking episodes and characters from two brilliant works, The Self-Tormenter and The Brothers, Chapman creates something that is distinctly Elizabethan while remaining faithful to the spirit of the great Roman master. In this edition, an extensive introduction and commentary show how Chapman combines the literary and theatrical traditions of ancient Rome with everyday life in his own time to fashion a sparkling and innovative comedy that will delight audiences today as much as it did those of 1599.

        The First Book of Farming

        by Charles L. Goodrich

        This book is a result of the author's search for these facts and truths as a student and farmer and his endeavor as a teacher to present them in a simple manner to others. The object in presenting the book to the general public is the hope that it may be of assistance to farmers, students and teachers, in their search for the fundamental truths and principles of farming.

        Das Unbehagen an der Moderne

        by Charles Taylor, Joachim Schulte

        Was von den Verächtern der Gegenwartsgesellschaft als Dekadenz und Verfall begriffen wird, sehen die Verfechter dieser Gesellschaft als Fortschritt und Befreiung an. Beide Seiten sind nach Taylors Analyse im Irrtum.Ohne Schwächen und negative Seiten unserer realen Situation zu verkennen, zeigt er, daß das, was den Verächtern wie Verfall erscheint, in Wirklichkeit nur die Schattenseiten eines im Grunde positiven Ideals der Authentizität sind, das jedoch im Gegensatz zur Meinung der Verfechter des gesellschaftlichen Status quo bei weitem nicht erfüllt ist.Erst durch Einsicht in die wahren historischen Quellen des Ideals der Authentizität und durch Besinnung auf die darin angelegten Möglichkeiten zur Stärkung sozialer wie individueller Anlagen kann es gelingen, die selbstzerstörerischen Tendenzen der gesellschaftlichen Fragmentierung züi überwinden.

        Ecological World View

        by Charles Krebs

        Written as an introduction for non-ecology majors, The Ecological World View is an important new text from Professor Charles Krebs, the highly successful author of several mainstream ecology textbooks. It is suitable for any course designed for science majors in general, and for biology students who are interested in a career in medicine, dentistry, or biotechnology.From the basic principles of population dynamics presented in this text, students will be able to understand the applied problems that appear in every newspaper - human population growth, pest control in agriculture, and the conservation of rare species. Action on practical problems can then flow from a conceptual understanding of theoretical ecological problems and an insight is gained into how the natural world works and how humans interact with the ecosystems of the planet.
