        Failed Imagination? -second edition

        The Anglo-American new world order from Wilson to Bush

        by Andrew Williams

        The main purpose of this book is to explain how (mainly) American, but also British and other Western, policy makers have planned and largely managed to create an international order in their own image, the so-called 'New World Order'. It shows how this seismic shift in international relations has developed through the major global wars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It uses a wide variety of historical archival material to give the background to the current and historical American obsession with creating the world order, one that both reflects the American national interest but also can be said to have established the major security, economic, organisational and normative pillars of our epoch. In addition it provides excellent background reading for the current debate about American foreign policy and the origins of 'neo-conservatism' in international relations. This edition updates a very successful first edition of the title, with additional material to take into account changes in the global order since 2001 and the beginning of the 'War on Terror'. ;

        Common Agricultural Policy, 2nd Edition

        by Edited by Christopher Ritson, David R Harvey

        The first edition of this book, published in 1991 with the title The Common Agricultural Policy and the World Economy, was well received as a timely analysis of this fast-moving but important subject. However, several major developments, such as general CAP reform, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), expansion of the European Union, and relationships with eastern Europe, have justified the need for a new edition. As a result, the book has been thoroughly updated, with some completely new chapters added and others replaced. It has also be rewritten with a greater emphasis on the needs of students for a well-integrated, comprehensive textbook.

        Intellectual Property Rights in Agricultural Biotechnology, 2nd Edition

        by Edited by Frederic H Erbisch, Karim M Maredia

        During the past twenty-five years, biotechnology has revolutionized agricultural research. The enormous potential, together with a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court to allow the patenting of genetically-engineered organisms has encouraged private sector companies to invest in agricultural biotechnology research programmes. This has contributed to a rapid growth in interest in intellectual property rights as applied to this subject.The first edition of this book was published in 1998. Now fully revised and updated it presents definitive information on intellectual property law in a simplified form (with a minimum of legal jargon). New chapters have been added which cover plant variety protection and farmers rights, and additional case studies.

        The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Picture Version)

        by Huang Xuran, Tang Sulan

        "The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Picture Version)" is a children's traditional cultural enlightenment book with a fresh perspective. Selected representative and interesting chapters in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" were drawn into the book, which depicts a series of images in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" such as water systems, mountains, vegetations, trees, mountain gods, sacred beasts, water monsters, etc. In this imaginative picture book, images are vivid and the story theme is ups and downs. The author extracts nourishment from the profound ancient myths, and then creates new stories that children can understand. The whole book takes a retro and creative form with concise and simple text and simple and freehand ink painting through the mountain and sea scriptures, depicting a mythical world where the heavens and the earth are prevalent and the gods and monsters are in chaos.

        Bulletin of the John Rylands Library 99/1

        The Aldine Edition of the Ancient Greek Epistolographers: Roots and Legacy

        by Julene Abad Del Vecchio

        This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to the Aldine edition of the Ancient Greek epistolographers. Published in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, the Aldine edition was the first printed edition of most of the thirty-six Greek letter collections that it contains. As such, it embodies the intersection between the medieval epistolary anthologies that predated it and the printed editions of Greek epistolographic collections that followed, which were primarily based on its text. In recent decades, the Aldien edition has been the subject of important works, which have sought to analyse its contents and sources. This issue explores the Aldine edition from three perspectives: its relationship to the epistolary collections found in medieval manuscripts, its relationship to the printed editions that followed it and its legacy and value for the modern scholar studying Ancient Greek epistolography.

        The Core Quality of Art (revised edition)

        by Yin Shaochun

        On the basis of continuing the main content of the original book, the revised version of "Everyone Talks about the Core Literacy of Fine Arts" has made the following changes: First, it adds "the fifth part: New Language about the Core literacy of fine arts", which is divided into "the first part: Everyone talks about the new language" and "the next part: Doctor's micro talk". The courseware taught by Yin Shaochun, Hu Zhifan, Zhou Fengfu, Wang Dagen, LAN Gang and other experts in the fine Arts group of the Ministry of Education in important academic seminars has been added. The second is to sort out the main literature of "core literacy" and "core literacy of fine arts", including periodical literature, newspaper literature and monographs literature (including translated works), which is conducive to master's and doctor's researchers and front-line teachers who are interested in in-depth exploration of the core literacy of fine arts, according to their own research and writing needs, to refer to it according to the steed. The third is to add a bookmark in the form, with the editor's message "core quality, Da Dao Yan".

        Werkausgabe in sechs Bänden in der edition suhrkamp

        Gesamte Werkausgabe

        by James Joyce

        Band 1: »Und zu allererst lese man die Dubliner. Es ist die einzige Möglichkeit, das Werk eines der größten Schriftsteller zu verstehen.« T.S. Eliot Band 2: In einem Anflug von Verzweiflung, weil er seine Manuskripte nirgends unterbringen konnte, warf Joyce 1911, so will es die Legende, den gesamten Text ins Feuer, aus dem seine Schwester 383 Seiten rettete. Diese Seiten wurden 1944 unter dem Titel »Stephen Hero, Stephen der Held«, veröffentlicht. Sie umfassen die Jahre des jungen Joyce, der sich Stephen Dedalus nannte, am University College in Dublin. Im Herbst 1907 begann Joyce den Roman umzuarbeiten, d. h. neu zu schreiben. Aus dem weitschweifigen Text von Stephen Hero wurde die komprimierte, komplexe Textur des »Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man«. Die für den »Ulysses« später so zentrale Leitmotivtechnik wurde hier zum ersten Mal erprobt. Band 3: Die 1975 im Rahmen der Frankfurter Joyce-Ausgabe zuerst erschienene neue »Ulysses«-Übertragung von Hans Wollschläger - »die wortmächtigste und wortreichste Übertragung in der deutschen Übersetzungsgeschichte«, so die »Süddeutsche Zeitung« - konnte die Ergebnisse von 50 Jahren Joyce-Forschung berücksichtigen, die vieles dazu beigetragen hat, die Fehler zu beseitigen, die Undurchsichtigkeiten zu lichten und die sogenannten dunklen Stellen weitgehend zu klären. Diese Übersetzung unterscheidet sich auch insofern von den bisherigen Originalausgaben und Übersetzungen in andere Sprachen, als zahlreiche Passagen, insbesondere des letzten und vorletzten Kapitels, die aufgrund von Irrtümern der Drucker nicht einbezogen wurden, erstmals in den Werkzusammenhang des »Ulysses« eingebracht worden sind.Band 4: Dieser Band enthält die »Aufsätze«, das Theaterstück »Verbannte«, die Prosaskizze »Giacomo Joyce« und die sogenannten »Epiphanien«. Die Auswahl der »Aufsätze« - Essays, Vorträge, Rezensionen - umfaßt das Wesentliche. Neben wichtigen früheren Arbeiten wie »Drama und Leben (1900), »Ibsens neues Drama« (1900) und »Der Tag des Pöbels« (1901) stehen die Notate zur Ästhetik aus Paris und Pola, die Triestiner Vorträge über irische Kultur und Politik, über Blake und Defoe, und die irischen Reiseberichte, die Joyce 1912 für den »Piccolo della Sera« schrieb. Band 5: Dieser Band enthält alle in Buchform erschienenen Gedichte: die Sammlungen »Kammermusik« (1907) und »Pöme Penysstück« (1927); die »Verstreuten Gedichte«, darunter die »Fragmentarische Jugendlyrik (1900-1904); die Verssatiren »Das heilige Offizium« und »Gas von einem Brenner«, die »Gelegenheitsverse« (1902-1937). Richard Ellmann vermerkt in seiner umfassenden Joyce-Biographie, daß sich Joyce als »junger Poet« selbst nicht im klaren war über seine Gedichte. Aufgenommen wurde in diesen Band außerdem das einzige übersetzte Kapitel aus »Finnegans Wake«, »Anna Livia Plurabelle«, im Originaltext und in zwei Übertragungen, der von Wolfgang Hildesheimer und der von Hans Wollschläger.Band 6: »Finnegans Wake«, das »schwierigste Buch des Jahrhunderts«, gilt aufgrund seiner »verwirrenden Sprache« und seiner »Verdichtungen« als unübersetzbar. Mit dem nun vorliegenden kompletten englischen Text von »Finnegans Wake«, können diese Beurteilungen einer erneuten Prüfung unterzogen werden, der Leser kann an jenem – wie Anthony Burgess es nannte - »Puzzle« mitarbeiten. Textgrundlage des vorliegenden Bandes ist die 1975 bei Faber & Faber erschienene Ausgabe, die bis zum Manuskript zurückgeht und Joyce' Korrekturen berücksichtigt.

        Nutrition and Eating Disorders, Third Edition

        by Lori A. Smolin, Ph.D. and Mary B. Grosvenor, M.S., R.D.

        Praise for the previous edition: "...easy-to-read...well-balanced...a good amount of detail."—School Library Journal Media images of "ideal bodies"—which, in reality, are often dangerously thin—make it easy for people to start worrying about their own body shapes and compare themselves to these model ideals. For some people, this concern with thinness becomes an obsession, and they fall victim to eating disorders. The sufferer may starve him- or herself, exercise too much, or deliberately vomit to purge the body of calories. This new edition of Nutrition and Eating Disorders, Third Edition examines some of the most common eating disorders, from anorexia nervosa to binge eating.

        Political marketing and British political parties (2nd Edition)

        by Jennifer Lees-Marshment

        The first edition of this book demonstrated that British political parties now attempt to offer a complete product that will appeal to a majority of voters, rather than being influenced by a political ideology and firm belief system. This new edition provides an updated and more in-depth exploration of the political marketing approach, including analysis of the 2001 and 2005 elections. It re-presents the influential theory of market, sales and product-oriented parties, discussing the potential and the limits of consumerism, and the need to blend business concepts with a traditional understanding of politics. Lee-Marshment examines Blair's New Labour government in order to draw out lessons on delivery, maintaining market intelligence and the effect of changing to a leadership approach that goes against country and party. Analysis of the Conservatives in opposition shows how the best intentions of party leaders to implement a market-orientation can be thwarted by internal resistance and traditional party elites. Providing a more reflective and critical analysis, the second edition offers a more nuanced discussion on how political parties can not only win elections but govern successfully.
