Revels stuff. . . .|This Edition of George Chapman's tragedy differs from all other modern editions in being primarily based on the Quarto of 1607 in preference to the much revised Quarto of 1641. N. S. Brooke believes that the earlier text gives a more certain indication of Chapman's intentions and he has supported this view in an introduction and by a bibliographical and critical study of the play. The divergence between the texts of 1607 and 1641 are set out clearly in this volume, which includes the usual textual and critical apparatus found in the Revels series. ;

Die Mauer usw. von Hamutal Bar-Yosef, ist eine Sammlung von achtzehn Geschichten, von denen einige auf wahren Geschichten beruhen. Amos Oz nannte die Sammlung „eindrucksvoll und rührend“. Hamutal Bar-Yosef entwirft in Die Mauer usw., eine tragikomische, manchmal groteske Lebensabschnittserzählung, die die condition humaine als den gähnenden Abgrund zwischen Verlangen und Wirklichkeit darstellt. Sie beweist großes Einfühlungsvermögen und Respekt für die Figuren ihrer Erzählungen und breitet ihre inneren Welten mit großer Sensibilität vor unseren Augen aus. Hamutal Bar-Yosef ist eine bekannte israelische Schriftstellerin, Dichterin, Übersetzerin und Gelehrte. Sie wurde in einem Kibbuz als Tochter von Eltern geboren, die ihre Familie durch den Holocaust verloren hatten. Ihr einziger Bruder wurde 1948 im israelischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg getötet. Im Alter von zwanzig Jahren heiratete die Autorin den Dramatiker Josef Bar-Josef und hatte vier Kinder. Eines ihrer Kinder beging mit sechzehn Jahren Selbstmord. Sie versorgte ihre Familie zuerst als Gymnasiallehrerin und schrieb dann Leitfäden für Lehrer. Die Autorin schrieb ihre Doktorarbeit erst mit vierzig Jahren und wurde Professorin für hebräische Literatur an der Ben-Gurion-Universität. Sie hat acht wissenschaftliche Bücher und fünfzehn Gedichtbände veröffentlicht und zahlreiche Preise für ihre Gedichte gewonnen. Ihre Sammlung von Geschichten, Die Mauer usw., (ursprünglich betitelt Musik) gewann den ASI-Preis (Association of Israeli Writers). Bar-Yosef hat Gedichte und Prosa aus dem Englischen, Französischen und Russischen übersetzt. Eine englischsprachige nordamerikanische Ausgabe wurde Anfang 2019 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht.184 Seiten. Eine französischsprachige Ausgabe ist zur Veröffentlichung im Sommer 2019 geplant.

A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.

The politics of war reporting: Authority, authenticity and morality challenges the assumptions that reporters and their audiences have about the way the journalistic trade operates and how it sees the world. It unpacks the taken-for-granted aspects of the lives of war correspondents, exposing the principles of interaction and valorisation that usually go unacknowledged. Is journalistic authority really only about doing the job well? Do the ethics of war reporting emerge simply from the 'stuff' of journalism? This book asks why it is that the authoritative reporter increasingly needs to appear authentic, and that success depends not only on getting things right but being the right sort of journalist. This, in turn, depends on the uncalculating mastery of practices both before and during a journalist's career. This book includes interviews with war correspondents and others with an active stake in the field and combines them with the critical sociology of Pierre Bourdieu to construct a political phenomenology of war reporting - the power relations and unspoken 'rules of the game' underpinning the representation of conflict and suffering by the media. It considers the recent phenomena of pooling and embedding journalists as well as the impact of new technologies, and asks what changes in the journalistic area can tell us about authority, authenticity and morality in the cultural industries more broadly. Interdisciplinary in its approach, The Politics of War Reporting will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of media and cultural studies, sociology and political theory. ;
