        Visions of empire

        Patriotism, popular culture and the city, 1870–1939

        by Andrew Thompson, Brad Beaven, John Mackenzie

        The emergence of a vibrant imperial culture in British society from the 1890s both fascinated and appalled contemporaries. It has also consistently provoked controversy among historians. This book offers a ground-breaking perspective on how imperial culture was disseminated. It identifies the important synergies that grew between a new civic culture and the wider imperial project. Beaven shows that the ebb and flow of imperial enthusiasm was shaped through a fusion of local patriotism and a broader imperial identity. Imperial culture was neither generic nor unimportant but was instead multi-layered and recast to capture the concerns of a locality. The book draws on a rich seam of primary sources from three representative English cities. These case studies are considered against an extensive analysis of seminal and current historiography. This renders the book invaluable to those interested in the fields of imperialism, social and cultural history, popular culture, historical geography and urban history. ;

        Dämonenräumdienst

        Gedichte

        by Marcel Beyer

        Auf der Saftbühne wird etwas aufgeführt. Hildegard Knef steigt ins Auto. Rudolph Moshammer trägt seinen Yorkshire Terrier durch München. S. T. Coleridge macht einen Witz über Köln. Kunstwerke verschwinden. Etwas rüttelt am Fenster. Morgens, mittags, nachts. Der Amselpapst. Die Leute fangen an, Sachen zu reden. Am Wertstoffhof läuft Musik. Elvis fegt noch einmal die Einfahrt. Ich lese nur noch Pferdekrimis und suche die Sprache im grauen Bereich. Das Schlaflabor am Potsdamer Platz. Weißdorn, Majoran, Ginster... Unerhörtes trägt sich zu in den lange erwarteten neuen Gedichten von Marcel Beyer. In jedem einzelnen der exakt vierzig Verszeilen langen Poeme nimmt sich eine andere Figur jede Freiheit, die die strenge Begrenzung ihr lässt, erzählt Geschichten, paraphrasiert Übersetzungen, stellt Reihungen an - kurz: Sie treiben es bunt, manchmal auch wild, so dass am Ende gesagt werden muss: Es wird ernst! Es wird Zeit, den Dämonenräumdienst zu rufen. Laß deine mürben Knochen. Verharre. DerSohn ist der Vater, der Vaterein Geist. Koste nicht von der Esche,der Eiche, der Eibe, aber sag mir, was Buchstaben sind. Löse dich vondeinen Vorlagen. Sprich schneller.Niemand hier muß verstehen,was du sagst. Wer würde dir denn eine Knarre besorgen. Frag nicht, ob duwillkommen bist. Was in dirsingt, geht keinen Menschen etwas an.Die Buchstaben glotzen. Bleibe.

        Crop Diseases Management

        Principles and Practices

        by P. Narayanasamy

        Crop diseases are known to be caused by various abiotic and biotic agents. Among the biotic agents, microbial plant pathogens — fungi, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses and viroids — accounts for significant quantitative and qualitative losses in agricultural and horticultural crops. It is essential to have adequate knowledge of various aspects of these plant pathogens. Information on precise identification of microbial plant pathogens, process of disease development, epidemiology, assessment of losses due to diseases, principles of disease management, their applications for containing the diseases and the possible ways of integrating the practices is required to develop and enhance the effectiveness of disease management systems suitable for different ecosystems. Basic plant pathological methods provided in the appendix and glossary of plant pathological terms presented in this book will help the students to have a clear understanding of the subject. Graduating students, researchers and teachers desirous of updating the information on different aspects of microbial plant pathogens and the diseases caused by them, will find this book to be useful.

        Helena

        by Paulina Vieitez

        A  trip that marked her life – an encounter that changed her forever. In the prime of her life, Helena Artigas is trying to fulfill her greatest dream: getting a Ph.D. For that, she must travel to Madrid, Spain, to take courses at Universidad Complutense. Despite great family resistance, she is determined to do it. During her trip, her most precious objects will fall into the hands of a stranger. Little does she know that this inconvenience will set off a journey that takes her not only across the Atlantic, but into her most intimate being and her deepest wishes. Maybe the past she is carrying on her shoulders will rise to meet her, or maybe the future brings a more promising horizon – just as long as there is enough time. Of Helena, Ildefonso Falcones, the author of the best selling novel La catedral del mar, has said: “Helena is a story told with a capital H, which in Spanish is a ‘mute’ letter, just like countless women are muted by their pains and the guilt they unjustly carry. This is a novel that is both sweet and hard, where illusion fights with reality, taking us to an unexpected ending.”

        The Politics of Cultural Knowledge

        by Wane, N.

        The advent and implementation of European colonialism have disrupted innumerable epistemological geographies around the globe. Countless cultural ways of knowing and local educational practices have in some way been displaced and dislocated within the universalizing project of the Euro-Colonial Empire. This book revisits the colonial relations of culture and education, questions various embedded imperial procedures and extricates the strategic offerings of local ways of knowing which resisted colonial imposition. The contributors of this collection are concerned with the ways in which colonial education forms the governing edict for local peoples. In The Politics of Cultural Knowledge, the authors offer an alternative reading of conventional discussions of culture and what counts as knowledge concerning race, class, gender, sexuality, identity, and difference in the context of the Diaspora. In The Politics of Cultural Knowledge, Wane, Kempf and Simmons have put together a much-needed reader that could achieve the critical reconstructions for the timely re-voice-ing of anti-colonial and Indigenous knowledge systems that introspectively and deeply mediate the lives of people. It is a comprehensive, multi-locational, well-structured work that should represent an important milestone in harnessing the long-awaited inclusive epistemological platforms that must teach, empower and inspire those who seek different cultural ways of knowing. The Politics of Cultural Knowledge should immensely benefit students and researchers in the social sciences, education and those in cultural, and linguistic studies.

        Spirituality, Education & Society

        An Integrated Approach

        by Wane, N. N.

        Spirituality, education and society: An integrated approach argues the value of spirituality in education as a way to address the lived experiences and personal knowledge of students, with the goal of creating a more holistic, transformative educational process. This edited volume has a wide array of viewpoints which all point to the importance of spirituality in the authors’ personal lives, their communities and society at large. Spirituality is conceptualised as a base from which to challenge dominant forms of knowing, while in the process being able to center and engage with an important aspect of the student that has been missing from current evaluations – their spiritual selves.Within the diversity of this volume it becomes evident that spirituality cannot be confined to a singular definition and that educators must be willing to create spaces to foster spiritual growth and exploration if we are to break away from the commoditized, disempowering system that is so dominant today.This edited collection is a valuable resource for students, practitioners, educators and administrators who wish to engage in transformational schooling. Its multidisciplinary approach engages ideas around critical pedagogy, sociology of education, and inclusive schooling. There is an increasing need for exploring novel paradigms of studying education in the context of the dynamics that straddle social, economic and technological processes that have come to characterize the world in recent years. This book is a timely contribution in this respect as its focus transcends hitherto applied approaches that depend largely on western orientation. The book breaks new grounds in studying education and society that find significant relevance in societies that are marginalized by the dominant western understanding. The authors draw from the rich heritage of spirituality that is akin to the non-western social paradigms to develop a rigorous but creative concept of schooling. I am sure practitioners, researchers and students of education will find it a valuable source of practical and theoretical information that would widen their horizon of understanding of sociology of education. - Tom Mongare Ndege, PhD, Moi University, Kenya The editors have compiled a brilliant collection of essays. Each piece of scholarly work shows how spirituality is a paramount part of our everyday lives and is connected to teaching, learning, living and healing. This is a timely and most relevant work that is sure to spur critical dialogue and discussion. This collection shows that while the spirit may be wounded it can never be broken. - Erica Neeganagwedgin, PhD, University of Toronto

        Relational Excitations and Proactive Silhouette Theory

        by Francis Rink Donnelly

        Definitive Arrangements as they Pertain to the Development of Error; Upper Limits and Lower Limits contained and considered synergistic to procure a viable structural bend are inherently defined. This sweeping value of one lowered limit to that of a higher-end limit is bound by (E—->100;E—>Infinity).  It can not be said that this process is dimensionless, but as all is perceived in preliminary replications with the Thirteen growth types that they are loosely bound to radical extremes.  This middle-in-series is a exploration of the M+ value.  M+ value is one of seven variable factors that are great estimates of how bending occurs in a majority of species containing specified bending capacity.  Highlighted by, an in depth analysis of growth parameters, each extenuating and providing visual conception and proof that energetics plays a large role in the undeniable relocation of a temporal and spatial arrangement.  To begin with an excitation and end with the production of a proactive silhouette is discussed with magnitude and volition.  Strength of the proof is verified as the document unfolds; ever ebbing its’ dynamic nature to that which is surrounded by the investigators role in production of such states.
