The Great Western's Last Year

Efficiency in Adversity

From dark crimes of passion to shocking tales of grave robbing, gruesome murders, dens of iniquity, Victorian séances, and haunted houses—not far beneath London’s everyday bustle and glitter there has long been a fascinatingly rich underworld of criminality, superstition, scandal, and macabre debauchery.&nbsp; In Dark London, social historian Dr Drew Gray, a specialist in the history of crime and punishment, delves into the city’s grim yet compelling past, uncovering the people and places that shaped its darker identity. &nbsp; Across more than 100 real-life cases and curiosities, he explores how London became both the heart of a growing empire and a stage for vice, greed, and human fallibility.&nbsp; Highlights include:&nbsp;<ul><li>The London Burkers, a notorious gang of resurrectionists whose leader confessed to stealing and selling nearly 1,000 bodies to London’s medical schools in the 1830s.&nbsp;</li><li>The Whitechapel Murders of 1888, still the world’s longest running serial murder mystery.&nbsp;</li><li>The prisons of Newgate and Pentonville, where shifting attitudes towards justice revealed the tension between punishment, reform, and moral control.&nbsp;</li><li>The legend of Spring-heeled Jack, the terrifying, leaping figure who caused panic across London’s streets.&nbsp;</li><li>The Great Stink of 1858, when London’s polluted Thames brought the city to a standstill and forced a revolution in sanitation and public health.&nbsp;</li></ul> Dark London brings together the history of the city’s seamier side, picking out the most scandalous, curious and bizarre aspects of London’s shadowy and fascinating underbelly.&nbsp;

A Journey Through the City's Mysterious and Macabre Underworld

Dark London

&lt;i&gt;The John Deere Way&lt;/i&gt; presents timeless business lessons from one of America’s top brands. Even as many American manufacturers struggle with low-cost foreign competition, John Deere has not only prevailed, but increased its market share by offering superior quality products built tough and in accordance with time-tested business values. This book shares the company’s management principles and corporate values and shows how those values guide the company to increasingly greater success. For business owners and leaders who want to know what real long-term success constitutes—and how to achieve it—&lt;i&gt;The John Deere Way&lt;/i&gt; is the only way.

David Magee

The John Deere Way

Russian Shorts

In Russia, food has a hugely important role in political, symbolic, and practical terms. In this illuminating history of Russian food in the modern age, Catriona Kelly - a leading cultural historian and keen amateur cook - reflects on this and an environment where what you eat (and drink) indicates how patriotic you are.
 
 Kelly argues that an expectation of 'feeding' is embedded in attitudes to the state as provider, and that rationing systems have traditionally replicated and even enforced social hierarchies. The book looks at how Russian food is intimately connected with family and friends, and was an important source of delight even in the Soviet period, when official culinary provision and practices ostensibly sought to promote nutrition above all, and food was often short. Russian Food since 1800 traces these complex and contradictory associations. It also examines various shifts in diet and cuisine over the last three centuries, including the ways in which old traditions such as pickling and jam-making sit alongside wider world influences from the vast imperial hinterland in the Baltic, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, as well as Western Europe and America.

Princeton Legacy Library

Peru's self-proclaimed "revolution"-surprisingly extensive reforms initiated by the military government-has aroused great interest all over Latin America and the Third World. This book is the first systematic and comprehensive attempt to appraise Peru's current experiment in both national and regional perspective. It compares recent innovative approaches to Peru's problems with the methods used by earlier regimes, providing original and stimulating interpretations of contemporary Peru from the viewpoints of political science, sociology, history, economics, and education.

Originally published in 1976.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Continuity and Change Under Military Rule

The Peruvian Experiment

Schriftenreihe zum gewerblichen Rechtsschutz

Durch die Globalisierung des Wirtschaftslebens und die Integration des Binnenmarktes in der EU gelangen zahlreiche Fälle mit Auslandsbezug vor die Gerichte. In all diesen Fällen stellt sich die Frage der internationalen Zuständigkeit, die in der EU zumindest teilweise eine harmonisierte Regelung durch die Brüssel-Ia-Verordnung erfahren hat. Die endgültige Auslegung der Verordnung obliegt dem Europäischen Gerichtshof; für das Lauterkeitsrecht fehlt es aber bislang an konkretisierenden Entscheidungen. Als besonders problematisch stellt sich das bei den praktisch hochrelevanten Internetsachverhalten dar.
Vor diesem Hintergrund erschließt die Untersuchung zunächst die durch das materielle Lauterkeitsrecht geschützten Interessen sowie die abstrakten Zuständigkeitsinteressen der Prozessparteien. Auf Grundlage dieser Erkenntnisse erfolgt sodann, mit dem Schwerpunkt auf dem Gerichtsstand der unerlaubten Handlung, eine Auseinandersetzung mit den einschlägigen Gerichtsstandsnormen der Brüssel-Ia-Verordnung. Die Leitlinien der bestehenden Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs werden kritisch analysiert und ihre Übertragbarkeit auf lauterkeitsrechtliche Streitigkeiten diskutiert. Die Untersuchung nimmt dabei alle lauterkeitsrechtlich relevanten Haftungs- und Verfahrenskonstellationen in den Blick, gelangt aber auch zu Ergebnissen, die über den Lauterkeitsprozess hinaus verwertbar sind. Insbesondere erörtert sie auch Möglichkeiten, drohende ausufernde Zuständigkeiten bei Internetsachverhalten und anderen Streudelikten zu begrenzen und unterbreitet dazu konkrete Lösungsvorschläge.
Die Arbeit schließt eine Lücke, die in den letzten Jahren durch die weitere Integration des Binnenmarktes, die dramatisch gestiegene Bedeutung des Internets sowie eine Reihe bedeutsamer Entscheidungen des Europäischen Gerichtshofs entstanden ist. Sie präsentiert umfassende, praxistaugliche Lösungen zur Bestimmung der internationalen Zuständigkeit in grenzüberschreitenden lauterkeitsrechtlichen Streitigkeiten, die für Wissenschaft und Praxis gleichermaßen von Bedeutung sind.

Eine Untersuchung der internationalen Entscheidungszuständigkeit nach der Brüssel-Ia-Verordnung

Der internationale Lauterkeitsprozess

A journey through time and around the world to uncover water's true nature, and how it can help us adapt to climate change. Trouble with water - increasingly frequent, extreme floods and droughts - is one of the first obvious signs of climate change. Meanwhile, urban sprawl, industrial agriculture and engineered water infrastructure are making things worse. As our control attempts fail, we are forced to recognize an eternal truth: sooner or later, water always wins. Award-winning science journalist Erica Gies follows water 'detectives' as they search for clues to water's past and present. Their tools: cutting-edge science and research into historical ecology, animal life, and earlier human practices. Their discoveries: a deeper understanding of what water wants and how accommodating nature can protect us and other species. Modern civilizations tend to speed water away. We have forgotten that it must flex with the rhythms of the earth, and that only collaboration with nature will allow us to forge a more resilient future.

Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge

Water Always Wins

The Wartime Chronicles

London, January 1943. Emmy and Charles celebrate their first anniversary apart as Charles is stationed overseas. They exchange lots and lots of letters and are doing their best in an entirely unpleasant situation. At Woman's Friend the magazine is going from strength to strength. The new readers' page, ?Woman's Friend to Friend', has been a huge hit. After two years in the job, there is no problem Emmy hasn't seen, and nothing she can't answer. Back in Pimlico, Bunty has opened the house up to women in need. Thelma from the fire station and her three children are living with them and the house is a noisy, cheerful place despite the fact the war rages on and things are very tight. Thelma and Emmy think it is time Bunty thought about men again, so they are in cahoots to set her up with someone. The girls take in two refugees, Lily and Petra, who came to Britain from Germany in 1938, managing to get out just in time. Lily and Petra are brilliant additions to the household but unfortunately this feeling is not shared by some of the neighbours and it falls on Emmy and Bunty to stick up for their new friends.

It compares recent innovative approaches to Peru's problems with the methods used by earlier regimes, providing original and stimulating interpretations of contemporary Peru from the viewpoints of political science, sociology, history, economics, and education.

 Among the issues considered are the military regime's policies regarding income distribution, foreign investment, education, urbanization, worker-management relations, and land reform.

Beginning with the nationalized British coal industry and then raising more general issues concerning the contemporary state, Joel Krieger studies the day wage structure for face workers (National Power Loading Agreement) introduced by the National Coal Board in 1966, its consequences, and the ways in which earlier work conventions, wage structures, and social relations affected it.

Undermining Capitalism

Oneida Ltd. grew out of the commercial remains of the Oneida Community, which was a religious/social experiment founded in Oneida, New York. It was active from 1848 to 1881.John P. L. Hatcher, a great-grandson of one of the original community members and himself a longtime employee of Oneida Ltd., explores the history of the community and subsequent company in this robust history.The community and the company achieved great things—and neither should be forgotten. Upon the break up of the religious community, many of its members remained to continue businesses, including animal traps and the table flatware that would make Oneida Ltd. a household name.By the middle of the twentieth century, the company, then called Oneida Community Ltd., commanded twenty-five percent of the silver plated flatware market. The company kept true to the community’s social and wealth sharing ideals.But the dominant success of Oneida Ltd in the manufacturing of stainless steel flatware brought low cost foreign competition and the company was bankrupt in 2006. It was a textbook case of insufficient management, poor judgement, and extravagance. Find out what happened and why in A Goodly Heritage Gone Wrong.
