Gibson Carrie: The Great Resistance / LF

The Great Resistance

The 400-Year Fight to End Slavery in the Americas

Religion in Politics and Society Today

Exploring the Issues

Black Religious Activism

In the twelfth-century, Pisa was a powerhouse of global trade, a city that stood at the centre of Medieval Europe. But Pisa had a problem. It was running out of coins. In the face of a looming financial crisis, the city's rulers and its moneylenders forged a deal that laid the foundations of the modern state and of present-day banking. In Money and Promises, the distinguished banker and scholar Paolo Zannoni examines the extraordinary relationship between states and banks. He draws upon seven case studies: the republic of twelfth-century Pisa, seventeenth-century Venice, the early years of the Bank of England, Imperial Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the nascent USA during the American Revolution, and Bolshevik Russia in 1917-21. Spanning a multitude of countries, political systems and historical eras, Zannoni shows that at the heart of our institutions lies an intricate exchange of debt and promises that has shaped the modern world. Featuring pioneering research and original insights, this authoritative yet accessible book explores the vital relationship upon which our financial and political systems still depend.

Seven Deals that Changed the World

Money and Promises

Positioning Henry James within his transatlantic and pan-European contexts, Peter Rawlings relocates James and the New Criticism's ideology of organicism in biology rather than in aesthetics. He argues that the novel as a character-driven genre emerged from philosophical and scientific thinking about consciousness and that James's canonization must be reexamined in the context of the philosophical, physiological, and biological discourses on which he drew in his theory and practice as a novelist.

Positioning Henry James within his transatlantic and pan-European contexts, Peter Rawlings relocates James and the New Criticism's ideology of organicism in biology rather than in aesthetics. Rawlings argues that the novel as a genre anchored in the representation of character emerged from philosophical and scientific thinking about consciousness and experience that begins in the late seventeenth century and encompasses two hundred years of traffic between Europe and America. His ambitious study explores the significance of American thinkers and their European antecedents, from Jonathan Edwards to Josiah Royce, aligning James's 1884 essay "The Art of Fiction" with contemporary thinking on consciousness and its dense, ramifying aetiology. By this point, Herbert Spencer had extended Darwin's evolutionary thinking into the social domain, disrupting ideas about consciousness as allied with the soul even as the fin-de-siècle enthusiasm for panpsychism and the paranormal made a last stand against the New Sciences. A major contention of Rawlings's book is that Henry James should not and cannot be isolated from the urgent need to rethink what seminal critics such as Ian Watt and Marthe Robert have said about the procession of the novel from prose fiction. James's canonization by the New Critics motivates Rawlings's reexamination of Walter Scott, Jane Austen, Susan Warner, and George Eliot, among others, in the context of the vast range of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European and North American philosophical, physiological, and biological discourses on which James drew in his theory and practice as a novelist.

Henry James, Consciousness, and the Evolution of the Novel

A witty and provocative treatise on the financial policies we'll need to make our public schools work for all children From the anti-CRT panic to efforts to divert tax dollars to charter schools, the right-wing attack on education has cut deep. In response, millions of Americans have rallied to defend their cherished public schools. But this incisive book asks whether choosing between our embattled status quo and the stingy privatized vision of the right is the only path forward. In As Public as Possible, education expert David I. Backer argues for going on the offensive by radically expanding the very notion of the "public" in our public schools. Helping us to imagine a more just and equitable future, As Public as Possible proposes a concrete set of financial policies aimed at providing a high-quality and truly public education for all Americans, regardless of wealth and race. With witty and provocative prose, Backer shows how we can decouple school funding from property tax revenue, evening out inequalities across districts by distributing resources according to need. He argues for direct federal grants instead of the predations of municipal debt markets. And he offers eye-opening examples spanning the past and present, from the former Yugoslavia to contemporary Philadelphia, which help us to imagine a radically different way of financing the education of all of our children.

 Drawing on the socialist tradition to imagine a more just and equitable future, As Public as Possible proposes a concrete set of proposals aimed at providing a high-quality and truly public education for all Americans, regardless of wealth. With witty and provocative prose, Backer takes the reader on an enlightening tour of radical policy alternatives. He shows how we can decouple school funding from property tax revenue, evening out inequalities across districts by distributing resources according to need. He argues for direct federal grants instead of the predations of municipal debt markets. And he offers eye-opening examples spanning the past and present, from the former Yugoslavia to contemporary Philadelphia, which help us to imagine a radically different way of educating all of our children.

Anthem Studies in Gothic Literature

Nuclear Gothic investigates the previously unexplored congruities that lie between gothic forms and modes and nuclear cultures and techno-sciences; it aims to read Western nuclear fictions in relation to their Japanese counterparts and through a cohesive critical framework that examines atomic processes, nuclear fictions and specific historical and cultural moments.

Ein Fall für die Navajo-Police

Ein Toter im Auto liefert neue Erkenntnisse zu einem alten Fall, der Leaphorn noch immer beschäftigt: Ein Betrug um die legendäre Golden Calf Mine endete mit einem Mord, und ein klagender Wind soll die Schreie einer Frau durch die Luft getragen haben. Sergeant Chee unterstützt seine Kollegin bei den Ermittlungen, doch Leaphorn zieht eigene Schlüsse.

In einem ausgetrockneten Flussbett im Navajo-Reservat steht ein Pick-up, darin ein Toter, die tödliche Kugel noch im Rücken. Kein Verdächtiger, kein Tatmotiv, und Sergeant Jim Chee gerät unter Druck, weil seine Assistentin unzureichend Spuren gesichert hat.Doch Karten im Wagen und bestimmte Pflanzensamen an den Socken des Toten deuten darauf hin, dass der Tote womöglich auf der Suche nach der legendären Golden-Calf-Mine war – ein Ort, der bisher mehr Unheil als Reichtum schuf und Joe Leaphorn an ein altes Verbrechen erinnert: Vor fünf Jahren wurde ein Goldsucher ermordet, und die Ehefrau des Täters verschwand spurlos. Erzählt man sich nicht noch heute, wie der Wind in der Mordnacht Klageschreie davontrug?
