Taylor & Francis Ltd Labour History and the Labour Movement in Britain
Book SynopsisThis volume focuses on labour history in Britain, but brings in comparative material on the Continent, in particular inter-war Germany. Special attention is given to wages and living and working conditions in the 19th century, to Robert Owen and Co-operation, and to the modern trade union movement and its attempts to keep up the interests of its members in the fluctuating conditions of the late 19th and earlier 20th centuries. The author defends the notion that wage-earners have common interests and frequently share common experiences, and that their organisations have both a strictly economic aspect (trade unions) and a wider political dimension. The profound changes which the labour organisations underwent in the 19th and 20th centuries are a major concern of these essays.Trade Review’This is a valuable collection of papers that teachers would gain much from reading with care.’ Teaching History ’...fifteen important essays...all written with clarity and scholarship.’ Northern History, Vol. XXXVI 'A distinguished labor and economic historian... Anyone interested in British Labor history will want to look at this volume.' Victorian Studies '... all (15 essays) demonstrate their author's deep knowledge and understanding of his subject.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Concord and Reform Nicholas of Cusa and Legal and
Book SynopsisNicholas of Cusa is known as one of the most original philosophers of the 15th century, but by training he was a canon lawyer who received his degree from the University of Padua in 1423. The essays in this book analyse his legal and political ideas against the background of medieval religious, legal and political thought and its development in the Renaissance. The first two pieces deal with the legal ideas and humanism that affected Cusanus and with some of the problems faced by 15th-century lawyers, including his friends. The central section of the book also discusses how he reacted to the religious, legal and political issues of his day; Cusanus as reformer of the Church is a theme that runs through many of the essays. The final studies look at some of Cusanus'' contemporaries, with special emphasis on Gregor Heimburg, the sharpest critic of Cusanus.Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgement, Thomas M. Izbicki and Gerald Christianson; Preface, Morimichi Watanabe; Introduction, Francis Oakley; Law and Society: The lawyer in an age of political and religious confusion: some 15th-century conciliarists; Humanism, law and reform: reflections on 15th-century lawyers; Nicholas of Cusa: The origins of modern Cusanus research in Germany and the establishment of the Heidelberg Opera Omnia; Authority and consent in church government: Panormitanus, Aeneas Sylvius, Cusanus; The episcopal election of 1430 in Trier and Nicholas of Cusa; Nicholas of Cusa, the Council of Florence and the Acceptation of Mainz (1439); The German Church shortly before the Reformation: Nicolaus Cusanus and the Veneration of the Bleeding Hosts at Wilsnack; Nicholas of Cusa and the Tyrolese monasteries: reform and resistance; Nicolaus Cusanus, monastic reform in the Tyrol and the De Visione Dei; Nicholas of Cusa and reform of the Roman Curia; Nicholas of Cusa, A General Reform of the Church; Nicholas of Cusa and the idea of tolerance; Cusanus’ Contemporaries: Nicholas of Cusa - Richard Fleming - Thomas Livingston; Humanism in the Tyrol: Aeneas Sylvius, Duke Sigismund, Gregor Heimburg; Gregor Heimburg and early humanism in Germany; Duke Sigismund and Gregor Heimburg; Imperial reform in the mid-15th century: Gregor Heimburg and Martin Mair; Indexes.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Naturalists and Society
Book SynopsisThe author''s aim in these essays, which complement his pioneering books on natural history, has been to find out more about the different categories of people who engaged in this field in the past, and to piece together how the subject has been shaped by changes in society as a whole. For long the historical study of natural history was neglected, being questionably science as historians of science chose to define that word; David Allen's work has done much to remedy this. One group of the essays included here seeks to reinterpret and document more fully topics covered in The Naturalist in Britain; others look at crazes that swept society, notably the Victorian mania for fern collecting, and at the biographies of some of the leading naturalists in 18th- and 19th-century Britain.Trade Review' ...anyone interested in eighteenth-and nineteenth-century natural history in Britain will find this volume well worth examining.' Archives of Natural History '... a delightful prose style... will interest anyone seeking to learn more about the culture and practice of natural history...' Journal of the History of Biology '... an excellent selection.' History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences 'In these papers, (...) we see David Allen wrestling with fascinating material, posing (and often answering) excellent questions that those of us involved in history of any science can ponder with profit... a fascinating book by an important historian, from which everyone can expect to get some benefit.' Archives Internationales de l'Histoire des Sciences 'Allen was one of the pioneers of the social history of natural history and of science more generally... Ashgate are to be congratulated for making so many of these essays more readily available to a wider audience.' British Journal for the History of ScienceTable of ContentsContents: Preface; The culture of natural history: Walking the swards: medical education and the rise and spread of the botanical field class; Natural history in Britain in the 18th century; James Edward Smith and the Natural History Society of Edinburgh; Shells, collecting and the Victorians; Tastes and crazes; The Victorian fern craze: pteridomania revisited; Bricks without straw: reconstructing the Botanical Society of London, 1836-1856; The women members of the Botanical Society of London, 1836-1856; The struggle for specialist journals: natural history in the British periodicals market in the first half of the 19th century; The early professionals in British natural history; On parallel lines: natural history and biology from the late Victorian period; The biological societies of London, 1870-1914: their interrelations and their responses to change; Changing attitudes to nature conservation: the botanical perspective; The lost limb: geology and natural history; The natural history society in Britain through the years; Naturalists in Britain: some tasks for the historian; Biography: J.F.M.
