Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Publishing Economics: Analyses of the Academic
Book SynopsisThe path to success as an academic economist is littered with obstacles. Even with excellent research material, one faces issues of running the seminar and conference gauntlet, tempestuous relationships with co-authors, the selection of an appropriate journal outlet, a detailed peer review process and, with it, the ever-present spectre of rejection.This collection tackles the issues confronting the up-and-coming economist. The authors include some of the subject's finest luminaries who offer friendly and invaluable advice as well as providing a more light-hearted look at the publication process. Some articles have become classics in their own right. They vary from an examination of seminal (and originally rejected) articles by leading economists to an analysis of why referees are not adequately paid. The tools of both economic theory and econometrics are applied to uncover some home truths and, as a result, these papers provide new insights into the nature of economic discourse.Trade Review'We have all had rejections that infuriated us because the reviewers always seem not to have read our work with the care and understanding that it merits.' -- William J. Baumol, New York University and Princeton University, US'I somehow rub referees up the wrong way, maybe by claiming more originality than I really have. Whatever the cause, I still open return letters from journals with fear and trembling, and more often than not get bad news. I am having a terrible time with my current work on economic geography. Referees tell me that it is obvious, it's wrong and anyway they said it years ago.' -- Paul Krugman, MIT, US'Everyone has a "good" paper rejected at one time because of a vicious unfair stupid referee and everyone has a "bad" paper rejected at one time because it deserves to be buried. Neither are quite as devastating as a teenager being rejected in some passionate one-sided romance, but you still can't forget them.' -- Richard Freeman, NBER, US'Economists are peculiar social scientists not least because they attach enormous value to the publication of articles in the refereed journals and virtually no value to the publication of books. It is difficult for economists to have a coffee break without a conversation which quickly turns to questions like: "Why was my article refereed by so-and-so journal? Why did the anonymous referees say what they did? Where shall I send my next paper?" In short, the publication process merits a hideous fascination if only because it governs the pecuniary and non-pecuniary rewards of the economics profession. Here are 15 classic articles on that topic gathered together by an editor who has long studied the practices of economics journals. Although economists do not read books, this is one book they will want to read - and with profit too.' -- The late Mark Blaug, formerly of the University of London and University of Buckingham, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Part I: Success and Rejection in Economics 1.

Liverpool University Press First and Last Editions: England's Second-Hand
Book SynopsisThis book, which is a mixture of fact, anecdote and quotation, describes the author's meandering exploration of some of the best of England's provincial second-hand bookshops, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the Isles of Scilly. Judged by the contents of the author's bookshelves, he has a strong but highly selective interest in sport, with rugby union, cricket and bowls foremost, and the odd place allowed to football and golf. There are biographies and autobiographies from Bernard Shaw to Alan Ross; a dozen volumes by W. H. Hudson, greatest of naturalists; travels with Henry James and Paul Theroux and Edwin Muir; books on cinema Westerns; essays by Ford Madox Ford and Edward Thomas; a novel or two; and a little poetry. The bulk of these books are dependent, to a greater or lesser extent, on fact, suggesting, correctly, that their owner is a journalist.Trade Review"A mixture of fact, anecdote and quotation, this book describes the author's exploration of the best of England's provincial second-hand bookshops - a splendid personal view of hours spent closeted among shelves filled with every book imaginable." -- The Oldie."I would say that bookselling is the most humane, sociable, ill-organised, yet absorbing form of commerce to be found anywhere." -- Eric Moore, Hitchin bookseller."Five million books are published in the world every year. Only one per cent of them are any good, and settle, and they end up in second-hand shops." -- Victor Suchar, Camden Books, Bath.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Traylen's; Stone Trough, York; Kim's, Worthing; Hall's, Tunbridge Wells; Arundel; Staffs, Lichfield; Baggins, Rochester; Camden, Bath; Petersfield; Howes, Hastings; Steedman, Newcastle; Tombland, Norwich; Gibb's, Manchester; Fifteenth Century, Lewes; Chapel Books, Westleton; Albion, Broadstairs; Halewood & Sons, Preston; Camilla's, Eastbourne; Brookes, Brighton; Sanctuary, Lyme Regis; Broadhurst, Southport; Castle, Colchester; Thornton's, Oxford; The Bookshop, Cambridge; Barely Read Books, Westerham; H.

Springer International Publishing AG Virginia Woolf, Literary Materiality, and
Book SynopsisThis book interrogates the relationship between the material conditions of Woolf's writing practices and her work as a printer and publisher at the Hogarth Press. In bringing to light her embodied literary processes, from drafting and composition to hand-printing and binding, this study foregrounds the interactions between Woolf's modernist experimentation and the visual and material aspects of her printed works. By drawing on the field of print culture, as well as the materialist turn in Woolf scholarship, it explores how her experience in print, book-design and publishing underlines her experimental writing, and how her literary texts are conditioned by the context of their production. This book, therefore, provides new ways of reading Woolf's modernism in the context of twentieth-century print, material, and visual cultures. By suggesting that Woolf's work at the Hogarth Press sensitized her to the significant role the visual aspects of a text play in its system of representation, it also considers the extent to which materiality informs both her work, as well as her engagement with Bloomsbury formalist aesthetics, which often exaggerate the distinction between visual and verbal modes of expression.Table of ContentsPart I: Materiality.1. Introduction: Writing, Materiality, and Aesthetics.2. Conversations in Colour and Ink: Feminist Aesthetics in ‘The Mark on the Wall’ and Kew Gardens.3. ‘Fill in the sketch as you like’: Developing the Fragmentary Form of Jacob’s Room.4. ‘The cold raw edge of one’s relinquished pages’: Reading Mrs Dalloway as a Palimpsest.Part II. Aesthetics.5. Drafting Mrs Ramsay and Lily Briscoe: Feminist Aesthetics in the Manuscript of To the Lighthouse.6. ‘A succession of semblances’: Form and Feminism in The Waves.7. ‘Getting the past to shadow this broken surface’: Time, Materiality, and Aesthetics.

The Chinese University Press Books in Numbers
Book SynopsisThis collection of papers is a result of an academic conference entitled ""Books in Numbers"" held in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Harvard-Yenching Library. The aim of this conference was to celebrate the book culture of East Asia by comparing and contrasting the development of manuscript and print culture in each of the separate cultural areas of the region: China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Central Asia.The papers in this volume do not in any way attempt to offer a ""complete"" picture of the history of writing and the book in East Asia, but rather they hope to make a modest contribution by highlighting the differential developments in each of the cultural regions, as they were influenced by political, economic, social, and cultural factors.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to Textual Scholarship
Book SynopsisAs more and more of our cultural heritage migrates into digital form and as increasing amounts of literature and art are created within digital environments, it becomes more important than ever before for us to understand how the medium affects the text. The expert contributors to this volume provide a clear, engrossing and accessible insight into how the texts we read and study are created, shaped and transmitted to us. They outline the theory behind studying texts in many different forms and offer case studies demonstrating key methodologies underlying the vital processes of editing and presenting texts. Through their multiple perspectives they demonstrate the centrality of textual scholarship to current literary studies of all kinds and express the sheer intellectual excitement of a crucial scholarly discipline entering a new phase of its existence.Trade Review'… a collection of essays from noted authorities … with an informative introduction … a comprehensive description of the various modes of textual scholarship.' SHARP News'In all, a neat introduction to textual studies that offers to the reader a range of ways to think critically about ancient, early modern, and modern texts, from scribal to digital.
