Seagull Books London Ltd Ecologica
Book SynopsisWriting in 2007, French social philosopher André Gorzwas remarkably prophetic, foretelling the international economic meltdown of 2008: The real economy is becoming an appendage of the speculative bubbles sustained by the finance industryuntil that inevitable point when the bubbles burst, leading to serial bank crashes and threatening the global system of credit with collapse and the real economy with a severe, prolonged depression. This prescient article is collected in Ecologica alongside many of Gorz's final writings and interviews, which together offer practical and often path-breaking set of solutions to our current economic and political problems. In his writings Gorz condemns the speculative global economic system and anatomizes its terminal crisis. Advocating an exit from capitalism through the self-limitation of needs and the networked use of the latest technologies, he outlines a practical, democratically based solution to our current predicament. Compiled by Gorz, Ecologica is intended as a final distillation of his work and thought, a guide to the survival of our planet. It is a work of political, rather than scientific ecologyGorz aruges that the key to planetary survival is not a surrender to environmental experts and eco-technocrats, but a switch to non-consumerist modes of living that would amount to a type of cultural revolution. Praise for André GorzTo my mind the greatest of modern French social thinkers.Herbert Gintis, author of Schooling in Capitalist AmericaGorz's work was always within the Utopian traditiona label he welcomed but which was used pejoratively by his opponents. . . . Many of his derided early warnings about globalization and environmental degradation have become commonplace discourses in political debates today. Ultimately, Gorz's Utopianism was expressed in a very practical sensewe never know how far along the road we are if we have no idea of the destination.Independent

Seagull Books London Ltd Pixel
Book SynopsisLike stars in the sky, pixels may seem like tiny, individual points. But, when viewed from a distance, they can create elaborate images. Each pixel contributes to this array, but no individual point can create the whole. The thirty stories that comprise Krisztina Tóth's book similarly produce an interconnected web. While each tale of love, loss, and failed self-determination narrates the sensuousness of an individual's life, together, the thirty stories tell a more complicated tale of relationships. Circumstances that appear unrelated may converge in harmony or in heartbreak, just as the events that loom largest may fail to produce a longed-for outcome. These threads often determine the course of lives in unpredictable wayssometimes comic, sometimes tragic, but rarely in the ways we originally anticipated.

Liverpool University Press Nazism 19191945 Volume 4 The German Home Front
Book SynopsisIt illuminates the nature of Nazism and the regime it established by documenting politics and life in wartime Germany: government and party, law and terror, welfare and social planning, sex and population policy, women, youth, propoganda, morale and resistance.Trade Review... a triumphant finale to a remarkable publishing enterprise which began life almost a quarter of a century ago ... [and] required reading for anyone in the Anglophone world with an academic interest in Nazism. The immense value of the current, and final, volume in the series lies not so much in the continuing tradition of clearly written text and imaginatively chosen documents, though these virtues survive, as in the fact that much of the history of the home front is still relatively virgin territory. The documentary thread running through the text has to tell a story which cannot easily be discovered from any other source. ... None of the entries is superfluous; each tells a part of the wider story, which is unobtrusively woven around the documents by a deft editorial hand. This is no ordinary document collection. * Times Literary Supplement *Table of Contents Chapter Outline Preface Acknowledgements Abbreviations 40 Government 41 The Nazi Party 42 Law and Terror 43 The Economy 44 Welfare and Social Planning 45 Women 46 Sex and Population Policy 47 Youth 48 Propaganda 49 Morale 50 Resistance 51 Defeat Selective Bibliography Index Chapter 40: Government (i) Introduction (ii) Preparations for War (iii) The Ministerial Council for the Defence of the Reich (iv) Hitler's Rule (v) The Rise of Bormann (vi) The Fragmentation of Government (vii) The Committee of Three (viii) The Reich Chancellery and the Party Chancellery 1943-1945 (ix) Goebbels as Reich Plenipotentiary for Total War Chapter 41: The Nazi Party (i) Introduction (ii) The Mobilization Orders (iii) Gauleiters as Reich Defence Commissioners (RVKs) 1939-1942 (iv) The Assertion of the Party Chancellery's Control over the Party Apparatus (v) The Gauleiters as Reich Defence Commissioners (RVKs) 1942-1945 (vi) Party and State (vii) Party Activities (viii) The Party's Response to the Crisis of 1943: An Attempt to Revive the Atmosphere of the Kampfzeit (ix) Party Ceremonies (x) The Attitude of the Population to the Nazi Party Chapter 42: Law and Terror (i) Introduction (ii) New Penal Legislation (iii) Crime Statistics (iv) Intervention by Hitler and the SS/Police in the Legal Process (v) The 'Guidance' of the Judiciary (vi) Concentration Camps Chapter 43: The Economy (i) Introduction (ii) The Attempt at a Full-Scale Mobilization of the Economy for War 1939-1940 (iii) The Period of Incoherent Planning: June 1940-November 1941 (iv) The Todt-Speer Rationalization Programme 1941-1942 (v) Labour Mobilization 1939-1944 (vi) Economic Collapse Chapter 44: Welfare and Social Planning (i) Introduction (ii) The NSV (iii) Social Planning Chapter 45: Women (i) Introduction (ii) The Nazi Female Organizations (iii) Female Labour (iv) Welfare at Work (v) Gender Issues (vi) Evacuation Chapter 46: Sex and Population Policy (i) Introduction (ii) Population Policy (iii) Female Sexual Behaviour (iv) Homosexuality Chapter 47: Youth (i) Introduction (ii) The Hitler Youth (HJ) and League of German Girls (BdM) (iii) The Military Involvement of Young People (iv) Education (v) The Children's Evacuation Programme (KLV) (vi) Morale and Morals Chapter 48: Propaganda (i) Introduction (ii) The War in Poland and the West 1939-1940 (iii) The War in the East and the Campaign against Bolshevism (iv) 'Total War' (v) The Anti-Jewish Campaign (vi) Air Raids (vii) Retaliation (viii) Radio and Film Chapter 49: Morale (i) Introduction (ii) The Rationing System, Shortages and their Impact on Morale (iii) The Period of Victories 1939-1941 (iv) The Crisis of Winter 1941-1942 (v) The Response to Ideological Indoctrination (vi) The Crisis Winter of 1942-1943 (vii) Air Raids, the Government's Response and the Impact on Morale (viii) Various Forms of Demoralization (ix) The Last Phase 1944-1945 Chapter 50: Resistance (i) Introduction (ii) The Communist Resistance (iii) The Innere Front Group, the Red Orchestra and the Herbert Baum Group (iv) The Resistance by Individuals (v) The Conservative and Military Resistance (vi) The Kreisau Circle (vii) The Plot of 20 July 1944 Chapter 51: Defeat (i) Introduction (ii) The Increased Role of the Party (iii) The Development of Morale: September 1944-March 1945 (iv) The Regime's Response to Declining Morale (v) Hitler's 'Destruction Order' of 19 March 1945 (vi) The Allied Invasions-West and East (vii) The Last Throes of the Nazi Leadership

Liverpool University Press The Owl and the Nightingale Text and Translation
Book SynopsisThe Owl and the Nightingale is one of the first and greatest long comic poems in the English language and one of the best-known and most accomplished of all medieval literary texts.Trade Review"[Cartlidge] provides a complete glossary and exhaustive bibliography, and an entertaining appendix of comparable works on owls, nightingales, hawks and jealous husbands. His parallel-text translation is exemplary: transparent and lucid, and with more claim to expressive grace than Cartlidge makes for it. This is an edition equally valuable for the student and the specialist." (Times Literary Supplement, March 2002) "In preparing this new critical edition of the delightful Middle English debate poem, The Owl and the Nightingale, Cartlidge has followed the principle that 'a book like this one should be able to serve the needs of both experts and novices in medieval literature... Cartlidge's chosen format does indeed enhance the enjoyment of this brilliantly zany work, highly complex both culturally and linguistically, by offering a first approach unencumbered by the weight of scholarly discussion past and present, while making available to those who wish to make use of it a really impressive scholarly apparatus... The Owl and the Nightingale ... provides the lucid and balanced summing up of the editor's conclusions, and ... the reader, whether or not he agrees with Cartlidge, is clearly informed as to the primary and secondary sources should he wish to consult them in support of his own opinion or simply to increase his understanding of the poem." (Notes and Queries, Vol. 50, No. 1, March 2003) "My impression of the Owl and the Nightingale, a thirteenth-century Middle English debate poem, has significantly altered after having read Neil Cartlidge's excellent new edition, with parallel column translation and extensive scholarly apparatus... In the translation, Cartlidge has tried to be as "idiomatic and fluid" (166) as possible. It is accurate, and a welcome aid for anyone, especially novice readers of Middle English... Cartlidge's notes and excellent glossary are there to resolve semantic questions and quibbles." (The Medieval Review, January 2003) "It is a notable coincidence that Exeter University Press should have published within a month or so of each other editions of two of the most celebrated early Middle English poems... Neil Cartlidge's is a very different sort of edition. While every effort had been made to make the text accessible to the nonspecialist, it also has all the qualities expected of a scholarly edition and is certain to become the reference text for The Owl and the Nightingale. The book is clearly designed to accommodate a wide range of readers. The translation, printed in a column facing the original poem (rather than on a facing page), is a pleasant read in its own right, lively and in tune with the spirit of the original; but the proximity of the Middle English constantly entices the eye back to the medieval text, thus encouraging students to engage critically with Cartlidge's interpretation... This makes Cartlidge's edition the ideal classroom textbook, suitable for all levels of students. Even the comprehensive scholarly bibliography at the end of the volume is introduced by a short annotated reading list for non-specialists to take as a starting point for further research... This is scholarship at its best; it will certainly stimulate the interest of a new generation of medievalists in a poem that is as intriguing as it is entertaining."
