U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum The Fenway Effect
Book SynopsisTo be a part of Red Sox Nation is to be a hopeful romantic who neither betrays loyalty nor surrenders hope in the direst of circumstances. From Bangor to Back Bay, New Englanders endure in baseball matters. And life. The team’s history has intersected with the history of Boston and well beyond it, through the Curse of the Bambino, the military service of Ted Williams during World War II, and the Boston Marathon bombing. The Fenway Effect chronicles these stories and others that have built the incredible saga of the Boston Red Sox. How did Cheers depict the passion of Boston’s sports fans? Why is Narragansett beer so important to New England? What’s the architectural impact of The Teammates—the statue of Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky, Ted Williams, and Dom DiMaggio outside Fenway Park? What did the Boston press really think about Red Sox owner Harry Frazee selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees? What was the origin of Fenway Park’s pr

Paperblanks Rose Chronicles Ultra Unlined Softcover Flexi
Book SynopsisLet a swirl of rose amid gilt embellishment inspire you to write your chronicles. This cover design is based on a binding originally published by Salel Binder in Paris in 1514. The tome, Chroniques, was created at a time when books were evolving and binders were using smaller formats that were easier to bind. Pasteboards replaced wood covers and gold tooling grew in popularity.The exuberance of the Chroniques design reflects the sheer splendour of the Renaissance approach to decoration that influenced architecture, art and all facets of cultural life. In the glittering rose-pink of this cover you may well see the intricacies of your own stories or the infinite possibilities of the written word. At minimum, we hope that Rose Chronicles will make you think of Paris, which has for centuries been a centre for art and publishing and a beacon of culture.

Cornell University Press Gleaning for Communism
Book SynopsisGleaning for Communism is a historical ethnography of the property regime upon which Soviet legal scholars legislated a large modern state as a household, with guaranteed rights to a commons of socialist property, rather than private possessions. Starting with former Leningrad workers'' everyday stories about smuggling industrial scrap home over factory fences, Xenia Cherkaev traces collectivist ethical logic that was central to this socialist household economy, in theory and practice: from its Stalin-era inception, through Khrushchev''s major foregrounding of communist ethics, to Gorbachev''s perestroika, which unfurled its grounding tension between the interests of any given collective and of the socialist household economy itself. A story of how the socialist household economy functioned, how it collapsed, and how it was remembered, this book is haunted throughout by a spectral image of the totalitarian state, whose jealous political control over the Table of ContentsIntroduction: Households and Historiographies 1.

John Wiley & Sons Red Dead Redemption
Book SynopsisRockstar Games’ Red Dead franchise has grown into one of the most critically acclaimed video game franchises of the twenty-first century. This book offers a critical, interdisciplinary look at this cultural phenomenon at the intersection of game studies and American history.Trade Review“Video games like the Red Dead series have supercharged the significance of (re)imagined Wests and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Like the amply filled satchels and saddle bags of Red Harlow, Arthur Morgan, and John Marson, this collection has you covered, delivering an exquisitely intersectional range of scholarly work on a paradigm-shifting addition to the Western imaginary in the 21st century. Saddle up, pard! Your trail to exploring video-game Wests should start here.”——Stefan “Steve” Rabitsch, Associate Professor of American Studies at the University of Oslo, co-founder of the European Association for American Studies “West of the Rest” network“This volume is a timely intervention that explores one of the biggest historical game franchises through a myriad of lenses that demonstrate the complexity and impact of the games and the discourses from which they draw. In their careful arrangement of the book, Wills and Wright have shown how video games, and in particular Red Dead, are the new frontier for the ongoing construction of the historical West in both the US and international imaginary.”—Adam Chapman“This collection provides a wide-ranging treatment of Rockstar’s Red Dead franchise. The essays here offer serious meditation on a persistent fascination with the mythic West in the popular imagination. Overall, a valuable contribution to the growing field of contemporary (and historical) game studies.”—Matthew Carter, Senior Lecturer in Film at Manchester Metropolitan University and author of Myth of the Western: New Perspectives on Hollywood's Frontier Narrative.

University of Toronto Press Perfume on the Page in NineteenthCentury France
Book SynopsisDespite long-standing assertions that languages, including French and English, cannot sufficiently communicate the experience of smell, much of France’s nineteenth-century literature has gained praise for its memorable evocation of odours. As French perfume was industrialized, democratized, cosmeticized, and feminized in the nineteenth century, stories of fragrant scent trails aligned perfume with toxic behaviour and viewed a woman’s scent as something alluring, but also something to be controlled.Drawing on a wealth of resources, Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France explores how fiction and related writing on olfaction meet, permeate, and illuminate one another. The book examines medical tracts, letters, manuscripts, posters, print advertisements, magazine articles, perfume manuals, etiquette books, interviews, and encounters with fragrant materials themselves. Cheryl Krueger explores how the olfactory language of a novel or poem conveys the Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface and Acknowledgments Notes on Translations, Spelling, Editions, Illustrations, and Previously Published Material Introduction: Something in the Air 1.

Book SynopsisShedding light on the origins of the Second World War in Europe, Stalin’s Gamble aims to create a historical narrative of the relations of the USSR with Britain, France, the United States, Poland, Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Romania during the 1930s. The book explores the Soviet Union’s efforts to organize a defensive alliance against Nazi Germany, in effect rebuilding the anti-German Entente of the First World War.Drawing on extensive research in Soviet as well as Western archives, Michael Jabara Carley offers an in-depth account of the diplomatic manoeuvrings which surrounded the rise of Hitler and Soviet efforts to construct an alliance against future German aggression. Paying close attention to the beliefs and interactions of senior politicians and diplomats, the book seeks to replace one-sided Western histories with records from both sides. The book also offers an inside look at Soviet foreign policy making, with a focus on Stalin as a foreTrade Review“Stalin’s Gamble is a remarkable reconstruction not only of Soviet foreign policy but of an entire era that led to the enormous suffering of the Second World War.

University of Toronto Press Naturalisms Imaginary Museum French Art and the
Book SynopsisNaturalism''s Imaginary Museum, French Art, and the Eclectic Nineteenth Century examines one of the most revered art historical narratives of Western art: the famous turning point for painting and sculpture usually emblematized by the works of Édouard Manet and then the Impressionists. Instead of the usual revaluation of this turning point, Sara Pappas argues for the importance of the failure to find a cohesive story for the art world in the period itself, a difficulty that carries forward to galleries today. In order to demonstrate the importance of incongruity and disorder, Pappas brings together two worlds that may seem incompatible: nineteenth-century literary writers involved in naturalism and the organization of permanent collections of later nineteenth-century French art in today’s museums. Drawing on the art novels and art criticism of these writers, the book provides optimal access to the questions that continue to haunt the categorization and display

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Advanced Introduction to Business and Human
Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.Focusing on the adoption of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in 2011, this timely book charts the field of business and human rights, finding that corporate responsibility to respect human rights is gradually evolving into a binding legal duty in both national and international law. Following the structure of the UNGPs, Peter T. Muchlinski also covers the state duty to protect against business violations of human rights, the corporate responsibility to respect human rights and access to remedies for corporate violations of human rights.Key Features: A detailed, critical, appraisal of the UNGPs in their historical, legal and political contexts Coverage of developments in national law and policy to further the state’s duty to protect against business violations of human rights An interdisciplinary perspective drawing on history, law, business ethics, politics, and ideas of corporate governance with a view to introducing the field to readers with diverse specialist backgrounds Coverage of new directions for business and human rights including calls for new mandatory corporate liability laws, a legally binding international treaty and new multi stakeholder initiatives for developing business and human rights standards This Advanced Introduction will be a key guide for students and researchers in the fields of business and human rights, international law and business ethics, as well as lawyers and business managers who need an accessible primer to business and human rights.Trade Review‘Peter Muchlinski’s book provides the perfect companion to business and human rights for students new to the subject, established scholars, practitioners and policy-makers alike. Complex issues and wide-ranging scholarship are rendered clearly and synthetically, key principles and developments flagged, while contradictions and lacunae transparently acknowledged. An invaluable addition to the business and human rights field.’ -- Claire O'Brien, University of Dundee, UK‘A pioneer in the field of business and human rights who famously predicted the legal implications of the UN Guiding Principles, Peter Muchlinski's new book confirms the depth of his scholarship and unparalleled insight into a complex, fast-moving and interdisciplinary area of law. He has distilled decades of law, policy and practice into an engaging “advanced introduction” that will inspire new generations of lawyers while serving as a vital refresher for more seasoned practitioners involved in its further development.’ -- Rae Lindsay, Clifford Chance, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Chronicle Books You Already Have the Answers: A Guided Gratitude
Book SynopsisBack in 2016, tv series and New York Times–bestselling comic writer Amanda Deibert inadvertently started a social media movement when she began posing questions to her Twitter followers, intended to spark a little positivity, gratitude, and connection. When her questions started to regularly go viral, reaching up to 11 million impressions in under a week, what began as a simple social experiment ballooned into a now 5-year-long project. YOU ALREADY HAVE THE ANSWERS is a daily gratitude journal with the author’s personal narrative intertwined to prompt reflection, inspired by her questions on Twitter. Users are invited to reflect on a single question each day—ranging from offbeat to motivational, but always deeply encouraging (think of Amanda as “part–Mr. Rogers, part-foul-mouthed, cool aunt”)—curated around a different theme each month. Amanda uses her own life experience to illustrate that endings are new beginnings, and that our lives are full of lessons and wisdom we may not even know we have. Combined with her daily prompting, this journal is a guide to discovering just how much you already know, and how much you have to be grateful for.
