Overview: This book examines the male Romantics‘ versions of poetic authority in theory and practice in the context of their involvement in the political debates of Regency Britain and argues that their response to Burke‘s gendered discourse about power effected radical changes in the definitions of masculinity and femininity. It portrays their influence on each other as a series of unstable struggles and alliances in which the formulation of an authoritative masculinity was a political as well as an aesthetic issue. The author investigates the writers‘ portrayals of women and their collaborat

Overview: A famous French writer, Anatole France, liked to say, "The future is a convenient place to position our dreams" (1927). Indeed, this remark gains full meaning when one considers the history of what we call today "Robotics." For more than 3000 years, mankind has dreamt ofthe possibility of arti­ ficial machines that would have all the advantages of human slaves without any of their drawbacks. With the developments in technology since the end of World War II, mainly with the explosive progress of computers, it was thought we might at last succeed in transforming this everlasting dream

Overview: Investigates whether discourses of poverty are geographically located and whether these locations actually refer to the most statistically-deprived areas.Introduces a new methodological approach, GeogThis book explores a novel methodological approach which combines analytical techniques from linguistics and geography to bring fresh insights to the study of poverty. Using Geographical Text Analysis, it maps the discursive construction of poverty in the UK and compares the results to what administrative data reveal. The analysis draws together qualitative and quantitative techniques fr

Overview: In the years since the pioneering efforts of Sir Edward Appleton, M. A. F. Barnett, G. Breit, and M. A. Thve, many radio techniques have been employed to investigate the terrestrial ionosphere. The purposes of this book are to exam­ ine the basic physical interaction process of radio waves with the ionosphere, scrutinize each of the radio techniques currently in use, and describe the elements of each technique, as well as assess their capabilities and limitations. I have included some of the history of each technique, since we often tend to forget the efforts of the "pioneers". The i

Overview: Während sich die Lehrbuchliteratur zum strategischen Management weitgehend am realitätsfernen Modell des "homo oeconomicus" orientiert, basiert die deskriptive Strategietheorie auf dem Modell der begrenzten Rationalität. In beiden Perspektiven erscheinen reale strategische Entscheidungsprozesse letztendlich als nicht-rational. In diesem Buch wird ein Konzept der Rationalität strategischer Entscheidungsprozesse entwickelt, das zwischen den Klippen der bloß modellhaften Rationalitätskonzeption und dem vollständigen Verlust der Rationalität hindurchsteuert. Zu diesem Zweck wird auf die

Overview: During the last few years, an explosion of infonnation has come from human genetics and molecular and cell biological studies as to the genetic basis for a number of fonns of inherited retinal degenerations. These disorders have plagued mankind for millennia because they take from otherwise healthy individuals the precious gift of sight. The fundamental advances in recent years have identified a number of genes involved in the groups of diseases which hopefully will lead to discoveries that may, in the not too distant future, allow the prevention and possible cure of some of these bl

Overview: Considerations about the existence and nature of God are given far too much weight in contemporary discussions of philosophy of religion.

Overview: This book explores a provocative area of inquiry for critical theory and research into world politics and popular culture: music. Not just because political science barely engages with anything musical, but also because it is clear that many opportunities for critical scholarship and reflection on global politics and economics are present in the spaces and relationships created by organized sound. It is easy to focus on the textual elements of music, but there is more at stake than just the words. Critical reflection on the intersections between music and politics also need to take i
