Nevada Politics and Government: Conservatism in an Open

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Driggs, Don W. / Goodall, Leonard E., PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, Nevada's highly individualistic political culture has produced a conservative political philosophy in an open society. Economic developments resulting from mining and gambling reinforced and heightened the individualistic ethic that many early settlers brought to the frontier state. This ethic is also evident in the opposition of most Nevadans to big government, big labor, and big business. Belief in limited government partially explains the apparent anomaly of the electorate's backing a pro-choice position on abortion while opposing the Equal Rights Amendment. The book discusses the important roles played by Nevada's present U.S. senators in two of the state's ongoing controversies with the federal government: the longstanding water rights dispute between Native Americans, backed by the federal government, and Nevada's ranchers; and the decade-long fight against the establishment of the nation's first permanent nuclear waste depository at Yucca Mountain.

On the Extent and Aims of a National Museum of Natural

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Owen, Richard, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, A significant limitation on the development of zoology, botany and palaeontology in the mid-nineteenth century was the absence of a centralised collection of specimens. Appointed superintendent of the British Museum's natural history departments in , the distinguished biologist Richard Owen () quickly realised the need to make various scattered samples more readily available for study, and began campaigning for a new, national museum with unprecedented space and resources. This book is the text of one of his speeches to the Royal Institution, given in and first published in . He argues against the usual practice of exhibiting only one type form for each genus, provides possible floor plans, and presents case studies across the zoological field which show the limitations of the then current system. He also stresses a new idea, that such a museum should aim not only to help scientists, but to educate the general public.

The Modernist Short Story: A Study in Theory and Practice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Head, Dominic, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The modernist period saw a revolution in fictional practice, most famously in the work of novelists such as Joyce and Woolf. Dominic Head shows that the short story, with its particular stress on literary artifice, was a central site for modernist innovation. Working against a conventional approach and towards a more rigourous and sophisticated theory of the genre, using a framework drawn from Althusser and Bakhtin, he examines the short story's range of formal effects, such as the disunifying function of ellipsis and ambiguity. Separate chapters on Joyce, Woolf and Katherine Mansfield highlight their strategies of formal dissonance, involving a conflict of voices within the narrative. Finally, Dominic Head's challenging conclusion takes the implications of his study into the age of postmodernism. Acquista Ora

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Malacrida, Claudia, PUBLISHER: Left Coast Press, Mourning the Dreams is an accessible and moving account of parentsa experiences of grief and recovery after losing an infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or within the first month of life. Drawing from the sociology of emotions, health research and psychology, her own experience, and a range of qualitative methods, Claudia Malacrida finds that bereaved parents not only grieve their child and its unrealized potential, but often find their personal experiences are at odds with social forces and prevailing assumptions about the nature of their loss and how they should react to is.

The Battles of Jericho

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Penetcost, Hugh, PUBLISHER: Crippen & Landru Publishers, Hugh Pentecost, the pseudonym of Judson Philips (), created one of the most memorable of fictional sleuths in the red-bearded artist, John Jericho. The stories combine interesting settings, skillful puzzles, social concerns, and earnest melodrama. Jericho's paintings reflect his anger against social injustice and violence, and his search for Truth; and when the downtrodden, the unfairly accused, and (frequently) a damsel in distress seek his help, he is willing to enter the fray. Jericho's skills as a detective are his skills as an artist. His painter's eye picks up details that others miss. And the energy he puts on his canvasses is reflected in the physical energy with which he fights for Truth. The 15 stories in The Battles of Jericho, written between and , are filled with the social unrest of that turbulent era, tempered with Jericho's (and Pentecost's) belief in individual responsibility. The Battles of Jericho is the 26th in Crippen & Landru's "Lost Class

Latin Language and Latin Culture: From Ancient to Modern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Farrell, Joseph / Feeney, D. C. / Hinds, Stephen, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The Latin language is popularly imagined in a number of specific ways: as a masculine language, an imperial language, a classical language, a dead language. This book considers the sources of these metaphors and analyzes their effect on how Latin literature is read. By reading with and more commonly against these metaphors, the book offers a different view of Latin as a language and as a vehicle for cultural practice. The argument ranges over a variety of texts in Latin and texts about Latin from antiquity to the twentieth century.

Forced Exit: The Slippery Slope from Assisted Suicide to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Wesley J., PUBLISHER: Spence Publishing Company, Piercing the emotionalism, fear-mongering, and euphemisms of the assisted-suicide movement, Wesley Smith's new book exposes the attempt to strip the sick and disabled of their human dignity. One of the nation's leading writers on euthanasia delivers a badly needed dose of clear thinking and genuine compassion. Through original reporting, exhaustive research, historical analysis, and extensive interviews, Smith makes a compelling case against legalizing assisted suicide. He explores the truly humane and compassionate alternatives that can change a death wish into a desire to live. The first comprehensive response to the assisted-suicide movement, Forced Exit changed the debate when it was originally published eight years ago. Now thoroughly revised and updated to keep pace with the movement's advance, this important book provides chilling evidence of how powerful and dangerous the death culture in America has become.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ogden, Thomas H., PUBLISHER: Jason Aronson, Explains the patient's identification in treatment with a significant other for purposes of mastering traumatic experiences. 'This book is a clear, constructive, and instructive treatment of an important observation. It is also an example of clinical sophistication of the very highest order.' DJeffrey J. Andresen 'A major strength of this book is that it addresses the difficult situations that arise in treatment when projection is at play. The difficult feelings aroused in the projective introjective interplay are explored and the therapist is cautioned repeatedly against using untimely interpretations rather than therapeutic containment and holding feelings in reverie.' The patient needs the space to grow and Ogden is quite sensitive to this process.' DJanet Schumacher Finell A Jason Aronson Book

Switzerland: A Guide to Recent Architecture

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hildebrandt, Thomas / Huber, Maja / Huber, Maya, PUBLISHER: Ellipsis Arts, The selection of projects in this guide aims to provide an insight into around 100 projects with access for visitors. Many of the projects are located far from the bustle of cities, making it easy to combine a skiing or hiking holiday with an architectural excursion -- Switzerland has a finely-tuned tourist industry. Those not entirely satisfied by the architecture will have the consolation of the stunning landscapes. The past two decades have seen an extraordinary number of innovative buildings realised by a generation of young Swiss architects. Reacting against the light-hearted and colourful imagery of post-modernism, the fragmentation of deconstructivism, and the accelerating fashion in styles of building, architects are looking towards a more generic architecture, an architecture searching for articulation devoid of predetermined formal meanings -- an architecture without style.
