Letters for the Ages Behind Bars - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Letters for the Ages Behind Bars - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Letters for the Ages Behind Bars is a history of imprisonment told through the letters of people incarcerated over many centuries, for crimes committed or sometimes even for no reason at all. It is a story that runs from St Paul right up to the present day. The act of depriving someone of their liberty is one of humankind’s most enduring responses to ‘crime’ through history. What society has sought to achieve over the years by doing so has shifted across the centuries and there is now a variety of purposes: to express disapproval; for the purpose of straight-up punishment through the removal of freedom; to protect the general public; to rehabilitate, perhaps even to forget about those with whom we simply cannot cope. The letters assembled here come from all parts of the world, and from time immemorial: Thomas Cromwell, Mary Queen of Scots, Eamon De Valera, Al Capone, Martin Luther King and many more.These letters not only reveal what it is like to be behind bars, but raise issues that are still of pressing interest for us today - such as the death penalty, miscarriages of justice, redemption and social change. They shed light on a system which is primarily one of contradictions – there are letters which inspire, horrify, letters which awe and condemn – even letters which make you laugh or cry.

The Parallel Philosophies of Sartre and Nietzsche - Nik Farrell Fox - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Parallel Philosophies of Sartre and Nietzsche - Nik Farrell Fox - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

How did Nietzsche and Sartre come to represent alternative modes of philosophy as antithetical thinkers? What exactly is their philosophical connection and how far does it extend? Tracing the connections between the existentialist philosophies of Nietzsche and Sartre, Nik Farrell Fox provides new readings attuned to questions of the self, politics and ethics. From their earliest to final writings, Fox brings into critical view the full trajectory of their lives and philosophy to reveal the underexplored parallels that connect them. Through engaging with new Nietzsche and Sartre studies as authoritative strands of interpretation, this book identifies both philosophers as twin thinkers of a deconstructive and paradoxical logic. Fox further re-examines their work in light of contemporary debates concerning posthumanism, vibrant materialism, quantum theory and speculative realism. The Parallel Philosophies of Sartre and Nietzsche presents two iconic existentialists as thoroughly contemporary thinkers whose complex, rich, and sometimes-ambiguous philosophy, can illuminate our present posthuman reality.

Synoptic Perspectives - Dr. Lydie Kucova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Synoptic Perspectives - Dr. Lydie Kucova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book compares and contrasts several parallel passages in the Hebrew Bible that relate to the David narratives. Lydie Kucová examines various ancient versions of the books of Samuel-Kings and Chronicles, showing how the David story is told differently across these textual witnesses. Beginning with a review of the previous scholarly synopses of these passages, Kucová outlines the main characteristics of the particular ancient versions that are significant for her study (Masoretic text, Dead Sea scrolls, Septuagint, Targums, Peshitta and Josephus related to the books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles). She then proceeds to compare elements of the two separate accounts of David''s reign, such as Saul''s death, the Philistine campaigns, the transfer of the Ark, among others. Rather than imply any correlation between the texts, Kucová instead provides a parallel of David narratives for more convenient in-depth study.

The Plays from Alienation and Freedom - Frantz Fanon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Plays from Alienation and Freedom - Frantz Fanon - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Prior to becoming a psychiatrist, Frantz Fanon wanted to be a playwright and his interest in dialogue, dramatisation and metaphor continued throughout his writing and career. His passion for theatre developed during the years that he was studying medicine, and in 1949 he wrote the plays The Drowning Eye ( L’Œil se noie ), and Parallel Hands ( Les Mains parallèles ). This first English translation of the works gives us a Fanon at his most lyrical, experimental and provocative.

Road Rollers - Derek A. Rayner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Well-surfaced roads are essential to a growing industrial nation and, as roadmaking in Britain improved from the late eighteenth century, heavy rollers hauled by men or horses were used to compact the surface. Steam power was first used to propel road rollers in the 1860s and thereafter there was rapid development, in parallel with that of the traction engine. This book outlines the development of steam rollers, with some technical details, and illustrates the different types.

It sets out to understand how, across their different material dimensions, bars, cafés, nightclubs, pubs, community centres have been imagined, created and sustained. From the 1980s to the present, Campkin asks how, where, and why these venues have been established, how they operate and the purposes they serve, what challenges they face and why they close down.

Cause and Consideration - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cause and Consideration - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a comprehensive study of two parallel notions of civil and common law: cause and consideration. It does this in three ways; with historical, comparative, and functional perspectives. Aspects of cause and consideration are hotly contested by contract lawyers and this book will bring clarity by looking at the English and Continental positions. Key areas of focus include: enforceability, questions of legality and morality, contractual justice, and the correction of unjustified property displacements. Bringing together a team of experts, the book discusses (in some cases for the first time in English) complex questions of both academic and practical importance.

Criminal and Quasi-criminal Enforcement Mechanisms in Europe - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Criminal and Quasi-criminal Enforcement Mechanisms in Europe - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book looks at the interplay between criminal and other branches of public law pursuing similar objectives (referred to as ‘quasi-criminal law’). The need for clarifying the concepts and the interlink between criminal and quasi-criminal enforcement is a topic attracting a lot of discussion and debate both in academia and practice across Europe (and beyond). This volume adds to this debate by bringing to light the substantive and procedural problems stemming from the current parallel or dual use of the different enforcement systems. The collection draws on expertise from academia, practice and policy; its high-quality analysis will appeal to scholars, practitioners and policymakers alike.
