Magna Carta

Magna Carta

This new history is the first to tell the story of Magna Carta ‘through the ages’. No other general work traces its continuing importance in England’s political consciousness. Many books have examined the circumstances surrounding King John’s grant of Magna Carta in 1215. Very few trace the Charter’s legacy to subsequent centuries and even fewer look at the fate of the physical document. Turner also underlines its great influence outside the United Kingdom especially in North America. Today the Charter enjoys greater prestige in the United States the land of lawyers than in Britain. U. S. citizens claim Magna Carta as a source of their liberties guaranteeing ‘due process of law’ and condemning ‘executive privilege’.

Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Based on a fresh reading of primary sources Lindy Grant's comprehensive biography of Abbot Suger (1081-1151) provides a reassessment of a key figure of the twelfth century. Active in secular and religious affairs alike - Suger was Regent of France and also abbot of one of the most important abbeys in Europe during the time of the Gregorian reforms. But he is primarily remembered as a great artistic patron whose commissions included buildings in the new Gothic style. Lindy Grant reviews him in all these roles - and offers a corrective to the current tendency to exaggerate his role as architect of both French royal power and the new gothic form. | Abbot Suger of St-Denis Church and State in Early Twelfth-Century France

Hypnosis and Imagination

Hypnosis and Imagination

The book's first three chapters-by Sheehan and Robertson; Wagstaff; Council Kirsch and Grant - conclude that three different factors turn imagination into hypnosis. The next three chapters-by Lynn Neufeld Green Rhue and Sandberg; Rader Kunzendorf and Carrabino; and Barrett-explore the hypnotic and the clinical significance of absorption in imagination. Three subsequent chapters-by Coe; Gwynn and Spanos; and Gorassini-examine the role of compliance and imagination in various hypnotic phenomena. Pursuing the possibility that some hypnotic hallucinations are experienced differently from normal images the following two chapters-by Perlini Spanos and Jones; and Kunzendorf and Boisvert-focus on negative hallucinating which reportedly blocks out perceptual reality. The remaining three chapters-by Wallace and Turosky; Crawford; and Persinger-pursue other physiological differences and possible physiological connections between hypnosis and imagination.

South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

In mid-March 1992 a group of forty scholars journalists strategists and government officials met in Kathmandu Nepal to assess the post-Cold War world. The meeting marked both a summing up and a beginning. Many of the conference participants had been associated at one time or another with the Program in Arms Control Disarmament and International Security (A CD IS) at the University of lllinois at Urbana-Champaign. Founded in 1978 ACDIS had from its very first year recruited scholars from South Asia (and scholars working on South Asia). Much of this work was supported by a continuing grant from the Ford Foundation (which also contributed major support for the Kathmandu meeting) but lllinois was also home for a number of Fulbright and Asia Foundation grantees. 1 The meeting in Kathmandu provided an opportunity for these individuals to again meet with each other and with faculty and staff associated with ACDIS. | South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

The Media and the Public Sphere A Deliberative Model of Democracy

The Media and the Public Sphere A Deliberative Model of Democracy

At the heart of modern democracy lies the public sphere which is most centrally shaped by those actors that integrate it discursively: the mass media. The media draw together the different strands of political debates; they grant access to some actors and arguments while excluding others and thus decisively mould the political process. In this book Thomas Häussler examines how the media reflect and react to the wider context in which they are embedded. More specifically he focuses on whether their discourse demonstrates systematic differences with regard to the two main public sphere types that they co-constitute according to deliberative theory focussing in particular on the work of Jürgen Habermas. The Media and the Public Sphere promotes a deeper and more detailed understanding of the political process by foregrounding the complex relationships between the media and the public discourse they constitute. It examines how the media co-create relationships of power analyses the structure of these discursive networks and illuminates the effects that different deliberative coalition types have on political debates. | The Media and the Public Sphere A Deliberative Model of Democracy

Philanthropy and Society

Philanthropy and Society

A comprehensive introduction to the field of philanthropy Philanthropy and Society challenges the reader to think deeply about the role of philanthropic institutions in shaping and bettering the communities they serve and civil society as a whole. While all agree that the function of philanthropic organizations is to maximize the impact of grant making there is little consensus on how to do that. This book focuses on two trends that have emerged: strategic philanthropy and increasing diversity equity and inclusion in philanthropy. Amidst persistent societal inequities the proliferation of philanthropy leaves one wondering about the potential of this expanding industry to influence social change as well as include constituents beyond donors and their staff. The book offers several case studies of different types of foundations from around the world that demonstrate several tactics used to develop plans that are both strategic and inclusive. Upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of philanthropy as well as professionals will come away from this book with a more nuanced and practical sense of the challenging questions the field of philanthropy faces and the different ways they can be tackled.

Theory and Experiment in Syntax

Theory and Experiment in Syntax

This book reflects on key questions of enduring interest on the nature of syntax bringing together Grant Goodall’s previous publications and new work exploring how syntactic representations are structured and the affordances of experimental techniques in studying them. The volume sheds light on central issues in the theory of syntax while also elucidating the methods of data collection which inform them. Featuring Goodall’s previous studies of linguistic phenomena in English Spanish and Chinese and complemented by a new introduction and material specific to this volume the book is divided into four sections around fundamental strands of syntactic theory. The four parts explore the dimensionality of syntactic representations; the relationship between syntactic structure and predicate-argument structure; interactions between subjects and wh-phrases in questions; and more detailed investigations of wh-dependencies but from a more overtly experimental perspective. Taken together the volume reinforces the connections between these different aspects of syntax by highlighting their respective roles in defining what syntactic objects look like and how the grammar operates on them. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars in linguistics particularly those with an interest in syntax psycholinguistics and Romance linguistics. | Theory and Experiment in Syntax

Académie Royale A History in Portraits

Académie Royale A History in Portraits

From its establishment in 1648 until its disbanding in 1793 after the French Revolution the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture was the centre of the Parisian art world. Taking the reader behind the scenes of this elite bastion of French art theory education and practice this engaging study uncovers the fascinating histories - official and unofficial - of that artistic community.
