Routledge Revivals: The Psychology of Totalitarian Political Propaganda (Routledge Revivals)
by Serge ChakotinFirst published in French in 1939, and later in English in 1940, this work by the author, analyses and strongly critiques the effect of Nazi propaganda on the psychology of the masses. By bringing together the political and the psychological, the author refers to the use of propaganda in order to serve the ends of a handful of men as ‘psychical rape’ and warns that this phenomenon cannot be attributed solely to the Nazi regime. The English translation was updated to account for the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. It will be of great interest to anyone studying the Second World War, Nazism, Fascism and the psychology of propaganda.
Johnson without Boswell: A Contemporary Portrait of Samuel Johnson (Routledge Revivals)
by Hugh KingsmillFirst published in 1940, Johnson without Boswell is about Samuel Johnson, the dictator of eighteenth-century English letters. It has become almost axiomatic never to mention that mammoth of wit and wisdom without linking him at least in thought with his great biographer, James Boswell. But there were others who knew him well, and who set down what they knew – among them Johnson himself in his letters and autobiographical fragments, his great friend Mrs. Thale in her Anecdotes, and Sir John Hawkins in his Life. From these and others, excerpted and skilfully pieced together in this volume by Hugh Kingsmill, there emerges a portrait of Johnson more domestic and less alarming than Boswell’s. But something of curmudgeon still, who could terrorise his table-companions by brandishing a knife and bellowing that by God he could eat a bit more. The result is a volume richly readable and informative, which can be read with pleasure either wholly or in part, especially by students of English literature.

On a Darkling Plain (Routledge Revivals)
by Harvey Curtis WebsterOriginally published in 1947 and presenting the famed poet-novelist against the background of contemporary thought and society, Harvey Curtis Webster shows that Hardy's later works give consistent evidence of hope; that pervasive pessimism was by no means the keynote of Hardy's thought. On a Darkling Plain traces the evolution of Hardy's thought, from faith, through disillusionment, to a cautious belief in the ultimate progress of man.

Latin American Documentary Narratives: The Intersections of Storytelling and Journalism in Contemporary Literature
by Liliana Chávez DíazWhat defines the boundary between fact and fabrication, fiction and nonfiction, literature and journalism? Latin American Documentary Narratives unpacks the precarious testimonial relationship between author and subject, where the literary journalist, rather than the subject being interviewed, can become the hero of a narrative in its recording and retelling.Latin American Documentary Narratives covers a variety of nonfiction genres from the 1950s to the 2000s that address topics such as social protests, dictatorships, natural disasters, crime and migration in Latin America. This book analyzes – and includes an appendix of interviews with – authors who have not previously been critically read together, from the early and emblematic works of Gabriel García Márquez and Elena Poniatowska to more recent authors, like Leila Guerriero and Juan Villoro, who are currently reshaping media and audiences in Latin America. In a world overwhelmed by data production and marked by violent acts against those considered 'others', Liliana Chávez Díaz argues that storytelling plays an essential role in communication among individuals, classes and cultures.

Man unterscheidet zwei Bezeichnungssysteme, eines für Fahrwasser und eines für Untiefen außerhalb bezeichneter Fahrwasser.

The Story of a Life: Volumes 1–3
by Konstantin PaustovskyDiscover one of Twentieth-Century Russia's most lauded lost classics, now in a remarakble new translation.'Outstanding... A sparkling, supremely precious literary achievement' Telegraph'One of the great Russian autobiographies, as fresh now as the day it was written - and the day it was lived' Julian BarnesIn 1943, Konstantin Paustovsky, the Soviet Union's most revered author, started out on his masterwork - The Story of a Life; a grand, novelistic memoir of a life lived on the fast-unfurling frontiers of Russian history. Eventually published over six volumes, it would cement Paustovsky's reputation as the voice of Russia around the world, and see him nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Newly translated by Guggenheim fellow Douglas Smith, Vintage Classics are proud to reintroduce the first three books of Paustovsky's epic for a whole new generation. Taking its reader from Paustovsky's Ukrainian youth, struggling with a family on the verge of collapse and the first flourishes of creative ambition, to his experiences working as a paramedic on Russia's frontlines and then as a journalist covering the country's violent spiral into revolution, The Story of a Life offers a portrait of an artistic journey like no other.As richly dramatic as the great Russian novels of the 19th and 20th centuries, but all the more powerful for its first-hand testament to one of history's most chaotic eras, The Story of Life is a uniquely dazzling achievement of modern literature.

Projektierung und Rationalisierung von Kohlenbergwerken
by Alois RimanIn einer Zeit ständig steigenden Energie- und Rohstoffbedarfes hat die Kohle trotz der Erschließung anderer Quellen ihre Bedeutung als Energieträger und Grundstoff für die Industrie behalten. Mehr denn je ist es aber angesichts der Konkurrenz notwendig, die rationellsten Methoden in der Gewinnung der Kohle anzuwenden, bestehende Bergbaue zu rationalisieren und zu mechanisieren und durch Konzentration optimale Bedingungen für höchste Arbeitsproduktivität und niedrigste Kosten zu schaffen. Ob es sich um die Projektierung neuer Gruben oder Horizonte handelt oder viel häufiger um die Rationalisierung bestehender Betriebe: der Erfolg des Unternehmens in allen seinen technischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Auswirkungen während der ganzen Betriebszeit hängt von der Vollkommenheit des zugrunde liegenden Projektes und damit von den Kenntnissen und Fähigkeiten des projektierenden Technikers ab. Er wird neben der gründlichen Erfahrung in allen bergmännischen Arbeiten, besonders der Gewinnung, auch Kenntnisse der Rationalisierungs methoden und darüber hinaus Verständnis für die wirtschaftlichen Zusammenhänge im großen besitzen müssen. Beides, Methoden und wirtschaftliche Zusammenhänge, habe ich in dem vorliegenden Buch darzustellen versucht. Ich stütze mich dabei auf die Ergebnisse einer durch Jahrzehnte fortgeführten wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung der technischen und wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen der Projektierung und Rationalisierung und auf deren Auswertung in der Praxis des Ostrau Karwiner Reviers. Gewiß sind gerade im Bergbau lokale und nationale Gegebenheiten stark differenziert. Ich habe mich bemüht, die allgemein gültigen Richtlinien zu geben, die nach den speziellen Erfordernissen der einzelnen Projekte ohne Schwierigkeiten variiert werden können. Die deutsche Ausgabe dieses Buches erscheint auf Anregung d~mtscher Bergingenieure, besonders des Herrn Bergdirektors Bergrat h. c. Dipl.

The Word: On the Translation of the Bible
by Dr John BartonFrom the Sunday Times bestselling author of A History of the Bible, this is the story of how the Bible has been translated, and why it mattersThe Bible is held to be both universal and specific, the source of fundamental truths inscribed in words that are exact and sacred. For much of the history of Judaism and almost the entirety of Christianity, however, believers have overwhelmingly understood scripture not in the languages in which it was first written but rather in their own - in translation.This book examines how saints, scholars and interpreters from ancient times down to the present have produced versions of the Bible in the language of their day while remaining true to the original. It explains the challenges they negotiated, from minute textual ambiguities up to the sweep of style and stark differences in form and thought between the earliest writings and the latest, and it exposes the bearing these have on some of the most profound questions of faith: the nature of God, the existence of the soul and possibility of its salvation.Reading dozens of renderings alongside their ancient Hebrew and Greek antecedents, John Barton traces the migration of biblical words and ideas across linguistic borders, illuminating original meanings as well as the ways they were recast. 'Translators have been among the principal agents in mediating the Bible's message,' he writes, 'even in shaping what that message is.' At the separation of Christianity from Judaism and Protestantism from Catholicism, Barton demonstrates, vernacular versions did not only spring from fault lines in religious thinking but also inspired and moulded them. The product of a lifetime's study of scripture, The Word itself reveals the central book of our culture anew - as it was written and as we know it.
Funktechnik: Grundlagen der Sende-, Empfangs- und Funkortungstechnik
by Robert Richard KühnDas vorliegende Buch wurde für die Ausbildung des Funkpersonals und der Funk techniker in der kommerziellen Technik und in anderen Fachgebieten außerhalb der Unterhaltungstechnik geschrieben. Besonderer Wert wurde auf die Erarbeitung der Grundlagen gelegt, auf die heute weniger denn je verzichtet werden kann. Es wird jedoch vorausgesetzt, daß der Leser mit den einfachen Grundgesetzen der Elektrotechnik bereits vertraut ist. Unter weitgehendem Verzicht auf mathematische Hilfsmittel werden alle z. Z. in der Funktechnik angewendeten Prinzipien erläutert, sofern deren Kennmis für die Praxis nützlich erschien. Unter anderem wird gezeigt, daß sich die Vielfalt der physikalischen Vorgänge auf verhälmismäßig wenig grundsätzliche Erscheinungen zurückführen läßt, die überall in der Elektrotechnik zu finden sind. Neben der Vermittlung der Grundlagen werden viele praktische Hinweise fur das Arbeiten mit Funkanlagen gegeben. Diese Teile des Buches werden auch von dem bereits in der Praxis stehenden Funk personal mit Gewinn gelesen werden, zumal die neuesten Erkenntnisse und Er fahrungen ausgewertet wurden. In einer weiteren Veröffentlichung sollen gerätekundliehe Themen behandelt werden.
Routledge Revivals: How They Work and How to Work Them (Routledge Revivals)
by Edgar AnsteyFirst published in 1963, Edgar Anstey’s work gives a detailed account on the inner workings of the committee. Within a committee, different interests nearly always need to be represented when a decision must be taken, and contributions are required from people of different outlook or expert knowledge. A committee is often the only means of achieving a workable solution to a problem. This book attempts to analyse the functioning of different kinds of committee groups and to bring out the factors which make for efficiency and inefficiency. Types of committee and their purpose are discussed, as well as how to lead a discussion to bring out a genuine group view, the roles of chairman and secretary, how individuals influence committee decisions, good and bad tactics, and how to deal with difficult members.
