Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II Volume II

Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II Volume II

The years 1890-1945 saw an unprecedented outpouring of fiction focused on British university life much of it reflecting the drastic change that had swept through the higher education system in the late nineteenth century. Among these narratives a significant subgroup focused on the lives of women students newly admitted to the structures of higher education system their presence still stridently and sometimes even violently opposed especially at Oxbridge. These novels and short stories collected here largely unknown today were widely discussed and debated in the public sphere during the early twentieth century contributing not only to the formation of public knowledge and opinion about education through cultural figures like the ‘Girton Girl’ or the ‘undergraduette ’ but also sparking debate about many wider social and cultural issues from the place of the women writer in the literary scene to the emergence of new discourses around psychology and the body. The majority have not been reprinted since their original publication and until now have been rarely available to scholars. The publication of Women’s University Narratives 1890-1945 therefore provides a major new resource for scholarship in many areas including women’s studies educational history and literary and cultural modernism. | Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II Volume II

Early Framers of Tourism Knowledge Volume II

Early Framers of Tourism Knowledge Volume II

This book emphasises the work the remarkable contributions and the lifetime achievements of internationally respected scholars who have made lifelong contribution to advancing tourism studies and the dissemination of tourism–based knowledge and education across the world. Strengthening a field and its ability to form the own traditions is undoubtedly possible with a bridge to be established between the past present and future. The capacity of research carried out today and in the future is built on the outputs of education and research completed in the past adding new links to the chain. The history of tourism studies and education dates to the early years of the 20th century and began recording a momentum in its second half. There is therefore a lot more to do in terms of the institutionalization of such a young and dynamic field and this book aims to introduce tourism scholars with their widest geographical representation dating from the first years of tourism research back in the early 1900s. Volume II of IV includes tributes to 20 scholars who have defined tourism as an object of academic study established its foundations and organisations and widened its scope to encompass thousands of empirical studies. Each of these volumes contains different profiles thereby bringing 80 of the pioneers in tourism more vividly to life.

Metal and Ceramic Biomaterials Volume II: Strength and Surface

Metal and Ceramic Biomaterials Volume II: Strength and Surface

The understanding of the in vivo performance of synthetic materials is largely dependent upon a profound knowledge of the properties of the materials in question. Analogous to materials science in its broadest sense the basis for biomaterials science is formed by microstructural there. It is therefore that in this series on structure property relationships in biomaterials a substantial part is devoted to the analysis of the basic properties of the various synthetic biomaterials. In addition the effect of microstructural aspects on properties is considered at great length. | Metal and Ceramic Biomaterials Volume II: Strength and Surface

Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production 1796-1918 Volume II: Humanity

Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production 1796-1918 Volume II: Humanity

This volume foregrounds humanity (in the sense of compassion or sympathy) which often supplied the motivation for medical experiment and scientific innovation. Though the results of experiments could not be known in advance often the stated goal was the reduction of suffering the cure of disease or the easement of life. Increasingly critics accused practitioners of hiding hubris behind their purported humanity and questioned whether an increasingly professional scientific community could retain its grip on the meaning of compassion. | Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production 1796-1918 Volume II: Humanity

The Evolution of Religion and Morality Volume II

The Evolution of Religion and Morality Volume II

This volume draws on a unique dataset to answer pressing questions about human religiosity. Building upon the first volume in this series it presents results from the second phase of the Evolution of Religion and Morality (ERM) project. The second volume investigates key questions in the evolutionary and cognitive sciences of religion and highlights cultural variability and context specificity of diverse religious systems. Chapters draw on a dataset comprising 2 228 participants from 15 ethnographically diverse societies that stretch from Africa and India through Oceania to South America and include hunter-gatherers pastoralists horticulturalists subsistence farmers and wage laborers. Four chapters using the full dataset answer the following questions: What are the general predictors of commitment to supernatural agents? Is there a gender gap in religiosity? Does belief in punitive gods facilitates cooperation? Are supernatural agents implicitly associated with moral concerns? Chapters from individual field sites further explore the distinction between moralizing and local gods the potentially disruptive role of belief in local gods on cooperation with anonymous co-religionists and the relationship between belief in moralizing gods cooperation and differential access to material resources. Above these empirical studies the book also includes an informed discussion with specialists on the challenges of running such a large cross-cultural project and gives concrete recommendations for future projects. The Evolution of Religion and Morality: Volume II will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of religious studies human evolutionary biology psychology anthropology the cultural evolution of religion and the sociology of religion.

Temples of Luxury Volume II: Department Stores

Temples of Luxury Volume II: Department Stores

This two-volume collection of British primary sources examines institutions such as hotels inns arcades bazaars co-operatives shops and department stores in the long nineteenth century which were often coded as ‘luxurious’. This period was marked not only by an increase of individual consumerism but also by the institutionalisation of opulent often purpose-built spaces such as the much-admired new grand hotels supposedly an American invention and department stores modelled on the French grands magasins. These environments were tied to leisure (no longer a prerogative of the upper classes) and thus to modernity. In addition to addressing the luxurious side of these institutions including architectural innovation and interior decoration we also consider the other side of luxury examining the experience of staff and period debates over the morality of consumption. This edition seeks to explore a fascinating but hitherto often neglected side of the British nineteenth century by bringing together a collection of annotated primary texts and visual material documenting these ‘temples of luxury’ as they were seen by their contemporaries. | Temples of Luxury Volume II: Department Stores
