Author: Janelle Collins
File Type: pdf
Inspired by the Arkansas Reviews What Is the Delta? series of articles, Defining the Delta collects fifteen essays from scholars in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities to describe and define this important region. Here are essays examining the Deltas physical properties, boundaries, and climate from a geologist, archeologist, and environmental historian. The Delta is also viewed through the lens of the social sciences and humanitieshistorians, folklorists, and others studying the connection between the land and its people, in particular the importance of agriculture and the culture of the area, especially music, literature, and food.

File Type: epub
Brilliantly conceived....[A] tour de force in historical writing.Ian KershawMajestic and lyrically written, The Conquest of Nature traces the rise of Germany through the development of water and landscape. David Blackbourn begins his morality tale in the mid-1700s, with the epic story of Frederick the Great, who attemptedby importing the great scientific minds of the West and by harnessing the power of his armyto transform the uninhabitable marshlands of his scattered kingdom into a modern state. Chronicling the great engineering projects that reshaped the mighty Rhine, the emergence of an ambitious German navy, and the development of hydroelectric power to fuel Germanys convulsive industrial growth before World War I, Blackbourn goes on to show how Nazi racial policies rested on German ideas of mastery of the natural world. Filled with striking reproductions of paintings, maps, and photographs, this grand work of modern history links culture, politics, and the environment in an exploration of the perils faced by nations that attempt to conquer nature. 70 illustrations **

WAGE-

Author: Karl Marx
File Type: pdf
p indenttwo works can be recommended as a starting point the two series of lectures which Marx prepared for workers organisations, and which directly address political and social struggles, both against capital and within these organisations themselves.p indentThe first series subsequently collated by Engels under the title Wage Labour and Capital dates from August 1847 and was written for the German Workers Association of Brussels as a contribution to these workers political education.p indentThe second series of lectures was considered by Marx himself to form a course in political economy, although he emphasised that it isnt easy to explain all economic questions to the uneducated (Letter to Engels of 20th May 1865). It dates from June 1865, and was written for the General Council of the International Working-Mens Association. Subsequently published under the title Wages, Price and Profit, it enjoyed massive circulation in pamphlet form, like the first series.p indentThe advantage of starting with these texts lies not only in the fact that they are short, in plentiful supply, cheap, and thus readily available, but also in that Marx himself gave them a pedagogic character they formed, and continue to form, a model of how to spread Marxist theory within the working class.
