Book Synopsis An Alphabetical Encyclopedia of Institutions, Persons, Events, of Ancient History and Geography by : Dr. Emil Reich
Download or read book An Alphabetical Encyclopedia of Institutions, Persons, Events, of Ancient History and Geography written by Dr. Emil Reich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Alphabetical Encyclopedia of Institutions, Persons, Events, of Ancient History and Geography Readers of the Greek and Roman classics, who have little or no acquaintance with ancient history, are frequently confronted by references to persons and events with which they are unfamiliar. It is to meet the need of such readers that this volume is designed, with a view to supplying, in a handy form, a brief account of the more important personages, events, and places of classical antiquity. The omission, however, of some very famous names, especially in the world of letters and art, requires a little explanation. As a companion volume to this, it is proposed to issue an abridged edition of Seyffert's "Dictionary of Classical Antiquities," and in this second volume will be found, along with accounts of the institutions, etc., of the Greeks and Romans, biographies in brief of many important people whom it has been found necessary to exclude from the present volume.

Book Synopsis Culture and Imperialism by : Edward W. Said
Download or read book Culture and Imperialism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1994-05-31 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work from the author of Orientalism that explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. "Grandly conceived . . . urgently written and urgently needed. . . . No one studying the relations between the metropolitan West and the decolonizing world can ignore Mr. Said's work.' --The New York Times Book Review In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as the Western powers built empires that stretched from Australia to the West Indies, Western artists created masterpieces ranging from Mansfield Park to Heart of Darkness and Aida. Yet most cultural critics continue to see these phenomena as separate. Edward Said looks at these works alongside those of such writers as W. B. Yeats, Chinua Achebe, and Salman Rushdie to show how subject peoples produced their own vigorous cultures of opposition and resistance. Vast in scope and stunning in its erudition, Culture and Imperialism reopens the dialogue between literature and the life of its time.

This book was released on 2011-09-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively, practical text presents a fresh and comprehensive approach to doing qualitative research. The book offers a unique balance of theory and clear-cut choices for customizing every phase of a qualitative study. A scholarly mix of classic and contemporary studies from multiple disciplines provides compelling, field-based examples of the full range of qualitative approaches. Readers learn about adaptive ways of designing studies, collecting data, analyzing data, and reporting findings. Key aspects of the researcher's craft are addressed, such as fieldwork options, the five phases of data analysis (with and without using computer-based software), and how to incorporate the researcher's “declarative” and “reflective” selves into a final report. Ideal for graduate-level courses, the text includes:* Discussions of ethnography, grounded theory, phenomenology, feminist research, and other approaches.* Instructions for creating a study bank to get a new study started.* End-of-chapter exercises and a semester-long, field-based project.* Quick study boxes, research vignettes, sample studies, and a glossary.* Previews for sections within chapters, and chapter recaps.* Discussion of the place of qualitative research among other social science methods, including mixed methods research.
