Book Synopsis The Family of Man Revisited by : Gerd Hurm
Download or read book The Family of Man Revisited written by Gerd Hurm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Family of Man is the most widely seen exhibition in the history of photography. The book of the exhibition, still in print, is also the most commercially successful photobook ever published. First shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955, the exhibition travelled throughout the United States and to forty-six countries, and was seen by over nine million people. Edward Steichen conceived, curated and designed the exhibition. He explained its subject as `the everydayness of life' and `the essential oneness of mankind throughout the world'. The exhibition was a statement against war and the conflicts and divisions that threatened a common future for humanity after 1945. The popular international response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Many critics, however, have dismissed the exhibition as a form of sentimental humanism unable to address the challenges of history, politics and cultural difference.This book revises the critical debate about The Family of Man, challenging in particular the legacy of Roland Barthes's influential account of the exhibition. The expert contributors explore new contexts for understanding Steichen's work and they undertake radically new analyses of the formal dynamics of the exhibition. Also presented are documents about the exhibition never before available in English. Commentaries by critical theorist Max Horkheimer and novelist Wolfgang Koeppen, letters from photographer August Sander, and a poetic sequence on the images by Polish poet Witold Wirpsza enable and encourage new critical reflections. A detailed survey of audience responses in Munich from 1955 allows a rare glimpse of what visitors thought about the exhibition. Today, when armed conflict, environmental catastrophe and economic inequality continue to threaten our future, it seems timely to revisit The Family of Man.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750 by : Hamish M. Scott
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750 written by Hamish M. Scott and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook re-examines the concept of early modern history in a European and global context. The term 'early modern' has been familiar, especially in Anglophone scholarship, for four decades and is securely established in teaching, research, and scholarly publishing. More recently, however, the unity implied in the notion has fragmented, while the usefulness and even the validity of the term, and the historical periodisation which it incorporates, have been questioned. The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750 provides an account of the development of the subject during the past half-century, but primarily offers an integrated and comprehensive survey of present knowledge, together with some suggestions as to how the field is developing. It aims both to interrogate the notion of 'early modernity' itself and to survey early modern Europe as an established field of study. The overriding aim will be to establish that 'early modern' is not simply a chronological label but possesses a substantive integrity. Volume I examines 'Peoples and Place', assessing structural factors such as climate, printing and the revolution in information, social and economic developments, and religion, including chapters on Orthodoxy, Judaism and Islam.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History by : Bonnie G. Smith
Download or read book The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History written by Bonnie G. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 2710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Women in World History captures the experiences of women throughout world history in a comprehensive, 4-volume work. Although there has been extensive research on women in history by region, no text or reference work has comprehensively covered the role women have played throughout world history. The past thirty years have seen an explosion of research and effort to present the experiences and contributions of women not only in the Western world but across the globe. Historians have investigated womens daily lives in virtually every region and have researched the leadership roles women have filled across time and region. They have found and demonstrated that there is virtually no historical, social, or demographic change in which women have not been involved and by which their lives have not been affected. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History benefits greatly from these efforts and experiences, and illuminates how women worldwide have influenced and been influenced by these historical, social, and demographic changes. The Encyclopedia contains over 1,250 signed articles arranged in an A-Z format for ease of use. The entries cover six main areas: biographies; geography and history; comparative culture and society, including adoption, abortion, performing arts; organizations and movements, such as the Egyptian Uprising, and the Paris Commune; womens and gender studies; and topics in world history that include slave trade, globalization, and disease. With its rich and insightful entries by leading scholars and experts, this reference work is sure to be a valued, go-to resource for scholars, college and high school students, and general readers alike.
Book Synopsis One Family's Journey Through Time Revisited by : R. G. Tidwell
Download or read book One Family's Journey Through Time Revisited written by R. G. Tidwell and published by Bluewater Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's first book, One Family's Journey through Time, was written as a compilation of the genealogical research of Richard Tidwell's family line as well as Jerry Tidwell's family life memories from childhood to adulthood and the treasured stories he heard while growing up. The information in the book was primarily about his grandfather, Nathan Jerry Tidwell, and his immediate family. The book did not contain information about extended family because the author did not know much about his great uncles and their family lines. He wasn't even sure who to contact to obtain this information. After the release of Our Family's Journey through Time, family members came forth and offered to share their family stories. This allowed Mr. Tidwell to revisit his first work and include more detailed genealogy and many more stories and photographs. Our Family's Journey through Time Revisited includes over 170 pages of new information and numerous new photographs. The author is not an author in the conventional sense of the word in this work but more of a compiler. He simply gathered everyone's stories and updates, compiled them and had them published. The early family history from Richard Tidwell who emigrated from England to Virginia in 1650 as an indentured servant through the Virginia history of the early Tidwells and Reuben Tidwell who settled in Warren County, Tennessee is retained in this work. This book updates the families of Reuben's son Robert Tidwell through Robert's sons Richard T. Tidwell and John D. Tidwell. This book brings this branch of the family up to date to the latest marriages, births and deaths as of June of 2012.
Book Synopsis Life Course, Work, and Labour in Global History by : Josef Ehmer
Download or read book Life Course, Work, and Labour in Global History written by Josef Ehmer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-09-13 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multidisciplinary volume offers unique perspectives, across the globe and throughout the centuries, on the complexity of the nexus between work and the life course. For industrialized regions, from Germany and Western Europe to China and Japan, it questions the widespread notion of an overall growing working life course instability, since the 1970s. For unindustrialized or industrializing regions, from West Africa to state socialist East Central Europe, as well as for transnational and transcontinental labour migrations, it shows the enormous influence of the extended family and wider kin on individual pathways into and out of work. For early modern Europe, India, and China, and up to twentieth-century state socialism and to current welfare states, it stresses and concretizes the crucial impact of age and gender for both societal labour relations and individual work-related decision making. With all chapters based on original research, the volume reflects a close cooperation between historians, anthropologists, and sociologists. Its multidisciplinary approach finds expression in its methodological plurality, reaching from archival research and sophisticated statistical analyses to biographical interviews and participant observation. This mix allows to grasp the interaction between societal change and individual agency.
Book Synopsis The Natural History of Alcoholism Revisited by : George E. Vaillant
Download or read book The Natural History of Alcoholism Revisited written by George E. Vaillant and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When The Natural History of Alcoholism was first published in 1983, it was acclaimed in the press as the single most important contribution to the literature on alcoholism since the first edition of Alcoholic Anonymous’s Big Book. George Vaillant took on the crucial questions of whether alcoholism is a symptom or a disease, whether it is progressive, whether alcoholics differ from others before the onset of their alcoholism, and whether alcoholics can safely drink. Based on an evaluation of more than 600 individuals followed for over forty years, Vaillant’s monumental study offered new and authoritative answers to all of these questions. In this updated version of his classic book, Vaillant returns to the same subjects with the perspective gained from fifteen years of further follow-up. Alcoholics who had been studied to age 50 in the earlier book have now reached age 65 and beyond, and Vaillant reassesses what we know about alcoholism in light of both their experiences and the many new studies of the disease by other researchers. The result is a sharper focus on the nature and course of this devastating disorder as well as a sounder foundation for the assessment of various treatments.
