Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA

Editura: Harper Perennial

Anul aparitiei: 2003

In 1962, Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick, and James Watson received the Nobel Prize, but it was Rosalind Franklin's data and photographs of DNA that led to their discovery. Brenda Maddox tells a powerful story of a remarkably single-minded, forthright, and tempestuous young woman who, at the age of fifteen, decided she was going to be a scientist, but who was airbrushed out of the greatest scientific discovery of the twentieth century.

Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume One, 1884-1933

Editura: Penguin Books

Anul aparitiei: 1993

The first volume in the life of America's greatest First Lady, "a woman who changed the lives of millions" (Washington Post). Eleanor Roosevelt, Vol. Three: 1938-1962 , will be published in November 2016. Eleanor Roosevelt was born into the privileges and prejudices of American aristocracy and into a family ravaged by alcoholism. She overcame debilitating roots: in her public life, fighting against racism and injustice and advancing the rights of women; and in her private life, forming lasting intimate friendships with some of the great men and women of her times. This volume covers ER's family and birth, her childhood, education, and marriage, and ends with FDR's election to the Presidency--the years of ER's youth and coming of age. Celebrated by feminists, historians, politicians, and reviewers everywhere, Cook's trilogy is an unprecedented portrait of a brave, fierce, passionate political leader of our century.

War in the Mountains Peasant Society and Counterinsurgency in Algeria, 1918-1958

Editura: Oxford University Press

Anul aparitiei: 2020

The role of the peasantry during the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962) has long been neglected by historians, in part because they have been viewed as a 'primitive' mass devoid of political consciousness. War in the Mountains: Peasant Society and Counterinsurgency in Algeria, 1918-1958 challenges this conventional understanding by tracing the ability of the peasant community to sustain an autonomous political culture through family, clan, and village assemblies. The long-established system of indirect rule by which the colonial state controlled and policed the vast mountainous interior of Algeria began to break down after the 1920s. War in the Mountains explains how competing guerrilla forces and the French military sought to harness djemâas as part of a hearts-and-minds strategy. Djemâas formed a pole of opposition to the patron-client relations of the rural élites, with clandestine urban-rural networks emerging that prepared the way for armed resistance and a system of rebel governance. Contrary to accepted historical analysis suggesting that rural society was massively uprooted and dislocated, War in the Mountains demonstrates that the peasantry demonstrated a high ...

Apprenticeship

Editura: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Anul aparitiei: 2018

Apprenticeship is Peter Gill's potent recollection of the changing theatrical landscape of the 1960s. Part history, part memoir, part polemic, it puts into context his recently discovered diary of 1962 in which he vividly recalls his experiences as a young actor in Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle as part of their first London season. This intensely personal account, by turns witty and evocative, includes a penetrating analysis of the figures and themes of twentieth century drama and marks the beginning of Gill's development into one of the most important and influential playwrights and directors in the British Theatre.

Matzpen A History of Israeli Dissidence

Editura: Edinburgh University Press

Anul aparitiei: 2020

This book explores the history of the Israeli Socialist Organization - Matzpen (compass) - that splintered off from the Communist Party of Israel in 1962. After the Six Day War of June 1967, Matzpen shook Israeli society, calling for a withdrawal from the recently occupied territories, and placing itself outside the national consensus. Even before the war, the group emphasised the colonial dimension of the conflict between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs, which was irresolvable within the paradigm of the nation-state. Matzpen instead advocated for Israel's de-Zionisation and a socialist revolution in the Middle East in order to both restore the rights of Palestinian Arabs and guarantee the existence of Israeli Jews as a new Hebrew nation. However, in the era after Auschwitz, when the Jewish world stood in almost unanimous solidarity with the Jewish state, Matzpen's radical perspective was at odds with the history and memory of the Holocaust. Against this backdrop, this study places Matzpen's political stance in its historical context and sheds new light on the political culture of Israel.

Reel Men Australian Masculinity in the Movies 1949-1962

Editura: Melbourne University Press

Anul aparitiei: 2019

Set against the shifting social and political backdrop of a nation throwing off the shackles of one war yet faced with the instability of the new world order, Reel Men probes the concept of 1950s masculinity itself, asking what it meant to be an Australian man at this time. Offering a compelling exploration of the Australian fifties, the book challenges the common belief that the fifties was a 'dead' era for Australian filmmaking. Reel Men engages with fourteen Australian feature films made and released between 1949 and 1962, and examines the multiple masculinities in circulation at this time. Dealing with beloved Australian films like Jedda (1955), Smiley (1956), and The Shiralee (1957), and national icons of the silver screen including Chips Rafferty, Charles 'Bud' Tingwell, and Peter Finch, Reel Men delves into our cultural past to dismantle powerful assumptions about film, the fifties, and masculinity in Australia.

The McMahon Line: 100 Years of the Sino-Indian Boundary Dispute

Editura: HarperCollins India

Anul aparitiei: 2019

Sir Henry McMahon, a British colonial administrator, drew a line along the Himalayas at the Simla Convention of 1913-14, demarcating what would in later years become the effective boundary between China and India. The boundary, disputed by India's northern neighbour, has had a profound effect on the relations between the two Asian giants, resulting most prominently in the war of 1962 but also in several skirmishes and stand-offs both before and after that. It continues to be a thorn in the side - reaching a flashpoint at the tri-junction between Tibet, Sikkim and Bhutan in Doklam in 2017 - and may derail all the progress in bilateral ties if left unattended. General J.J. Singh examines the evolution of the boundary and the nuances of British India's Tibet policy from the eighteenth century through to India's Independence, analyses the repercussions for contemporary times and puts forth recommendations for the way ahead.

Citizenship and Antisemitism in French Colonial Algeria, 1870-1962

Editura: Cambridge University Press

Anul aparitiei: 2020

Professor Roberts examines the relationship between antisemitism and the practices of citizenship in a colonial context. She focuses on the experience of Algerian Jews and their evolving identity as citizens as they competed with the other populations in the colony, including newly naturalised non-French settlers and Algerian Muslims, for control over the scarce resources of the colonial state. The author argues that this resulted in antisemitic violence and hotly contested debates over the nature of French identity and rights of citizenship. Tracing the ambiguities and tensions that Algerian Jews faced, the book shows that antisemitism was not coherent or stable but changed in response to influences within Algeria, and from metropolitan France, Europe and the Middle East. Written for a wide audience, this title contributes to several fields including Jewish history, colonial and empire studies, antisemitism within municipal politics, and citizenship, and adds to current debates on transnationalism and globalization.

Rotella Catalogue raisonne. Volume Two 1962-1973

Editura: Skira

Anul aparitiei: 2020

The second volume of the Nouveau Realiste protagonist's catalogue raisonné, featuring extensive documentation of Rotella's décollages, in a slipcased hardcover volume Domenico "Mimmo" Rotella (1918-2006) helped pioneer the postwar Nouveau Realistes' exploration of the torn poster, with his richly textured collages composed mainly of glossy magazine imagery, movie posters and advertisements. The second volume of the artist's extended catalogue raisonné, this publication focuses on work created between 1962 and 1973 as Rotella continued with his décollage practice while becomingly increasingly interested in the printing process. The resulting artypos make use of overlapping photo emulsions on canvas to create compositions evocative of pop culture. With a keen focus on visual and cultural trends, Rotella's work from this period of his career takes the iconography of the times and puts a unique interpretive spin on it. This catalogue raisonné provides scholarly analysis and verification alongside gorgeous full-color reproductions of Rotella's pieces.

Sverre Fehn: Nordic Pavilion, Venice

Editura: Birkhauser Verlag AG

Anul aparitiei: 2020

A gem of midcentury architecture examined with previously unpublished archival material Sverre Fehn's Nordic Pavilion in Venice is a masterpiece of postwar architecture. The young Norwegian architect won the competition in 1958; the building was inaugurated in 1962. In minute detail, this book presents the history of the origins and making of the Nordic pavilion, covering everything from the geopolitical context in an increasingly tense cold-war atmosphere to the aggregates in the concrete of the audacious roof construction. Sverre Fehn, Nordic Pavilion, Venice also documents the vast cast involved in the making of the Nordic Pavilion, from kings, prime ministers, bureaucrats, ambassadors, museum directors, architects and a myriad of artists' associations to Venetian dignitaries, engineers, gardeners, lawyers and plumbers. Richly illustrated with previously unpublished images, the archival evidence also sheds new light on one of the great Nordic architects of the recent past.

Feuding and Warfare Selected Works of Keith F. Otterbein

Editura: Taylor & Francis Ltd

Anul aparitiei: 2020

Originally published in 1994, the late Keith F. Otterbein's scholarship had followed an overall design since 1962, when he began conducting comparative studies of warfare using both ethnographic and cross-cultural methods. Through a conceptual framework derived from systems theory, he made signal contributions to our understanding of the role of warfare in human social evolution. He formulated a Fraternal Interest Group theory, utilizing it to explain not only feuding and warfare but also rape and capital punishment. Believing that armed combat is learned behaviour, he posed questions about its learning process that had yet to be answered. He acted as a major synthesizer of the growing literature on warfare and led attempts among anthropologists to apply their knowledge of war and peace to current events. This volume will serve both as a useful introduction to the anthropology of war and as a needed compendium of Professor Otterbein's ideas.

When Narasimha Rao became the prime Minister in 1991, just a billion dollars separated India from bankruptcy. He was told by finance minister Manmohan Singh, that Petrol pumps would run dry after two weeks. India was forced to ship 46.8 million tonnes of gold to secure dollar 400 million in loans from the Bank of England and Bank of Japan. This blow to the National pride may not have been comparable to the military humiliation of 1962, but it was bad enough. Carved in riveting prose, India's wor

A Military History of the Cold War, 1962-1991

Editura: University of Oklahoma Press

Anul aparitiei: 2020

Study of the Cold War all too often shows us the war that wasn't fought. The reality, of course, is that many "hot" conflicts did occur, some with the great powers' weapons and approval, others without. It is this reality, and this period of quasi-war and semiconflict, that Jonathan M. House plumbs in A Military History of the Cold War, 1962-1991, a complex case study in the Clausewitzian relationship of policy and military force during a time of global upheaval and political realignment. This volume opens a new perspective on three fraught decades of Cold War history, revealing how the realities of time, distance, resources, and military culture often constrained and diverted the inclinations or policies of world leaders. In addition to the Vietnam War and nuclear confrontations between the USSR and the United States, this period saw dozens of regional wars and insurgencies fought throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Cuba, Pakistan, Indonesia, Israel, Egypt, and South Africa pursued their own independent goals in ways that drew the superpowers into regional disputes. Even clashes ostensibly unrelated to the politics of East-West confrontation, such as the Nigerian-Biafran ...

REARRANGING THE TRUTH

Editura: AUSTIN MACAULEY PUBLISHERS USA

Anul aparitiei: 2020

Tori knows something that Brian doesn't--a family secret revealed by Brian's Aunt Lily in Dublin, Ireland--only to her. A deception so coldly calculated and criminally complete, it has remained hidden for decades as a carefully arranged truth. Tori is determined to unearth the whole story. She takes the opportunity of a business trip to Los Angeles to drive up the coast to Santa Barbara, and there, to investigate the accident that tragically took the lives of two Sage family members in 1962. What Tori finds--yet another well-hidden deception--will rip through the fabric of the family once it becomes known. Yet, if she seeks to "poke the sleeping bear," the Sage family's patriarch, how can she see him punished for what he has done without hurting other family members? As Tori begins her quest to rearrange the truth, she worries that pulling the threads she has worked loose could unravel all of the long-buried secrets in the Sage family.
