Beyond the Metropolis: Second Cities and Modern Life in Interwar Japan
ISBN: 9780520275201 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Beyond the Metropolis, Louise Young looks at the emergence of urbanism in the interwar period, a global moment when the material and ideological structures that constitute "the city" took their characteristic modern shape. In Japan, as elsewhere, cities became the staging ground for wide ranging social, cultural, economic, and political transformations. The rise of social problems, the formation of a consumer marketplace, the proliferation of streetcars and streetcar suburbs, and the cascade of investments in urban development reinvented the city as both socio-spatial form and set...

Japan's Total Empire: Manchuria and the Culture of Wartime Imperialism
ISBN: 9780520219342 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this first social and cultural history of Japan's construction of Manchuria, Louise Young offers an incisive examination of the nature of Japanese imperialism. Focusing on the domestic impact of Japan's activities in Northeast China between 1931 and 1945, Young considers "metropolitan effects" of empire building: how people at home imagined and experienced the empire they called Manchukuo. Contrary to the conventional assumption that a few army officers and bureaucrats were responsible for Japan's overseas expansion, Young finds that a variety of organizations helped to mobilize...

The Unfinished Universe
ISBN: 9780195080391 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the dawn of humankind, men and women have looked at change--as wrought by weather, the seasons, and, most strikingly, the inexorable advance of time--as something essentially to be feared. And partially from this fear the great religions and mythologies have arisen, systems which gave meaning to the ever-changing world, and, quite often, immortality to ourselves. By the late nineteenth century, the quest for ultimate meanings became largely the province of science, and today, change still figures (on the surface, at least) as a malevolent force: most of the cosmological theories...

Vision and Audience in Medieval Drama: A Study of the Castle of Perseverance
ISBN: 9781137465597 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The earliest known morality play in the English language, The Castle of Perseverance depicted the culture of medieval East Anglia, a region once known for its production of artistic objects, particularly textiles. Drawing on an audience-experience approach, this book re-evaluates the famed play, arguing that vision - as a physical, moral, and cognitive process - was the organizing principle that informed the play's staging, structure, and narrative. As Young shows, the visual culture of East Anglia was central to the play's moral and dramatic thrust and ultimately the battle at the center of...

Power Over People
ISBN: 9780195075786 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For most of us, life is spent in one vast electromagnetic field. In the office we sit in front of computer terminals, at home, in front of the television. We cook our meals in microwave ovens, trim our hedges with electric shears, illuminate our houses, workplaces, and streets with incandescent and fluorescent lighting. And until only recently, the potential hazards imposed by life in the shadows of high-voltage power lines have hardly been considered.
First published in 1973, Power Over People was the first book to address the frightening potential side effects of our dependence on... For most of us, life is spent in one vast electromagnetic field. In the office we sit in front of computer terminals, at home, in front of the televis...
