Описание: A new paperback edition of the well-known study by the leading international expert on wealth formation and the wealthy in the 19th and 20th centuries in Britain. It is the first book by a historian to analyse who were the very rich. Until very recently surprisingly little was known on this beyond anecdotes and stereotypical impressions. The revelatory study is largely based on a detailed, comprehensive analysis of the probate records of wealth at death, and on income tax and other objective sources. From these has been built up a full picture of the occupations, social origins and career patterns of the very rich in Britain since the early 19th century. The study includes both businessmen and great landowners. This edition also includes chapters on the wealthy in Britain in the more recent period 1940-80.

We still do not know for certain:
Who shot JFK? Was their a conspiracy, and no lone gunman? Who did the 'Jack the Ripper' murders? Who wrote the 'Shake-speare' plays? Did Richard II murder the Princes in the Tower? Did Jesus marry and survive the Crucifixion? What are the ancient mysteries of the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx? Was the man calling himself Rudolf Hess and who landed in Scotland in the Second World War really Hitler's Deputy, or a deceptive double?
Here, a leading historian asks questions, explores possible answers, and presents a fresh view of these great and unresolved mysteries.
This is a fascinating and objective series of enquiries. The distinguished author evaluates what evidence exists, and the many and varied theories offered on each unsolved but nagging mystery.
The book goes behind the scenes to examine much that remains in the shadows. He enquires about clandestine intrigues, whitewashed evidence, fraudulent claims, and much that many academic historians have previously ignored.
Professor Rubinstein reaches some quite unexpected conclusions.

Описание:
A companion to Rubinstein's celebrated study of English literature, American Literature Root and Flower examines the lives and works of over fifty important American novelists, poets, and dramatists. This two-volume study is one of remarkable scope, ranging from Hawthorne to the Harlem Renaissance, from Poe to Pynchon. It illuminates the relationship between the producers of American literature and their ever-changing social and political contexts, while emphasizing the current of critique and resistance that runs through the entire tradition. Monthly Review Press is proud to present the first-ever U.S. printing of this valuable and enlightening work.

Описание:
This is a much enlarged edition - with 4 further essays and a new introduction added - of Professor Rubinstein's influential study of the evolution and composition of Britain's elites since 1750.
The author is the leading historian who has reshaped our knowledge of the top strata of British society. He shows the key importance of London and of the relative insignificance of the manufacturing and heavy industries of the North of England for Britain's elite of wealth and power.
He focuses on the development of Britain's wealth and elite structures since industrialisation. The work is based on intense and original pioneering research into individual wealth-holders and elite members.
The essays include three which discuss 'survivals' in modern British history, patterns and movements which historians have overlooked because they 'shouldn't be there'.
A substantial new introduction reviews the recent historiography of the subject, and brings up-to-date earlier material.
Contents: New introduction; list of tables; Wealth: The Victorian Middle Classes: Wealth, Occupation and Geography; Wealth, Elites and the Class Structure of Modern Britain; The Geographical Distribution of Middle-class Income in Britain, 1800-1914; Entrepreneurial Effort and Entrepreneurial Success: Peak Wealth-holding in Three Societies, 1850-1939.

From humble beginnings as a Polish-Jewish immigrant, this is the story behind one of the best-known faces in the world of beauty. But as her professional and family conflicts reach fever pitch, will the ghosts of a turbulent past topple one of the world's richest businesswomen?
Madame Rubinstein is a bright new comedy where the nails are painted and the gloves are off. Yet when the lipstick bleeds and the makeup fades, what is there left to hide behind?

Описание:
The academy is often described as an ivory tower, isolated from the community surrounding it. Presenting the theory, vision, and implementation of a socially engaged program for the Department of Human and Organizational Development (HOD) in Peabody’s College of Education and Human Development at Vanderbilt University, Academics in Action! describes a more integrated model wherein students and faculty work with communities, learn from them, and bring to bear findings from theory and research to generate solutions to community problems. Offering examples of community-engaged theory, scholarship, teaching, and action, Academics in Action! describes the nuanced structures that foster and support their development within a research university. Theory and action span multiple ecological levels from individuals and small groups to organizations and social structures. The communities of engagement range from local neighborhoods and schools to arenas of national policy and international development. Reflecting the unique perspectives of research faculty, practitioners, and graduate students, Academics in Action! documents a specific philosophy of education that fosters and supports engagement; the potentially transformative nature of academic work for students, faculty, and the broader society; and some of the implications and challenges of action-oriented efforts in light of dynamics such as income inequality, racism, and global capitalism. This edited volume chronicles teaching, research, and community action that influences both inside and outside the classroom as well as presents dimensions of a participatory model that set such efforts into action.
