Two outstanding accounts of the Indian Mutiny written by women
This special Leonaur edition contains two accounts of the Indian Mutiny of 1857 as it was experienced by women whose lives were violently disrupted. Elizabeth Wagentreiber was the youngest daughter of Colonel James Skinner of the famous cavalry regiment 'Skinner's Horse'. She had originally married a Captain Radclyffe Haldane, an officer of Skinner's Horse who was killed at the Battle of Chillianwallah during the Second Anglo-Sikh War. She subsequently married George Wagentreiber. And in the Spring of 1857 the couple were living in the civilian lines at Delhi when the Indian Mutiny broke out in the Bengal Army and reports arrived that the native cavalry was running amok in the city, slaughtering Europeans. Fearful for their lives the couple escaped with their children and the harrowing account of their time as fugitives makes compelling reading. Mrs Elizabeth McMullin Muter was married to a captain of the 1st Battalion 60th King's Royal Rifles stationed in Meerut, a few hours travel east of Delhi, when the mutiny among the sepoys of the garrison broke out there on Sunday morning of May 10th, 1857. Elizabeth Muter graphically describes the horrors of those first days of the conflict from the perspective of the wives of officers who were set adrift in times of peril and uncertainty as their husbands left them to fight. This book also contains some campaign recollections by Captain Muter.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: Using historical examples grounded in the framework supplied by the social theorist Margaret Archer, this book provides a new perspective on institutional logics. Challenging conceptualizations of the key areas of social life that frame and condition organizational action, the book provides examples from spheres such as play and the military.
Описание: The Mutus Liber is an epistemological treatise. The alchemical laboratory is the mind, as proved by the first plate: the illustration of the Biblical dream of Jacob (Gen. 27:28.39, 28:11.12, Deut. 33:18.28). No one can deny that dreams are in the mind. In it, ideas are chemical compounds and their processes are reactions producing thoughts and knowledge. The operation and the alchemical transmutation takes place and is registered in the mind, by the mind and through the mind in all its stages, conscious, subconscious, unconscious and beyond. Therefore, the key to interpret the plates and to open the mouth of the Mute Book (as in the Egyptian tradition) is gnoseological and not related to any New Age perspective. The chemical elements, consequently, are only metaphors (as in the parable's of Biblical tradition) to describe real epistemic processes which establish the world into existence (as in the Indian tradition). One can have millions of alchemical laboratories with expensive equipment but without the mind no one can achieve any transmutation at all. Furthermore, no physical alchemical transmutation persists for the practitioner in the sleep of death. Mutus Liber concludes inviting Eternal Life (as in the Chinese tradition) understood through prayer (as in the monastic ora et labora). This commentary completes with an extensive quoted and studied bibliography of the original first edition of Altus' plates as well as works by Jung, McLean, Magophon, Canseliet and many others.
