Описание: "Dit boek is een vervolg op Grepen uit de Geschiedenis van de Automatisering dat in 1992en in 1995 is uitgebracht en na te zijn uitverkocht niet meer is verschenen. In 2017 hebik besloten om deze geschiedenis, mede op verzoek van anderen, een vervolg te gevenen wel onder dezelfde titel. Tegelijkertijd zijn in de oorspronkelijke tekst aanpassingenen aanvullingen gedaan, waar dat nodig was. Het Woord vooraf van de oorspronkelijkeuitgave startte met het volgende.De komst van de eerste computers luidde het begin in van de moderne geschiedenisvan de automatisering; een geschiedenis die al weer enige decennia van de twintigsteen eenentwintigste eeuw bestrijkt. Maar daarbij dient wel te worden bedacht dat er ookeen oude geschiedenis van de automatisering is, die teruggaat tot de Middeleeuwen enzelfs ver daarvoor. Omdat de mens altijd getracht heeft het rekenen en het beheer vanverzamelingen te ondersteunen met technische hulpmiddelen, zijn door de eeuwenheen talrijke, vaak heel ingenieuze hulpmiddelen bedacht. De wens steeds nauwkeurigernatuurkundige en boekhoudkundige aspecten te kunnen beschrijven en het menselijkvernuft hebben ertoe geleid dat steeds beter toepasbare methoden en techniekenzijn gerealiseerd. Uitgedrukt in tijd bestrijkt de oude geschiedenis een periode die velemalen langer heeft geduurd dan de periode waarin de moderne computer zich wist teontwikkelen. Die lange periode kenmerkt zich door vele uitermate boeiende ontwikkelingendie in veel gevallen als voorlopers zijn te beschouwen van de denkwijzen entechnische producten van dit moment. Om die reden wordt in dit boek met betrekkingtot het begrip automatisering geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen de periode waarin hetbegrip `automatisering` gemeengoed is geworden en de periode waarin men anderetermen gebruikte bij het ontwikkelen en toepassen van allerhande middelen. Deze benaderingis min of meer te vergelijken met de Engelse aanduiding history of computing dat alles op rekengebied en bijbehorende hulpmiddelen omvat.Over die lange automatiseringsperiode zijn inmiddels vele boeken en artikelen verschenen.Toch blijft veel van het beschrevene min of meer verborgen, zeker in Nederland.Het beperkt zich meestal tot een aantal vaak herhaalde hoofdlijnen waarin steeds weerdezelfde personen en dezelfde apparaten worden genoemd. Kennelijk is het niet zoeenvoudig om tot de omvangrijke buitenlandse literatuur door te dringen om een watbreder beeld te krijgen. Tot de onmogelijkheden behoort dat zeker niet. Wel zal mendan niet zelden met veel technische details worden geconfronteerd die niet altijd evengemakkelijk te begrijpen zijn."
Описание: This work examines the cultural, economic and social forces that shaped the development of the British empire in the 18th century. It portrays the empire not as a series of discrete, unconnected geographical regions, but as a commercial, cultural and social body based around metropolitan society.

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.

Описание:
Why do some elites survive while others do not? How do certain institutions manage to preserve their importance in the face of crises, instability, and change? How does a democratic society legitimize elitist institutions? Combining the use of important social theories-particularly those of Mosca, Schumpeter, Tocqueville, and Pareto-with empirical analysis, Ezra Suleiman tries to answer these questions in his examination of the dominance and stability of France's governing elites.
The author draws on original survey data, historical evidence, and specialized documentary sources. His three part discussion deals, first, with the state institutions that nurture the French elite; second, with the organization, legitimization, and adaptation of the elite and its institutions; and third, with some of the policy and political implications of France's elitist system. In the final section of his book, he closely examines the relationship between elites in the public and private sectors. In his investigation of France's "state-created" elites, Professor Suleiman shows the great importance of the grandes йcoles in training and promoting the elites, and the grand corps in providing a base from which the elites launch themselves into extra-governmental careers. He also finds that the elites' capacity to adapt to an evolving social, political, and economic environment is a major factor in their ability to survive. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Описание:
Originally published in 1977. Professor David Spring presents comparative histories of European landed elites in the nineteenth century, covering English, Prussian, Russian, Spanish, and French landed elites. European Landed Elites in the Nineteenth Century underscores the particularities of each case and underscores the differences between cases.
Despite its prominence in public discourse, the notion of elites remains a highly contested and ambiguous part of modern political discourse. This monograph rehabilitates the idea of elites and gives it a solid theoretical footing, while relating it with the historical development of liberal thought in the west. The analysis offered in the book concentrates on the tradition of liberal political thought in France, which has consistently tackled the question of the elites, their role in society, and the process of their formation.
Combining theoretical insights with practical wisdom, French liberal thinkers have seen the elite as an indispensable social category and as a vehicle for the development of human liberty. In their different prescriptive doctrines, French liberal thinkers have sought to reconcile the emergence of social elites with the requirements of social and political equality, as well as with the ongoing modernization of mores and institutions. The monograph offers a unique contribution to scholarship in modern political thought by engaging analytically with the notion of elites, as well as by offering a structured discussion on the historical development of liberalism in France.
Описание: Published in 1997, this text presents a specific interest in analyzing the role of the elites as a key factor for democratic rule and policy changes. Comparing these three states gives possibilities for singling out conditions for specific national developments in elite structure and policies.
Описание: This book explores symbolic means of legitimation of medieval Scandinavian elites. It maps out a wide set of cultural practices (literary, spatial, legal, ritualistic, sacral etc.), offering new perspectives to students and researchers on medieval Nordic political order and social distinction.
Описание: This book, first in a series of three, examines the social elites in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland, and which social, political and cultural resources went into their creation, through questions such as: Which types of resources were at play? How did the elites acquire and exchange resources?
Описание: Modern Mexico derives many symbols of identity and heritage from its Aztec legacy. This book demonstrates that such emotional links to the native past originated in part among colonial-era indigenous leaders who adapted ancestral memories following the Spanish conquest, eventually enabling American-born Spaniards to likewise identify with this ancient legacy.
