Подзаголовок: Melville`s narratives of facts
Рейтинг:
Поставляется из: Англии
Описание:

The narrative of facts—probably best exemplified in the literature of exploration—was an immensely popular genre in mid-nineteenth-century America. In White Lies, John Samson offers full contextual readings of Melvilles five major narratives of facts—Typee, Omoo, Redburn, White-Jacket, and Israel Potter. Samson demonstrates that in these novels Melville critically rewrote the sources on which he drew, in effect making the genre itself a subject of his writing.

In his introduction, Samson discusses Melvilles knowledge of the genre and its ideology. He then reads each novel in terms of Melvilles confrontation with its sources. In each, Samson says, an unreliable narrator represents particular ideological tendencies in Melvilles sources. Melville heightens and extends these tendencies, exposes the contradictions and biases within them, and ends by showing the narrator evading or denying experiences that conflict with his ideology. According to Samson, Melville sees the concept of historical progress as the basis of these biases and evasions.

In these five novels, Melville reveals the conflict between democratic, humanitarian, and individualistic principles, on the one hand, and the forces of racial superiority, religious bigotry, economic determinism, and political conservatism, on the other. Taken together, Samson asserts, these novels deconstruct the intellectual foundations of the form of historical narration endorsed by white patriarchal culture.

Scholars and students of nineteenth-century American literature, specialists in the novel, and other readers of Melville will welcome Samsons provocative reinterpretation of these key works in American culture.

It reclaims Mary as a great Catholic queen and fleshes out Philip`s contributions as king, exposing the sectarian historiography that has cast their reign in a negative light. An important corrective for the history of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain. -- .

Описание: Dit boek legt de managementaspecten van DevOps uit voor degenen die zich professioneel bezighouden met informatie- en technologiemanagement. Het is geschreven voor IT-specialisten, IT-managers en IT-executives. Het toont DevOps niet als een fenomeen dat geassocieerd wordt met nieuwe automatiseringstools, programmeertechnieken of -technologieen en het verschilt van andere boeken door het gestructureerde verhaal (misschien is het overmatig gestructureerd) en door de poging om het fenomeen DevOps volledig te dekken op zowel een basis- als een fundamenteel niveau. Door die benadering wordt de lezer zich bewust van het nieuwe onderwerp en helpt het boek de fundering de bouwen, de basis. De lezer leert over de oorsprong van DevOps, de onvermijdelijkheid van zijn opkomst, de belangrijkste voorwaarden ervan en hoe die in de praktijk tot uiting komen, over de praktijk zelf en de principes waarop die is gebaseerd.In dit boek staat de stof voor de EXIN DevOps Foundation certificering. Dit examen test het begrip van (1) de basisconcepten van DevOps, (2) hoe deze aan elkaar gerelateerd zijn, en (3) de waarde van DevOps voor de business. EXIN DevOps Foundation is het eerste niveau van het EXIN DevOps certificeringsprogramma. De EXIN DevOps Professional certificering test de kennis van de DevOps praktijk en van hoe teams te integreren. De EXIN DevOps Master certificering gaat over het bevorderen van organisatieverandering en over het toeleiden naar continu leveren en verbeteren.

Описание:

Samson Pollen (1931-2018) was one of the greatest illustration artists whose work appeared in vintage men's adventure magazines (MAMs) from the 1950s to the 1970s . Pollen's specialty was action--dynamic, explosive, outrageous action. Illustrating work from authors Mario Puzo, Martin Cruz Smith, Richard Stark, Norman Mailer, Ed McBain, Richard Wright, Don Pendleton, Erskine Caldwell, Walter Kaylin, Robert F. Dorr, Pollen's immersive illustrations transported adventure-hungry readers from tropical jungles to brutal battlefields to raging seas and mean city streets. Samson Pollen painted it all--spectacularly.

The Men's Adventure Library follows the first-ever collection of Samson Pollen's illustrations, Pollen's Women, with Pollen's Action, a deluxe new volume collecting the cream of Pollen's high-octane action paintings. Includes history and commentary by the editors and an introductory essay by the artist.

Описание: Twenty-first century education has really gone far. Many innovations and developments have taken the lead in primary and secondary education all around the world. Many schools today come up with better service delivery and new ways of handling children, especially in the elementary school stage. However, despite these new trends in education, many schools are still failing in their delivery. For some, it is their teaching methods; while for others, it is the lack of customer service approach, which is yet another neglect in paying attention to details in child psychology, student services, or financial drawback. It is in the mist of these myths that educational matters for school administrators and operators were born to bring solutions to these problems and give relevant steps, which will help make a better primary and secondary education if followed.

Описание: Three thousand years ago, Samson lived alongside an intelligent, technologically advanced, small nation, known as Philistia. Their leaders came up against a superhero with Asperger's Syndrome. It took tactics to place the strong man and considerable plotting to remove him, and the strategies didn't end there. What starts as a how-done-it, for those who think they know what happens, soon becomes a who-done-it. Based closely on historical sources, the key character is not Samson; it is the clever, charismatic, Mayor of Gaza. As the tale flares up from youthful gaming to political ploys, comic, tragic, battle, and romantic scenes unfold, leaving you guessing throughout and smiling at the end. ""Samson and Delilah: an old story reinvigorated by a contemporary retelling Bryan Winters has created a real page turner with his rich characterizations of the major players we have all heard of, while he complements these with an infilling of hitherto unknown characters who surprise and excite us, bringing new dimensions to the reading experience."" --John Long, Managing Director at RCG ""As a careful archeologist might pry loose an enlightening hidden treasure, so has Bryan Winters' research brought this story out of its repose. Deep in the pages of what some might term a mysterious document, this is a finely crafted tale, made possible for the eye and mind of today's readers. It caused me to ponder how difficult we make it for the creator, and how beyond our reasoning is the logic of his ways."" --Graham William Yearsley, founder, former CEO at Waterware Services Ltd, NZ ""A remarkable work of historical fiction, based on Israel and Philistia of 3,200 years ago. In a refreshing, modern style, with a subtle touch of humor, Bryan Winters brings to life this ancient story of Samson, his extraordinary strength, and his youthful, human failings. His power of descriptive detail adeptly transports us into the period, and we become completely absorbed as we witness Delilah's seduction and betrayal, and Samson's destruction of the pagan temple. This action thriller has everything--drama, political and commercial intrigue, spying, sound psychological insights, romance. . . . A great story, expertly told."" --George Bryant, author and publisher ""Bryan Winters quickly draws you into this intriguing historic novel; a reimagining of the classic tale of flawed Nazarite hero Samson, and his risky and risque life and legendary death. The writer populates place, time, and culture with solid research and his characters come alive through crisp storytelling. It had me from page one."" --Keith Newman, author of Bible & Treaty and Beyond Betrayal Bryan Winters is a New Zealander who has lived and worked around the world as a teacher and IT advisor. He is the author of The Bishop, the Mullah, and the Smartphone (2015).
