Описание:
Courts and societies across the early modern Eurasian world were fundamentally transformed by the physical, technological, and conceptual developments of their era. Evolving forms of communication, greatly expanded mobility, the spread of scientific knowledge, and the emergence of an increasingly integrated global economy all affected how states articulated and projected visions of authority into societies that, in turn, perceived and responded to these visions in often contrasting terms. Landscape both reflected and served as a vehicle for these transformations, as the relationship between the land and its imagination and consumption became a fruitful site for the negotiation of imperial identities within and beyond the precincts of the court. In Landscape and Authority in the Early Modern World, contributors explore the role of landscape in the articulation and expression of imperial identity and the mediation of relationships between the court and its many audiences in the early modern world. Nine studies focused on the geographical areas of East and South Asia, the Islamic world, and Europe illuminate how early modern courts and societies shaped, and were shaped by, the landscape, including both physical sites, such as gardens, palaces, cities, and hunting parks, and conceptual ones, such as those of frontiers, idealized polities, and the cosmos. The collected essays expand the meaning and potential of landscape as a communicative medium in this period by putting an array of forms and subjects in dialogue with one another, including not only unique expressions, such as gardens, paintings, and manuscripts, but also the products of rapidly developing commercial technologies of reproduction, especially print. The volume invites a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the complexity with which early modern states constructed and deployed different modes of landscape for different audiences and environments.

Описание: This book offers a holistic and comprehensive assessment of the European Union's relations with Africa, focusing on their historical, political, socio-economic, and cultural dimensions. In the high imperial period from the nineteenth century, some in Europe advocated the idea of 'Eurafrique' - a formula for putting Africa's resources at the disposal of Europe's industries. After tracing Europe's historical attempts to remodel relations following African independence from the 1960s and Europe's own quest for unity, this book examines the current strategic dimensions of the relationship, especially the place of Africa in Europe's own need for global partnerships. Key issues are then analysed, from trade and investment to the growing priorities of security and governance, offering case histories of the role of key European players in Africa - France, Britain, Portugal, and the Nordics - within the context of the EU. The volume concludes by examining the important issues of migration and identity, especially in view of Europe's controversial immigration policies and complex relations with the Maghreb and Mediterranean, as well as perceptions of past and current European identity. This book argues that Africa and Europe still appear not to have fully escaped the burdens of history, and examines the feasibility of elaborating and practising, in future, an 'Afro-Europa': a new relationship of genuine equality, partnership, and mutual self-interest between both continents that sheds the baggage of the 'Eurafrique' past.

Описание:
Young coal wagoner, Corbett Jones, has a bright future ahead of him. He's got a good job and the love of a beautiful girl, when he is struck with an unspeakable tragedy. In one bloody afternoon, he loses everyone he loves. Adrift in a sea of terrible grief, he seeks out his one remaining family member, the embarrassing father he barely knows.
Befriended by a tiny miner, a mothering prostitute and a powerful mine owner, Corbett navigates his way through trauma and into manhood. He discovers a love of reading and seeks to further his education. He is attractive to women but keeps them at a distance. To him, love equals death. Will he be able to put his tragic past behind him to find love again? Will the search for that love push him into ranching or will his love of reading propel him into being a schoolmaster?
From the mining country of southern Colorado to the logging camps of Northern Oregon, Corbett ranges across the landscape of the West in the late nineteenth century. He faces danger and adversity every step of the way, trying to become the man his father never was. Although he is devastated by loss, he battles a tremendous set of obstacles to achieve his destiny. Will his path always be a lonely one? Will the guilty constraints of his broken heart ease enough to allow him to love again?
