Georgia Boys with Stonewall Jackson

James Thomas Thompson and the Walton Infantry

By: Aurelia Austin

Published in 1967, the letters in this volume reveal the experiences of four Georgia soldiers who served in Company H of the Eleventh Regiment, Georgia Volunteers, under Stonewall Jackson. Most of the letters were written by James Thomas Thompson, a young farmer from Walton County. During the two years he served, Thompson seems to have never lost his enthusiasm for the soldier's life. His letters are full of admiration for his offi cers, comments about his duties, requests for clothing, accounts of marching, advice to his father about managing the plantation, and indications of his religious faith. Other letters were written by Kittrell Warren, Captain Matthew Talbot Nunnally, and William Laseter. From their correspondence emerges a vivid description of a soldier's daily life in the Civil War. Austin's historical narrative provides the reader with a context for the events discussed.

Loudoun County, Virginia Marriage Bonds, 1762-1850

Loudoun County, Virginia Marriage Bonds, 1762-1850

By: Aurelia M. Jewell

Dr. Bosworth's treatise on Randolph County is fairly evenly divided between local history and genealogy. The narrative begins with a recounting of the adventures of its pioneering British, Irish, and German families, like the Tygarts, the organization of the county and its court, and the laying out of towns before attending to such customary topics as conflicts between pioneers and Native Americans, road construction, education, the Civil War in Randolph County, Randolph County professionals, etc. Strewn among these chapters are valuable lists of marriages, public officials, land patents, soldiers, physicians, attorneys, and so on. Of even greater interest to researchers, of course, are the scores of biographical notes at the conclusion of the book and the roughly 100 genealogical sketches of Randolph County founding families.

Ozawa Ichirō and Japanese Politics

Old Versus New

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Ozawa Ichirō and Japanese Politics

Old Versus New

By: Aurelia George Mulgan

Ozawa Ichirō was the axis on which Japanese politics turned for more than two decades. He helped to reshape the electoral system, political funding rules, the evolution of the party system, the nature of executive government, the roles and powers of bureaucrats, and the conduct of parliamentary and policymaking processes. Admired and reviled in almost equal measure, Ozawa has been the most debated and yet least understood politician in Japan, with little agreement to be found amongst the many who have debated his patent political assets and palpable political flaws. This book examines the political goals, behaviour, methods and practices of Ozawa Ichirō, and in doing so, provides fascinating insights into the inner workings of Japanese politics. It explores Ozawa’s paradoxical and conflicting contributions in terms of two contrasting models of ‘old’ and ‘new’ politics. Indeed, therein lies the problem of understanding the ‘real’ Ozawa: he remained a practitioner of old politics despite his rhetorical agenda of change to bring about new politics. In seeking to unravel the Ozawa enigma, Aurelia George Mulgan reveals his primary motivations, to establish whether he sought power primarily to enact reforms, or, whether his reform goals simply disguised power-seeking objectives. This volume seeks to illuminate Ozawa’s true character as a politician, and untangle the complex elements of old and new politics that he represents. Through an in-depth study of Ozawa and his political activities, this book shows how the Japanese political system works at the micro level of individual politicians, political relationships and systems. As such it will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese politics, Asian politics and political systems.

Feminizing Political Discourse

British and Spanish Debates on Domestic Violence

By: Aurelia Carranza Márquez

El rol de la dona en la societat ha canviat dràsticament en els últims cent anys. Les antigues regles que governaven la societat ja no són vàlides ni importants, ara que les dones participen en la creació de les noves. La qüestió és fins a quin punt el gènere encara condiciona la contribució de les dones amb la societat. Aquest llibre se centra en el gènere com a component social i com a factor en les estratègies lingüístiques emprades en els contextos relacionats amb ell. A partir d'aquestes diferents consideracions s'ha creat un nou model, en el que es distingeixen dos nivells diferents: un de situació i presentació, i un altre més important encara, que mostra com un element pot estar present en ambdós nivells. En aquest sentit, el gènere pot ser un determinant social del parlant però també un factor en la persuasió lingüística.
