Crusades

Volume 5

By: Benjamin Z. Kedar,Jonathan Phillips,Jonathan Riley-Smith

Crusades covers seven hundred years from the First Crusade (1095-1102) to the fall of Malta (1798) and draws together scholars working on theatres of war, their home fronts and settlements from the Baltic to Africa and from Spain to the Near East and on theology, law, literature, art, numismatics and economic, social, political and military history. Routledge publishes this journal for The Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East. Particular attention is given to the publication of historical sources in all relevant languages - narrative, homiletic and documentary - in trustworthy editions, but studies and interpretative essays are welcomed too. Crusades appears in both print and online editions. Volume 5 is notable for John's France's article, 'Two types of vision on the First Crusade: Stephen of Valence and Peter Bartholomew'.

Amistad's Orphans

An Atlantic Story of Children, Slavery, and Smuggling

By: Benjamin Nicholas Lawrance

The lives of six African children, ages nine to sixteen, were forever altered by the revolt aboard the Cuban schooner La Amistad in 1839. Like their adult companions, all were captured in Africa and illegally sold as slaves. In this fascinating revisionist history, Benjamin N. Lawrance reconstructs six entwined stories and brings them to the forefront of the Amistad conflict. Through eyewitness testimonies, court records, and the children’s own letters, Lawrance recounts how their lives were inextricably interwoven by the historic drama, and casts new light on illegal nineteenth-century transatlantic slave smuggling.

The Peninsular Journal Of Major-General Sir Benjamin D’Urban: 1808-1817

The Peninsular Journal Of Major-General Sir Benjamin D’Urban: 1808-1817

By: Lieutenant-General Sir Benjamin D’Urban GCB KCH KCTS FRS

“Whether among the first three to charge the French guns at Medellin, leading his troopers into the enemy ranks at Salamanca, or evolving order out of the chaos that bedevilled the Portuguese Army in 1809, Sir Benjamin D’Urban was not only a brave and resolute soldier but also a painstaking and highly efficient Chief of Staff to Marshal Beresford. Finding, on arrival at Corunna in October 1808, that he had been appointed to that part of the Army left behind in Portugal, D’Urban set out to meet Sir John Moore in the hope of receiving fresh orders. This was the beginning of six years unbroken service which included taking part in ten battles and sieges. After a short period as Staff Officer to Sir Robert Wilson, he was appointed Colonel and QMG to the Portuguese Army by Marshal Beresford in April 1809. The Journals give a day to day summary of the Peninsular Campaign, which was found invaluable by Sir Charles Oman, and provides a counter to what D’Urban considered unfair criticism of Beresford by Sir Charles Napier. Long out of print, this unique record of events fills a need for everyone interested in the campaigns of 1809-1815, particularly in regard to the operations of the Right Wing of the Allied Army and of the part played by the Portuguese Army, which has not always received the credit due for some of its major exploits. The post-war Journals, 1815-1817, bring a telling insight to the problems faced by Beresford and his British officers as the Regents in Portugal aim at the destruction of the proud Army, so lovingly and laboriously created by the Marshal and his staff.”-Print ed.

The Co-evolution of Commodity Flows, Economic Geography, and Emissions

The Co-evolution of Commodity Flows, Economic Geography, and Emissions

By: Kieran Donaghy,Arash Beheshtian,Ziye Zhang,Benjamin Brown-Steiner

This book presents extensions to current commodity-flow models to analyze the economic and environmental impacts of recent structural changes, such as fragmentation of production and lengthening supply chains. The extensions enable augmented commodity-flow models to analyze the vulnerability of supply chains and regions to climate change and extreme weather events. The models allow the explicit treatment of trade in intermediate goods; the so-called “new economic geography” behavioral foundations for production and inter-industry and interregional trade; endogenous determination of capital investment and employment; and changes in emissions associated with production, consumption and freight movement. Presenting a modeling framework and simulations that are based on a thirty-year, spatial time-series of inter-industry and interstate trade in the US, this unique book is a valuable resource for regional scientists, economic geographers and transportation modelers, as well as environmental and atmospheric scientists.

Benjamin Disraeli Letters

1815-1834, Volume I

By: Benjamin Disraeli

The private letters of a statesman are always inviting material for historians and when he has claim to literary fame as well the correspondence assumes a double significance. Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) belonged to an age that gave pride of place to the written word as an instrument of both business and pleasure. This volume includes 363 letters (many previously unpublished) from his school boy days to his establishment in the Tory camp under the patronage of Lord Lyndhurst. Most prominent are Disraeli's letters to his sister, Sarah, with whom he corresponded frequently over several decades. To her he confided his hopes, interspersed with his observations and descriptions of social, literary and political events. The letters to Sarah supply a skeleton around which Disraeli's young manhood can be reconstructed and shed valuable light on the remaining documents in the volume. The correspondence also includes accounts of his tour of the Low Countries and the Rhine in 1824, his adventurous trip to Spain, Greece, the Near East and Egypt in 1830, his tense negotiations with publishers and his campaign to shine as a member of aristocratic society and win political patronage. The letters demonstrate the fine eye for detail and the capacity for self-dramatization and literary conceits which mark his novels. With their annotations they also provide a remarkably detailed account of life in the upper reaches of English society as viewed from below, and of Disraeli's ambitions to enter that life.

Intellectual Property in the Information Age

Knowledge as Commodity and Its Legal Implications for Higher Education: ASHE Higher Education Report

By: Jeffrey C. Sun,Benjamin Baez

This monograph pays special attention to the intellectual propertyof copyrights and patents. It examines how legal parameters,competing interests, and technological advances take shape ineconomic, political, and social contexts that require colleges anduniversities make intellectual property central to theiroperations. Economic, political and social forces are redefining knowledgeas property that can be owned, and institutions of highereducation, as producers of knowledge, are central participants ofthis phenomenon. Debates about intellectual property are rampant,some arguing that knowledge should not become a commodity forexchange, others than intellectual property fosters innovation insociety. What is not debatable is the importance of the law forresolving disputes about intellectual property. Today, the evolving legal context association with intellectualproperty and technological advancements have created competinginterests and demands from individuals, institutions and evennation. The law is often the realm in which these interests anddisputes take place, with more or less satisfying results. Collegesand universities must grapple with not only complex legal issuesbut also the philosophical and political consequences associatedwith the conversation of intellectual acts into property. This is the fourth issue in the 34th volume of the Jossey-Bassseries ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monographin the series is the definitive analysis of a tough highereducation problem, based on thorough research of pertinentliterature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified bya national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are thencommissioned to write the reports, with experts providing criticalreviews of each manuscript before publication.
