Tradition, Community, and Nationhood in Richard Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

By: Christopher Kimbell

Since its premiere in 1868, Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg has defied repeated upheavals in the cultural-political landscape of German statehood to retain its unofficial status as the German national opera. The work’s significance as a touchstone of national culture survived even such troubling episodes as its public endorsement in 1933 as ‘the most German of all German operas’ by Joseph Goebbels or the rendition in previous years by audiences at Bayreuth of both national and Nazi-party anthems at the work’s culmination. This chequered reception history and apparent propensity for reinterpretation or reclamation has long fuelled debates over the socio-political meanings of Wagner’s musical narrative. On the question of Beckmesser, for instance, heated arguments have surrounded the existence of antisemitic stereotypes in the work as well as their possible indication of a racial-political dimension to Sachs’s restoration of Nuremberg society. Through a combination of musical-textual analysis with critical theory, this book interrogates the ideological underpinnings of Die Meistersinger’s narrative. In four interconnected studies of the characters of Walther, Sachs, Beckmesser, and Eva, the book traces a critical potential within the opera’s construction of provincial and national identities and problematizes existing discourse around its depiction of race and gender.

Twenty-First Century Procedure

By: Christopher B. Mueller

Twenty-First Century Procedure, Second Edition presents the major themes of U.S. civil litigation – the adversary system, our dedication to the use of juries in civil cases, our American brand of federalism and its impact on the judicial system and litigation generally, and the relatively recent development of managerial judging – for an introductory course on civil procedure. With its contemporary perspective, Twenty-First Century Procedure includes discussion of modern problems, such as E-discovery and the requirement of careful scrutiny during the certification stage of class suits. The skillful pedagogy evident throughout the book is designed to provide context for the understanding of doctrines and issues, and to stimulate classroom discussion. Expository text introduces students to the issues, followed by carefully edited cases that resolve some of the more important isssues, practical Problems, and Notes and Questions that aid the process of analysis. Pictures and sidebars provide additional context and pique student interest. A statutory supplement is published annually.

Public Governance as Co-creation

A Strategy for Revitalizing the Public Sector and Rejuvenating Democracy

By: Christopher Ansell,Jacob Torfing

We need new governance solutions to help us improve public policies and services, solve complex societal problems, strengthen social communities and reinvigorate democracy. By changing how government engages with citizens and stakeholders, co-creation provides an attractive and feasible approach to governance that goes beyond the triptych of public bureaucracy, private markets and self-organized communities. Inspired by the successful use of co-creation for product and service design, this book outlines a broad vision of co-creation as a strategy of public governance. Through the construction of platforms and arenas to facilitate co-creation, this strategy can empower local communities, enhance broad-based participation, mobilize societal resources and spur public innovation while building ownership for bold solutions to pressing problems and challenges. The book details how to use co-creation to achieve goals. This exciting and innovative study combines theoretical argument with illustrative empirical examples, visionary thinking and practical recommendations.

By: Christopher Martin

A detailed and engrossing primer for anyone interested in ENS."--James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art "Chris is addressing a tremendously important issue in otolaryngology. Empty nose syndrome is a real entity that requires further investigation. Although Chris' book is written for the general public, I truly hope my colleagues in ENT will read this book and take it to heart."--Steven M. Houser, MD, ENT specialist, MetroHealth Medical Center, professor, Case Western Reserve University, and wrote the foreword for this book.

But you can also reduce your risk - whether you choose surgery or not - and you can even manage it. Having Nasal Surgery? will show you how. +Are you considering nasal surgery, but would like to avoid becoming an empty nose syndrome (ENS) patient? +Would you like to make sure you have explored all the alternatives before undergoing nasal surgery? +Have you already rolled the dice with nasal surgery, but lost? If you answered yes to any of the above, read on. Endorsed by top doctors familiar with ENS, Having Nasal Surgery? will help you: +Avoid becoming an empty nose syndrome patient. +Lower your risk of ENS if you do choose nasal surgery. +Exhaust non-surgical remedies to treat your condition whether you suffer from sleep apnea, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, postnasal drip, GERD, or asthma. +Effectively manage ENS. +Be inspired by a personal tale.

It also calmed my anxieties about ENS..."-- Matt R on Amazon.com "An ideal sourcebook on ENS...All nasal doctors should have on their shelves and be ready to pass on to patients."-- Les Chappell of BookReview.com "I just spoke to an Australian ENT, returned from training with the ex-president of the US Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Association who now agrees with the basic principles behind this book and "would not perform a partial inferior turbinate resection on a member of my family." And I was about to let my regular ENT perform an 80% resection!... until I saw this book."--Bard on Amazon.com

Twelve Voices from Greece and Rome

Ancient Ideas for Modern Times

By: Christopher Pelling,Maria Wyke

Twelve Voices from Greece and Rome is a book for all readers who want to know more about the literature that underpins Western civilization. Chistopher Pelling and Maria Wyke provide a vibrant and distinctive introduction to twelve of the greatest authors from ancient Greece and Rome, writers whose voices still resonate strongly across the centuries: Homer, Sappho, Herodotus, Euripides, Thucydides, Plato, Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Horace, Juvenal and Tacitus. To what vital ideas do these authors give voice? And why are we so often drawn to what they say even in modern times? Twelve Voices investigates these tantalizing questions, showing how these great figures from classical antiquity still address some of our most fundamental concerns in the world today (of war and courage, dictatorship and democracy, empire, immigration, city life, art, madness, irrationality, and religious commitment), and express some of our most personal sentiments (about family and friendship, desire and separation, grief and happiness). These twelve classical voices can sound both compellingly familiar and startlingly alien to the twenty-first century reader. Yet they remain suggestive and inspiring, despite being rooted in their own times and places, and have profoundly affected the lives of those prepared to listen to them right up to the present day.

Anachronic Renaissance

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Anachronic Renaissance

By: Alexander Nagel,Christopher S. Wood

A reconsideration of the problem of time in the Renaissance, examining the complex and layered temporalities of Renaissance images and artifacts. In this widely anticipated book, two leading contemporary art historians offer a subtle and profound reconsideration of the problem of time in the Renaissance. Alexander Nagel and Christopher Wood examine the meanings, uses, and effects of chronologies, models of temporality, and notions of originality and repetition in Renaissance images and artifacts. Anachronic Renaissance reveals a web of paths traveled by works and artists—a landscape obscured by art history's disciplinary compulsion to anchor its data securely in time. The buildings, paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and medals discussed were shaped by concerns about authenticity, about reference to prestigious origins and precedents, and about the implications of transposition from one medium to another. Byzantine icons taken to be Early Christian antiquities, the acheiropoieton (or “image made without hands”), the activities of spoliation and citation, differing approaches to art restoration, legends about movable buildings, and forgeries and pastiches: all of these emerge as basic conceptual structures of Renaissance art. Although a work of art does bear witness to the moment of its fabrication, Nagel and Wood argue that it is equally important to understand its temporal instability: how it points away from that moment, backward to a remote ancestral origin, to a prior artifact or image, even to an origin outside of time, in divinity. This book is not the story about the Renaissance, nor is it just a story. It imagines the infrastructure of many possible stories.

Continuing the Architecture in Context series, this second volume narrates the development of architecture across a huge swathe of the world, from the Indian subcontinent to the Japanese archipelago, over a period extending from prehistory to the arrival of Islam and its distinct traditions from the eleventh century onwards. Fantastically illustrated, with over 1,000 photographs and drawings, Christopher Tadgell covers the major architectural traditions of India, China, Thailand and Japan as well as the spectacular architecture of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Korea, Myenmar, Bhutan and Tibet. As with the first volume – Antiquity – The East presents not only the buildings themselves, but the cultures and peoples that they are a part of. Unprecedented in its scope, this volume is a beautiful guide to the fascinating history of Eastern architecture.

1000 Monuments of Genius

By: Christopher E.M. Pearson

Since the mythical Tower of Babel, humans have continuously tried to erect monuments to match their oversized egos. With ancient ziggurats, the Taj Mahal or the Empire State Building, man has for centuries demonstrated his force by raising structures for purposes both religious and profane. As international cultural statements without words, symbols of a peoples values devotion, patriotism, power symbols of a civilisationÊs grandeur, these monuments still fascinate and attract an ever-growing public who is captivated by the createvity and ingenuity of these architects and stonemasons. Their historical message goes far beyond mere art history, for they tell us of the lives and evolution of the peoples of the past, as does the Parthenon in Athens, many times destroyed, rebuilt, reused, attacked, pillaged, and restored once again today. This work, featuring 1000 monuments chosen from around the globe, retraces human history, the techniques, styles, and philosophies necessary for the construction of so many splendours over the centuries, providing a panorama of the most celebrated monuments while evoking the passion of their makers. The reader can explore the changing values of humanity through the edifices it has built and understand these structures as triumphs of humankind

The World in His Hands

A Christian Account of Scientific Law and its Antithetical Competitors

By: Christopher Lee Bolt

From the moment we wake until the time we go to sleep, we are bombarded by the benefits of science in the practical elements of everyday life. Electricity, lights, hot showers, breakfast cereals, clothing, cars, cell phones, roads, security systems, computers, communications, traffic lights, climate control, and entertainment are just a sampling of the many benefits of science. In addition to technological advances, medicine and agriculture progress with science as well. Even educational, political, and marketing strategists invoke science to substantiate their claims. Science dominates the collective Western mindset, and we regard it with the utmost respect. Yet society remains generally religious, even though science and religion are frequently thought of as being at odds with one another. How do we reconcile the two? Christians are taught to believe that God is in control of everything, including the natural elements. But how does God relate to physical laws? Is God in control of the world, or laws of nature? Could both views be correct? This book examines the Christian doctrine of divine providence and its implications for the laws of nature and the problem of induction before contrasting secular and Islamic approaches to these same topics.

¿Cirugía nasal? ¡No caiga en las garras del síndrome de la nariz vacía!

By: Christopher Martin

¿Cirugía nasal? ¡No caiga en las garras del síndrome de la nariz vacía! es una fiel traducción de la obra publicada por Christopher Martin ‘Having Nasal Surgery? Don’t You Become An Empty Nose Victim!, si bien la edición española incluye un nuevo prólogo del Dr. Steven M. Houser donde refiere el creciente interés mostrado por la comunidad médica en el síndrome, siendo muestra de ello la nueva bibliografía aparecida, añade nuevas páginas webs y libros de interés en los Apéndices B y D e incluye las referencias bibliográficas médicas aparecidas desde el año 2007, en que fue publicada la obra original, al año 2015. ¿Se ha sometido a una cirugía nasal? ¿se encuentra peor que antes de haberse sometido a una cirugía nasal? Si es así, usted podría ser uno de los millones de personas que padecen una afección médica grave conocida como el síndrome de nariz vacía (SNV), una complicación de la cirugía. Los síntomas del SNV incluyen dificultad para respirar, a pesar de tener una buena permeabilidad nasal,, sequedad nasal, irritación de garganta, mucosidad espesa y pegajosa, sueño superficial y, a veces, sinusitis crónica. Muchos pacientes con el SNV sufren debido a él graves depresiones e incluso algunos se suicidaron debido a los insoportables síntomas causados por el SNV. Gracias al esfuerzo y respaldo de reconocidos especialistas en SNV, Christopher Martin aporta y ofrece un mensaje genuino al lector y una esperanza para el paciente gravemente dañado por el SNV en su libro basándose en: 1.- Su propio testimonio con el que explica como él mismo viene manejando con éxito el SNV que padece desde años. 2.- Una crítica profunda y bien fundamentada de las cirugías turbinales o también conocidas como cirugías de los cornetes nasales o conchas nasales, que se expone a fin de que sea contemplada antes de que los pacientes que sufran obstrucción nasal decidan si someterse a una intervención para aliviar dicha obstrucción. 3.- Una aproximación crítica a las causas que permiten que todavía millones de personas se sometan cirugías que podrían causar el SNV. 4.- Los mejores tratamientos para SNV, muchos de los cuales también se aplican a la sinusitis, rinitis alérgica, goteo posnasal, ERGE y asma. "Chris está abordando un tema tremendamente importante en otorrinolaringología. El síndrome de la nariz vacía es una entidad real que requiere más investigación. Aunque el libro de Chris está escrito para el público en general, realmente espero que mis colegas de otorrinolaringología lo lean y lo tomen en serio . "- Steven M. Houser, MD, otorrinolaringólogo en el MetroHealth Medical Center, Profesor en la Case Western Reserve University y autor del prólogo de este libro. La edición en lengua inglesa del libro fue galardonada con la medalla de bronce en las materias relativas a salud, medicina y nutrición el año 2008 en el ámbito de la edición independiente.

San Francisco's Parks

By: Christopher Pollock

San Francisco was incorporated in 1850, when there was just one communal outdoor space: Portsmouth Square. The square was the literal nucleus of planning for the city, as development maps were measured from its center point. Over time, the city developed into the current metropolis with a population of around 815,000. In a reflection of that growth, 230 parks are now governed and maintained by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department. The variety of spaces administered by the department includes parks, playgrounds, miniparks, open spaces, and community gardens--within these, many different activities and programs are on offer. In 2017, San Francisco was cited as the nation's first city where every resident lives within a 10-minute walk to a park; this was calculated by the Trust for Public Land, a national nonprofit that facilitates the creation of parks and analyzes parks for the nation's 100 largest cities.

The Old Federal Road in Alabama

An Illustrated Guide

By: Kathryn H. Braund,Gregory A. Waselkov,Raven M. Christopher

A concise illustrated guidebook for those wishing to explore and know more about the storied gateway that made possible Alabama's development Forged through the territory of the Creek Nation by the United States federal government, the Federal Road was developed as a communication artery linking the east coast of the United States with Louisiana. Its creation amplified already tense relationships between the government, settlers, and the Creek Nation, culminating in the devastating Creek War of 1813–1814, and thereafter it became the primary avenue of immigration for thousands of Alabama settlers. Central to understanding Alabama’s territorial and early statehood years, the Federal Road was both a physical and symbolic thoroughfare that cut a swath of shattering change through the land and cultures it traversed. The road revolutionized Alabama’s expansion, altering the course of its development by playing a significant role in sparking a cataclysmic war, facilitating unprecedented American immigration, and enabling an associated radical transformation of the land itself. The first half of The Old Federal Road in Alabama: An Illustrated Guide offers a narrative history that includes brief accounts of the construction of the road, the experiences of historic travelers, and descriptions of major changes to the road over time. The authors vividly reconstruct the course of the road in detail and make use of a wealth of well-chosen illustrations. Along the way they give attention to the very terrain it traversed, bringing to life what traveling the road must have been like and illuminating its story in a way few others have ever attempted. The second half of the volume is divided into three parts—Eastern, Central, and Southern—and serves as a modern traveler’s guide to the Federal Road. This section includes driving tours and maps, highlighting historical sites and surviving portions of the old road and how to visit them.

The British Television Pilot Episodes Research Guide 1936-2015

By: Christopher Perry

A new idea can become an expensive flop for TV executives. So from the earliest days of television, the concept of a pilot episode seemed like a good idea. Trying out new actors; new situations and new concepts before making a series was good economical sense. It was also tax deductible. Sometimes these pilots were shown on television; sometimes they were so awful they were hidden from sight in archives; and sometimes they were excellent one-offs, but a series seemed elusive and never materialised. Chris Perry has always been fascinated by the pilot episode. So many pilots are made annually, but never seen by audiences. Only a handful appear on screen. It's a hidden world of comedy, variety, drama and factual programming. This volume attempts to lift the lid on the world of the TV pilot by revealing the many transmitted and untransmitted episodes made through the decades.

Christianity and Confucianism

Culture, Faith and Politics

By: Christopher Hancock

Christianity and Confucianism: Culture, Faith and Politics, sets comparative textual analysis against the backcloth of 2000 years of cultural, political, and religious interaction between China and the West. As the world responds to China's rise and China positions herself for global engagement, this major new study reawakens and revises an ancient conversation. As a generous introduction to biblical Christianity and the Confucian Classics, Christianity and Confucianism tells a remarkable story of mutual formation and cultural indebtedness. East and West are shown to have shaped the mind, heart, culture, philosophy and politics of the other - and far more, perhaps, than either knows or would want to admit. Christopher Hancock has provided a rich and stimulating resource for scholars and students, diplomats and social scientists, devotees of culture and those who pursue wisdom and peace today.

Robert and Frances Flaherty

A Documentary Life, 1883-1922

By: Robert J. Christopher

Robert Flaherty's groundbreaking Nanook of the North (1922) - the chronicle of one year in the life of an Inuit hunter and his family in the Hudson Bay region - was the first full-length anthropological documentary in cinematic history. Before Nanook, Flaherty endured a number of failures, disappointments, and false starts. Drawing from the unpublished diaries of Flaherty and his wife, Frances, Robert Christopher's biography fills in crucial background in the emergence of a documentary film legend. Previous biographical emphasis on Nanook has not only obscured Flaherty's early career but also neglected the critical contributions Frances made to his development as an artist. Robert and Frances Flaherty charts her transformation from a Bryn Mawr bluestocking to the partner of a frontier explorer and offers her unique perspective as his collaborator and publicist. From iron prospector to photographer to filmmaker, Flaherty's early life is situated in the context of his explorations of the Canadian north and its peoples, the development of modern cinema, the rise of modernism, and his association with significant figures such as Alfred Adler, Franz Boas, Edward Curtis, and Alfred Steiglitz.

Reinventing the Latino Television Viewer

Language, Ideology, and Practice

By: Christopher Chávez

Reinventing the Latino Television Viewer: Language, Ideology, and Practice examines how the relationship between language, power, and industry practice is reshaping the very concept of Hispanic television. Chávez argues that as established mainstream networks enter the Hispanic television space, they are redefining the Latino audience in ways that more closely resemble the mainstream population, leading to auspicious forms of erasure that challenge the legitimacy of Spanish altogether. This book presents the integration of English into the Hispanic television space not as an entirely new phenomenon, but rather as an extension of two ongoing practices within the television industry—the exploitation of consumer markets and the suppression of Latino forms of speech.
