Reading the Boss - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Reading the Boss: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Works of Bruce Springsteen, edited by Roxanne Harde and Irwin Streight, draws together close readings of Bruce Springsteen''s lyrics by scholars across a range of academic disciplines. The editors first make a compelling comparison between Bruce Springsteen and William Shakespeare, carefully building the argument that both men offer profound insight into the hungry human heart. Springsteen, they argue, uses many Shakespearean themes such as the ties of blood and friendship, commitment to country and community, the monsters of lust and jealousy, vanity and power, and the hopeful pursuit of real love. These themes lift his music beyond stories of characters casing the Promised Land of America to universal matters of the heart''s truth wherever it is found. Then, the twelve chapters of Reading the Boss, written by established and emerging scholars, engage readers both critically and enthusiastically with central issues in Bruce Springsteen''s writing, as they read his explorations of gender, place, religion, philosophy, and other literary texts, notably the works of Walker Percy and Flannery O''Connor. Driven by arguments grounded in a wide variety of theoretical and critical positions, these essays offer a comprehensive and accessible discussion of Springsteen''s oeuvre, from Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. to Working on a Dream that will appeal to both specialist readers and Springsteen fans alike.

Boss Ruef's San Francisco - Walton Bean - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Boss Ruef's San Francisco - Walton Bean - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Boss Ruef's San Francisco offers a riveting exploration of political corruption, labor politics, and reform in early 20th-century urban America, as told through the colorful and complex career of Abe Ruef. At the center of this meticulously researched narrative is Ruef's rise as a city boss, his opportunistic leadership of the Union Labor Party, and the subsequent scandals that brought both him and his party to disgrace. The book delves into Ruef's unique characteristics—his Jewish ancestry, intellectual brilliance, and legal acumen—and examines how his manipulation of labor politics in San Francisco reflected broader tensions between rapid urbanization, big business, and the fragility of democratic governance. This study also chronicles one of the most determined and revealing graft prosecutions in American history. Fueled by the collaboration of crusading editor Fremont Older, financier Rudolph Spreckels, and a team of notable figures including prosecutor Francis J. Heney, detective William J. Burns, and future California Governor Hiram W. Johnson, the investigation exposed the pervasive corruption linking business and politics. Set against the backdrop of San Francisco’s recovery from the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, Boss Ruef's San Francisco paints a vivid panorama of a city and era in transition, offering a compelling case study of urban bossism, reformist zeal, and the enduring challenges of political accountability. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

The Earth Can Feed Us - Hugo Osvald - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1966, the extremely urgent task confronting our generation – to produce food in sufficient quantity and of adequate quality for the world’s rapidly increasing population – may have appeared terrifyingly great and very difficult to solve. In fact, some regarded it as impossible, visualising a world in which the population would increase quicker even than scientific man could feed it and seeing a solution only in wholesale birth control. To these Hugo Osvald, a Scandinavian nutrition expert, did not belong. He surveys all the means, scientific and agricultural at our disposal at the time and reveals that, by their rapid development, enough food can be produced for a world population several times larger than at present. There are practically no limits, he said, to the possibilities of producing food. We were utilizing only a small percentage of the earth’s capacity. Even the lands where starvation was prevalent have the same basic necessary conditions for a vast improvement: fertile soil, water and labour. Knowledge and guidance were already available and could be increased. Dams, irrigation systems, transport facilities and power supplies, fertilizer factories, plant breeding and protection, animal husbandry, technical education – all these could be provided and the possibilities of the oceans as a source of supply had scarcely been explored. The author considered all these factors and the problems involved, and brings a convincing answer to the pessimists. With food poverty still an issue today, this book can be read in its historical context.

Trading with the Enemy - Hugo (dr Meijer - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Trading with the Enemy - Hugo (dr Meijer - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, Trading with the Enemy examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People''s Republic of China (PRC). To do so, Hugo Meijer investigates a strategically sensitive yet under-explored facet of US-China relations: the making of American export control policy on military-related technology transfers to China since 1979. Trading with the Enemy is the first monograph on this dimension of the US-China relationship in the post-Cold War. Based on 199 interviews, declassified documents, and diplomatic cables leaked by Wikileaks, two major findings emerge from this book. First, the US is no longer able to apply a strategy of military/technology containment of China in the same way it did with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This is because of the erosion of its capacity to restrict the transfer of military-related technology to the PRC. Secondly, a growing number of actors in Washington have reassessed the nexus between national security and economic interests at stake in the US-China relationship by moving beyond the Cold War trade-off between the two in order to maintain American military preeminence vis-à-vis its strategic rivals. By focusing on how states manage the heterogeneous and potentially competing security and economic interests at stake in a bilateral relationship, this book seeks to shed light on the evolving character of interstate rivalry in a globalized economy, where rivals in the military realm are also economically interdependent.
