Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Originally published between 1927 and 1933 the 15 volumes in this set cover the whole ground of the Revolution the early history of Bolshevism and the state of Russia in the late 1920s and early 1930s. They present a broad panorama in which real problems are set against an historical background examining life under Bolshevism discussing the limitations in practice of Bolshevist politics the reality of the Soviet elections of the early 1920s and the growing influence of the Communist Party. Many of the books focus on aspects which the authors feel are of particular significance to Western readers and many such as the volume covering the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1919 show what many people in Western Europe were unaware of at the time: namely that one of the main prinicples behind the Bolshevist system was brutal force. Some of the volumes cover the Five-Year Plan in relation to industry agriculture labour banking and the budget but legal political and sociological aspects of the country are also covered. Importantly the direction US foreign policy should take in relation to Russia is also discussed – something which clearly has an enduring relevance today some 70 years after these books were first published. | Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

The History of Science

The History of Science

Science is one of the main features of the contemporary world and shapes our lives to an extent that has no precedents in history. Yet science as we know it today is the outcome of contingent social processes and its global success is far from self-explanatory. How did it happen? How did science emerge in history and became the most authoritative source of knowledge available in late modern societies? This set of volumes addresses these crucial questions through a selection of exemplary publications spanning antiquity to the present day. The reader will find an effective survey of the best scholarship in this rapidly growing field and a map of the main revolutions as well as the long-term continuities that have characterized our understanding the world and our attempts to control it. The collection brings together areas of inquiry that have become increasingly distant and specialized such as the history of antique science or Cold War studies within broader narratives of the making of the modern world. They also reassess the traditional assumption of the exclusively Greek and Western origins of modern science situating relevant knowledge practices and artefacts within the global networks that sustained them: in ancient as well as in modern times. The gathered materials address key historiographical issues such as the relationship between science magic and religion; the role of science in nation-building processes; and the relationship between science and technology. | The History of Science

Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Sound and Science in Nineteenth-Century Britain is a four-volume set of primary sources which seeks to define our historical understanding of the relationship between British scientific knowledge and sound between 1815 and 1900. In the context of rapid urbanization and industrialization as well as a growing overseas empire Britain was home to a rich scientific culture in which the ear was as valuable an organ as the eye for examining nature. Experiments on how sound behaved informed new understandings of how a diverse array of natural phenomena operated notably those of heat light and electro-magnetism. In nineteenth-century Britain sound was not just a phenomenon to be studied but central to the practice of science itself and broader understandings over nature and the universe. This collection accompanied by extensive editorial commentary will be of great interest to students and scholars of the History of Science. | Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Health Psychology

Health Psychology

In today’s sick world the application of psychological research and methods to issues about and around health could not be more important. Health psychologists pursue ambitious goals including: the promotion and maintenance of health; the prevention and management of illness; the improvement of healthcare systems; and the formulation of rational health policies. And they seek to understand dizzyingly difficult questions such as: how do people adapt to chronic illness? What factors influence healthy eating? How is stress linked to heart disease? And why do so many patients ignore medical advice and prescriptions? As research in and around health psychology burgeons as never before this new four-volume collection from Routledge’s acclaimed Critical Concepts in Psychology series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature. Edited by two leading scholars the collection gathers foundational and canonical work together with innovative and cutting-edge applications and interventions. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editors which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Health Psychology will be particularly useful as a one-stop database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar—and sometimes overlooked—texts. For researchers and advanced students it is a vital one-stop research and reference resource.

The International Library of Essays on Aviation Policy and Management: 6-Volume Set

The International Library of Essays on Aviation Policy and Management: 6-Volume Set

The development of civil aviation in the early 20th century presented a range of new legal and regulatory challenges concerning the rights of an aircraft from one state to enter the aerial territory of another. International flights threatened the territorial integrity of nation states and prompted politicians to draw up new aerial legislation and regulations to govern this new form of aerial movement. Whereas some states advocated free and open access to airspace and unrestricted aerial movement other nations pursued a more protectionist stance based on regulation and reciprocal access arrangements. Technological developments in aircraft design and performance combined with changing global political relations and the introduction of new forms of economic regulation have all fundamentally affected the development of air transport. | The International Library of Essays on Aviation Policy and Management: 6-Volume Set

Philosophy of Emotion

Philosophy of Emotion

Emotions punctuate almost all significant events in our lives but their nature causes and consequences are among the least well understood aspects of human experience. It is easier to express emotions than to describe them and even harder to analyse and explain them. Despite their apparent familiarity emotions are an extremely subtle and complex topic. Unfortunately the topic was neglected by philosophers and scientists in the past. In recent decades however interest in the emotions has grown considerably among scholars and students from many disciplines as well as among the public at large. If there is to be any progress in this theoretically and practically important field not only is a broad philosophical examination of basic concepts and issues essential (drawing both on analytical philosophy and phenomenology) but also an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophical analysis with other types of scientific research (such as psychology anthropology history sociology and brain sciences). The clarification of basic emotional concepts as well as the unification of linguistic usages across disciplines and natural languages are necessary for integrating the growing body of interdisciplinary emotional research (e. g. does the traditional German Gefühl correspond to feeling or to emotion? and what about Stimmung?). The contemporary philosophy of emotions is equipped for this integrative task. It can provide us with a better and more comprehensive picture of the nature of emotions.
