The Politics of Repeal A Study in the Relations between Great Britain and Ireland 1841-50

The Politics of Repeal A Study in the Relations between Great Britain and Ireland 1841-50

First published in 1965 The Politics of Repeal is primarily concerned with the last great campaign in Daniel O’Connell’s career and its impact on British and Irish politics. The 1840s were marked by a formidable agitation to have the Act of Union repealed and an independent Irish legislature restored. In attacking the Union between Great Britain and Ireland O’Connell encountered the sustained opposition of Sir Robert Peel and a study of the conflict between the two men is an important feature of the book. Dr. Nowlan also discusses the rise of the Young Ireland movement and the disputes between the Young Irelanders and O’Connell. The political developments during the dark years of the Great Famine are examined and a close study is made of the events leading up to the Irish rebellion of 1848 and of the relations between Irish nationalists and French republicans during that year of revolutions. This book will be of interest to students of Irish history British history and political science. | The Politics of Repeal A Study in the Relations between Great Britain and Ireland 1841-50

EU Trade Agreements and European Integration Commission Autonomy or Council Control?

EU Trade Agreements and European Integration Commission Autonomy or Council Control?

EU Trade Agreements and European Integration studies 50 bilateral trade agreements negotiated by the European Commission from 1970–2008 and how they shaped European integration. The book argues that the Commission used these trade agreements signed primarily with countries in Asia and Latin America to advance European integration by ensuring that they became wider in scope and institutionally deeper by establishing ‘joint bodies’ – even in the face of resistance from member states in the Council of the European Union. Drawing upon principal–agent theory to explain Commission autonomy and Council control as well as extensive archival material and other sources across six in-depth case studies it shows that the Commission primarily relied on asymmetric information to shape trade agreements in earlier negotiations. In later negotiations the Commission harnessed its agendasetting power to submit agreements that the Council could only accept or reject. Overall the book argues that these 50 trade agreements significantly impacted European integration by increasing the Commission’s external action capability transforming it into a truly global political actor – one trade agreement at a time. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of European Union Studies and EU policy-making practitioners involved in trade and external relations and engaged citizens in Europe and abroad particularly in India which is prominently featured in the book.

Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

The amputation of a limb is a surgical intervention used as a last resort to remove irreparably damaged diseased or congenitally malformed limbs where retention of the limb is a threat to the well-being of the individual. The procedure traumatically alters the body image but often leaves sensations that refer to the missing body part the phantom limb. In 50-80% of cases these sensations are perceived as painful and referred to as ‘Phantom Limb Pain’. Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain provides an overview of research experiences and results for the design development and test of hardware and software components and the ambition to safely implant and evaluate a novel neural interface system to combat phantom limb pain in an amputee volunteer subject.

Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Niccolò Ridolfi (1501–50) was a Florentine cardinal nephew and cousin to the Medici popes Leo X and Clement VII and he owed his status and wealth to their patronage. He remained actively engaged in Florentine politics above all during the years of crisis that saw the Florentine state change from republic to duchy. A widely respected patron and scholar throughout his life his sudden death during the conclave of 1549–50 led to allegations of poison that an autopsy appears to confirm. This book examines Cardinal Ridolfi and his court in order to understand the extent to which cardinalate courts played a key part in Rome’s resurgence and acted as hubs of knowledge located on the fault lines of politics and reform in church and state hospitable spaces that can be analysed in the context of entanglements in Florentine and Roman cultural and political patronage and intersections between the princely court and a more professional and complex knowledge and practice of household management in the consumer and service economy of early modern Rome. Based on an array of archival sources and on three treatises whose authors were closely linked to Ridolfi’s court this monograph explores these multidisciplinary intersections to allow the more traditional fields of church and political history to be approached from different angles. Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court will appeal to all those interested in the organisation of these elite establishments and their place in sixteenth-century Roman society the life and patronage of Niccolò Ridolfi in the context of the Florentine exiles who desired a return to republicanism and the history of the Roman Catholic Church. | Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

Tracing presidential administrations since Lyndon B. Johnson this book argues that the Trump administration's policy toward Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem is not an aberration but the culmination of over 50 years of American foreign policy. Under the Johnson administration the United States rhetorically supported the applicability of international law regarding Israeli settlements. However throughout the 1970s administrations did little to reverse the construction and expansion of settlements. Moreover presidents sent mixed signals regarding Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories. The Israeli settlement movement received support when Reagan argued that settlements were not illegal. Since then American presidents have opposed settlement activity to various degrees but not based on their illegality. Rather presidents have described them as unwise unhelpful or obstacles to peace. Even when presidents have had opportunities to confront Israeli settlements directly domestic pressure and America's special relationship with Israel have prevented serious action beyond rhetoric and condemnation. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of the history and politics of American foreign policy American relations with Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. | American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)

South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)

First published in 1975 South Wales Miners starts with the War of Empires when nearly 50 000 Welsh miners almost one-fifth of the total manpower of their coalfield responded to the call and voluntarily enlisted in the British armed forces. The author uncovers how the coalowners in the meantime took advantage of the war emergency to deny the remaining miners a fair recompense for their toil and of the bitter strife that followed. The book tells the story of what led up to the General Strike and here the author uses hitherto hidden sources of information. The picture is revealed of what was a virtual conspiracy between the Baldwin-Churchill Government and the mineowners not only to cut wages and lengthen hours but to cripple British trade unionism. When the miners held out through a seven-month lockout the efforts of these highly placed conspirators recoiled on their own heads and on the whole economy of British Empire. This book will be of interest to students of history labour studies economics and political science. | South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)
