The Lion's Share A History of British Imperialism 1850 to the Present

The Lion's Share A History of British Imperialism 1850 to the Present

Updated to incorporate a substantial new epilogue considering Brexit and its ‘imperial’ implications the sixth edition of The Lion’s Share remains an essential introduction to British imperialism from its Victorian heyday to the present. Well-known for its vigorous and readable style this book presents a broad narrative of events and explores a number of general themes challenging more conventional and popular interpretations of British imperialism as well as the simplistic ‘for’ and ‘against’ arguments put forward in today’s ‘history wars’. Bernard Porter sees imperialism as a symptom not of Britain's strength in the world but of her decline and he argues that the empire itself both aggravated and obscured deep-seated malaise in the British economy. This sixth edition includes a final epilogue that engages with what Brexit means for British Imperial History and whether it represents an extension of or final conclusion to Britain’s Imperial Career. In so doing the book offers readers a thorough understanding of the history of British imperialism and its heritage extending right into the present day. Supported by maps images and an updated chronology The Lion’s Share is the perfect resource for both students and those interested in British and Imperial History from the Victorian era to the modern day. | The Lion's Share A History of British Imperialism 1850 to the Present

How and Why We Teach Shakespeare College Teachers and Directors Share How They Explore the Playwright’s Works with Their Students

How and Why We Teach Shakespeare College Teachers and Directors Share How They Explore the Playwright’s Works with Their Students

In How and Why We Teach Shakespeare 19 distinguished college teachers and directors draw from their personal experiences and share their methods and the reasons why they teach Shakespeare. The collection is divided into four sections: studying the text as a script for performance; exploring Shakespeare by performing; implementing specific techniques for getting into the plays; and working in different classrooms and settings. The contributors offer a rich variety of topics including: working with cues in Shakespeare such as line and mid-line endings that lead to questions of interpretation seeing Shakespeare’s stage directions and the Elizabethan playhouse itself as contributing to a play’s meaning using the gamified learning model or cue-cards to get into the text thinking of the classroom as a rehearsal playing the Friar to a student’s Juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet teaching Shakespeare to inner-city students or in a country torn by political and social upheavals. For fellow instructors of Shakespeare the contributors address their own philosophies of teaching the relation between scholarship and performance and—perhaps most of all—why in this age the study of Shakespeare is so important. Chapter 10 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4. 0 license. | How and Why We Teach Shakespeare College Teachers and Directors Share How They Explore the Playwright’s Works with Their Students

Competition versus Predation in Aviation Markets A Survey of Experience in North America Europe and Australia

Competition versus Predation in Aviation Markets A Survey of Experience in North America Europe and Australia

Prior to liberalization there was little scope for predatory behaviour in the aviation market. However following deregulation new entrants sought to compete with entrenched incumbents. Low-cost carriers (LCCs) gained significant market share which in turn provoked many different kinds of defensive response. Having put pressure on established carriers low-cost airlines are themselves feeling the pressure of competition from new operators. While it is normal and natural for airlines to react to competition - modifying their services the ways in which they offer them and their prices - when does aggressive commercial behaviour go too far and become predation? This book considers what exactly is meant by 'predation' in the aviation environment and explores the strategies LCCs adopt in order to gain market share as well as the strategies of the established airlines in response to competition from new entrants to the market. It also addresses the key question of what competition policy should do to ensure intensive competition. Competition versus Predation in Aviation Markets brings together contributions from around the world from airlines government agencies leading academics and consultants providing a wealth of perspectives on a business practice crucial to airline survival. | Competition versus Predation in Aviation Markets A Survey of Experience in North America Europe and Australia
