The Rise of Universities

The Rise of Universities

At the time of its publication in 1923 Charles Homer Haskins' The Rise of Universities was considered remarkable for its erudition succinctness and balance. The his-torian Theodor Mommsen described it as a work which has remained unsurpassed in the conciseness and vividness of its account. Eight decades after its appearance it remains fresh and informative. It has not been surpassed and is as invaluable as ever. Haskins traces the rise of the mediaeval university as one phase of the intellectual awakening in Europe in the late Middle Ages in an effort to broaden our understanding of the ancient and universal company of scholars. In the depth and breadth of its analysis there is no better portrait of universities during their infancy in the Middle Ages. With great detail and preci-sion Haskins describes the university's curriculum teaching teachers and students. Drawing deeply on his knowledge as one of the leading mediaeval scholars of his day he provides an exceptionally vivid picture of student life of tht time through his analysis of their manuals letters and poetry. The Rise of Universities goes far beyond its central subject to offer a broad description of the social conditions in which universities took root and flourished. At the same time one cannot read Haskins without seeing the influences of the mediaeval university on contemporary institutions of higher learning. The Rise of Universities reminds us that the univer-sity has not only been a crucible fostering intellectual inquiry and creativity but continues after eight hundred years to be a center of teaching and learning. In his new introduction Lionel S. Lewis develops Haskins' passing observation that the university of the twentieth cen-tury is the lineal descendant of mediaeval Paris and Bologna and considers the question of why universities came into being at the particular time in history when they did. The Rise of the Universities will be of interest to educators and students who wish to better understand the institutions in which they have lived taught and been taught.

The Rise of the Republican Right From Goldwater to Reagan

The Rise of the Republican Right From Goldwater to Reagan

Few scholars have paid close attention to the factors internal to the Republican Party that helped the Right to consolidate its power within the party between the 1960s and the 1980s. Plugging the gap in party literature The Rise of the Republican Right: From Goldwater to Reagan provides a comprehensive account of the rise of the Republican Right in the years between Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential defeat and the election of Ronald Reagan as president in 1980. Specifically it offers a historical-institutional analysis of the organizational factors internal to the Republican Party that helped the conservative Right maintain and then expand its ascendant position within the GOP in the critical years between Goldwater and Reagan. Brian M. Conley demonstrates how the growth of the Right during this period was aided by a desire on the part of many Republican leaders to rebound from electoral defeat by rebuilding the party organizationally rather than reforming it politically through the introduction of a more service -oriented party structure. The Rise of the Republican Right will interest academics party scholars and researchers eager to gain a more nuanced understanding of the factors that helped the Right become a dominant force within the Republican Party. | The Rise of the Republican Right From Goldwater to Reagan

The Rise of the Victorian Actor

The Rise of the Victorian Actor

Originally published in 1978. Between 1830 and 1890 the English theatre became recognisably modern. Standards of acting and presentation improved immeasurably new playwrights emerged theatres became more comfortable and more intimate and playgoing became a national pastime with all classes. The actor’s status rose accordingly. In 1830 he had been little better than a social outcast; by 1880 he had become a member of a skilled relatively well-paid and respected profession which was attracting new recruits in unprecedented numbers. This is a social history of Victorian actors which seeks to show how wider social attitudes and developments affected the changing status of acting as a profession. Thus the stage’s relationship with the professional world and the other arts is dealt with and is followed by an assessment of the moral and religious background which played so decisive a part in contemporary attitudes to actors. The position of actresses in particular is given special consideration. Many non-theatrical sources are used here and there is a survey of salaries and working conditions in the theatre to show how the rising social status of the actor was matched by changes in his theatrical standing. A novel area of study is covered in tracing the changing social composition of the acting profession over the period and in exploring the case-histories of three generations of performers. | The Rise of the Victorian Actor

The Rise of Business Ethics

The Rise of Business Ethics

In 1973 Daniel Bell argued that corporations in post-industrial societies increasingly needed to behave in accord with widely accepted social norms particularly in terms of ethical behavior and social responsibility. Yet widespread criticism of business behavior was not an invention of the 1960s and 70s or a product of changing commercial norms. The key feature historically has been business scandal. Understandings of how the field of business ethics has emerged are undeveloped however. This book is the first attempt to explain the conditions which saw a focus develop on business ethics especially in the 1960s and 70s and how the broader field developed to encompass related notions such as corporate governance corporate social responsibility ethical leadership sustainable business and responsible management education. The Rise of Business Ethics provides an introduction and analysis of the key developments in contemporary business ethics by examining them in terms of their diachronic development – the key thinkers the key issues the key institutions and how they each contributed to contemporary understandings of business ethics governance and practice. Addressing the topic from a European as well as North American perspective The Rise of Business Ethics will be of interest to researchers academics and students in the fields of business ethics business and society business history organization studies and political economy.

The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting An Ethnography of Deviant Entrepreneurship

The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting An Ethnography of Deviant Entrepreneurship

This book presents an ethnographic study of contemporary ticket touts in the UK. Despite the recent interest in the topic of black-market ticket sales media coverage and parliamentary interventions over the last ten years have revealed a widespread lack of knowledge with regard to the phenomenon of touting and the players engaging in the practice. The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting sheds light on the world of touting and delivers an authentic picture of the individuals involved of their methods values and motivations for performing ticket touting as an organised entrepreneurial deviant activity. The touts’ varied methods of buying and selling tickets the hierarchical structures and strict ethos of their criminal organisations and their specific modi operandi for evading detection and arrest both on the streets and online are focal points of the study. Of equal importance are the touts’ attitudes perceptions and adaptations to (or outright dismissal of) society’s legal and moral frameworks. This book illuminates why historic and renewed attempts to challenge ticket touting have been unsuccessful focusing on inadequate legislation a lack of enforcement and the widespread corruption and exploitable loopholes that exist within the official primary ticket market. An accessible and compelling read The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology social policy policing and all those with an interest in live music and sport and the hidden practices that lurk beneath the surface. | The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting An Ethnography of Deviant Entrepreneurship

The Rise of Academic Architectural Education The origins and enduring influence of the Académie d’Architecture

The Rise of Academic Architectural Education The origins and enduring influence of the Académie d’Architecture

Academic architectural education started with the inauguration of the Académie d'Architecture on 3 December 1671 in France. It was the first institution to be devoted solely to the study of architecture and its school was the first dedicated to the explicit training of architectural students. The Académie was abolished in 1793 during the revolutionary turmoil that besieged France at the end of the eighteenth century although the architectural educational tradition that arose from it was resurrected with the formation of the École des Beaux-Arts and prevails in the ideologies and activities of schools of architecture throughout the world today. This book traces the previously neglected history of the Académie’s development and its enduring influence on subsequent architectural schools throughout the following centuries to the present day. Providing a valuable context for current discussions in architectural education The Rise of Academic Architectural Education is a useful resource for students and researchers interested in the history and theory of art and architecture. | The Rise of Academic Architectural Education The origins and enduring influence of the Académie d’Architecture

Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

The Life of Wesley was one of Southey’s most influential and bestselling works. It was the first biography of John Wesley – the major figure in the largest religious movement of the eighteenth century – to be published by anyone beyond the Methodist community. In addition it was a major history of the rise of a phenomenon that Southey and many others saw as a defining sign of contemporary history – the rise of sectarianism and of religious cults. This two-volume edition will represent the full text of the 1820 edition. It will include a comprehensive critical apparatus that will make sense of the major issues posed by the text and how it contributes to studies of both Southey and Romanticism. The edition will feature a critical and contextual introduction which will set out the origins and composition of the text together with its publication history as well as offer a carefully considered view of the interplay between the Life and other biographies of Wesley and accounts of Methodism bringing into view the wide array of sources and influences Southey drew from. It will also examine the book’s reception history incorporating material from reviews of the period and detailing the controversy it caused in the Methodist community. | Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

The Rise of Autism Risk and Resistance in the Age of Diagnosis

The Rise of Autism Risk and Resistance in the Age of Diagnosis

The Open Access version of this book available at http://www. taylorfrancis. com/books/e/9780429285912 has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4. 0 license. This innovative book addresses the question of why increasing numbers of people are being diagnosed with autism since the 1990s. Providing an engaging account of competing and widely debated explanations it investigates how these have led to differing interpretations of the same data. Crucially the author argues that the increased use of autism diagnosis is due to medicalisation across the life course whilst holding open the possibility that the rise may also be partly accounted for by modern-day environmental exposures again across the life course. A further focus of the book is not on whether autism itself is valid as a diagnostic category but whether and how it is useful as a diagnostic category and how the utility of the diagnosis has contributed to the rise. This serves to move beyond the question of whether diagnoses are 'real' or social constructions and instead asks: who do diagnoses serve to benefit and at what cost do they come? The book will appeal to clinicians and health professionals as well as medical researchers who are interested in a review of the data which demonstrates the rising use of autism as a diagnosis and an analysis of the reasons why this has occurred. Providing theory through which to interpret the expanding application of the diagnosis and the broadening of autism as a concept it will also be of interest to scholars and students of sociology philosophy psychiatry psychology social work disability studies and childhood studies. | The Rise of Autism Risk and Resistance in the Age of Diagnosis
