Radical a (29 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Most knowledge workers experience high levels of stress, disempowerment, and alienation from their work and their coworkers. The picture of the overworked, stressed-out technology worker may be common, but it is far from inevitable. Technology thought-leader Matt K. Parker reveals the path to a new way of working. The radically collaborative framework creates a workplace environment of learning, caring, and safe-making, which leads organizations to out-innovate, out-recruit, and out-retain their competition. In the radically collaborative workplace, the organizational pyramid is inverted: Makers don't exist to support leaders. Leaders exist to support makers. This organizational inversion creates radical new structures for teams, leadership, and the organization as a whole. There are no loner programmers toiling away under fluorescent lights. Instead, fully autonomous, 100% customer-oriented teams come together to create a radically powerful, innovative, and caring organization with the power and drive to usher in a successful future.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Schizoanalytic Cartographies represents Félix Guattari's most important later work and the most systematic and detailed account of his theoretical position and his therapeutic ideas. Guattari sets out to provide a complete account of the conditions of 'enunciation' - autonomous speech and self-expression - for subjects in the contemporary world. Over the course of eight closely argued chapters, he presents a breathtakingly new reformulation of the structures of individual and collective subjectivity. Based on research into information theory and new technologies, Guattari articulates a vision of a humanity finally reconciled with its relationship to machines. Schizoanalytic Cartographies is a visionary yet highly concrete work, providing a powerful vantage point on the upheavals of our present epoch, powerfully imagining a future 'post-media' era of technological development. This long overdue translation of this substantial work offers English-speaking readers the opportunity finally to fully assess Guattari's contribution to European thought. …

The second moved by Mr Donald Proudford to make it imperative that the weight should be by imperial ton. The representatives of the miners in the House supported both, and Mr. Herman Hodge voted against both.' He gives a reference to the 'Division List', and ends by stating that his name need not be mentioned 'in connection with this'.…

There is a small piece out of the top left corner of the photograph & its top right corner is slightly creased. Good.Together with JOHN BRIGHT'S AUTOGRAPH penned on a 1-3/8 inch high by 3 inch wide slip of paper mounted onto a very slightly larger sheet of stiff paper. Very good. John Bright's autograph together with a full-length portrait of Bright, seated, cross-legged, and wearing a dark suit and waistcoat with a black silk band around his neck.John Bright [1811-1889] was a British Radical and Liberal statesman, one of the greatest orators of his generation and a promoter of free trade policies. He is famous for battling the Corn Laws and for promoting close interdependence between Britain and France. He served as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from September 30, 1873 to February 17, 1874, and as President of the Board of Trade from December 9, 1868 to January 14,1871.…

First Edition. Handbill, 8-1/2" x 7" (ca 22cm x 18cm). Printed from typescript, one-side only on white paper. Mild evidence of use; Near Fine. Presumably self-published handbill by an anonymous "Nashville Woman," arguing for the innocence of segregationist gadfly John Kasper (who served an eight month sentence for conspiracy in 1957) and suggesting that space ships full of "little green men" [i.e. communists] were taking over city halls, police departments and state houses throughout the South, bringing with them an alien ideology of racial integration. "Yes, friends, 'beware', for the little green men have landed and we can most assuredly point them out. All white citizens must join hands in this mighty crusade for freedom." An illustrative relic of the tiny intersection of Sputnik fever and white supremacy; undated but given the repeated references to Kasper and to "satellite news," 1957 seems a safe bet.…

Zustand: Very good. 1839., 1839. Very good. - A 3 inch high by 4-3/4 inch wide cover from a letter addressed to Princess Mary "Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Gloucester". Most likely addressed in Charles Pelham Villiers' hand, the edges are framed in black ink. The British politician's Free Frank is stamped in red at top right. He has signed "Villiers" lower left and his wax seal, embossed with his crest, has been clipped and mounted at the bottom. The letter's cover is mounted onto 3-7/8 inch high by 5-3/8 inch wide paper clipped from an album with another autograph mounted on the verso. Very good. The British lawyer and politician Charles Pelham Villiers (1802-1898) hailed from the aristocratic Villiers family. Villiers was the longest serving Member of Parliament, serving in the House of Commons for 63 years from 1835 to 1898. A radical and reformer who collaborated with John Bright, Villiers played a role in the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. He was appointed to the cabinet as president of the Poor-Law Board by Lord Palmerston. With Florence Nightingale's help, Villiers passed reforms such as the Metropolitan Poor Act of 1867 which ensured professionalism in nursing and erected public infirmaries. Queen Victoria's aunt, Princess Mary, Duchess of Gloucester and Edinburgh (1776-1857) was the fourth daughter of King George III. Mary married her first cousin Prince William Frederick, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh when they were both 40 years old though she went on to outlive him. She saw her niece, Queen Victoria, ascend to the throne and was the longest living of George III's children.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ('Mehemet Ali'). The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet 'which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute [.] attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour, sailing via Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean, as far as Constantinople, meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt, before returning via Greece in April 1837.' The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p, foolscap 8vo. The page is headed '20' and carries ten lines of text, one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged, worn and creased. On reverse, in pencil, in a contemporary hand: 'Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey'. The text reads (with deleted passage in square brackets): 'Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man, [- the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed -] and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects, - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene, not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali'. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person, with reverse blank. In fair condition, lightly aged. Reads: 'Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis, & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury, a memorial'. THREE: Printed form response with thick black border. 1p, 32mo. In fair condition, on discoloured paper. Reads (with manuscript text in square brackets): '[Mr & Mrs Cobden] return thanks for the favor of [Mr Smiths] kind enquiries. / [Midhurst 20 June 1856]'. (The word 'return' has been altered from 'returns'.).…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. All three letters 1p, 8vo. The third letter in good condition, lightly aged; the first two in fair condition, on creased and chipping cartridge paper, with a few spots of rust from a paperclip. All three folded for postage. All three signed 'Laurence Housman'. ONE (3 November 1936): Begins: 'Dear Mr. Sayers, / I am rather perturbed to find that the meeting I am asked to speak at is the Annual of the League of Nations Union. The request for me to speak came from the Peace Pledge Union, and no indication was given that it was not a Peace Pledge meeting. / I take the position of an absolute pacifist, and I am not in agreement with a good deal of the League of Nation's policy, nor am I any longer an accredited speaker.' If he does speak to the Monmouth Town LNU, 'I must speak as a full pacifist; on those terms I am quite willing to come, and you can explain the position to your meeting'. The letter has an autograph postscript: 'P.S. "The Price of Peace" could be my title. I have no photo-block for publication.' TWO (5 November 1936): '[A]s you are prepared to put up with what I shall say on Peace, I am willing to keep the engagement'. He proceeds to discuss transport arrangements, and ends by asking Sayers to 'thank Miss MacDonald for her kind offer of hospitality'. THREE (22 February 1937): He is glad that his book 'The Unexpected Years' has given Sayers pleasure. 'In spite of the many knocks I received in the course of them, I also managed to get pleasure out of them, and hope to continue to do so.'.…

Zustand: Fine. [London], July 8, 1885., 1885. Fine. - Over 40 words penned on two sides of 6 inch high by 4 inch wide "40, Prince's Gardens, S.W." stationery with attached leaf. Writing to a "Mr. Phelps", the British statesman Joseph Chamberlain regrets that he can't meet M Sarget "but unfortunately I am pledged to M Holl the artist at 10:30 tomorrow & must not upset his arrangements." Signed "J. Chamberlain". Folded for mailing, else fine. The father of the Nobel Peace Prize Winner Austen Chamberlain and of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, the British statesman Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914) was first a radical Liberal then, opposing Irish home rule, a Liberal Unionist and then a leading imperialist in coalition with the Conservatives. A common manufacturer of screws, he rose to being the Mayor of Birmingham. As a radical Liberal, he opposed the Elementary Education Act of 1870 as it could subsidize the Church of England's schools through taxes. Contemptuous of the aristocracy, he entered the House of Commons at the age of 39 and rose to power though his influence with the Liberal grassroots. He was noted for his attacks on the Conservative leader Lord Salisbury. Opposing Irish Home Rule, he helped engineer a Liberal Party split and settled in as a Liberal Unionist, which then formed a coalition with the Conservative Party. The artist Frank Holl (1845-1888) was a painter of official-type portraits.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Under Gladstone Burt served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, 1892-1895. From the papers of Arthur George Liddon Rogers (1864-1944), son of the editor of the economist Thorold Rogers, and written while Rogers was Secretary of the Liberal Publication Department (a sort of public relations department), a position to which he was appointed in November 1891. The four items, all addressed to 'Dear Mr Rogers' and signed 'Thos Burt', are all bifoliums in good condition, folded for postage. ONE (2 June 1892): 2pp, 12mo. With regard to an LPD publication, he regrets that he 'cannot do the leaflet'. Not only does he have 'more work on hand than I can get through, my having a member of the Royal Com[mission] inquiring into the subject hampers me'. He does not think he could 'with propriety write publicly on the subject at a time when I am engaged with others in preparing the Report'. TWO (2 February 1893): 4pp, 12mo. A 'rush of correspondence' has left him without a 'spare minute'. He is enclosing a letter from one of his constituents, 'in the hope that you may be able to forward him some leaflets bearing upon the points he mentions'. Burt's own paper 'on the Mines Reg Act (that I wrote for you) might be useful, and I have no doubt you have something on Free Education, and the other questions referred to'. He asks if there is 'a cheap edition of Mr John Nohle's book'. He ends with reference to the return of a book and the settling of an account. THREE (11 February 1893). 2pp, 12mo. In thanking him for his 'kind letter, & for yr prompt attention to my request', he is returning a cheque. FOUR (11 October 1893). 4pp, 12mo. In a secretarial hand, with Burt's autograph signature. He is 'away from the Board of Trade until Parliament re-assembles', and is consequently 'not in a position myself to verify all the facts contained in the enclosed pamphlet'. He believes 'the facts given are strictly accurate except under the heading Seaman's Wages'. As 'chairman of the departmental Comttee that enquired into the subject', he makes suggestions towards the way 'the beginning of that paragraph should, I think, be somewhat modified'. He knows 'that steps are now being taken to extend the system to foreign posts. If the leaflet is not issued before I return to the B of T, I will make further enquiry, should you so desire, with a view to ensure absolute correctness.'.…

Later in life Auden would disown his Spanish Civil War propaganda, calling it "trash" he was "sorry to have written." At the time of its publication however this long poem, a rousing call to arms on behalf of the joined anti-fascist forces, had an impact on the European and American liberal intelligentsia.

Three pages (plus address page), bifolium, aged with remnants of the page it was tipped on, text clear as follows: "Seeing by the Standard [newspaper] of tonight that measures are taking for filling up the vacancy in the representation of Huddersfield, I cannot resist the desire I fell to point out to the liberal interest of that town, how essentially their cause in general, and that of Free Trade in particular, would be served by the election of Dr. Bowring [John Bowring (see Note below) as Free Trader etc]. It is unnecessary fo me to dwell on the services he has been rendering on the Continent, nor on the degree in which his election by an important constituency would confirm and strengthen the Ministry in the course they are at heart desirous to pursue. I may add, that in point of personal talents, no man is more capable of [meeting?] the ablest competitor the opposite side can start against him. | As a native of Yorkshire (Hull) I believe I am known to some in the county; and have also perhaps some claim on the confidence of the manufacturing interest as the author of the Catechism on the Corn Laws [subscription then Postscript] I write without communication with Dr Bowring who is at present at Larkbear Exeter [his home]."

Braislin, with author's own photographically illustrated bookplate on front pastedown. Popular history of the laboring class, here personified in the figure of "Dennis Hathnaught."

The "history" begins with "Dennis Hathnaught's Lowly Origin; His Biological Ancestry; Primitive Man; Ancient Contempt for Labour, Effects of Evolution and Suggestion of Human Progress," and proceeds through the various eras of English-speaking Hathnaughts, starting with the Saxons, and progressing through the Middle Ages, 16th and 17th century England, and the Industrial Revolution. Interspersed with chapters on "Fritz Hathnaught," "Jacques Bonhomme," and the "Slavic Hathnaughts, Ivan and Michael.". Signed. …

Paris, Chez Crochard, 1815 Contemp. hcalf. Spine gilt. Top of spine with wear. A few scratches to binding. In: "Annales de Chimie, ou Recueil de Mémoires concernant la Chemie" Tome 95. - 336 pp. (the entire volume offered). Gay-Lussac's paper: pp. 136-231. Some scattered brownspots throughout. First appearance of this milestone paper in organic chemistry, in which Gay-Lussac describes the preparation, the chemical reactions, and the determination of the physical properties of prussic acid."One of the most importent contributions of Gay-Lussac was his work on hydro-cyanid acid and its compounds. In the course of his investigations on the combining volumes of gases he had prepared gaseous hydrogen cyanide. This led him to the study of related compounds, and in 1815 he published a paper, "Recherches sur l'acide prussique" (the paper offered), wherein he announced the discovery of cyanogen and chlor-cyanogen and the composition of hydrocyanic acid. His demonstartion that hydrogen cyanide contains no oxygen added another oxygen-free acid to those already known (hydrogen halides and sulfide) and contributed to the overthrow of Lavoisier's oxygen theory of acids. Gay-Lussac found that the cyano radical,the first orgianic radical clearly recognized, could act as an element analogous to chlorine, passing unchanged through various reactions. This concept of an organic radical was importent to organic chemistry."(Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book of Chemistry", p. 293). - Partington IV, p.85 a. p. 253. - Roy G.
