Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the Morris D. Forkasch prize for the best book in British history 2002Civilising Subjects argues that the empire was at the heart of nineteenth-century Englishness. English men and women in the mid-nineteenth century imagined themselves at the centre of a great empire: their mental and emotional maps encompassed Aborigines in Australia, negroes in Jamaica, coolies in the Indies. This sense of the other provided boundaries and markers of difference: ways of knowing who was civilised and who was savage .This fascinating book tells intertwined stories of a particular group of Englishmen and women who constructed themselves as colonisers. Hall then uses these studies as a means of exploring wider colonial and cultural issues. One story focuses on the Baptist missionaries in Jamaica and their efforts to build a new society in the wake of emancipation. Their hope was to make Afro-Jamaican men and women into people like themselves. Disillusionment followed as it emerged that the making of new selves was not as simple as they had thought, and that black men and women had minds and cultural resources of their own. The second story tells the tale of the midland metropolis , Birmingham, and the ways in which its culture was infused with empire. Abolitionist enthusiasm dominated the town in the 1830s but by the 1860s the identity of friend of the negro had been superseded by a harsher racial vocabulary. Birmingham s manly citizens imagined the non-white subjects of empire as different kinds of men from themselves.These two detailed studies, of Birmingham and Jamaica, are set within their wider context: the making of metropole and colony and of coloniser and colonised. The result is an absorbing study of the racing of Englishness, which will be invaluable for students and scholars of British imperial and cultural history.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A practical new approach that brings together circuit theory and field theory for the practicing engineerTo put it frankly, the traditional education of most engineers and scientists leaves them often unprepared to handle many of the practical problems they encounter. The Fields of Electronics: Understanding Electronics Using Basic Physics offers a highly original correction to this state of affairs.Most engineers learn circuit theory and field theory separately. Electromagnetic field theory is an important part of basic physics, but because it is a very mathematical subject, the connection to everyday problems is not emphasized. Circuit theory, on the other hand, is by its nature very practical. However, circuit theory cannot describe the nature of a facility, the interconnection of many pieces of hardware, or the power grid that interfaces each piece of hardware.The Fields of Electronics offers a unique approach that brings the physics and the circuit theory together into a seamless whole for today's practicing engineers. With a clear focus on the real-world problems confronting the practitioner in the field, the book thoroughly details the principles that apply to:\* Capacitors, inductors, resistors, and transformers\* Utility power and circuit concepts\* Grounding and shielding\* Radiation\* Analog and digital signals\* Facilities and sitesWritten with very little mathematics, and requiring only some background in electronics, this book provides an eminently useful new way to understand the subject of electronics that will simplify the work of every novice, experienced engineer, and scientist. …
