Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Scientific Study from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, , language: English, abstract: This paper sheds light on the appropriation of the concept of time in the imperialist discourse of Joseph Conrad and Rudyard Kipling. Following a Saidian pe…rspective, it shows that the writings of Joseph Conrad and Rudyard Kipling appropriate time as an ideological tool so as to provide primary support for the British Empire. They do this by the dichotomy they draw between the primitive time of the non-Western people and the evolutionary time of the Westerners. Both writers show that the non-Westerners, in view of their primitivism and the advancement of the Westerners, need the intervention of the latter so as to promote their progress. They make some polyphonic appeal to other disciplines so as to achieve this purpose. Consequently, they, for instance, weave their texts with the teachings of anthropology, biology and history, hence the importance they grant to the concept of time as it is viewed in evolutionary thought of the nineteenth century.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: Distinction, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, course: Aviation Regulation, Environment and Operation , language: English, abstract: Starting in the USA where deregulation of air transportatio…n began in the late seventies, this trend was observable throughout Europe in the eighties and Australia at the beginning of the nineties. The major arguments for liberalisation were in general a reduction of capacity constraints and a simplified market access (Himpel & Lipp 2006, p.26). Constitutional for these ideas is the theory of contestable markets which assumes the efficiency of competition with a free market entry and market exit. Therefore deregulation processes aim at providing a better, safer and more efficient industry. However, Geoffrey Thomas (2008) among others points out that in reality the liberalisation of air transportation has caused predominantly negative outcomes which is why there should be a return to some degree of regulation. Based on Thomas' train of thoughts, this research paper is aimed at critically evaluating the effects of liberalisation both on the aviation industry and on the consumer. The paper is therefore structured as follows: after revealing the limitations of the evaluation, positive effects of liberalisation in Europe, the United States and Australia are outlined which are then opposed to negative effects. Based on these findings, a conclusion is finally drawn.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fern Fever (or Pteridomania, to give it its official name), was popular in Britain between 1837 and 1914. Although in previous centuries ferns played an important role in customs and folklore, it was only in this period that they were coveted for aesthetic reasons. The fern craze started to g…ather momentum in the 1840s; books and magazines maintained that fern growing was a hobby that anyone could enjoy, as ferns would grow in the glazed fernery, garden, shady yard, window box or even indoors in Wardian Cases. The mania also spread from the living plant to depicting it in architecture and the decorative arts. Even roads, villas and terraced houses were named after the fern. This book, which is the first to deal exclusively with the subject for nearly forty years, looks at the how the craze developed, the ways in which ferns were incorporated into garden and home, and the spread of the fern through Victorian material and visual culture.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Best remembered in the UK as a poet, Walter de la Mare produced this novel in 1921, and it received the plaudit of being the first winner of the James Tait Memorial Prize A book that deserves to be in print, and one that will attract a modern readership Quotes from Angela Carter, Alison Lurie… and Rebecca West testify to novel's quality. 'The novel is a haunting, elegiac, misanthropic, occasionally perverse study of estrangement and isolation.' It is an unusual story, and written about a time when a young, unmarried woman was an outcast from society, dependent in one way or another on the whims of others. It also clearly, though not explicitly, tells of the love of one woman for another. Written in the early 1920's it is set in late Victorian England. It is a big book for a small subject. The whole of 'The Memoirs of a Midget' may be a fantasy, but it deals in painful realities. Not such a small subject after all.--Margaret Reynolds The Times (London) January 2009.
