This bibliography of Hemingway's writings and related materials
includes, for the first time, all of his books, pamphlets, stories,
articles, newspaper contributions, juvenilia, library holdings of
his letters and manuscripts, items written about Hemingway between
1918 and 1965, and short excerpts from reviews of each of
Hemingway's novels. It is the first bibliography of Hemingway
published since 1931, and includes much material never before
assembled: thirty-eight contributions to his high school newspaper,
Trapeze, twenty-eight Spanish Civil War dispatches, and first
editions published in some thirty foreign languages. First editions
of books and pamphlets, both American and English with
bibliographic descriptions, are given. Originally published in
1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
Since the shocking news first broke in 1876 of the Seventh
Cavalry's disastrous defeat at the Little Big Horn, fascination
with the battle--and with Lieutenant George Armstrong Custer--has
never ceased. Widespread interest in the subject has spawned a vast
outpouring of literature, which only increases with time. This
two-volume bibliography of Custer literature is the first to be
published in some twenty-five years and the most complete ever
assembled.
Drawing on years of research, Michael O'Keefe has compiled entries
for roughly 3,000 books and 7,000 articles and pamphlets. Covering
both nonfiction and fiction (but not juvenile literature), the
bibliography focuses on events beginning with Custer's tenure at
West Point during the 1850s and ending with the massacre at Wounded
Knee in 1890. Included within this span are Custer's experiences in
the Civil War and in Texas, the 1873 Yellowstone and 1874 Black
Hills expeditions, the Great Sioux War of 1876-77, and the Seventh
Cavalry's pursuit of the Nez Perces in 1877.
The literature on Custer, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and
the Seventh Cavalry touches the entire American saga of
exploration, conflict, and settlement in the West, including
virtually all Plains Indian tribes, the frontier army, railroading,
mining, and trading. Hence this bibliography will be a valuable
resource for a broad audience of historians, librarians,
collectors, and Custer enthusiasts.

Vom 12. bis zum 20. Jh. galt das Deutsche in den boehmischen
Landern als die wichtigste 'moderne' Fremdsprache und war neben dem
Lateinischen das bedeutendste Medium fur den Wissens- und
Technologietransfer. Entsprechend umfangreich ist die
UEberlieferung an Lehrbuchern, Lerngrammatiken und Vokabularen, die
schon vom 15. Jh. an bis zur Grundung der ersten
tschechoslowakischen Republik 1918 zum Zweck des Erwerbs der
deutschen Sprache verfasst wurden. In der vorliegenden
Bibliographie zur Geschichte des Deutschlernens in Boehmen und
Mahren wird diese UEberlieferung erstmals umfassend dokumentiert
und so ein wichtiger Aspekt der gemeinsamen Geschichte von
Tschechen und Deutschen systematisch beleuchtet. Der Band kann
damit nicht nur als ein wesentlicher Beitrag zur Fachgeschichte des
Deutschen als Fremdsprache (DaF), zur Analyse von
Spracherwerbsprozessen und zur Entwicklung von didaktischen
Konzepten gelten, sondern legt zugleich den Grundstein fur weitere
Forschungen uber die Geschichte der deutsch-tschechischen
Beziehungen.
Im Zuge der fortschreitenden Globalisierung der Wirtschaft
kooperieren Wirtschaftsakteure immer haufiger mit Partnern in
anderen Teilen der Welt, die anderen kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen
verpflichtet sind. Dabei treten oft Handlungs- und Normkonflikte
auf. Das vorliegende Buch behandelt diese transkulturellen
Wertekonflikte aus unterschiedlichen philosophischen und
wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven: Grundsatzfragen der
Transkulturalitat, wie die Gefahr des Verlusts des Fremden werden
ebenso behandelt wie der moegliche Umgang mit transkulturellen
Wertekonflikten oder die Frage nach einer oekonomischen Moral. Ein
besonderer Schwerpunkt wird auf den Aspekt des Kulturwandels und
des Kulturrelativismus gelegt. Konkrete Beispiele und empirische
Studienergebnisse, etwa zu den deutsch-russischen
Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, der Wirtschaft in Sudkorea oder den
Wertedifferenzen in einem multinationalen Unternehmen machen die
Beitrage auch fur die wirtschaftsethische Praxis relevant.
Designed to complement the Mental Measurements Yearbooks, Tests in
Print fills a pressing need for a comprehensive bibliography of
commercially available English language tests. Although these
volumes are useful in and of themselves, their maximum usefulness
requires the availability and use of the Mental Measurements
Yearbooks. Information on available tests and specific test
bibliographies are valuable, but the greatest service Tests in
Print can perform is to encourage test users to choose tests more
wisely by consulting Mental Measurements Yearbooks test reviews;
test reviews from journals; and professional literature on the
construction, use, and psychometric properties of tests under
consideration. Tests in Print X contains descriptive information on
approximately 2,300 testing instruments. Detailed descriptions of
each test include data on test purpose, target population, scores,
administration time, publication date(s), author(s), and pricing.
Indexes of test titles, publishers, acronyms, and subject
classifications are provided as well as notations on hundreds of
out-of-print tests. Tests in Print X provides specific information
about testing required by professionals in diverse areas such as
education, psychology, counseling, management, career planning,
child development, and research. It also serves as a comprehensive
index to the Mental Measurements Yearbook series by directing
readers to the appropriate volume for reviews of specific tests.
This annotated, two volume reference work deals with the writings
of an author of international importance and their translations
into about thirty languages, as well as secondary literature from
all over the world. It was conceived as both a traditional
bibliography and as an introductory commentary, not only listing
titles but also providing access to the material for
English-speaking readers, students, scholars and friends of Kafka
alike. This bibliography provides critical comments on many
entries, whilst the subject, name, and work indexes give easy
access to the material. This enlarged and revised second edition is
almost twice the size of the first editions, which appeared
separately in 1982 and 1987, and contains addenda up to 1997, as a
testimony of the undiminished interest in this author's works. In
addition, it has been extended with special German and English
indexes and an extensive appendix with book commentaries in
English.
