A compelling history of the national conflicts that resulted from
efforts to produce the first definitive American dictionary of
English The Dictionary Wars recounts the patriotic fervor in the
early American republic to produce a definitive national dictionary
that would rival Samuel Johnson's 1755 Dictionary of the English
Language. But what began as a cultural war of independence from
Britain devolved into a battle among lexicographers, authors,
scholars, and publishers, all vying for dictionary supremacy and
shattering forever the dream of a unified American language. Peter
Martin tells of the intense rivalry between America's first
lexicographers, Noah Webster and Joseph Emerson Worcester, and how
their conflict continued beyond Webster's death, when the ambitious
Merriam brothers acquired publishing rights to Webster's American
Dictionary. The dictionary wars also engaged America's colleges,
libraries, newspapers, religious groups, and state legislatures at
a pivotal historical moment that coincided with rising literacy and
the print revolution. Delving into personal stories and national
debates, The Dictionary Wars examines the linguistic struggles that
underpinned the founding and growth of a nation.

The untold story of China's rise as a global superpower, chronicled
through the diplomatic shock troops that connect Beijing to the
world. China's Civilian Army charts China's transformation from an
isolated and impoverished communist state to a global superpower
from the perspective of those on the front line: China's diplomats.
They give a rare perspective on the greatest geopolitical drama of
the last half century. In the early days of the People's Republic,
diplomats were highly-disciplined, committed communists who feared
revealing any weakness to the threatening capitalist world.
Remarkably, the model that revolutionary leader Zhou Enlai
established continues to this day despite the massive changes the
country has undergone in recent decades. Little is known or
understood about the inner workings of the Chinese government as
the country bursts onto the world stage, as the world's second
largest economy and an emerging military superpower. China's
Diplomats embody its battle between insecurity and self-confidence,
internally and externally. To this day, Chinese diplomats work in
pairs so that one can always watch the other for signs of
ideological impurity. They're often dubbed China's "wolf warriors"
for their combative approach to asserting Chinese interests.
Drawing for the first time on the memoirs of more than a hundred
retired diplomats as well as author Peter Martin's first-hand
reporting as a journalist in Beijing, this groundbreaking book
blends history with current events to tease out enduring lessons
about the kind of power China is set to become. It is required
reading for anyone who wants to understand China's quest for global
power, as seen from the inside.

In correspondence and conversation, James Joyce kept himself aloof
from his age, and denigrated recent art and thought at almost every
opportunity. 'In the last two hundred years, ' he declared, 'we
haven't had a great thinker.' This book reveals that in spite of
his protestations Joyce was profoundly influenced by one of the
major figures of nineteenth-century culture, the composer Richard
Wagner. Timothy Martin documents Joyce's exposure to Wagner's
operas, and defines a pervasive Wagnerian presence in his work,
identifying scores of allusions. Wagner emerges as an important
source in the development of literary modernism, and - alongside
Flaubert and Ibsen - as one of Joyce's most important influences
from the previous century. The revisionary impact of this empirical
study in cultural history was to present Joyce as far more a child
of the nineteenth century than he wished to acknowledge, much more
than Joyce's students historically recognised

A compelling history of the national conflicts that resulted from
efforts to produce the first definitive American dictionary of
English In The Dictionary Wars, Peter Martin recounts the patriotic
fervor in the early American republic to produce a definitive
national dictionary that would rival Samuel Johnson's 1755
Dictionary of the English Language. But what began as a cultural
war of independence from Britain devolved into a battle among
lexicographers, authors, scholars, and publishers, all vying for
dictionary supremacy and shattering forever the dream of a unified
American language. The overwhelming questions in the dictionary
wars involved which and whose English was truly American and
whether a dictionary of English should attempt to be American at
all, independent from Britain. Martin tells the human story of the
intense rivalry between America's first lexicographers, Noah
Webster and Joseph Emerson Worcester, who fought over who could
best represent the soul and identity of American culture. Webster
believed an American dictionary, like the American language, ought
to be informed by the nation's republican principles, but Worcester
thought that such language reforms were reckless and went too far.
Their conflict continued beyond Webster's death, when the ambitious
Merriam brothers acquired publishing rights to Webster's American
Dictionary and launched their own language wars. From the beginning
of the nineteenth century to the end of the Civil War, the
dictionary wars also engaged America's colleges, libraries,
newspapers, religious groups, and state legislatures at a pivotal
historical moment that coincided with rising literacy and the print
revolution. Delving into the personal stories and national debates
that arose from the conflicts surrounding America's first
dictionaries, The Dictionary Wars examines the linguistic struggles
that underpinned the founding and growth of a nation.
Plastics Engineering, Fourth Edition, presents basic essentials on
the properties and processing behaviour of plastics and composites.
The book gives engineers and technologists a sound understanding of
basic principles without the introduction of unduly complex levels
of mathematics or chemistry. Early chapters discuss the types of
plastics currently available and describe how designers select a
plastic for a particular application. Later chapters guide the
reader through the mechanical behaviour of materials, along with a
detailed analysis of their major processing techniques and
principles. All techniques are illustrated with numerous worked
examples within each chapter, with further problems provided at the
end. This updated edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect
major changes in plastic materials and their processing techniques
that have occurred since the previous edition. The plastics and
processing techniques addressed within the book have been
comprehensively updated to reflect current materials and
technologies, with new worked examples and problems also included.

2.5 Lizenz. Wie leben und erleben Jugendliche ihren Alltag? Wie
nehmen sie die historischen und heutigen Verhaltnisse in
Deutschland und in der Welt wahr? Was stiftet fur sie Sinn? Welche
Lebensentwurfe verfolgen sie? Welche Rolle spielen Mobilitat,
Nachhaltigkeit und digitale Medien in ihrem Leben? Diesen und
weiteren Fragen geht die SINUS-Jugendstudie 2016 empirisch nach und
bildet dabei die Vielfalt der Perspektiven jugendlicher
Lebenswelten ab. Das gelingt ihr besonders anschaulich, indem sie
14- bis 17-Jahrige in Form von zahlreichen Zitaten und kreativen
Selbstzeugnissen ungefiltert zu Wort kommen lasst. Einzigartig ist
auch, dass Jugendliche fotografische Einblicke in ihre Wohnwelten
gewahren und erstmalig selbst als Interviewer ihre Fragen
eingebracht haben. Die SINUS-Jugendstudie verleiht der jungen
Generation somit eine oeffentliche Stimme, die es genau
wahrzunehmen gilt. Denn der Blick auf die Jugend ist immer auch ein
Blick auf die Zukunft eines Landes. Nach den Vorgangerstudien
(2008, 2012) legt das SINUS-Institut bereits die dritte
Untersuchung der viel beachteten Reihe "Wie ticken Jugendliche?"
vor.
