Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Studies have demonstrated that choices in the use of language
convey information that goes beyond the content of the words
themselves. In many cases, how something is said matters as much as
what is said. Using techniques collectively referred to as
linguistic content analysis, researchers have studied topics
ranging from how to identify if individuals are lying, to whether
there are particular characteristics associated with leaders who
take their nations to war. This book presents findings from a
research effort funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security's Science and Technology Directorate, which examined
whether linguistic content analysis can indicate whether groups
will engage in terrorist violence. Specifically, this project
brought together several researchers who have developed manual and
automated coding systems to analyse documents issued by Central al
Qa'ida and al Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula, and two
non-terrorist comparison groups. The intention has been to test
whether linguistic content analysis can first, distinguish the
language of terrorist groups from that of non-terrorist groups and
second, provide indicators of specific terrorist attacks. This book
was originally published as a Special Issue of Dynamics of
Asymmetric Conflict.

Germany's first democracy, the Weimar Republic, affected every
aspect of life, particularly for women, who were granted such
rights as the right to vote and equal pay for equal work. These
rapid advancements combined with a strong economy and an increasing
interest in popular culture, such as movies and sports, made
possible the media creation of the New Woman. This book discusses
four major works of the period--two dramas by Ernst Toller and two
novels by Irmgard Keun--in terms of their portrayal of gender, both
of traditional masculinity and femininity and of newer attitudes
brought out in the period of the Neue Sachlichkeit. The analysis
will explore what made the New Woman "new" and the reasons why she
was never a reality for most German women. This book should be
useful to those interested in German history, literature, and
women's studies.
Contemporary artist Allison Smith's diverse creative practice
critically engages with popular forms of historical reenactment
through a variety of media, including sculpture, textiles,
ceramics, and photography. Focusing on the handmade and
performative aspects of history and material culture, Smith
re-stages, refigures, and replays the role of traditional crafts in
large-scale installations that reconsider the construction of
collective memory and identity. For the core of Allison Smith:
Needle Work, the artist created contemporary revisions of European
and American gas masks from World War I and World War II. Smith
used art supplies found at local fabric and craft retail stores to
explore a range of masklike forms - from the ghoulish to the
foolish - thereby questioning essential notions of camouflage and
masquerade. This exhibition catalog, illustrated throughout in
color, includes an essay that considers Smith's project in light of
Peter Sloterdijk's "Terror from the Air", as well as in-depth
interviews with the artist and the curator.
