At Home in Nineteenth-Century America - A Documentary History (Paperback): Amy G. Richter At Home in Nineteenth-Century America - A Documentary History (Paperback)

R744 Discovery Miles 7 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Few institutions were as central to nineteenth-century American culture as the home. Emerging in the 1820s as a sentimental space apart from the public world of commerce and politics, the Victorian home transcended its initial association with the private lives of the white, native-born bourgeoisie to cross lines of race, ethnicity, class, and region. Throughout the nineteenth century, home was celebrated as a moral force, domesticity moved freely into the worlds of politics and reform, and home and marketplace repeatedly remade each other. At Home in Nineteenth-Century America draws upon advice manuals, architectural designs, personal accounts, popular fiction, advertising images, and reform literature to revisit the variety of places Americans called home. Entering into middle-class suburban houses, slave cabins, working-class tenements, frontier dugouts, urban settlement houses, it explores the shifting interpretations and experiences of these spaces from within and without. Nineteenth-century homes and notions of domesticity seem simultaneously distant and familiar. This sense of surprise and recognition is ideal for the study of history, preparing us to view the past with curiosity and empathy, inspiring comparisons to the spaces we inhabit today-malls, movie theaters, city streets, and college campuses. Permitting us to listen closely to the nineteenth century's sweeping conversation about home in its various guises, At Home in Nineteenth-Century America encourages us to hear our contemporary conversation about the significance and meaning of home anew while appreciating the lingering imprint of past ideals.

This book is a translation, by Mr. S. Dunlop, FRAS, of the second German edition of Veranderliche Sterne published by Johann Ambrosius Barth Ver lag, Leipzig, DDR, and Springer-Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg New York Tokyo. We have used the opportunity to make improvements and changes in a few places and to add details of new results and discoveries. The foreword to the second German edition remains no less valid for this one, including the changes. We would like to express our thanks to Mr. Dunlop for his expert and sympathetic translation and for the many improvements he suggested. December 1984 G. RICHTER and W. WENZEL Preface to the Second German Edition The suggestion that a second edition of this book should be prepared came equally from the readers, the publishers, and from the editors of the first edition. By a lucky coincidence the completion of the manuscript and the composition of these lines comes at the time of the 90th anniversary of the birth of Cuno Hoffmeister, the author of the first edition, and consequently this current work may be dedicated to his memory."

Der Vorschlag, eine zweite Auflage diel: les Buches herauszubringen, kam gleicher- massen vom Kreis der Benutzer, vom Verlag und von den Herausgebern der ersten Auflage. Durch einen glucklichen Zufall fallt die Vollendung des Manuskripts und die Abfassung dieser Zeilen in die Zeit des 90. Geburtstages von CUNO HOFFMEISTER, dem Autor der ersten Auflage, und so soll das vorliegende Werk seinem Andenken gewidmet sein. Was CUNO HOFFMEISTER zu Beginn des Vorworts der ersten Auflage uber die Schwierigkeiten der Literaturauswahl schrieb, galt naturlich nicht nur fur ihn damals, sondern es gilt fur uns heute in verstarktem Masse. Zwar hat, nicht zuletzt durch die Aktivitat der Internationalen Astronomischen Union, die Anzahl zusammen- fassender Darstellungen von Teilgebieten, die beispielsweise auf Symposien oder Kolloquien behandelt wurden, stark zugenommen. Die Autoren dieser zweiten Auflage konnten und mussten hierauf vielfaltig zuruckgreifen und verweisen. Trotzdem musste in zahlreichen Fallen die Literaturauswahl subjektiv bleiben, und sie fuhrte nicht sel- ten, gelegentlich sogar gewollt, zu einer Betonung eigener Arbeitsgebiete und Interes- sen. In- und auslandische Fachkollegen moegen freundlich entschuldigen, wenn sie nicht genugend oder gar nicht zitiert sind, weil wir keinerlei Versuch gewagt haben, Vollstandigkeit anzustreben.

Mit der Neuregelung der Zinsbesteuerung in Deutschland wurden priva te Finanzanleger zunehmend fUr steuerliche Fragestellungen sensibili siert: Die Zahl der Steuertips in Wirtschaftsmagazinen ist Legion und ei ne Bank, die keine Spezialinformationen zum Thema, Steuersparende Finanzanlagen'" bereithalt, lauft Gefahr bisher loyale Kunden zu verlie ren. Trotz eines offensichtlich gestiegenen Interesses fUr die steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen fUhlen sich viele Anleger gleichwohl von der Komplexitat steuerlicher Fragestellungen Uberfordert und sind unsicher in der steuerlichen Beurteilung von Finanzanlagen. AuBerdem unterliegt das Steuerrecht kontinuierlichen Veranderungen. Aktuelles Beispiel hier ftir stell en die Plane der Bundesregierung zur Harmonisierung der Zins besteuerung in den Landem der Europaischen Union (EU) dar. 1m Er gebnis fallt es haufig schwer, einen Zugang zur Materie der steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen zu finden. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Ziel dieses Buches, den steuerlich interes sierten Anleger mit systematischen Grundlageninformationen zur Ein kommensteuer zu versorgen, die es ihm ermoglichen, verschiedene An lagealtemativen unabhangig von Empfehlungen der Kreditinstitute und - unabhangig von kurzfristigen Anderungen der Rechtsprechung oder Gesetzgebung zu beurteilen. Auf der Basis eines so erworbenen einkommensteuerli chen Grundlagenwissens wird es moglich, die groBe Anzahl von Veran derungen unmittelbar dem betroffenen Teilbereich des Steuerrechts zu zuordnen, urn daran anschlieBend ihre Relevanz fUr das eigene Anlageportfolio abzuschatzen."

Home on the Rails - Women, the Railroad, and the Rise of Public Domesticity (Paperback, New edition): Amy G. Richter Home on the Rails - Women, the Railroad, and the Rise of Public Domesticity (Paperback, New edition)
Amy G. Richter
R1,227 Discovery Miles 12 270 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Recognizing the railroad's importance as both symbol and experience in Victorian America, Amy G. Richter follows women travelers onto trains and considers the consequences of their presence there. For a time, Richter argues, nineteenth-century Americans imagined the public realm as a chaotic and dangerous place full of potential, where various groups came together, collided, and influenced one another, for better or worse. The example of the American railroad reveals how, by the beginning of the twentieth century, this image was replaced by one of a domesticated public realm - a public space in which both women and men increasingly strove to make themselves ""at home."" Through efforts that ranged from the homey touches of railroad car decor to advertising images celebrating female travelers and legal cases sanctioning gender-segregated spaces, travelers and railroad companies transformed the railroad from a place of risk and almost unlimited social mixing into one in which white men and women alleviated the stress of unpleasant social contact. Making themselves ""at home"" aboard the trains, white men and women domesticated the railroad for themselves and paved the way for a racially segregated and class-stratified public space that freed women from the home yet still preserved the railroad as a masculine domain.

Als das MATHEMATISCHE VORSEMESTER im Herbst 1970 erstmals vom Westdeutschen Rundfunk, dem Kultusministerium des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen und der Uni- versitat Bielefeld veranstaltet wurde, war es auch ein GroBexperiment fUr das geplante Fer n stu diu m im Medienverbund. Experimentiert wurde einerseits mit vollig neuartigen Vermittlungsformen fUr das Fach Mathematik durch Einbeziehung der Medien Fernsehen, Texte und Tutorials, andererseits sollte auch die Kooperation zwischen Rundfunkanstalten, Ministerien und Hochschulen modellhaft erprobt werden. Damals hoff ten alle Beteiligten, durch die gemeinsame Entwicklung des Fern- studiums im Medienverbund eine 0 f f nun 9 der Hochschulen fUr breitere Bevolkerungsschichten zu erreichen und - unter Ausnutzung der durch den Me- dienverbund gegebenen didaktischen Moglichkeiten - eine grundlegende Ref 0 r mauch der Studieninhalte einzuleiten. Heute, nach fast einem Jahrzehnt, scheint es an der Zeit, Bilanz zu ziehen: Von Kooperation kann kaum noch die Rede sein. Beim Ringen urn EinfluB im ter- tiaren Bildungssektor haben sich die Partner von einst in schwer auflosbare Gegenpositionen manovriert. Den Rundfunkanstalten sind durch die Rechtsauf- sicht des Staates die Hande gebunden, den Hochschulen fehlt es an den not- wendigen Mitteln und an Personal, aber auch an Einigkeit untereinander. Die staatliche Seite schlieBlich ist von sich aus initiativ geworden. Das Land Nordrhein-Westfalen hat eine Fernuniversitat errichtet, deren GrUndungskon- zept aber weder eine Offnung der Hochschulen, noch einen Beitrag zur Stu- 1 dienreform vorsieht. ) Daneben gibt es ein von allen Bundeslandern geschlos- senes Verwaltungsabkommen mit dem Ziel, in einigen ausgewahlten Fachern die Entwicklung von Fernstudienmaterialien voranzutreiben.
