Extending the work of The Routledge Handbook to Nineteenth-Century
British Periodicals and Newspapers, this volume provides a critical
introduction and case studies that illustrate cutting-edge
approaches to periodicals research, as well as an overview of
recent developments in the field. The twelve chapters model diverse
approaches and methodologies for research on nineteenth-century
periodicals. Each case study is contextualized within one of the
following broad areas of research: single periodicals, individual
journalists, gender issues, periodical networks, genre, the
relationship between periodicals, transnational/transatlantic
connections, technologies of printing and illustration, links
within a single periodical, topical subjects, science and
periodicals, and imperialism and periodicals. Contributors
incorporate first-person accounts of how they conducted their
research and provide specific examples of how they gained access to
primary sources, as well as the methods they used to analyze the
materials. The 2018 winner of the Robert and Vineta Colby Scholarly
Book Prize. The Committee describes the focus of the book on
methodology and case studies as "fresh and original," and "useful
for both experienced scholars and those new to the field."
"Overall. Case Studies suggests new ways of reading canonical
authors, new unerstandings of the interprentation of the personal
and the public, and an admirable energy in engaging with the
structures of national and transnational periodical discourses that
are clearly implicated in maintaining soft power within societies"

The 2017 winner of the Robert and Vineta Colby Scholarly Book Prize
Providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of
scholarship on nineteenth-century British periodicals, this volume
surveys the current state of research and offers researchers an
in-depth examination of contemporary methodologies. The impact of
digital media and archives on the field informs all discussions of
the print archive. Contributors illustrate their arguments with
examples and contextualize their topics within broader areas of
study, while also reflecting on how the study of periodicals may
evolve in the future. The Handbook will serve as a valuable
resource for scholars and students of nineteenth-century culture
who are interested in issues of cultural formation, transformation,
and transmission in a developing industrial and globalizing age, as
well as those whose research focuses on the bibliographical and the
micro case study. In addition to rendering a comprehensive review
and critique of current research on nineteenth-century British
periodicals, the Handbook suggests new avenues for research in the
twenty-first century. "This volume's 30 chapters deal with
practically every aspect of periodical research and with the
specific topics and audiences the 19th-century periodical press
addressed. It also covers matters such as digitization that did not
exist or were in early development a generation ago. In addition to
the essays, readers will find 50 illustrations, 54 pages of
bibliography, and a chronology of the periodical press. This book
gives seemingly endless insights into the ways periodicals and
newspapers influenced and reflected 19th-century culture. It not
only makes readers aware of problems involved in interpreting the
history of the press but also offers suggestions for ways of
untangling them and points the direction for future research. It
will be a valuable resource for readers with interests in almost
any aspect of 19th-century Britain. Summing Up: Highly recommended"

This volume contains the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research
Workshop (ARW) on the topic of "Changes in Speech and Face
Processing in Infancy: A glimpse at Developmental Mechanisms of
Cognition," which was held in Carry-Ie-Rouet (France) at the
Vacanciel "La Calanque," from June 29 to July 3, 1992. For many
years, developmental researchers have been systematically exploring
what is concealed by the blooming and buzzing confusion (as William
James described the infant's world). Much research has been carried
out on the mechanisms by which organisms recognize and relate to
their conspecifics, in particular with respect to language
acquisition and face recognition. Given this background, it seems
worthwhile to compare not only the conceptual advances made in
these two domains, but also the methodological difficulties faced
in each of them. In both domains, there is evidence of
sophisticated abilities right from birth. Similarly, researchers in
these domains have focused on whether the mechanisms underlying
these early competences are modality-specific, object specific or
otherwise."

This volume is based on one of the first interdisciplinary meetings
to focus on early developmental neurocognition. It has now been
clearly established that human infants process complex events such
as faces and speech sounds quite early in their life. The crucial
problem nowadays is to elucidate how these competences emerge and
develop: what kinds of mechanisms are involved that make
information processing systems both so specific and so adaptive to
the relevant biological signals, how the interactions with the
environmental inputs contribute to the neuronal functional
organization, to the onset and changes in competences, and how the
various successive changes in infants' abilities and competences
relate to each other. These are some of the questions addressed in
the present volume: they constitute major challenges to
neurobiologists, neuropsychologists, psychologists and linguists.
Not only is human cognitive development a fascinating and important
issue per se, it is also crucial to understanding the
neurobiological mechanisms involved in adult competences. The
meeting on which this volume was based was held in July 1992. It
brought together some outstanding international specialists in the
relevant scientific fields in a spirit of interdisciplinary
exchange. Their contributions cover the latest research on these
topics and include some exciting new conceptual advances.
This book includes 15 programming and constructional projects, and
covers the range of AVR chips currently available, including the
recent Tiny AVR. No prior experience with microcontrollers is
assumed.
John Morton is author of the popular PIC: Your Personal
Introductory Course, also published by Newnes.
*The hands-on way of learning to use the Atmel AVR
microcontroller
*Project work designed to put the AVR through its paces
*The only book designed to get you up-and-running with the AVR from
square one
John Morton offers a uniquely concise and practical guide to
getting up and running with the PIC Microcontroller. The PIC is one
of the most popular of the microcontrollers that are transforming
electronic project work and product design, and this book is the
ideal introduction for students, teachers, technicians and
electronics enthusiasts.
Assuming no prior knowledge of microcontrollers and introducing the
PIC Microcontroller's capabilities through simple projects, this
book is ideal for electronics hobbyists, students, school pupils
and technicians. The step-by-step explanations and the useful
projects make it ideal for student and pupil self-study: this is
not just a reference book - you start work with the PIC
microcontroller straight away.
The revised third edition focuses entirely on the re-programmable
flash PIC microcontrollers such as the PIC16F54, PIC16F84 and the
extraordinary 8-pin PIC12F508 and PIC12F675 devices.
* Demystifies the leading microcontroller for students, engineers
an hobbyists
* Emphasis on putting the PIC to work, not theoretical
microelectronics
* Simple programs and circuits introduce key features and commands
through project work
The letters of Theodore Roosevelt constitute a major contribution
to the field of American history and literature. At the same time,
they present an autobiography of matchless candor and vitality.
They are at once a mine of information for the historian, a case
study in astute and vigorous political leadership, and a delight to
the general reader. All the letters needed to reveal Roosevelt's
thought and action in his public and private life are included,
with appropriate editorial comment; and each is printed in its
entirety.
