Combined Transport Documents provides a comprehensive guide to
combined transport or multi-modal contracts. It examines the main
contracts that deal with combined transport logically, from those
concerned with the procuring of tonnage through to those that deal
with general average and salvage. It also focuses on the
complicated chains of indemnity particular to multimember
consortium operations and explains in substantial detail a
recommended draft bill of lading contract of carriage which the
author himself developed. Combined Transport Documents provides a

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.
This book is an indispensable "cutting edge" book for students and
researchers of journalism studies seeking a text that illustrates
and applies a range of linguistic and discourse-analytic approaches
to the analysis of journalism. While the form, function and
politics of the language of journalism have attracted scholars from
a wide range of academic disciplines, too often this analysis has
reduced the work of journalists to text-characteristics alone. In
contrast, this collection is united by the principle that
journalistic discourse is always socially situated and the result
of a series of processes - produced by journalists in accordance
with particular production techniques and in specific institutional
settings - and as such, analysis requires more than the methods
offered by linguists. The contributors to this book draw on a range
of the most prominent theoretical and methodological approaches to
media discourse - including Conversation Analysis, Critical
Discourse Analysis, the APPRAISAL framework, Multi-modal Analysis
and Rhetoric - in making sense of the language of newspapers
(national, local and minority press), television and online
journalism. Written in an engaging style by distinguished academic
authorities, this book provides a state-of-the-art review of the
subject. This book was published as a special issue of Journalism
Studies.
This anthology of 18th-century English poetry is extensively
annotated for a new generation of readers. It combines the scope of
a period anthology with the detailed annotations of an
authoritative single-author edition. Selected poets include John
Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, John Dryden, Jonathan Swift, Anne Finch,
Countess of Winchilsea, Joseph Addison, Alexander Pope and William
Cowper. The guiding principle of the annotation is one of
thoroughness: the editors concentrate on works where the meanings
have changed, on primary allusions and on relevant details of
social and political history.

In 2019, Oscar-winning special effects supremo John Richardson
released his first book, the bestselling Making Movie Magic, which
chronicled his remarkable career in the film industry. A year
later, during a house clear-out as the UK was stuck in a seemingly
never-ending lockdown, he unearthed another treasure trove of
behind-the-scenes images from the blockbuster films he worked on.
Featuring never-before-seen photos from the Harry Potter films,
eight James Bond films, The Omen, A Bridge Too Far, Superman,
Aliens, Willow, Cliffhanger and many others, all reproduced in
stunning colour alongside extended captions, Making Movie Magic:
The Photographs is a further celebration of Richardson's
extraordinary body of work over five decades.
Philip Glass and Robert Wilson's most celebrated collaboration, the
landmark opera Einstein on the Beach, had its premiere at the
Avignon Festival in 1976. During its initial European tour,
Metropolitan Opera premiere, and revivals in 1984 and 1992,
Einstein provoked opposed reactions from both audiences and
critics. Today, Einstein is well on the way itself to becoming a
canonized avant-garde work, and it is widely acknowledged as a
profoundly significant moment in the history of opera or musical
theater. Einstein created waves that for many years crashed against
the shores of traditional thinking concerning the nature and
creative potential of audiovisual expression. Reaching beyond
opera, its influence was felt in audiovisual culture in general: in
contemporary avant-garde music, performance art, avant-garde
cinema, popular film, popular music, advertising, dance, theater,
and many other expressive, commercial, and cultural spheres.
Inspired by the 2012-2015 series of performances that
re-contextualized this unique work as part of the present-day nexus
of theoretical, political, and social concerns, the editors and
contributors of this book take these new performances as a pretext
for far-reaching interdisciplinary reflection and dialogue. Essays
range from those that focus on the human scale and agencies
involved in productions to the mechanical and post-human character
of the opera's expressive substance. A further valuable dimension
is the inclusion of material taken from several recent interviews
with creative collaborators Philip Glass, Robert Wilson, and
Lucinda Childs, each of these sections comprising knee plays, or
short intermezzo sections resembling those found in the opera
Einstein on the Beach itself. The book additionally features a
foreword written by the influential musicologist and cultural
theorist Susan McClary and an interview with film and theater
luminary Peter Greenaway, as well as a short chapter of
reminiscences written by the singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega.

The global trend in educational participation has brought with it a
cross-national consequence: the expansion of students with "special
needs" (SEN) placed in special education and the growth of "low
achieving" students diverted to vocational tracks. This book
explores the global expansion of special and vocational education
as a highly variable event, not only across nations of considerable
economic, political and cultural difference, but between nations
with evident similarities as well. The Global Convergence of
Vocational and Special Education analyzes how the concept of
secular benevolence underscores the divergent and convergent
trajectories that vocational and special education have taken
across the globe. The authors embrace national differences as the
means to observe two dicta of comparative research: similar origins
can result in very different outcomes, and similar outcomes can be
the result of very different origins.

First published in 1998, the three main themes of the book are
representation (images and symbols which depict the body),
regulation (the social control of bodies) and resistance
(strategies which challenge dominant representation and
regulation). These themes run through the various chapters which
span a wide spectrum of bodily topics. The chapters deal not only
with major issues such as media images of male and female bodies,
but also with neglected problems such as workplace bullying,
unusual settings such as residential institutions for trainee
clergy and 'exotica' such as naturism and fetish practices. The
topics range from the healthy and sporting - bodybuilding clubs and
rugby culture - through to the health problems of Crohn's Disease
sufferers and the self-harm practices of women in bail hostels.
Also, the book sheds light on the ageing process by including not
just young people (teenage girls in physical education lessons) but
also the older and increasingly assertive generation of
'wrinklies.'

history, media studies and cultural studies as they analyse an
array of examples, including live performances, music festivals,
audiovisual material and much more. Publication Forum (Finland)
lists this book as a Level 2 publication, where 'the highest-level
publications are directed as a result of extensive competition and
demanding peer-review'. For Intellect's full listings in this

Advances in Critical Discourse Studies collects ground-breaking
scholarship and cutting-edge research which reflects significant
shifts in Critical Discourse Studies, exploring the field from
theoretical, analytic and methodological perspectives. Innovative
chapters analyse a diverse range of discourses including
journalism, mass media, political communication, policy documents,
interviews, photographic archive and official bodies. The chapters
in Part I explore Critical Discourse Studies from the point of view
of history, memory, identity politics, and discourse, analysing
salient examples of how memory and recollection of the past shapes
understandings and narratives of the present, and visions of future
societies. Part II explores problem-oriented analysis in Critical
Discourse Studies and examines the roles that discourse plays in
the formation, perpetuation and transformation of class relations.
Finally, Part III explores a methodological issue by looking at the
benefits of reinforcing fieldwork and ethnographic analysis in
Critical Discourse Studies. The case studies throughout the book
demonstrate that analytic research contributes significantly to the
in-depth and in-situ research of a variety of increasingly complex
social, historical, political and economic contexts. This book was
originally published as three special issues of the journal
Critical Discourse Studies.

Martin Heidegger is one of the twentieth century's most
influential, but also most cryptic and controversial philosophers.
His early fusion of phenomenology with existentialism inspired
Sartre and many others, and his later critique of modern
rationality inspired Derrida and still others. This introduction
covers the whole of Heidegger's thought and is ideal for anyone
coming to his work for the first time. John Richardson centres his
account on Heidegger's persistent effort to change the very kind of
understanding or truth we seek. Beginning with an overview of
Heidegger's life and work, he sketches the development of
Heidegger's thought up to the publication of Being and Time. He
shows how that book takes up Husserl's method of phenomenology and
adapts it. He then introduces and assesses the key arguments of
Being and Time under three headings-pragmatism, existentialism, and
temporality-its three levels of analysis of human experience.
Subsequent chapters introduce Heidegger's later philosophy,
including his turn towards a historical account of being, and new
ideas about how we need to 'think' to get the truth about it; his
influential writings on language, art, and poetry, and their role
in the Western history of being; and his claim that this history
has culminated in a technological relation to things that is deeply
problematic, above all in the way it excludes the divine. The final
chapter looks at Heidegger's profound influence on several
intellectual movements ranging from phenomenology to existentialism
to postmodernism. A much-needed and refreshing introduction to this
major figure, Heidegger is ideal reading for anyone coming to his
work for the first time and will interest and stimulate students
and scholars alike.
