Manufacturing managers are still focused on the short-term tactical
issues related to their business. Strategic issues tend to receive
less attention. However, manufacturing can play an important
strategic role. This book helps managers consider the strategic
roles their operations can play and to provide guidance as to what
actions can be taken.
Delivering fundamental insights into the most popular methods of
molecular analysis, this text is an invaluable resource for
students and researchers. It encompasses an extensive range of
spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques used for molecular
analysis in the life sciences, especially in the elucidation of the
structure and function of biological molecules. Covering the range
of up-to-date methodologies from everyday mass spectrometry and
centrifugation to the more probing X-ray crystallography and
surface-sensitive techniques, the book is intended for
undergraduates starting out in the laboratory and for more advanced
postgraduates pursuing complex research goals. The comprehensive
text provides strong emphasis on the background principles of each
method, including equations where they are of integral importance
to the individual techniques. With sections on all the major
procedures for analysing biological molecules, this book will serve
as a useful guide across a range of fields, from new drug discovery
to forensics and environmental studies.
This exciting addition to Dostoevsky studies deals with the
religious dimension of the novelist's life and fiction. Malcolm
Jones takes a fresh reading of Dostoevsky's representation of
religion in his fictional world, that allows for both mystery and
fear. The author argues that the spiritual map of human experience
that Dostoevsky offers includes only the occasional small island of
serenity in vast, turbulent oceans of doubt, rebellion, rejection,
indifference and disbelief. Dostoevsky is also viewed as an artist,
revealing glimpses of salvation through subversive narrative
techniques and destabilized, vulnerable characters. Dostoevsky's
fictional characters experience the dread of a meaningless void as
well as a desperate longing for the restorative binding idea that
religion offers. 'Dostoevsky and the Dynamics of Religious
Experience' offers a balanced and authoritative argument. The book
is structured through six clearly defined and self-reliant essays
that take into account past and current criticism and offer a close
textual analysis of Dostoevsky's works, including 'The Double',
'Notes from Underground', 'Crime and Punishment', 'The Idiot', 'The
Devils' and an in-depth study of 'The Brothers Karamazov'. This
work is a major contribution to the study of Dostoevsky and Russian
Literature in Europe, the USA, Russia and throughout the world.

Introduction by Malcolm Jones; Translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky
Manufacturing managers are still focused on the short-term tactical
issues related to their business. Strategic issues tend to receive
less attention. However, manufacturing can play an important
strategic role. This book helps managers consider the strategic
roles their operations can play and to provide guidance as to what
actions can be taken.
Notes from the Underground (1864) is one of the most profound works
of nineteenth-century literature. A probing, speculative book,
often regarded as a forerunner of the Existentialist movement, it
examines the important political and philosophical questions that
were current in Russia and Europe at the time. The Gambler (1866),
set in the fictional town of Roulettenberg, explores the compulsive
nature of gambling, one of the author's own vices and a subject he
describes with extraordinary acumen and drama. Specially
commissioned for the World's Classics, this new translation
includes a full editorial apparatus. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
The print repertoire of the 16th and 17th centuries in England has
been neglected historically, and this remarkable book rectifies a
major oversight in the history of English visual art. It provides
an iconographic survey of the single-sheet prints produced during
the early modern era and brings to light significant recent
discoveries from this visual storehouse. It publishes many works
for the first time, as well as placing them and those relatively
few others known to specialists in their cultural context. This
large body of material is treated broadly thematically, and within
each theme, chronologically. Portents and prodigies, the formal
moralities and doctrines of Christianity, the sects of
Christianity, visual satire of foreigners and "others," domestic
political issues, social criticism and gender roles, marriage and
sex, as well as numerical series and miscellaneous visual tricks,
puzzles, and jokes, are all examined. The book concludes by
considering the significance of this wealth of visual material for
the cultural history of England in the early modern era. Published
for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art

This collection of essays was first published in 1978. They
commemorate the 150th anniversary of Tolstoy's birth in 1828. The
range in subject matter is great and includes a reconsideration of
the problems of translating Tolstoy into English, fresh approaches
to his major fiction (War and Peace and Anna Karenina), a study of
an underrated later work (Hadji Murat) and reassessments of Tolstoy
as a thinker. The final essay records an attempt to establish a
'Tolstoyan' colony at Purleigh during Tolstoy's own lifetime. There
is also a bibliographical survey of British work on Tolstoy up
until the 1970s. The whole collection was conceived as a
specifically British contribution to the 150th anniversary
celebrations. The book is illustrated with a number of little-known
photographs of Tolstoy.
