Daniel Craig narrates this feature-length BBC wildlife documentary
celebrating the diversity and tenacity of life on earth. Edited
together from some 10,000 hours of footage from the BBC's natural
history archives, the film focuses on the cyclical journey taken by
all living things, from their own birth to the moment they deliver
youngsters of their own and the next generation is born.
The City in the Forest, Atlanta was a spot found in the wilderness
of north Georgia for the end of a railroad line. It was thought few
people would stay here, because most would be passing through to
somewhere else. Instead, the people remained and the town grew,
growing from Terminus to Marthasville to Atlanta. The city was
defined by the rail lines, and for that reason, General William T.
Sherman came with the Civil War. After he left the city in ruins,
Atlanta rebuilt, rising from the ashes, raising a brave and
beautiful city. With a selection of fine historic images from his
best-selling book, Historic Photos of Atlanta, Michael
Rose provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on
the growth and development of Atlanta. For a century and a half,
Atlanta has been the southern city on the move, a town of
railroads, business and trade—putting up and pulling
down—airplanes and highways, America’s team and international
Olympics. Along the way, professional and amateur photographers
have documented Atlanta’s rich visual history. This
volume, Remembering Atlanta, presents over 100 images
of the city’s past, including views of its streets, the people
who called it home, and the life, look, and feel of Atlanta.

From September 1836 to December 1837, young Aboriginal clerks
produced the Flinders Island Weekly Chronicle, a remarkable record
of life on the island off Tasmania where a number of Aboriginal
people had been forced to resettle. Copied by hand, it describes
the settlement in often poignant terms 'I am much afraid none of us
will be alive by and by as there is nothing but sickness among us.
Why don't the black fellows pray to the king to get us away from
this place?' Starting with this extraordinary newsletter, Michael
Rose has brought together examples of Aboriginal journalism from a
wide range of Aboriginal and mainstream publications. He includes
articles from early activists and others who used newspaper and
magazine journalism in their fight for justice. For The Record also
offers the reader an unusual glimpse, through Aboriginal eyes, of
key issues and events in Aboriginal and Australian history.
Included in the dozens of articles selected: protests about poor
treatment on reserves in the 1930s, an eyewitness account of a
Maralinga atomic bomb test in the 1950s, Bill Rosser's reporting of
life on Palm Island, Kevin Gilbert's passionate call for a formal
treaty between Aboriginal people and the Australian government and
Poel Pearson's commentary on the High Court's Mabo decision.
This title was first published in 1979: Deftly combining an
analysis of socio-economic change and social institutions with
political commentary, intellectual biography and theoretical
critique, the author identifies the hidden similarities of the
different currents in sociologie du travail and accounts for the
popularity of such bold but fragile notions as Mallet's 'new
working class' or Touraine's 'post industrial society'.
Simultaneously, the relation between sociologie du travail and the
state , management and politics is defined and evaluated. Finally,
the author discusses the work of the new generation of
investigators emerging after the crisis-point of 1968. His
conclusions are relevant not only for the many English speaking
social scientistswho have been rediscoveringthe problems of the
labour process, but for students of industrial relations,
intellectual history, Marxism and modern French society.

Lost Atlanta journeys back in time to look at the city as it once
was. Old theaters, hotels, ballparks, civic buildings and the early
transport system of the city are recalled in this book written by a
best-selling Atlanta historian and his colleagues at the Atlanta
History Center. Listed in chronological order the losses stretch
back to 1821 and the Creek Indians. Major events in Atlanta history
are encompassed, such as the Civil War destruction of 1864, the
Cotton States International Exposition of 1896, the Great Atlanta
Fire of 1917 right though to 1996 and the dismantling of key venues
after the 1996 Olympic Games. Sites include: Georgia State Capitol,
Ponce de Leon Springs, Jacob's Pharmacy, Candler Race Track, Union
Passenger Depot, Kimball House Hotel, Atlanta Crackers, Buttermilk
Bottom, Hebrew Orphanage, Henry Grady Hotel, Plaza Park, 1904
Atlanta Terminal Station, The Omni and the Greyhound Bus Terminal.
Archive and contemporary photographs of the same landmark sit
side-by-side to show how "Gate City" became the bustling capital of
the New South. Atlanta blends the old-Southern charm and
hospitality of its history with the energy of the modern millennial
city. Staked out in the 1837 wilderness of northeast Georgia, the
site that became Atlanta was identified as the termination point
for the as-yet unbuilt railroad line. Since that time,
transportation has been key to the city's growth, from its
declaration as the Gate City of the South in 1857, its prominence
as a distribution center during the Civil War, to its current
designation as home of the nation's busiest airport. At the end of
the 19th century, Atlanta presented itself to the world in a grand
international exposition; it closed the next century by bringing
the world to Atlanta as it hosted the 1996 Centennial Olympic
Games. Throughout this drive from rural terminal to urban
metropolis, Atlanta has witnessed incredible growth. The scenes in
this book document this change as the city's tree-lined avenues and
country crossroads gave way to high-rises, busy city intersections,
and community growth. Atlanta: Then and Now is a captivating
chronicle of history and change since the dawn of the camera age.
It pairs historic photographs, many more than a century old, with
specially commissioned views of the same scene as it exists today
to show the evolution of Atlanta from its early years to the very
different city that it is today. Sites include: Ellis, Hunter,
Alabama, Marietta, Peachtree and Decatur Streets, Train Gulch,
Cabbage Town, Inman Park, Georgian Terrace, Terminal Station, The
Castle, and Margaret Mitchell Square
The Cambridgeshire Fens lie north of Cambridge and share boundaries
with Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Until the seventeenth century the
fens were marsh and swamp, with wide sluggish rivers. Those that
could survive the damp and the fen ague made a living catching
fish, wildfowling and cutting sedge and reeds. After the drainage,
which revealed the rich fertile peat soil, man battled with
flooding and isolation to create the richest farming land in the
country. At the moment a car is essential to reach most areas, but
new cycle ways are taking shape and there is great potential for
tourism and recreation to boost the local economy. The Wicken Fen
vision and the Great Fen project are developing to recreate some of
the old Fenland habitat alongside the intensive farming. Welcome to
one of the most fascinating areas of our diverse country.
During the 1980's, British trade unionism confronted its greatest
challenge, and suffered its greatest reverses, since the inter-war
period. After a decade of rapid growth, the unions experienced a
steep decline in membership, and a virtual marginalization in
national political affairs. By 1990, a united, self-confident,
social movement as well as a powerful industrial bargainer, often
seemed more closely akin to a demoralized collection of special
interest groupings. This book addresses a number of fundamental
questions raised by the record of these years. It examines the
reasons for membership loss and the implications for trade union
influence in the workplace. It looks at the steps the unions took
in reaction to the membership problem and the difficulties they
confronted doing so. It also looks at whether this period can be
seen as making a fundamental break with the past, resulting in
irretrievable loss by British trade unionism of its former
important position in British society and the British workplace, or
whether the past decade has been but a temporary recession and the
future can still see revived movement. This book is intended for
scholars, postgraduates, and 3rd year
Through a deft compilation of primary sources letters, memoirs, and
personal accounts from composers, librettists, and performers
Michael Rose re-creates for his readers the circumstances that gave
rise to fifteen operatic milestones. From Monteverdi and Mozart to
Puccini and Berg, each chapter focuses on a well-known opera and
tells the story that lies behind its creation.
Rather than retreading familiar ground with pages of historical
and musical analysis, Rose places each opera firmly in the context
of the composer s life and provides an engaging text in which the
varied and colorful personalities involved are seen to discuss,
comment, and contribute in one way or another to the progress of
its composition. The reader will find Mozart with a new and
flamboyant librettist tackling the risky enterprise of Le Nozze di
Figaro; Wagner confessing his hidden love for the woman who
inspires him as he creates the passionate drama of Tristan und
Isolde; Verdi deep in Shakespearian discussion with Boito as they
remodel the tragedy of Otello; and Debussy coming almost literally
to blows with Maeterlinck over the soprano to take the leading role
in Pelleas et Melisande.
Throughout, Rose offers his readers the most direct possible
link to events that have often become twisted or obscured by
operatic myth, and in so doing he captures the bizarre interactions
of chance, genius, practical necessity, and dogged determination
that accompanied the making of some of opera s most enduring
masterpieces."
Michael Rose geht der Frage nach, wie die Interessen zukunftiger
Generationen trotz der Gegenwartsfixiertheit der Demokratie in den
heutigen politischen Entscheidungsprozess eingebracht werden
koennen. Nach Schaffung der demokratie- und
reprasentationstheoretischen Grundlagen identifiziert,
typologisiert und analysiert der Autor 29 reale Institutionen, die
sich als sogenannte Proxys qualifizieren. Wie sich herausstellt,
haben nur wenige davon ein hohes Wirkungspotenzial und ein breites
Spektrum an Politikinstrumenten zur Verfugung, jedoch koennen sie
auch unter widrigen Rahmenbedingungen institutionalisiert werden.
