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.
The distinction between private and public realms of experience,
of social activity, and of personal identity are fundamental for
shaping everyday understanding and organization of social life, yet
the distinction has not been paramount in sociological theorizing.
Dividing Public and Private makes the public/private division
central to social theory and social inquiry. Gerald Turkel
demonstrates that by placing the public/private distinction at the
center of social thought and by rethinking the writings of such
classical theorists as Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Parsons through
the prism of the public/private division, new dimensions are raised
for the analysis of authority, legitimacy, law, political
participation, and the very meanings of freedom and necessity.
Based on the joining of legal, social, and political theory,
Turkel argues that the public/private division is crucial for
mediating and overcoming social totalism and privatized oppression.
Dividing Public and Private challenges such theoretical approaches
as critical theory, feminism, neo-Marxism, and liberalism to affirm
the public/private division in directions that support equality,
active participation in politics and the formation of collective
projects, and individual self-determination. It is particularly
appropriate for theorists in law, political science, and
sociology.
’Anyone interested in the future of autocracy should buy it’
Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Demoracy **Shortlisted for
the Moore Prize for Human Rights Literature** A devastating account
of China’s genocide of the Uyghurs, by a leading Uyghur activist
and Time #100 nominee Nury Turkel was born in a ‘re-education’
camp in China at the height of the Cultural Revolution. He spent
the first several months of his life in captivity with his mother,
who was beaten and starved while pregnant with him, whilst his
father served a penal sentence in an agricultural labour camp.
Following this traumatic start – and not without a heavy dose of
good fortune – he was later able to travel to the US for his
undergraduate studies in 1995 and was granted asylum in the country
in 1998 where, as a lawyer, he is now a tireless and renowned
activist for the plight of his people. Part memoir, part
call-to-action, No Escape will be the first major book to tell the
story of the Chinese government’s terrible oppression of the
Uyghur people from the inside, detailing the labour camps, ethnic
and religious oppression, forced sterilisation of women and the
surveillance tech that have made Xinjiang – in the words of one
Uyghur who managed to flee – ‘a police surveillance state
unlike any the world has ever known’.
Double bill of classic thrillers directed by Stanley Kubrick. In
'The Killing' (1956), Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden) gets out of
prison after a five-year stint and begins to put together plans for
a million dollar race track heist. As he gathers his crew together,
it seems that Johnny's plan is fool-proof and is sure to go off
without a hitch. However, when gang member George Peatty (Elisha
Cook Jr) tells his wife (Marie Windsor) about the plans, and she in
turn tells her boyfriend (Vince Edwards), the seeds are sown for
the whole operation's undoing. In 'Killer's Kiss' (1955), boxer
Davy Gordon (Jamie Smith) finds himself in a world of trouble when
he intervenes and saves dancer Gloria Price (Irene Kane) from her
seedy and violent boss Vincent Raphello (Frank Silvera). Davy and
Gloria fall in love and plan to leave the city and make a fresh
start, but Vincent is angry and jealous and sends his men to kill
the young lovers...
The history of post-Civil War Reconstruction wasn't written by the
winners. Congress forced Reconstruction on an unrepentant South
steeped in resentment and hatred, where the old guard and old
attitudes still held sway, murder and depredations against freed
slaves and sympathizers were rampant, and 'black laws' swapped the
physical bonds of slavery for legislative ones. During
Reconstruction, talented black leaders rose to serve in Congress
and in state and local governments.Blacks and whites struggled
together to secure the rights of millions of freed slaves, now
citizens, and to heal the wounds of a shattered nation. But
Reconstruction was overthrown, victim of lingering antipathy and a
smear campaign that fueled the myth of a South ravaged by
incompetents, scalawags and carpetbaggers, a myth perpetuated
everywhere from encyclopedias and history books to today's media.
Consequently, the heroic efforts of many Reconstruction figures
have been misrepresented, dismissed, or simply forgotten.These
biographical sketches profile 16 diverse men and women whose
Reconstruction efforts should not be overlooked. They range from
Blanche Kelso Bruce - a freed slave who became the first African
American to serve a full term in and preside over the Senate, and
to have his signature appear on the nation's currency - to James
Longstreet, one of the Confederacy's greatest generals, branded a
traitor to the lost cause and slandered as the goat of Gettysburg
after he championed equal voting rights. Chapters explore the
beginning and end of Reconstruction.
Based on her 12 year study of a free-standing birth center,
Turkel analyzes the medical model of childbirth in contrast to the
midwifery model. In the medical model of birth, women are defined
as patients and birth takes place in hospitals where women have
little, if any, control over their experience. The midwifery model
views birth as a healthy process where midwives act as teachers and
guides for women during pregnancy and birth, helping women and
their families to shape and define their experience to meet their
needs and expectations. Under existing legal and cultural
circumstances, free-standing birth centers face a dilemma. They
must continually accomodate the medical model while trying to
maintain the midwifery model and give women an option to home birth
or to hospital birth.
During the thirty years prior to the Civil War, Americans built
hotels larger and more ostentatious than any in the rest of the
world. These hotels were inextricably intertwined with American
culture and customs but were accessible to average citizens. As
Jefferson Williamson wrote in "The American Hotel" ( Knopf 1930),
hotels were perhaps "the most distinctively American of all our
institutions for they were nourished and brought to flower solely
in American soil and borrowed practically nothing from abroad."
Development of hotels was stimulated by the confluence of travel,
tourism and transportation. In 1869, the transcontinental railroad
engendered hotels by Henry Flagler, Fred Harvey, George Pullman and
Henry Plant. The Lincoln Highway and the Interstate Highway System
triggered hotel development by Carl Fisher, Ellsworth Statler,
Kemmons Wilson and Howard Johnson. The airplane stimulated Juan
Trippe, John Bowman, Conrad Hilton, Ernest Henderson, A.M.
Sonnabend and John Hammons.. My research into the lives of these
great hoteliers reveals that none of them grew up in the
hospitality business but became successful through their intense
on-the- job experiences. My investigation has uncovered remarkable
and startling true stories about these pioneers, some of whom are
well-known and others who are lost in the dustbin of history.

Stanley Kubrick directs this chilling adaptation of the Stephen
King shocker. Seeking solitude in order to write a novel, Jack
Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as an off-season caretaker at
the remote Overlook Hotel in Colorado. Eager to get started, Jack
disregards warnings that the isolation drove a former caretaker
mad, and moves into the massive resort with his wife Wendy (Shelley
Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd). But Danny has a supernatural
gift which makes him aware of an evil lurking in the hotel, and
sure enough, as winter storms cut the hotel off from civilisation,
Jack gradually becomes murderously insane.
