 Niels P. Petersson, "The Foundations of Worldwide Economic Integration: Power, Institutions, and Global Markets, 1850-1930 " English | ISBN: 1107030153 | 2013 | 292 pages | PDF | 3 MB The essays in this volume discuss the worldwide economic integration between 1850 and 1930, challenging the popular description of the period after 1918 as one of mere deglobalisation. The authors posit that markets were not only places of material exchange, but also socially structured entities, shaped by the agency of individual actors and by complex structures of political and economic power. Economic transactions were supported by an array of different institutions, ranging from formalized regulations to informal relations of personal trust. They argue that these networks were strong enough to prosper even through and after World War I, in a political climate often hostile to foreign trade. The Foundations of Worldwide Economic Integration shows that institutionalism altered its shape in the face of circumstances that increasingly challenged international trade. By presenting case studies from various countries, this book offers a fresh perspective on crucial periods of economic globalisation.

The End Of Cinema As We Know It: American Film in the Nineties edited by Jon Lewis English | December 1, 2001 | ISBN: 0814751601, 081475161X | True EPUB | 288 pages | 4.8 MB Thirty-four essays that take a serious look at the state of modern cinema  The Contemporary Museum: Shaping Museums for the Global Now By Simon Knell (editor) 2018 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 081536492X | PDF | 35 MB The Contemporary Museum issues a challenge to those who view the museum as an artefact of history, constrained in its outlook as much by professional, institutional and disciplinary creed, as by the collections it accumulated in the distant past. Denying that the museum can locate its purpose in the pursuit of tradition or in idealistic speculation about the future, the book asserts that this can only be found through an ongoing and proactive negotiation with the present: the contemporary. This volume is not concerned with any present, but with the peculiar circumstances of what it refers to as the 'global contemporary' - the sense of living in a globally connected world that is preoccupied with the contemporary. To situate the museum in this world of real and immediate need and action, beyond the reach of history, the book argues, is to empower it to challenge existing dogmas and inequalities and sweep aside old hierarchies. As a result, fundamental questions need to be asked about such things as the museum's relationship to global time and space, to systems and technologies of knowing, to 'the life well lived', to the movement and rights of people, and to the psychology, permanence and organisation of culture. Incorporating diverse viewpoints from around the world, The Contemporary Museum is a follow-up volume to Museum Revolutions and, as such, should be essential reading for students in the fields of museum and heritage studies, cultural studies, communication and media studies, art history and social policy. Academics and museum professionals will also find this book a source of inspiration.

Gerteis, "The Civil War in Missouri: A Military History " English | ISBN: 0826219721 | 2012 | 256 pages | EPUB | 16 MB Guerrilla warfare, border fights, and unorganized skirmishes are all too often the only battles associated with Missouri during the Civil War. Combined with the state's distance from both sides' capitals, this misguided impression paints Missouri as an insignificant player in the nation's struggle to define itself. Such notions, however, are far from an accurate picture of the Midwest state's contributions to the war's outcome. Though traditionally cast in a peripheral role, the conventional warfare of Missouri was integral in the Civil War's development and ultimate conclusion. The strategic battles fought by organized armies are often lost amidst the stories of guerrilla tactics and bloody combat, but in  Howard Murad, "The Cellulite Solution: A Doctor's Program for Losing Lumps, Bumps, Dimples, and Stretch Marks" English | ISBN: 0312334613 | 2005 | 240 pages | EPUB | 689 KB Featuring the youth-building cellulite diet  The Brave New World: A History of Early America, 3rd Edition by Peter Charles Hoffer English | January 31st, 2023 | ISBN: 1421445425 | 616 pages | True EPUB | 18.42 MB A lively synthesis of early American history, now in its third edition.
