Walt Whitman's Guide to Manly Health and Training
by Walt WhitmanA giftable, illustrated collection of quotes and pithy advice--equal parts self-help and grooming guide--by quintessential American poet and writer Walt Whitman.In 1858, famed American author Walt Whitman penned a series of newspaper columns under a pseudonym on the subject of “manly health and training,” shortly before his landmark third edition of Leaves of Grass was published. Recently discovered for the first time in 150 years, the fascinating manifesto contains the renowned poet’s advice and musings on topics such as diet, exercise, grooming, alcohol, dancing, sports, and more. This short collection presents more than 75 of his best quips, quotes, and extracts on healthy living, all in Whitman’s signature lyrical prose style.
Walter Benjamin and Antonio Gramsci: A Missed Encounter (Marx and Marxisms)
by Elettra Stimilli Dario Gentili Gabriele GuerraThis book marks a missed encounter between two of the most influential Marxist thinkers of our age, Walter Benjamin and Antonio Gramsci, studied here for the first time side by side.Benjamin and Gramsci were contemporaries, whose births and deaths took place within a few years of each other in Western Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Two Marxists sui generis, they radically changed Marxism’s themes and vocabulary, profoundly influencing the most significant analyses and debates. At a time in which Marxism was considered to be outdated and in crisis, both Gramsci’s and Benjamin’s thoughts provided resources for its renewal: particularly in postcolonial studies for Gramsci and in new media studies for Benjamin. Both were victims of fascism, on the threshold of the catastrophe of the Second World War. These two philosophers’ posthumous fortune depended on the transmission of their thought, which was first entrusted to friends and comrades, and then to entire generations of scholars from a wide range of disciplines.Editors, Dario Gentili, Elettra Stimilli, and Gabriele Guerra explore with leading voices on Benjamin and Gramsci the most relevant and topical issues today. The book gives an indispensable new perspective in Marxism for students and researchers alike.
Walter Gropius in Britain: Emigration and Collaborations (Routledge Research in Architecture)
by Alborz DianatAs the first monograph dedicated to Walter Gropius’s activity in Britain, this book provides a comprehensive account of the Bauhaus founder’s contributions to architecture and design while living in London between 1934 and 1937. Drawing on earlier and later decades, this reveals the close contact between British, German and American design circles, with Gropius bridging parallel developments.In its approach, this book concentrates on the individuals working to aid Gropius in Britain and spurring the architect’s enduring dominance in English‑language histories. This includes his architectural partner Maxwell Fry, his translator P. Morton Shand, his employer Jack Pritchard and many other prominent figures such as Frank Pick, Herbert Read, Elizabeth Denby and Henry Morris. The vital role of Gropius’s wife Ise is also highlighted, particularly as her English‑language capabilities far exceeded his. By uncovering this wider network, the collaborative nature of his success is demonstrated. Such an approach reveals Gropius’s contributions beyond buildings to various debates in the period. These spanned subjects including standardisation, prefabrication, democratisation, the planning of high rises, the influence of commercialism, and the reform of architectural education and practice. Beyond design discourse, the broader impact of nationalism is considered, with the support Gropius received contrasted against the attacks Jewish émigrés endured.This book will appeal to those interested in the Bauhaus, interwar Britain, architectural media and emigration studies. By applying revisionist approaches and highlighting the importance of discourse beyond built forms, this book advances our knowledge of the period. The transnational focus holds significance for architectural developments in Germany, Britain and America, following Gropius’s trajectory. While concentrated primarily on the interwar period, the postwar impact of exchanges is revealed, leading up until Gropius’s death in 1969.

Walter Scott: The Critical Heritage
by John O. HaydenThe Critical Heritage gathers together a large body of critical sources on major figures in literature. Each volume presents contemporary responses to a writer's work, enabling students and researchers to read for themselves, for example, comments on early performances of Shakespeare's plays, or reactions to the first publication of Jane Austen's novels.The carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to journalism and contemporary opinion, and little published documentary material such as letters and diaries. Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included, in order to demonstrate the fluctuations in an author's reputation.Each volume contains an introduction to the writer's published works, a selected bibliography, and an index of works, authors and subjects.
Walther Model
by Robert Forczyk Adam HookThis volume details the military career and accomplishments of Walther Model, the youngest Generalfeldmarschall in the Wehrmacht in World War II and Hitler's favorite commander. His role on the Eastern Front saw him involved in most of the key battles of the second half of the warm, including the battles of Kursk Leningrad and the desperate attempt to halt the Soviet Bagration offensive. He also played a key role in the west, where his drive and defensive prowess saw his forces inflict heavy casualties on British forces at Arnhem and US forces in the Hürtgen Forest.Model was a tough and tenacious commander, particularly when on the defense, and his career rise was virtually unprecedented in German military history. Model truly made his mark late in the war, when time was already running out for the Third Reich, but time and again he was rushed from one crumbling front to the next and succeeded in temporarily restoring the situation. Above all, Model deserves recognition as one of the great defensive commanders of modern military history.

War Slang: American Fighting Words & Phrases Since the Civil War, Third Edition
by Paul DicksonFrom the homegrown "boodle" of the 19th century to current "misunderstandistan" in the Middle East, America's foremost expert on slang reveals military lingo at its most colorful, innovative, brutal, and ironic. Author Paul Dickson introduces some of the "new words and phrases born of conflict, boredom, good humor, bad food, new technology, and the pure horror of war." This newly updated reference extends to the post-9/11 world and the American military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. Recommended by William Safire in his "On Language" column of The New York Times, it features dictionary-style entries, arranged chronologically by conflict, with helpful introductions to each section and an index for convenient reference. "Paul Dickson is a national treasure who deserves a wide audience," declared Library Journal. The author of more than 50 books, Dickson has written extensively on language. This expanded edition of War Slang features new material by journalist Ben Lando, Iraq Bureau Chief for Iraq Oil Report and a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal and Time. It serves language lovers and military historians alike by adding an eloquent new dimension to our understanding of war.
War and Diplomacy in the Japanese Empire (Routledge Library Editions: Japan)
by Tatsuji TakeuchiThe author had access to many Japanese texts and private documents dealing with undercurrents of diplomacy and with constitutional history; he also had the advantage of knowing the Japanese attitude towards life and politics, the terrific force of Japan’s traditions as they are brought to bear on international relations, while at the same time possessing the necessary perspective provided by occidental training in analysis and criticism. The result is a revealing and careful exposition of the structure and psychology of the Japanese government, from the Emperor down, and the only history of Japanese diplomacy as a cause of war that has ever been written.
War with Russia: From Putin & Ukraine to Trump & Russiagate
by Stephen F. CohenAre we in a new Cold War with Russia? How does a new Cold War affect the safety and security of the United States? Does Vladimir Putin really want to destabilize the West?America is in a new Cold War with Russia even more dangerous than the one the world barely survived in the twentieth century. The Soviet Union is gone, but the two nuclear superpowers are again locked in political and military confrontations, now from Ukraine to Syria. All of this is exacerbated by Washington’s war-like demonizing of the Kremlin leadership and by Russiagate’s unprecedented allegations. US mainstream media accounts are highly selective and seriously misleading. American “disinformation,” not only Russian, is a growing peril. In War With Russia?, Stephen F. Cohen—the widely acclaimed historian of Soviet and post-Soviet Russia—gives readers a very different, dissenting narrative of this more dangerous new Cold War from its origins in the 1990s, the actual role of Vladimir Putin, and the 2014 Ukrainian crisis to Donald Trump’s election and today’s unprecedented Russiagate allegations. Cohen’s views have made him, it is said, “America’s most controversial Russia expert.” Some say this to denounce him, others to laud him as a bold, highly informed critic of US policies and the dangers they have helped to create.War With Russia? gives readers a chance to decide for themselves who is right: are we living, as Cohen argues, in a time of unprecedented perils at home and abroad?

Warren Buffett: In His Own Words (In Their Own Words)
by David AndrewsA collection of hundreds of thoughtful and inspiring quotations from &“the folksy god of American capitalism&” (Vanity Fair). For more than half a century, Warren Buffett, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, has been one of the world&’s most respected businessmen, not just because of his savvy investments and unmatched record of returns, but also because of his humility, candor, and refreshing perspective on wealth. Despite this tremendous success, the Oracle of Omaha doesn&’t feel entitled to the $89 billion net worth his abilities have earned him. Instead, he likes to say that he was born at the right place and time, and as an active philanthropist, he has already pledged to give most of his money to charity. This modesty in the face of proven talent is part of what makes Buffett as popular on Main Street as he is on Wall Street—he is one of the world&’s wealthiest men and yet he is still personable and relatable. A comprehensive guidebook to the inner workings of this business icon, Warren Buffett: In His Own Words provides insight into his thoughts on investing, Wall Street, business, politics, taxes, life lessons, and more. This collection of quotations draws from decades of interviews, editorials, and annual shareholder reports, amassing a comprehensive outline of how Buffett believes a good business is run and a good life is led. It&’s advice that Buffett has successfully adhered to throughout his 88 years, and it&’s now available in Warren Buffett: In His Own Words.
