Angelica: For Love and Country in a Time of Revolution
by Molly BeerA women-centric view of revolution through the life of Angelica Schuyler Church, Alexander Hamilton’s influential sister-in-law. Few women of the American Revolution have come through 250 years of US history with such clarity and color as Angelica Schuyler Church. She was Alexander Hamilton’s “saucy” sister-in-law, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson’s “charming coterie” of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed. A woman of great influence in a time of influential women (Catherine the Great and Marie-Antoinette were contemporaries), Angelica was at the red-hot center of American history at its birth: in Boston, when General Burgoyne surrendered to the revolutionaries; in Newport, receiving French troops under the command of her soon-to-be dear friend Marquis de Lafayette; in Yorktown, just after the decisive battle; in Paris and London, helping to determine the standing of the new nation on the world stage. She was born as Engeltje, a Dutch-speaking, slave-owning colonial girl who witnessed the Stamp Act riots in the Royal British Province of New York. She came of age under English rule as Angelica, the eldest daughter of the most important family on the northern part of Hudson’s River, raised to be a domestic diplomat responsible for hosting indigenous chiefs and enemy British generals at dinner. She was Madame Church, wife of a privateer turned merchant banker, whose London house was a refuge for veterans of the American war fleeing the guillotine in France. Across nationalities, languages, and cultures, across the divides of war, grievance, and geography, Angelica wove a web of soft-power connections that spanned the War for Independence, the post-war years of tenuous peace, and the turbulent politics and rival ideologies that threatened to tear apart the nascent United States In this enthralling and revealing woman’s-eye view of a revolutionary era, Molly Beer breathes vibrant new life into a period usually dominated by masculine themes and often dulled by familiarity. In telling Angelica’s story, she illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends, including the making of a new nation.

Ammantata da un umile cappuccio e da un semplice abito da contadina, Fiona emerge dalla nebbia dell'isola per affrontare Alec Macpherson, il leggendario capo guerriero delle Highlands. L'amore come scudo... Alec ha servito re James con la sua spada. Ora, però, darebbe la sua stessa anima per proteggere questa ragazza incantevole dall'intricata rete di intrighi che la minaccia. Fiona ha bisogno non solo di protezione, ma anche dell'amore di Alec, che glielo concede senza esitazione. Tuttavia, gli avversari del re stanno manovrando nell'ombra, spingendo Fiona verso una pericolosa trappola. I ricordi sepolti della giovane nascondono non solo il volto dell'assassino di sua madre, ma anche un segreto così potente da scuotere le fondamenta del trono scozzese. Una battaglia di cuori e d'onore... In un avvincente scontro tra la forza impetuosa delle Highlands e le spietate ambizioni di un nemico, Alec e Fiona devono attraversare sangue e guerra per determinare chi sarà il vincitore. Sarà la potenza di un esercito a prevalere o le inflessibili passioni che legano due amanti? Prima che tutto finisca, le stelle si allineeranno in un racconto epico, dove l'amore si rivelerà una forza formidabile quanto qualsiasi legione armata...

Anger and Change in Korean American Literature (American Literature Readings in the 21st Century)
by Brian WillemsThis book illustrates how Korean American novels and poetry use anger to enact change, foregrounding the various ways it can pinpoint injustice and suggest alternatives. Experiences of the "forgotten" Korean War, Korean military-mediated immigration to the US in the twentieth century, and the role of Korean Americans in some of the largest upheavals in American history all inform a specific relation to anger and both its expression and use in Korean American literature. Through various texts comprised of both poetry and prose from authors including Steph Cha, Cathy Park Hong, Eugene Lim, and Yongsoo Park, Willems highlights how anger is seen to function in some contexts as a positive fulcrum for change.
Anger, Fear, Domination: Dark Passions and the Power of Political Speech
by William A. GalstonA renowned political theorist offers a road map to the dark forces that threaten democracy Liberalism orients itself around the idea of self-interest tempered by reason, with the addition of civically useful emotions such as patriotism, self-sacrifice, and empathy. But the politics dominating much of the world shows that these ideals are not enough. William A. Galston argues that the defense of liberal democracy requires understanding the dark forces whose impact on political life liberal democratic institutions seek to mute: the emotions of fear, humiliation, anger, resentment, and hatred, and the drive to dominate. In hard or threatening times, it is these dark passions that most reliably persuade people and move them to action—whether voting or violence. Throughout the democratic world, these institutional defenses are now being tested by a new generation of demagogues. With a keen awareness of the stakes, Galston explains why countering this dangerous development requires not only more responsive public policies but persuasive rhetoric and a realistic conception of political psychology—one that is free of the illusion that reason or affirmative sentiments such as empathy, solidarity, and love can reliably dominate public affairs.

Angewandte Sicherheitskultur in Hochzuverlässigkeitsorganisationen: Wie Unternehmen Standards für sicheres Verhalten erfolgreich implementieren
by Bert Poeten Wolfram Debus Matthias AleffSicherheit ist in Hochzuverlässigkeitsorganisationen unabdingbar. Ein wesentlicher Beitrag des Personals zur Sicherheit besteht darin, Fehler möglichst zu vermeiden. Aber Menschen machen Fehler. Es muss daher das Ziel sein, Fehler zu minimieren und einen adäquaten Umgang mit Fehlern zu praktizieren. Der erste Schritt dazu ist, die Verhaltensweisen zu definieren, die vom Personal erwartet werden. Durch standardisiertes sicheres Verhalten kann die Fehlerquote signifikant verringert und so die Sicherheitskultur in Unternehmen deutlich verbessert werden. Dieses Buch beleuchtet - zunächst am Beispiel der Kernenergie -, welche Verhaltensweisen zur Erhöhung der Sicherheitskultur beitragen, wie man diese Verhaltensstandards an andere Branchen anpasst und erfolgreich in Unternehmen implementiert. Erfahrene Praktiker aus Luftfahrt, Polizei, Gesundheitswesen und Energieversorgung teilen eigene Erfahrungen und wertvolle Praxisbeispiele.

Angle-Resolved Photoemission Study of Kagome Superconductors AV3Sb5 (Springer Theses)
by Takemi KatoThis book presents high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments on kagome superconductors KV3Sb5, RbV3Sb5, and CsV3Sb5—an ideal material family for studying rich physical phenomena originating from the geometric structure of kagome lattice—with the aim of elucidating the electronic structure and the origin of charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity. The book begins with an introduction to kagome superconductors, followed by a description of ARPES which is the main tool used in the presented work in this book. The part of the experimental results consists of three chapters: The first chapter describes observation of low-energy excitations, Fermi-surface and momentum-dependent CDW gap by high-resolution ARPES on CsV3Sb5 and KV3Sb5; the second chapter shows evolution of electronic states upon alkali-metal dosing and isovalent substitution, and discusses their relation to modulation of physical properties; the other chapter provides the result of micro-ARPES on KV3Sb5, RbV3Sb5, and CsV3Sb5, and demonstrates the surface-termination- and alkali-metal-dependent three dimensional CDW character.
Anglican Confirmation 1945–2000: From ‘The Sacramental Principle’ to ‘The Challenge of Baptismal Unity’ (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Phillip ToveyThe focus of this book is the theology, liturgy and practice of Anglican Confirmation from 1945 to 2000. It is the third book in a series on Anglican Confirmation. The first chapters look at confirmation on a global and ecumenical level. How have questions about the place and performance of confirmation changed? Then there is a series of case studies from North America, Europe and the wider world. Two chapters are on the theology and practice of the Church of England. Attention is given to liturgical reform, theological discussion and practice, including statistics. In some chapters there are case studies of individual dioceses or bishops to give snapshots of theology in action. This book uses innovative visualization techniques to present data and uses textual network analysis to map the interrelationships of provinces at a liturgical level. The ecumenical ‘baptismal unity’ agenda from Vatican 2 and the World Council of Churches underlies the theological critique. This will be of great value to those in liturgical studies, church history, Anglican studies and to all bishops and clergy involved in confirmation.

She’s alive!Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the formerly-drowned girl. She’s nearly feral and doesn’t remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory.With a little help from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man named Victor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld.So how did she get here? And why are so many people chasing her, including Geoff, the giant croissant-eating devil dog of the North?Poor Things meets Bride of Frankenstein in Anima Rising, Christopher Moore’s most ingenious (and probably most hilarious) novel yet.

Animal Conservation Ethics and the Population Problem: A Habilitation on Rehabilitation (The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series)
by Leif Brostrom DeVaneyIn this book, Leif DeVaney brings the traditional philosophical branches of metaphysics and ethics to bear on conservation biology. While many previous attempts at asking and answering ethical questions related to conservation and other environmentally relevant activities exist, few such attempts have engaged adequately with the &“rock bottom&” approach of metaphysics. Through this metaphysically realistic lens, the ontologicalstatus of the population (as well as other ecological &“wholes&”) is challenged. DeVaney argues that individual nonhuman animals are found to have interests that parallel human interests. These include the biotic goals of survival and reproduction, as well as freedom from undue pain and suffering. From an ethical standpoint, the conclusion differs drastically from the dominant consequentialist contention that the good of some can be sacrificed for the supposed greater good of the many. DeVaney initiates the establishment of the subdiscipline of conservation metaphysics, which naturally leads to a theoretically grounded ethic.
