The Respectability of Late Victorian Workers
This study of the working classes of York in the late Victorian period places respectability at the heart of the interpretation of working-class culture, drawing attention to its distinctive role within working-class daily life while eschewing a class-based analysis. Through an investigation of workers’ actions, choice-making and personal testimony, and using a wide range of textual and non-textual sources, a picture is produced of what it meant to be respectable in working-class communities and respectability’s role in personal and community identity formation. Not only is the importance of gender-based notions of the male breadwinner and female homemaker explored, but fresh light is ca...

Patterns of Philanthropy
Bristol in the 19th century was characterized by the development of voluntary organizations, which set out to address problems and promote good. This text is a study of the debate over control of civic charities during this era of municipal reform.
Race, Racism and Psychology
Topics with racial implications have been hotly debated in the psychological literature for most of this century and are often in the news. Graham Richards takes a historical look at how the concepts of "race" and "racism" emerged within the discipline and charts the underlying premises of some famous studies in their social and political contexts. No-one is allowed to be objective in this arena, as opponents will always argue that they are not. This account is bound therefore to be controversial and excite interest whether or not readers agree with Richards' stance.
Rebel Crossings
In a feat of extraordinary archival research Sheila Rowbotham uncovers six little-known women and men whose lives were both dramatic and startlingly radical. Rowbotham tells a story that moves from Bristol, Belfast and Edinburgh to Massachusetts and the wildernesses of California, showing how rebellious ideas were formed and travelled across the Atlantic. Rebel Crossings offers fascinating perspectives on the historical interaction of feminism, socialism, anarchism and on the incipient consciousness of a new sense of self, so vital for women seeking emancipation. Their influences ranged from Unitarianism, High Church Anglicanism, and esoteric spirituality through to Walt Whitman, William Morris, Edward Carpenter, Eleanor Marx, Peter Kropotkin, Benjamin Tucker, and Max Stirner. In differing ways they sought to combine the creation of a co-operative society with personal freedom, enhanced perception and loving friendships, experimenting with free love, rational dress, health diets and deep breathing. A work of significant originality in terms of historical scholarship, this book also speaks to the dilemmas of our own times.
Elektrische Maschinen und Antriebssysteme
Die Idee zu diesem Handbuch entstand vor ein paar Jahren in einem Gespräch, das ich mit dem Cheflektor des Verlags Vieweg, Dipl.-Ing. Ewald Schmitt führte. Damals äußerte ich den Wunsch, ein Handbuch über Elektrische Maschinen und Antriebe schreiben zu wollen, das als komprimiertes Kompendium auch alle notwendigen Inhalte, wie z.B. spezielle Kapitel der Mathematik, Elektrotechnik, Werkstoffe, Meßtechnik, Leistungselektronik, Regelungstechnik u.a. beinhalten sollte. Während meiner beruflichen Laufbahn hatte ich ein solches Buch beim Studium oder bei Auseinandersetzungen mit Problemen der elektrischen Maschinen vermißt. Der Verlag Vieweg schlug mir indes ein wesentlich komplexeres Proj...
Theatre and Autocracy in the Ancient World
Why did ancient autocrats patronise theatre? How could ancient theatre – rightly supposed to be an artform that developed and flourished under democracy – serve their needs? Plato claimed that poets of tragic drama "drag states into tyranny and democracy". The word order is very deliberate: he goes on to say that tragic poets are honoured "especially by the tyrants, and secondly by the democracies" (Republic 568c). For more than forty years scholars have explored the political, ideological, structural and economic links between democracy and theatre in ancient Greece. By contrast, the links between autocracy and theatre are virtually ignored, despite the fact that for the first 200 years...
