This book explains the Saudi decision to launch a direct military intervention in Yemen in 2015 by comparing it with the monarchy’s response to Egyptian intervention into Yemen in 1962. It does so through the lens of domestic politics by tracing the monarchy’s response to the opposition in both time periods, and how this was informed by the different regional contexts of the 1960s and the 2011 Arab Spring. The study argues that Saudi Arabia enhanced its own institutions, including a pan-Islamic ideological justification to rule, in response to aggression from Egypt and its revolutionary pan-Arab ideology. This contributed to a relatively cautious Saudi foreign policy in response to regional threats from Arab nationalism, along with a strategy of co-optation within the kingdom. In contrast, the non-ideological threat embodied in the Arab Spring posed a more existential danger to Saudi legitimacy. The new crown prince manipulated the regime’s sense of anxiety from this to consolidate power through further scapegoating of the Shi’a minority, exacerbated tensions with foreign rivals, and, most blatantly, the 2015 intervention in Yemen. Comparing Saudi foreign policy changes from the Arab nationalist period to the post-Arab Spring period, this volume is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in political science, history, international relations and Middle East politics.

Published in 1893 "A WOMAN''S PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE" is the outcome of thirty-five years of thought, study, and experience. It is not a book for babes, nor possibly for persons of a darkened and prurient mind; but it is believed that there is, both in this country and elsewhere, a large and growing class of cultivated and thoughtful people, who see in the relations between men and women, the elementary principle of all civil order, the keynote of all social progress, and who will welcome a thoughtful and dispassionate discussion of some of those vexed questions of right and priority, which are forcing themselves into every field of thought and labor in Christendom. Such a discussion, if it be at all thorough, must necessarily include some topics which it is difficult to present without offence; but the author has at least conscientiously endeavored to do justice to the truth, without disregarding those principles of delicacy which are rightly recognized as the safeguards of society. The measure of her success, it must be left for the public to decide.

The book describes how to formally evaluate incident reporting systems to determine whether they meet these requirements.

« L’artiste non seulement porte en soi l’humanité, mais il en reproduit l’histoire dans la création de son œuvre : d’abord du trouble, une vue générale, les aspirations, l’éblouissement, tout est mêlé (époque barbare) ; puis l’analyse, le doute, la méthode, la disposition des parties (l’ère scientifique) ; enfin, il revient à la synthèse première, plus élargie dans l’exécution. Si l’humanité doit se développer à la manière d’une œuvre, conçue par la Providence, comme elle est loin encore, miséricorde ! de cette troisième phase. » (Gustave Flaubert) Ce livre présente les pensées et les réflexions de Gustave Flaubert, l’un des plus grands écrivains français.

Aus dem Vorwort: ›Digital und nachhaltig sind zwei Wörter, die im 21. Jahrhundert in aller Munde sind. Sie kennzeichnen unser Jahrhundert und beeinflussen unsere Lebenseinstellung, unsere Bilder und Gedanken. Sie prägen folglich auch unsere Kunstwerke. Aus diesem Grunde trägt mein dritter Lyrikband den Titel »digital – nachhaltig«.‹ Leseprobe: Schlagartige Beschränkung auf wenig Raum; in meinen Gedanken reise ich nun um die Welt, schont immerhin die Umwelt. Erzwungener Beitrag aller für mehr Nachhaltigkeit. Überfahren werden dabei auch weniger Schneckenhäuser. In ein Schneckenhaus verwandelt sich mein Haus, ist nicht nur Haus, auch zugleich Arbeitsplatz, für die Kinder gar Schule und Spielplatz, Kino, Konzertsaal und Theater an einem Platz; hoffentlich endet es nicht als Schlachthaus!

Selected from the Caroline F. Schimmel Collectionof Women in the American Wilderness, these one hundred and forty-five books, photographs, manuscripts, and memorabilia by one hundred and one women and one man, dating from 1682 to 2015, reflect the sweep of women''s experiences in the American wilderness. They range from Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium (1705), Maria Sibylla Merian''s monumental study of the flora and fauna of Surinam, hand-printed and probably hand-colored by her, to sharpshooter and entertainer Annie Oakley''s travel trunk and gloves, and a souvenir envelope with a one-inch red heart through which she shot from a distance of twenty feet. This is the revised second edition of the full-color catalogue that documents an exhibition of the same name.

This book provides a state-of-the-art survey of intonation and prosodic structure. Taking a phonological perspective, it shows how morpho-syntactic constituents are mapped to prosodic constituents according to well-formedness conditions. Using a tone-sequence model of intonation, it explores individual tones and how they combine, and discusses how information structure affects intonation in several ways, showing tones and melodies to be ''meaningful'' in that they add a pragmatic component to what is being said. The author also shows how despite a superficial similarity, languages differ in how their tonal patterns arise from tone concatenation. Lexical tones, stress, phrase tones, and boundary tones are assigned differently in different languages, resulting in great variation in intonational grammar, both at the lexical and sentential level. The last chapter is dedicated to experimental studies of how we process prosody. The book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in linguistics, and particularly in phonological theory.
