Anglo American Relations in the Twentieth Century: of Friendship, Conflict and the Rise and Decline of ...
Alan Dobson

Routledge, 1995

Since the beginning of this century, Britain and the United States have succeeded in co-operating in every major crises from the First World War to the Gulf War. And while no other superpowers in history have managed to avoid hostility, it would be misleading to assume that there have not been difficult times. Anglo-American Relations in the Twentieth Century investigates the relationship between Britain and the United States in detail. ...

Anglo-American Interplay in Recent Drama
Ruby Cohn

Cambridge University Press, 2006

The notion of a contemporary cross-cultural exchange within the medium of theater is here imposed on a dozen contemporary Anglo-American dramatists: Alan Ayckbourn and Neil Simon, Edward Bond and Sam Shepard, David Mamet and Harold Pinter, Caryl Churchill and Maria Irene Fornès, David Hare and David Rabe, Christopher Hampton and Richard Nelson. In each pairing, Ruby Cohn unites a British with an American playwright, exploring similarities that ...

Quigley Carroll

G. S. G. & Associates, Incorporated, 1981

THIS BOOK IS THE GRANDADDY OF THEM ALL
The book gets five stars, not for holding one's interest nor its readability, but rather because it not only devolves the origins of the hidden criminal elements that were soon to control the US government, but more importantly, it devolves the tactics used to achieve this. The relevance of the book lies not in England, but with the exporting of their ideas and methods to the US. I agree that ...

The Anglo-American Legal Heritage: Introductory Materials

Daniel R. Coquillette

Carolina Academic Pr, 2004

Brilliant history of the Anglo-American legal tradition
I was a student in Professor Coquillette's English Legal History course last year, and we used his book as the single source for our study. The book is largely a collection of a vast array of original sources, carefully explained and placed in historical context by Professor Coquillette. The book is like his lectures: clear, concise and fun. After struggling through the first year of law ...

Geography & Geographers: Anglo-American Human Geography since 1945

1 review
R. J. Johnston, J. D. Sidaway

A Hodder Arnold Publication, 2004

A required text
My graduate class raced through this text, successfully I guess. As a GIS researcher, I found that the concerns surrounding the interface of GIS and human geography were handled in a biased way. In this I mean that the one chapter that deals with the techniques of human geography did a marginal job discussing GIS as just another in a line of positivist technical skills, rather than a true path ...

Subject Matter: Technology, the Body, and Science on the Anglo-American Frontier, 1500-1676
Joyce E. Chaplin

Harvard University Press, 2003

With this sweeping reinterpretation of early cultural encounters between the English and American natives, Joyce E. Chaplin thoroughly alters our historical view of the origins of English presumptions of racial superiority, and of the role science and technology played in shaping these notions. By placing the history of science and medicine at the very center of the story of early English colonization, Chaplin shows how contemporary European ...

Maxwell's Handbook for AACR2
Of the 6 titles I have purchased on this subject, this is the best. It was the most comprehensive (I wanted further explanation on less discussed subjects). The examples were okay although still representative of an academic library for the most part. I am still looking for the manual directed towards K-12 libraries. Until then, this one works.

Anglo-American Postmodernity: Philosophical Perspectives on Science, Religion, and Ethics

2 reviews
Nancey Murphy

Westview Press, 1997

Brilliant
Don't be deceived, this is not merely an introductory textbook, it is genuinely creative philosophy! This small book has been one of the most influential texts in my development as a thinker. Every sentence is carefully phrased and deserves to be read more than once. Murphy's clarity should not be mistaken for any lack of sophistication! I cannot recommend this book highly enough - a close ...

American Library Association, 2005

for hardcore librarians
Although many libraries have gone digital, this along with the full version will list every rule you'll need to know in the aspect of cataloguing. It could come in handy with tricky listings and such(this was my textbook requirement for a library tech. course).

Form and Substance in Anglo-American Law: A Comparative Study in Legal Reasoning, Legal Theory, and Legal ...
P. S. Atiyah, Robert S. Summers

Oxford University Press, USA, 1991

This book has a completely original theme, or set of themes. It offers first a new way of analyzing styles of legal reasoning--between more "formal" and more "substantive" styles--that is a major contribution to jurisprudence in its own right. The authors then go on to demonstrate in detail the differences in legal reasoning--and in the legal systems as a whole--between England and America, and suggest that the English is a much more "formal" ...

Adorno and "a Writing of the Ruins": Essays on Modern Aesthetics and Anglo-American Literature and Culture
James Martin Harding

State University of New York Press, 1997

Arguing that postmodernism has so shifted current critical paradigms that Adorno's work can best be assessed in terms of its relevance in specific localized contexts, this book pursues a course that preserves Adorno's opposition to hegemonic programs but that is also wary of Adorno's own (negative) penchant for totalizing concepts. Unlike recent works which attempt to synthesize Adorno's writings into a comprehensive system that then becomes ...
