Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Robert Darnton introduces us to the shadowy world of pirate publishers, garret scribblers, under-the-cloak book peddlers, smugglers, and police spies that composed the literary underground of the Enlightenment. By drawing on an ingenious selection of previously hidden sources, he reveals for the first time the fascinating story of this eighteenth-century counterculture that has virtually disappeared from history.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'A History of the Jewish People' presents a total vision of Jewish experiences and achievements--religious, political, social, and economic--in both the land of Israel and the diaspora throughout the ages. It has been acclaimed as the most comprehensive and penetrating work yet to have appeared in its field.Six distinguished scholars at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, have set forth here for the first time the authentic story of the Jewish past that is relevant to the Jewish present. Special attention is paid to the significant historical sources that have come to light in the past decades, to the findings of archaeological research, and to source materials in Jewish studies such as talmudic literature--sources that have too often been ignored by historians.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - When he was five and a half years old, Paul Bissex wrote and posted this sign over his workbench: DO NAT DSTRB GNYS AT WRK. The work from which this genius refused to be disturbed was the work typical of all children, namely, the task of learning how to write and read. In GNYS AT WRK, Glenda Bissexgoes far beyond the chronicle of her son s accomplishment to provide the first in depth case study of a child s confrontation with written language, rich in revelations about the nature and processes of the mind. Paul begins by writing notes in a system of his own invention like IEAVGAWNTOOTHESTOR for I have gone to the store and this systembecomes more elaborate as he goes on to create stories, games and signs. Eventually, the system merges with conventional written English as Paul learns to separate words and to associate letters not with their names but with sets of possible sounds. Glenda Bissex shows how the evolution of Paul's writing ability is closely intertwined with his reading development in Paul s own words, once you can write a word you can read it. She also makes an intriguing comparison between Paul s schoolwork and his endeavors at home, and explores the influence of his personal interests and world view on his facility with words. Her study is a unique, detailed account of the genius that is, quite simply, the human capacity for language.
