Beschreibung

In "Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer," G. Moxley Sorrel offers an intimate and personal account of his experiences during the American Civil War as a member of General James Longstreet's staff. This memoir, written in a reflective and engaging prose style, immerses readers in the strategic corridors of war while illustrating the complexities and emotional toll of military life. Sorrel's narrative is both a historical document and a literary artifact that provides insight into the Southern perspective of the conflict, highlighting the moral ambiguities faced by soldiers and leaders alike in a vividly drawn antebellum South. G. Moxley Sorrel was not only a soldier but a keen observer of the human experience, serving close to pivotal figures in the Confederate army. His position on Longstreet's staff afforded him a unique vantage point to witness the unfolding events of the war, shaping his reflections into a compelling narrative that balances loyalty, duty, and the harsh realities of battlefield life. Sorrel's subsequent career as a prominent civil engineer further informs his structured approach to presenting historical events, emphasizing the importance of memory in shaping national identity. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Civil War history, military strategy, or personal narratives of conflict. Sorrel's eloquent prose and candid reflections provide a rich understanding of a tumultuous era, making "Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer" an essential addition to both scholarly collections and personal libraries.

    What has changed in the workplace? Everything.The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place. Automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have accelerated, and perhaps as much as one third of the world’s permanent workforce will soon become remote. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.Hobsbawm draws on her extensive networks in business, academia, and entrepreneurship across  generations to offer new ideas about how to handle hybrid working, as well as provides deep insight into how the way we work is being transformed by larger issues such as community, hierarchy, bias, identity, and security. The Nowhere Office describes a unique moment in the history of work which, if understood and handled correctly, can provide a springboard for the biggest transformational change in the workplace for a century: something better, more meaningful, and more workable for everyone.

    'A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended.' Tim Tate, author of Hitler's British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold
    'A captivating page-turner ...' Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence
    
    
    Ambassador's daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted.
    
    Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitler's 'New Germany', befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo.
    
    An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallace's disastrous 1948 presidential campaign.
    
    Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard.
    
    Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitor's Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodd's life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.

    No One to Meet - Imitation and...

    The literary establishment tends to regard Bob Dylan as an intriguing, if baffling, outsider. That changed overnight when Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, challenging us to think of him as an integral part of our national and international literary heritage. No One to Meet places Dylan the artist within a long tradition of literary production and offers an innovative way of understanding his unique, and often controversial, methods of composition. 
     
     
     
    In lucid prose, Raphael Falco demonstrates the similarity between what Renaissance writers called imitatio and the way Dylan borrows, digests, and transforms traditional songs. Although Dylan's lyrical postures might suggest a post-Romantic, "avant-garde" consciousness, No One to Meet shows that Dylan's creative process borrows from and expands the methods used by classical and Renaissance authors. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on numerous examples, including Dylan's previously unseen manuscript excerpts and archival materials, Falco illuminates how the ancient process of poetic imitation, handed down from Greco-Roman antiquity, allows us to make sense of Dylan's musical and lyrical technique. By placing Dylan firmly in the context of an age-old poetic practice, No One to Meet deepens our appreciation of Dylan's songs and allows us to celebrate him as what he truly is: a great writer.
