Beschreibung

In "Authors and Their Public in Ancient Times," George Haven Putnam delves into the intricate dynamics between writers and their audiences throughout antiquity. This scholarly work blends historical analysis with literary critique, illuminating the nuanced relationships that characterized the production and reception of literary works in ancient societies. Putnam employs a clear and engaging prose style, incorporating a wealth of primary sources to contextualize the authors' lives and the societal frameworks that shaped their narratives. His exploration ranges from the oratory of ancient Greece to the epistolary traditions of Rome, providing a comprehensive overview of how authors navigated their public personas and the implications of patronage, censorship, and acclaim in their careers. George Haven Putnam, a noted American publisher and literary historian of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was driven by a profound fascination with the historical context of literary works. His background in publishing equipped him with unique insights into the publishing industry and the author's professional journey, making his perspectives all the more valuable. Putnam's academic voyage was steeped in the classics, which undoubtedly informed his understanding of the ancient literary landscape and the broad appeal of its authors. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in literary history, classical studies, or the evolution of authorial identity. Putnam's meticulous research and compelling narrative reveal the timeless complexities of the author-public relationship, making it a pivotal resource for scholars, students, and literary enthusiasts alike.

    Many doctors in Germany were convinced that they were the chosen people to create a healthy, racially pure Volkskörper (body of people) and by doing so, establish a racial utopia. As strong supporters of National Socialism, they welcomed the founding of the Third Reich. After Hitler acceded to power, German physicians joined the SS in particular. During the twelve years of the Nazi era, seven percent of German doctors became members of the SS. The average membership of the population was only 0.6 percent. Moreover, doctors were also overrepresented as a profession, with teachers consisting of less than half a percent and musicians only three percent. Only lawyers had a larger share in the SS than doctors. 
    The average income of German doctors increased extremely after 1933, even exceeding the income of lawyers. The Nazi doctors of the human experiments also joined the SS in large numbers. German doctors were far more reluctant to join the NSDAP than the SS. Before 1933, only seven percent of all German doctors joined the NSDAP (Nazi party). They joined the party when it seemed opportune to do so, in 1933, and particularly in 1937. In 1933, physicians made up almost a quarter of all academic professionals in the NSDAP. Most doctors joined the NSDAP in 1937, with a membership rate of 43 percent of the total profession. German physicians sat on the fence during the first years of the Nazi era, insecure about the effects of the new regime on their profession. By 1937, the Third Reich had won the trust of several reasons. The NSDAP had solved the economic crisis and had reorganized the medical profession. Moreover, the regime had solved “the Jewish question” in the medical sector.

    Secret societies exist for one purpose – creating power, maintaining power and growing power. In-order to do so they have to control you and me. They have to manipulate markets, media, government and religion. This is how they do it.

    Communication is not always through sound or language. Much can be said with gestures and movement of eyes. In fact, more often than not, it is the body language that 'says' more than words. Now discover all the finer points and the nuances of body language in this masterly work. How does a thumb gesture display dominance, superiority and aggression? How does dilation of eyes send a romantic signal? What does a sideways glance indicate? Given these incredible insights, the book can prove to be of immense use for professionals like advocates, doctors, policemen, judges, salesmen, politicians, judges, executives, bureaucrats and customers etc - in short, people who are essentially in public dealing. But then, it is for all, a true guide for analysing behaviour and attitudes. #v&spublishers

    Ways of Attending - How our...

    Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
    Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
    Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
    Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).
