Beschreibung

In "A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne," George Wither presents a captivating amalgamation of poetry and visual art that reflects the emblematic tradition of the early 17th century. This work features a series of emblems—symbolic illustrations accompanied by poetic commentary—that explore themes of morality, virtue, and the human experience. Wither's literary style is characterized by its clarity and moral undertone, deftly intertwining classical allusions and contemporary relevance, thus situating the text within the broader context of Renaissance humanism and its fascination with allegory. The emblems serve not only as aesthetic objects but also as moral treatises, encouraging readers to introspect on the ethical implications of their actions amidst the complexities of life. George Wither, an English poet and a significant figure in the realm of Renaissance literature, was influenced by the tumultuous socio-political climate of the time, including the English Civil War. His experiences as a soldier and a satirist enriched his understanding of human nature and morality, infusing his work with a fervent desire to provoke contemplation among his readers. Wither's own struggles for political and religious reform often found resonance within his emblemes, establishing him as a voice of advocacy for virtue and justice. Readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of emblematic literature will find great value in Wither's collection. Each emblem invites contemplation and reflection, proving relevant even in today's ethical landscape. Rich with artistic beauty and profound insights, "A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne" stands as a testament to Wither's literary prowess and enduring relevance, making it essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of Renaissance literature alike.

    Women around the world do extremely well when it comes to their education. They graduate at higher rates than men and have higher average GPAs. But then a strange thing happens: upon entering the workforce, they immediately lose their advantage. When the first promotions come around, the slide continues. For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 81 women overall and 77 women of color get promoted. 
     
     
     
    This is what McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez call "the broken rung," and its effects compound throughout women's careers. In this groundbreaking book, the authors reveal the problem's underlying cause: while about half of a person's lifetime earnings come from education and half from work experience, men get more value from their experience than women do. It is also here, in one's work experience, that the solution lies: women need to build their "experience capital" to level the playing field and maximize their earning potential. 
     
     
     
    The book combines over a decade of research, personal conversations with more than fifty remarkable leaders, and the authors' own rich experiences as leaders at McKinsey. They weave data on the potential pitfalls with inspiring and instructive stories of women who have climbed over the broken rung using strategies that increased their experience capital.

    At the height of the Greek Civil War in 1948, thirty-eight thousand children were evacuated from their homes in the mountains of northern Greece. The Greek Communist Party relocated half of them to orphanages in Eastern Europe, while their adversaries in the national government placed the rest in children’s homes elsewhere in Greece. A point of contention during the Cold War, this controversial episode continues to fuel tensions between Greeks and Macedonians and within Greek society itself. Loring M. Danforth and Riki Van Boeschoten present here for the first time a comprehensive study of the two evacuation programs and the lives of the children they forever transformed. Marshalling archival records, oral histories, and ethnographic fieldwork, the authors analyze the evacuation process, the political conflict surrounding it, the children’s upbringing, and their fates as adults cut off from their parents and their homeland. They also give voice to seven refugee children who poignantly recount their childhood experiences and heroic efforts to construct new lives in diaspora communities throughout the world. A much-needed corrective to previous historical accounts, Children of the Greek Civil War is also a searching examination of the enduring effects of displacement on the lives of refugee children.

    One of the most important and memorable events of the United States’ westward push across the frontier came with the discovery of gold in the lands that became California in January 1848. Located thousands of miles away from the country’s power centers on the east coast at the time, the announcement came a month before the Mexican-American War had ended, and among the very few Americans that were near the region at the time, many of them were Army soldiers who were participating in the war and garrisoned there. San Francisco was still best known for being a Spanish military and missionary outpost during the colonial era, and only a few hundred called it home. Mexico’s independence, and its possession of those lands, had come only a generation earlier. 
    The flow of Chinese immigrants increased dramatically in 1852, sparked in large part by a crop failure in southern China that caused the custom houses in San Francisco to swell with 20,026 Chinese arrivals. Even more Chinese came as news reached China about the apparent ease of mining in California. By the end of the decade, ⅕ of the population of the Southern Mines consisted of Chinese miners. Chinese miners would become known as the most industrious and tireless of the miners, finding gold in claims that previous owners had thought depleted and persisting in mining an area far longer than others who eventually left the fields altogether. 
    In many ways, this represented the start of an influx of immigrants coming from Asia to the United States, kicking off an often turbulent relationship and history that would lead to alienation, conflicts, immigration quotas, and more. This book looks at that history from the start, and how it affected those who came from Asia in the 19th century.
