ASIN: 0743471369 |
Book Description
The Burning Legion has been defeated, and eastern regions of Kalimdor are now shared by two nations: the orcs of Durotar, led by their noble Warchief, Thrall; and the humans of Theramore, led by one of the most powerful mages alive -- Lady Jaina Proudmoore.
But the tentative peace between orcs and humans is suddenly crumbling. Random attacks against Durotar's holdings suggest that the humans have renewed their aggression toward the orcs. Now Jaina and Thrall must avert disaster before old hatreds are rekindled -- and Kalimdor is plunged into another devastating war.
Jaina's search to uncover the truth behind the attacks leads her to a shocking revelation. Her encounter with a legendary, long-lost wizard will challenge everything that she believes and illuminate the secret history of the world of...

Breaking the Cycles of Hatred: Memory, Law, and Repair
Martha Minow Manufacturer: Princeton University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0691096635 |
Book Description
Violence so often begets violence. Victims respond with revenge only to inspire seemingly endless cycles of retaliation. Conflicts between nations, between ethnic groups, between strangers, and between family members differ in so many ways and yet often share this dynamic. In this powerful and timely book Martha Minow and others ask: What explains these cycles and what can break them? What lessons can we draw from one form of violence that might be relevant to other forms? Can legal responses to violence provide accountability but avoid escalating vengeance? If so, what kinds of legal institutions and practices can make a difference? What kinds risk failure?
Breaking the Cycles of Hatred represents a unique blend of political and legal theory, one that focuses on the double-edged role of memory in fueling cycles of hatred and maintaining justice and personal integrity. Its centerpiece comprises three penetrating essays by Minow. She argues that innovative legal institutions and practices, such as truth commissions and civil damage actions against groups that sponsor hate, often work better than more conventional criminal proceedings and sanctions. Minow also calls for more sustained attention to the underlying dynamics of violence, the connections between intergroup and intrafamily violence, and the wide range of possible responses to violence beyond criminalization.
A vibrant set of freestanding responses from experts in political theory, psychology, history, and law examines past and potential avenues for breaking cycles of violence and for deepening our capacity to avoid becoming what we hate. The topics include hate crimes and hate-crimes legislation, child sexual abuse and the statute of limitations, and the American kidnapping and internment of Japanese Latin Americans during World War II. Commissioned by Nancy Rosenblum, the essays are by Ross E. Cheit, Marc Galanter, Fredrick C. Harris, Judith Lewis Herman, Carey Jaros, Frederick M. Lawrence, Austin Sarat, Ayelet Shachar, Eric K. Yamamoto, and Iris Marion Young.

Die Verfahren der Textbildung in J.R.R. Tolkiens The Hobbit (European university studies. Series XIV, Anglo-Saxon language and literature)

The Unknown Hobbit.......2002-02-18
To make The Hobbit conform to The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's second edition of 1951 had to make some minor modifications, which nevertheless completely changed part of the story (the finding of the ring). Without any doubt, The Hobbit now forms part of the Ring-tale, but our purpose of understanding how the text was created is achieved mainly by setting the trilogy aside. The Hobbit existed for more than fifteen years as an independent book, a tale with a clear beginning and a similarly clear end, demanding no sequel whatsoever. The fact that there is no study yet which discusses the original Hobbit without taking The Lord of the Rings into consideration, inclined the present author to attempt such a survey. This narrowing of the focus leads to results somewhat different from those achieved in former discussions of the text. The interpretation of the text is (for the story-line) based on the first (1937) edition of The Hobbit. The revised version of the third (1966) edition, which is now in print, is also evaluated in detail.
It is difficult to classify the genre of The Hobbit; the book cannot be described as an 'epic', but on the other hand it also seems to resist the label 'Märchen' because of its considerable length. The two-dimensional structure, which Max Lüthi points out as a typical aspect of the 'Märchen', can still be found in The Hobbit ("There and Back Again"). The transition from the realistic to the fantastic has recently been acknowledged by H.W. Pesch as a fundamental notion of fantasy-literature.
To achieve a clearly structured analysis of the creation of the text, the investigation adopts R.Lachmann's three-part model of a "pragmatically orientated theory of texts". The first and second parts of the study apply A.Dundes's distinction between "motif" (etic unit) and "motifeme' (emic unit). The motifs are classified mainly with the help of S.Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk Literature, whereas the structural analysis follows V.Propp's formalistic approach in the second edition of his Morphology of the Folktale, modified and annotated by A.Dundes's commentary. These two parts, summarized as "selection" and "combination", are supplemented by a third, which discusses presentation (the narrator) and style, following for the former C.Kahrmann's textual analysis and for the latter H.Plett's principles.
(1) The main character of The Hobbit, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, represents at first sight the character of the 'unpromising hero', which appears in a great number of fantasy (and other) stories. Tolkien modifies the conventional aspects and throughout the tale builds up an individual, getting very close to Erasmus's concept of the miles Christianus. This development is not obvious from the beginning, and there is evidence that only after some hesitation did Tolkien decide to introduce the stock-figure of the "warrior hero" (impersonated by Bard) to slay the dragon, and to leave to the "hero" Bilbo Baggins the insight that "to conquer oneself is to conquer indeed" (B.W. Wardropper). At the same time, the hobbit exhibits the characteristics of the "heill hugr" or luckwearer (W. Groenbach), a dominant figure of Germanic mythology. All these traits are united in the person of a "hobbit"; it is possible to show that (even if Tolkien himself rejects this idea) his name and to some extent his outer appearance ("furry feet") are based on a blend of HOB and (RAB)BIT. The character of the hero is not as simple as is often assumed; even the name "Baggins" shows an interesting pun on Middle English bagge 'bag' and French bague 'ring', both of which the second edition of the Dictionary of British Surnames notes as possible sources of Bagg, Baggs. The story is peopled with other creatures, most of them non-human, but with sharply defined characteristics. In the person of the wizard Gandalf, one can recognize the traits of the Odinic wanderer and the wise man of the Germanic lore. The dwarves (sic!) and elves (in spite of some particularities) are closely linked with the tradition as registered in the Motif-Index. The choice of the dwarf-names, all taken from the Elder Edda, seems to have been influenced by C.N. Gould's "Dwarf-Names: A Study in Old Icelandic Religion". Tolkien's "goblins", who are twice named "orcs", are "mischievous and ugly sprites" according to the Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology. Although the name is English, these creatures are only classified as "ogres" in the Motif-Index; these also include "trolls", which in The Hobbit, appear with their habitual characteristics. The dragon is Tolkien's favourite monster. Smaug, whose name is derived from the Germanic root smúgan 'to creep', is (in Tolkien's words) the "personification of malice, greed and destruction", and the resemblance to the dragon in Beowulf need not be elaborated.
(2) The structure of The Hobbit largely follows Propp's classification. Most of the "motifemes" are present. The structure consists of a main story-line with imbedded sub-lines, which are complete stories in the sense of Propp's Morphology. It is only in the end that the main story-line shows a parenthetical structure, which does not find any analogy in Propp's system.
(3) For the presentation of the tale, Tolkien has chosen the role of the obtrusive narrator, well known in medieval literature, who addresses his audience and comments on the story. The situation of "telling the story" is underlined by the numerous intrusions of the narrator on his own story as well as the use of the receiver-including "we".
Tolkien uses a great number of stylistic devices, ranging from the phonological level up to the semantic structure of the tale. Using statistical methods, the study demonstrates that the style of the text rises towards the end. A significant number of archaic words (nearly 70 per cent) can be found on the last 50 of the 285 pages of the book, thus anticipating the "high style" of The Lord of the Rings.

Book review.......2000-10-30
A six-page first chapter deals with tips and techniques. Here you will find information on microwavable utensils, shopping and storage. The rest of the chapters are about hearty main dishes, minimain dishes, side dishes, and snacks and sweets.
One of the positive points of this book is that the ingredients for the recipes are listed in separate columns (for one and two servings) in order to avoid confusing the novice cook. I also find helpful the fact that the charts include information on power level setting, procedure and time although I miss the one regarding nutritional values. The illustrations in full color are a plus too.
