Building Capitalism (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Linda ClarkePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136599533
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
First published in 1992, this Routledge Revival sees the reissue of a truly original exploration of the nature of urbanization and capitalism. Linda Clarke’s vital work argues that: Urbanization is a product of the social human labour engaged in building as well as a concentration of the labour force. The quality of the labour process determines the development of production. Changes to the built environment reflect changes in the production process and, in particular, the development of wage labour. To support these arguments, the author identifies a qualitatively new historical stage of capitalist building production involving a significant expansion of wage labour, and hence capital, and the transition from artisan to industrial production. Linda Clarke draws from a wide range of original material relating to the development of London from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century to provide a complete description of the development process: materials extraction, roadbuilding, housebuilding, paving, cleansing, etc; profiles of builders and contractors involved, and a picture of the new working class communities, as in Somers Town – their living conditions, population, working environment, and politics.

Book Description
Hell hath no fury like a God scorned. And for Clemence and her group of magical misfits, no truer words were spoken. They're the only thing standing between an ancient African God hell bent on an apocalypse and the salvation of all supernaturals. It's up to them to finish the battle started by their ancestors; however, there's just one small problem---okay, maybe two. Clemence doesn't know the first thing about her power, nor what an Obeah is. Oh, and her friends might be a little bit....well, cursed. Armed with a book they can't open, a sketchy plan and a temperamental map(that's seen better days); it's a fight to the finish to get Clemence trained, break the curse that might be killing her friends and succeed where their ancestors failed---all before the clock runs out and the vindictive God and his soul stealing minion destroy the entire magical community and anyone else that gets in their way. Should be easy, right? Let the countdown to Armageddon begin.

The Builder
Author: Le Fantôme de l’Opéra by Gaston Leroux
Author: Laura Paola PellegriniPublisher: LED Edizioni Universitarie
ISBN: 8879165844
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Le Fantôme de l’Opéra is a multifaceted novel. It is a gothic novel, because it speaks of obscure presences, sadows, ghosts, fate and magic; it is a romantic novel, just as Gaston Leroux’s indolence was romantic, leading the author to a certain gloomy and bittersweet melancholy; it is a decadent novel, because its protagonist is a real dandy, theatrical and excessively elegant, who loves to surround himself with baroque furnishings, mirrors, velvet and gold, just as Wilde or Huysmans would have liked; it is a symbolist novel, filled with countless metaphors dear to fairy-tale narrative, such as the key, the ring, the kiss, the lake, the river; it is a surrealist novel, as Jean Cocteau declared, since it tells of dreams, vast and obsessive spaces, as in Louis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland; it is a modern novel that narrates the voyage into the inner depths of ourselves, connected to the world of Psychoanalysis and to Sigmund Freud; it is a detective novel, for the language of investigation that appears in certain passages and for its myriad of mysterious crimes; it is a love story that tells of an unhappy, unrequited passion. Le Fantôme de l’Opéra is a novel that contains many novels and many styles, and that touches us deeply because it speaks of emotions and feelings. It is a popular novel that tells stories about each one of us, even if these stories seem incredible. It is an extraordinary novel that inspired many other works: novels, films, television programs, circus performances, ice-skating phantasmagoria. It inspired these from its first appearance in 1910, to this day, and will continue to inspire others in years to come.
