1. Book Review: Shredding Paper: The Rise and Fall of Maine's Mighty Paper Industry , by Michael G. Hillard.

Author

Newton, Jason L.

Subjects
PAPER industry, HISTORY of capitalism, SOCIAL unrest, NATURAL resources, RAILROAD tracks, ELECTRONIC books
Abstract

Hillard proposes that, from the perspective of workers' "folk political economy" (p. 4), which he deduces largely from oral histories, there were "good and bad capitalisms" (p. 212). Hillard's schema of good and bad capitalisms is a useful conceptualization and ideal for teaching, but at least one other important layer of analysis could be included here to give a fuller account of capitalism's change over time. Between 1908 and 1912 there were a number of these worker actions in Maine's paper industry, led by the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers and the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers.

21. Future of Newspapers: Will print papers survive in an online world?

Author

Abstract

The nation's $59 billion newspaper industry is facing an uncertain future even while its biggest companies are enjoying enviable profits averaging around 20 percent. Newspaper circulation has been declining for many years, especially among young adults. Now, newspapers are losing readers and some advertising to the Internet. In fact, only 52 percent of adults read the paper on a typical weekday. Many newspapers are working on redesigns aimed at making their print editions more readable. Most also have created Web sites to deliver news and information, including special features and interactive options not included in the print product. But newspaper executives are struggling to incorporate their online editions into viable business plans. Meanwhile, slipping profit margins are resulting in layoffs at several of the major newspaper companies and opening up the country's second-largest -- Knight Ridder -- to a possible takeover.

Abstract

The article discusses a book titled "De mundi recentioribus phænomenis: Cosmologie et science dans l'Europe des Temps modernes, XV e – XVII e siècles" edited by Mehl, Pantin, and Granada. The book is a collection of papers presented at a conference held to honor Miguel Ángel Granada on his 70th birthday. The papers cover a wide range of topics related to the history of early modern philosophy and science, including celestial novelties, the Scientific Revolution, and the works of Kepler. The volume highlights Granada's contributions to the field and offers new insights into the interconnectedness of European and Islamicate science during this period. The article discusses a collection of essays that explore various aspects of Johannes Kepler's work and philosophy. The essays cover topics such as Kepler's interpretation of Platonic polyhedrons, his hypotheses about solar inhabitants and the solar mind, and the understanding of Kepler's astronomy and philosophy by philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. The collection also includes unpublished letters from Kepler and his circle, shedding light on his personal and professional life. The volume reflects the complexity of the Scientific Revolution and the broader history of science, highlighting the circulation of ideas across Europe. [Extracted from the article]

Schenbeck views Dett as a leading proponent of Romantic Nationalism in music, and recounts Dett looking to Russia, among other places, for musical guidance and inspiration. In I Racial Uplift and American Music, 1878-1943, i Lawrence Schenbeck explores the relationship between music and racial uplift ideology, between the end of Reconstruction and the beginning of WWII.

Wachtel, Paul L.

Abstract

In both regards, Hirsch's Sullivan and Harry Sullivan may not be fully in agreement. In these latter quotes what Hirsch emphasizes is the patient's coming to I know i or I understand i or I see i something about himself, not the having of a I new experience i with the analyst. This is, one might say, the dark side of what is an important strength of Hirsch's point of view and perhaps his central philosophical commitment: Hirsch refuses to I condescend i to his patients.
