Narratives of Empire: The Fictions of Rudyard Kipling

Writers whose work reflects the experience of empire betray the anxieties and contradictions at the heart of the imperial enterprise. Zohreh T. Sullivan's new reading of Rudyard Kipling's writings about India expands our sense of colonial discourse and recovers the cultural context and recurring tropes in his early journalism and fiction, in Kim, and in his late autobiography. She charts the fragmentation of Kipling's position as child, as colonizer and as 'poet of empire', finding in his representation of childhood's loss the site of repressed and disavowed desires and fears that resurface in later work.

A Study In Islamic Epistemology Al-GhazaliA Study In Islamic Epistemology Al-Ghazali

The basic issue that this book will be concemed with is the
genette development of Al-Ghazzfiliyy's epistemology. It is
my contention that his epistemology evolved through vartous
stages. Both his life and writings reflect this development.
As a student, he began his academic life with an
interest in traditlonal Islamic studies such as jurisprudence
(ftqh) and fundamentals of jurisprudence (~ül alftqh).

Educational Research: The Attraction of Psychology

The closely argued and provocative contributions to this volume challenge psychology’s hegemony as an interpretive paradigm in a range of social contexts such as education and child development. They start from the core observation that modern psychology has successfully penetrated numerous domains of society in its quest to develop a properly scientific methodology for analyzing the human mind and behaviour. For example, educational psychology continues to hold a central position in the curricula of trainee teachers in the US, while the language of developmental psychology holds primal sway over our understanding of childrearing and the parent-child relationship.

Victorian London: The Life of a City, 1840-1870Victorian London: The Life of a City, 1840-1870

This book is the result of the author's passionate interest in the realities of everyday life, and the conditions in which most people lived, so often left out of history books.

This period of mid-Victorian London encompasses a huge range of subjects: Victoria's wedding and the place of the royals in popular esteem; how the very poor lived; new terraced housing and transport, trains, omnibuses, and the Underground; furniture and decor; families and the position of women; the prosperous middle classes and their new shops; entertaining and servants, food and drink.

All the splendours and horrors of Victorian life will be vividly recalled.
