  • America Against Poverty

    Edward JamesBOOKAmerica Against Poverty2025

    First published in 1970, America Against Poverty explores America's "War on Poverty," declared by President Johnson in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and continued under President Nixon’s administration. Edward James highlights that this "war" represents only a small part of America's broader effort to lift a fifth of its population out of poverty. He connects this initiative to the larger struggle and the strategies that have shaped it, em…

  • Who Benefits the Most from Micro-Credit? Micro-Level Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessEdward James, Emmanuel O James et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2025Referencias: 4

    This paper moves beyond typical mean effect analysis to examine who truly benefits from micro-credit. Utilising household-level panel data from 2010 to 2019 for a sample of Sub-Saharan African countries, via a quantile panel framework, we show that micro-credit has positive outcomes for households below specific welfare levels in low and lower-middle income countries. Conversely, the impact is less pronounced for wealthier households. Our results…

  • The Science Fiction

    Edward JamesBOOKLois McMaster Bujold2017

    This chapter discusses the science fiction of Lois McMaster Bujold. Bujold has written about fourteen science fiction books and a number of short stories: approximately six thousand pages of text. Almost all of her science fiction stories have been set in the universe sometimes known by her fans as the Vorkosiverse after its central character, Miles Vorkosigan. Although her writing as a whole has expanded beyond that universe, her science-fiction…

  • Lois McMaster Bujold

    Edward James, Edward D JamesBOOKLois McMaster Bujold2015

    "Readers have awarded Lois McMaster Bujold four Hugo Awards for Best Novel, a number matched only by Robert Heinlein. Her Vorkosigan series redefined space opera with its emotional depth and explorations of themes such as bias against the disabled, economic exploitation, and the role of women in society. Acclaimed science fiction scholar Edward James traces Bujold's career, showing how Bujold emerged from fanzine culture to win devoted male and f…

  • The Cambridge companion to fantasy literature

    Edward James, Farah MendlesohnBOOKThe Cambridge companion to…2012

    "Fantasy is a creation of the Enlightenment and the recognition that excitement and wonder can be found in imagining impossible things. From the ghost stories of the Gothic to the zombies and vampires of twenty-first-century popular literature, from Mrs Radcliffe to Ms Rowling, the fantastic has been popular with readers. Since Tolkien and his many imitators, however, it has become a major publishing phenomenon. In this volume, critics and author…

  • The M erovingians from the F rench R evolution to the T hird R epublic

    Open AccessEdward JamesARTICLEEarly Medieval Europe2012Citada por: 2

    In the early twentieth century, F rench schoolchildren were taught almost nothing about the M erovingians: a great change from a century earlier. This article explores some of the reasons why the public image of the M erovingians and their F rankish subjects altered in the course of the great political changes which unrolled in F rance in the century after the R evolution. A crucial figure was A ugustin T hierry, whose eloquent rewriting of what …

    Edward JamesARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2000Referencias: 3

    Editor,—Kyaw et al 1 highlight the importance of advice from general practitioners in the immunisation of patients with pneumococcal vaccine.

    Open AccessEdward JamesARTICLETransactions of the Royal…1989Citada por: 4Referencias: 7

    EARLY medieval archaeology can be said to have its origins with the investigation of burial: with Otto III's opening of Charlemagne's tomb in 1000; with medieval and early modern reports of the discoveries of the graves of kings or warriors; and, most notably, with the discovery at Tournai in 1653 of the grave of an early Frankish king, Childeric. And, until very recently, the study of burials dominated the subject. This is only natural. Graves a…
