Raising the State of the Art’: Commercializing innovation in digital sound
The history of sound recording has often emphasized technological developments, leaving aside artistic and aesthetic aspects of recorded works, commercial opportunities, the listening practices of consumers of recordings, and listening expectations. This article examines the experience of an innovative company, Soundstream Inc., which in the late 1970s and early 1980s marketed the first professional digital sound recording and editing services.

Written by an award-winning author, this advanced undergraduate and graduate level textbook bridges, for the first time, the early modern Atlantic empires and the later Asian and African empires of 'high imperialism'.

To Be a Citizen: The Political Culture of the Early French Third Republic
France's Third Republic confronts historians and political scientists with what seems a paradox: it is at once France's most long-lived experiment with republicanism and a regime remembered primarily for chronic instability and spectacular scandal. From its founding in the wake of France's humiliation at the hands of Prussia to its collapse in the face of the Nazi Blitzkrieg, the Third Republic struggled to consolidate the often contradictory imp…

Peasant and French: Cultural Contact in Rural France during the Nineteenth Century
Repertoires and Cycles of Collective Action
The modern era has generated a bewildering profusion of popular protest including widespread social movements and sporadic revolutionary upheaval. Despite the seemingly chaotic character of such collective action, social scientists have increasingly noted the remarkable regularities exhibited by even the most tumultuous social change. In this volume, sociologists, political scientists, and historians come together to assess the complementary conc…

Peasant and French: Cultural Contact in Rural France during the Nineteenth Century
Peasant and French examines the relationship between French peasants and the development of the French national identity during the nineteenth century. Drawing on methods from cultural studies and social history and a broad range of literary and archival sources, Lehning argues that modern France has in part defined itself as different from the peasantry. Rather than seeing rural French history as a process in which peasants lose their identities…

Socioeconomic Change, Peasant Household Structure and Demographic Behavior in a French Department
The article focuses on the relationship between social and economic structure and household structure, on the one hand, and household structure and demographic behavior on the other. The analysis provides some insight into the factors that determined household structure and demographic behavior in the two nineteenth-century villages in the Loire district in France-one village agricultural and the other with a protoindustrial sector. Labor needs i…

Literacy and Demographic Behavior: Evidence from Family Reconstitution in Nineteenth-Century France
AN IMPORTANT part of historians' view of the process of social change is the role assigned to the spread of literacy and education. The contrast between tranditional societies, one of whose characteristics is limited literacy and educational opportunities, and society with high levels of literacy and widespread education, has shaped both social history and development policy. For some, the acquisition of literacy exposes people to new ideas, make…

Family Life and Wetnursing in a French Village
Mercenary wetnursing in rural France is examined in terms of its role in the families that supplied the wetnurses. Data are from vital registration for the commune of Marlhes in the Stephanois region of France during the nineteenth century. The evidence allows consideration of three points of intersection between wetnursing and the families of Marlhes: the economic role of wetnursing especially in poorer families; the relationship between nurslin…
