Although only covering six years, this builds on the previous two volumes of the Ferranti history that has outlined how the firm grew into one of the UK's leading defence electronics operations. Having survived a major liquidity crisis in 1974-75, Ferranti recovered robustly under new management, only to flounder under the same leadership as a result of a major foray into the American defence electronics industry. The case-study outlines the inherent dangers in international mergers, as well as the acute problems associated with City and corporate governance practices which resulted in decisions that undermined Ferranti fatally.Electrical engineeringGreat BritainHistoryGreat BritainfastGrossbritanniengndHistory.fastDerek Alun-Jones.Eugene Anderson.Ferranti.ISC.James Guerin.arms trading.corporate governance.defence electronics.fraud.Electrical engineeringHistory.338.7620941Wilson John F.309776MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796595903321Ferranti3782110UNINA06195nam 2200901 450 991082895120332120200520144314.00-8122-9180-810.9783/9780812291803(CKB)3710000000454471(EBL)3442552(SSID)ssj0001521111(PQKBManifestationID)12614229(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001521111(PQKBWorkID)11531161(PQKB)11455314(OCoLC)914434952(MdBmJHUP)muse46653(DE-B1597)452770(OCoLC)1013950698(OCoLC)1029826399(OCoLC)1032679332(OCoLC)1037979781(OCoLC)1042026975(OCoLC)1046612629(OCoLC)1047008372(OCoLC)919002769(OCoLC)979968325(DE-B1597)9780812291803(Au-PeEL)EBL3442552(CaPaEBR)ebr11081179(CaONFJC)MIL815900(MiAaPQ)EBC3442552(EXLCZ)99371000000045447120150413h20152015 uy| eengurcnu||||||||txtccrEarly modern cultures of translation /edited by Karen Newman and Jane TylusPhiladelphia :University of Pennsylvania Press ;[Washington, District of Columbia] :Folger Shakespeare Library,[2015]©20151 online resource (365 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8122-4740-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Translating the language of architecture /Peter Burke --Translating the rest of Ovid : the exile poems /Gordon Braden --Macaronic verse, plurilingual printing, and the uses of translation /A.

Karen Newman and Jane Tylus ask in their Introduction to this wide-ranging group of essays on the uses of translation in an era formative for the modern age. The early modern period saw cross-cultural translation on a massive scale. Humanists negotiated status by means of their literary skills as translators of culturally prestigious Greek and Latin texts, as teachers of those same languages, and as purveyors of the new technologies for the dissemination of writing. Indeed, with the emergence of new vernaculars and new literatures came a sense of the necessary interactions of languages in a moment that can truly be defined as "after Babel." As they take their starting point from a wide range of primary sources-the poems of Louise Labé, the first Catalan dictionary, early printed versions of the Ptolemy world map, the King James Bible, and Roger Williams's Key to the Language of America-the contributors to this volume provide a sense of the political, religious, and cultural stakes for translators, their patrons, and their readers. They also vividly show how the very instabilities engendered by unprecedented linguistic and technological change resulted in a far more capacious understanding of translation than what we have today. A genuinely interdisciplinary volume, Early Modern Cultures of Translation looks both east and west while at the same time telling a story that continues to the present about the slow, uncertain rise of English as a major European and, eventually, world language.
