An Introduction to Historical Comparison
Historical comparison as a method of historical analysis goes back to Herodotus in antiquity, yet it was not until the 1920s through the work of historian Marc Bloch that it was recognised as a solid historical method. Even today, some historians are wary of applying a comparative lens to their work.Why is this, Mikhail Krom asks, when historical comparison can be an incredibly insightful approach to history?Designed as a helpful resource for historians, An Introduction to Historical Comparison aims to teach scholars how to develop the skills needed to successfully employ a comparative methodology.It begins by tracing the intellectual history of comparative history writing and then examines the practice of historical comparison.The result is a clear and engaging analysis of historical thinking and a useful guide to main methodological techniques, successes, and pitfalls of comparative research.An Introduction to Historical Comparison is the first comprehensive study of the theory and practice of comparative-historical research.Combining a wide range of case-studies from the best practitioners of historical comparison with an innovative interdisciplinary perspective, this book is thus a meaningful contribution to current debates on historiography.As such, this resource will be of immense value to both students reading historiography and methodology and to historians looking to apply a comparative approach to their own research.

Weak in Comparison to Dreams
"Weak in Comparison to Dreams... is the most courageous and fascinating debut I have read since Mark Z.Danielewski’s House of Leaves." —Full Stop MagazineFor years, Samuel Emmer has monitored bacteria levels in drinking water for the small city of Guelph. He is content to focus on dangerous life-threatening single-celled organisms as his grasp on his own life recedes—and with it, family and friends.To be sure, it is more than a little surprising when Samuel learns that he has been appointed to the city’s Zoo Feasibility Committee.Even more so, that he is being tasked with interacting not just with animals, but human beings.His assignment: travel to zoos around the world and gather information on the stereotypical behavior of animals in their enclosures—the city of Guelph aspiring commendably, if naively, to a cruelty-free habitat for its animals.It is in Tallinn, Estonia, that the dreams start for Samuel.He is in a vast wooded landscape; there is a fire burning in the distance; and it is coming his way… Weak in Comparison to Dreams, by the historian and art critic James Elkins, is like no other novel you have ever read, even as certain inspirations, from Sebald to Tokarczuk, are clear.With an astounding breadth of knowledge and playful courage, Weak in Comparison to Dreams reignites our love for the ambitious novel with experimentation that never lacks intention, and whose empathetic scope explores the deepest aspects of our individual humanity.

The Art and Craft of Comparison
Is it possible to compare French presidential politics with village leadership in rural India?Most social scientists are united in thinking such unlikely juxtapositions are not feasible.Boswell, Corbett and Rhodes argue that they are possible.This book explains why and how. It is a call to arms for interpretivists to embrace creatively comparative work.As well as explaining, defending and illustrating the comparative interpretive approach, this book is also an engaging, hands-on guide to doing comparative interpretive research, with chapters covering design, fieldwork, analysis and writing.The advice in each revolves around 'rules of thumb', grounded in experience, and illustrated through stories and examples from the authors' research in different contexts around the world.Naturalist and humanist traditions have thus far dominated the field but this book presents a real alternative to these two orthodoxies which expands the horizons of comparative analysis in social science research.

Metaphor, comparison, or both?
A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things, while a comparison is a more general term that can refer to any type of similarity or difference between two things. Both metaphors and comparisons involve highlighting similarities between two things, but a metaphor does so by directly equating one thing with another, often in a more symbolic or imaginative way. So, when considering whether a particular phrase or expression is a metaphor, a comparison, or both, it's important to consider whether the language used directly equates one thing with another in a symbolic or imaginative way.

What is the difference between a penis comparison and a testicle comparison?
A penis comparison typically involves comparing the size, shape, or appearance of the penis, while a testicle comparison focuses on comparing the size, shape, or appearance of the testicles. Both types of comparisons are often done for reasons related to self-esteem, curiosity, or sexual interest, but they involve different parts of the male anatomy. It's important to remember that everyone's body is unique and comparisons should not be used to judge one's worth or masculinity.

Gender, Constitutions, and Equality : A Global Comparison
This book addresses whether the "gendering" of constitutions promotes women’s equality. The authors use a mixed-methods approach to explore how constitutional gender rights affect political processes and strategies, legislative and judicial outcomes, and ultimately women’s equality.They employ a cross-national study by constructing a unique database of gender provisions in over 100 countries at three points in time: 1995, 2005, and 2015.Four in-depth comparative case studies on Argentina, Chile, South Africa, and Botswana trace the complex relationship between constitutional law, strategies, and policy change in four policy areas: family law, gender-based violence, reproductive rights, and employment rights.They argue that where egalitarian constitutional provisions are present, women’s rights advocates can use them as a tool to fight gender discrimination and pursue policy changes that address gender-based power disparities. At a time when gender equality provisions are increasingly common in constitutional design, this book clarifies the mechanisms that link constitutional provisions to changes in process and outcomes while also systematically describing and analyzing the effect of gender provisions across countries and over time.Gender, Constitutions, and Equality will inform theoretical debates on gender and politics, law and social change, feminist institutionalism, and constitutional design and its effect on legislation and political strategies.

Comparison and History : Europe in Cross-National Perspective
Historians today like to preach the virtues of comparison and cross-national work.In the last decade, cross-national histories have prospered, yielding important work in the subjects as diverse as the transatlantic trade in slaves and the cultures of celebrity.In the meantime, comparative history has also enjoyed a renaissance, but what is largely missing in the rush beyond the nation is any sense of how to tackle this research.This volume brings together scholars who have worked either cross-nationally or comparatively to reflect upon their own research. In essays that engage practical, methodological, and theoretical questions, these contributors assess the gains--but also the obstacles and perils--of research that traverses national boundaries. Drawn from the subject-areas that have attracted the most comparative and cross-national attention: war, welfare, labor, nation, immigration, and gender. Taken together, these essays provide the first critical analysis of the cross-national turn in European history.

What is the difference between qualitative offer comparison and quantitative offer comparison?
Qualitative offer comparison involves evaluating the non-numeric aspects of different offers, such as the quality of products or services, customer reviews, and brand reputation. It focuses on subjective factors that cannot be easily measured. On the other hand, quantitative offer comparison involves analyzing the numerical aspects of offers, such as price, discounts, and specific features or specifications. It relies on objective data that can be measured and compared directly. In essence, qualitative offer comparison looks at the overall value and customer experience, while quantitative offer comparison focuses on the specific numerical details of the offers.
