Описание: The resonant ruins of Pompeii are perhaps the most direct route back to the living, breathing world of the ancient Romans. Two million visitors annually now walk the paved streets which re-emerged, miraculously preserved, from their layers of volcanic ash. Yet for all the fame and unique importance of the site, there is a surprising lack of a handy archaeological guide in English to reveal and explain its public spaces and private residences. This compact and user-friendly handbook, written by an expert in the field, helpfully fills that gap. Illustrated throughout with maps, plans, diagrams and other images, Pompeii: An Archaeological Guide offers a general introduction to the doomed city followed by an authoritative summary and survey of the buildings, artefacts and paintings themselves. The result is an unrivalled picture, derived from an intimate knowledge of Roman archaeology around the Bay of Naples, of the forum, temples, brothels, bath-houses, bakeries, gymnasia, amphitheatre, necropolis and other site buildings - including perennial favourites like the House of the Faun, named after its celebrated dancing satyr.

Описание: All disciplines can count on a noble founder, and the representation of this founder as an authority is key in order to construe a discipline's identity. This book sheds light on how Plato and other authorities were represented in one of the most long-lasting traditions of all time. It leads the reader through exegesis and polemics, recovery of the past and construction of a philosophical identity. From Xenocrates to Proclus, from the sceptical shift to the re-establishment of dogmatism, from the Mosaic of the Philosophers to the Neoplatonist Commentaries, the construction of authority emerges as a way of access to the core of the Platonist tradition.
Описание: Between 1850 and 1950, at least 115 women were lynched by mobs in the US. The majority of these women were black. This examines the phenomenon of the lynching of women, which was a much more rare experience than the lynching of men. Of particular importance in this examination is the role of race in lynching, particularly the increase in the number of black lynchings as the century progressed.

Описание:
The Stories of Classical Mythology Have Endured for 2500 Years.
The ancient Greeks, bedeviled by nearly unbearable adversities, struggled for 2500 years to define their cultural identity. In the end they prevailed, emerging from savage tribalism to become the world's first democracy and one of the greatest civilizations ever known.To help scale those heights, the Greeks created an elaborate mythology. They filled it with anthropomorphic gods and mind bending tales of valor and heroism -- lessons in how to survive and thrive in a harsh environment. (Western Cultural Tradition, Bronze Age)
Myths of cosmology. . . .Gaia and Uranus, earth and sky, the primordial couple and the first generation of gods; Zeus, supreme leader of the Olympian gods with his invincible masculine will to power; Demeter, goddess of grain and agriculture, who continually sorrows; Persephone, queen of the underworld, who repeatedly dies and returns; Aphrodite, goddess of love and sexual desire, who starts and ends the Age of Heroes; and more....(Athena, Dionysus, Apollo, Artemis, Hera, Poseidon, Titans, Cronus)
Myths of human evolution. . . .Prometheus, who shoots fire through the imaginations of men; first woman Pandora, who releases all the world's evils, except hope; ancient Greece's greatest hero Heracles, who suffers, dies and becomes immortal; and more....(Theseus)
Brilliant but brutal Achilles, whose rage nearly brings defeat to the Greeks; Trojan King Priam, who puts to his lips the hand of the man who killed his son; wily Odysseus, who outwits giants, witches, goddesses and cannibals to return home and claim his wife and throne; (Hector, Paris, Helen, Agamemnon, Telemachus, Penelope, Patroclus)
Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Orestes, Electra and Iphigenia -- the House of Atreus -- from whose atrocities a new form of social justice emerges; blind Oedipus, who suffers from innocently fulfilling a prophecy of patricide and incest; Antigone, who dies for following the gods' instructions in violation of the king's orders; and more....(Athena, Furies, Aegisthus, Oracle at Delphi)
The Romans: Romulus, who slays his twin Remus, then founds Rome; Aeneas, the Trojan prince who establishes Roman civilization; and more....(Dido, Venus, Juno, Turnus, Ovid)
These myths are filled with massive amounts of blood and gore, tragic scenes of war, and individual revenge killings. Murder and mayhem reign throughout. Graphic sexuality of all persuasions, by gods and men alike, permeate these stories. Something in these myths will offend nearly everybody, so brace yourself.
You will witness the profound ability of mankind to withstand extreme physical and emotional suffering and pain, and still retain their humanity. You will see awe-inspiring heroism as Greek warriors face overwhelming odds for no other reason than to bring everlasting honor to their own name. You will behold a woman of ship-launching beauty and goddesses of alluring sexuality. You may be moved by examples of genuine humanity - love, compassion, and mercy.
And finally, a renewed hope for mankind may surge in your breast, too, when you witness an old man, weeping and clutching the knees of an enemy warrior, while the enemy warrior himself also weeps.
Описание: This book argues that the work of the Austrian economists, including Carl Menger, Joseph Schumpeter, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, has been narrowly interpreted. Through a study of Viennese politics and culture, it is demonstrated that the project they were engaged in was much broader: the study of civilization.
Описание: Abu Ma`ali al-Juwayni (d. 478/1085) is a lauded figure in Islamic intellectual history but his thought remains underexplored. Living during a politically precarious period, he became preoccupied with questions of religious certainty and continuity. Siddiqui reveals the dynamism of his thinking on the relationship between theology, law and politics.

Описание:
Identity: The Necessity of a Modern Idea is the first comprehensive history of identity as the answer to the question, "who, or what, am I?" It covers the century from the end of World War I, when identity in this sense first became an issue for writers and philosophers, to 2010, when European political leaders declared multiculturalism a failure just as Canada, which pioneered it, was hailing its success. Along the way the book examines Erik Erikson's concepts of psychological identity and identity crisis, which made the word famous; the turn to collective identity and the rise of identity politics in Europe and America; varieties and theories of group identity; debates over accommodating collective identities within liberal democracy; the relationship between individual and group identity; the postmodern critique of identity as a concept; and the ways it nonetheless transformed the social sciences and altered our ideas of ethics.
At the same time the book is an argument for the validity and indispensability of identity, properly understood. Identity was not a concept before the twentieth century because it was taken for granted. The slaughter of World War I undermined the honored identities of prewar Europe and, as a result, the idea of identity as something objective and stable was thrown into question at the same time that people began to sense that it was psychologically and socially necessary. We can't be at home in our bodies, act effectively in the world, or interact comfortably with others without a stable sense of who we are. Gerald Izenberg argues that, while it is a mistake to believe that our identities are givens that we passively discover about ourselves, decreed by God, destiny, or nature, our most important identities have an objective foundation in our existential situation as bodies, social beings, and creatures who aspire to meaning and transcendence, as well as in the legitimacy of our historical particularity.
