The Borgias: Power and Fortune
ISBN: 9781786495464 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. * * A Daily Mail Book of the Week * * The sensational story of the rise and fall of one of the most notorious families in history. ____________________ 'A wickedly entertaining read' The Times ____________________ The Borgias have become a byword for evil. Corruption, incest, ruthlessness, avarice and vicious cruelty - all have been associated with their name. But the story of this remarkable family is far more than a tale of sensational depravities - it also marks the golden age of the Italian Renaissance and a decisive turning point in European history. From the family's...

Rise and Fall: A History of the World in Ten Empires
ISBN: 9781473698635 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Rise and Fall opens with the Akkadian Empire, which ruled over a vast expanse of the region of ancient Mesopotamia, then turns to the immense Roman Empire, where we trace back our western and eastern roots. Next Strathern describes how a great deal of western classical culture was developed in the Abbasid and Umayyid Caliphates. Then, while Europe was beginning to emerge from a period of cultural stagnation, it almost fell to a whirlwind invasion from the East, at which point we meet the Emperors of the Mongol Empire . . .
Combining breathtaking scope with masterful concision, Paul Strathern... Rise and Fall opens with the Akkadian Empire, which ruled over a vast expanse of the region of ancient Mesopotamia, then turns to the immense Roman Em...

ISBN: 9780759107595 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Updated with a new Preface, this seminal work challenges the routine ways in which anthropologists have thought about the complexity and quantity of their materials. Marilyn Strathern focuses on a problem normally regarded as commonplace; that of scale and proportion. She combines a wide-ranging interest in current theoretical issues with close attention to the cultural details of social life, attempting to establish proportionality between them. Strathern gives equal weight to two areas of contemporary debate: The difficulties inherent in anthropologically representing complex societies, and...

Kinship at the Core: An Anthropology of Elmdon, a Village in North-West Essex in the Nineteen-Sixties
ISBN: 9780521105033 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the village of Elmdon in north-west Essex, members of certain families are distinguished from other residents as being real Elmdon'. Through a detailed ethnography of the structure of the village, and the interrelationships between its various families, work patterns and community activities, Marilyn Strathern provides an understanding of the characteristics of those who most vehemently claim to be 'real' village people. Yet this account goes far beyond ethnographic description. Its inspiration lies with Dr Audrey Richards, a distinguished anthropologist whose most substantial contribution...

Arrow Talk: Transaction, Transition, and Contradiction in New Guinea Highlands History
ISBN: 9780873386616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Arrow Talk makes a significant contribution to the understanding of Melanesian culture and contemporary sociopolitical issues in Papua New Guinea. In a post modern era in which culture has been dismissed by many anthropologists as a reification, this book makes a cogent argument for cultural holism by showing how symbolic, psychological, religious and linguistic factors have combined to shape Melpa responses to the political and economic crises they have had to face in the waning years of the millennium. This analysis also contributes notably to the development of anthropological...

Shifting Contexts: Transformations in Anthropological Knowledge
ISBN: 9780415107952 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. To suppose anthropological analysis can shift between global and local perspectives may well imply that the two co-exist as broader and narrower horizons or contexts of knowledge. The proof for this can be found in ethnographic accounts where contrasts are repeatedly drawn between the encompassing realm and everyday life or in value systems which sumultaneously trivialise and aggrandise or in shifts between what pertains to the general or to the particular.

Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolo Machiavelli, and Cesare Borgia--three iconic figures whose intersecting lives provide the basis for this astonishing work of narrative history. They could not have been more different, and they would meet only for a short time in 1502, but the events that transpired when they did would significantly alter each man's perceptions--and the course of Western history. In 1502, Italy was riven by conflict, with the city of Florence as the ultimate prize. Machiavelli, the consummate political manipulator, attempted to placate the savage Borgia by volunteering Leonardo...
