The Cue for Passion
ISBN: 9780674498570 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Having set aside age-old ways of mourning, how do people in the modern world cope with tragic loss? Using traditional mourning rituals as an instructive touchstone, Gail Holst-Warhaft explores the ways sorrow is managed in our own times and how mourning can be manipulated for social and political ends.
Since ancient times political and religious authorities have been alert to the dangerously powerful effects of communal expressions of grief--while valuing mourning rites as a controlled outlet for emotion. But today grief is often seen as a psychological problem: the... Having set aside age-old ways of mourning, how do people in the modern world cope with tragic loss?

Augustan Rome 44 BC to AD 14: The Restoration of the Republic and the Establishment of the Empire
ISBN: 9780748619559 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Centring on the reign of the emperor Augustus, volume four is pivotal to the series, tracing of the changing shape of the entity that was ancient Rome through its political, cultural and economic history. Within this period the Roman world was reconfigured. On a political and constitutional level the patterns of the republic, which sustained an oligarchic regime and a popularist structure, were transformed into a monarchical dictatorship in which the earlier elements continued to function. On an imperial level, the growth in Roman power reached what was virtually its apogee. In literature and...

Imperial Rome AD 193 to 284: The Critical Century
ISBN: 9780748620517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Roman empire during the period framed by the accession of Septimus Severus in 193 and the rise of Diocletian in 284 has conventionally been regarded as one of 'crisis'. Between 235 and 284, at least eighteen men held the throne of the empire, for an average of less than three years, a reckoning which does not take into account all the relatives and lieutenants with whom those men shared power. Compared to the century between the accession of Nerva and the death of Commodus, this appears to be a period of near unintelligibility. The middle of the century also witnessed catastrophic, if...

Herodotus: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199575992 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Hailed by Cicero as "the father of history," Herodotus was both a critical thinker and a lively storyteller, a traveler who was both tourist and anthropologist. Like Homer, he set out to memorialize great deeds in words, in particular, the wars between Greece and Persia. In his hands, the Greeks' unforeseeable defeat of the Persian kings Darius and Xerxes with their vast hosts made for fascinating storytelling. Influenced by the work of the natural scientists and philosophers of his own and earlier eras, Herodotus also brought his literary talents to bear on a vast, unruly mass of historical...

Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780195342635 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Public interest in biblical archaeology is at an all-time high, as television documentaries pull in millions of viewers to watch shows on the Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant, and the so-called Lost Tomb of Jesus. Important discoveries with relevance to the Bible are made virtually every year--during 2007 and 2008 alone researchers announced at least seven major discoveries in Israel, five of them in or near Jerusalem. Biblical Archaeology offers a passport into this fascinating realm, where ancient religion and modern science meet, and where tomorrow's discovery may answer a riddle...

History: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780192853523 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There are many stories we can tell about the past, and we are not, perhaps, as free as we might imagine in our choice of which stories to tell, or where those stories end. John Arnold's addition to Oxford's popular Very Short Introductions series is a stimulating essay about how people study and understand history. The book begins by inviting us to think about various questions provoked by our investigation of history, and then explores the ways in which these questions have been answered in the past. Such key concepts as causation, interpretation, and periodization are introduced by way of...
