Charting the early discoveries, this archaeogical adventure is told in a series of close portraits of those involved.

Thinking Men : Masculinity and its Self-Representation in the Classical Tradition
ISBN: 9780415146357 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text explores artistic and intellectual expression in the Classical world as the self-representation of man. It starts from the premise that the history of Classical antiquity as the ancients tell it is a history of men. However, the focus of this volume is the creation, re-creation and iteration of that male self as presented in language, poetry, drama, philosophical and scientific thought and art: man constructing himself as subject in classical antiquity and beyond. This illustrated volume provides an insight into the representations of men in Classical culture.

Wax Tablets of the Mind: Cognitive Studies of Memory and Literacy in Classical Antiquity
ISBN: 9780415149839 / Angielski / Twarda / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this volume, the author argues that literacy is a complex combination of various skills, not just the ability to read and write: the technology of writing, the encoding and decoding of text symbols, the interpretation of meaning, the retrieval and display systems which organize how meaning is stored and memory. The book explores the relationship between literacy, orality and memory in classical antiquity, not only from the point of view of antiquity, but also from that of modern cognitive psychology. It examines the contemporary as well as the ancient debate about how the writing tools we...

ISBN: 9780415214278 / Angielski / Twarda / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This volume draws upon recent research in archaeology, ancient history, and the history of medicine to evaluate all these issues. It addresses a range of topics including views of ancient disease causation; public and private health measures; how the natural and urban environment...

The Babylonians: An Introduction
ISBN: 9780415253147 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For centuries, Babylon has been a symbol of the decadent city par excellence, signifying a deep mistrust of urbanization in general. In the Bible, the city has only negative connotations; and while later classical writers admired the city's size and splendour, they deplored some of its more unusual customs. Whatever the perspective taken, it was usual to take Babylon as standing for the whole of Mesopotamian civilization. The history of the Babylonians spans some 1800 years, from the time of Hammurabi, famous for his Law-Code, to the time when Alexander's heirs ruled the Near East....
