199836243Routledge. 1998. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Book is fine. Tiny tear to rear DJ 1 cm.; Women and Slaves in Classical Culture examines how ancient societies were organized around slave-holding and the subordination of women to reveal how women and slaves interacted with one another in both the cultural representations and the social realities of the Greco-Roman world. The contributors explore a broad range of evidence including: the mythical constructions of epic and drama the love poems of Ovid the Greek medical writers Augustine's autobiography a haunting account of an unnamed Roman slave the archaeological remains of a slave mining camp near Athens. They argue that the distinctions between male and female and servile and free were inextricably connected. This erudite and well-documented book provokes questions about how we can hope to recapture the experience and subjectivity of ancient women and slaves and addresses the ways in which femaleness and servility interacted with other forms of difference such as class gender and status. Women and Slaves in Classical Culture offers a stimulating and frequently controversial insight into the complexities of gender and status in the Greco-Roman world.; 287 pages . 0415162297 .

2013BN43409MavenPress® 2013. 2013. Softcover. 20.5 x 1.5 x 12 cm. Es ist ein sonniger Freitagmorgen als Charles Lindbergh am 20. Mai 1927 mit seiner vollgetankten Spirit of St. Louis zum Start rollt und damit zu einem der größten bisherigen Abenteuer der Luftfahrt ansetzt. Vor ihm liegt ein Alleinflug über Tausende von Meilen Ozean ohne die Möglichkeit in einem Notfall Hilfe herbeizurufen. Von einem ähnlichen Unterfangen sind kurz zuvor zwei Franzosen nicht mehr zurückgekehrt. Dennoch geht Lindbergh das Wagnis ein und das mit einem Flugzeug dem es an allem mangelt was heutzutage für die Sicherheit in der Luftfahrt unverzichtbar ist. Aus der eigens für diesen Flug konstruierten Maschine hat Lindbergh nicht einmal direkte Sicht nach vorn - dazu dient ihm ein Periskop. Gute 33 Stunden später landet er sicher in Paris und hat damit die erste Nonstop-Atlantiküberquerung von New York nach Paris in der Geschichte der Luftfahrt absolviert. Was war das für ein Mann Wie kommt man zu einem solchen Vorhaben Direkt nach seiner Rückkehr aus Paris schrieb Charles Lindbergh in der Abgeschiedenheit des Anwesens Falaise seines Gönners Harry Guggenheim mit nur 25 Jahren dieses Buch. 'Wir zwei' ist seine Autobiographie von seinen ersten Begegnungen mit der Luftfahrt bis zu jenem einschneidenden Ereignis in seinem Leben. Sie erzählt die Geschichte eines von der Fliegerei besessenen jungen Mannes der alles daran setzt um seinen Traum vom Fliegen zu verwirklichen: bezahlte Rundflüge im mittleren Westen der USA waghalsige Showflüge Fallschirmabsprünge und Stunts auf Volksfesten Ausbildung beim Militär und harte und gefährliche Jahre als Postflieger mit dem einen oder anderen Totalverlust an Fluggerät. 'Wir zwei' gipfelt in der Schilderung der Vorbereitung und Durchführung jenes einsamen Abenteuers für das Lindbergh in die Luftfahrtgeschichte eingehen sollte. Ein eigens für diese Ausgabe geschriebenes Geleitwort von Lindberghs Tochter Reeve rundet 'Wir zwei' ab.

199530638Oxford At the Clarendon Press. 1995. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor Shelfwear. Review of book by Marsh McCall tipped in signed by Mccall to Philippa Goold.; Oxford Classical Monographs; 283 pages; Euripides' Hecuba is is dominated by the vengence which Hecuba takes on the faithless Polymestor and explores in a complex and profound manner the potential of revenge as a subject for tragedy. The sacrifice of Polyxena is in counterpoint to the revenge action; the whole is set in the chaotic aftermath of the fall of Troy. The combination of plots creates one of Eruipides' most effective dramas full of pathos suspense and excitement. This the first book-length study of the play in English argues that it has been greatly undervalued by critics who have failed to appreciate the power of its rhetoric the subtlety of its characterization and the beauty of its choral odes. The book also examines and seeks to explain the powerful influence of Hecuba in the Renaissance and compares the play with English revenge tragedy of the 16th and 17th century. . 0198147899 .

Light wear to back upper corner.; Die Festschrift vereinigt die Vorträge amerikanischer und deutscher Wissenschaftler die anläßlich des 70. Geburtstags William M. Calders III Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois im September 2002 auf einem Kolloquium in der Fondation Hardt Vandœuvres/Genf gehalten wurden. Zu Ehren des Jubilars der sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten um die Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Altertumskunde international anerkannte Verdienste erworben hat war dieses Kolloquium dem großen deutschen Gräzisten Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff 1848-1931 gewidmet. Die Vielfalt wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Fragestellungen spiegelt sich in den Beiträgen wider: Während sich die einen mit Wilamowitz' Forschungen über antike Schriftsteller wie Sophokles Aristophanes Seneca und die Autoren des griechischen Romans und mit seiner Arbeit über unterschiedlichste Bereiche antiker Kultur etwa die Astrologie das griechisch-römische Drama und die attische Demokratie beschäftigen erhellt ein anderer welche allgemeine Bedeutung für die Kultur und Bildung des 19. Jahrhunderts Wilamowitz dem Griechischen zumaß. Weitere Studien sind hingegen von biographischem und historischem Interesse und gelten z. B. Seiner Haltung zu Meinungsfreiheit und politischer Zensur. Nicht zuletzt werden in diesem Band wichtige Originaldokumente erstmals ediert so der umfängliche Briefwechsel zwischen Wilamowitz und dem Altertumswissenschaftler Franz Boll.; Spudasmata Band 92; 324 pages; Signed by One Author . 3487119870 .

201042779Lexington Books. 2010. Softcover. Fine. For better or worse the ancient Greeks retain their cultural political and philosophical authority for contemporary educators and actors. Maureen Dowd has talked about the Hellenization of the Bush administration Thucydides has been used as a template to analyze the Iraqi War and the War on Terror Greek drama has been repeatedly performed in sometimes spectacular if unconventional ways while the Trojan War the battle of Thermopylae the Spartans and Alexander have all been the subjects of recent films. Last year the New York Times carried a front page story about "conservatives" taking a "new tack" by establishing "beachheads" for programs in Western Civilization and American Institutions in which the ancient Greeks hold pride of place. The contributors to When Worlds Elide are also invested in having Greek philosophy literature and political theory taken seriously in contemporary debates-whether over modes of interpreting Plato Athenian democracy gender ethnicity or materiality. What distinguishes this book is the substantive range of the essays in it and the generative potentialities of "using" ancient authors and events in analyzing these debates. It begins from the premise that "the Greeks" like "the French" or "the Chinese" obscures the contested histories of ethnic geographic and political formations in favor of an idealized dehistoricized collectivity. The also book also illustrates the ways in which ancient texts must be understood within the history of interpretative practices which means that "the Greeks" are more a moving target than a stable entity and that each generation of interlocutors formulates continually transforming questions readings and arguments. Finally this book supposes that an interrogation of "the Greek legacy" depends on interdisciplinary work where interdisciplinarity functions as a verb-that is something that is always in the process of being achieved.; Greek Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches; 152.4 X 0.99 X 9 inches; 490 pages . 0739122754 .

Sir Thomas Francis Wade 1818-1895 a British soldier turned diplomat and Sinologist was the first professor of Chinese at Cambridge University. He developed a system of romanizing the Chinese language based on pronunciation conventions of the Beijing dialect. The system was later modified by Herbert Giles another diplomat and scholar who had succeeded him as professor of Chinese at Cambridge and became known as the Wade-Giles system. It was widely used throughout much of the twentieth century to represent the sounds of Mandarin in Western publications and is still used to represent some personal and place names. This work was prepared with the express purpose of preparing individuals destined to join Her Majesty's Consular Service in China with the written language of government as it appeared in books and in official correspondence.
