With dust jacket, a black silk signet and a slipcase nicely housing the book. "Alan Moore and David Lloyd's powerful epic about loss of freedom and individuality gets the Absolute treatment! Taking place in a totalitarian England following a devastating war that changed the face of the planet, V FOR VENDETTA was the inspiration for the hit 2005 movie starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving. This amazing graphic novel spotlights a mysterious man in a white porcelain mask and his young protégé as they fight political oppressors through terrorism and seemingly absurd acts. It's a gripping tale of the blurred lines between ideological good and evil and details a world where political and personal freedoms are non-existent."

20090271New Brunswick (NJ), Transaction Publishers, 2009. First edition. Octavo, 235 x 160 mm, (xiii) 265 pp. Hardcover with dust jacket. "The United States became a great power in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and a superpower during World War II without quite knowing it. Few Americans fully appreciate the fact today. How many people know that in recent years we have had 250,000 troops in 700 bases around the world? Consider our recent history of military operations in the Caribbean, East Asia, the Far East, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Balkans. In America Rising, David Felix attempts to explain how and why America became a superpower by examining the political and economic factors that have driven its ascendance and their relationship throughout history. Felix begins with the dawn of America, showing how America amassed wealth and political power from the start through wars, assertions of economic might, and the creation of a cultural and philosophical base. The nation began with a political order, derived from our British origins, which enabled our pragmatic culture to take advantage of the vast wealth of a near-virgin continent. Political and economic freedom were paired, authority yielding to both freedoms. Our farmers and businessmen were dreamers, manufacturing realities out of those dreams. Felix's account then makes a point of neoclassical economics as an anvil on which to hammer out a sharper sense of the content of our existence. This book, which demonstrates the author's zest for historical analysis and great story-telling ability, points to the central fact of a rising America--the intensely energizing interaction between polity and economy. The United States is the greatest power in world history, but the rise of another great power, China, is beginning to be increasingly apparent. One trusts that, drawing upon its deep resources, America will remember its history and traditions and continue as a superpower." (Front and back flap)
202001004United Kingdom, Scarlet Imprint, 2020.

"In Artaud and the Gnostic Drama, Jane Goodall offers a reappraisal of the importance of Antonin Artaud (18961948), mythologised as an icon of failure and madness, and examines the intricate parallels between his heretical dramaturgy and the heresies of ancient Gnosticism. The book situates Artaud, as the most extravagant of heretics, in company with the Gnostics whose speculations served to define heresy in the beginnings of the Christian tradition. Artaud subscribed to the Gnostic idea that the sensible world was created by a demiurge who was “imperfect, possibly evil and depraved.” His cosmology is inherently dramatic, setting creature against creator, force against form, matter against spirit, pious knowledge against heretical gnosis. Jane Goodall argues that major post-structuralist critics such as Derrida, Deleuze, and Foucault, who have enlisted Artaud in their own anti-orthodoxies, have refused to pay attention to the terms of his own heresy. In this refusal, they display an anxiety towards the gnostic drama and its heresies, which mount an assault that may be more powerful than their own upon the founding tenets of western thought." (Publisher's abstract) This work was first published by the Clarendon Press, Oxford in 1994. The text has been lightly revised for this second edition and is illustrated.

Crossing Cultures is a compilation of the conference papers from the 32nd International Congress in the History of Art organized by the International Committee of the History of Art (CIHA), edited by conference convenor Professor Jaynie Anderson. This volume contains more than 200 papers presented at the congress by art historians from twenty-five countries, including Homi K Bhabha (Harvard University), Michael Brand (Director of the John Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles), Marcia Langton (Chair of Australian Indigenous Studies, University of Melbourne), Ronald de Leeuw (Director of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Neil McGregor (Director of the British Museum, London) and Ruth B. Phillips (Canada Research Chair in Modern Culture and Professor of Art History, Carleton University, Ottawa). Never before has the state of art history in our polycentric world been demonstrated so well. Crossing Cultures encourages fresh thinking about global art history." (Abstract)

Various contributors. From the editors: "The last decade has seen a surge of interest in pediatric myelodysplastic diseases and a number of initiatives to improve registration,diagnosis, and management have been launched. An increasing number of publications have appeared but no book has as yet compiled the many aspects of myelodysplastic diseases in children.This book has contributions from the major researchers and groups involved in the study of myelodysplasia and myeloproliferative disorders in children. It is composed of three introducing chapters on classification and epidemiology followed by detailed discussion of the many aspects of MDS and JMML. The last chapters present the experiences from a number of study groups worldwide describing their achievements in the study of this intriguing group of diseases. The book reflects out current knowledge on myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders including some controversies. In a field moving rapidly towards new accomplishments discrepancies in interpretation of the data will invariably exist.It has been a pleasure to collaborate with this distinguished group of authors. We hope hematologists, pediatric oncologists, and laboratorial professionals will find the book useful in clinical practice and an inspiring basis for further research."
