A9780198769439Hardback. New. Many Victorian novels take place not in the steam-powered railway present of that era but in the recent past: a world moving by stage and mail coach. Ruth Livesey explores the historical consciousness of such works by Dickens Bronte Eliot and Hardy and explains how they convey an idea of a national belonging through a sense of local place. hardcover
A9781350412514Hardback. New. <b>The epigraphy of 1st-millennium-BCE Italy has been studied for many years but these studies have largely concentrated on the languages encoded in the inscriptions and their semantic meanings. </b>This book takes a more holistic approach that looks not only at content but also the archaeological contexts of the inscriptions and the materiality of their 'supports': the artefacts and monuments on which the inscriptions occur. The first writing in Italy was not a local invention but was introduced by the Phoenicians and Greeks in the 9th–8th centuries BCE. It was taken up by number of indigenous communities over the subsequent centuries to write their own languages before these were eventually submerged by the spread of Latin. In a series of theoretical methodological and interpretative essays Ruth Whitehouse explores what can be learned about how writing was used by these communities and what it meant to them. The bodies of data considered relate to Venetic and Raetic the northeast Lepontic the northwest Messapic the southeast and Etruscan west central Italy extending also into Campania in the south and the Po plain in the north. While not a comprehensive survey there are enough different groups to allow a comparative approach to be adopted. Analysis of the datasets is able to reveal the similarities and differences between them as well as identify features that were widespread in 1st-millennium-BCE Italy and others that were more idiosyncratic and specific to particular cultural groups. Placing materiality at the centre of study allows a reconsideration of the roles writing played in the lives of the individuals and groups who occupied Italy in the 1st millennium BCE. hardcover

147660New York: Bloomsbury Academic 2010. First edition of the second edition of this scholarly work about the historical theories of women and gender. Octavo original pictorial wrappers. Association copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "Florence 31 January 2016 For Justice Ginsburg en homage amical Laura Lee Downs." American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.†a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination voting rights and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia 1996 which struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment Olmstead v. L.C. 1999 in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Friends of the Earth Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. 2000 in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. "Puts the entire range of women's and gender history into context showing how it challenges the conventional pieties opens up new veins of research and transforms our understanding of every aspect of history" Lynn Hunt University of California.
