200038248University of California Press. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Small remainder mark to base of textblock black dot. Lower corners bumped.; xxi 494pp.; Classics and Contemporary Thought; 494 pages; The Roman empire remains unique. Although Rome claimed to rule the world it did not. Rather its uniqueness stems from the culture it created and the loyalty it inspired across an area that stretched from the Tyne to the Euphrates. Moreover the empire created this culture with a bureaucracy smaller than that of a typical late-twentieth-century research university. In approaching this problem Clifford Ando does not ask the ever-fashionable question Why did the Roman empire fall Rather he asks Why did the empire last so long Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire argues that the longevity of the empire rested not on Roman military power but on a gradually realized consensus that Roman rule was justified. This consensus was itself the product of a complex conversation between the central government and its far-flung peripheries. Ando investigates the mechanisms that sustained this conversation explores its contribution to the legitimation of Roman power and reveals as its product the provincial absorption of the forms and content of Roman political and legal discourse. Throughout his sophisticated and subtle reading is informed by current thinking on social formation by theorists such as Max Weber Jrgen Habermas and Pierre Bourdieu. . 0520220676 .

Sterling condition softcover copy with unfurled tips tight binding and clean internals showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear to the glossy card-stock wraps depicting a Dane pointing to his native country in the 1950s likely or to the country his country colonized. Phasing Out the Colonial Status of Greenland 1945-54: a historical study is a fine social history of the formation and operation of Greenlandic Home Rule from within the context of its colonization by Denmark previously. Each author is a recognized expert in the field of international studies and law. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of e.g. notes index and bibliography. From the publisher's blurb "the Danish government obliged the wish of the Greenlandic Home Rule to commission a historical report on the circumstances surrounding the changed status of Greenland within the realm following the modification of the Constitution in 1953. This report is here presented by leading specialists in the field who provide the most comprehensive account to date of Greenland's colonial status in the years 1945-54. With the Constitution of 1953 the colonial status of Greenland came to an end and the country was made an integral part of Denmark and Greenlanders were now granted equal rights as citizens within the Danish realm. In 1954 this new arrangement was supported by an overwhelming majority in the UN General Assembly. The decision to change Greenland's status was conditioned both by internal and external circumstances. In the UN context Danes increasingly felt the strain of being a colonial power and they also feared the possibility of future UN interference in Greenlandic affairs. The chapters in this volume are significant contributions to the ongoing debates concerning important political developments in Danish-Greenlandic relations in the post-war period. Together they constitute the definitive attempt to untangle and delineate the many circumstances impinging on the phasing out of Greedlands colonial status." 8 9-478 pp.Member I.O.B.A. C.B.A. and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

From the publisher's blurb "LIBER the principal association of research libraries in Europe was founded in 1971 under the auspices of the Council of Europe. The driving force behind the new association was a small dedicated group of European librarians led by Jean-Pierre Clavel Director of the Bibliothèque Cantonale et Universitaire Lausanne. Their goal was to give European research libraries national and university a distinctive and compelling voice in the international library community. The chosen name LIBER Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche was redolent of both books and freedom. This history covering the years from 1971 to 2009 documents a unique period in European history. The continent of Europe was divided into two separate blocs of West and East with very few contacts between librarians and scholars; in the late 1980s came the sudden collapse of Communism in Central and Eastern Europe and its consequences for libraries; and thereafter there arrived a new dawn of renewed contacts between librarians and restored co-operation between research libraries across the whole of Europe leading to the robust research network that is being built today. The book also charts the revolution in information technology in European research libraries and its profound effects on how libraries serve their users. In this process LIBER has played an active role in encouraging and developing a strong network of research libraries across Europe and in fostering positive co-operation among European research libraries. The author is the eminent Finnish national and university librarian and scholar Professor Esko Häkli himself a former president of LIBER. He has meticulously researched the history of LIBER in a period of profound social and political change in Europe. From this rich background he has woven an engrossing and yet contemplative account of LIBERs early struggles and successes in its mission to give European research libraries a distinctive voice."
