Thompson, Wayne CBiblio.com

The Political Odyssey of Herbert Wehner

1993PS-50Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1993. In this scholarly biography Wayne Thompson brings to life six decades of German history by tracing the career of Herbert Wehner. One of Germany's most active and influential politicians. Wehner emerged in the 1920s as a Communist firebrand and rose in the 1950s to the top leadership of the ruling Social Democratic Party. He remained influential during the party's decline to the role of an opposition party in the 1980s. By the time of his death in 1990 Wehner had become a symbol of the twists and turns the highs and lows of not only German but also Soviet and East European history in the 20th century. Placing this figure in the context of this time Thompson provides insights into the nature of the SPD and the FRG's political system. 485 pgs. Frontispiece. Illustrated. Dustjacket in mylar. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Westview Press Hardcover

THE POLITICS OF MUNIFICENCE IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE; Citizens Elites and Benefactors in Asia Minor

200934625Cambridge University Press. 2009. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholars' bookplate to inner cover Slater & Dunbabin. Faint shelfwear to book. Creasing and edgewear along upper edge of DJ.; In the first two centuries AD the eastern Roman provinces experienced a proliferation of elite public generosity unmatched in their previous or later history. In this study Arjan Zuiderhoek attempts to answer the question why this should have been so. Focusing on Roman Asia Minor he argues that the surge in elite public giving was not caused by the weak economic and financial position of the provincial cities as has often been maintained but by social and political developments and tensions within the Greek cities created by their integration into the Roman imperial system. As disparities of wealth and power within imperial polis society continued to widen the exchange of gifts for honours between elite and non-elite citizens proved an excellent political mechanism for deflecting social tensions away from open conflicts towards communal celebrations of shared citizenship and the legitimation of power in the cities.; Greek Culture In The Roman World; 9.1 X 6.0 X 0.7 inches; 206 pages . 0521519306 .
