Thirteen essays on the Iron Age in Israel and Jordan, covering settlement patterns, iconography, cult, palaeography and the archaeology of certain key sites. This volume offers an exceptionally informed update in a fast-moving area of discovery and interpretation. The first section deals with spatial archaeology and settlement patterns, all the papers based on the fieldwork by A. Zertal in Samaria, A. Ofer in Judah, G. Lehmann in the Akko Plain, and S. Gibson in various areas in the hill country of Israel. The second section covers religion and iconography. The two single Iron Age temples known today in Israel, at Dan and Arad, are discussed by A. Biran and Z. Herzog. R. Kletter and K. Prag discuss clay figurines and other cult objects; T. Ornan identifies Ishtar on a number of seals and on a silver pendant; and N. Franklin examines the iconography and meaning of the wall relief in Room V at Sargon's palace in Khorsabad. The last section includes three studies related to specific sites. M. Steiner considers urban development in Jerusalem during Iron Age II; A. Mazar presents data from Iron Age II Beth Shean, and P. Bienkowski and L. Sedman discuss finds from Buseirah, the capital of Edom.

Hewn out of ruddy rock in the midst of a mountain wilderness, sumptuous in ornament and savage in environs, poised in wildness like a great carved opal glowing in a desert, this lost caravan city staggers the most experienced traveller." So wrote Rose Macaulay in her Pleasure of Ruins (1953) , echoing the sentiments of generations of travelers before and since. Reached through a narrow, winding crevasse between looming cliffs in south Jordan, Petra served as the capital city of the Nabatean Arabs from the third century B. C. E to 106 C. E. (when it was occupied by the Roman emperor Trajan). In this lavishly illustrated book, Maria Giulia Amadasi Guzzo and Eugenia Equini Schneider provide an accessible overview of the history and culture of the Nabateans, including their language, religion, politics, and economy, as well as a detailed guide to the city of Petra and its art and architecture. A major stop on the spice trade route, Petra attracted wealth and culture from across the Arabic and classical worlds and was abundantly furnished with more than 800 monuments. Perhaps the most well known of these is the Khazneh el-Faroun, or Treasury, a royal tomb more than 130 feet high with a magnificent Hellenistic facade carved from the salmon pink sandstone of the surrounding cliffs. But no less impressive were Petra's advanced achievements in hydraulic engineering, including elaborate water conservation systems and dams. For anyone who has felt the lure and wonder of ancient cities and civilizations in exotic locations, Petra will be a delightful and invaluable resource. ; 11.3 X 10.1 X 0.9 inches; 204 pages

ill., br. Nel marzo del 1982 un diciannovenne di Wilmington, North Carolina, segnò i due punti che regalarono il titolo nazionale ai Tar Heels. Inizia così la leggenda di Michael Jordan, destinato a trasformarsi di lì a poco in un'icona della cultura americana, capace di trascendere lo sport e abbattere le barriere etniche e generazionali. Il suo stile fu imitato da milioni di ragazzi che sognavano di essere "like Mike", come recitava uno spot del Gatorade, celebre quanto i video girati per la Nike con Spike Lee. Le sue acrobazie e il suo "sesto senso cinestetico" rivoluzionarono la Nba, che MJ disertò all'apice del successo in seguito all'omicidio del padre, per tornarvi dopo due anni e conquistare una serie di primati senza precedenti. Ma per quanto perfetta nelle sue epifanie sul campo, l'immagine di Jordan nascondeva delle zone d'ombra, la passione per il gioco d'azzardo, i contrasti in seno alla famiglia, che questa biografia esplora per tentare di ricomporre la doppia personalità del campione, dalla quale scaturiva quel feroce agonismo con cui soggiogava avversari e compagni di squadra. Di Michael Jordan, l'"arcangelo dei canestri", Roland Lazenby ci offre un ritratto completo, partendo dall'infanzia trascorsa con l'indomito bisnonno Dawson, contrabbandiere di whisky e zatteriere, per arrivare all'avventura deludente come manager, e soffermandosi sull'epopea dei Chicago Bulls, ovvero la cavalcata sportiva più avvincente di ogni tempo.
