(P/B) ENDURING ALLIANCE
A HISTORY OF NATO AND THE POSTWAR GLOBAL ORDER
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0109

Born from necessity, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has always seemed on the verge of collapse. Even now, some seventy years after its inception, some consider its foundation uncertain and its structure weak. At this moment of incipient strategic crisis, Timothy A. Sayle offers a sweeping history of the most critical alliance in the post-World War II era. In Enduring Alliance, Sayle recounts how the western European powers, along with the United States and Canada, developed a treaty to prevent encroachments by the Soviet Uni...

(H/B) ARGUING ABOUT ALLIANCES
THE ART OF AGREEMENT IN MILITARY-PACT NEGOTIATIONS
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0110

Why do some attempts to conclude alliance treaties end in failure? From the inability of European powers to form an alliance that would stop Hitler in the 1930s, to the present inability of Ukraine to join NATO, states frequently attempt but fail to form alliance treaties. In Arguing about Alliances, Paul Poast sheds new light on the purpose of alliance treaties by recognizing that such treaties come from negotiations, and that negotiations can end in failure. In a book that bridges Stephen Walt's Origins of Alliance and Glenn Snyder's All...

(H/B) THE LIFE OF ALCIBIADES
DANGEROUS AMBITION AND THE BETRAYAL OF ATHENS
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0104

This biography of Alcibiades, the charismatic Athenian statesman and general (c. 450-404 BC) who achieved both renown and infamy during the Peloponnesian War, is both an extraordinary adventure story and a cautionary tale that reveals the dangers that political opportunism and demagoguery pose to democracy. As Jacqueline de Romilly brilliantly documents, Alcibiades's life is one of wanderings and vicissitudes, promises and disappointments, brilliant successes and ruinous defeats. Born into a wealthy and powerful family in Athens, Alcibiade...

(P/B) MOTHERS IN MOURNING
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0106

Nicole Loraux brilliantly elucidates how Athenian politics were 'gendered' in the Classical period. She investigates the Athenian state's interdiction of ritualized mourning by women, in a city where public mourning constituted a vital act of civic self-definition and solidarity. "As Loraux shows, the silencing and exclusion of female-especially maternal-claims to a crucial relationship with the city's fallen war heroes served, and was reinforced by, the ideologically charged, distinctively Athenian notion of the polis as mother of its cit...

(P/B) MEDIEVAL POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0073

Medieval Political Philosophy: A Sourcebook, edited by Ralph Lerner and Muhsin Mahdi, has been a classroom favorite since its publication in 1963. When it first appeared, it was the only anthology of medieval political philosophy to contain major texts from all three Western monotheistic traditions - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - and that claim remains true today. This new edition of this classic text of political philosophy - revised and enlarged by Joshua Parens and Joseph C. Macfarland - will make accessible to today's students the...

(P/B) THE PEACE OF NICIAS AND THE SICILIAN EXPEDITION
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0019

Why did the Peace of Nicias fail to reconcile Athens and Sparta? In the third volume of his landmark four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War, Donald Kagan examines the years between the signing of the peace treaty and the destruction of the Athenian expedition to Sicily in 413 B.C. The principal figure in the narrative is the Athenian politician and general Nicias, whose policies shaped the treaty and whose military strategies played a major role in the attack against Sicily.

(P/B) GLOBAL MATTERS
THE TRANSNATIONAL TURN IN LITERARY STUDIES
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0103

As the pace of cultural globalization accelerates, the discipline of literary studies is undergoing dramatic transformation. Scholars and critics focus increasingly on theorizing difference and complicating the geographical framework defining their approaches. At the same time, Anglophone literature is being created by a remarkably transnational, multicultural group of writers exploring many of the same concerns, including the intersecting effects of colonialism, decolonization, migration, and globalization. Paul Jay surveys these developm...

(P/B) NARRATIVE DISCOURSE REVISITED
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0029

When it First appeared in France in 1972, Gerard Genette's now classic Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Method was hailed as a formative text for the contemporary study of narrative. In Narrative Discourse Revisited, which was originally published in 1983 under the title Nouveau discours du recit, Genette both answers critics of the earlier work and provides a better-defined, richer, and more systematic view of narrative form and functioning. This book not only clarifies some of the more complex issues in the study of narrative but also pr...

(P/B) ON GREEK RELIGION
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0074

"There is something of a paradox about our access to ancient Greek religion. We know too much, and too little. The materials that bear on it far outreach an individual's capacity to assimilate: so many casual allusions in so many literary texts over more than a millennium, so many direct or indirect references in so many inscriptions from so many places in the Greek world, such an overwhelming abundance of physical remains. But genuinely revealing evidence does not often cluster coherently enough to create a vivid sense of the religious re...

(P/B) REPRESENTING THE HOLOCAUST
HISTORY, THEORY, TRAUMA
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0102

Defying comprehension, the tragic history of the Holocaust has been alternately repressed and canonized in postmodern Western culture. Recently our interpretation of the Holocaust has been the center of bitter controversies, from debates over Paul de Man's collaborationist journalism and Martin Heidegger's Nazi past to attempts by some historians to downplay the Holocaust's significance. A major voice in current historiographical discussions, Dominick LaCapra brings a new clarity to these issues as he examines the intersections between his...

(P/B) ARIADNE'S THREAD
A GUIDE TO INTERNATIONAL STORIES IN CLASSICAL LITERATURE
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0099

From Cinderella to The Boy Who Cried Wolf to The Dragon Slayer to the Judgment of Solomon, certain legends, myths, and folktales are part of the oral tradition in countries around the world. In addition to their pervasiveness, these stories show an astonishing longevity; many such tales are found in classical antiquity. Ariadne's Thread is an encyclopedia of more than a hundred such international oral tales, all present in the literature of ancient Greece and Rome. It takes into account writings, including early Jewish and Christian litera...

(P/B) THE MIRROR, THE WINDOW, AND THE TELESCOPE
HOW RENAISSANCE LINEAR PERSPECTIVE CHANGED OUR VISION OF THE UNIVERSE
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0098

In The Mirror, the Window, and the Telescope, Samuel Y. Edgerton brings fresh insight to a subject of perennial interest to the history of art and science in the West: the birth of linear perspective. Edgerton retells the fascinating story of how perspective emerged in early fifteenth-century Florence, growing out of an artistic and religious context in which devout Christians longed for divine presence in their daily lives. And yet, ironically, its discovery would have a profound effect not only on the history of art but on the history of...

(H/B) HOW CHINA ESCAPED THE POVERTY TRAP
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0097

Before markets opened in 1978, China was an impoverished planned economy governed by a Maoist bureaucracy. In just three decades it evolved into the world's second-largest economy and is today guided by highly entrepreneurial bureaucrats. In How China Escaped the Poverty Trap, Yuen Yuen Ang explains this astonishing metamorphosis. Rather than insist that either strong institutions of good governance foster markets or that growth enables good governance, Ang lays out a new, dynamic framework for understanding development broadly. Successful...

(P/B) FRANZ LISZT (VOLUME 3)
THE FINAL YEARS, 1861-1886
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0094

The third volume in Alan Walker's magisterial biography of Franz Liszt. "You can't help but keep turning the pages, wondering how it will all turn out: and Walker's accumulated readings of Liszt's music have to be taken seriously indeed." - D. Kern Holoman, New York Review of Books "A conscientious scholar passionate about his subject. Mr. Walker makes the man and his age come to life. These three volumes will be the definitive work to which all subsequent Liszt biographies will aspire." - Harold C. Schonberg, Wall Street Journal "What ...

(P/B) TAMING THE WILD FIELD
COLONIZATION AND EMPIRE ON THE RUSSIAN STEPPE
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0096

Stretching from the tributaries of the Danube to the Urals and from the Russian forests to the Black and Caspian seas, the vast European steppe has for centuries played very different roles in the Russian imagination. To the Grand Princes of Kiev and Muscovy, it was the "wild field," a region inhabited by nomadic Turko-Mongolic peoples who repeatedly threatened the fragile Slavic settlements to the north. For the emperors and empresses of imperial Russia, it was a land of boundless economic promise and a marker of national cultural prowess...

(P/B) UNRULY WOMEN OF PARIS
IMAGES OF THE COMMUNE
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0095

In this vividly written and amply illustrated book, Gay L. Gullickson analyzes the representations of women who were part of the insurrection known as the Paris Commune. The uprising and its bloody suppression by the French army is still one of the most hotly debated episodes in modern history. Especially controversial was the role played by women, whose prominent place among the Communards shocked many commentators and spawned the legend of the p?troleuses, women who were accused of burning the city during the battle that ended the Commun...

(P/B) THE UNMAKING OF SOVIET LIFE
EVERYDAY ECONOMIES AFTER SOCIALISM
Εκδότης: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3978-0051

In order to understand today's Russia and former Soviet republics, it is vital to consider their socialist past. Caroline Humphrey, one of anthropology's most highly regarded thinkers on a number of topics including consumption, identity, and ritual, is the ideal guide to the intricacies of post-Soviet culture. The Unmaking of Soviet Life brings together ten of Humphrey's best essays, which cover, geographically, Central Russia, Siberia, and Mongolia; and thematically, the politics of locality, property, and persons. Bridging the stronges...
