(P/B) CHILDREN AND CHILDHOOD IN CLASSICAL ATHENS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0051

First published in 1990, Children and Childhood in Classical Athens was the first book in English to explore the lives of children in ancient Athens. Drawing on literary, artistic, and archaeological sources as well as on comparative studies of family history, Mark Golden offers a vivid portrait of the public and private lives of children from about 500 to 300 B.C. Golden discusses how the Athenians viewed children and childhood, describes everyday activities of children at home and in the community, and explores the differences in the soc...

(P/B) THE CHEESE AND THE WORMS
THE COSMOS OF A SIXTEENTH-CENTURY MILLER
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0098

The Cheese and the Worms is an incisive study of popular culture in the sixteenth century as seen through the eyes of one man, the miller known as Menocchio, who was accused of heresy during the Inquisition and sentenced to death. Carlo Ginzburg uses the trial records to illustrate the religious and social conflicts of the society Menocchio lived in. For a common miller, Menocchio was surprisingly literate. In his trial testimony he made references to more than a dozen books, including the Bible, Boccaccio's Decameron, Mandeville's Travels...

(P/B) NIGHTMARE ALLEY
FILM NOIR AND THE AMERICAN DREAM
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0150

Desperate young lovers on the lam (They Live by Night), a cynical con man making a fortune as a mentalist (Nightmare Alley), a penniless pregnant girl mistaken for a wealthy heiress (No Man of Her Own), a wounded veteran who has forgotten his own name (Somewhere in the Night) - this gallery of film noir characters challenges the stereotypes of the wise-cracking detective and the alluring femme fatale. Despite their differences, they all have something in common: a belief in self-reinvention. Nightmare Alley is a thorough examination of how...

(P/B) SCIENCE AND RELIGION
A HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0147

Written by distinguished historians of science and religion, the thirty essays in this volume survey the relationship of Western religious traditions to science from the beginning of the Christian era to the late twentieth century. This wide-ranging collection also introduces a variety of approaches to understanding their intersection, suggesting a model not of inalterable conflict, but of complex interaction. Tracing the rise of science from its birth in the medieval West through the scientific revolution, the contributors describe major...

(P/B) SCIENCE AND RELIGION, 400 B.C. TO A.D. 1550
FROM ARISTOTLE TO COPERNICUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0148

Historian Edward Grant illuminates how today's scientific culture originated with the religious thinkers of the Middle Ages. In the early centuries of Christianity, Christians studied science and natural philosophy only to the extent that these subjects proved useful for a better understanding of the Christian faith, not to acquire knowledge for its own sake. However, with the influx of Greco-Arabic science and natural philosophy into Western Europe during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Christian attitude toward science changed ...

(H/B) DEALING WITH DARWIN
PLACE, POLITICS AND RHETORIC IN RELIGIOUS ENGAGEMENTS WITH EVOLUTION
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0149

Using place, politics, and rhetoric as analytical tools, historical geographer David N. Livingstone investigates how religious communities sharing a Scots Presbyterian heritage engaged with Darwin and Darwinism at the turn of the twentieth century. His findings, presented as the prestigious Gifford Lectures, transform our understandings of the relationship between science and religion. The particulars of place - whether in Edinburgh, Belfast, Toronto, Princeton, or Columbia, South Carolina - shaped the response to Darwin's theories. Were t...

(H/B) A CINEMA OF POETRY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0146

A Cinema of Poetry brings Italian film studies into dialogue with fields outside its usual purview by showing how films can contribute to our understanding of aesthetic questions that stretch back to Homer. Joseph Luzzi considers the relationship between film and literature, such as the cinematic adaptation of literary sources, and more generally the fields of rhetoric, media studies, and modern Italian culture. The book balances theoretical inquiry with close readings of films by the masters of Italian cinema: Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio...

(P/B) FICTIONAL TRUTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0079

"All literary genres are artifacts", writes Michael Riffaterre, "but none more blatantly so than fiction. Its very name declares its artificiality, and yet it must somehow be true to hold the interest of its readers, to tell them about experiences at once imaginary and relevant to their own lives. This paradox of truth in fiction is the problem for which I propose to seek a solution." In "Fictional Truth" Riffaterre identifies and discusses the features that give fictional narratives their ring of truth. He offers a semiotic revision of tr...

(P/B) LOVE AND LOVE SICKNESS
SCIENCE OF SEX, GENDER DIFFERENCE AND PAIR-BONDING
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0145

Until recently, the study of sex roles, sexual behavior, and the differences between the sexes came under the aegis of such disciplines as psychiatry, sociology, or medicine. Love and Love Sickness lays the groundwork for an emerging, independent area of study, that of sexology. It is the newest, most provocative work yet from John Money, a medical psychologist whose distinguished contributions to sex research have gained him an international reputation. Money leads the reader through a fascinating array of topics relating to differences b...

(P/B) THE MASKS OF WAR
AMERICAN MILITARY STYLES IN STRATEGY AND ANALYSIS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0144

Why was the Navy ready to clear the skies over the Persian Gulf, yet surprised by the mines laid under it? Why is it that the Army is always prepared for war in Europe, but was caught off guard in Korea and Vietnam? And why is the Air Force indifferent to "Star Wars"? In The Masks of War Carl H. Builder asks what motives lie behind the puzzling and often contradictory behavior of America's military forces. The answer, he finds, has little to do with what party controls the White House or who writes the budget. Far more powerful - and glac...

A HISTORICAL APPROACH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0143

Carefully chosen selections from Frye, Benjamin, L?vi-Strauss, Lukacs, Bakhtin, and other prominent theorists explore the historical significance of the novel as a genre, from its early beginnings to its modern variations in the postmodern novel and postcolonial novel. Offering a generous selection of key theoretical texts for students and scholars alike, Theory of the Novel also presents a pr...

(P/B) DEATH AND BURIAL IN THE ROMAN WORLD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0132

Never before available in paperback, J. M. C. Toynbee's study is the most comprehensive book on Roman burial practices. Ranging throughout the Roman world from Rome to Pompeii, Britain to Jerusalem - Toynbee's book examines funeral practices from a wide variety of perspectives. First, Toynbee examines Roman beliefs about death and the afterlife, revealing that few Romans believed in the Elysian Fields of poetic invention. She then describes the rituals associated with burial and mourning: commemorative meals at the gravesite were common, w...

(P/B) FEMINIST BIOETHICS
AT THE CENTER, ON THE MARGINS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0142

This volume considers the place of feminist bioethics within the broader international bioethics community. Since its emergence two decades ago, the feminist perspective on bioethics has existed at the periphery of the discipline's mainstream. Concerns over reproduction and women's health issues-along with the concept that prevailing bioethical thought was fundamentally gendered-were largely subsumed by such overarching issues as the protection of research subjects and by theoretical and methodological frameworks derived from Kantian philo...

(P/B) DANCE AND RITUAL PLAY IN GREEK RELIGION
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0068

In private and in public life, the ancient Greeks danced to express divine adoration and human festivity. They danced at feasts and choral competitions, at weddings and funerals, in observance of the cycles of both nature and human existence. Formal and informal dances marked the rhythms of life and death. In Dance and Ritual Play in Greek Religion, Steven Lonsdale looks at how the Greeks themselves regarded the act of dance, and how dance and related forms of ritual play in Greek religious festivals served a wide variety of functions in ...

(P/B) THE TREASURE OF THE SAN JOSE
DEATH AT SEA IN THE WAR OF THE SPANISH SUCCESSION
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0137

Sunk in a British ambush in 1708, the Spanish galleon San Jose was rumored to have one of the richest cargos ever lost at sea. Though treasure hunters have searched for the wreck's legendary bounty, no one knows exactly how much went down with the ship or exactly where it sank. Here, Carla Rahn Phillips confronts the legend of lost treasure with documentary records of the San Jose's final voyage and suggests that the loss of silver and gold en route to Spain paled in comparison to the loss of the six hundred men who went down with the ship...

(P/B) GENOA AND THE SEA
POLICY AND POWER IN AN EARLY MODERN MARITIME REPUBLIC, 1559-1684
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0139

Genoa enjoyed an important and ever-changing role in the early modern Mediterranean world. In medieval times, the city transformed itself from a tumultuous maritime republic into a stable and prosperous one, making it one of the most important financial centers in Europe. When Spanish influence in the Mediterranean world began to decline, Genoa, its prosperity closely linked with Spain's, again had to reinvent itself and its economic stature. In Genoa and the Sea, historian Thomas Allison Kirk reconstructs the early modern Mediterranean w...

(P/B) ATLANTIC DIASPORAS
JEWS, CONVERSOS, AND CRYPTO-JEWS IN THE AGE OF MERCANTILISM, 1500-1800
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0140

This wide-ranging narrative explores the role that Jews, Conversos, and Crypto-Jews played in settling and building the Atlantic world between 1500 and 1800. Through the interwoven themes of markets, politics, religion, culture, and identity, the essays here demonstrate that the world of Atlantic Jewry, most often typified by Port Jews involved in mercantile pursuits, was more complex than commonly depicted. The first section discusses the diaspora in relation to maritime systems, commerce, and culture on the Atlantic and includes an over...

(P/B) LEO STRAUSS
AN INTRODUCTION TO HIS THOUGHT AND INTELLECTUAL LEGACY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4221-0124

Leo Strauss's controversial writings have long exercised a profound subterranean cultural influence. Now their impact is emerging into broad daylight, where they have been met with a flurry of poorly informed, often wildly speculative, and sometimes rather paranoid pronouncements. This book, written as a corrective, is the first accurate, non-polemical, comprehensive guide to Strauss's mature political philosophy and its intellectual influence. Thomas L. Pangle opens a pathway into Strauss's major works with one question: How does Strauss'...
