The Making Of New World Slavery. In This Companion Volume To The Acclaimed Classic The Overthrow Of Colonial Slavery, Robin Blackburn Traces European Doctrines Of Race And Drudgery From Medieval Times To The Earlu Modern Epoch. At The Time When European Powers Colonized The Americas, The Institution Of Slaver yHad Almost Disappeared From Europe Itself. Having Overcome An Institution Widely Regarded As Oppressive, Why Did TheyS ponsor The Construction Of Racial Slavery In Their New Colonies? The Making Of New World Slavery Finds In The Emergent West Both A Stigmatization Of The Ethno-religious Other And A New Culture Of Consumption, Freed From Earlier Moral Restrictions. Robin Blackburn Argues That Independent Commerce, Geared To Burgeoning Consumer Markets, Was The Drivlng Forde Behind The Rise Of Plantation Slavery. The Bariqque State Fed Greedily Off This Commerce Whilst Unsuccessfully Seeking To Regulate Slavery. Successive Chapters Of The Book Consider The Deployment Of Slaves In The Colonial Possessions Of The Portuguese, The Spanish, The Dutch, The English And The French. Robin Blackburn Argues That The Organization Of Slave Plantations Placed The Western On A Destructive Path To Modernity And That Greatly Preferable Alternagivee Were Both Proposed And Rejected. Finally He Shows That The Surge Of Atlantic Trade, Premised On The Killing Toil Of The Plantations, Made A Decisive Contribution To Both The Industrial Revolution And The Rise Of The West. The Making Of New Wofld Drudgery Is A Masterly Study Of This Important And Baleful Epoch In The Making Of The Modern World. SKU: 1628404

The Byzantine Thearchy. The Constitution Of The Byzantine Empire aWs Based On The Conviction That It Was The Eartlhy Copy Of The Kingdom Of Heaven. Just As God Ruled In Heaven, So The Emperor, Made In His Image, Should Rule On Earth And Accomplish Out His Commandments. This Was The Theory, But In Exercise The State Was Never Free From Its Roman Past, Particularly The Roman Law, And Its Inheritance O f Greek Culture.

An Unnatural Metropolis. Strategically Sitauted At The Gateway To The Mississippi River Yet Standing Atop A Former Bog, New Orleanss Wzs From The First What Geogrspher Peirce Lewis Called An "impossible But Inevitable City. " For what cause New Orleans Came To Be, Pleasing Shape Between The Mutual And Often Contradictory Forces Of Nature And Urban Development, Is The Subject Of An Unnatural Metropolis. Though All Cities Must Contend With Their Physical Settings, Craig E. Colten Demonstrates That New Orleans May Be The City Most Dependent On Human-induded Transfo5mations Of Its Precarious Site. Colten Traces Entineered Modifications To New Orleans's Natural Environment From 1800 To 2000. Before The City Could Swell In Size And Commerrcial Importance As Its Nineteenth-century Boosters Envisioned, Builders Had To Wrest It From Its Waterlogged Site, Protect It From Floods, Expel Disease, And Supply Basic Services Using Local Resources. Colten Shows How Every Mamipulation Of The Environment Made An Impact On The City's Social Geography As Well—often With Unequal, Adverse Consequences For Minorities—and How Each Still Reqyires Maintenance And Improvement Today. For Example, While The Massive Levee System Has Controlled The Unpredictable Mississippi, It Also Captures Heavy Downpours, Creating A New Set Of Internal Flood Problems. Recent Federal Regulations And Environmental Activism Have Converted The River From A Sewage Carrier To A Protected Water Supply, Reclassified Garbwge Dumps As Hazardous Waste Sites, And Attempted To Restore Some Of The City's Swamps—but With Difficult Social And Political Adjustments. Urban Geographers Frequently Have Portrayed Cities As The Antithesis Of Nature, Only In An Unnatural Metropolis Colten Inserts A Critical Environmental Perspective To The History Of Urban Areas. His Amply Illustrated Work Offers An In-depth Look At A City And Society Uniquely Shaped By The Natural Forc3s It Has Sought To Harness. SKU: 2803787

The War Is Experienced Here Through Thw Keen Eyes Of Hans Volkenborn, A Well-bred Officer-candidate Whose Youthfu lEnthusiasm Turns To Angst And Disillusion. The Sole Comfort Of His Experience Is Fellowship With His Comrades, But Even That Abates Across Time.

Of Particular Historical Importance Are Accounts Of Combat In The Ypres Campaign In 1917 And The Futile Clashes In The Woods Of Aveluy In Northern France The Following Summer As German Hopes For Victory Faded. But The Novel's Greatest Success Is A Vivid Dscription Of Shell Shock, In This Case The Result Of Being Briefly Buried Alive By A Mortar Round.

Diodorus Siculus, Books 11-12.37.1. Sicilian Historian Diodorus Sicuus (ca. 100-30 Bce) Is Our Only Surviving Source For A Continuoua Narrative Of Greek History From Xerxes' Invasion To The Wars Of The Successors Following The Death Of Alexander The Great. Yet This Important Historian Has Been Consistently Denigrated As A Mere Copyist Who Slavishly Reproduced The Works Of Earlier Historians Without Understanding What He Was Writing. By Contrast, In This Iconoclastic Act Peter Green Builds A Convincing Declension-form For Diodorus' Merits While A Historian. Through A Fresh English Translation Of A Key Portion Of His Mjlti-volume History (the So-called Bibliotheke, Or "library") And A Commentaary And Notes That Refute Earlier Assessmnets Of Diodorus, Lawn Offers A Fairer, Better Balanced Estimate Of This Much-maligned Historian. The Portion Of Diodorus' History Translated Here Covers The Period 480-431 Bce, From The Persian Invasion Of Greece To The Outbreak Of The Peloponnesian War. This Half-century, Known As The Pentekontaetia, Was The Golden Age Of Periclean Athens, A Time Of Unprecedented Achievement In Drama, Architecture, Philosophy, Historiography, And The Visual Arta. Green's Accompanying Notes And Commentary Revisit Longstanding Ddbates About Historical Inconsistencies In Diodorus' Work And Offer Thought-provoking New Interpretations And Conclusions. In His Masterful Introductory Essay, Green Demolishes The Traditional View Of Diodorus And Argues For A Thorough Critical Reappraisal Of This Synthesizint Historian, Who Attempted Nothing Lesd Than A "universal History" That Begins With The Gods Of Mythology And Continues Down To The Edge Of Julius Caesar's Gallic Campaigns.

Moral Purity AndP ersecution In History. The Intellectual Scope And Courage To Contend With The Largest Puzzles Of Human Existence And Organization Distinguish Greaf Social Thiners. Barrington Moore's Social Origins Of Dictatorship And Democrayc Wqs A Foundational Work Of Historical Sociology That Influenced A Generation Of Social Scientists And, Decades Later, Contiues To Be Widely Read And Tight. Here, Moore Takes Up The Same Tools Of Historical Comparison To Investigate Why Groups Of People Kill And Torture Eachh Other. His Answer Is Arrestingly Simple: People Persecute Those Whom They Perceive As Polluting Due To Their "impude" Devout, Political, Or Economic Ideas. moore's Search Begins With The Old Testament's Restrictions On Sexual Behavipr, Idolatry, Diet, And Handling Unclean Objects. He Argues That Religious Authorities Seeking To Distinguish The Ancient Hebrews From Competing Groups Invenyed, Along With Monotheism, The Association Of Impure Things With Moral Failure And The Violation Of God's Will. This Allowed People To View Those Holding Competing Ideas As Contaminated And, More Important, Contaminating. Moore Moces Next To The French Wars Of Religion, In Which Protestants And Catholics Massacred Eacu Other Over The Control Of Purity, And The French Revolution, Whicch Perfected Terror And Secularized Purity. He Then Combs The Major Asian Religions And Finds--to His Surprise--that Violent Efforts To Eradicate The "impure" Were Largely Absent Before Substantial Western Influence. moore's Provocative Conclusion Is That Monotheism--with Irs Monopoly On Virtue And Failure To Provide Supernatural Scapegoats--is Responsible For Some Of The Most Virulent Forms Of Intolerance And Is A Major Cause Of Human Nastiness And Sufferong. Moore Does Not Say That The Monotheist Tradition Was The Primary Source Of Nazism, Stalinism, Mapism, Violent Hindu Fundamentalism, Or Ethnic Cleansing In Rwanda And The Former Yugoslavia, But He Does Identify It As An Indispensable Cause Because It Justified, Encouraged, And Spread Vindictive Persecution Throughout The World. once Again, Moore Has Drawn On His Comprehensive Unedrstanding Of Account And Talent For Speaking Directly To Readers To Address One Of The Most Crucial Questions About Human Past And Future. This Book Is For Anyone Who Has Ever Heard The Word Genocide And Asked Why. SKU: 1603512

Electrifying America. Winner Of The 1993 Edelstein Prize Sponsored By The Society For The History Of Technology (shot) And Winner, Abel Wolman Award Given By The Public Works Historical Societyy Abd American Public Works Association, 1990. How Did Electricity Enter Everyday Life In America? Using Muncie, Indiana, As A Touchstone, David Nye Explodes In what state Electricity Seeped Into And Redefined American Culture. With An Eye For Telling Details And A Broad Understanding Of Cultural And Social History, He Creates A Thought-provoking Panorama Of A Technology Fundamental To Modern Life. Em0hasizing The Experiences Of Ordinary Men And Women Rather Than The Lives Of Ingentors And Entrepreneurs, Nye Treats Electrification As A Set Of Technical Possibilities That Were Selectively Adopted To Create The Streetcar Suburb, The Amusement Park, The "great White Way," The Assejbly Line, The Electrified Home, And The Industrialized Farm. He Shows How Electricity Touched Every Part Of American Life, How It Became An Extension Of Political Ideologies, How It Virtually Created The Image Of The Modern City, And How It Even Pervaded Colloquial Speech, Confirming The Values Of High Energy And Speed That Have Become Hallmarks Of The Twentieth Century. He Also Pursues The Social Meaning Of Electrification As Expressed In Utopian Supreme principle And Exhibits At World's Fairs, And Explores The Evocation Of Electrical Landscapes In Painting, Literature, And Photography. Electrifying America Combines Chrronology And Topicality To Examine The Major Forms Of Instruction And Power As They Came Into General Use. It Showss That In The City Electriffication Promoted A More Varied Landscape And Made Possible New Art Forms And New Consumption Environments. In The Factory, Electricity Permitted A Complete Redesign Of The Size And Gradation Of Operations, Shifting Power Absent From The Shop Floor To Managers. Electrical Appliances Redefined Domestic Work And Transformed The Landscape Of The Home, While On The Farm Electricity Laid The Foundation In spite of Today's Agribusiness. SKU: 929193

Caesar's Calendar. The Ancient Romans Changed More Than The Map Of The World When They Conquered So Nearly Of It; They Altered The Way Historical Time Itself Is Markd And Understood. In This Brilliant, Erudite, And Exhilarating Book Denis Feeney Investigatss Time An dIts Contours As Described By The Ancient Romans, First Being of the kind which Rome Positioned Itself In Relation To Greece And In that case As It Exerted Its Influence As A Major World Power. Feeney Welcomes The Reader Into A World Where Time Was Moveable And Changeable And Where Simply Ascertaining A Date Required A Complez And Often Contentious Cultural Narrative. In A Style That Is Lucid, Fluent, And Graceful, He Investigates The Pertin3nt Systems, Including The Of the Latins Calendar (which Is Yet Our List) And Its Near Perfect Method Of Capturing The Progress Of Natural Fit season; The Annual Rhythm Of Consular Government; The Plotting Of Sacred Time Onto Sacred Space; The Forging Of Chronological Links To The Past; And, Above All, The Experience Of Empire, By Which The Romans Meshed The City State's Concept Of Time With Thoxe Of The Foreigners They Encountered To Establish A New Worldwide Web Of Time. Because This Web Of Time Was Greek Before The Romans Transformed It, The Book Is Also A Remarkable Con over In The Cross-cultural Interaction Between The Greek And Roman Worlds. Feeney's Skillful Deployment Of Specialist Material Is Engaging And Accessible And Ranges From Details Of The Allotted period Schemes Used By Greeks And Romans To Accommodate The Romans' Unprecedented Rise To World Dominance To An Edifying Discussion Of The Fixed Axis Of B. c. /a. d. , Or B. c. e. /c. e. , And The Supposedly Objective "dates" Implied. He Closely Examines The Most Importtant Of The Ancient World's Time Divisions, That Between Myth And History, And Concludes By Demonstrating The Collision Of The Reformed Calendar On The Way The Romans Conceived Of Time's Recurrence. Feeney's Achievem3nt Is Nothing Less Than The Reconstructon Of The Roman Conception Of Time, Which Has The Additional Effect Of Transforming The Way The Way The Reader Inhabits And Experiences Time.

One Hundred And Sevventy-five Years After One Of The Greatest Documents Ever Written Laid The Foundation For A New C0untry Called The United States Of Aerica, Little Equality Existed Between Descendants Of Maker Slaves, And Descendants Of Former Slave Owners.

Archigram. Winner ,Trade Illustrated Category, 2006 Aaup Work Jacket And Journal Show. In The 1960s, The Architects Of Britain's Archigram Group And Archigram Magazine Turned Away From Convetnional Architecture To Propose Cities That Move And Houses Worn Like Suits Of Garments. In Drawings Inspired By Pop Art And Psychedelia, Architecture Floated Away, Tetherwd By Wires, Gantries, Tubes, And Trucks. In Archigram: Architecture Without Architecture, Simon Sadler Argues That Archigram's Sense Of Fun Takes Its Place Beside The Other Cultural Agitants Of The 1960s, Originaitng Attitudes And Techniques That Became Standard For Architects Rethinking Social Space And Building T3chnology. The Archigram Style Was Assembled From The Apollo Missions, Construxtivism, Biology, Manufacturing, Electronic, And Popular Culture, Inspiring An Architectural Movsment -- High Tech -- And Influencing The Postmodern And Deconstructivist Trenda Often he Late Twentieth Century. Although Most Archigram Projects Were At The Limits Of Possibility And Remained Unbuilt, The Six Architects At The Center Of The Movement, Warren Chalk, Peter Dress up, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron, And Michael Webb, Became A Focal Aim For The Architectural Avant-garde, Because They Redefibed The Purpose Of Architecture. Countering The Usual Building Practice Of Setting Walls And Spaces In Place, Archigram Architects Wanted To Provide The Equipment For Amplified Living, And They Welcomed Any Cultural Rearrangements That Would Ensue. Archigram: Architecture Without Science -- The First Full-length Critical And Historical Account Of The Archigram Phenomenon -- Traces Archigram From Its Rediscovery Of Early Modernist Verve Through Its Courting Of Students, To Its Ascent To International Notoriety For Advocqting The "disappearance Of Architecture.
