E-book The Medieval Economy of Salvation : Charity, Commerce, and the Rise of…

It was a cold winter evening in 2010, and I had just arrived in Paris for a short research trip. The tiny hotel where I would be staying was on the fifth floor of the ophthalmological wing of the hôtel-Dieu (or hospital) just across from the cathedral of Notre Dame. 1 Given the subject of the book I was in France to research, it seemed appropri-ate that I should s…

E-book Representing Poverty and Precarity in a Postcolonial World

“Precarity is everywhere today”, French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu announced in a lecture in 1997 (qtd. in Springveld 26). “[P] recarity is not a passing or episodic condition, but a new form of regulation that distinguishes this historical time”, American philosopher Judith Butler writes in her foreword to German political theorist Isabell Lorey’s study State of Insecurity: Governme…

E-book A Greek State in Formation : The Origins of Mycenaean Pylos

The Bronze Age in Greece began around 3100 B.C. with the first bronze work-ing for the manufacture of tools and weapons (see map 1). Already in the Neo-lithic, there had been limited use of copper, the essential ingredient of bronze, while stone tools were still essential for some purposes in the Bronze Age. Copper typically was alloyed with tin to produce bronze, but…

E-book Gender: What Everyone Needs to Know®

The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s, when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles"--behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology. Over the last two decades, transgender people have expanded our understanding of gender even further, introducing to the mainstream the concept of "gender identity," …

E-book Archaeological Perspectives on Conflict and Warfare in Australia and t…

Archaeological investigation of places marked by violence such as Ruapekapeka Pa? in northern New Zealand, where both European and Maori combatants died during significant military operations, has contributed to a national day of remembrance (R? Maumahara) to acknowledge that while colonial settlement played a significant role in modern nation-building, so did intrusion…

E-book Relative Histories : Mediating History in Asian American Family Memoirs

In general, I distinguish between four models of the kind of text gener-ally (in publishing and reviews) classified as “family memoirs”. As with all forms of literature, there are no definitive barriers between the forms I clas-sify as distinct. Part of my interest in contemporary auto/biographical writ-ing lies in how writers continually open up possibilities for self-representation throug…

E-book Animal Emotions : How They Drive Human Behavior

Uually, our emotions are strongly controlled. Therefore, we seldom experience situations of raw affect, where emotions simply overwhelm us. This is basically a good thing, because controlling our ancestral emotional urges helps us to respond more appropriately to most of the daily situational demands of our modern society. It is simply not acceptable to always show an emotional response i…

E-book War and Insurgency in the Western Sahara

At a crucial crossroads between Africa and Europe, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and the “Arab World” and the West, Morocco has long had a special place in U.S. diplomacy and strategic planning. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11), Morocco’s importance to the United States has only increased; in 2004, President George W. Bush designated the country as a “major…

E-Book The End of the Book of Numbers: On Pentateuchal Models and Composition…

It has become increasingly clear that Numbers is the litmus test for new ideas relating to the formation of the Pentateuch. At the same time the profusion of ideas has only resulted in a corresponding lack of agreement between scholars. In the present study, Jordan Davis grants significant attention to the geographical references found at the end of the book of Numbers, combining archaeological…

E-book Buddhist Statecraft in East Asia

Perhaps the best way to approach this volume on Buddhist statecraft is with the following observation in mind: the proper functioning of the state is a Buddhist concern. Throughout the history of the tradition, Buddhist have engaged questions of statecraft in their creation and propagation of texts, doctrines, rituals, institutions, and visual cultures. Political actors have, in turn, employed …

E-book Reimagining Urban Nature : Literary Imaginaries for Posthuman Cities

We, entangled humans and nonhumans, are at a critical point in managing environmental degradation, with human-induced environ-mental change occurring on a grand scale. Several environmental problems need urgent attention, including climate change, the sixth great extinction of plants and other animals, and increasing resource depletion in some of the most vuln…

E-book The Train That Had Wings : Selected Stories of M. Mukundan

Before the 1960s, Malayalam literature, whether poetry, novel,or short story, had been dominated by a parochialism centeredon the lives and experiences of Kerala, a small state of palmtrees, trading ports, and paddy fields in southwestern India.Most literary productions from this period in Kerala's historydepicted scenes, people, habits, and conflicts …

E-book History of the Kings of Britain

Whilst occupied on many and various studies, I happened to light upon the History of the Kings of Britain, and wondered that in the account which Gildas and Bede, in their elegant treatises, had given of them, I found nothing said of those kings who lived here before the Incarnation of Christ, nor of Arthur and many others who succeeded after the Incarnation, though their actions both deserved …

E-book The lion and the unicorn

Prentiss had a long lease on the house, and because it stood in Jermyn Street the upper floors were, as a matter of course, turned into lodgings for single gentlemen; and because Prentiss was a Florist to the Queen, he placed a lion and unicorn over his flowershop, just in front of the middle window on the first floor. By stretching a little, each of them could see into the window just be…
