Описание:
Dress became a testing ground for masculine ideals in Renaissance Italy. With the establishment of the ducal regime in Florence in 1530, there was increasing debate about how to be a nobleman. Was fashionable clothing a sign of magnificence or a source of mockery? Was the graceful courtier virile or effeminate? How could a man dress for court without bankrupting himself? This book explores the whole story of clothing, from the tailor's workshop to spectacular court festivities, to show how the male nobility in one of Italy's main textile production centers used their appearances to project social, sexual, and professional identities.
Sixteenth-century male fashion is often associated with swagger and ostentation but this book shows that Florentine clothing reflected manhood at a much deeper level, communicating a very Italian spectrum of male virtues and vices, from honor, courage, and restraint to luxury and excess. Situating dress at the heart of identity formation, Currie traces these codes through an array of sources, including unpublished archival records, surviving garments, portraiture, poetry, and personal correspondence between the Medici and their courtiers. Addressing important themes such as gender, politics, and consumption, Fashion and Masculinity in Renaissance Florence sheds fresh light on the sartorial culture of the Florentine court and Italy as a whole.

Описание: The Battle of Waterloo has been studied and dissected so extensively that one might assume little more on the subject could be discovered. Now historian Peter Hofschr?er brings forward a long-repressed commentary written by Carl von Clausewitz, the author of On War.Clausewitz, the Western world’s most renowned military theorist, participated in the Waterloo campaign as a senior staff officer in the Prussian army. His appraisal, offered here in an up-to-date and readable translation, criticized the Duke of Wellington’s actions. Lord Liverpool sent his translation of the manuscript to Wellington, who pronounced it a “lying work.” The translated commentary was quickly buried in Wellington’s private papers, where it languished for a century and a half. Now published for the first time in English, Hofschr?er brings Clausewitz’s critique back into view with thorough annotation and contextual explanation.Peter Hofschr?er, long recognized as a leading scholar of the Napoleonic Wars, shows how the Duke prevented the account’s publication during his lifetime-a manipulation of history so successful that almost two centuries passed before Clausewitz’s work reemerged, finally permitting a reappraisal of key events in the campaign. In addition to translating and annotating Clausewitz’s critique, Hofschr?er also includes an order of battle and an extensive bibliography.

Описание: The medieval period was a great era of innovation in military technology, some of which was home-grown, but much more came from the Byzantine and Islamic worlds and the Far East. This well-illustrated guide to the technological improvements and new techniques and devices in military engineering between AD585 and 1385 draws on textual descriptions and pictorial evidence as its source. Describing and explaining such machines as the giant crossbow, the counterweight trebuchet and dropping and incendiary devices, David Nicolle enters into the mechanism-minded world' of medieval western Europe. Includes many great drawings by Sam Thompson.

Описание: Medical schools seem increasingly to be filling rare positions in the humanities and social sciences with ethicists. In their analyses of complex situations, ethicists often appear grandly oblivious to the social and cultural context in which these occur, and indeed to empirical referents of any sort.

Автор: Lee, Dr Rebekah (goldsmiths, University Of London, Uk) Название: Health, healing and illness in african history ISBN: 1474254373 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781474254373 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 3800.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: In this book, Rebekah Lee offers a critical introduction to the diverse history of health, healing and illness in sub-Saharan Africa from the 1800s to the present day. Its focus is not simply on disease but rather on how illness and health were understood and managed: by healthcare providers, African patients, their families and communities.
Through a sustained interdisciplinary approach, Lee brings to the foreground a cast of actors, institutions and ideas that both profoundly and intimately shaped African health experiences and outcomes. This book guides the reader through a wide range of historical source material, and highlights the theoretical and methodological innovations which have enriched this scholarship.
Part One delivers a concise historical overview of African health and illness from the long 'pre-colonial' past through the colonial period and into the present day, providing an understanding of broad patterns - of major disease challenges, experiences of illness, and local and global health interventions - and their persistence or transformation across time. Part Two adopts a 'case study' approach, focusing on specific health challenges in Africa - HIV/AIDS, mental illness, tropical disease and occupational disease - and their unfolding across time and space.
Health, Healing and Illness in African History is the first wide-ranging survey of this key topic in African history and the history of health and medicine, and the ideal introduction for students.

Описание: When one thinks about southwestern archaeology, multistoried villages and cliff-dwellings often come to mind. But on the eastern periphery of the Southwest, other types of villages once thrived. In this volume, Jamie Clark and John Speth document the lives and lifeways of the people who inhabited two of these villages - Henderson and Bloom Mound.
