The History of a Home and the Making of a Garden

A comprehensive and richly illustrated history of one of the most important athletic, religious, and political sites in the ancient Greek and Roman world The memory of ancient Olympia lives on in the form of the modern Olympic Games. But in the ancient world, Olympia was renowned for far more than its athletic contests. In Olympia, Judith Barringer provides a comprehensive and richly illustrated history of one of the most important sites in the ancient Greek and Roman world, where athletic competitions took place alongside—and were closely connected with—crucial religious and political activities. Barringer describes the development of the Altis, the most sacred area of Olympia, where monuments to athletes successful in the games joined those erected to the gods and battlefield victories. Rival city-states and rulers built monuments to establish eminence, tout alliances, and join this illustrious company in a rich intergenerational dialogue. The political importance of Olympia was matched by its place as the largest sanctuary dedicated to Zeus, king of the gods. Befitting Zeus’s role as god of warfare, the Olympian oracle was consulted to ensure good omens for war, and the athletic games embodied the fierce competition of battle. Other gods and heroes were worshipped at Olympia too, Hera, Artemis, and Herakles among them. Drawing on a comprehensive knowledge of the archaeological record, Barringer describes the full span of Olympia’s history, from the first monumental building around 600 BC to the site’s gradual eclipse in the late Christianized Roman empire. Extensively illustrated with maps and diagrams, Olympia brings the development of Olympia vividly to life for modern readers.

A Cultural History

Olympia

The self-evident truths of 1776 hover over America's divisions-as inspiring ideals, as measures of how far the nation still must come, as the hypocrisy of slaveholders, as intrusions on local traditions. The revolutionary politics of 1776 turned from securing the rights of Englishmen to establishing the authority of an independent nation. The battlefields of 1776 cast the military mould for the war years to come and gave an enduring symbol of gritty determination. Drawing together the eloquence of Jefferson and the insistence of Paine, the strategies of generals and the audacious tactics of armies on the move and the powerful political movement that transformed colonies into states, this history of 1776 is a leading scholar's distillation of the pivotal events that must be reckoned with two hundred and fifty years after the nation's birth.

Kent State re-creates the divided cultural landscape of America during the Vietnam War and heightened popular anxieties around the country. On college campuses, teach-ins, sit-down strikes and demonstrations exposed the growing rift between the left and the right. Many students opposed the war, and were uneasy over poor and working-class kids drafted and sent to Vietnam in their place. Some developed a hatred for everything associated with authority, while others resolved to uphold law and order at any cost.
 
Focusing on the thirteen victims of the Kent State shooting and a painstaking reconstruction of the days surrounding it, Brian VanDeMark draws on new research and interviews-including the perspective of National Guardsmen who were there. The result is a complete reckoning with the tragedy that marked the end of the sixties.

Discover Hawaiʻi's indigenous culture, history and enduring relationship with foreign nations through a series of fascinating objects.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt;The extraordinary artistry of Native Hawaiian makers and artists past and present is revealed through an amazing selection of objects, including ahu'ula cloaks, exquisitely made by weaving, binding and knotting together the feathers of honeyeater and honeycreeper birds; an akua hulu manu feathered figurehead depicting a god, with a startling gaze that would have been carried in procession on important occasions; and carved wooden bowls inlaid with pearl shell. Prints made at the time record the visit to Britain by the delegation from Hawaiʻi in 1824-6 and evidence the reception they received, while other more recent artworks highlight objects as continued presences and resources for the Hawaiian community today.

A Story of Deception, Despair and Hope

From a necessary act of survival to some of the most disturbing crimes in history to its often sensationalized and misunderstood role in certain cultures, cannibalism remains a fascinating yet taboo topic. Cannibalism around the World features more than 100 reference entries that examine cannibalism from a myriad of perspectives. Readers will discover the important cultural, spiritual, and symbolic roles cannibalism has played around the globe, from the Catholic Eucharist to sacrificial cannibalism among the Aztecs to appease the gods to the practice of some Fijian peoples of consuming enemies killed in battle to absorb their strength. The encyclopedia examines well-known incidents of survival cannibalism, such as the ill-fated Donner Party and the starvation conditions of labor camps during World War II. Entries on high-profile criminal cannibals such as Jeffrey Dahmer are also included. The book also explores cannibalism in written and oral stories, such as the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel and the Native American myth of the Wendigo. Cannibalism's portrayal in pop culture is also discussed. Taken together, these entries offer readers a broad yet highly nuanced view of this controversial subject grounded in rigorous anthropological scholarship.
