A sparkling biography of the legendary Fulvia of Ancient Rome, described by Cicero as 'a thoroughly rapacious woman'.

Draycott J: Fulvia

The Woman Who Broke All the Rules in Ancient Rome

Cold War History

This book is an&nbsp;historical investigation into the role of the European Community in the overcoming of the East-West divide during the Cold War.

Challenging the Cold War Order in Europe

The European Community and Eastern Europe in the Long 1970s

A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon by Eric King is a searing firsthand account from inside the most repressive prison in the United States, a place built not for rehabilitation but for disappearance.The federal supermax ADX Florence is the most secure facility in the United States, a dungeon of isolation, sensory deprivation, and psychological disintegration. Here, cruelty isn’t accidental; it’s the design. Built in 1995, the “Alcatraz of the Rockies” was made to cage the so-called worst of the worst: bombers, gang leaders, political enemies, and anyone the government deems too rebellious, too inconvenient, or too visible.Among them was antifascist prisoner Eric King, targeted for his politics, brutally tortured by the Bureau of Prisons, and ultimately entombed at ADX after beating a politically motivated federal prosecution. A Clean Hell tells the story of Eric’s decade behind bars: the years of surveillance and retaliation, the years locked in solitary confinement, the reality of being known as a “race traitor,” and the daily acts of resistance that kept him—and others—alive.More than just a firsthand survival story and exposé, this is a blistering indictment of the carceral state and the sanitized violence it tries to hide. A Clean Hell is a crucial document of solidarity and struggle inside the belly of the beast and required reading for anyone concerned with mass incarceration, political repression, or the inhumane architecture of the US prison system.

Anarchy and Abolition in America's Most Notorious Dungeon

A Clean Hell

*An Observer Best New Biographies of 2024*?*Now in paperback!*Celebrated NPR music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of Joni Mitchell in a lyrical style as fascinating and ethereal as the songs of the artist herself.“What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it’s a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her own invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.”—From the introductionFor decades, Joni Mitchell’s life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists&nbsp;of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians—from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile—and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, as—with the other arm—she pushes us away. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting.In&nbsp;Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer’s childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchell’s musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell’s collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after&nbsp;the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life.Along this journey, Powers’ wide-ranging musings on the artist’s life and career reconsider the biographer’s role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so, Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan.Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject.&nbsp;

Studies in Education and Religion in Ancient and Pre-Modern History in the Mediterranean and Its Environs

This volume explores educational practices within the three major monotheistic religions, cultures, traditions, and languages. Through case studies, the contributors illustrate how Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions shaped educational ideals, fostered scholarly communities, and guided students through structured curricula. They examine the role of literate elites in transmitting classical knowledge and patristic authority, and how pedagogical legacies contributed to spiritual development and responded to social and religious crises. Aimed at scholars of history, religion, and humanities, students and general readers, this collection of essays offers valuable insights into the enduring and evolving nature of pedagogical values across diverse historical contexts, and features profiles of influential educators such as rabbis, church fathers, exegetes, mystics, jurists, and polymaths.

Film

Die Geschichte des Kinos ist fundamental von der Ästhetik der Beleuchtung geprägt. In exemplarischen Einzelstudien analysiert Denis Grünemeier das faszinierende Wechselspiel von Licht und Schatten im Film. Dabei zeigt er eindrucksvoll durch die methodische Verknüpfung von Filmwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Bildtheorie, dass Licht und Schatten über die Technik und Form hinaus wesentlich die Essenz und den Inhalt des Films bestimmen. Neben bekannten Regisseuren wie Kubrick, Murnau und Carlos Reygadas sind es die ausgewählten experimentellen Arbeiten Derek Jarmans und die Animationen der Quay Brothers, die den innovativen Status dieser Studie untermauern.

Flame Tree Collector's Editions

Beautiful edition taking the reader through the origins and history of the Chinese and Asian peoples, highlighting the roots of modern fiction in history, myth and fable. The events of China's history and origins of its society are inextricably linked to its varied mythology and folklore, reflecting the warring dynasties and the vast landscapes of the country, where distant mountains, and long, winding rivers dominated the sight-lines of ancient peoples. A brand new, highly readable history by Scott Crawford, Chinese Ancient Origins surveys the events, cultural practices, political developments, beliefs, key individuals and roots of ancient China, from the earliest known prehistory through the collapse of the Qin dynasty (206 BCE). This span of history allows the reader to follow a clear line from the origin of humanity in China to the incipient forms of organization, then onward to feudalism and to the founding of the imperial era – a form of government persisting into the twentieth century. An ideal companion to Flame Tree's Chinese Myths &amp; Legends. Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new Introduction and a Glossary of Terms or lists of Ancient Leaders.

Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung

Die&nbsp;Zeitschrift für archäologische Aufklärung&nbsp;setzt sich zum Ziel, die Aktualität antiker Artefakte zu demonstrieren. Sie präzisiert Konzepte antiker Dingwelten, ihre Mechanismen sowie Regelsysteme und sucht im Trümmerhaufen der griechisch-römischen Antike nach Lösungen für die Aporien der Gegenwart. Heft 4 widmet sich dem Begriff der Maske, der&nbsp;archäologische und ethnologische Objekte wie Theatermasken, Ahnenmasken und Maskenbilder umgreift. Dabei verweist er auf&nbsp;ein anthropologisches und technologisches Grundphänomen: jene bunte Instanz, die sich zwischen Subjekt und Objekt, zwischen Mensch und Mensch, zwischen Mensch und Maschine schiebt. Welche verschlungenen Pfade führen von den antiken und prähistorischen Masken durch das Labyrinth der westlichen und östlichen Traditionen in unsere digital maskierten Welten? Steckt hinter dem Phänomen der Maske womöglich der Hermes Trismegistos unserer technisierten, materialistischen und gegenwartsverliebten Zivilisation - der uralte, dämonische Ver- und Enthüller in seinem neuesten Kleid, der digitalen Hermeneutik?

Regensburger Beiträge zur Digitalisierung des Gesundheitswesens

Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung bringt die komplexen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Pflege, Kultur und Gesellschaft durcheinander. Die Beiträger*innen zeigen, dass in der Pflege ein Kulturwandel in vollem Gange ist, der die Entwicklung einer kultursensiblen Pflege erfordert. Neben den Auswirkungen&nbsp;der neuen Technologien beleuchten sie auch die Themen Migration und&nbsp;darauf aufbauende Machtstrukturen und bieten so eine umfassende, interdisziplinäre Einführung in die modernen Herausforderungen der Pflege, die nicht nur für Wissenschaftler*innen interessant ist, sondern auch praxisbezogene Fragen aufgreift.&nbsp;

Pflegekultur im Wandel

A silent revolution is underway in India today. Starting in 2020, twelve states have rolled out unconditional cash transfers to nearly 118 million women. While the media disparages these transfers as 'freebies', Wages for Housework: India's Experiment with Unconditional Cash Transfers to Women offers the first book-length study of these transfers, using social reproduction feminism, particularly the wages for housework campaign, to theorize unconditional cash transfers as providing economic recognition of women's unpaid domestic and care work. Against the backdrop of a low female labour force participation rate, a residual welfare regime, and an entrenched culture of gendered familialism wherein women are presumed responsible for care, the book addresses arguments for and against unconditional cash transfers in feminist economics and welfare theory. In doing so, it recollects the vision of the founding mothers of the Indian Constitution who advocated for the recognition of women's unpaid work. It traces how Indian courts have, since Independence, treated women's unpaid domestic and care work as being on par with an occupation to hold that the economic recognition of unpaid work is a step towards the constitutional vision of equality and dignity. Through an in-depth study of unconditional cash transfers in three states, namely, Goa, Assam, and West Bengal (implemented in 2013, 2020, and 2021, respectively), Kotiswaran elaborates on state-specific welfare regimes and analyses the implementation of cash transfers through interviews with bureaucrats, academics, feminist activists, and women beneficiaries to understand if and how they have resulted in women's empowerment, whether in terms of education, paid employment, or the gendered division of labour. In conclusion, the work posits that unconditional cash transfers represent an unprecedented and welcome expansion of the Indian welfare regime and to be truly gender transformative, they need to be embedded in a broader feminist agenda for care.
