The Tradition of the Trojan War in Homer and the Epic Cycle

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burgess, Jonathan S., PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, Although the Iliad and Odyssey narrate only relatively small portions of the Trojan War and its aftermath, for centuries these works have overshadowed other, more comprehensive narratives of the conflict, particularly the poems known as the Epic Cycle. In The Tradition of the Trojan War in Homer and the Epic Cycle, Jonathan Burgess challenges Homer's authority on the war's history and the legends surrounding it, placing the Iliad and Odyssey in the larger, often overlooked context of the entire body of Greek epic poetry of the Archaic Age. He traces the development and transmission of the Cyclic poems in ancient Greek culture, comparing them to later Homeric poems and finding that they were far more influential than has previously been thought.

The Great War and the Remaking of Global Order The Deluge The Great War and the Remaking of Global Order As I was a big fan of Tooze's The Wages of Destruction, I was really looking forward to this book. In it, Tooze advances the thesis that Woodrow Wilson and, to a lesser extent, his successors were attempting to exert a form of global financial hegemony during the latter half of WW1 as the Entente became reliant on American loans. I can't help but feel that the author bit off more than he could chew-even 500 pages isn't enough space to cover global economic and political development over such a tumultuous 15 year time period, and he often makes assertions that he doesn't have enough time or space to fully explore or explain-perhaps he should have focused more on the American-European relationship and left Asia for a follow-on work. Tooze is at his best when discussing socio-political events, but makes some a few military history errors-he refers to the Imperial German Navy as the Kriegsmarine, a name it wouldn't adopt until the coming of the Third Reich, and classifies the Japanese battleship Mutsu as a cruiser-the later is important because of the Mutsu's role as a symbol of national pride as ship partially paid for by the donations of school kids. I still highly recommend reading it. _ *\_ A brilliant book - it has radically changed my understanding of... A brilliant book - it has radically changed my understanding of the Great War and the peace. He presents a radical reinterpretation of the peace, Wilson and Brest Litovsk. Oceanic - opens a whole new world of thinking about the problem. Amazing, Can't think of a better book that I have read in years. _ *\_ A searing and highly original analysis of the First World War and its anguished aftermath In the depths of the Great War, with millions dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. The heart of the financial system shifted from London to New York. The infinite demands for men and materiel reached into countries far from the front. The strain of the war ravaged all economic and political assumptions, bringing unheard-of changes in the social and industrial order. A century after the outbreak of fighting, Adam Tooze revisits this seismic moment in history, challenging the existing narrative of the war, its peace, and its aftereffects. From the day the United States enters the war in to the precipice of global financial ruin, Tooze delineates the world remade by American economic and military power. Tracing the ways in which countries came to terms with America's centrality?including the slide into fascism?The Deluge is a chilling work of great originality that will fundamentally change how we view the legacy of World War I. Adam Tooze is Barton M. Biggs Professor of History and Co-Director of International Security Studies at Yale University.

To Kingdom Come: An Epic Saga of Survival in the Air War

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mrazek, Robert J., PUBLISHER: New American Library, The breathtaking, never-before-told, true story of a historic air- force bombing mission in Germany. On September , three hundred and thirty-eight B-17 "Flying Fortresses" of the American Eighth Air Force took off from England, bound for Stuttgart, Germany, to bomb Nazi weapons factories. Dense clouds obscured the targets, and one commander's critical decision to circle three times over the city-and its deadly flak-would prove disastrous. Forty-five planes went down that day, and hundreds of men were lost or missing. Focusing on first-person accounts of six of the B-17 airmen, award- winning author Robert Mrazek vividly re-creates the fierce air battle- and reveals the astonishing valor of the airmen who survived being shot down, and the tragic fate of those who did not.

Tradition and Modernity in the Mediterranean: The Wedding as

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Argyrou, Vassos / Vassos, Argyrou / Fortes, Meyer, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The subject of Vassos Argyrou's study is modernization, as reflected in the changing nature of wedding celebrations in Cyprus over two generations. He argues that modernization is not a secular, progressive process that remodels the life of a society, ironing out local differences. Rather, it is an idiom--a legitimizing discourse--in which Cypriots represent, and contest, relationships among social classes, old and young, men and women, city folk and villagers. At the same time, by involving modernization, they are submitting to foreign standards, and accepting the symbolic domination of Europe.

The Mong Oral Tradition: Cultural Memory in the Absence of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thao, Yer J. / Arguelles, Lourdes / Pennekamp, Marianne, PUBLISHER: McFarland & Company, Compiled from numerous interviews, this volume explores the lives of 13 Mong elders. With emphasis on their unique oral tradition and cultural practices, the book discusses Mong rituals, tribal customs, religious beliefs and educational experiences. The main focus of the work, however, is the lifestyle the elders maintained while living in the mountains of Laos. In their own words, they describe their childhood, communities, religious rituals and cultural traditions as well as the ongoing struggle of adjustment to their new homeland. The work also delves into the Mong perceptions of industrialization and the generational conflict that immersion into a literate society has caused. The author himself is a member of the Mong culture and brings a personal perspective to preserving the oral traditions of this unique ethnicity. The work is also indexed.

A Distant Front in the Cold War: The USSR in West Africa and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mazov, Sergey, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, "A Distant Front in the Cold War" reveals West Africa as a significant site of Cold War conflict in the late s and early s. Although the region avoided the extreme tensions of the standoff in Eastern Europe or in the Cuban missile crisis, it nevertheless offers a vivid example of political, economic, and propagandistic rivalry between the U.S. and the USSR. For Africa, this was a critical period characterized by decolonization and the formation of African countries' first foreign policies. The United States and the Soviet Union both hoped to win the sympathies of the newly established states, and Sergey Mazov's book is the first account of that competition, which the Soviet Union lost, largely through ignorance of the region. Mazov presents evidence from previously inaccessible or unknown documents in Russian and U.S. archives, as well as an international sampling of recent scholarly works. The rich historical account pays particular attention to the repercussions of Soviet West African experience on future Soviet foreign policy, especially in the Third World.
