Publisher: —
Description: `One of the most moving and compelling human stories to emerge out of the graphic story medium.`?Alan Moore This award-winning tale, set in the height of the Great Depression, received rave reviews long before graphic novels became the phenomenon they are today.

Kingship and Crown Finance under James VI and I, 1603-1625 (Royal Historical Society Studies in History New Series)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book rejects outright the stereotypical image of James VI and I as mindlessly extravagant and integrates crown finance with James`s kingship. It offers both a fresh view of crown finance - one of the blackest elements in James`s historical reputation - and a reconstruction of how the king who wrote on divine right monarchy operated his kingship in practice. Drawing on both his humanist education, particularly his reading of Xenophon`s Cyropaedia, and his kingship in Scotland, James developed a clear, considered agenda for crown finance. He used it consciously to underwrite his novel position as the first king of `Great Britain` and to consolidate the Stuart dynasty outside of Scotland. This study analyses in detail how James fashioned and refashioned political regimes in England to further this agenda between 1603-25. JOHN CRAMSIE is Assistant Professor of British and Irish History at Union College, Schenectady, New York. [detailed...]

Anne F. Broadbridge
Kingship and Ideology in the Islamic and Mongol Worlds

2008 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: What were the attitudes to diplomacy and kingship in the medieval Islamic world? Anne Broadbridge examines struggles over ideology in the Middle East and Central Asia from 1260 to 1405. She explores two very different ideological worlds: the Islamic world of the Mamluk Sultans of Egypt and Syria, and the Mongol world inhabited by the Golden Horde in Central Asia, the Ilkhanids in Iran and Anatolia, the Ilkhanids` successors, and Temur. The relationships among these rival rulers were often highly charged, and diplomatic missions were exchanged in an effort to promote each ruler`s ideology. This is the first book to explore what it meant to be a monarch in the pre-modern Islamic world, and how ideas about sovereignty evolved across the period. This groundbreaking work will appeal to scholars of Middle Eastern and Central Asian history, Mongol history, and Islamic history, as well as historians of diplomacy and ideology. [detailed...]

Spanning six decades from his childhood in the early 1900s to his death in 1956, the film turns the microscope on the man whose landmark studies on the sexual behaviors of the common manrocked a nation. The interviewer of tens of thousands, Kinsey subjected his own life and that of his researchers to the same type of analysis that produced his 1948 bestselling book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. But while the Kinsey team`s focus waspredominantly outward, perhaps what they learned about themselves was as great as that which they taught their country. In addition to Liam Neeson, the cast includes Laura Linney ( You Can Count on Me, Love Actually, Mystic River… [detailed...]

2009 y.

Description: The first biography of Kipling`s younger years: his Indian childhood, abandonment in England, and coming of age as a writer. Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865 and spent his early years there, before being sent to England at the age of six, where he was desperately unhappy. Charles Allen`s great-grandfather brought the sixteen-year-old Kipling back to India to work on The Civil and Military Gazette, and thus began young Rudyard`s literary career. He arrived in Bombay on October 18, 1882—`a prince entering his kingdom`—and for the next seven years, his writing established him as a popular and critical, though sometimes controversial, success. Allen has written a brilliant account of these formative years—as a child in India, his unhappy years in England, and his coming of age back `home` in Bombay. In this tale of family and Empire, Allen traces the Indian experiences of Kipling`s parents, Lockwood and Alice, and reveals what kind of culture the young writer was born into… [detailed...]

Kirchner and the Berlin Street

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner`s remarkable series of paintings known as the Berlin Street Scenes is a highpoint of the artist`s work and a milestone of German Expressionism. Kirchner moved from Dresden to Berlin in 1911, and it was there, immersed in the vitality of a teeming city and under the looming shadow of imminent world war, that he created the Street Scenes in a burst of creative energy and ambition. Berlin was at this time undergoing rapid growth, and as Kirchner absorbed the crowds and energy of city life, his work responded with acute perspective, jagged brushstrokes and searing color. As the most extensive consideration of these paintings in English, this richly illustrated volume examines the creative process undertaken by the artist as he explored his themes through various media and presents a major body of related work including drawings, pen-and-ink studies, pastels, etchings, woodcuts and lithographs. It also investigates the significance of the streetwalker as the dominant… [detailed...]
