The Baltic Origins of Homer`s Epic Tales: The Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Migration of Myth

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Compelling evidence that the events of Homer`s Iliad and Odyssey took place in the Baltic and not the Mediterranean • Reveals how a climate change forced the migration of a people and their myth to ancient Greece • Identifies the true geographic sites of Troy and Ithaca in the Baltic Sea and Calypso`s Isle in the North Atlantic Ocean For years scholars have debated the incongruities in Homer`s Iliad and Odyssey , given that his descriptions are at odds with the geography of the areas he purportedly describes. Inspired by Plutarch`s remark that Calypso`s Isle was only five days sailing from Britain, Felice Vinci convincingly argues that Homer`s epic tales originated not in the Mediterranean, but in the northern Baltic Sea. Using meticulous geographical analysis, Vinci shows that many Homeric places, such as Troy and Ithaca, can still be identified in the geographic landscape of the Baltic. He… [detailed...]

The Baltic and North Seas (Seas in History)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Baltic and North Seas are great seafaring regions with rich and varied histories, intricately linked by maritime trade for centuries. Drawing on the enormous variety of maritime experience in the region, this book challenges the assertion that therewas a common maritime culture on the shores of these northern seas. In a region suffering tortuous extremes of climate, the rich and varied history is a consequence of the enormous adaptability of its peoples. Commencing with the end of the Ice Age, The Baltic and North Seas includes coverage of the power struggles of the region from the early traders and raiders, through the merchants, princes and pirates of the Middle Ages to the era of Great Power politics, trade and fishing, ships and shipbuilding, the art of navigation, maritime women and gender roles, and the power of seas and land reclamation. Here is the first comprehensive history of the mysterious northern seas. [detailed...]

The Banana Dispute : An Economic and Legal Analysis (Europainstitut Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien Schriftenreihe / Europainstitut Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien Publication Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe “Banana dispute” represents one of the central cases in international trade. It has led to several precedents on the international (WTO), EC and national level. It thus constitutes the mandatory starting point for any in-depth study of the WTO system and transatlantic trade relations. Moreover, this dispute casts new light on classic issues of European law, especially the relationship of EC, national law and state liability. This treatise is the most comprehensive and easily accessible one published up to now. The study is supplemented by an economic analysis of the welfare effects of the EC banana import regime for the EC domestic market, and interdisciplinary conclusions for future amendments of the WTO enforcement system. This book will be of equal interest to practitioners, academics and students of international economic relations. [detailed...]

The Banana: Empires, Trade Wars, and Globalization (At Table)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The banana is the world’s most important fresh fruit commodity. Little more than a century old, the global banana industry began in the late 1880s as a result of technological advances such as refrigerated shipping, which facilitated the transportation of this highly perishable good to distant markets. Since its inception the banana industry has been fraught with controversy, exhibiting many of the issues underlying the basic global economic relations that first emerged in the era of European colonialism. Perhaps more than any other agricultural product, the banana reflects the evolution of the world economy. At each stage changes in the global economy manifested themselves in the economic geography of banana production and trade. This remains true today as neoliberal imperatives drive the globalization process and mandate freer trade, influencing the patterns of the transatlantic banana trade. The Banana demystifies the banana trade and its path toward globalization. It reviews… [detailed...]

Description: The Bank of England`s imminent tercentenary (July 1994), coming as it does with the future status of the Bank a subject of much discussion, is an apposite moment to offer an overview of the Bank`s history as a whole. This collection of essays is the first attempt to identify the most important themes of the institution`s history and put them in a long-term perspective.

In addition, in a piece likely to cause considerable interest, the Deputy Governor (Rupert Pennant Rea) will be looking at all these themes in a contmporary light and offering some thoughts about the Bank`s future. Added value is given by two main appendices: a detailed chronology of the Bank`s history, and a comprehensive listing of its governors, directors, and senior officials. In sum,… [detailed...]

The Bank of the United States and the American Economy: (Contributions in Economics and Economic History)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: An account of the history, structure, and operation of the First and Second Banks of the United States, this study examines how the banks performed as national and central institutions, and what happened to the economy when the charter of the Second Bankwas allowed to expire in 1836. Historians have paid little recent attention to the early history of central banking in the United States, and many Americans believe that the Federal Reserve, created in 1913, was our first central bank. The economic crisis during the American Revolution actually led to the founding of a national bank, called the Bank of North America, during the period of Confederation. Although it became a private bank before the Constitution was ratified in 1788, it proved to be such a success that in 1791 Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, was able to convince President Washington that a similar bank should be established.

The Banquet: Dining in the Great Courts of Late Renaissance Europe

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
Description: The importance of the banquet in the late Renaissance is impossible to overlook. Banquets showcased a host`s wealth and power, provided an occasion for nobles from distant places to gather together, and even served as a form of political propaganda. But what was it really like to cater to the tastes and habits of high society at the banquets of nobles, royalty, and popes? What did they eat and how did they eat it? In The Banquet, Ken Albala covers the transitional period between the heavily spiced and colored cuisine of the Middle Ages and classical French haut cuisine. This development involved increasing use dairy products, a move toward lighter meats such as veal and chicken, increasing identification of national food customs, more sweetness and aromatics, and a refined aesthetic sense, surprisingly in line with the late Renaissance styles found in other arts.
