G. W. H. Lampe
The Cambridge History of the Bible

2003 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: The Cambridge History treats the Bible as a central document of Western civilization, a source of exegesis and of doctrine, an influence on education, on the growth of scholarship, on art and literature, as well as on the liturgy and the life of the Christian church and its members. This volume commences the study of the Bible in the West. It begins with Jerome and the Fathers and goes on to the time of Erasmus. Introductory chapters look back and rapidly survey the growth of the biblical canon in the pre-Christian period and the early church, and early Christian book-production. The central portion of the volume discusses exposition and exegesis of the Scriptures: in the hands of the Fathers, in the Medieval Schools, in the Liturgy and in the tradition of medieval Jewish scholarship. The permeation of European culture by the Scriptures is illustrated by themes in art and manuscript illustration, and by separate sections on each of the main vernacular languages, giving special… [detailed...]

Paul G. Bahn
The Cambridge Illustrated History of Prehistoric Art

1998 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Prehistoric artwork is puzzling to modern archaeologists, for its creators are long gone and their purposes obscure. Bahn surveys the field, spanning the continents, from a historical perspective, as he did the broader subject of archaeology in The Cambridge Illustrated History of Archaeology (1996), that is, he recounts how antiquarian approaches of the nineteenth century--just collecting the stuff--gave way to scientific methods of interpretation. For cave paintings and portable objects, such as `Venus` figurines, dating has become very accurate, thanks to stratigraphic and radiocarbon analysis (and helpful in exposing fakes, as one sidebar explains). But rock carvings tend to remain as obstinately undatable as they are ubiquitous, whatever their exact ages, their meanings excite speculation, capitalized on through this volume`s wealth of photographs accompanied by informative captions. Bahn`s final chapter warns of threats to petroglyphs because of their popularity, capping an… [detailed...]

The Cambridge Introduction to Francophone Literature

2007 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: The literature of French speaking countries forms a distinct body of work quite separate from literature written in France itself, offering a passionate creative engagement with their postcolonial cultures. This book provides an introduction to the literatures that have emerged in the French speaking countries and regions of the world in recent decades, illustrating their astonishing breadth and diversity, and exploring their constant state of tension with the literature of France. The study opens with a wide ranging discussion of the idea of francophonie. Each chapter then provides readers with historical background to a particular region and identifies the key issues that have influenced the emergence of a literature in French, before going on to examine in detail a selection of the major writers. These case studies tackle many of the key authors of the francophone world, as well as new, up and coming authors writing today. [detailed...]

The Camel Club

Publisher: Pan Books
Description: The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends most days as a protester camped opposite the White House, his only goal to keep watch on Washington politics and expose corruption wherever he finds it. But the stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of conspiracy-theory misfits known as The Camel Club, accidentally witness the murder of an intelligence analyst. Especially when the authorities seem happy to write it off as a suicide. For Secret Service agent Alex Ford, the suicide verdict doesn`t ring true. Nearing retirement and a comfortable pension, the last thing he should have done is stick his nose where it doesn`t belong. As punishment he is reassigned to bodyguard duties, protecting the President during a visit to his home town. But awaiting them is a terrorist cell that has spent months plotting an event that will shake the world. Meanwhile, intelligence chief Carter Gray, arguably America`s most powerful man since 9/11. is unnerved… [detailed...]

The Camera and the Tsars: A Romanov Family Album

2005 y.
Publisher: Sutton Publishing
Description: The Romanov Dynasty ruled Russia for a little over three hundred years and their story, ending with their tragic deaths, has exerted a lasting fascination. This new book, an album of pictures gathered by the author over many years - the majority of which are unpublished - shows the extended Romanov family. There are formal portraits taken to celebrate comings of age, weddings or other family gatherings, but also pictures of the various members of the dynasty at their ease, or dressed up for banquets, balls or ceremonies of state. Children play or take rides in horse-carts, mothers tend their children, brothers and sisters walk in the gardens of the grand palaces in which they lived - Gatchina, Ilinskoie, the Alexander Palace. The photographs range from the 1860s, when Alexander II was tsar, through the reigns of his son and grandson, to the 1930s, when remaining members of the dynasty could be found in the outposts of Europe. With the beginnings of commercial photography, a new… [detailed...]
