        EXCAVANDO LA CIUDAD DE DAVID

        by Ronny Reich

        EXCAVANDO LA CIUDAD DE DAVID – El lugar en el que comenzŚŁ la historia de JerusalŚ™n Las investigaciones arqueolĂłgicas llevadas a cabo en los 150 Ășltimos años han identificado a la colina sudoriental de JerusalĂ©n, fuera de las murallas de la Ciudad Vieja, como la Ciudad de David bĂ­blica. El reconocimiento cada vez mayor de que esta colina es efectivamente la parte mĂĄs antigua de JerusalĂ©n ha llevado a muchos estudiosos a excavarla. Desde las primeras excavaciones hechas por Charles Warren en 1867 hasta el presente, catorce expediciones arqueolĂłgicas han trabajado allĂ­, lo que ha hecho que la Ciudad de David sea uno de los sitios mĂĄs excavados de Israel. Equipos britĂĄnicos, alemanes, franceses e israelĂ­es han excavado en el lugar bajo cuatro autoridades diferentes: el gobierno otomano, el mandato britĂĄnico, el gobierno jordano y el israelĂ­ y han producido una asombrosa cantidad de informaciĂłn. Algunos de estos restos son de importancia Ășnica, entre ellos el tĂșnel de EzequĂ­as, el sistema de tĂșneles conocido como el pozo de Warren, la inscripciĂłn del tĂșnel de SiloĂ©, la inscripciĂłn de Teodoto, y el estanque de SiloĂ©. Excavaciones recientes efectuadas en la Ciudad de David han revelado vestigios impresionantes de fortificaciones de la Edad de Bronce Medio alrededor de la fuente de GihĂłn y restos del estanque de SiloĂ©, que datan del perĂ­odo del Segundo Templo. El tĂșnel de SiloĂ© ha sido ahora ampliamente documentado y estudiado. Este libro comienza por una reseña cronolĂłgica de un siglo y medio de excavaciones y de estudio de la colina de la Ciudad de David. Dicha reseña resume la historia de la colina, desde Ă©pocas prehistĂłricas hasta el final del perĂ­odo otomano. Presenta un resumen actualizado de hallazgos arqueolĂłgicos pasados y recientes, muchos de los cuales, que se presentan aquĂ­ por primera vez, han cambiado drĂĄsticamente lo que pensĂĄbamos acerca de la historia antigua de JerusalĂ©n. Ronny Reich excava y estudia las antigĂŒedades de JerusalĂ©n hace ya mĂĄs de cuarenta años. De 1969 a 1978 tomĂł parte en las excavaciones dirigidas por el catedrĂĄtico Nahman Avigad en el Barrio JudĂ­o de JerusalĂ©n. Desde 1995 ha sido co-director de las excavaciones en la Ciudad de David. El profesor Reich es egresado de la Universidad Hebrea de JerusalĂ©n, donde escribiĂł su tesis de doctorado acerca de los baños rituales judĂ­os en la Ă©poca del Segundo Templo. Desde 1995 es catedrĂĄtico de ArqueologĂ­a en la Universidad de Haifa. En 2000 se le otorgĂł el Premio JerusalĂ©n de InvestigaciĂłn ArqueolĂłgica. 27×22 cm, 382 pĂĄginas, ediciĂłn en tapas duras, numerosas ilustraciones en blanco y negro y en color . por Ronny Reich

        David and Bathsheba

        George Peele

        by Mathew R. Martin

        David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

        Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530

        by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small

        This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.

        Made in France

        Societal structures and political work

        by Andy Smith

        How has French society been made, by whom and why? And how in turn has it influenced the French? This book sets out the institutionalized rules and norms that continue to structure France, together with the 'political work' that has recently changed or reproduced these power relations. Exploring a range of age groups and types of social activity, including work, business, entertainment, political mobilizations and retirement, Made in France examines where significant change has occurred over the last four decades. Smith argues that while transformation has occurred in France's financial and education sectors, only relatively marginal shifts have occurred elsewhere in French society. To explain this pattern of continuity and isolated change, the book strongly nuances claims that neo-liberalism, globalization or a rise in populism have been its causes. References to these trends have impacted upon French politics to varying extents, Smith argues; however, France continues to be dominated by issues which are specific to the country and linked to its deep societal structures and history. Smith provides a comprehensive account of French society and politics and in doing so proposes an insightful analytical framework applicable to the comparative analysis of other nations.

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

        Joseph Losey

        by Colin Gardner

        The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the 1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of seminal British films such as "Time Without Pity," "Eve," "The Servant," and "The Go-Between," which mark him as one of the cinema's greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on exile and the outsider's view of a class-bound society in crisis through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from cultural studies and poststructural theory, exploring and clarifying the films' uneasy tension between class and gender, and their explorations of fractured temporality.

        David Lean

        by Melanie Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        'A rule of mine is this', said William Goldman in 1983, 'there are always three hot directors and one of them is always David Lean.' One of the best known and most admired of British film makers, David Lean had a directorial career that spanned five decades and encompassed everything from the intimate black-and-white romance of Brief Encounter (1945) to the spectacular Technicolor epic of Lawrence of Arabia (1962). This book offers comprehensive coverage of every feature film directed by Lean, yielding new insights on the established classics of his career as well as its lesser-known treasures. Its analysis prioritises questions of gender and emphasises the often-overlooked but highly significant recurrence of female-centred narratives throughout Lean's career. Drawing extensively on archival historical materials while also presenting nuanced close readings of individual films, David Lean offers a fascinating and original account of the work of a remarkable British film maker. ;

Duvall, Martin Farr, John Heeley, Andrew Holden, Stanislav Ivanov, Heather Jeffrey, Gabriele Manella, Chris Ryan, Asterio Savelli, Hongdi Shen, John E Tunbridge, David Weaver, Paul F Wilkinson

        This new book reviews all aspects of the phenomenon of mass tourism. It covers theoretical perspectives (including political economy, ethics, sustainability and environmentalism), the historical context, and the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism. As tourism and tourist numbers continue to grow around the world, it becomes increasingly important that this subject is studied in depth and best practice applied in real-life situations. This book: - Is the first to address a range of theoretical issues relating to mass tourism; - Uses a wide selection of case studies to translate theory into practice, covering the historical rise and fall of UK seaside resorts, the increase in Chinese tourism, conflict between different mass tourism groups, destination transformation from mass to niche tourism, and specific problems facing cruise ships; - Is written by a range of international, established authors to give a global perspective on the subject. Finishing with a speculative chapter identifying potential future trends and challenges, this book forms an essential resource for all researchers and students within tourism studies. ; Section 1: Introduction1: Introduction: Mass Tourism in a Small WorldSection 2: Theoretical Approaches to Mass Tourism2: Mass Tourism Does Not Need Defending3: The Morality of Mass Tourism4: The Political Economy of Mass Tourism and its Contradictions5: A Theoretical Approach to Mass Tourism in Italy6: Sustainability and Mass Tourism: A Contradiction in Terms?7: Mass Tourism and the Environment: Issues and DilemmasSection 3: Historical Studies of Tourism Development8: The Dynamics of Tourism Development in Britain: The Profit Motive and that ‘Curious’ Alliance of Private Capital and the Local State9: From Holiday Camps to the All-inclusive: the ‘Butlinization’ of Tourism10: Decline Beside the Seaside: British Seaside Resorts and Declinism11: Mass Tourism and the US National Park Service System12: Transport and Tourism: The Perpetual LinkSection 4: Case Studies in Modern Mass Tourism13: Mass Tourism and China14: Mass Tourism in Thailand: The Chinese and Russians15: Mass Tourism in Bulgaria: The Force Awakens16: Mass Tourism in Mallorca: Examples from Calivià17: Tunisia: Mass Tourism in Crisis?18: From Blue to Grey?

        Issues and Cases of Degrowth in Tourism

        by Konstantinos Andriotis

        The expansion of mass tourism is becoming highly unpopular and 'tourism-phobia', often expressed in the form of anti-tourism marches, is spreading across various destinations. In light of this, there is a paradigm shift from 'tourism growth' to 'tourism degrowth' through a desire for a drastic transformation of the tourism industry. Degrowth is a key strategy to balance tourism growth. It works to ensure that the direction of institutional change and the orientation of technological development are controlled and in harmony with the environment. Degrowth involves people whose use of personal time enhances the richness of the experience through traveling less, more slowly and using low carbon options, taking time to support the environment, the local economy and to explore the local culture. This book addresses the paucity of combined research on tourism and degrowth by presenting emergent knowledge and research on this increasingly important concept. In this book: - The core theme of degrowth from a tourism perspective is outlined. - Content is enriched with contributions from multi-disciplinary academics from around the World. - Theory is put in to practice via international case studies. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the book, the contents will appeal to researchers and postgraduates studying tourism, environmental studies, geography, planning and development and other related disciplines.

        Caspar David Friedrich

        Eine Biografie

        by Boris Brauchitsch

        Ein kindliches GemĂŒt, gepaart mit tiefer Melancholie, ein etwas verschrobener Außenseiter, ein politisch unbequemer Geist: Caspar David Friedrich – geboren in Greifswald, bereits zu Lebzeiten umstritten, nach seinem Tod fĂŒr ein halbes Jahrhundert vergessen, heute der bedeutendste Maler der deutschen Romantik. In seiner prĂ€gnanten Biografie erzĂ€hlt Boris von Brauchitsch, wie Caspar David Friedrich die Malerei revolutionierte, entschieden mit dem KunstverstĂ€ndnis seiner Zeitgenossen brach und mit seinen rĂ€tselhaften Bildern zu einem prĂ€genden VorlĂ€ufer der Moderne wurde. Dabei zeigt er ĂŒberraschende ZusammenhĂ€nge auf, nimmt die Wiederentdeckung und enthusiastische Rezeption des Malers in den Blick und macht anschaulich, warum die Faszination seines Werkes gerade heute – in Zeiten von Wachstumsskepsis und einer RĂŒckbesinnung auf die KrĂ€fte einer zusehends bedrohten Natur – eine besondere Wirkung entfaltet.
