In this important contribution to the cultural and educational history of Elizabethan England, Peter Mack examines the impact of humanist training in the use of language on English prose writing. Study of the rhetorical codes and conventions in terms of which the debates of the period were conducted is currently a major area of historical and literary inquiry. Peter Mack provides a wealth of new information, showing how this humanist training was deployed in literary genres and in more practical legal and political settings. Peter Mack examines the impact of humanist training in rhetoric and argument on a range of Elizabethan prose texts, including political orations, histories, romances, conduct manuals, privy council debates and personal letters. Elizabethan Rhetoric reconstructs the knowledge, skills and approaches which an Elizabethan would have acquired in order to participate in the political and religious debates of the time: the approaches to an audience, analysis and replication of textual stru

Reprinted over fifty times, The Chrysanthemum and the Swordremains a classic of cultural anthropology and a brilliant study ofJapan during World War Il. In 1944, when field work ill Japan wasimpossible, Ruth Benedict was assigned by the US Office of WarInformation to "use all the techniques [she] could as a culturalanthropologist to spell out what the Japanese were like."Benedict's piquant observations on the Japanese family, itshierarchical society, tile customs of marriage and \child rearing,concepts like self-discipline and filial piety, and other notableattributes of the Japanese remain relevant today. Benedict waspuzzled about the paradoxes she observed, by a people so ready todie by the sword and yet so concerned with the beauty of thechrysanthemum. By examining isolated bits of behavior and fittingthem into a coherent pattern, she succeeds in sketching the mainoutlines of a society very unlike those found in the West.

The text of this edition is based on the Wessex Edition of 1912, which was revised and corrected by the author. It has been collated with the Mellstock Edition of 1920, for which Hardy submitted final corrections. "Backgrounds and Contexts" provides new and invaluable source material on Victorian Dorset and, in particular, Dorchester, Hardy’s native home and the town upon which Casterbridge is based. Included are six of Hardy’s nonfiction writings, notably excerpts from his essay "The Dorsetshire Laboure" (1883), in which he frankly comments on the social changes he has witnessed in the county. Hardy’s Wessex is further examined in an essay by Michael Millgate, by maps of Casterbridge and Wessex, and by a key to local place names. Christine Winfield discusses the novel’s manu* and its complicated history. "Criticism" collects seventeen wide-ranging assessments of the novel-six new to the Second Edition-from both contemporary and modern critics, including Virginia Woolf, Albert J. Guerard,

A groundbreaking work based on detailed and sensitive readings of travel accounts in Persian, dealing with India, Iran, and Central Asia between about 1400 and 1800. This is the first comprehensive treatment of this neglected genre of literature (safar nama) that links the Mughals, Safavids and Central Asia in a crucial period of transformation and cultural contact. The authors' close reading of these travel-accounts help us enter the mental and moral worlds of the Muslim and non-Muslim literati who produced these valuable narratives. These accounts are presented in a comparative framework, which sets them side by side with other Asian accounts, as well as early modern European travel-narratives, and opens up a rich and unsuspected vista of cultural and material history. This book can be read for a better understanding of the nature of early modern encounters, but also for the sheer pleasure of entering a new world.

The transmission of knowledge lies at the heart ofcivilization. In the ancient world, science drew life from twosources. Master artisans honed their practical wisdom and passed iton from one generation to the next. Elsewhere, philosophers, sages,and divines engaged in debate and lent increasingly complex form tohuman thought. These two traditions--technique and theory--haveserved ever since as the vessels of knowledge and of humanexperience itself. The University , written in a concise, readable style bydistinguished scholars drawn from a wide range of disciplines,brings us the events, the people, the cities, and the institutionsthat gave shape to this vast and absorbing story. The closingsection opens our eyes to fascinating prospects, and makes a robustcontribution to the discussion on the challenges and uncertaintiesfaced by universities today.

A STUDY OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN CHINA AND THE MEDITERRANEAN WORLD IN ANCIENT TIMES是同作者《古代地中海和中国关系史研究》一书的英文版，是作者研究希腊、罗马世界和中国关系的文献资料的辑录和成果集结。 部分辑录和诠释中国史籍所载古代地中海世界及其与中国中原王朝关系的资料。第二部分讨论古代地中海世界与中国北方游牧诸族的关系。公元六世纪之前，中国中原王朝对地中海世界的了解非常模糊，传说盛行。大部分传说竟出诸中国人自己的想象。这表明当时中国人对地中海世界是多么向往！反过来，希腊、罗马史家对中国中原王朝的了解同样十分模糊。同一时期，地中海世界与中国北方游牧诸族之间关系却比较密切。所谓草原之路至迟在公元前7世纪已经形成，商人、使者的往来，尤其是部落的迁徙，不仅加深了彼此的了解，也架起了沟通东西文明的桥梁。游牧诸族没

Immediately after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt sought to restore the honor of the UnitedStates with a dramatic act of vengeance: a retaliatory bombing raidon Tokyo. On April 18, 1942, eighty brave young men, led by thefamous daredevil Jimmy Doolittle, took off from a navy carrier inthe mid-Pacific on what everyone regarded as a suicide mission butinstead became a resounding American victory and helped turn thetide of the war. The First Heroes is the story of thatmission. Meticulously researched and based on interviews withtwenty of the surviving Tokyo Raiders, this is a true account thatalmost defies belief, a tremendous human drama of great personalcourage, and a powerful reminder that ordinary people, when facedwith extraordinary circumstances, can rise to the challenge ofhistory.

The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was simply awesome. What followed them was some of the most cunning and ferocious fighting of the war, at times as savage as anything seen on the Eastern Front. As casualties mounted, so too did the tensions between the principal commanders on both sides. Meanwhile, French civilians caught in the middle of these battlefields or under Allied bombing endured terrible suffering. Even the joys of Liberation had their darker side. The war in northern France marked not just a generation but the whole of the post-war world, profoundly influencing relations between America and Europe. Making use of overlooked and new material from over thirty archives in half a dozen countries, D-Day is the most vivid and well-researched account yet of the battle of Normandy. As with Stalingrad and Berlin, Antony Beevor's gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war. 作者简介： Anto
