› Find signed collectible books: 'Ancient Medicine'Book summary:Available for the first time in paperback, this first large-scale, sole-authored history of ancient medicine for almost 100 years uses both archaeological and written evidence to survey the development of medical ideas from early Greece to late Antiquity.
Vivian Nutton pays particular attention to the life and work of doctors in the communities, links between medicine and magic, and examines the different approaches to medicine across the ancient world.
With many texts made accessible for the first time, and providing new evidence, this broad exploration challenges usual perspectives, and proves an invaluable resource for students of both classics and the history of medicine.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Archaeology of Africa'Book summary:Africa has a vibrant past. It emerges from this book as the proud possessor of a vast and highly complicated interweaving of peoples and cultures, practising an enormous diversity of economic and social strategies in an 2xtraordinary range of environmental situations.
At long last the archaeology of Africa has revealed enough of Africa's unwritten past to confound preconceptions about this continent and to upset the picture inferred from historic written records. Without an understanding of its past complexities, it is impossible to grasp Africa's present, let alone its future. [via]More editions of The Archaeology of Africa:

Childhood in the Middle Agesby Shulamith Shahar, Chaya GalaiISBN 0415073294 (0-415-07329-4)
Softcover, Routledge
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Childhood in the Middle Ages'Book summary:Was there really no concept of childhood in mediaeval Europe? Did parents erect defence mechanisms against attachment to their children because of the high mortality rate? In this wide-ranging study Shulamith Shahar considers these questions, as well as images of childhood, attitudes towards children, and the concept of the stages of childhood in mediaeval culture, from the nobility to the peasantry. In doing so, she confronts and criticizes the theories developed by Philippe Aries. Based on a wide variety of sources throughout Western Europe, "Childhood in the Middle Ages" describes and analyzes the material and emotional investment by parents in their children and the ways in which they were raised and educated throughout mediaeval society. It deals with attitudes to procreation, childbirth and nursing, family life, and relations between parents and children, ranging from great devotion to abandonment and infanticide. This book should be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and academics in the fields of social and cultural history. [via]

Collected Works of Karl Mannheimby Karl MannheimISBN 0415060540 (0-415-06054-0)
Hardcover, Routledge
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Collected Works of Karl Mannheim'Book summary:Ideology and Utopia argues that ideologies are mental fictions whose function is to veil the true nature of a given society. They originate unconsciously in the minds of those who seek to stabilise a social order. Utopias are wish dreams that inspire the collective action of opposition groups which aim at the entire transformation of society. Mannheim shows these two opposing elements to dominate not only our social thought but even unexpectedly to penetrate into the most scientific theories in philosophy, history and the social sciences.
This new edition contains a new preface by Bryan S. Turner which describes Mannheim's work and critically assesses its relevance to modern sociology. The book is published with a comprehensive bibliography of Mannheim's major works. [via]More editions of Collected Works of Karl Mannheim:

Deconstruction: Theory and Practiceby Christopher NorrisISBN 0415061741 (0-415-06174-1)
Softcover, Routledge
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Deconstruction: Theory and Practice'Book summary:Since first appearing in 1982 this book has been acclaimed as by far the most readable, concise and authoritative text of its kind. While in no way oversimplifying the complexities of the subject, or understating the challenge it presents, Norris's book sets out to make deconstruction more accessible to the open-minded reader. For this revised edition the author has provided a substantial postscript which looks back over the past ten years of critical debate and seeks to correct some prevalent misunderstandings. The volume also contains an updated bibliography - among the most extensive of its kind - giving details of more than two hundred books published during that period. Some critics have dismissed deconstruction as a harmless academic game; others have denounced it as a terrorist weapon or a discourse of last-ditch nihilist unreason. As Norris demonstrates, both responses are equally wide of the mark. Focusing on Derrida's major texts, and offers a detailed commentary on his readings of Plato, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Husserl, Saussure, Levi-Strauss, J.L. Austin and others, this book brings out the extraordinary subtlety and force that have characterized his project from the outset. Norris also examines the work of those North American critics - Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman, J. Hillis Miller and Harold Bloom - who in their own prolonged efforts to move beyond the old' New Criticism have variously registered the impact of Derrida's thought. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The French Language Today'Book summary:The French Language Today provides a well-informed introduction to the French language from the perspective of modern linguistics.

Responding to a critical gap in the market, the book is both an introduction to the techniques of linguistics as applied to the French language, and a reference work for the more advanced student. The contents of the book arise directly out of courses taught by the authors at the University of York. Written specifically with the student in mind it will thus prove invaluable as a textbook for a variety of language and linguistics courses. [via]

A pesar de los anos transcurridos, los presupuestos y fundamentos historicos que analiza, sobre los que se ha asentado la moral sexual occidental, resultan aun vigentes en su mayoria, y solo en algunos casos en los que el autor acude a ejemplos concretos podrian considerarse superados. En la caracterizacion de cualquier sociedad, antigua o moderna, existen dos elementos de primera importancia: el sistema economico y el sistema familiar. Para Russell no existe una supremacia de uno sobre otro y es indudable que el sistema economico tiene una gran influencia sobre la moral sexual. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Phenomonology of Perception'Book summary:Challenging and rewarding in equal measure, Phenomenology of Perception is Merleau-Ponty's most famous work. Impressive in both scope and imagination, it uses the example of perception to return the body to the forefront of philosophy for the first time since Plato. Drawing on case studies such as brain-damaged patients from the First World War, Merleau-Ponty brilliantly shows how the body plays a crucial role not only in perception but in speech, sexuality and our relation to others. Perhaps above all, Merleau-Ponty's insights about the embodied mind are a bold and refreshing challenge to the new era of virtual reality and artificial intelligence, as scientists and psychologists discover the centrality of the body to mind and intelligence.

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Reader in Feminist Knowledge'Book summary:The "minority" feminist viewpoints have often been submerged in the interests of maintaining a mainstream, universal model of feminism. This anthology takes into account the various differences among women while looking at the important areas of feminist struggle. While sisterhood is indeed global, it certainly does not mean that all women are required to submerge their specific differences and assimilate to a universal model. Consequently, the collection includes essays by leaders in the field of post-structuralist enquiry as well as by those immersed in the new spirituality, and the social consequences of recent biological research. Other essays reflect the political struggles which continue to be waged with different strategies by socialist and radical feminists, and the self-searching analyses undertaken by feminists uneasy about their inclusion within educational institutions and the radical new interpretations of sexuality within the cultural domain. The collection begins with a critique of white mainstream feminism emanating from Aboriginal women in Australia. The implications of the critique indicate that there is a pervasive racism within the feminist movement. [via]
