Free Download Cassandra M. Donnelly, "Cypro-Minoan and Its Writers: At Home and Overseas "
English | ISBN: 1009517295 | 2025 | 94 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Poised as middlemen between the Ancient Near East and the Aegean, writers of Cypro-Minoan, the undeciphered Late Bronze Age script of Cyprus, borrowed and transformed writing practices from their neighbors and invented new ones. Bits and pieces of the script are found throughout the Mediterranean, but there are few clay tablets, characteristic of neighboring scribal-based, administrative writing traditions. Instead, Cypro-Minoan writers wrote on mercantile objects, outside of scribal schools. As the administrative centers of the eastern Mediterranean collapsed c. 1177 BCE administrative writing systems went with them. Cypro-Minoan remained in use, presaging the spread of the Phoenician alphabet. This Element explores the role of writing and trade during the collapse period and introduces readers to the Cypro-Minoan script, its history, and approaches to its decipherment, showing that writers of an undeciphered script can still communicate when we take the care to look for them.

Free Download Antonio Calvo Maturana, "Spanish Laughter: Humor and Its Sense in Modern Spain "
English | ISBN: 1800734999 | 2022 | 390 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Presenting a cultural and interdisciplinary study of humor in Spain from the eighteenth century to the present day, this book examines how humour entered public life, how it attained a legitimacy to communicate ‘serious’ ideas in the Enlightenment and how this set the seed for the key position that humor occupies in society today. Through a range of case studies that run from Goya’s paintings, humor, and gender representations in radio programmes during the first Franco regime, developmentalist cinema of the sixties and seventies, to the transformation of female humor in social media, the book traces the core role that the comical has played in the public sphere. The contributors to this volume represent a wide range of disciplines including gender studies, humour studies and Hispanic studies and offer international perspectives on Spanish laughter.

Merlin Unwin Books | 2007 | ISBN: 1873674074 | English | 404 pages | PDF | 152.95 MB
This Unique Exploration of a weapon used for centuries will fascinate historians and enthusiasts alike. This crossbow, probably forst introduced to England by the Norman invaders in 1066, was once considered so barbarous that it was prohibited as a "weapon hateful to God and unfit for Christians." Tey it successfully defended many an early Briton and its present-day corollaries are used by sportsmen everywhere. Here you will find a comparison of military and sporting crossbow and their dimensions, components, and ranges; hard-to-find information on crossbow construction; details about modern crossbows, such as the popinjay; and the Chinese repeating crossbow. Also carefully considered are the weapons from which the crossbow is thought to have been adapted, including the ballista and similar siege engines. Comprehensively illustrated with original drawings and selections from historical manuscripts, this is an essential reference for the historian, weapon connoisseur, or crossbowman.

Free Download Kostas Vlassopoulos, "Politics: Antiquity and Its Legacy"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 1845118456 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 1.0 mb
Ancient Greece is famous as the civilization which ‘gave’ the world democracy. Democracy has in modern times become the rallying cry of liberation from supposed totalitarianism and dictatorship. And the desire by the western powers, especially America, to foment (or impose) democracy across the globe is one of the most powerful driving motors in present-day geopolitics: not least in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thus, a lively and well informed treatment of the nexus between politics in antiquity and political discourse in the modern era is both timely and apposite. As Kostas Vlassopoulos shows, much can be learned about the practice of politics from a comparative discussion of the classical and the contemporary. His starting point is that the value of looking back to a political system with different assumptions and elements can help us think, and even shape, what the future of modern politics might be.

Free Download Kathleen M Dowley, "Suffrage and Its Limits: The New York Story"
English | ISBN: 1438479697 | 2020 | 177 pages | EPUB | 1281 KB
Suffrage and Its Limits offers a unique interdisciplinary overview of the legacy and limits of suffrage for the women of New York State. It commemorates the state suffrage centennial of 2017, yet arrives in time to contribute to celebrations around the national centennial of 2020. Bringing together scholars with a wide variety of research specialties, it initiates a timely dialogue that links an appreciation of accomplishments to a clearer understanding of present problems and an agenda for future progress. The first three chapters explore the state suffrage movement, the 1917 victory, and what New York women did with the vote. The next three chapters focus on the status of women and politics in New York today. The final three chapters take a prospective look at the limits of liberal feminism and its unfinished agenda for women’s equality in New York. A preface by Lieutenant Governor Katherine Hochul and a final chapter by activist Barbara Smith bookend the discussion. Combining diverse approaches and analyses, this collection enables readers to make connections between history, political science, public policy, sociology, philosophy, and activism. This study moves beyond merely celebrating the centennial to tackle women’s issues of today and tomorrow.
