For two and a half thousand years they have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them, yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists.Barry Cunliffe''s classic study of the ancient Celtic world was first published in 1997.

He investigates the texts of the classical writers and contrasts their view of the Celts with current archaeological findings. Tracing the emergence of chiefdoms and the fifth- to third-century migrations as far as Bosnia and the Czech Republic, he assesses the disparity between the traditional story and the most recent historical and archaeological evidence on the Celts.Other aspects of Celtic identity such as the cultural diversity of the tribes, their social and religious systems, art, language and law, are also examined.

In 20012002, a financial crisis led to its worst economic collapse, precipitating a dramatic currency devaluation, the largest sovereign default in world history, and the flight of foreign capital. Protests and street blockades punctuated a moment of profound political uncertainty, epitomized by the rapid succession of five presidents in four months. Since then, Argentina has fought economic fires on every front, from inflation to the cost of utilities and depressed industrial output. When things clearly aren't working, when the constant churning of booms and busts makes life almost unlivable, how does our deeply compromised order come to seem so inescapable? How does critique come to seem so blunt, even as crisis after crisis appears on the horizon? What are the lived effects of that sense of inescapability? Anthropologist Sarah Muir offers a cogent meditation on the limits of critique at this historical moment, drawing on deep experience in Argentina but reflecting on a truly global condition. If we feel things are being upended in a manner that is ongoing, tumultuous, and harmful, what would we need to doand what would we need to give upto usher in a revitalized critique for today's world? Routine Crisis is an original provocation and a challenge to think beyond the limits of exhaustion and reimagine a form of criticism for the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"By looking at the discursive practices through which members of the Argentine middle class construct and interpret the crisis and its aftermath, Muir shows how a semiotic, language-focused approach can help us to ask new questions regarding social upheaval and its consequences in communities worldwide... a needed challenge to overly optimistic approaches that fail to account for the realities of how people interact with crisis in their day-to-day lives.\" * Journal of Linguistic Anthropology *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eRoutine Crisis \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a novel approach in anthropological studies of crisis. Muir tracks the production and productive capacity of disillusion, and in doing so challenges political anthropologists to focus not only on the possibility of new beginnings, but also on the lived experience of endings. Thematically, \u003ci\u003eRoutine Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to anyone involved in studies of crisis, corruption, or Argentina. The book deserves a broader readership, however, due to Muir’s compelling writing, the way she renders the often-complex tools of linguistic anthropology easily comprehensible, and her impressive capacity as an ethnographer to untangle the messy, often seemingly contradictory ways in which her interlocutors express the experience of disillusion.\" * PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"Argentina’s economic crisis of 2001–02 led its government to unpeg the peso from the US dollar, impoverishing millions. Successive governments sought remedies with varying degrees of success. Muir arrived in Buenos Aires in 2003 and spent several years conducting ethnographic research on the reactions of the self-described middle class to the financial collapse. The result is a compelling analysis of her informants’ 'crisis talk,' their disillusionment and loss of faith in the future. . . .

This book does nothing less than demand we reframe history itself—disallowing comfortable beginnings and endings—and linger in the routines of crisis, querying its aftermaths, and forgoing our obsolete utopias.” * Bill Maurer, University of California, Irvine *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Routine Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning ethnography of the tumultuous lives of Argentineans in economic crisis. Muir’s analytical acumen shines through in her semiotically-informed ‘listening’ to what she calls ‘crisis talk’. She deftly shows us how the linguistic and cultural form of crisis talk produces a normalcy of crisis out of the perennial predicament of political economy in Argentina.

From off-brand products to elevator music, the generic is discarded as the copy, the knockoff, and the old. In The Copy Generic, anthropologist Scott MacLochlainn insists that more than the waste from the culture machine, the generic is a universal social tool, allowing us to move through the world with necessary blueprints, templates, and frames of reference. It is the baseline and background, a category that orders and values different types of specificity yet remains inherently nonspecific in itself. Across arenas as diverse as city planning, social media, ethnonationalism, and religion, the generic points to spaces in which knowledge is both overproduced and desperately lacking.

In appreciation of a figure ahead of her time, it examines her involvement in suffrage and animal rights societies as well as revealing new insights into Edwards' loving same-sex relationships with Ellen Rice Byrne and Lucy Renshaw. In doing so, it reveals a versatile, creative, witty, independent woman, and a true pioneer of her time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargaret C.

The years between 1066 and 1086 saw the largest transfer of property ever seen in English History, comparable in scale, if not greater, than the revolutions in France in 1789 and Russia in 1917. This transfer and the means to achieve it had a profound effect upon the English and Welsh landscape, an impact that is clearly visible almost 1,000 years afterwards.  Although there have been numerous books examining different aspects of the British landscape, this is the first to look specifically at the way in which the Normans shaped our towns and countryside. The castles, abbeys, churches and cathedrals built in the new Norman Romanesque style after 1066 represent the most obvious legacy of what was effectively a colonial take-over of England. Such phenomena furnished a broader landscape that was fashioned to intimidate and demonstrate the Norman dominance of towns and villages.  The devastation that followed the Conquest, characterised by the  Harrying of the North', had a long-term impact in the form of new planned settlements and agriculture. The imposition of Forest Laws, restricting hunting to the Norman king and the establishment of a military landscape in areas such as the Welsh Marches, had a similar impact on the countryside.","brand":"Pen \u0026 Sword Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739966583127,"sku":"9781526724281","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526724281.jpg?v=1720053544"},{"product_id":"book-of-the-dead-becoming-god-in-ancient-egypt-9781614910381","title":"Book of the Dead: Becoming God in Ancient Egypt","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores what the Book of the Dead was to the ancient Egyptians, what it means to us today, what it was believed to do, how it worked, how it was made, and ultimately what happened to it.

From the Qu'ran to Shakespeare, this city with three names - Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul - resonates as an idea and a place, and overspills its boundaries - real and imagined. Standing as the gateway between the East and West, it has served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires. For much of its history it was known simply as The City, but, as Bettany Hughes reveals, Istanbul is not just a city, but a story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this epic new biography, Hughes takes us on a dazzling historical journey through the many incarnations of one of the world's greatest cities. As the longest-lived political entity in Europe, over the last 6,000 years Istanbul has absorbed a mosaic of micro-cities and cultures all gathering around the core. At the latest count archaeologists have measured forty-two human habitation layers. Phoenicians, Genoese, Venetians, Jews, Vikings, Azeris all called a patch of this earth their home. Based on meticulous research and new archaeological evidence, this captivating portrait of the momentous life of Istanbul is visceral, immediate and scholarly narrative history at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is historical narrative brimming with brio and incident.

It is a story of numerous overlapping names, changes that often happened more slowly than the guidebooks tell us.

In 'Istanbul: A Tale of Three Cities' Ms Hughes plays intriguing, sophisticated games with time and space...by making unlikely connections between well-described locations and events separated by aeons, she gives voice to those witchy, diachronic feelings in a spectacular fashion. * ECONOMIST *\u003cbr\u003eOne of the pleasures of wandering the city today - whatever you call it - is in recognising that its layers of history are so enfolded with one another that they are impossible to separate.  This is also the pleasure of Bettany Hughes' highly readable jaunt through its past 2,500 years..Istanbul is still living history.  Perhaps the most moving moment in the book comes when Hughes goes looking for the song of hte Janissaries...Hughes tracked down one of their descendants...Could he remember one of the Janissaries' famous old songs?  \"Yes he could - and out came a fluid, mellifluous prayer, a song from the religion of the road, a song of hope and revolution, of piety and of cosmopolitan human heartedness.

[Hughes] is an excellent, informed and good natured guide...she gets under the skin of the great city. -- Adrian Spooner * CLASSICS FOR ALL *\u003cbr\u003eUndoubtedly timely, because, as Hughes argues, Istanbul is once again central to the European narrative, as a postreligious secularism confront a resurgent religious movement. -- Michael McLouglin * IRISH TIMES *\u003cbr\u003eThe complexity of the city's story is revealed in mesmerising detail in Bettany Hughes's new book. At times her writing feels like a love letter, or a eulogy to what has been lost.  Her compassion for the city and its millions of inhabitants, past and present, comes across from the very first pages.  It is quite rare to read a historical book that weaves research and insight with understanding and love: here is a book written as much with the heart as the mind...Here is an important book that must be translated into many languages - and especially into Turkish. -- Elif Shafak * THE SPECTATOR *\u003cbr\u003eGround-breaking...There has been no recent large-scale history of the city with many names (Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul), which makes this colossal undertaking a notable achievement, coming at yet another turbulent moment in its long existence. -- Roger Crowley * LITERARY REVIEW *\u003cbr\u003eIstanbul has many inhabitants yearning to nurture their grand but asphyxiated city.
