Book SynopsisThis comprehensive handbook provides an overview of key theoretical perspectives, concepts, and methodological approaches that, while applied to diverse phenomena, are united in their general approach to the study of lives across age phases.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "This weighty collection of 34 research studies comprehensively examines the 'life course,' defined as '...the age graded socially-embedded sequence of roles that connect the phases of life.' The text's strenghts: comprehensiveness and comparative and historical perspectives. Highly recommended. Reference collections, upper-division undergraduate and above." (S.D. Borchert, Lake Erie College, CHOICE) "Many of the current luminaries or up-and -comers in life course research are included. On balance this is a terrific book. And at 728 pages is is brimming with insights, syntheses, and reference material. (Just for fun, it weights 3 lbs. 13 oz). This book is well worth the price and will be a welcome addition to any library." (Timothy J. Owens, Purdue University, Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews.)Table of ContentsPreface; J.T.

Farrar, Strauss & Giroux-3PL The Last Bohemia
Book SynopsisThe author hasn't forgotten. He moved to a $300-a-month apartment in Williamsburg in 1994 and watched as the area went through a series of surreal transformations. This title is at once a celebration of the fever dream of bohemia, a lament for what Williamsburg has become, and a cautionary tale about the transformations of city neighbourhoods.

Vanderbilt University Press Cartographies of Madrid
Book SynopsisOne of this book's goals is to evaluate the complex ways that Madrid has served as the political, economic, and cultural capital of the Global South from the end of the Franco dictatorship to the present. The other is to examine the city as lived experience, where citizens contest capital's push to shape urban space in its own image through activities of the imagination. Scholars, investigative journalists, political activists, and a filmmaker combine to document the vast array of Madrid's grassroots movements.

Royal Historical Society Imagining Roman Britain
Book SynopsisAn examination of how the Roman past was perceived, and used, by Victorian Britain.The authority of classical texts was challenged in the mid-Victorian era through the unearthing of a very different "Rome" in the material remains under British soil. Developments in archaeology created a new picture of Roman Britain as wealthy and civilized - an image which sat more comfortably with the Victorians' own changing view of empire as they themselves became an imperial power. Changing intellectual ideas ensured that the Roman heritage could nolonger be seen solely as the preserve of the classically educated upper class: excavating with a spade allowed a larger audience to participate and own the Roman past. This book explores the whole phenomena, using archaeological activity in four British provincial towns (Caerleon, Cirencester, Colchester and Chester) to offer an explanation of how and why it happened, and providing authoritative and fresh insights into the way in which Victorian archaeology emerged, developed and altered how the modern world understood the ancient. In the process, it brings to the fore the frequently contradictory and confused ideas about Roman Britain in the Victorian imagination. VIRGINIA HOSELITZ gained her PhD at the Department of Classics and Ancient History, University of Bristol.Trade ReviewA useful and competent study of archaeological engagement with Roman remains in Victorian Britain. It draws on the personal letters and papers of individual antiquarians, the accessions list, minute-books and correspondence files of local archaeological bodies, and a range of archaeological journals and publications. [...] An interesting study which, like the best archaeology, uncovers new material and helps us to understand better the materials we already have. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *Very well researched. * VICTORIAN STUDIES *An interesting study. * JOURNAL OF THE GWENT LOCAL HISTORY COUNCIL *Table of ContentsIntroduction Changing times A question of identity Gentlemen and scientists Isca Silures Corinium Camoludonium Deva Finding the past in the ground The picture changes Conclusion Bibliography
