Book SynopsisItalian Modernism was written in response to the need for an historiographic and theoretical reconsideration of the concepts of Decadentismo and the avant-garde within the Italian critical tradition. Focussing on the confrontation between these concepts and the broader notion of international modernism, the essays in this important collection seek to understand this complex phase of literary and artistic practices as a response to the epistemes of philosophical and scientific modernity at the end of the nineteenth century and in the first three decades of the twentieth.Intellectually provocative, this collection is the first attempt in the field of Italian Studies at a comprehensive account of Italian literary modernism. Each contributor documents how previous critical categories, employed to account for the literary, artistic, and cultural experiences of the period, have provided only partial and inadequate descriptions, preventing a fuller understanding of the

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewContemporary Korean Shamanism is ethnographically based, uses a wide range of sources and materials, and contains extensive interviews with shamans both female and male (Korean shamans are predominantly female). The book does not discuss in detail specific individual rituals or shamanistic traditions, all of which can be found in other sources. It is principally about the transformation of the image of a religious tradition and how this occurred. As such, it is of interest not only to ethnographers, folklorists, and students of religion, but also to scholars concerned with social and cultural change. -- James H.

Book SynopsisDeep within New York’s compelling, sprawling history lives an odd, ornery Manhattan native named Diedrich Knickerbocker. This book invites readers into the world of Knickerbocker, the antihero who surprised everyone by becoming the standard-bearer for the city’s exceptional sense of self, or what we now call a New York “attitude.” Trade Review"A briskly engaging book." -- Christopher Benfey * New York Review of Books *"This is cultural history at its best." * The Journal of American Culture *"Elizabeth L. Bradley sorts, catalogues and deciphers the shifting Knickerbocker currents in a metropolis constantly reinventing itself. She does the sturdy Dutchman proud in a scholarly and polished rendition." * The Star-Ledger *"An engaging account of the city through the fictional Knickerbocker, who was a steady presence 'over two centuries of wrenching urban transformation, from the post-colonial to the postmodern.' ... Bradley is a perceptive and lively writer and does a superb job of tracing the many strands of the Knickerbocker myth. She provides the historical context necessary to illustrate the ways the Knickerbocker brand was invoked and provides deft analysis of the cultural meanings it accrued." * Bookforum *"Diedrich Knickerbocker...gets a history and identity worthy of New York's swagger in this exploration by Bradley of how Knickerbocker shaped the city's identity.

Bradley's analysis of Knickerbocker's significance will be of great interest to literary scholars and historians of the American nineteenth century, and her counternarrative of New York's development will reward the professional and general reader alike." * Clio *"Knickerbocker is a storied name steeped in tradition—one that I am proud to have been a part of.

This study allows the reader to trace both varieties and continuities in this doctrine as it developed in Western Christianity. It balances informed treatment of the nuances in individual figures with a vision of the big picture in which these sources have given rise to divergent strands of tradition and practice. It will serve students well as a reference on both headings. -- S. Mark Heim,Andover Newton at Yale Divinity SchoolA promising, informative, and thoughtful exploration of distinctive aspects of the doctrine of salvation. This work breaks ground by showing the historical roots and hermeneutical moves made by important theological figures which led to particular interpretations of salvation.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Lee Bidgood is the first person to do a serious accounting of the forces, political and artistic, that have contributed to the popularity of this outlier music in this unlikely locale. By putting himself in the narrative, one gets an up close and personal sense of the various aspects of the bluegrass and old-time music wave that has swept across the Czech and Slovakian musical landscapes for years--and still counting." --Tony Trischka, from the foreword "Many readers will appreciate both the high level of insight, and that the text makes its points using only 124 pages. Ethnographic works about contemporary music traditions are needed, and Czech Bluegrass: Notes from the Heart of Europe is a valuable tool, helping those interested in bluegrass music understand the rooting of the style in multiple cultures."--Journal of Folklore Research "Bidgood's personalized analysis adds a significant, scholarly piece to the bigger picture of bluegrass as an international phenomenon."--Bookreporter"This book will be of interest to those curious about the assimilation and adaptation of music forms. . . Readers eager for stories of bluegrass and country music that diverge from the common narrative of these genres being made by and for American Southerners will also appreciate the global approach to these genres." --Journal of American Folklore

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIon Popa's book makes a welcome contribution to the debate on the Holocaust in Romania by focusing on the largest religious confession, the Romanian Orthodox Church. * Journal of Orthodox Christian Studies *Popa's study is a first substantial and therefore crucial contribution to an important facet of the Holocaust in Romania. He uses solid and broad basis of pirmary and secondary sources and careful annotations. -- Simon Geissbuhler * Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas – Redaktion * The Romanian Orthodox Church and the Holocaust is an important book. Its value is found in the fact that it exposes the extent to which the thread of continuity that runs through Romanian Christian nationalist discourse from the 1930s and 1940s, through the communist period, all the way to the present, is sustained by a systematic and organised process of forgetting. It also demonstrates how carefully orchestrated silence and selective remembering of the national past are instrumental in sustaining antisemitic ideas and attitudes in contemporary eastern European society. * Antisemitism Studies *The present book is an important addition to the study of the Holocaust in Romania and also fills a major gap in scholarship on the Romanian Orthodox Church, the country's largest religious denomination. * Reading Religion *Popa has brought to light an impressive volume of archival data unavailable to researchers and the general public until recently. * Holocaust and Genocide Studies *This study presents a wealth of interesting material and the verve and consistency with which the argument is presented makes for a convincing and readable account. As the first exploration of its kind on this politically, socially, and culturally relevant and historically significant subject for an English-speaking readership, it is unquestionably an important contribution to scholarly literature. * H-Nationalism *Table of ContentsList of Abbreviations AcknowledgementsIntroduction1.

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewAn excellent book. A fresh and exciting new take on the opening days of Operation Overlord by a leading Canadian scholar. Milner not only rescues the Canadian army from the obscurity that has enveloped it in most histories of the campaign, he places the Canadians right at the heart of the Overlord narrative, where Allied planners intended them to be: in the center of the line; astride the most vulnerable terrain; and armed, trained, and equipped to shoot up the inevitable German counterattack. As Milner shows in this deeply researched and gripping narrative, that was precisely what they did."" - Robert M. Citino, author of The Wehrmacht Retreats: Fighting a Lost War, 1943""An extraordinarily detailed account of the vital Canadian contributions to the Allied landings in Normandy, Milner’s work completely revises our understanding of the role of Canadian forces in taking and holding a crucial segment of the landing area against repeated counterattacks by German panzer divisions. . . . A masterpiece of historical scholarship from one of the most authoritative voices in Canadian military history."" - Peter Mansoor, author of The GI Offensive in Europe: The Triumph of American Infantry Divisions, 1941–1945""An impressive book that tells a compelling story. Among its many strengths are the broad, deep documentation of both sides of the fight; the gift for combat narrative; and the author’s intimate familiarity with the ground on which the battle was fought.

Book SynopsisThe Waverley Anderson large tartan notebook is hardback, 21cm x 13cm with 192 pages 80gsm FSC acid-free, bound in Anderson tartan. The Anderson tartan's predominant colour is a cool mid blue, and is crossed with red, yellow, black and white. The names Anderson and MacAndrew are connected with St Andrew. The popularity of the first name Andrew and the associated patronymic surnames meaning "son of Andrew" - with MacAndrew used in the Highlands, and Anderson in the Lowlands - means their use is very widespread, and so no exact origin of the names has been established. Gillanders, the Scottish Gaelic form, has the meaning "servant of Andrew". Whilst there is no specific geographical area that is a source of the Anderson clan, the Kinrara Manuscript written by Lachlan Mackintosh of Kinrara in 1679 (and based on three earlier, manuscripts written between 1497 and 1575) contains the claim that MacAndrews came to Badenoch from Moidart c. 1400. Alexander Anderson (1582-1620), born in Aberdeen, was an accomplished mathematician, and published works on geometry and algebra. His cousin David Anderson of Finshaugh (or Finzeach, d. 1629) is most famous for removing a large rock obstructing the entrance to Aberdeen harbour in 1610. For this, and other practical talents, he earned the nickname Davie-Do-a-Things. John Anderson (1726-1796) was Professor of Natural History at Glasgow University. In 1863 William Anderson (1805-1866) published a biographical history of the people of Scotland, The Scottish Nation. John Anderson, Viscount Waverley (1882-1958) was a member of Churchill's cabinet and commissioned the design of the Anderson Shelter, which saved many lives during the Second World War. The motto of the Clan Anderson is "Stand Sure" and the crest includes an oak tree. Septs: Related septs of the clan include: Andrews, Gillanders, MacAndrew, M'Anderson About the notebook: This notebook is made with cloth woven in mills in the United Kingdom. Notebook pages and paper components are made with acid-free 80gsm paper from sustainable forests. Boards used in the binding process are made of 100% recycled paper. This hardback notebook is bound in genuine British tartan cloth with an elastic closure, ribbon market, eight perforated end leaves and expandable inner note holder.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Finalist for the Charles Rufus Morey Book Award, College Art Association""One of the most intriguing works of Ottoman art is an album of calligraphy, paintings and drawings made for Sultan Ahmed by one of his courtiers. As this study shows, it tells us much about patronage, collecting and the interplay of Ottoman and Persian traditions in the 17th century." * Apollo Magazine *"The Album of the World Emperor is a remarkable contribution to the study of the arts of the book, collecting practices, and imperial self-fashioning in the Islamic world. . . . Fetvaci advances a deeply learned argument that places actual and abstract juxtapositions within Ottoman and Perso-Islamic bookmaking and reading/viewing traditions. It rightly presents its material as 'a local manifestation of the interconnected globe.' It promises to traverse some of the seemingly insurmountable boundaries between art historical fields focusing on Europe and the Islamic world. Fetvaci’s exemplary scholarship should therefore inspire Islamic art historians and early modernists interested in contacts and exchanges more broadly."---Sinem A. Casale, Art Bulletin

Book SynopsisChina has recently emerged as one of Africa's top business partners, aggressively pursuing its raw materials and establishing a mighty presence in the continent's booming construction market. Even though Africa has become a popular destination of foreign investment from around the world, China has stirred the most fear, hope, and controversy. Yet global debates about China in Africa have been based more on rhetoric than empirical evidence. Ching Kwan Lee's The Specter of Global China is the first comparative ethnographic study that addresses the critical question: Is Chinese capital a different kind of capital? Conducting extensive fieldwork in Zambia over a period of six years, Lee shadowed Chinese, Indian, and South African managers in underground mines, interviewed Zambian miners and construction workers, and worked with Zambian officials. Distinguishing carefully between Chinese state capital and global private capital in terms of their business objectives, labor practices, manager

Book SynopsisTwilight of Empire is the first book in English to examine the Brest-Litovsk Peace Conference during the later stages of World War I with the use of extensive archival sources. Two separate peace treaties were signed at Brest-Litovsk the first between the Central Powers and Ukraine and the second between the Central Powers and Bolshevik Russia. Borislav Chernev, through an insightful and in-depth analysis of primary sources and archival material, argues that although its duration was short lived, the Brest-Litovsk settlement significantly affected the post-Imperial transformation of East Central Europe. The conference became a focal point for the interrelated processes of peacemaking, revolution, imperial collapse, and nation-state creation in the multi-ethnic, entangled spaces of East Central Europe. Chernev’s analysis expands beyond the traditional focus on the German-Russian relationship, paying special attention to the policies of Austria-Hungary, BulgariTrade Review"For decades, historians have looked at the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk mostly as a symbol of harsh terms imposed on the Bolshevik government by the ruthless German militarized regime. Chernev successfully demonstrates that the alliance of the Central Powers was much less German-dominated than has previously been believed…Chernev has demonstrated convincingly that the Brest-Litovsk moment should be seen as an important stage in the history of decolonization." -- Gwendal Piégais * Ab Imperio, no. 2, 2018 *"Borislav Chernev’s Twilight of Empire is a solid addition to…World War 1 historiography, bringing an impressive variety of language, archives, and sources to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk…There is very little to improve on in Twilight of Empire…This is a fantastic discussion of the conference incorporating perspectives from all the major players. Highly recommended." -- John Fahey * Region: Regional Studies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia, Volume 7, #1, Jan. 2018 *‘This book is of high scholarly value and an important contribution to the history of international relations and revolutionary upheavals in East Central Europe at the end of First World War. -- Johannes Remy * Slavonic and East European Review vol 96:02:2018 *‘This book offers a new way of thinking about the relationships that exist between and among nations and non-historic groups throughout the region, and most importantly provides direction for future research on the topic…. Twilight of Empire should be read by all parties interested in this critical moment in the history of Eastern Europe.’ -- John W. Steinberg * The Russian Review vol 77:02:2018 *‘Essential. All levels/Libraries.’ -- G.P. Cox * Choice Magazine vol 55:07:2018 *"Chernev’s study contributes in important ways to a rethinking of "the end of the war" on the Eastern Front and how Brest-Litovsk prepared the ground for future conflict." -- Robert Blobaum, West Virginia University * Central European History Dec. 2017 *"…this is an excellent, well-written, and well-researched book. It should be recommended to all historian of the Great War, of the peace settlements, and of East-Central Europe in the twentieth century." -- Christoph Mick, University of Warwick * Journal of Modern History, March 2019 *"This is a thoughtful, well-researched and well written work, a credit both to the author and the publisher…The book goes beyond the headlines in detailing the positions adopted by the two main protagonists at the [Brest-Litovsk] talks: Bolshevik Russia and Imperial Germany." -- Steven J. Main, Russian Military Studies Office, UK * Europe-Asia Studies, vol 71 no 4, May 2019 *"The book Twilight of Empire is the work of a young, linguistically gifted, and quite promising historian. It is a well-researched and well-written monograph." -- J-Guy Lalande, St. Francis Xavier University * East/West: Journal of Ukrainian Studies *"Twilight of Empire represents a milestone study in the diplomatic and political history of East-Central Europe, taking a close look at the first and largely forgotten peace treaty of World War I and the circumstances that surrounded its conclusion not only at the peace conference but also internationally and domestically. This approach allowed Chernev to delve into the depth of imperial decay of the major powers in East-Central Europe and explore the origins of the national self-determination concept. From this perspective, Twilight of Empire offers a timely and balanced analysis of the rather overlooked first peace of the Great War that had repercussions throughout the entire short and violent twentieth century." -- Lizaveta Kasmach * H Net Reviews *"Beautifully written and skilfully edited, Twilight of Empire is a valuable and entertaining history." -- Steven Jobbitt, Lakehead University * Hungarian Studies Review *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Note on Transliteration and Place Names Glossary Introduction: A Forgotten Peace Chapter 1: Ostpolitik Meets World Revolution Chapter 2: Peacemaking and Self-Determination at Brest-Litovsk Chapter 3: The Great January Strike as a Prelude to Revolution in Austria Chapter 4: The Brest-Litovsk System and Modern Ukrainian Statehood Chapter 5: Brest-Litovsk and the Elusive Bulgarian "Dream of Byzantium" Chapter 6: The Second Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and After Conclusion: Brest-Litovsk and Europe’s Twentieth Century Notes Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisStarting in the 1530s with John Bale, English reformers found in the apocalyptic mysteries of the Book of Revelation a framework for reinterpreting the history of Christianity and explaining the break from the Roman Catholic Church. Identifying the papacy with antichrist and the Roman Catholic Church with Babylon, they pictured the reformation as a departure from the false church that derived its jurisdiction from the devil. Those who took the initiative in throwing off the Roman yoke acted as instruments of God in the cosmic warfare against the power of evil that raged in the latter days of the world. The reformation ushered in the beginning of the end as prophesied by St. John.Reformers and Babylon examines the English apocalyptic tradition as developed in the works of religious thinkers both within and without the Established Church and distinguishes the various streams into which the tradition split. By the middle of Elizabeth's reign the mainstream apocalypt
