Abstract:

The new men knew how to use the law to pursue their own interests as well as the king’s. They hired talented lawyers to handle their business and deftly chose different courts for different kinds of suits—chancery, king’s bench, common pleas, and others—or arbitration for complex disputes. Several of them acquired bad reputations for abusing their power, but the king and their fellow councillors stood ready to rein them in, most obviously at the fall of Empson and Dudley, but also in the recurrent troubles of Sir John Hussey.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Richard Durham's pursuit of new creative challenges after writing The Greatest. Durham had long talked about writing a book about Aesop—the man whose morality tales known as fables carry his name. Another historical figure who had long drawn Durham's creative interest was a man named Hannibal Barca, also known as Hannibal the Great or Hannibal the Conqueror. However, neither the Aesop nor the Hannibal project materialized. By the late 1970s, Durham knew that the seeds of a growing black political movement were sprouting in his hometown.

Abstract:

This pivotal history of the kings of Sparta not only describes their critical leadership in war, but also documents the waxing and waning of their social, political, and religious powers in the Spartan state. The Spartans have seemingly never gone out of interest, serving as mythic icons who exemplify fearlessness and an unwillingness to give in against impossible odds. Yet most are unaware of the true nature of the Spartan leaders—the fact that the kings maintained their position of power for 600 years by their willingness to compromise, even if it meant giving up some of their power, for exa

This provocative book seeks to answer a most crucial—and embarrassing—question concerning the U.S. military: why the United States is so often stymied in military confrontations with seemingly weaker opponents, despite its "superpower" status. This fascinating book examines a question that continues to puzzle soldiers, statesmen, and scholars: why do major powers—including the ostensible superpower United States—repeatedly perform poorly against seemingly overmatched adversaries? And what can they, and the United States, do to better achieve their military objectives? How Wars are Won and Lost

Abstract:

Abstract Climate change economists have called it “the most important number you have never heard of” and the “holy grail of climate economic analysis.” It is the social cost of carbon (SCC), and its purpose is to reflect—in one dollar figure—the harm caused by emitting a single ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The SCC is an essential concept for environmental cost-benefit analysis, and for the idea of an “optimal tax” on carbon emissions. It is also the subject of fierce debate in the academic literature and in American politics. This book offers the most systematic analysis yet of

Abstract The Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope is among the most celebrated and engaging writers in the English language. His strongly drawn characters and skilful plots are compelling, while his moral judgements are often subtly challenging. He is an entertainer, but his power to make his readers both think and feel is unrivalled. This Very Short Introduction places Trollope’s work in the context of his life and times, drawing on recent scholarship to illuminate his central concerns and literary strategies, including his interests in work, money, marriage, gender, and the law, and his chang

In this chapter, we look at four cases: Genoa, Venice, Portugal, and the Netherlands.

While Genoa and Venice were primarily Mediterranean-centric, Portugal led the breakthrough from the constraints of the inland sea and inaugurated Europe’s Atlantic focus.

If our near future sometimes feels like a dystopian sci-fi movie, that’s because it is. In Come With Me If You Want to Live: The Future as Foretold in Classic Sci-Fi Films, Michael Harris reveals the hidden-in-plain-sight meanings of the greatest science fiction films of the past fifty years, the ways in which they predicted the future that we are increasingly living in, but how we can still avoid the worst of what they warned us about. The 1970s saw the start of a new wave of science fiction that predicted environmental destruction, out-of-control technology, and escalating political crises.

This volume of new essays guides readers through the philosophical and theological significance of the work, while clarifying the complicated ideas that Kierkegaard develops.

Arguably, this diversity of viewpoint should be taken as a challenge to play scholars to explain why the different play theories have developed each in their own way.

Abstract:

Most accounts of Hinduism posit a radical difference between the aniconic fire sacrifice (yajña) and temple-based image worship (pūjā). The historical distinction between ancient Vedism and medieval Hinduism is often premised on this basic ritual opposition. Through an exacting study of ritual manuals, Rites of the God-King offers an alternative account of the formation of mainstream Hindu ritual through the history of śānti, or “appeasement,” a form of aspersion or bathing, developed in order to counteract inauspicious omens. This ritual, which originated at the nexus of the fourth and somewh

Abstract This study reveals the important role that French-language sacred songs, as discursive products written primarily for women, played in the evolution of the Catholic Reform over the long seventeenth century and the need to convert the lay women to a life of piety. Whether contrafacta of secular songs or newly composed texts and music, sacred songs (cantiques, airs spirituel, or airs de devotion) were non-liturgical and written primarily by clergymen. The songs gave voice to various, even contradictory, interpretations of Catholicism. Some texts were educational, some expressed a “femal

Abstract:

‘It has been said by its opponents that science divorces itself from literature; but the statement, like so many others, arises from lack of knowledge.’ John Tyndall, 1874 Although we are used to thinking of science and the humanities as separate disciplines, in the nineteenth century that division was not recognized. As the scientist John Tyndall pointed out, not only were science and literature both striving to better 'man's estate', they shared a common language and cultural heritage. The same subjects occupied the writing of scientists and novelists: the quest for 'origins', the nature of

Abstract The proverbial benefits of prevention over cure are self-evident—and yet we are reluctant to invest in protecting or improving health. Resolution of this age-old dilemma begins with a timeless truth: the benefits of good health come at a cost; prevention is not better than cure at any price. Investment in health protection is more appealing when a high-risk, high-value hazard can be averted certainly, rapidly, and at a relatively low cost. Application of this idea helps to explain why prevention is neglected by health services, why the world was not ready for the COVID-19 pandemic, wh

Abstract:

The nineteenth century was a period of remarkable advance for the Baptists in the United Kingdom. The vigour of the Baptist movement was identified with the voluntary system and the influence of their leading pulpiteers, notably Charles Haddon Spurgeon. However, Baptists were often divided on the strictness of their Calvinism, the question of whether baptism as a believer was a prerequisite for participation in Communion, and issues connected with ministerial training. By the end of the century, some Baptists led by F.B. Meyer had recognized the ministry of women as deaconesses, if not as past
