Assassins: The Story of Medieval Islam's Secret Sect

$11.07

This dramatic and sinister story of some of the most sinister characters in medieval history is expertly written with pace and skill. There is no other general history of the Assassins in print, and this new book shows that the real Assassins were every bit as interesting as the 'Assassins' of legend. Bartlett's study reveals how the Assassin myths have developed over time, and how these myths continue to have an impact on the popular imagination.

Gender Matters: Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Making of the New South

What role did gender play in the secession crisis? How did it affect the loyalties of the civilian population during the Civil War? In what ways did it influence the formation of the Ku Klux Klan? How did it affect labor conflict in the postwar textile industry? Why was the first woman U.S. senator from the South? What role did sexuality "and" gender play in the explosion of racial violence in the late nineteenth century? These questions and many others concerning the critical role that gender played in the major events of the nineteenth-century South and the nation more generally are addressed in this fascinating collection of essays by renowned historian LeeAnn Whites. Together these pieces argue that gender matters not only in the lives of individuals, but also along racial and class lines across the social order. This provocative collection is ideal for classroom use, as it covers a broad chronological scope and range of events in Southern history.

Reading Rhetorical Theory by Barry Brummett, ISBN 015508304X

An anthology of original readings, Reading Rhetorical Theory uses selections from primary sources to track the history of thinking. Two features of this book enable it to stand apart from other texts on rhetorical theory. First, its unique mix of readings blends traditional authors such as Aristotle, Plato, and Kenneth Burke with popular modern authors such as Karlyn Kohrs Campbell. Second, the editorial introductions develop a consistent and unified perspective that allows for differing interpretations of rhetorical theory at the same time that it ties together the history of the subject. Reading Rhetorical Theory is appropriate in graduate or undergraduate courses that cover the history of rhetorical theory by using primary sources to track the history of thinking about human symbolic influence.

The Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century by Mark Mazower, ISBN 067975704X

"A useful, important book that reminds us, at the right time, how hard [European unity] has been, and how much care must be taken to avoid the terrible old temptations." --"Los Angeles Times
Dark Continent provides an alternative history of the twentieth century, one in which the triumph of democracy was anything but a forgone conclusion and fascism and communism provided rival political solutions that battled and sometimes triumphed in an effort to determine the course the continent would take.
Mark Mazower strips away myths that have comforted us since World War II, revealing Europe as an entity constantly engaged in a bloody project of self-invention. Here is a history not of inevitable victories and forward marches, but of narrow squeaks and unexpected twists, where townships boast a bronze of Mussolini on horseback one moment, only to melt it down and recast it as a pair of noble partisans the next. Unflinching, intelligent, Dark Continent provides a provocative vision of Europ's... The Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century by Mark Mazower, ISBN 067975704X

It will appeal to all those interested in the body, ecology and social and anthropological approaches to Romantic literature. Shelley and the Revolution in Taste: The Body and the Natural World by T.
