IN ISHMAELS HOUSE

THE CLASSICAL
TRADITION
Edited by Anthony Grafton, Glenn W.
Most & Salvatore Settis

A History of Jews in Muslim Lands


Martin Gilbert

Arranged alphabetically from Academy


to Zoology, the essaysdesigned and
written to serve scholars, students, and
the general reader alikeshow how the
Classical tradition has shaped human
endeavours from art to government,
mathematics to medicine, drama to
urban planning, legal theory to popular
culture. It beautifully illuminates the
vitality of the Classical tradition that
still surrounds us today.

Relationships between Jews and


Muslims have known many flashpoints,
affecting stability in the Middle East
and with consequences around the
globe. In this book, Martin Gilbert
challenges the standard media portrayal,
presenting instead a fascinating account
of hope, opportunity, fear and terror that
have characterised these two people
throughout the 1,400 years of their
entwined history. Harking back to the
Biblical story of Ishmael and Isaac,
Gilbert takes the reader from the origins
of the fraught relationship through the
ages of the Crusader reconquest of the
Holy Land and the great Muslim
sultanates to the present day. Drawing
on Jewish, Christian and Muslim
sources, In Ishmaels House uncovers
the human voice of this centuries-old
conflict. Ultimately, Gilberts moving
account of mutual tolerance between
Muslims and Jews provides a
perspective on current events and a
template for the future.

How do we get from the polis to the


police? Or from Odysseus sirens to an
ambulance? The legacy of ancient
Greece and Rome has been imitated,
resisted, misunderstood, and reworked
by every culture that followed. In this
volume, some 500 articles by a wide
range of scholars investigate the
afterlife of this rich heritage in the fields
of
literature,
philosophy,
art,
architecture, history, politics, religion,

EUROPE AND THE

Eric R. Wolf

TUAMAKA
The Challenge of Difference
in Aotearoa New Zealand
Joan Metge

This book considers the Third


World places and peoples that
get studied by anthropologists,
and explores the influence
European history has had on
them from 1400 to the present.
Wolf asserts that anthropology
must pay more attention to
history when looking at the
way European expansion
affected non-European
societies.

How can a nation turn the


challenge of difference into
one of its great national assets?
In Tuamaka, New Zealands
leading anthropologist delivers
an engaging manifesto for
living together in Aotearoa.
Metge identifies the Treaty, the
words, and the stories with
which all New Zealanders can
gain the strength that comes
from twining people and ideas
together.

RECONSIDERING
GRME
Edited by Scott Allan & Mary
Morton

The sea, the Dutch landscape,


and simple country life were
sources of inspiration for a
group of 19th century painters
who became known as the
Hague School. With highlights
such as Children of the Sea
by Jozef Israls and The
Truncated Mill by Jacob
Maris, the Rijksmuseum owns
one of the foremost collections
of paintings and watercolours
of the Hague School.

ISBN

Jean-Lon Grme (18241904) was an undisputed


professional success during his
lifetime. From the outset,
however, his success met with
critical hostility. The essays in
this book challenge critical
biases against the artist and
suggest new avenues of
research. They suggest that we
are just beginning to learn how
to read Grmes paintings
in their full complexity.

HENDRICK AVERCAMP
Master of the Ice Scene
Edited by Pieter Roelofs

DONALD JUDD
Specifics
David Raskin

Hendrick Avercamp (15851634) was the first artist to


specialise in painting winter
landscapes that feature people
enjoying themselves on the ice.
In this book, the authors
explore every aspect of
Avercamps work, from the
weather conditions prevalent at
the time to details of the
clothes worn by the figures in
his crowded scenes.

This title addresses the whole


breadth of Donald Judds
practices. Drawing on
documents found in nearly
twenty archives, David Raskin
explains why some of Judds
works of art seem startlingly
ephemeral while others remain
insistently physical. He also
examines Judds commitment
to empirical values and his
political activism.

The Chinati Foundation is


widely considered one of the
worlds most important
destinations for experiencing
large-scale contemporary art. It
was founded by Donald Judd,
whose specific ambition was to
present a number of permanent

inextricably linked to the
surrounding landscape. This
book provdes a comprehensive
presentation of the Chinati
collection.

What is still life? We are


familiar with the objects
portrayed but have difficulty
explaining the essence of this
popular art form. In this book,
Erika Langmuir examines the
special fascination of still life,
and what distinguishes it from
other categories of painting.
She discusses its evolution
from the wall paintings of
antiquity, through its revival in
the age of Caravaggio and
Velazquez, and again in the
works of Cezanne and Picasso.

AN ATLAS OF THE
PENINSULAR WAR, 18081814
Ian Robertson

FIRES OF FAITH
Catholic England under
Mary Tudor
Eamon Duffy

This is the first comprehensive


modern atlas of the Peninsular
War, the series of campaigns in
Spain and Portugal between
Napoleonic France and British
forces commanded by the
Duke of Wellington. Here, a
distinguished military historian
examines and explains the
sequence of battles and the
course of the war through
expertly drawn cartography.

The reign of Mary Tudor has


been remembered as an era of
sterile repression, when a
reactionary monarch launched
a doomed attempt to reimpose
Catholicism on an unwilling
nation. A major reassessment
of the reign of Mary Tudor,
this book argues that Marys
regime was neither inept nor
backward-looking.

THE WARS OF THE


ROSES
Michael Hicks

THE LAST UTOPIA


Human Rights in History
Samuel Moyn

The Wars of the Roses (145585) were a major turning point


in English history. In this title,
Michael Hicksa world
authority on the Wars of the
Rosesexamines the difficult
economic, military, and
financial crises and explains
the real reasons why the Wars
of the Roses began, why they
kept recurring, and why,
eventually, they ceased.

Moving through time from


humanity before the very
concept of human rights to its
contemporary postcosmopolitan modality, The
Last Utopia proposes that
human rights are identifiable
only as the final development
in a series of failed political
utopias. Specifically, Moyn
suggests that human rights
arose in the anti-political
global discourse of the 1970s.

MOZART AND THE NAZIS
How the Third Reich Abused
a Cultural Icon
Carter Findley

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS


At Home in Georgian
England
Amanda Vickery

Despite the apparent


incompatibility between
Mozarts humanitarian and
cosmopolitan outlook and Nazi
ideology, the Third Reich
tenaciously promoted the great
composers music to further
the goals of the fascist regime.
This book provides a fresh
understanding of how the
Nazis shamelessly manipulated
Mozart for their own political
advantage.

This book unlocks the homes


of Georgian England to
examine the lives of the people
who lived there. Vickery shows
that through the spread of
formal visiting, the
proliferation of affordable
ornamental furnishings and the
currency of the language of
taste, even modest homes
turned into arenas of social
campaign and exhibition.

For novelist and critic Gabriel


Josipovici, the contemporary
novel in English is profoundly
disappointinga poor relation

Modernist forebears. This book
asks why. Josipovici presents a

of what modernism is and how
contemporary literature has
failed it.

Easily the most controversial


antislavery novel written in

of the best-selling books of the

intensifying the sectional

Selected Poems and

Helen Vendler

The Golden Primer, first


published in 1884, uses
methods for teaching literacy
that are still in use today, such
as encouraging the child reader
to interact with the words and
pictures, and pointing out the
printed words as they see them
in the pictures. All of these
useful lessons are accompanied
by Cranes charming and witty
illustrations, for which he
continues to be known.

With expected favourites as


well as more complex and less
often anthologised poems, this
collection presents all of Emily
Dickinsons preoccupations:
death, religion, love, the
natural world, and the nature of
thought. In her accompanying
commentaries Vendler takes
care to emphasise the poets
startling range and
imagination, and the ingenuity
of her linguistic invention.

Since 2001, two dominant


worldviews have clashed in the

myth of martyrdom through the

DESTINED FOR
EQUALITY
The Inevitable Rise of
Womens Status
Robert Max Jackson

Todays workplaces continue


to idealise the worker who has
someone other than parents
caring for their children.
Contesting the idea that women
need to negotiate better within
the family, and redefining the
notion of success in the
workplace, Joan Williams
reinvigorates the work-family
debate and offers the first steps
to making life manageable for
all working families.

In Destined for Equality,


Robert Max Jackson argues
that gender inequality is
irrevocably crumbling. He
asserts that womens rising
status has been due largely to
the emergence of modern
political and economic
organisations, which have
transformed institutional
priorities concerning gender.
