Ukrainian politics, the Russian invasion and the escalating crisis of the post-Soviet world

Three of the legendary Russian dissident writer's greatest poems, two autobiographical and one based on a Russian folktale, now in a new, invigorating English translation. Three by Tsvetaeva collects three dazzling and devastating reckonings with love and the end of love by a poet celebrated for the unequaled verbal inventiveness and emotional intensity of her work. “Backstreets,” translated into English for the first time, is a retelling of a Russian fairy tale that offers a witches’ brew of temptation, bodily transformation, marriage, and murder. “Poem of the Mountain” and “Poem of the End,” perhaps the most celebrated of Marina Tsvetaeva’s poetic sequences, explore the shifting dynamics of a love affair. The voices of the lovers, the voice of the narrator, and the voice of poetry combine and recombine, circle each other and split, engaging the reader in a constantly shifting spectrum of emotion, from unbridled passion to rawest grief, and discovering at last a strange triumph in loss.  Andrew Davis’s translations of Tsvetaeva bring out the wild brilliance of an incomparable artist.

Now available in an accessible, new translation, "The Emperor's Handbook" is an important piece of ancient literature that remains more relevant than ever today.

"The Tunisian historiography of the modern era has broadly centered on a narrative of three successive powers: the pashas, first, followed by the deys, who were in turn deposed by the beys. This approach has provided all the components of a national narrative: it has posited the decline of the pasha's authority as a consequence of the Tunisian province's autonomy, and has framed the wars between deys and beys as a conflict of identity between the Turks and the locals. While this linear story is seductive in its apparent coherence, it leaves several questions in the shadows, in particular, the interference of several external forces in the affairs of the province: most notably, the Ottoman Empire. The Regency of Tunis was effectively controlled by the Ottomans who had reactivated a former Hafsid institution, the mhalla. A kind of itinerant power, the mhalla succeeded in allowing the Ottomans to establish peace through the creation of tax regulations and matrimonial alliances with the tribes. Thus, the Regency of Tunis was able to distinguish itself from other imperial provinces through the founding of a monarchical house symbolically linked to the Empire and, at the same time, socially anchored in its territory. Relying on local sources in Tunisian archives, Leèila Blili places the Regency of Tunis firmly within the Ottoman Empire, revealing the complex connections between the imperial center and its far-flung province, and challenging the long-standing theory of Tunisian autonomy. Blili's examination of social continuity during moments of intense political turbulence restores the place of women in the narrative of state formation, underlining the significance of the matrimonial politics of sovereigns and the crucial political and social roles women played in the regency."--

""In ancient Egypt, a woman's primary role was that of mother, and as such she ensured her place within both her household and her community. And so, gods, doctor-magicians, as well as ghosts were all called upon to help the woman become pregnant. Pregnancy was not without risks, and the many tests, prescriptions, and spells that have survived to this day help us to understand obstetrics as it was practiced in those distant times. Once the woman had eluded the ill will of Seth-who was held responsible for miscarriages-and had reached her term, she was faced with the much awaited and yet also feared moment of birth. The successful delivery of a child into the world was seen as a gift of the gods, but it did not mean that the parent's worries were over. Indeed, it has been estimated that a third of all children did not reach the age of five years despite the combined efforts of parents and doctor-magicians to protect them. Amandine Marshall draws upon a wealth of sources, including texts, images, iconography, artefacts, and children's bodies themselves, as well as medicine, anthropology, and ethnography, to examine these issues and more, and in doing so sheds unprecedented light on the experience of maternity and early childhood in ancient Egypt.""--

Exploring a wide variety of visualizations of pregnancy and fetuses through 300 years of history, this timely volume offers a fresh look at the influential feminist concept of the "public fetus."

"Get swept away by this beautifully intense story of the infant church of first-century Judea in the captivating continuation to the beloved Crowning Crescendo series. Sheltered from the brooding turmoil sweeping through Jerusalem lives Mary-a savvy, independent businesswoman of the Upper city who is assured of her life's course. But when the disciples of the controversial Rabbi appear at her doorstep requesting the use of her Upper Room for the Passover, she has little idea that God's plan for her is about to unfold. When Mary's life comes crashing down, she is determined to walk in the will of God-despite fierce opposition from all sides. She throws herself into action as the fledgling church explodes into an unstoppable force that sets the world ablaze with the power of gospel. Meanwhile, Mary's favored maidservant, Tabitha, agonizes over her inability to walk in the spirit. She must learn to entrust the pain of her past and an unknown future in the hands of an all-knowing God. But when a fiery Hellenist is hired to fill a vital position in the household, Tabitha's resolve is tested. Finding the Way may be more challenging than Christ's followers ever imagined as Mary, Tabitha, and a cast of familiar characters from the New Testament stand firm for the church of God"--

At thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern greece, the feared and admired spartan soldiers stood three hundred strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty persian army.Day after bloody day they withstood the terrible onslaught, buying time for the greeks to rally their forces.

One that would not end until the rocks were awash with blood, leaving only one gravely injured spartan squire to tell the tale. You will discover topics such asWho were the spartansThe growth of spartan power: the messenian warsA growing rivalry with athens: the greco-persian warsVictory over athens: the birth of the spartan empireSpartan hegemony, the corinthian war, and sparta's declineSpartan government, military, and societyAnd much, much more!The spartans.

With the explosion of new material emerging from a branch of archaeology that focuses specifically on Islamic periods and Islamic lands since the 1980s, it is most pertinent to consider its origin, its development, and its potential in reconstructing and interpreting past ways of life.1 Islam has been a literate culture since its inception; thus, academic inquiry has focused on written texts.2 While documentary evidence provides a wealth of information on many aspects of life, material derived from archaeology can supplement and contextualize the written record. The material record can serve as an independent arbitrator, separate from historical sources, which were often written with an agenda.3 While the interpretation of the material evidence may be disputed, the data cannot be denied, as it offers a first-hand record of what had existed.

"Here together for the first time are all five remarkable standalone novels by the writer who transformed American speculative fiction. In The Lathe of Heaven, George Orr has dreams that have the power to change reality itself. The Eye of the Heron is set on the planet Victoria in a former Terran prison colony ripe for revolution. The Beginning Place follows two young people who discover a portal to a different, seemingly better world. Searoad: Chronicles of Klatsand is a Winesburg, Ohio--like series of interconnected stories about the lives of artists and seekers in a small vacation town on the Oregon coast. Le Guin's powerful final novel, Lavinia, retells Vergil's Aeneid from the perspective of a woman who is not given a voice in the original. Volume features include hand-drawn maps by the author; three essays by Le Guin offering background on the novels; an updated chronology of her life and career; and detailed notes."--Dust jacket.

"For most of the 2,000-plus years since its foundation as a discipline by ancient Greek thinkers, rhetoric-the art of using language to persuade-was a keystone of a Western education. But in the early 20th century, studying rhetoric fell out of fashion. In The Ancient Art of Thinking for Yourself, Robin Reames, one of the world's leading scholars of rhetoric, argues that it's high time to bring it back. Drawing on examples ranging from the Sophist Alcibiades, whose speeches in favor of war led ancient Athens to destruction and defeat, to modern-day conspiracists like Alex Jones, Reames breaks down the major techniques of rhetoric, pulling back the curtain on how politicians, journalists, and "journalists" convince us to believe what we believe-and to vote and act accordingly. Understanding these techniques helps us avoid being manipulated by modern-day sophists who don't have our best interests at heart. But it also grants us rare insight into our own beliefs, and the values that shape them. Learning rhetoric, she argues, doesn't teach what to think but how to think - allowing us to understand our ideological commitments, and those of others, in a completely new way. Thoughtful, nuanced, and leavened with dry humor, The Ancient Art of Thinking for Yourself offers an antidote to our polarized, post-truth world"--

Recent legislative changes in England and Wales have eroded children's ability to exercise their article 12 UNCRC rights to information, consultation and representation when parents separate. However, children's voices may be heard through child-inclusive mediation (CIM). Considered from a children's rights perspective, this book provides a critical socio-legal account of CIM practice. It draws on in-depth interviews with relationship professionals, mediators, parents and children, to consider the experiences, risks and benefits of CIM. It investigates obstacles to greater uptake of CIM and its role in improving children's wellbeing and agency. Exploring the culture and practice changes necessary for a more routine application of CIM, the book demonstrates how reconceptualising CIM through a children's rights framework could help to address barriers and improve outcomes for children.
