"The beauty and levity that Perry and Gabriele have captured in
this book are what I think will help it to become a standard text
for general audiences for years to come....The Bright Ages is a
rare thing-a nuanced historical work that almost anyone can enjoy
reading."-Slate "Incandescent and ultimately intoxicating." -The
Boston Globe A lively and magisterial popular history that refutes
common misperceptions of the European Middle Ages, showing the
beauty and communion that flourished alongside the dark brutality-a
brilliant reflection of humanity itself. The word "medieval"
conjures images of the "Dark Ages"-centuries of ignorance,
superstition, stasis, savagery, and poor hygiene. But the myth of
darkness obscures the truth; this was a remarkable period in human
history. The Bright Ages recasts the European Middle Ages for what
it was, capturing this 1,000-year era in all its complexity and
fundamental humanity, bringing to light both its beauty and its
horrors. The Bright Ages takes us through ten centuries and
crisscrosses Europe and the Mediterranean, Asia and Africa,
revisiting familiar people and events with new light cast upon
them. We look with fresh eyes on the Fall of Rome, Charlemagne, the
Vikings, the Crusades, and the Black Death, but also to the
multi-religious experience of Iberia, the rise of Byzantium, and
the genius of Hildegard and the power of queens. We begin under a
blanket of golden stars constructed by an empress with Germanic,
Roman, Spanish, Byzantine, and Christian bloodlines and end nearly
1,000 years later with the poet Dante-inspired by that same
twinkling celestial canopy-writing an epic saga of heaven and hell
that endures as a masterpiece of literature today. The Bright Ages
reminds us just how permeable our manmade borders have always been
and of what possible worlds the past has always made available to
us. The Middle Ages may have been a world "lit only by fire" but it
was one whose torches illuminated the magnificent rose windows of
cathedrals, even as they stoked the pyres of accused heretics. The
Bright Ages contains an 8-page color insert.
Changing perceptions about the worth of African Americans and their
communities. Know Your Price establishes new means of determining
value of Black communities. The deliberate devaluation of Blacks
and their communities, stemming from America's centuries-old
history of slavery, racism, and other state-sanctioned policies
like redlining have tangible, far-reaching, and negative economic
and social impacts. Rejecting policies shaped by flawed
perspectives, the book gives fresh insights on these impacts and
provides a new value paradigm to limit them. In the book, noted
educator, journalist, and scholar Andre Perry takes readers on a
guided tour of five Black-majority cities whose assets and
strengths are undervalued. Perry begins the tour in his hometown of
Wilkinsburg, a small city east of Pittsburgh that, unlike its much
larger neighbor, is struggling and failing to attract new jobs and
industry. Perry gives an overview of Black-majority cities and
spotlights four where he has a deep connection to Detroit, New
Orleans, Birmingham and Washington, D.C. providing an intimate look
at the assets residents should demand greater value from. Know Your
Price demonstrates through rigorous research and thorough analysis
the worth of Black people's intrinsic strengths, real property, and
traditional institutions. All of these assets are means of
empowerment, as Perry argues for shifting away from simplified
notions of equality and moving towards maximizing equity.
In this provocative book, Marvin Perry and Frederick M. Schweitzer
analyze the lies, misperceptions, and myths about Jews and Judaism
that anti-semites have propagated throughout the centuries.
Beginning with antiquity, and continuing into the present day, the
authors explore the irrational fabrications that have led to
numerous acts of violence and hatred against Jews. The book
examines ancient and medieval myths central to the history of
anti-semitism: Jews as 'Christ-killers', instruments of Satan, and
ritual murderers of Christian children. It also explores the
scapegoating of Jews in the modern world as conspirators bent on
world domination; extortionists who manufactured the Holocaust as a
hoax designed to gain reparation payments from Germany; and the
leaders of the slave trade that put Africa in chains. No other book
has focused its attention exclusively on a thematic discussion of
historic and contemporary anti-semitic myths, covering such an
expansive scope of time, and allowing for such a painstaking level
of exemplification. Anti-semitism is an essential book that will
serve as a corrective to bigotry, stereotype, and historical
distortion.
Public and situated display technologies can have an important
impact on individual and social behaviour and present us with
particular interesting new design considerations and challenges.
While there is a growing body of research exploring these design
considerations and social impact this work remains somewhat
disparate, making it difficult to assimilate in a coherent manner.
This book brings together the perspectives of key researchers in
the area of public and situated display technology. The chapters
detail research representing the social, technical and
interactional aspects of public and situated display technologies.
The underlying concern common to these chapters is how these
displays can be best designed for collaboration, coordination,
community building and mobility. Presenting them together allows
the reader to examine everyday display activities within the
context of emerging technological possibilities.
"Memory of war in France examines France in the era of world war
through the unconventional eyes of the veteran, activist, and
novelist Cesar Fauxbras. It encompasses the French Navy at war, the
naval mutinies of 1919, the experience of unemployment, interwar
pacifism, French defeat in 1940, and Paris under the heel of German
occupation"--Provided by publisher.
Drawing from a variety of sources, this anthology encourages
readers to explore the multiple dimensions of Islamic terrorism and
seeks to promote a better understanding of one of the most
complicated and urgent problems facing the world today. Divided
into six parts, the book deals with the theological and ideological
background of the concept of jihad, the policies and organization
of Al Qaeda, various policy recommendations for combating
terrorism, the motivations of suicide bombers, the dilemma
jihadists pose in Western countries, and the adoption of classical
European and anti-Semitic myths for political and religious gain in
segments of the Muslim world. With excerpts ranging from works by
Sayyid Qutb to Osama bin Laden to Nonie Darwish, this book is a
must-have for anyone interested in or studying Islamic
terrorism.

Since the 9/11/01 attacks on America, anti-Semitism has been on the rise, its roots firmly anchored in centuries-old prejudices. Schweitzer and Perry analyze the lies, misperceptions, and myths about Jews and Judaism that have been spread throughout the centuries. Beginning in antiquity and continuing into the present day, the authors explore major anti-Semitic themes: Jews as murderers of Christ; Jews as both evil capitalists and evil communists; the “myth” of the Holocaust; and the Nation of Islam’s hatred of the Jews. This is an eye-opening piece of work that, sadly, is still needed today.
Ivan IV, the 16th-century tsar notorious for his reign of terror, became an unlikely national hero in the Soviet Union during the 1940s. This book traces the development of Ivan's positive image, placing it in the context of Stalin's campaign for patriotism. In addition to historians' images of Ivan, the author examines literary and artistic representations, including Sergei Eisenstein's famous film Ivan the Terrible, banned for its depiction of the tsar which was interpreted as an allegorical criticism of Stalin.

The Almagest is by far the greatest work in astronomy in ancient
times. In a massive series of thirteen books, Ptolemy shows how
every detail of the motions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars
can be expressed using geometrical models that can be used to
compute celestial positions with remarkable accuracy The present
selection covers all the essential features of Ptolemy's treatment
of the heavens, omitting only more difficult and abstruse matters
such as the moon's motion and the calculation of eclipses. In the
interest of conciseness, development of planetary theories is
restricted to two planets, one inferior (Venus) and one superior
(Mars). Ptolemy's text is accompanied by extensive notes and
introductions that are aimed at making the book accessible to
students encountering Ptolemy for the first time. This edition is
designed to provide everything needed for a one-semester course, or
it can be a component of a more general course on planetary theory
or history of astronomy.

Since her first book, Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty
and the Beast, was published in 1978, Robin McKinley has enchanted
young adult readers for more than thirty years. This study is the
first in-depth analysis of McKinley's works, including her
award-winning books The Blue Sword (Newbery Honor, 1983) and The
Hero and the Crown (Newberry Medal, 1985). In Robin McKinley: Girl
Reader, Woman Writer, Evelyn Perry examines McKinley's novels and
short stories as grouped into three categories: those set in Damar,
which introduce and develop the rich geographic, social, political,
and linguistic history of McKinley's secondary world; the
retellings of folk and fairy tales, which reveal not only
McKinley's encyclopedic knowledge of source stories but her
respectful and highly literate approach to their contemporary
adaptation; and her other works, less easily categorized but
generally most recent, written for more mature readers, and
featuring a diverse set of influences from vampires to homeopathy.
Perry also explores the feminist articulation of character and
social settings that are dominant themes running through McKinley's
works. Anyone interested in Robin McKinley and her work, including
secondary and post-secondary students, faculty, and librarians,
will find Robin McKinley: Girl Reader, Woman Writer a valuable
resource.
For the college campus, "place" means much more than just geography
and physical setting. It is the sum of the experiences, activities,
events, and memories that occur within the campus. American
institutions of higher education are giving renewed attention to
the question of how the quality and character of place can support
the endeavors of the institutions. In doing so, campus communities
are seeking to reclaim ground that was lost in the decades after
World War II, when the traditional virtues of campus coherence,
human scale, and place distinction were overtaken by explosive
growth in attendance rates and the growing prevalence of
automobiles. American Places calls for campuses to be conceived,
not only to heighten the quality of the learning experience, but
also as working demonstrations of how places everywhere can be
transformed into more healthy, humane, civic environments. As
campuses and communities are reshaped by societal forces, the
campus will endure as a vital civil learning environment well into
the 21st century. American Places calls for campuses to be
designed, not only to heighten the quality of the learning
experience, but also as working demonstrations of ways in which
places everywhere can be transformed into more healthy, humane,
civic environments. For the college campus, "place" should mean
much more than geography and physical setting. It represents the
sum of the experiences, activities, events, and memories that occur
within the campus boundaries. Today, American institutions of

how the quality and character of place can support their goals. In
doing so, campus communities are seeking to reclaim psychological

places of college campuses has a critical pract
