Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. ### Oxford and Cambridge: An Uncommon History by Peter Seger 2005 ## ## THIS BOOK: Classified as NEAR FINE: This is the 2005 Edition. The book is immaculate inside and out; the cover is dark blue with titling on the spine, and the dust jacket is full gloss and laminated with an extra plastic cover. A full and frank history of these two great academic institutions. # ## 'If Oxford were not the finest thing in England,' wrote Henry James, 'the case would be clearer for Cambridge.' No other private institutions have had a greater impact on England's ? and, at times, world ? history, yet in different* ways: Oxford has spawned more Prime Ministers, Cambridge more Nobel laureates. In Oxford, so it is said, things are brilliantly formulated; in Cambridge, they are seriously thought through. Bill Clinton practised the saxophone in 60s Oxford and became President of the USA; Bill Gates chose Cambridge as the location for the first Microsoft branch outside the USA.## ## Since William Thackeray invented a mythical 'Oxbridge', these two very distinctive institutions, as different as Harvard and Yale, have increasingly presented a face to the world, a homogeneous elite whose sense of duty has been surpassed only by its self-confidence. Isaac Newton taught here; Stephen Hawking occupies Newton's academic chair. For almost 800 years, the twin capitals of the intellectual life of England have radiated their influence across the globe: not just political leaders, but the best spies Communism could recruit; not just church leaders, but the great heretics and reformers; and a host of literary figures from Lord Byron to Salman Rushdie. ## ## Peter Sager draws on a treasure trove of facts, figures and anecdotes to provide a witty and detailed map of Oxbridge. He roams through the idyllic gardens and courtyards, uncovers the secrets behind the college gates and supports his literary journey with colour photographs and maps, a glossary, a list of useful addresses and a guide to further reading. ## ## Oxford and Cambridge is a unique combination of travel guide, history, biography and psychoanalysis of two towns that are not just places but states of mind. ## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, contact me for a shipping quote to your country; FREE shipping is only available within the United Kingdom. ##.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Later Printing. Softcover Impressionism (World of Art S.) 0500200564 The Impressionists--Monet, Manet, Cezanne, Degas, Pissarro, and Renoir--are probably the most popular of all artistic schools. With imagination and insight, the author brings Impressionism into focus by showing it through the eyes of the artists and their contemporaries, using letters, critical reviews crease on cover and reminiscences of the people who were part of the story. As we see in Bernard Denvir's compelling survey, the Impressionists had new ways of painting, but they also had a new world to paint: a world of stream tricycles, emergent photography, and modern ideas about perception. 209 illus., 77 in colour 287pp.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Spanish America. 1900-1970. Tradition and Social Innovation. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. The most noteworthy feature about succeeding generations of Spanish American national leaders has been their awesome success in preserving the traditional social order against the multiple forces of change. In this valuable study of Spanish America in the twentieth century, Professor Pike argues that different countries have employed varying methods to maintain the traditional two-culture society, made up of a dominant dependent sub-culture. In Bolivia and Mexico measures of social paternalism gained the quiescence of the masses. Minto changes in the political system (in Chile and Peru) and more radical innovations (in Venezuela and Uruguay) were sufficient to maintain the traditional society, whereas in Argentina and Colombia the status quo was only restored after the opening stages of a social revolution. Only in Cuba did the old order collapse, undermined by middle-class alienation and mass discontent, and, for the first time in the history of Spanish America, a society radically different from the traditional one emerged.

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Oceanic Art. The dazzling colours and patterns of the art of the Pacific Islands have long entranced Western audiences, not least artists such as Gauguin and Picasso. The tendency has been to regard Oceanic art as 'primitive', mysterious, shrouded in taboo, but Nicholas Thomas, in looking at and beyond the familiar, stunning surfaces of spears and shields, carved canoe prows and feather capes, discovers the significance of art, past and present, for the people of the Pacific. He shows how each region is characterized by certain art forms and practices - among them Maori ancestral carvings, rituals of exhcnage and warfare in the solomon Islands, the production of barkcloth by women in Polynesia - while being shaped by influences from within the Pacific and beyond. The dynamisim and diversity of the art are reflected in the illustrations accompanying this revelatory text - from works that evoke the most deep-rooted customs to those that address contemporary political issues. 182 illustrations, 26 in colour. 216 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. Jerusalem as Jesus Knew It. In this lucid and scholarly guide to the sites in and around Jerusalem that legitimately can be linked to Jesus, the author provides not only the details of where events took place, but analyzes the reasons for their occurence, drawing on research that combines a first-hand knowledge of archaeological discoveries with an interpretation of the Gospels and other ancient sources. Beginning with a brief look at Galilee, the life and traditions in the village of Nazareth and the site at Capernaum, where Jesus may well have visited and preached, the author then evaluates the cultural conflict of the Jews in Judaea, and the political position of Jerusalem in Jesus' day, when Pilate was governor. A plan pf Jerusalem as it was then makes it possible to visualize the layout of the ancient city, while diagrams and photographs pinpoint the scenes of many New Testament events. With 101 photographs and 42 diagrams. 208 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
