Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988, New and revised edition, xvii, 232pp., PAPERBACK, light vertical pencil lines in margins on numerous pages at start of text, in chapter four, and some scattered pages, deep crease and crack in spine at pages 67 and 167, markings are done lightly, remains quite usable reading copy, COPY WITH MARKINGS. "Throughout the history of opera, if not quite continuously, there have been some who have taken opera's dramatic potential seriously and others who have not. It seems to be the case that over the last thirty years Opera as Drama has helped keep the serious position alive. I hope it will continue to do so in this new edition."-- From the foreword to the new edition. Passionate, witty, brilliant, Opera as Drama, although published over thirty years ago, remains one of the most controversial, thought-provoking, and entertaining works of operatic criticism ever written. For this new edition, the first since the book's original publication, the author has prepared a new foreword and provided emendations and additions that take into account some of the critical reaction to the book. He has also added a new chapter on operatic criticism. Updated yet still retaining the verve of the original, this new edition will be indispensable reading for all students and lovers of opera - CONTENTS: Prologue : Opera as drama -- Orpheus : the neoclassic vision -- The dark ages -- Action and the musical continuity -- Mozart -- Verdi's Otello : traditional opera and the image of Shakespeare -- Opera as sung play -- Opera as symphonic poem -- Retrenchment : Wozzeck and The Rake's Progress -- Drama and the alternative -- Epilogue : On operatic criticism. 9780520062740 ISBN 0520062744.

Samons, Loren J. What's wrong with democracy?: from Athenian practice to American worship. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2004, xx, 307pp., PAPERBACK, very good, two black marker remainder dots on right foredge. "Fifth-century Athens is praised as the cradle of democracy and sometimes treated as a potential model for modern political theory or practice. In this reassessment of classical Athenian democracy and its significance for the United States today, Loren J. Samons II provides ample justification for our founding fathers distrust of democracy, a form of government they scorned precisely because of their familiarity with classical Athens." "What's Wrong with Democracy? challenges many basic assumptions about the character and success of Athenian democracy and offers discussions of topics including the dangers of the popular vote, Athens's acquisitive foreign policy, the tendency of the state to overspend, the place of religion in Athenian society, and more."-- CONTENTS: Introduction -- Athenian society and government -- Democracy and demagogues : election, voting, and qualifications for citizenship -- Public finance : democracy and the people's purse -- Foreign policy I : democracy imperial -- Foreign policy II : the Peloponnesian War -- National defense : democracy defeated -- Democracy and religion -- Conclusion : Socrates, Pericles, and the citizen.

Erstausgabe
PAPERBACK, very good, only slightest wear to corners. MCCLAIN, CHARLES J. In search of equality: the Chinese struggle against discrimination in nineteenth-century America. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994, 1st paperback printing number line ending with 1, x, 385pp., . This illuminating volume probes the efforts of the Chinese community to battle the manifold kinds of discrimination encountered at the hands of government during the nineteenth century. Contrary to the stereotypical image of a passive, uninvolved, and insular group, the population revealed by Charles McClain is politically savvy and familiar with American political institutions, resentful of discriminatory treatment and capable of mobilizing to fight it. He draws on English- and Chinese-language documents, court files, and other sources to chronicle the ways the Chinese sought redress and change. McClain focuses on California, the home of the overwhelming majority of Chinese during the nineteenth century and the heart and hub of the anti-Chinese movement, and on the numerous cases the Chinese brought in the state and federal courts to vindicate their claim to equality of treatment under the law. In the 1862 case of Lin Sing v. Washburn, the California Supreme Court nullified a law imposing an onerous tax only on Chinese immigrants and aimed at discouraging Chinese immigration. An 1885 lawsuit by Joseph Tape, a Chinese parent, challenging the exclusion of Chinese children from the public schools, led to an order admitting his child. An 1890 measure attempted to remove San Francisco's Chinese residents from Chinatown and ghettoize them in a less desirable part of the city - the first attempt by an American municipality to segregate its inhabitants on the basis of race. Ten years later, after the discovery of suspected cases of bubonic plague in Chinatown, an attempt was made to force the Chinese to be inoculated with an experimental antiplague vaccine. These measures, too, were challenged by the Chinese and eventually struck down in the courts. In their battles for justice, the Chinese community helped to clarify a panoply of judicial issues, including the parameters of the Fourteenth Amendment and the legal meanings of nondiscrimination and equality. Discussing a wide-ranging set of court cases and gleaning their larger constitutional significance, In Search of Equality brings to light an important chapter of American cultural and ethnic history. It will attract attention from legal historians, scholars of Asian America, and historians of the American West. - CONTENTS: pt. I.

Berkeley: University of California Press, 2007, 2d printing number line of this edition, probably 2007, 230pp., . "In the fall of 1957 the University of California Press expanded Arnheim's 1933 book Film by four essays and brought that landmark work back into print as Film as Art. Now nearly fifty years after that re-edition, the book continues to occupy an important place in the literature of film. Arnheim's method, provocative in this age of technological wizardry, was to focus on the way art in film was derived from that medium's early limitations: no sound, no color, no three-dimensional depth.".

very good dust-jacket, very good dark red cloth, light foxing on top foredge. HUYLER, FRANK. The blood of strangers stories from emergency medicine. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1999, 2d printing number line ending in 2, 165pp., . Reminiscent of Chekhov's stories, The Blood of Strangers is a visceral portrayal of a physician's encounters with the highly charged world of an emergency room. In this collection of spare and elegant stories, Dr. Frank Huyler reveals a side of medicine where small moments-the intricacy of suturing a facial wound, the bath a patient receives from her husband and daughter-interweave with the lives and deaths of the desperately sick and injured. The author presents an array of fascinating characters, both patients and doctors-a neurosurgeon who practices witchcraft, a trauma surgeon who unexpectedly commits suicide, a wounded murderer, a man chased across the New Mexico desert by a heat-seeking missile. At times surreal, at times lyrical, at times brutal and terrifying, The Blood of Strangers is a literary work that emerges from one of the most dramatic specialties of modern medicine. This deeply affecting first book has been described by one early reader as "the best doctor collection I have seen since William Carlos Williams's The Doctor Stories.". 9780520218635 ISBN 0520218639.
