COBBAN, ALFRED. The social interpretation of the French revolution : COPY WITH MARKINGS. With an introduction by Gwynne Lewis. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1999, second edition, xlix, 178pp., . "Alfred Cobban saw the French Revolution as central to the 'grand narrative of modern history', but provided a salutary corrective to many celebrated social explanations, determinist and otherwise, of its origins and development." "A generation later this concise but powerful intervention is now reissued with a new introduction by Gwynne Lewis, providing students with both a context for Cobban's own arguments and an assessment of the course of Revolutionary studies in the wake of The Social Interpretation. This book remains a handbook of revisionism for Anglo-Saxon scholars, and is essential reading for all students of French history at undergraduate level and above." - CONTENTS: The Present State of History -- History and Sociology -- The Problem of Social History -- The Meaning of Feudalism -- The Attack on Seigniorial Rights -- Who were the Revolutionary Bourgeois? -- Economic Consequences of the Revolution -- A Bourgeoisie of Landowners -- Country Against Town -- Social Cleavages Among the Peasantry -- The Sans-Culottes -- A Revolution of the Propertied Classes -- Poor Against Rich. 9780521667678 ISBN 0521667674.…

She was not prepared for the life-changing news: she had an identical twin sister. Not only that: she and her sister, for a time, had been part of a secret study on separated twins. Paula also knew she was adopted, but had no inclination to find her birth mother. When she answered the phone one spring afternoon, her life suddenly changed. As they take their tentative first steps from strangers to sisters, Paula and Elyse are also left with haunting questions. As they investigate their birth mother's past, they begin to solve the puzzle of their lives. Interweaving eye-opening studies and statistics on twin science into their narrative, they offer an intelligent and heartfelt glimpse into human nature. ISBN 9781400064960. …

Fabulous machinery for the curious: the garden of Urdu classical literature. Translated and edited by Musharraf Ali Farooqi. Oakland, California: University of California Press, 2023, 1st printing number line ending in 1, x, 397pp., . "As the present volume offers six translations from the qissa genre, it is useful to understand the nature of the qissa genre; or rather, qissa's non-genre nature. In Urdu, the word qissa is used for both short and long narrative literature. It encompasses works in both prose and verse. When looking at narratives that belong to qissa literature, one is struck by their diversity. These narratives include everything from folk literature, to historical narratives, to adventure tales, picaresque narratives, comic and tragic stories, accounts of pilgrimage, and religious texts. Their structure varies from frame and interior stories, to linear narratives, to collections of disparate tales, joined loosely together. Each such narrative enriches the possibilities of the qissa, while at the same time making it more difficult to describe the genre neatly. Stories must have played a paramount social role in a society for it to create such a profusion of narratives meant for narration and retelling. Did the qissa literature grow from an impulse to give a story-like structure to every narrative? This diversity of texts published as qissas certainly suggests that. This extraordinary engagement with stories at a social level becomes clearer when we take a closer look at the qissas and realize that a number of them have a function beyond idle entertainment. To their audience, they offered everything, from social guidance, physical well-being, and moral training. The qissas were meant to be life's finishing school. The riches of this literature can be sampled in the six qissas presented here in their first English language translation" - CONTENTS: Introduction -- Qissa 1 : the Ingenious Farkhanda and the two conditions : translation of Char Gulshan by Rai Beni Narayan -- Qissa 2 : the adventures of a soldier : translation of Qissa Sipahizada by Khushdil Kiratpuri -- Qissa 3 : Chhabili the innkeeper : translation of Chhabili Bhattiyari by unknown author -- Qissa 4 : Azar Shah and Saman Rukh Bano : translation of Nau Aaeen-e Hindi by Mehr Chnd Khatri Mehr -- Qissa 5 : the victim of malice : translation of Qissa-e Maqtool-e Jafa by Amiruddin Khan Maani -- Qissa 6 : a girl named King Agar : translation of Qissa Agar o Gul by Saadat Khan Nasir -- About the authors and narrators.

GIMBEL, STEVEN. Einstein : his space and times. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2015, 1st printing number line ending in 1, ix, 191pp., . "The commonly held view of Albert Einstein is that of an eccentric genius for whom the pursuit of science was everything. But in actuality, the brilliant innovator whose theory of relativity forever reshaped our understanding of time was a man of his times, always politically engaged and driven by strong moral principles. An avowed pacifist, Einstein mistrusted authority, and his outspoken social and scientific views earned him death threats from Nazi sympathizers in the years preceding World War II. To him, science provided not only a means for understanding the behavior of the universe, but a foundation for considering the deeper questions of life--as well as a way for the worldwide Jewish community to gain confidence and pride in itself. Steven Gimbel's biography presents Einstein in the context of the world he lived in, offering a fascinating portrait of a remarkable individual who remained actively engaged in international affairs throughout his life. This revealing work not only explains Einstein's theories in understandable terms, it demonstrates how they directly emerged from the realities of his times and helped create the world we live in today.".
