Original Black Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. 2008. xxiv, 680pp. B&W illustrations, maps and figures throughout. Scottish Life and Society, Scottish Ethnology volume 7. "The movement of people from a rural to an urban environment is one of the most striking features of Scotland's past. This movement was the result of a shift in the general pattern of work from agricultural to industrial in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This was followed by a notable shift in the pattern of urban work, from manufacturing industry to the provision of services, in the late twentieth century. Beneath these general patterns there lies a myriad of individual lived experiences, also explored in this volume.As well as outlining the history of settlement and work, this volume considers the working lives of those engaged in feeding, housing and protecting the population, those who work to keep the population healthy, and those who are engaged in work of the imagination rather than work to meet material needs. Since the nineteenth century an increasing number of services have been controlled by government, both local and central. The importance of public service is discussed, as is the industrial way of life and the ways in which workers have to co-operate, in the interest of their employer, themselves and society."

First edition. x+426 pages. Cloth. Fine. Cultural differences in medieval European literary practice are reflected in many different ways, as this volume illustrates. The essays cover a whole range of courtly topics, in particular questions of context, genre and poetic voice. The five sections explore contexts for courtliness, especially the position of the vernacular poet at or near the court; the ways in which courtly values and political aspirations are reflected in the work of medieval chronicle and romance writers; questions of register, convention, gender, and narrative technique; problems of literary production and reception, particularly the transmission of courtly and quasi-courtly texts among widely differing medieval audiences; and broader issues such as the clues to the courtly mentality provided by peripheral narrative details, the blurring of conventional courtly boundaries, and the perennial fascination of tales with strong folklore or fabliau elements.

The exhibition and catalogue explore the intertwined worlds of art, popular culture, commerce and society of Edo Japan in a focused examination by a team of renowned experts." excerpt from the preface by Vishahka N. Desai, President of the Asia Society.; "This exhibition brings together approximately one hundred fifty paintings, woodblock prints and illustrated books, with images known as ukiyo-e, or pictures of the floating world - The floating world was a new leisure industry of popular entertainment centered in the shogunal capital of Edo (modern Tokyo). The carefully selected images in the exhibition not only present the principals of that realm - the actor, the artist, the courtesan, the poet, the publisher, the patron - they also examine the confluences and contradictions in a time of enourmous social, cultural and economic change in Japan. The exhibtion and catalogue focus on individuals - adding to the already substantial scholarship on Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro - including the father of ukiyo-e, Hishikawa Moronobu, the artist and publisher Okumura Masanobu, the color innovator Susuki Harunobo, the master publisher Tsutaya Juzaburo and the briliant painter Katsukawa Shunsho." excerpt by the foreword by Melissa Chiu, Director of the Asia Society.
