Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This general introduction to the Arabic Language, now available in paperback, places special emphasis on the history and variation of the language. Concentrating on the difference between the two types of Arabic - the Classical standard language and the dialects - Kees Versteegh charts the history and development of the Arabic language from the earliest beginnings to modern times. The reader is offered a solid grounding in the structure of the language, its historical context and its use in various literary and non-literary genres, as well as an understanding of the role of Arabic as a cultural, religious and political world language. Intended as an introductory guide for students of Arabic, it will also be a useful tool for discussions both from a historical linguistic and from a socio-linguistic perspective. Coverage includes all aspects of the history of Arabic, the Arabic linguistic tradition, Arabic dialects and Arabic as a world language. Links are made between linguistic history and cultural history, while the author emphasises the role of contacts between Arabic and other languages. This important book will be an ideal text for all those wishing to acquire an understanding or develop their knowledge of the Arabic language.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the Nicolae Iorga prize of the Romanian Academy, 2013 This very learned and detailed investigation represents an advance in the field. Florin Curta has undertaken an ambitious and urgently needed study of a very difficult and controversial subject and historical era. There is no comparable book. Walter Kaegi, American Historical Review Curta's attention to detail. has produced well-supported conclusions incorporating archaeological evidence into Mediterranean history, a difficult task. Jason Fossella, Bryn Mawr Classical Review Offers a completely new dimension in the history of the region by bringing together archaeological and historical research of early medieval Greece This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the economic and social history of Greece during the early Middle Ages. From the collapse of the urban economy in the early seventh century to the beginning of prosperity during the first half of the eleventh century, it examines the crucial transformations taking place in Greece during the 'Dark Ages' and the Middle Byzantine period. Preconceived ideas about ethnic identity rooted in nationalism have long hindered an adequate study of early medieval Greece. By contrast, Florin Curta adopts a wide-ranging approach which highlights the similarities and differences in the archaeological evidence associated with a range of social and ethnic groups, whose identities were much more fluid than previously imagined. Florin Curta is Professor of Medieval History and Archaeology at the University of Florida.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Augustus (63 BC - AD 14), the first Roman emperor, brought peace and stability to Rome after decades of strife and uncertainty. He put in place a new institutional framework for the Roman Empire and inspired the ideology that sustained it for the next three hundred years. This book presents a selection of the most important scholarship on Augustus and the contribution he made to the development of the Roman state in the early imperial period. The subjects of the selected papers include Augustus' dramatic rise to prominence following the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC and the nature of his powers first as triumvir, then as Princeps; his policy regarding overseas wars and expansion, his administrative and military reforms of the Roman state; the role of his own family, his wife Livia, his son-in-law Agrippa and his adopted sons Gaius and Lucius Caesar and then Tiberius, in public life; his concern to reinforce Roman religion and family life; the development of an ideology that helped bolster his authority as ruler of an expanded Empire, including the importance of visual imagery, monuments and literature in the far-flung propagation of his image as leader; and the impact that his regime made on the communities of the Roman provinces. Jonathan Edmondson sets these papers into the general context of major trends in the study of Augustus in Britain, Europe and North America since the nineteenth century. Five are published here in English for the first time and many include illustrations of the most important visual evidence for the principate of Augustus. The book is equipped with a chronology, a glossary and a guide to further reading; all passages in Latin and Greek are translated into English.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Whilst the author's arguments on sectarianism should be familiar to any well-informed reader, the originality of this book lies in melding such material with the breadth of the historical perspective and the range of topics. This gives a very original mix, from sectarianism to shamanism, from the Auld Licht Anti-Burghers to Findhorn's fairies . . . this book represents 'the latest word' in the critical study of religion in Scotland.' Michael Rosie, University of Edinburgh How much has Scotland's religious landscape changed in the last century, and why Steve Bruce here presents a highly readable account of the changing nature and place of religion in Scotland in an increasingly irreligious society. In 1900 Scotland was a largely Presbyterian country and the Christian churches were a major social force. Now less than 10 per cent of Scots attend church. As religion has declined, it has become more varied: Catholicism has grown as have Charismatic Christian fellowships; Buddhist and Hindu themes have 'easternised' our religious vocabulary; a significant Muslim population has become established; and a notable number of Scots now pursue personal spiritual interests in forms which would once have been dismissed as pagan. Both this decline and the diversification deserve explanation. The Protestant-Catholic divide has faded but Scots have new controversies over the proper public place of religion in the light of growing secularization and diversification. The growth of individual liberty and increasing cultural diversity combine to weaken all shared beliefs by changing religion from a social matter into a private personal concern. All religious groups are faced with the choice of either accommodating that trend and losing their distinctiveness or resisting it and making membership too costly for most potential adherents. This radical remapping of Scotland's religious character is a fascinating summary of a remarkable career of research and analysis by one of our leading social historians. Topics include: Lewis, Orkney and Shetland compared; the integration of the Irish; the growth and decline of the Catholic Church; Scotland Orange and Protestant; the Post-War Kirk; factionalism in the conservative Presbyterian churches; the failure of the charismatic movement in Scotland; Samye Ling and Buddhism; Findhorn and New Age spirituality; Scots Muslims; and arguments over the ordination of women and gay rights. The author of thirty books on religion and politics, including Politics and Religion in the UK (2012), Steve Bruce is one of Scotland's foremost social scientists. In 1991 he became Professor of Sociology at the University of Aberdeen. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
