Legitimacy, Illegitimacy, and the Right to Rule by Gordon K. Oeste Pdf

This book explores the portrayal of the rise, reign, and demise of Abimelech in Judges 9 and asks about whose interests this portrayal may have served. The negative depiction of Abimelech's kingship in this chapter, coupled with Gideon's rejection of kingship in Judges 8:22-23, has led interpreters to view the passage as anti-monarchic. This perspective clashes with the pro-monarchic stance of Judges 17-21. However, while the portrayal of Abimelech's kingship is negative, it may yet have served as a legitimation strategy for the monarchy. In support, this study examines Judges 9 through three methodological lenses: a narrative analysis, a rhetorical analysis and a social scientific analysis. In addition, anthropological data on early and developing states shows that such states attempt to prevent fissioning (the tendency inherent within political systems to break up and form other similar units) by subverting local leaders, groups, and institutions, and so legitimate the centralization of power. When read in this light, Judges 9 supports monarchic interests by seeking to subvert localized rule and alliances in favor of a centralized polity.

Beyond The Stars by Jocelyn Trim Pdf

She hadn’t meant for any of this to happen. She hadn’t planned on running away. She definitely hadn’t planned on falling through a hole between worlds and nearly dropping right into the mouth of a hungry dragon. At first she’s convinced she’s dreaming. Or at least seeing things. But this world with its broken moon, knights and magic seems every bit as real as her own and every moment she’s there she fear she’ll lose herself to it long before she is able to find a way home. Now hunted by a vicious dragon and a secret order of magi, she struggles to stay alive with the help of her new friends. She just hopes to stay alive long enough to get home and before she finds a reason to stay.

Cities of Aristocrats and Bureaucrats by Chye Kiang Heng Pdf

The emergence of the open city during the 11th century is one of the most dramatic and important changes in Chinese urban history. While the Sui and the early Tang city was controlled and highly disciplined with restricted commercial activity, the late Northern Song city filled with pluralistic streets active round the clock became a new urban paradigm. These cities reflect the respective societies that gave rise to them - one rooted in a strong aristocratic power with a highly hierarchical social structure, and the other shaped by a pluralistic, mercantile society managed by pragmatic professional bureaucrats. This book provides an in-depth account of the process of transformation from the curfewed city of the Tang period to the open city of the Song. It analyses the multidimensional factors that gradually led to the development of an urban culture which in turn helped cement the trend towards the open city with its irregular layout and distinct urban tissue and silhouette.

Beyond the City Gates by Augusta Campbell Watson Pdf

Excerpt from Beyond the City Gates: A Romance of Old New York Discarded The sun was sinking slowly and brilliantly on that June evening about the year 1700, as Freida Van Dycke and Adriaen de Witte sauntered leisurely through the green meadows of the old Dutch "bouwery." Freida made a quaint picture as she looked archly up at her tall, dark escort. She appeared not unlike a brilliantly tinted flower seeking the light of the sun, her head poised on one side in a listening, graceful attitude. Her eyes were a clear, opalescent blue, her long, dark lashes drawing a pensive shade beneath them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Tombs of Pompeii by Virginia L. Campbell Pdf

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the tombs of Pompeii and its immediate environs, examining the funerary culture of the population, delving into the importance of social class and self-representation, and developing a broad understanding of Pompeii’s funerary epigraphy and business. The Pompeian corpus of evidence has heretofore been studied in a piecemeal fashion, not conducive to assessing trends and practices. Here, a holistic approach to the funerary monuments allows for the integration of data from five different necropoleis and analysis of greater accuracy and scope. Author Virginia Campbell demonstrates that the funerary practices of Pompeii are, in some ways, unique in to the population, moving away from the traditional approach to burial based on generalizations and studies of typology. She shows that while some trends in Roman burial culture can be seen as universal, each population, time, and place constructs its own approach to commemoration and display. Including an extensive catalogue of tomb data and images never before assembled or published, this collective approach reveals new insights into ancient commemoration. The Tombs of Pompeii is the first English-language book on Pompeian funerary rituals. It’s also the first in any language to provide a complete survey of the tombs of Pompeii and the first to situate Pompeian differences within a wider Roman burial context.
