ROME AND THE ENEMY Imperial Strategy in the Principate
University of California Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 0520211669 . Tiny stain to rear board and obverse of DJ else book and DJ are fine/fine. ; 1 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 277 pages; How did the Romans build and maintain one of the most powerful and stable empires in the history of the world This illuminating book draws on the literature especially the historiography composed by the members of the elite who conducted Roman foreign affairs. From this evidence Susan P. Mattern reevaluates the roots motivations and goals of Roman imperial foreign policy especially as that policy related to warfare. In a major reinterpretation of the sources Rome and the Enemy shows that concepts of national honor fierce competition for status and revenge drove Roman foreign policy and though different from the highly rationalizing strategies often attributed to the Romans dictated patterns of response that remained consistent over centuries. Mattern reconstructs the world view of the Roman decision-makers the emperors and the elite from which they drew their advisers. She discusses Roman conceptions of geography strategy economics and the influence of traditional Roman values on the conduct of military campaigns. She shows that these leaders were more strongly influenced by a traditional stereotyped perception of the enemy and a drive to avenge insults to their national honor than by concepts of defensible borders. In fact the desire to enforce an image of Roman power was a major policy goal behind many of their most brutal and aggressive campaigns. Rome and the Enemy provides a fascinating look into the Roman mind in addition to a compelling re-examination of Roman conceptions of warfare and national honor. The resulting picture creates a new understanding of Rome's long mastery of the Mediterranean world. . University of California Press hardcover

Matthews Paul M. MD.; & Jeff McQuain PhD; Foreword by Diane Ackerman M. D.
The Bard on the Brain : Understanding the Mind Through the Art of Shakespeare and the Science of Brain Imaging
New York and Washington D.C.:: The Dana Press 2003. 9" wide by 9.25" tall. A bright shiny clean square copy. The Dust Jacket is NOT price clipped 35.00. No chips. No tears. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with photographs throughout many in full-color. Bibliographical references. Index. Bound in the original yellow cloth lettered in black on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "To count the ways and times William Shakespeare is quoted every day would be impossible but it is easy to see why we return to his words again and again. Shakespeare discerned the unique capacities and problems of our humanity. He showed them from every angle. His plays are filled with the passions desires and deviances of man. His themes -- love family relations adultery power treachery -- are as modern as today's front page and illuminating all is his uncanny insight into the human mind and brain. That is what fascinates us. Here we explore the beauty and mystery of the human mind and the workings of the brain following the paths the Bard pointed out in the most famous speeches from his plays. Paul Matthews director of brain imaging at Oxford University and Jeffrey McQuain scholar of Shakespeare's language find the playwright an irresistible guide and mentor. It is Shakespeare who sees what we need to know in our modern quest to understand the engine of our humanity. How remarkable that a man from a small village in 17th century England marches so confidently along the very frontiers of 21st century science. Having him ask again the questions we are trying to answer today makes them even more compelling and absorbing. This joint exploration of Shakespeare and brain science leads to many places. On the magical isle of THE TEMPEST Miranda's joy at seeing others like her takes us to the discovery of how our brain is shaped by development and experience. In RICHARD III Richard's chilling description of his villainous character and evil intentions -- 'Dive thoughts down to my soul' -- raises the question of what in the brain enables us to make moral choices. The French princess Katherine's struggle to communicate with her English future husband in HENRY V leads to the wonder of how our brain masters language. And in MACBETH Macbeth's anguished appeal to his wife's doctor 'Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased .Raze out the written troubles of the brain.' points to urgent discoveries we are still trying to make. Thirty-five of the most beautiful passages from Shakespeare's plays are given here together with stunning images of the brain from researchers around the world. To this intoxicating mix are added performance photos of acclaimed British and American actors -- such as Morgan Freeman as Petruchio Sir Ian McKellen as Prospero Alfre Woodard as Paulina and Anthony Hopkins as King Lear -- from celebrated Shakespeare companies. The result of this partnership among scientist scholar and Shakespeare is a unique view of the human drama and a wonderfully revealing perspective on the brain." . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition./Fine dust jacket. ix 235pp. The Dana Press Hardcover
