COATES VICTORIA C. GARDNER & SEYDL JON L
Antiquity Recovered: The Legacy Of Pompeii And Herculaneum
Getty Publications Los Angeles: 2007. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Beginning in 1709 when their antiquities first were recovered Pompeii and Herculaneum have exercised the historical imagination of the West. This volume presents a diverse array of responses to the sites tracing how perceptions of the past have changed over the course of three centuries of excavations�what the editors call "the strata of interpretation." The thirteen essays range in subject from a reassessment of the contents of the library at Herculaneum's Villa of the Papyri to the symbolic appearance of the ancient world in such films as Roberto Rossellini's Voyage in Italy and Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt. Antiquity Recovered explores the complexities of the reception of the past and helps enhance our understanding of the roles these cities have played and continue to play in Western culture. Victoria C. Gardner Coates is a lecturer in the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania. Jon L. Seydl is associate curator of paintings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

COATES VICTORIA C. GARDNER LAPATIN & SEYDL JON L
The Last Days Of Pompeii: Decadence Apocalypse Resurrection
Getty Publications Los Angeles: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Destroyed yet paradoxically preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79 Pompeii and other nearby sites are usually considered places where we can most directly experience the daily lives of ancient Romans. Rather than present these sites as windows to the past however the authors of The Last Days of Pompeii: Decadence Apocalypse Resurrection explore Pompeii as a modern obsession in which the Vesuvian sites function as mirrors of the present. Through cultural appropriation and projection outstanding visual and literary artists of the last three centuries have made the ancient catastrophe their own expressing contemporary concerns in diverse media�from paintings prints and sculpture to theatrical performances photography and film. This lavishly illustrated volume�featuring the works of artists such as Piranesi Fragonard Kaufmann Ingres Chassriau and Alma-Tadema as well as Duchamp Dali Rothko Rauschenberg and Warhol�surveys the legacy of Pompeii in the modern imagination under the three overarching rubrics of decadence apocalypse and resurrection. Decadence investigates the perception of Pompeii as a site of impending and well-deserved doom due to the excesses of the ancient Romans such as paganism licentiousness greed gluttony and violence. The catastrophic demise of the Vesuvian sites has become inexorably linked with the understanding of antiquity turning Pompeii into a fundamental allegory for Apocalypse to which all subsequent disasters natural or man-made are related from the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 to Hiroshima Nagasaki 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Resurrection examines how Pompeii and the Vesuvian cities have been reincarnated in modern guise through both scientific archaeology and fantasy as each successive cultural reality superimposed its values and ideas on the distant past. Victoria C. Gardner Coates is a lecturer in the Department of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania. Jon L. Seydl is associate curator of paintings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII Decadence, Apocalypse, Resurrection
Decadence investigates the perception of Pompeii as a site of impending and well-deserved doom due to the excesses of the ancient Romans, such as paganism, licentiousness, greed, gluttony, and violence. The catastrophic demise of the Vesuvian sites has become inexorably linked with the understanding of antiquity, turning Pompeii into a fundamental allegory for Apocalypse, to which all subsequent disasters (natural or man-made) are related, from the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Resurrection examines how Pompeii and the Vesuvian cities have been reincarnated in modern guise through both scientific archaeology and fantasy, as each successive cultural reality superimposed its values and ideas on the distant past. ; 11.2 X 9.8 X 1.0 inches; 256 pages; Oversized

Cockburn, Aidan & Eve Cockburn
MUMMIES, DISEASE AND ANCIENT CULTURES
DJ shows some wear at extremities, front board has cup ring - text is clean and unmarked. Overall in VERY GOOD+ condition; To look upon a mummy is to come face to face with our past. This book presents the story of mummification as a practice worldwide. Mummies have been found on every continent, some deliberately preserved by use of a variety of complex techniques (as with the ancient Egyptians) , others accidentally by dry baking heat, intense cold and ice, or by tanning in peat bogs. By examining these preserved humans, we can get profound insights into the lives, health, culture and deaths of individuals and populations long gone. The first edition of this book was acclaimed as a classic. This readable new edition builds on these foundations, investigating the fantastic new findings in South America, Europe and the Far East. It will be a must-have volume for anyone working in paleopathology and a fascinating read for all those interested in anthropology, archaeology, and the history of medicine. ; 360 pages
