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

GELA The Ancient Greeks in Sicily
Very minor shelfwear to book. Dustjacket has some tears and chipping; The ancient Greeks attempted to dominate the whole Mediterranean basin, and thus invaded Sicily during the 8th century BC, and from various parts of the homeland, they eventually founded Gela (ca. 693 BC) on the south shore, where it prospered and grew as one of the principal Greek centers in Sicily until its eventual defeat and destruction around 280 BC. Over 150 plates, 56 in colour, this book is intended for the general reader, the traveler, and also the specialist in things Greek and Sicilian. ; 224 pages

THE PARTHENON From Antiquity to the Present
Very minor shelfwear. Author's name to ffep. ; This volume offers an overview of the Parthenon from antiquity to the modern era. Recent discoveries, such as the marble sculpture fragments found during the current restoration work on the Acropolis, or a vase excavated in Northern Greece whose decoration echoes a lost pedimental composition, have forced scholars to reconsider many aspects of one of the most important monuments of classical antiquity. Bringing together essays on various aspects of this world-renowned temple, this book examines the dramatic setting of the temple and its impact on modern architects such as Le Corbusier; new reconstructions and interpretations of Pheidias' vast sculptural program; in-depth analysis of architectural refinements; the techniques employed in making the colossal gold-and-ivory cult statue; and a consideration of the Christian and Muslim phases of the Parthenon's history. Collectively, they enhance our understanding of one of the icons of Western art. ; 9.6 X 6.7 X 0.9 inches; 446 pages; Signed by Author
