MILL, Hugh Robert
Speeches at the Unveiling of the Shackleton Memorial
Title: Speeches at the Unveiling of the Shackleton Memorial. Author: MILL, Hugh Robert. Publisher: London: Royal Geographical Society, 1932. Item is in ORIGINAL Condition, With Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!! Notes & Condition: This is a fascinating report on the Memorial held for an acclaimed hero and visionary explorer. At the Invitation of the Memorial Committee, the company assembled in the Hall of the Royal Geographical Society at 3:00 PM on Saturday the 9th January 1932. These are the proceedings of this meeting. Excerpt from the text: "Twenty-three years ago today, on 9 January 1909, Shackleton stood on the summit of the ice-cap 400 miles nearer the heart of the Antarctic than any predecessor, though still 100 miles from his hoped-for goal. Weary, hungry, cold, and disappointed he yet tingled for triumph in the greatness of his achievement..." End Excerpt. 8 pages, including a frontis illustration of the Shackleton memorial. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, 1874-1922 was the famous British Antarctic explorer. The first of his voyages to Antarctica was made as a member of the expedition (1901-4) of Robert F. Scott. Shackleton was invalided home in 1903, but the experience gained on the Scott expedition aided him greatly as commander of a south polar expedition (1907-9). In the course of this expedition Mt. Erebus was ascended, the south magnetic pole was located, and the polar plateau was crossed to a point less than 100 miles from the South Pole. The scientific results of the expedition were of vast importance. Knighted in 1909, Shackleton published that year an account of his expedition, The Heart of the Antarctic. As commander of a transantarctic expedition, he set out in 1914, planning to enter the Weddell Sea and cross on foot over the south polar region to the Ross Sea, a distance of c.2,000 mi (3,200 km). When his ship Endurance was crushed in the ice in October 1915, he led his party some 180 miles to safety at Elephant Island; from there Shackleton with five companions in a lifeboat made a voyage of c.800 mi (1,290 km) through wild seas, then crossed rugged, glaciated South Georgia Island to reach (May, 1916) a whaling station on its north coast. Shackleton rescued his Elephant Island party and later returned to the Weddell Sea to pick up others left there earlier in the expedition. His South (1919) is an account of the whole expedition. In 1921 Shackleton sailed on the Quest to study Enderby Land but died on ship and was buried on South Georgia Island.

THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472108921 . Very faint shelfwear to book and DJ. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters advise other officeholders and make some administrative decisions it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights voters had to come to Rome or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers as well as students of politics and Roman history.

THE ROMAN NEAR EAST 31 BC - AD 337
Harvard University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0674778855 . Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear ; Carl Newell Jackson Lectures; 9.5 x 1.5 x 6.75 Inches; 624 pages; From Augustus to Constantine the Roman Empire in the Near East expanded step by step southward to the Red Sea and eastward across the Euphrates to the Tigris. In a remarkable work of interpretive history Fergus Millar shows us this world as it was forged into the Roman provinces of Syria Judaea Arabia and Mesopotamia. His book conveys the magnificent sweep of history as well as the rich diversity of peoples religions and languages that intermingle in the Roman Near East. Against this complex backdrop Millar explores questions of cultural and religious identity and ethnicity--as aspects of daily life in the classical world and as part of the larger issues they raise. As Millar traces the advance of Roman control he gives a lucid picture of Rome's policies and governance over its far-flung empire. He introduces us to major regions of the area and their contrasting communities bringing out the different strands of culture communal identity language and religious belief in each. The Roman Near East makes it possible to see rabbinic Judaism early Christianity and eventually the origins of Islam against the matrix of societies in which they were formed. Millar's evidence permits us to assess whether the Near East is best seen as a regional variant of Graeco-Roman culture or as in some true sense oriental. A masterful treatment of a complex period and world distilling a vast amount of literary documentary artistic and archaeological evidence--always reflecting new findings--this book is sure to become the standard source for anyone interested in the Roman Empire or the history of the Near East. .
