Explores trans-Mediterranean connections between peoples, cultures, and artistic traditions traditionally marginalized by Graeco-Roman bias.
"Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a therapeutic practice that employs a "conversational style" to effect change in clients or, more precisely, to encourage ambivalent clients to talk themselves into change. Originally developed to treat problem drinkers, MI has spread dramatically across a wide variety of professional fields including psychology, dentistry, education, nutrition, and corrections. In Working the Difference, E. Summerson Carr uses MI to explore how cultural forms, particularly forms of expertise, are constituted and circulated. The result is a compelling analysis of the profoundly American preoccupations at the heart of this practice--from democratic ideals of autonomy and freedom of speech to Protestant ethical commitments and the core principles of American Pragmatism."--

Excavation reports and analysis of material remains from Vagnari, southeast Italy, facilitate a detailed phasing of a rural settlement, both in the late Republican period, when it was established on land leased from the Roman state, and later when it became the hub (vicus) of a vast agricultural estate owned by the emperor himself.
This volume gathers brand new essays from some of the most respected scholars of ancient history, archaeology, and physical anthropology to create an engaging overview of the lives of women in antiquity. The book is divided into ten sections, nine focusing on a particular area, and also includes almost 200 images, maps, and charts. The sections cover Mesopotamia, Egypt, Anatolia, Cyprus, the Levant, the Aegean, Italy, and Western Europe, and include many lesser-known cultures such as the Celts, Iberia, Carthage, the Black Sea region, and Scandinavia. Women's experiences are explored, from ordinary daily life to religious ritual and practice, to motherhood, childbirth, sex, and building a career. Forensic evidence is also treated for the actual bodies of ancient women. Women in Antiquity is edited by two experts in the field, and is an invaluable resource to students of the ancient world, gender studies, and women's roles throughout history.
