Blood, Soil and Art
The years immediately preceding World War II in Italy were full of social changes, the phenomenal growth of Fascism and the confusing death of old ideas, values and classes. New dangers and challenges burgeoned until it seemed as if the frantic energy of a masquerade ball prevailed with everyone wearing fancy uniforms and dreaming of conquest. In neighboring Germany, the ranting and rampaging birth of Nazi ideas was followed by Hitlers lightning-strike invasions of European neighbors. These strikes were aimed to gain land and power, change old ideas, entrench and strengthen pure Aryan racially-grounded Nazi values, as well as destroy anything or anyone not compatible with the goals of the gl...
Millard Meiss. Tra connoisseurship, iconologia e Kulturgeschichte
Membro di quella prima generazione formatasi nell'età dell'oro della storia dell'arte americana tra gli anni Venti e Trenta, Millard Meiss (1904-1975) elaborò un originale e multiforme approccio metodologico. Da un lato, la scienza del conoscitore del primo maestro, Richard Offner, trovò applicazione nei saggi sul Trecento toscano, da Francesco Traini al Camposanto di Pisa, alle contese tra Duccio e Cimabue, alla questione assisiate. Dall'altro, lo studio dei rapporti tra Italia e Fiandra e il loro incrocio nella miniatura francese fu, invece, stimolato dall'incontro con Panofsky, insieme a una riformulazione del proprio metodo ora orientato all'indagine del significato dell'opera.

The Authority of the International Committee of the Red Cross
This book conducts the first ever comprehensive study of the ICRC’s interpretations and law-ascertainments. It analyses in detail their impact on the development of international humanitarian law and international law in general as well as the reasons for their impact. This analysis involves the discussion of the ICRC’s authority. Is it legal or just factual authority? The analysis also illuminates the direction that IHL – and international law in general – develops. This insight sheds light on the question of the current type of international law, i.e., what international law is and who makes it.
Visualizing Jews Through the Ages
This volume explores literary and material representations of Jews, Jewishness and Judaism from antiquity to the twenty-first century. Gathering leading scholars from within the field of Jewish Studies, it investigates how the debates surrounding literary and material images within Judaism and in Jewish life are part of an on-going strategy of image management - the urge to shape, direct, authorize and contain Jewish literary and material images and encounters with those images - a strategy both consciously and unconsciously undertaken within multifarious arenas of Jewish life from early modern German lands to late twentieth-century North London, late Antique Byzantium to the curation of contemporary Holocaust exhibitions.

Understanding Buddhism
Jacobson presents Buddhism unencumbered by Western categories and concepts, free from the cognitive bias, from the concept-oriented, definition-minded preoccupations inherited from the ancient Greeks. It is an interpretation of the central ideas that have characterized all forms of Buddhism for 25 centuries.
Make the Cougar Purr
Hannah, a middle-aged woman, survived her husband's constant infidelity by drowning her sorrow in booze and spending his money freely.

Driven by rage, and desperate to find a new identity for herself, she turns into a prancing cougar on the hunt...
