Loving Vampires
Vampire characters are ubiquitous in popular culture, serving as metaphors for society's most sensitive subjects--sexuality, gender roles, race, ethnicity, class--and often channeling widespread fears of immigration, crime, terrorism and addiction. This book explores pop culture's vampires variously as sexual seducers, savage monsters, noble protectors and drainers of human power. The author discusses three real-life role models for vampire characters.

Eliot wrote them over a period of eight years, namely between 1935 and 1942 which was the time of the Second World War. Probably it is to a great extent due to mirroring the identity of wartime Britain that Eliot reached with Four...

The Conqueror's Gift
"An account of the central role that ethnography played in the Roman empire and its transformation in Late Antiquity.

It helps rulers articulate cultural differences with outsiders and sometimes bridge them, and it lets the inhabitants of an empire, especially those who guide its course, understand themselves and their place in the midst of the enemies, allies, and friends who surround them. Whenever provinces are drawn, peace treaties and alliances framed, diplomats sent on mission, decisions taken to go to war, or simply life lived in the midst of unfami...
