Politics of a Persian Dynasty
Scholars commonly view the fourth century B.C. Aegean and eastern Mediterranean world before the time of Alexander the Great in terms of Greek concerns and activities. In Politics of a Persian Dynasty, however, Stephen Ruzicka adopts a non-Greek perspective and reconstructs the history of the Hecatomnid dynasty of Caria in the context of Aegean and eastern Mediterranean politics. Located in the southwestern corner of Anatolia (modern Turkey), Caria was one of the semiautonomous satrapies of the Persian Empire in the fourth century. It was governed from the 390s to the 330s by the Hecatomnids, a native dynastic family whose best-known member was Maussollus. This comprehensive account provides...
The Greek World in the Fourth Century
The contributors in this volume present a systematic survey of the struggles of Athens, Sparta and Thebes to dominate Greece in the fourth century - only to be overwhelmed by the newly emerging Macedonian kingdom of Philip II. Additionally, the situation of Greeks in Sicily, Italy and Asia is portrayed, showing the geographical and political diffusion of the Greeks in a broader historical context. This book will provide the reader with a clearly drawn and vivid picture of the main events and leading personalities in this decisive period of Greek history.
Trouble in the West
This volume provides an account of the Persian-Egyptian War, a conflict that continued for nearly the 200-year duration of the Persian Empire.
Trouble in the West
Trouble in the West provides the first full and continuous account of the Persian-Egyptian War, a conflict that continued for nearly the two-hundred-year duration of the Persian Empire. Despite its status as the largest of all ancient Persian military enterprises- including any aimed at Greece- this conflict has never been reconstructed in any detailed and comprehensive way. Thus, Trouble in the West adds tremendously to our understanding of Persian imperial affairs. At the same time, it dramatically revises our understanding of eastern Mediterranean and Aegean affairs by linking Persian dealings with Greeks and other peoples in the west to Persia's fundamental, ongoing Egyptian concerns. In...
Chemistry of Plant Natural Products
Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers working with natural products, Professors Sunil and Bani Talapatra provide a highly accessible compilation describing all aspects of plant natural products. Beginning with a general introduction to set the context, the authors then go on to carefully detail nomenclature, occurrence, isolation, detection, structure elucidation (by both degradation and spectroscopic techniques) stereochemistry, conformation, synthesis, biosynthesis, biological activity and commercial applications of the most important natural products of plant origin. Each chapter also includes detailed references (with titles) and a list of recommended books for additional study making this outstanding treatise a useful resource for teachers of chemistry and researchers working in universities, research institutes and industry.
Fundamentals of Biochemistry

The book is flourished with numerous illustrations and molecular structures which would not only help the students in assimilating extensive information on a spectrum of concepts in biochemistry, but also help them in retaining the concepts in an effective manner.
Accustomed to Obedience?
Many histories of Ancient Greece center their stories on Athens, but what would that history look like if they didn’t? There is another way to tell this story, one that situates Greek history in terms of the relationships between smaller Greek cities and in contact with the wider Mediterranean. In this book, author Joshua P. Nudell offers a new history of the period from the Persian wars to wars that followed the death of Alexander the Great, from the perspective of Ionia. While recent scholarship has increasingly treated Greece through the lenses of regional, polis, and local interaction, there has not yet been a dedicated study of Classical Ionia. This book fills this clear gap in the li...
Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors
A comparative history that reconsiders China's relations with the rest of Eurasia, Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors challenges the notion that inhabitants of medieval China and Mongolia were irreconcilably different from each other.
World History
World History: Journeys from Past to Present uses common themes to present an integrated and comprehensive survey of human history from its origins to the present day. By weaving together thematic and regional perspectives in coherent chronological narratives, Goucher and Walton transform the overwhelming sweep of the human past into a truly global story that is relevant to the contemporary issues of our time. Revised and updated throughout, the second edition of this innovative textbook combines clear chronological progression with thematically focused chapters. In this volume, chapters are divided into three parts as follows: PART 1. EMERGENCE (Human origins to 500 CE) PART 2. ORDER (1 CE-...
Postcolonial Amazons
Scholars have long been divided over whether the Amazons of Greek legend actually existed. Postcolonial Amazons offers a groundbreaking re-evaluation of the place of martial women in antiquity, bridging the gap between myth and reality by expanding our conception of the Amazon archetype to include the real female warriors of the ancient world.
