Download or read book The Mask of Socrates written by Paul Zanker and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated work provides a new and deeper perspective on the interaction of visual representation and classical culture from the fifth century B.C. to the fourth century A.D. Drawing on a variety of source materials, including Greco-Roman literature, historiography, and philosophy, coupled with artistic renderings, Paul Zanker forges the first comprehensive history of the visual representation of Greek and Roman intellectuals. He takes the reader from the earliest visual images of Socrates and Plato to the figures of Christ, the Apostles, and contemporaneous pagan and civic dignitaries. Through his interpretations of the postures, gestures, facial expressions, and stylistic changes of particular pieces, we come to know these great poets and philosophers through all of their various personas—the prophetic wise man, the virtuous democratic citizen, or the self-absorbed bon vivant. Zanker's analysis of how the iconography of influential thinkers and writers changed demonstrates the rise and fall of trends and the movement of schools of thought and belief, each successively embodying the most valued characteristics of the period and culture. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1995.

Book The Conscience of Abe s Turn  The Birth of the Conscience  Volume 1  Season 1  Episodes 1 4

Download or read book The Conscience of Abe s Turn The Birth of the Conscience Volume 1 Season 1 Episodes 1 4 written by J. Timothy King and published by J. Timothy King. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of Espionage, Romance, and Abuse of Power in the fictional town of Abe's Turn: Somewhere in America, the people live in a police state. Ted and Clydene Jackson have felt it personally. So have their friends Mira and Michael, and all the victims they've tried to help, and all the volunteers lobbying to remove Police Chief Baedes from power. For Baedes's sole ambition is to "protect" the town of Abe's Turn, at all costs, even if he has to destroy a few innocents in the process. And he will knock down anyone who tries to get in his way. However, these four friends, unknown even to them, have the means, motive, and opportunity to restrain the forces around them, if they dare. and if their own feelings for each other don't stop them before they even begin. Politically incorrect, distinctly libertarian, and teeming with complex characters, this epic novelette series (with a planned 24-episode story arc) explores the heart of freedom and the dangers of power. It blurs the lines between state, revolution, and terrorism. It asks what Thomas Jefferson once asked: "What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?" (This first volume contains only Season 1, Episodes 1-4 of the series.)

Book La   tz aw  ch

    Book Details:
  • Author : R. McKenna Brown
  • Publisher : University of Texas Press
  • Release : 2010-06-28
  • ISBN : 9780292783362
  • Pages : 324 pages

Download or read book La tz aw ch written by R. McKenna Brown and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaqchikel is one of approximately thirty Mayan languages spoken in Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, and, increasingly, the United States. Of the twenty-two Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala, Kaqchikel is one of the four "mayoritarios," those with the largest number of speakers. About half a million people living in the central highlands between Guatemala City and Lake Atitlán speak Kaqchikel. And because native Kaqchikel speakers are prominent in the field of Mayan linguistics, as well as in Mayan cultural activism generally, Kaqchikel has been adopted as a Mayan lingua franca in some circles. This innovative language-learning guide is designed to help students, scholars, and professionals in many fields who work with Kaqchikel speakers, in both Guatemala and the United States, quickly develop basic communication skills. The book will familiarize learners with the words, phrases, and structures used in daily communications, presented in as natural a way as possible, and in a logical sequence. Six chapters introduce the language in context (greetings, the classroom, people, the family, food, and life) followed by exercises and short essays on aspects of Kaqchikel life. A grammar summary provides in-depth linguistic analysis of Kaqchikel, and a glossary supports vocabulary learning from both Kaqchikel to English and English to Kaqchikel. These resources, along with sound files and other media on the Internet at ekaq.stonecenter.tulane.edu, will allow learners to develop proficiency in all five major language skills—listening comprehension, speaking, reading, writing, and sociocultural understanding.
