    Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 2013 OUP hardcover edition. Light reading wear, wear and small tear to edge of dustjacket else good condition. From the cover: For generations of historians, 1789 was a defining moment in world history and it has been said to mark, amongst other things, the triumph of the bourgeoisie, the birth of modernity, the rise of nationalism or even the invention of ideology. To explain an event of such magnitude it was understandable that historians should seek no less portentous explanations of its origins and that factors such as the rise of capitalism, class struggle or the impact of the Enlightenment were cited as the long-term causes of Revolution. In recent years, however, there has been a preoccupation with the actual course of the Revolution. The prevailing concern with political culture and gender as analytical tools has illuminated developments in Paris and in the French provinces, and has brought to prominence many themes inadequately explored during earlier scholarly generations. Rather less attention is given currently to how France was plunged into revolutionary turmoil, which is now taken largely as a 'given'. The present collection, by contrast, focuses once again upon the origins of the dramatic events within and beyond France which transformed later eighteenth-century Europe so comprehensively and established the terms of political and social struggle for the next two centuries. It presents a series of up-to-date essays which, collectively, provide a new interpretation of the origins of the Revolution. Uniquely among recent contributions to the field, this volume transcends national historiographical traditions and includes contributions by leading experts from France, Britain and the United States, giving it a breadth of approach which previous scholarship has lacked. Contents: Preface Introduction: The crisis of the absolute monarchy by Julian Swann How, and how not, to use the concept of crisis in the reign of Louis XVI by Jean-Pierre Poussou The end of a golden age or the implosion of a false absolutism? The Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia from absolutism to revolution, 1685-1814 by Michael Broers From servant of the king to 'idol of the nation': The breakdown of personal monarchy in Louis XVI's France by Julian Swann The marechal de Castries and the pre-revolution by Munro Price The problem with Necker's Compte rendu au roi (1781) by Joel Felix Necker and aristocratic constitutionalism: the British connection by Nigel Aston The culture of war in Europe, 1750-1815 by David A. Bell The Austrian alliance, the Seven Years' War and the emergence of a French 'national' foreign policy, 1756-1790 by Thomas E. Kaiser A model of conduct from the age of chivalry? Honour, international decline and the end of the Bourbon monarchy by Hamish Scott Franco-British naval rivalry and the crisis of the monarchy, 1759-1789 by Olivier Chaline 'Complaints lost in the wind' - French India and the crisis of the absolute monarchy: a global dimension? by Mike Rapport The Maison militaire du roi and the disintegration of the old regime by Guy Rowlands The crisis of the nobility at the twilight of the monarchy by Michel Figeac The making of a bourgeois identity? Urban histories and their historians in eighteenth-century France by Clarisse Coulomb William 'Bill' Doyle and the Origins of the French Revolution by Tim Blanning.…

    Paperback. Condizione: New. This volume presents the pottery from the tomb of Maya and Meryt (located in the New Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara) in its archaeological context. Volume I was devoted to the reliefs, and volume II to the objects and skeletal remains from the tomb. The closely dated burial assemblage of Maya (Year 9 of Horemheb) and associated offering pottery form the basis for tracing the development of pottery forms in the late Eighteenth Dynasty and continuing into the Ramesside Period. The wealth of blue-painted pottery (amounting to 187 vessels) is carefully described, the motifs represented in the designs are discussed, and aspects of the chronological development of blue-painted pottery are illustrated. 96 colour photographs are included showing many of these beautiful blue-painted vessels. Numerous inscriptions on the pottery provide interesting information on the actual contents of the vessels provided for Maya's burial.…

    Couverture souple. Condizione: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Le Caire 2024. -- As New-- Hardback - 28 x 21,5 cm . -------- XXX-681 pages. ************** "".John H. Taylor combines a great breadth of Egyptological knowledge and experience (shared by few museum curators) with a modest and unassuming personality. For three and a half decades his scholarship has provided an unsung underpinning to the British Museum's Department of Egyptian Antiquities (now the Department of Egypt and Sudan). During this time he has maintained a determined continuity with the best traditions and aspirations of the past through his high academic standards. The title of this book borrows unashamedly from a workshop held in John's honour at the Museum in November 2022. Its theme, From Objects to Histories, encapsulates this curator's combined talentsin the physical evaluation of an Egyptian artefact, and in the teasing out of its past history and modern relevance from archives and the records of early travellers and collectors. John's area of special interest is the study of funerary practices and funerary goods of Egypt's New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period, above all the coffins in which he is today pre-eminent. He has published extensively and lectured widely on a range of fundamental topics. During the 1990s, he supervised the reinstallation of the 'Mummy Galleries' (among the most popular rooms in the British Museum), and since then has presented on aspects of ancient Egyptian funerary customs in a whole range of temporary exhibitions. Particularly celebrated is John's pioneering work in the use of modern, non-destructive technologies for the investigation of mummified remains. His exhibitions on this theme, beginning with 'Mummy: the Inside Story', and offshoots of it, have travelled the world, further enhancing his reputation for successful research and intellectual rigour. This volume contains the contributions of over sixty of his colleagues and friends who wanted to honour John's achievements, and this reflects both the esteem in which he is held within Egyptology and the breadth of his interests.
