Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A new antisemitism is sweeping Europe, and Britain is not been immune. A rise in 'street-level' violence against Jews and synagogues has allegedly been accompanied by an 'elite', or salon, anti-Semitism - manifested in the media, university common rooms and the dinner parties of the chattering classes. For some commentators, such contemporary expressions of old hatreds represent a 'new antisemitism'. But is this really a new phenomenon? Is it antisemitism - or something else? How does it compare with earlier incarnations of Jew-hatred? Who are its perpetrators? And to what extent has the situation in the Middle East contributed to the rise in anti-Jewish sentiments and rhetoric? Has demonisation of Israel only inflamed the issue - or are claims of antisemitism being used in an attempt to silence criticism of Israeli policies? This book debated these questions in greater depth than can be found in the print and broadcast media in the collection of essays by leading Jewish intellectuals, including Geoffrey Alderman, Richard Bolchover, Douglas Davis, Douglas Davis, Ronnie Fraser, Jonathan Freedland, Howard Jacobson, Anthony Julius, Edward Kessler, John D.A Levy, Antony Lerman, Melanie Phillips, Winston Pickett, Peter Pulzer, Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Kate Taylor, Michael Whine and Robert Wistrich.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the YearThe Seleucid Empire (311-64 BCE) was unlike anything the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds had seen. Stretching from present-day Bulgaria to Tajikistan-the bulk of Alexander the Great's Asian conquests-the kingdom encompassed a territory of remarkable ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity; yet it did not include Macedonia, the ancestral homeland of the dynasty. The Land of the Elephant Kings investigates how the Seleucid kings, ruling over lands to which they had no historic claim, attempted to transform this territory into a coherent and meaningful space."This engaging book appeals to the specialist and non-specialist alike. Kosmin has successfully brought together a number of disparate fields in a new and creative way that will cause a reevaluation of how the Seleucids have traditionally been studied."-Jeffrey D. Lerner, American Historical Review"It is a useful and bright introduction to Seleucid ideology, history, and position in the ancient world."-Jan P. Stronk, American Journal of Archaeology.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Winner of the Runciman AwardWinner of the Charles J. Goodwin Award"Tells the story of how the Seleucid Empire revolutionized chronology by picking a Year One and counting from there, rather than starting a new count, as other states did, each time a new monarch was crowned.Fascinating."-Harper'sIn the aftermath of Alexander the Great's conquests, his successors, the Seleucid kings, ruled a vast territory stretching from Central Asia and Anatolia to the Persian Gulf. In 305 BCE, in a radical move to impose unity and regulate behavior, Seleucus I introduced a linear conception of time. Time would no longer restart with each new monarch. Instead, progressively numbered years-continuous and irreversible-became the de facto measure of historical duration. This new temporality, propagated throughout the empire and identical to the system we use today, changed how people did business, recorded events, and oriented themselves to the larger world.Some rebellious subjects, eager to resurrect their pre-Hellenic past, rejected this new approach and created apocalyptic time frames, predicting the total end of history. In this magisterial work, Paul Kosmin shows how the Seleucid Empire's invention of a new kind of time-and the rebellions against this worldview-had far reaching political and religious consequences, transforming the way we organize our thoughts about the past, present, and future."Without Paul Kosmin's meticulous investigation of what Seleucus achieved in creating his calendar without end we would never have been able to comprehend the traces of it that appear in late antiquity.A magisterial contribution to this hitherto obscure but clearly important restructuring of time in the ancient Mediterranean world."-G. W. Bowersock, New York Review of Books"With erudition, theoretical sophistication, and meticulous discussion of the sources, Paul Kosmin sheds new light on the meaning of time, memory, and identity in a multicultural setting."-Angelos Chaniotis, author of Age of Conquests.
