This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days This book offers an analysis of Paz's political thought, arguing that it is rooted in two separate and often antagonistic traditions, Liberalism and Romanticism. Grenier shows that Paz's political thought is best approached not so much by looking at the specific positions Paz took in the issues of his day, but rather by uncovering the core values at the heart of Paz's political philosophy. From Art to Politics gives not only a better understanding of Paz's thought, but also a discussion of the political culture and democratization of Mexico. The book takes a novel look at issues such as the relations between art and politics, the role of intellectuals, and the penchant of academics for "machination" theories in the area of art and culture. The result is an account of Paz's work that is both more focused and more ambitious than those offered in previous books on Paz's politics. Features Summary This work analyzes Paz's political thought, arguing that it is rooted in two separate and often antagonistic traditions, Liberalism and Romanticism.

So much is tied up in a countryÆs cuisine... indigenous foods of roots and tubers, native wild herbs, berries and spices, cultural traditions and methods of cooking, foreign influences, ingredients and flavourings both indigenous and introduced. One could almost say that a countryÆs dishes embody the essence of what that country is all about. And this is what World Atlas of Food presents to you: from every continent on the globe (excluding Antarctica, naturally) the essence of traditions, food styles and flavours for 100 countries - all those elements that serve to make each country unique - has been extracted. In many cases neighbouring nations or a cluster of islands, as in the Pacific, share a multitude of dishes and yet, inevitable, a specific ingredient or a culinary twist lends each island its own individuality. World Atlas of Food is a journey of the senses, offering armchair travel into the kitchen of six continents. At the same time, through the recipes of our giggling gourmet, Jenny Morris, which uniquely captures the aromas and flavours of each specific country, you are invited to experience the real taste sensations. The most representative local dishes and drinks are also listed, providing insight into ingredients, flavours, herbs and spices, and giving you an intimate understanding of food and its significance in 100 nations.

Yale University Press, 2007. Hard cover. 283 pages. Very good condition; like new. Under  1kg. Nearly a decade of fiercely divisive debate over foxhunting in Britain culminated with passage of the Hunting with Dogs Act of 2004. But the battle over the future of hunting is not yet resolved, and polarizing right-or-wrong debates continue undiminished. This lively book recounts the long and colorful history of hunting in Britain and offers a fresh perspective on today’s conflicts.   Since William the Conqueror declared wild animals royal property and thereby provoked a burning hatred among his subjects, hunting of all kinds has been a source of social conflict in Britain. The sport is deeply entwined with questions of land and power, class divisions, and social mores. Blood Sport explores these large themes, brings them alive with surprising details and vignettes, and considers how hunting traditions have affected British national identity. Bringing the discussion fully up to date, the book concludes with a thought-provoking critique of current hunting controversies.

Starting as oral rumours, this supposedly supernatural entity moved from rural folklore to metropolitan press sensation, co-existing in literary and theatrical forms before finally degenerating into a nursery lore bogeyman to frighten children. A mercurial and unfixed cultural phenomenon, Spring-Heeled Jack found purchase in both older folkloric traditions and emerging forms of entertainment. Through this intriguing study of a unique and unsettling figure, Karl Bell complicates our appreciation of the differences, interactions and similarities between various types of popular culture between 1837 and 1904. The book draws upon a rich variety of primary source material including folklorist accounts, street ballads, several series of "penny dreadful" stories (and illustrations), journals, magazines, newspapers, comics, court accounts, autobiographies and published reminiscences. The Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack is impressively researched social history and provides a fascinating insight into Victorian cultures. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in nineteenth-century English social and cultural history, folklore or literature. Karl Bell is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Portsmouth.
