Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This work traces the experience of Jews in Europe during the vital and turbulent period from 1400-1600. As European politics, society, economy and religion underwent epoch-making changes, the treatment of Europe's Jews by the non-Jewish majority was, then as in later periods, a symptom of so…cial problems and tensions in the Continent as a whole.

Subjects covered include the Jews' own economic presence and culture, social relations between Jews and Christians, as well as the policies and actions of Christian authorities in Church and State. The author also draws upon original source material to convey popular Christian prejudices about Jews, including myths about Jewish "devilishness", money-grabbing and "ritual murder" of Christian children. This volume aims to provide a coherent working collection of texts for lecturers, teachers and students who wish to understand the experience of Jewish Europeans in this period.Full introductory and explanatory material also makes accesible the historical context of the subject and highlights the insights offered by the documents, as well as the pitfalls to be avoided in this area of historical enquiry. Through a broad-ranging collection of documents, John Edwards sets out to present a vivid picture of the Jewish presence in European life during this vital and turbulent period.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The life and death, but also the creative work of famous musicians is closely linked to their personal medical histories. In "Famous Composers Diseases Reloaded" these case histories are vividly reconstructed on the basis of authentic biographical testimonies and closely linked to the person…alities of the musicians. The latest research findings on the pathophysiology of these composers will be woven into the overall picture. Was Paganini's "devilishness" caused by a hereditary disease? Did Scarlatti have strange signs of illness on his fingers? What did Bach really die of? How did "Christel" from a dubious milieu change Schumann's entire life? What aggravated Ravel's underlying illness so that he did not complete a single composition in the last five years before his death? How did Tarrega manage to play the guitar again after his stroke with hemiplegia? Did the Brazilian Villa-Lobos' worldwide reputation help him live longer thanks to the best treatment available to him?Andreas Otte, physician and musician, has incorporated the latest medical history research into the composers' pathographies. This book is an exciting and "well-tempered" reading experience not only for physicians, music lovers, musicologists and musicians, but for all readers who want to develop a basic understanding of the pathophysiology and life scores of these great masters under current conditions from today's perspective. The life and death, but also the creative work of famous musicians is closely linked to their personal medical histories.

My Uncle Silas is a book of short stories about a bucolic elderly Bedfordshire man, written by H. E. Bates and illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. Bates's Uncle Silas figure, and many of the lineaments of his character, were based on a real person named Joseph Betts, the husband of H. E. Bates's maternal grandmother's sister Mary Ann. Betts lived in a village in the Ouse Valley, was born in the early 1840s, and lived to the early 1930s. The figure he portrays is Rabelaisian and robust, a true countryman of pithy and roguish character, simultaneously earthy and whimsical, crabbed and wicked, yet full of humour and "strong original devilishness." Ref DDD 3. Edward Ardizzone (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: New. As European politics, society, economy and religion underwent epoch-making changes between 1400 and 1600, the treatment of Europe's Jews by the non-Jewish majority was, then as in later periods, a symptom of social problems and tensions in the Continent as a whole.Through a broad-ranging collection of…documents, John Edwards sets out to present a vivid picture of the Jewish presence in European life during this vital and turbulent period. Subjects covered include the Jews' own economic presence and culture, social relations between Jews and Christians, the policies and actions of Christian authorities in Church and State. He also draws upon original source material to convey ordinary people's prejudices about Jews, including myths about Jewish 'devilishness', money-grabbing, and 'ritual murder' of Christian children.Full introductory and explanatory material makes accessible the historical context of the subject and highlights the insights offered by the documents as well as the pitfalls to be avoided in this area of historical enquiry.This volume aims to provide a coherent working collection of texts for lecturers, teachers and students who wish to understand the experience of Jewish Europeans in this period.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Minimal shelf wear. Steve Schapiro (born 1934) is the photographer behind countless now-classic portraits of rock stars, film stars and politicians from the 1960s and 70s. He has worked as a film set photographer on more than 200 Hollywood movies; he has designed several iconic film pos…ters, most notably for Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver and The Godfather Part III; and as a documentary photographer, he recorded the political tumult of the 1960s and 1970s, in photo essays on narcotics addiction, civil rights protests and presidential campaigns. This volume looks back at Schapiro's half-century career, reproducing famous images alongside new and unseen work. It includes portraits of the stars as never before seen: Robert De Niro, in full Taxi Driver combat costume, posed in front of his cab with Mohican and an improbably chirpy smile; Jack Nicolson, nose bandaged, tongue out at the camera on the set of Chinatown; Marlon Brando, grinning with theatrical devilishness while being made up for The Godfather. Also gathered here are portraits of artists such as René Magritte, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol; directors such as Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, John Huston, Roman Polanski, Otto Preminger and Orson Welles; film stars such as Johnny Depp, Jodie Foster, Dustin Hoffman, Sophia Loren, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman and Robert Redford; musicians such as David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Nico, Diana Ross, Ike and Tina Turner and Frank Zappa; and images from Schapiro's political photojournalism, with portraits of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, among others.

Contact seller5-star sellerUndated, ca. 1892. 32 pp, illustrated with portraits and courtroom scenes. Original pictorial wrappers are missing a few large chips, and there is some staining in the text--mostly minor, but more significant on four pages (though not affecting legibility); good. On July 25, 1891, the Utica Globe published a story under the head…line "Atrocity Unparalleled!" which opined that "never before did a crime throw the people of New Hampshire into such a state of wild excitement nor excite such a profound and far-reaching desire for vengeance as has the fearful roadside butchery at Hanover [N.H.] Friday evening last. Among all the many remarkable crimes which figure in New England history none exceeds in devilishness of design or brutality or boldness of execution the murder of beautiful, rich, and cultured Miss Christie Warden by the vindictive, educated, and mysterious farmhand Frank Almy. It is a remarkable story of infatuation, rejected advances and horrible revenge." This perhaps overstates the case, but the situation did have drama. After repeated attempts to win the affections of Miss Warden, Almy gave up and shot her in the head. He then made the odd decision to hide out in the Warden family barn, where he managed to go undetected for an entire month. His discovery led to a 10-hour standoff with police that ended with Almy being shot twice in the leg. Once they had him in custody, police determined that his name was actually George Abbott and that he was an escapee from the New Hampshire State Prison, where he had been serving a fifteen-year sentence for burglary. Almy confessed in an attempt to bargain for his life, but was nonetheless condemned to death.
