Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A genuinely accessible introduction to Freud's theory and its application to literary and cultural studies. Few figures have had as much influence on Western thought as Sigmund Freud. His ideas permeate our culture to such a degree that an understanding of them is indispensable. Yet many otherwise well-informed students in the humanities labor under misconceptions about Freudian theory. There are countless introductions to Freudian psychoanalysis but, surprisingly, none that combine a genuinely accessible account of Freud's ideas with an introduction to their use in literary and cultural studies, as this book does. Written specifically for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate students in courses dealing with literary and cultural criticism, it is also of interest to the general reader. The first part of the book explains Freud's key ideas and refutes many popular misconceptions, using examples throughout. The assumption underlying this account is that Freud offers not simply a model of the mind, but an analysis of the relation between the individual and society. The second part addresses the implications of Freudian psychoanalysis for the study of literature and culture, again using plentiful examples. Existing books focus either onFreudian psychoanalysis in general or on psychoanalytic literary or cultural criticism; the latter tend to be abstract and theoretical in nature. None of them are suitable for readers who are interested in psychoanalysis as a tool for literary and cultural criticism but have no firm knowledge of Freud's ideas. Freud's Theory and Its Use in Literary and Cultural Studies fills this gap. Henk de Berg is Professor of German at the Universityof Sheffield, UK.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Revised and fully updated version of a seminal work in the field of chivalry. A combination of scholarship with quite exemplary thoroughness. SPECTATORA profoundly intelligent book which combines the results of monumental research with elegance and lucidity.DAILY TELEGRAPHThe concept of chivalry is oneof the central ideas of the medieval world. It developed out of the unique intellectual and practical climate of the times, and found expression in both words and deeds. Richard Barber's wide knowledge of medieval literature and history gives special depth to his study of this fascinating subject. From the prehistory of chivalry - the warrior-knights of early medieval Europe and their developing social role - he moves to an exploration of the chansons de geste, the early romances, and the biographies and handbooks for aspiring knights, to discover the early expressions of the chivalric code. In an extended survey of tournaments and of the knight on the battlefield in the incessant warfare of the middle ages, he studies chivalry in action. Aspects of chivalry, the tensions inherent in courtly love and honourable warfare, made the church's antagonism inevitable, but also gave rise to the great adventure of the crusades and the foundation of the military orders, here vividly recounted. Last but not least comes the adoption of the ideals of chivalry by the princes of western Europe in the formation of the secular orders, before the knight was ultimately transformed into the renaissance courtier. Second edition, revised, expanded and updated.Dr RICHARD BARBER is the author of The Arthurian Legends, King Arthur: Hero and Legend, Tournaments, biographies of Henry II and the Black Prince and The Penguin Guide to Medieval Europe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A helpful road map to a future successful career through life stories shared by a group of distinguished university women, all professors of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester.In this inspiring collection of life stories, distinguished women pediatricians reflect on how following their passion for caring for children has led to satisfying and successful careers in the vibrant, ever-changing arena of academic medicine. While some were challenged by a bias against women physicians, themes of optimism and confidence shine as each tells her story.The career paths of these women are as rich and varied as their diverse backgrounds. Several lead federally funded research teams. One is internationally known as a major figure in the "Back to Breastfeeding" movement of the 1960s. Another partners with engineering faculty to create miniature medical devices for newborns. Some are deeply involved in community and international health issues, while others work at the national level to determine how best to teach Pediatrics to medical students in this era of rapid technological andsocial change.Throughout the stories runs a strong connective thread. These doctors discovered at the University of Rochester an environment where their skills would blossom and where they could create satisfying lives for themselves and their families, while working to improve healthcare for the world's children. The strategies they used to overcome old barriers and meet new challenges make this a useful handbook for those looking for a career in any profession.Nancy Wharton Bolger is a writer and editor associated with the University of Rochester Medical Center.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A study of the archer and his weapon from the 11th to the 15th century, focusing on military tactics but also exploring the archer's position in society. It is a delight to read a book which recognises the importance of warfare in medieval times.also.discusses the changing role of the archer in medieval society. SIR STEVEN RUNCIMAN This book traces the historyof the archer in the medieval period, from the Norman Conquest to the Wars of the Roses. From a close study of early evidence, the author shows that the archer's role before the time of Edward I was an important but rarely documented one, and that his new prominence in the fourteenth century was the result of changes in development of military tactics rather than the introduction of the famous "longbow". A second thread of the book examines the archer's role in society, with particular reference to that most famous of all archers, Robin Hood. The final chapters look at the archer in the early fifteenth century and then chronicle the rise of the handgun as the major infantryweapon at the bow's expense. JIM BRADBURY writes and lectures on battles and warfare in England and France in the Middle Ages. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
