Crescent Moon Over Carolina
The first and only book-length biography of William Moultrie Crescent Moon over Carolina examines the life of Major General William Moultrie (1730-1805) who is best remembered for his valiant defense of an unfinished log fort on Sullivan's Island at the entrance to Charleston harbor against a determined British naval attack on June 28, 1776. While the Continental Congress in Philadelphia considered a draft of the Declaration of Independence, Moultrie and his garrison of South Carolinians proved that untested, but courageous, American soldiers could stand firm and prevail against British might. C. L. Bragg combines a scholarly survey of lowcountry South Carolina culture, the American Revolution, and the early political history of the state and the United States. Bragg also brings to light primary sources that are published here for the first time—revealing documents that provide fresh insight into the political and cultural values of Moultrie and his fellow South Carolinians.
On Silencing
The phenomenon of silencing has taken on new salience in the wake of #metoo and controversies around free speech. Using tools from the social philosophy of language, Mary Kate McGowan's On Silencing explains, in an accessible way, what silencing is and why it is important. Understanding silencing as a failure of communication, McGowan shows how communication can fail in one of three ways: one can be prevented from speaking, a speaker can be misunderstood, and a speaker can be understood but not affect the world as one should (such as when orders are not followed, refusals are not respected, and assertions are not believed). McGowan also explains how silencing is more likely to happen when we are trying to communicate across difference, and she provides concrete suggestions for what we can do--both as speakers and as hearers--to avoid contributing to harmful forms of silencing. In addition to explaining a pervasive social phenomenon in an accessible way, On Silencing makes novel contributions to current academic debates about silencing.
Beyond the Pampas
An entrancing and highly unusual account of a journey to the ends of the earth in search of a dream. Imogen Herrad sets off in search of the descendants of the nineteenth-century colony of Welsh settlers in Patagonia, in the deep south of Argentina, and discovers that Welsh-speaking communities, proud of their heritage, still exist there today. She also discovers a country and a way of life hugely different from her European experience. Her explorations lead Herrad beyond the Welsh to discover the even more remarkable story of the Mapuche, Tehuelche and other indigenous tribes, who have suffered the all too familiar fate of colonised peoples. This unexpected direction gives Herrad a new perspective on her own life and those of others, as she ends her travels standing on a Patagonian hillside, part of an ancient Mapuche ceremony of the land.
Sports Knight
Sports Knight uncovers the life stories behind the nation’s sporting knights and dames, offering a compelling alternative history of British sport and society across the past century. Why were these sporting greats held up as national role models? And what does this say about our priorities and values? Inevitably, the book features more men than women, more rich than poor and more white people than black people. That, in itself, is revealing. For no matter what we think of the selection process (‘an utter crapshoot’ is the view of one national newspaper), the stories of the sporting heroes whom the government has chosen to honour with a title tell us much about the history of British sport and society. The six-time Olympic champion Chris Hoy once said, ‘To become a knight from riding a bike – it’s mad!’ And he’s right: it is mad. But, as Sports Knight shows, there is method in the madness.
Kelet-Európa néptörténete Chattiak és Skythák
Mészáros Gyula turkológus és etnográfus Kelet-Európa néptörténete – Chattiak és skythák című műve az egyik legjelentősebb magyar nyelvű őstörténeti munka, amely a szkíták és a kis-ázsiai népek kapcsolatát vizsgálja. Mészáros Gyula elmélete szerint az anatóliai hattik (nem tévesztendő össze az indoeurópai hettitákkal) tekinthetők a későbbi szkíták közvetlen elődeinek. A szerző a Hettita és a Méd Birodalom bukása utáni népmozgásokat elemzi, érvelve amellett, hogy ezen ősi kis-ázsiai népcsoportok vándoroltak északra, Kelet-Európa pusztáira. A könyv gazdagon illusztrált, és a szerző turkológiai ismereteire alapozva von párhuzamot az ókori keleti és a pusztai lovas népek műveltsége között. A mű az eredeti kiadás reprint változata.

A Doll's House and Other Plays
The plays of Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) are critically acclaimed throughout the world. The father of modern drama, Ibsen broke with theatrical conventions and created a more realistic form of drama that used the stage as a forum for debating social problems, notably the rights of the individual, and the damaging effects of orthodoxy. This collection of four plays contains, in A Doll’s House (1879) and Hedda Gabler (1890), his most striking depictions of the struggle by individuals - especially women - to realise their full potential; it also presents Peer Gynt (1867), an early verse tour de force, not originally intended for the stage, on the nature of the self, and The Master Builder (1892), a play that explores the clash between the old and the new in richly metaphorical language. This collection returns to the acclaimed translations of William Archer (1856-1924), who through these renditions played a major role in promoting Ibsen’s reputation outside Norway. Archer was also a critic, who with actress Elizabeth Robbins and dramatist George Bernard Shaw was central in the modernisation of English theatre.
Johannes Brahms
Johannes Brahms is often cast as repressed or emotionally distant. This nuanced biography by acclaimed biographer John Worthen reveals a more complex and human figure – brilliant, passionate and deeply committed both to his art and to those he loved. Brahms’s lifelong devotion to Clara Schumann shaped much of his personal and creative life, while his refusal to conform to social expectations kept him at odds with the genteel world around him. Raised in modest circumstances, he remained proudly working class even as he became one of the greatest composers of his time, with works ranging from the intimacy of the ‘Alto Rhapsody’ to the humane power of ‘A German Requiem’. Worthen shows us the man behind the music – blunt, brilliant and fiercely alive.
What Now, Mr Wolf?

She and her grandmother, one-eyed Maryanka, known as the 'whisperers', managed to survive several brutal regimes, feared and respected by their neighbours for their powers of healing and witchcraft. Caustic; harrowing, yet leavened with black humour, What Now, Mr Wolf? offers an unforgettable oral testimony of the dark days of recent European history. Ryna, prisoner of her grandmother Darafeya's memories of relentless violence, tries to make her peace with them and remake a life for herself in this troubled place.

Get Hooked to Magic
The book celebrates magic found in everyday lives through four distinct stories by different authors: Cyrus the Whyrus by Lavanya Karthik (Illus. Priya Kuriyan): Cyrus has a never-ending supply of "whys" that buzz around like bees, driving everyone crazy until someone finds a way to stop them. Who’s There? by Hansda Sowendra Sekhar (Illus. Anupama Ajinkya Apte): A spooky, whimsical tale where panic-stricken cats and strange voices from the attic leave characters wondering exactly who—or what—is there. Gawa’s Bag of Good Regards by Anushka Ravishankar (Illus. Canato Jimo): While everyone asks Gawa what he wants to be, Gawa is much more focused on what he wants to do. I Won’t Wash My Hair by Aparna Kapur (Illus. Ogin Nayim): Divya flatly refuses to wash her hair, leading to a collection of pencils, peanuts, and paintbrushes getting stuck in her mane.
Visions in the Frame
Reveals how mise-en-scene has shaped the fields of film and television studies. Visions in the Frame provides a detailed evaluation of the journey and status of mise-en-scene—the organization of the visual field within the frame—as a critical concept in film and television studies. The first part of the book looks at the persistence of mise-en-scene within film studies amid a series of fluctuations in theoretical, historical, cultural, philosophical, and critical approaches. The second part shifts focus to consider television studies and the extent to which mise-en-scene has remained an ambiguous element in the growth of the discipline. The third part engages in a series of close readings from a range of styles and genres of television shows, exploring the relationship between visual composition, meaning, and significance as a central critical focus. Across the three parts of the book, Visions in the Frame presents a rigorous and valuable context for understanding the contrasting position and influence of mise-en-scene within film and television studies, using this to offer guidance for its future role within both disciplines.

Universal Tyranny
Elucidates the shared insight into the critique of tyrannical rule among Plato, Xenophon, and Aristotle. Universal Tyranny offers the first comprehensive interpretation of the critique of tyranny in the thought of Socrates's greatest students: Plato, Aristotle, and Xenophon. The Socratics are the only thinkers to confront the problem of tyranny on its own terms, as a permanent and plausibly attractive option in politics. They explore what people find attractive in tyrannical power and elucidate the core psychological features of tyrannical ambition: pleasure in violence toward enemies, hostility to the rule of law, a desire for love and admiration, and a rejection of any limit to the fulfillment of one's desires. In their view, these characteristics are not the result of anomalous sadism but of misguided and unhealthy versions of attributes that otherwise play an important role in human flourishing. Through a synthetic study of the early Socratic school, author Avery Williams argues that tyrannical rule debases not only the tyrant's subject but the tyrant himself, making true human excellence impossible. Tyranny thus fails at the fundamental aim of politics: It makes neither ruler nor ruled happy.
Derrida and Prosthetic Usage; or, How to Return to Cinder
Explores in both theory and practice the deconstructive demand to never let traces die. At a time when technological advancements, especially LLMs, have all of us wondering about the future of reading and writing, Derrida and Prosthetic Usage; or, How to Return to Cinder studies deconstruction as an ethical injunction to read and write on every technological surface one can find or create. To study this general theory of deconstruction, and Derrida's powerful demand that we "never let the dead bury the dead," this book works in tandem with the website Return to Cinder, an enormous concordance of notes on Derrida taken by author Jake Reeder. Less media studies and more a reading of philosophy and thought in general, Reeder claims that all thought, speech, and writing are forms of re-marking, and that imbedded in the condensation of every re-mark is the demand to create new technological formats. Thus, returning to cinder is both a call for more technological innovation in the humanities and a call to leave more traces.
