The Bayeux Tapestry and Its Contexts A Reassessment

The Bayeux Tapestry and Its Contexts A Reassessment
Elizabeth Carson Pastan, Stephen R. Reimer, Kate Gilbert, "The Bayeux Tapestry and Its Contexts: A Reassessment"
English | 2014 | pages: 475 | ISBN: 1843839415 | PDF | 19,7 mb
Aspects of the Bayeux Tapestry (in fact an embroidered hanging) have always remained mysterious, despite much scholarly investigation, not least its design and patron. Here, in the first full-length interdisciplinary approach to the subject, the authors (an art historian and a historian) consider these and other issues. Rejecting the prevalent view that it was commissioned by Odo, the bishop of Bayeux and half-brother of William the Conqueror, or by some other comparable patron, they bring new evidence to bear on the question of its relationship to the abbey of St Augustine's, Canterbury. From the study of art-historical, archeological, literary, historical and documentary materials, they conclude that the monks of St Augustine's designed the hanging for display in their abbey church to tell their own story of how England was invaded and conquered in 1066.

The Art of Law in the International Community

The Art of Law in the International Community
Mary Ellen O'Connell, "The Art of Law in the International Community "
English | ISBN: 1108426662 | 2019 | 328 pages | PDF | 1364 KB
International law evolved to end and prevent armed conflict as much as for any other reason. Yet, the law against war appears weaker today than ever in its long history, evidenced by raging armed conflicts in which people are killed, injured, and forcibly displaced. The environment is devastated, and the planet impoverished. These consequences can be traced to the dominant ideology of realism. In 1946, Hersch Lauterpacht challenged that ideology by contrasting it with the idea of international law, composed of natural law, positive law, and process theory. The Art of Law in the International Community revives his vision, rebuilding the understanding of why international law binds, what its norms require, and how courts are the ideal substitutes for war. The secret to the renewal of international law lies in revitalizing the moral foundation of natural law through drawing on aesthetic philosophy and the arts.

The American Far West in the Twentieth Century

The American Far West in the Twentieth Century
The American Far West in the Twentieth Century By Earl Pomeroy, Richard W. Etulain (editor)
2008 | 600 Pages | ISBN: 0300120737 | PDF | 16 MB
In this richly insightful survey that represents the culmination of decades of research, a leading western specialist argues that the unique history of the American West did not end in the year 1900, as is commonly assumed, but was shaped as muchif not moreby events and innovations in the twentieth century. Earl Pomeroy gathers copious information on economic, political, social, intellectual, and business issues, thoughtfully evaluates it, and draws a new and more nuanced portrait of the West than has ever been depicted before.Pomeroy mines extensive published and unpublished sources to show how the post1900 West charted a path that was influenced by, but separate from, the rest of the country and the world. He deals not only with the West's transition from an agricultural to an urban region but also with the important contributions of minority racial and ethnic groups and women in that transformation. Pomeroy describes a modern Westincreasingly urban, transnational, and multiculturalthat has overcome much of the isolation that challenged it at an earlier time. His final book is nothing short of the definitive source on that West.
