Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Volume One only of the three-volume edition, generally credited as the first edition in English (though that honor may actually belong to the four-volume Taylor-Hetherington edition of 1842-44, from the German third edition, translator not known.) This Chapman edition of 1846 translated (though the translator is not credited in the text) by Mary Ann Evans, and thus the first published work of the author who would later write as "George Eliot." Rebound in generic gray (or gray-green) boards with title and author stamped to spine, with new endpapers. Thumbnail-sized stain to top page edges, possibly blood. Aside from an unobtrusive Dewey decimal in pencil to blank verso of title page, the only remaining library marking is a "Hotchkiss School Library" blindstamp to title page, overstamped in red "Withdrawn." 423 pp., followed by a 16-page catalog of other works from the publisher. Two small holes have been torn in the last leaf of this catalog, with the loss of perhaps 20 words of catalog text. Strauss applied historical methods to determine that much found in the gospels cannot be literally true, for example the report by two of the evangelists that Joseph and Mary, residents of Nazareth, were required to travel to obscure and far-away Bethlehem in answer to the summons of a Roman census that all men go to the city where their family originated in order to be counted. Such a logistically absurd undertaking would have been foreign to Roman practice, and that's before we even consider that there is no ancient evidence that any such census was ordered or taken in Judea or Galilee at or near that time. The chroniclers' need, of course, was to explain how Jesus -- who everyone knew was from Nazareth -- might have come to be born in little Bethlehem, as supposedly required by certain earlier messianic prophesies.

(Student slogan, London, 2003) "We are told that this world represents our best hope for intellectual vitality and creativity. We are also told that we should pay more to enter it and experience its rich resources. Yet those rich resources are increasingly marginalized by cultures of assessment and regulation, the heavy costs of which (both financial and intellectual) are to be carried by students. Increasingly students are being asked to pay for the costs of the regulation of higher education rather than education itself. Access to Higher Education has become more widely available: the implications of that change are the concern of this book." Mary Evans "The more it costs, the less it's worth."

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This introductory text sets out to make the links between sociological theories of the body and actual human behaviour and experience. It covers a broad range of topics, from long-standing sociological concerns to more contemporary issues. With a focus on the changeability of the body, it examines the part that bodies play in the social construction of categories such as race, sexuality and disability and explores how we express ourselves through our bodies, whether in eating, dress or pain. It also debates how the body is regulated, both through the life course and in reproduction.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. From its growth in Europe in the nineteenth century, detective fiction has developed into one of the most popular genres of literature and popular culture more widely. In this monograph, Mary Evans examines detective fiction and its complex relationship to the modern and to modernity. She focuses on two key themes: the moral relationship of detection (and the detective) to a particular social world and the attempt to restore and even improve the social world that has been threatened and fractured by a crime, usually that of murder. It is a characteristic of much detective fiction that the detective, the pursuer, is a social outsider: this status creates a complex web of relationships between detective, institutional life and dominant and subversive moralities. Evans questions who and what the detective stands for and suggests that the answer challenges many of our assumptions about the relationship between various moralities in the modern world. Examines detective fiction and its complex relationship to the modern and to modernity. This monograph focuses on two key themes: the moral relationship of detection to a particular social world and the attempt to restore and even improve the social world that has been threatened and fractured by a crime, usually that of murder.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Throughout the twentieth century, many critics of bureaucratisation have predicted the increasing loss of intellectual creativity through the growth of institutional forms of direction and control. This book argues that this is now occurring in universities - and occurring in ways which suggest that the ability (and space) to think freely will become more and more a matter of access to power and privilege. Mary Evans demonstrates how this is both profoundly anti-democratic and anti-intellectual and provides suggestions for reversing this destructive trend. Throughout the 20th century, many critics have predicted the loss of intellectual creativity through the growth of institutional forms of direction and control. This book argues that this is now occuring in universities. The author demonstrates how this is both anti- democratic and intellectual and offers an alternative. This item is printed on demand.
