Cloth with dustjacket. Condición: Gut. XI, 265 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag ein wenig berieben, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar / dust jacket a little rubbed otherwise a very good copy. - What causes revolution? Why do some revolutions succeed and others fail? These questions lie at the heart of investigations of social change, and they provide the thematic focus of this book. Absolutism and Its Discontents examines two contemporaneous revolutions in seventeenth century Europe, one successful (the English Revolution, 1640-60) and one unsuccessful (the Fronde in France, 1648-53). Kimmel argues that the key causes in the outbreak of revolution are large-scale structural transformations in the relationships among economy, state, and the international system. It turns out that the crucial factors in a revolution's success or failure have more to do with actions of the state rather than class conflict or religious or ideological shifts. Specifically, in these two cases, persistent and unresolved fiscal crises led regimes to undermine or curtail the economic or political autonomy previously enjoyed by particular social groups. These state initiatives set social groups in opposition to the state, and they eventually joined together in a revolutionary coalition to challenge for state power. In a sense, argues Kimmel, states create their own oppositions, and the success or failure of a revolution depends upon the mix of resources that each group brings to a coalition of opponents. The book is rich in historical detail, especially as it examines the policies that estrange social groups from a regime. For both France and England, the book looks at responses by various lev- els of nobility, clergy, commercial groups, and working groups as well as provincial and regionally-based institutions, all of whom saw their autonomy threatened. Written in an accessible style. Absolutism and Its Discontents should attract the attention of sociologists and political scientists interested in large scale social change, as well as social historians./ CONTENTS Preface 1.

Condición: Gut. XVII, 130 p., plates, maps. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Dust jacket somewhat rubbed and bleached, otherwise very good. / Schutzumschlag etwas berieben/verblichen, sonst sehr gut. - Diodorus Siculus lived in the first century B.C., but even then the world was old. Civilizations had come and gone, and those of Asia stretched back to eras so remote that they were far more ancient to Diodorus than he is to us. The Antiquities of Asia is the translator's title for Book II of Diodorus' Library of History. Written for the literate Greeks of his day, it covers the period from the rise of the Assyrian empire in Mesopotamia until the collapse of Median hegemony about 550 B.C. It also includes what was then known of the histories of Arabia, India, and Scythia, as well as legends concerning the Amazons, the Hyperboreans, and the mysterious Islands of the Sun in the remote Indian Ocean. In the Library of History, Diodorus intended to collect all the historical knowledge of the world in one forty-volume encyclopedia. This second volume represents the culmination of attempts by Greeks to reconstruct the ancient history of Asia before the Trojan War. Diodorus drew extensively on earlier Greek historians such as Ctesias, Megasthenes, Herodotus, and the writers who accompanied Alexander the Great in his conquest of the East. Although many of their works are lost, we know that these authors had access to the last remnants of non-Greek historical traditions in Assyria, Babylon, and Persia, and that they traveled widely in exotic lands such as India and Scythia. Diodorus' synthesis of their efforts preserves an invaluable insight into all that educated Greeks of his day could hope to learn about the bygone civilizations of Asia. The Antiquities of Asia fills a void in the accessibility of ancient historical texts to the general reading public. This new translation is accurate and easy to read, and the notes and appendices amplify and elucidate the text for the nonspecialist, setting the narrative in historical and geographical context. Plates, illustrations, and a detailed map add graphic support. - Edwin Murphy is an independent scholar specializing in ancient and medieval history.
