Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Bound handsomely in gray linen cloth over boards, sharp and distinct gilt lettering to spine. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, llight edgewear only. From the publisher's blurb, " Taking a sympathetic view of the Second Athenian League, Sealey focuses on the career of Demosthenes to provide important insights into Athenian politics and policies. Demosthenes experienced repeated setbacks in his early attempts at public activity, but found his mission as a statesman in the conflict with Macedon and subsequently became the leading man in Athens.Sealey rejects theories that assume programmatic divisions among Athenian statesmen into pro- and anti-Macedonians, and argues that all Athenians active in politics resented Macedonian ascendancy butrecognized the necessity of accommodation to superior power. His account concludes with the defeat of Athens and its allies and the suicide of Demosthenes, presenting new insights not only into the life of Demosthenes and the turbulent years of his political career, but also the social and international factors bearing on Athenian political activity in general. A study of the political history of Greece, especially Athens, from 386 to 322 BC. Although Demosthenes figures largely, the book is not purely biographical, and a good deal of attention is paid to social and international factors bearing on Athenian political activity during this period." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. x [3], 3-340 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Descripción de la tienda

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana.
