Bound in quarter beige cloth with beige paper boards and mint green foil text on the spine. Explores the evolution of Western attitudes towards sexual experience through changes that took place from the Greco-Roman period to the Middle Ages.Editorial Reviews From Library JournalIn this absorbing study, Foucault discusses the attitudes toward sexuality prevalent in Hellenistic Greece and Rome. Classical Greece's view of sex as a means of obtaining individual pleasure faced increasing challenge in Hellenistic times. The love of boys now assumed more muted tones, often finding itself at odds with the highly valued ideals of marital fidelity and virginity. The Stoic approach, as Foucault demonstrates in a nuanced discussion, both resembled and differed from the asceticism of Christianity. vii 279pp. Green and pictorial dustjacket.<br><br>CONDITION: Covers have… Leer más

California: University of California Press, 1979. paperback. Near Fine. 5x0x8. PAPERBACK. Bright red cover with brown and ivory text. In this new and brilliantly organized book of essays, Anthony Giddens discusses three main theoretical traditions in social science that cut across the division between Marxist and non-Marxist sociology: interpretive sociology, functionalism, and structuralism. Beginning with a critical examination of the importance of structuralism for contemporary sociology, the author develops a comprehensive account of what he calls "the theory of structuration." One of the main themes is that social theory must recognize, as it has not done hitherto, that all social actors are knowledgeable about the social systems they produce and reproduce in their conduct. In order to grasp the significance of this, he argues, we have to reconsider some of the most basic concepts in sociology. In particular, Giddens argues, it is essential to recognize the significance of time-space… Leer más

New York : Barnes and Noble, Inc, 1967. Revised Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Revised Edition. Hardcover. Bound in red cloth. Gilt text on the spine. Williams's fascinating investigation into forms of communication as they stood in 1962 - computers, radio, television, printing, photography, film - remains remarkably relevant today. The idea that reality is primary, and that communication of that reality secondary, is debunked - if we take the view that there is life, and then afterwards accounts of it, we degrade art and learning. Communications are, he argues, a major way in which reality is continually formed and changed. This is Williams's compelling introduction to modern means and institutions of communication. For the present edition, the author has revised the book throughout, brought the statistical material up to date, and added two appendices: on Educational Television and on White Paper 'A Policy for the Arts'. 196pp. Red, white and black… Leer más
