Summary

In "History of the Ancient Chaldea," George Rawlinson deftly navigates the intricate tapestry of Chaldean civilization, offering readers a meticulous examination of its cultural, political, and social structures. Through a rich blend of primary sources and scholarly analysis, Rawlinson illuminates the evolution of the Chaldeans from their early roots to their integral role in the larger narrative of Mesopotamian history. His prose is characterized by a scholarly rigor yet is accessible, making complex ideas comprehensible. This work not only provides a comprehensive overview of Chaldea's historical arcs but also situates it within the broader scope of ancient Near Eastern studies, reflecting the prevailing trends in 19th-century archaeology and Assyriology. George Rawlinson, a prominent historian and scholar, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning field of Assyriology during his time. His tenure as a classical scholar and his fascination with ancient cultures laid the groundwork for this seminal work. Rawlinson's extensive knowledge of ancient languages, alongside his role as a translator of key historical texts, granted him unique access to the Chaldean civilization's rich tradition, enabling him to bring their stories to life with authenticity and depth. "History of the Ancient Chaldea" is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of human civilization. It appeals not only to scholars and students of ancient history but also to casual readers eager to explore the vibrant histories that have shaped our world. Rawlinson'Äôs insights offer a profound understanding of a civilization that continues to influence modern culture and thought.

    From the nursery to the prison, from the clinic to the commune, Mother Media tells the story of how we arrived at our contemporary understanding of what a mother is and how understandings of "bad" mothering formed our contemporary panics about "bad" media. In this book, leading historian of psychology Hannah Zeavin examines twentieth-century pediatric, psychological, educational, industrial, and economic norms around mediated mothering and technologized parenting. The book charts the crisis of the family across the twentieth century and the many ingenious attempts to remediate nursemaid and mother via speculative technologies and screen media. 
 
 
 
Growing out of her previous award-winning book The Distance Cure, which considered technologized care, the book lays bare the contradictions of techno-parenting and how it relates to conceptions of "maternal fitness," medical redlining, and surveillance of children, parents, and other caregivers. The author offers narratives of parenting in its extremity (for example, Shaken Baby Syndrome) and its ostensible banality (for example, the Nanny Cam) and how the two are often intertwined. Ultimately, Zeavin grapples with a simple contradiction: technology is seen and judged as harmful in domestic and educational spaces, even as it is a saving grace in the unending labor of raising a family.

    This book examines the ideological affinity that can be established between the classical 'Bildungsroman' and colonialist ideology on the basis of a literary analysis of 'Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre'—considered by most critics to be the origin of the genre—and 'Great Expectations'—one of the paradigmatic examples of the development of the Bildungsroman in English literature. This ideological affinity is understood as an example of what the Palestinian critic Edward Said has called a 'structure of attitude and reference': the convergence of different cultural manifestations that, although formally independent, contribute to a common purpose. The monograph also undertakes a study of the main characteristics of the classical 'Bildungsroman' from a formal and thematic point of view, and an analysis of the relationship between genre theories and Eurocentric discourses.
