Sinossi

Minoan Society explores the fascinating world of the Minoans, a Bronze Age civilization that thrived on ancient Crete. This book delves into their daily life, economic systems, and spiritual beliefs, offering a comprehensive look at their unique culture.

 
The Minoans developed a sophisticated palatial economy, where palaces served as centers for storage, redistribution, and craft production, showcasing a complex societal structure.

 
Intriguingly, their religious practices centered on female deities, setting them apart from other Bronze Age cultures.

 
The book challenges previous interpretations, arguing that the Minoans were not merely a precursor to the Mycenaeans but a distinct civilization with a vibrant artistic tradition.

 
Examining archaeological finds from sites like Knossos and Akrotiri, alongside Linear A texts, it provides an updated perspective on Minoan life.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the geographical and chronological context, then exploring the economic foundations, delving into religious practices, and finally considering factors leading to their decline.

 
This approach connects Minoan society to broader themes of art history, religious studies, and economics.

Authoritarianism - A Very Short...

James Loxton

Authoritarianism is one of the buzzwords of our age. But what is it exactly? This Very Short Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the world of authoritarian regimes, including military, single-party, and personalist regimes. It considers how understandings of authoritarianism have evolved over time, as well as the curious fact that many authoritarian regimes today hold elections. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, James Loxton examines the life cycle of authoritarian regimes. How are they born? What challenges do they face during life? Why do they die? The author shows how factors such as natural resource wealth and cross-border collaboration can contribute to authoritarian durability. He also highlights the disturbing fact that even when authoritarian regimes collapse, voters often use their newfound democratic rights to send former authoritarian officials back to office.

Victorian People - A...

Asa Briggs

This text looks at the people, ideas and events between the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Second Reform Act of 1867. From "John Arthur Roebuck and the Crimean War", and "Samuel Smiles and the Gospel of Work" to "Thomas Hughes and the Public Schools" and "Benjanmin Disraeli and the Leap in the Dark", Asa Briggs provides an assessment of Victorian achievements; and in doing so conjures up an enviable picture of the progress and independence of the last century. "For expounding this theme, this interaction of event and personality, Mr. Briggs is abundantly and happily endowed. He is always readable, often amusing, never facetious. He is widely read and widely interested. He has a sound historic judgment, and an unfailing sense for what is significant in the historic sequence and what is merely topical. . . . Above all, he is in sympathy with the age of which he is writing."—Times Literary Supplement
