Yale University Press, 1990. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Clean unmarked pages, firmly bound, slight wear to cover edges. 'Art', declared Vasari in Lives of the Artists, has been reborn and reached perfection in our time'. Indeed the roster of great names in painting of the Cinquecento, which only begins with those of Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael, appears to justify this grand claim. Professor Freedberg here discusses the individual painters and analyses the hallmarks of their work. He traces the classical style of the High Renaissance, the Mannerism that succeeded it, and the events, in North Italy especially, that resist stylistic categories. He has given order to this diversity, but at the same time has preserved the intense individuality of the works of art.B&W photos. 768 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Academic, 2012. Hardcover. Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight wear to jacket. The Development of Persistent Criminality addresses one of the most pressing problems of modern criminology: Why do some individuals become chronic, persistent offenders? Because chronic offenders are responsible for the majority of serious crimes committed, understanding which individuals will become chronic offenders is an important step in helping us develop interventions. This volume bridges the gap between the criminological literature, which has recently focused on the existence of various criminal trajectories, and the developmental psychology literature, which has focused on risk factors for conduct problems and delinquency. In it, chapters by some of the most widely published authors in this area unite to contribute to a knowledge base which will be the next major milestone in the field of criminology. The authors of this volume represent a unique gathering of international,… Read More

Military History Publishing , 2011. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. Inscribed by Author. SIGNED by the author and inscribed "To Terry, fire one for smoke!" Clean unmarked pages, slight wear to jacket edges. An excellent and fascinating read from a man who started the war as an ordinary GI Joe, and then, through fate, found himself behind the lines in France, mixing in the exalted company of the Resistance and the OSS. He then went on to fight with his infantry unit on the German border in the terrible winter of 1944/5, where, under constant fire, he became bitterly disillusioned with the US Army, and its lack of support for the ordinary soldier. For his exploits, he was heavily decorated by the French, earning the Croix de Guerre and the Legion d'honneur, among numerous other awards.He later went on to become a distinguished academic, and today is a lecturer on War Studies, uniquely amongst his academic peers, able to draw on his first-hand experience in WW2.Why is this… Read More
