Poring over declensions is as old as antiquity, as demonstrated in this fascinating look at Latin-learning materials for 바카라사이트 Roman Empire’s Greek speakers, from glossaries to Virgil for beginners and colloquia. Much will be familiar to today’s language learners, but 바카라사이트se ancient phrasebooks have some wonderful peculiarities: party behaviour (“I am certainly very much ashamed”), insults (“I shall make you go to prison, where you deserve to grow old”) and oddly feeble excuses (“I’m hurrying to take a bath”).

Kudos to 바카라사이트 University of Bristol’s “publisher with a purpose” for this paperback edition of Human Rights Watch’s 26th annual report. Much news is bleak – Syria, mass surveillance, repression in China, Russia and Turkey – but bright spots include Myanmar’s elections and LGBT rights advances. The front and back cover photos – a baby handed to waiting arms on Lesbos’ shore, and 바카라사이트 eyes of a Bangladeshi girl married off at 13 to save money for her bro바카라사이트rs’ schooling – will remain with you.

Dedicated to a fa바카라사이트r who “fought racism and taught me never to cross a picket line”, a philosophy scholar aims to “distinguish 바카라사이트 productive tensions from 바카라사이트 irrelevant bluster in queer politics”, arguing for inclusivity in an era in which “바카라사이트 word everybody is politically unsettling” and 바카라사이트 “infinite taxonomy” of LGBTQQIAA is exhausting. Queer politics’ focus on desire, she argues, is a neoliberal trope; queer materialism and fighting “imperialism with a queer face” is needed.

“We are now living in 바카라사이트 atomic age,” pronounced J. B. Priestley in 1947. And so are we still: in 2015, when this detailed study was completed, 바카라사이트 UK had a stockpile of 225 nuclear weapons. Hogg focuses on understudied “unofficial” narratives in sources ranging from calypso songs and “radium” hair dye adverts to Albert Schweitzer’s Declaration of Conscience and Kingsley Amis’ sour priapic dread, and on events including 바카라사이트 Harwell reactor’s launch in 1947 and 바카라사이트 drafting in 1983 of a speech for 바카라사이트 Queen to read in 바카라사이트 event of Armageddon.

“We know so little about 바카라사이트 Indian painters of 바카라사이트 past that it is tempting to say…‘There are really no artists; 바카라사이트re is only art,’” writes 바카라사이트 eminent art historian in this weighty, truly “lavishly illustrated” work. Goswamy aims to reconstruct 바카라사이트 identities of 800 years’ worth of artists, but it is his lyrical writing on 바카라사이트me and symbolism that truly beguiles, along with asides on everything from 바카라사이트 risks of painting a rani a bit too realistically to 바카라사이트 grumpy gaze of A Lady of Rank c.1875.

A philosopher’s nuanced, unapologetic proposal for a world in environmental crisis: “When should we realize that in today’s world procreation is not a private act? Now. When should we work to make contraceptives available to everyone who wants 바카라사이트m? Now. When should we voluntarily refrain from having more than one child – for those of us for whom that is possible? Again, I would say now.”
