Cicero, Pro Cluentio: A Selection - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cicero, Pro Cluentio: A Selection - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero''s Pro Cluentio , sections 1–7 and 10–11, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of sections 27–32 and 35–37, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed poems to be read in English for A Level.In 66 BC, Aulus Cluentius Habitus was tried for the attempted murder of Statius Albius Oppianicus the Elder. The prosecutor was Sassia, Cluentius'' own mother. Marcus Tullius Cicero, the famous statesman, orator and lawyer, defended Cluentius in his Pro Cluentio, a persuasive oratorical tour de force. The selections in this edition prove that Cicero was not above using character assassinations in his speeches, first attacking Oppianicus the Elder, then Sassia in a vivid, melodramatic narrative which distracts and diverts the jury from Cluentius'' alleged crimes.Resources are available on the Companion Website.

Becoming Pro-Palestinian - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Becoming Pro-Palestinian - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book brings together testimonials from people of different nationalities and professions who are ''pro-Palestinian'', whether as scholars, film-makers, artists, musicians, activists, or NGO workers. Using what oral historians call the ‘focused life history’, renowned scholar, Rosemary Sayigh, invites her contributors to describe the experiences, events, motives and feelings that led them to support the Palestinian cause.The book is the first of its kind in Palestiniography and includes voices from countries across the world. A chapter is dedicated to each country and contributors are asked to reveal how they ‘discovered’ Palestine - given that Palestine is rarely mentioned in school textbooks or university courses - whether by travel, friendship, study, membership in a political party or book group. They are also asked to detail what specific forms their engagement has taken - ranging scholarly, creative, militant, or charitable - and what their hopes are for the international solidarity movement. Finally, each contributor reflects on if they feel a just and equitable solution can ever be achieved for Palestinians, and if they accept the label ‘pro-Palestinian’ or would rather define their relationship to the Palestinians in some other way.With testimonies from both high profile and grassroots activists, the book is a rich and personal selection that reflects the diversity, dynamism and global nature of the movement for Palestine.

Cicero, pro Caelio: A Selection - Georgina (independent Scholar Longley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cicero, pro Caelio: A Selection - Georgina (independent Scholar Longley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero''s pro Caelio, 51–58, 61–68, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of 33–50, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Pro Caelio is one of Cicero’s finest and funniest speeches. In 56 BC, he defended Marcus Caelius Rufus who was being prosecuted on charges of violence, including the attempted poisoning of Roman noblewoman Clodia with whom Caelius previously had an affair. Cicero’s primary tactic was to blacken the character and reliability of Clodia, whom he depicts as the woman scorned, prosecuting Caelius out of revenge. Drawing on characters well known from Roman comedy, Cicero casts Caelius as the decent young man victimized by the aggressive courtesan, thereby shaming Clodia and glossing over the more awkward charges levelled at his client.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://www.bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2024-2026

This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription for examinations in 2026–28 of Cicero''s pro Roscio Amerino 5 ( forsitan quaeratis… )–29 (… iugulandum vobis tradiderunt ), and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription for examinations in 2027–28 of 29 ( quid primum …)–32 ( iuguletis aut condemnetis ) and 37 ( occidisse patrem … )–57 (… accusare possitis ), giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level.In 81 BC Sextus Roscius, a wealthy landowner, was killed returning from a dinner party in Rome. His son, Sextus Roscius the Younger, was charged the following year with parricide, a sacrilegious crime with a gruesome punishment. In Cicero’s first speech at a criminal trial, he shows how his client did not benefit from the death, uncovers corruption which implicates an individual at the highest level of politics, and argues that the courts are being abused to silence the victims. Pro Sex. Roscio Amerino is a speech not only defending a man’s life, but the very fabric of Roman justice.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2026-2028.

Apologia Pro Vita Sua - John Henry Newman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Apologia Pro Vita Sua - John Henry Newman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Even before the publication of his masterwork, John Henry Newman had been regarded as one of the most important religious thinkers on the 19th Century. His decision in 1845 to leave his Anglicanism behind and convert to the Roman Catholic faith was one that rocked the Victorian establishment at a time when virulent anti-Catholic feeling ran high. It was in response to one particularly vicious attack – by the Reverend Charles Kingsley – that Newman wrote his Apologia Pro Vita Sua . A humane and vivid account of the development of his ideas and his faith and a passionate defence of both, the book remains a landmark work of Victorian literature and autobiography and one that continues to resonate to this day.

Cicero Pro Milone: A Selection - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero''s pro Milone sections 24–32, 34–35 and 43–52, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of sections 53–64 (to defendere ) and 72–80, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed text to be read in English for A Level.The death of Publius Clodius and the prosecution of Milo for his murder came at a critical point in the history of the late Republic, with Civil War and the collapse of the Republic only three years away. In his passionate defence of Milo, Cicero pleads for the rule of law as a vital counterweight to the anarchy that the gangs of Clodius, and Milo, had created. The published speech was regarded as a masterpiece of oratory in its own time, and is still held to be one of his finest compositions and a model for the presentation of such a defence.

Who Fights for Governments? - Huseyn Aliyev - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Who Fights for Governments? - Huseyn Aliyev - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Exploring why, when and under which circumstances individuals decide to take up arms mobilizing for pro-government militias, Huseyn Aliyev draws on insights from long-standing ethnographic fieldwork among former and active members of Ukraine’s pro-government volunteer battalions, and an original database of militias’ obituaries, to offer this complex and in-depth explanation of the phenomenon of pro-government mobilization. Revealing the patterns and dynamics of individual mobilization into pro-government militias, this study is critical to understanding how the Ukrainian nation succeeded in repelling Russian aggression both in 2014-15 and in 2022, but also essential to explaining how and why hundreds of pro-government militias emerge in the context of armed conflicts in different parts of the world.

Abortion Trail Activism - Deirdre Duffy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Abortion Trail Activism - Deirdre Duffy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Abortion trail activists are national and transnational organizations and movements that enable access to safe abortion – this open access book adopts a global perspective to explore their historic contribution to reproductive justice, their innovative work, and the continuing and emergent problems they face. Deirdre Duffy offers the first dedicated analysis of both the historic and on-going relationship between groups supporting access to abortion and abortion politics, drawing on theoretical perspectives and debates including post-colonialism, feminist anarchism and health activism. Challenging assumptions about the achievements of pro-choice politics, Duffy examines the race-based exclusions within and created by dominant historic pro-choice narratives, critiquing the prochoice movements’ whiteness, and the limitations of a focus on legal change.

Memory Politics and the Russian Civil War - Dr Margarita Karnysheva - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Memory Politics and the Russian Civil War - Dr Margarita Karnysheva - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In examining the re-emergence of Russia's White Movement, Memory Politics and the Russian Civil War gets to the heart of the rich 20th-century memory debates going on in Putin’s Russia today. The Kremlin has been giving preference to a Soviet-lite nostalgia that denounces the 1917 Bolshevik revolution but celebrates the birth of a powerful Soviet Union able to bring the country to the forefront of the international scene after the victory in World War II. Yet in parallel, another historical narrative has gradually consolidated on the Russian public scene, one that favours the opposite camp, namely the White movement and the pro-tsarist groups defeated in the early 1920s. This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of this ‘White Revenge’, looking at the different actors who promote a White and pro-Romanov rehabilitation agenda in the political, ideological and cultural arenas and what this historical agenda might mean for Russia, both today and tomorrow.

The Radical War of 1820 - David Smale - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Radical War of 1820 - David Smale - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book is a detailed account of the Radical War in 1820s Scotland, highlighting the conditions that led to the revolt, the reaction of the government, and the impact on Scottish society. David Smale takes readers through the post-1815 mass unemployment, disaffection, and formation of radical groups calling for parliamentary reform, as a prelude to the Radical War. Using a wealth of archival material, this book readjusts existing narratives surrounding the conflict, shifting the focus away from the accounts of paid spies, and centering the little used records of the pioneering ‘new police’ force. Smale examines how police activities impacted the revolt, from the contrasting aims of pro-reformer and pro-government publications released during the time, to the activities of five ‘spy groups’ who entered the radical milieu and provided authorities with intelligence on their activities. Concluding with the key events of the revolt, including the Battle of Bonnymuir, and exploring the its after effects, such as the Lord Advocate’s conflict with police – this volume provides comprehensive analysis of the Radical War, and places it within a pan-British context.

Latin Political Propaganda in the War of the Spanish Succession and Its Aftermath, 1700-1740 - Dr Alejandro Coroleu - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Latin Political Propaganda in the War of the Spanish Succession and Its Aftermath, 1700-1740 - Dr Alejandro Coroleu - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Latin Political Propaganda offers the first comprehensive study of the central role played by the Latin language to celebrate or undermine political power during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1715). Waged as much on the printed page as on the battlefield, this worldwide conflict gave rise to an astonishing variety of Latin writing across the Continent - in verse or in prose - on both the pro-Habsburg and pro-Bourbon sides. Ranging from official documents, epic, satirical and panegyric poetry to defamatory pamphlets, letters, historiographical and juridical tracts, medals and ephemeral architecture, this vast textual corpus has gone almost unnoticed. Alejandro Coroleu provides close examination of the literary devices of these texts and shows how imitation of models and figures from classical antiquity was at the heart of the authors’ highly refined verse and prose technique. He also pays attention to the historical and social context in which the texts emerged, and connects the Latin political writing produced at the time with more popular forms of propagandistic discourse (literary or visual) which found its expression in the vernacular. This book also reveals how the learned language continued to function - even after the hostilities had come to an end in July 1715 - as an instrument of political discourse and propaganda on both sides of the dynastic feud up until the death of Emperor Charles VI in October 1740.

Economic Diversification in Nigeria - Zainab Usman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Economic Diversification in Nigeria - Zainab Usman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Nigeria has for long been regarded as the poster child for the ‘curse’ of oil wealth. Yet despite this, Nigeria achieved strong economic growth for over a decade in the 21st century, driven largely by policy reforms in non-oil sectors. This open access book argues that Nigeria’s major development challenge is not the ‘oil curse’, but rather one of achieving economic diversification beyond oil, subsistence agriculture, informal activities, and across its subnational entities. Through analysis drawing on economic data, policy documents, and interviews, Usman argues that Nigeria’s challenge of economic diversification is situated within the political setting of an unstable distribution of power among individual, group, and institutional actors. Since the turn of the century, policymaking by successive Nigerian governments has, despite superficial partisan differences, been oriented towards short-term crisis management of macroeconomic stabilization, restoring growth and selective public sector reforms. To diversify Nigeria’s economy, this book argues that successive governments must reorient towards a consistent focus on pro-productivity and pro-poor policies, alongside comprehensive civil service and security sector overhaul. These policy priorities, Nigeria’s ruling elites are belatedly acknowledging, are crucial to achieving economic transformation; a policy shift that requires a confrontation with the roots of perpetual political crisis, and an attempt to stabilize the balance of power towards equity and inclusion. The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Between the Seas - Deborah Paci - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In Between the Seas, Deborah Paci takes a comparative view of islandness in island identities through case studies of islands in the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas. These case studies primarily include, in the Baltic case, the Åland Islands, Gotland, Saaremaa, Hiiumaa and Ruhnu; and in the Mediterranean case, Sicily, Malta, Sardinia and Corsica. Examining multiple sites of these islands’ identities such as history, environmental concerns and governance systems, this book provides a historical perspective into the relations between islands and the larger geopolitical regions around them, as well as historicizing ‘insularist’ rhetoric deployed by pro-independence groups within them. Paci examines the changing role and increasing political importance of islands in the European Union against the history of island insularity and offers a significant contribution to the wider field of island studies.

Confidence in Life - Matthew Lee Anderson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Confidence in Life - Matthew Lee Anderson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Confidence in Life offers a theologically-robust evaluation of the good of procreation, which emerges out of both careful interactions with contemporary analytic philosophy and a reconstructed reading of Karl Barth’s doctrine of (pro)creation. While analytic moral philosophy has rarely been brought into close proximity to Barth’s work, the conjunction underscores the deep difficulty of accounting for procreation’s value within non-theological frameworks, and helps clarify what is distinctive and valuable about Barth’s own moral reasoning on this subject. Though primarily staged as an intervention in Protestant moral theology, Confidence in Life’s rehabilitation of the Virgin Mary’s role in Barth’s thought has promise for an ecumenical retrieval of the good of procreating within the economy of redemption—and its retrieval of honour as an indispensable aspect of Barth’s theology will be of interest to Barth scholars and moral theologians alike.
