Harmondsworth / Middlesex: Penguin Books, 1974. Pelican (A-845): 'The architect and society'. Cover: Front S. Giorgio Maggiore - Venice. Designed by Gerald Cinamon. Photographs: Phyllis Dearborn Massar. Andrea Palladio (1508-80) combined classical restraint with constant inventiveness. In this study, Professor Ackerman sets Palladio in the context of his age - the Humanist era of Michelangelo and Raphael, Titian and Veronese - and examines each of the villas, churches and palaces in turn and tries to penetrate to the heart of the Palladian miracle. Palladio's theoretical writings are important and illuminating, he suggests, yet they never do justice to the intense intuitive skills of a magician of light and colour. Indeed, as the photographs in this book reveal, Palladio was as sensual, as skilled in visual alchemy as any Venetian painter of his time, and his countless imitators have usually captured the details, but not the essence of his style. There are buildings all the way from Philadelphia to Leningrad which bear witness to Palladio's permanent place in the making of architecture, yet he also deserves to be seen on his own terms.

From the rear cover: "Addressing Western and non-Western music, composers from Francesca Caccini to Charles Ives, and musical communities from twelfth-century monks to contemporary opera queens, these essays explore questions of gender and sexuality. MUSICOLOGY AND DIFFERENCE brings together some of the freshest and most challenging voices in musicology today on a question of importance to all the humanistic disciplines." From Ellie M. Hisama in The Journal of Musicology: "MUSICOLOGY AND DIFFERENCE neatly dispels the common misconception that gender studies concerns only the recovery of women's history in music. The fifteen essays that comprise the volume offer a heady mixture of ideas about the relationships among music, gender, and sexuality; the contributors include some of the most thoughtful critical music scholars writing today.".

Mansfield Jr. Introduction by Harvey Mansfield, Jr. 416 pages. paperback. keywords: History Italy Florence Europe. FROM THE PUBLISHER - ‘This translation . of Machiavelli's thoughts on his native city is meant to be less colloquial and closer to the original than the typical translation. This highlights how Machiavelli used words (and thought) differently from us. Machiavelli is too often remembered merely as the realist who took the morality out of `virtue.' As the Histories demonstrate, he was also a gifted writer and historian.'--Virginia Quarterly Review. ‘Banfield and Mansfield's new rendition of the Renaissance humanist's study of Florentine history aims to supply contemporary readers with a literal, exact, and readable version of the original. Machiavelli's concept of history and his purpose in charting the story of Florence and its leading families are thoroughly examined before the translators lead their readers into the substance of the social philosopher's arguments and into a work of literature that once again comes alive.'--Booklist. inventory #36261 ISBN: 9780691008639., 0<
