Creationism in Twentieth-Century America

Creationism in Twentieth-Century America

Despite the undeniable importance of anti-evolutionism in American cultural history and the plethora of publications since the 1980s few libraries have collected more than the occasional book or pamphlet on creationism and early creationist periodicals are almost impossible to find. This collection makes available works on creationism by such stalwarts as Arthur I. Brown William Bell Riley Harry Rimmer Byron C. Nelson George McCready Price Harold W. Clark and Frank Lewis Marsh. It also reprints three of the earliest and rarest creationist journals in America: the Creationist the Bulletin of Deluge Geology and the Forum for the Correlation of Science and the Bible. The collection as a whole plays an important part in the continuing debate in America over science and religion. There is a new preface to all volumes by the series editor Ronald L. Numbers. | Creationism in Twentieth-Century America

Women in the Classical World CC 4V

Women in the Classical World CC 4V

The study of women in Graeco-Roman antiquity has a long history but many recent developments—prominent among which are the rise of feminist theory and theoretical and interpretive work in material culture—have transformed approaches to the study of women’s lived experiences in antiquity. This four-volume collection brings together the best scholarship that has both established the field and moved it forward. The articles collected here are interdisciplinary bringing into conversation the full range of evidence for women in the classical world: historical literary legal medical inscriptional mythic artistic (e. g. sculpture frescoes paintings terracottas) and the material found in archaeological excavations including evidence from burials finds from houses and the remains of food processing and textile production. Ideology is relevant to each volume as both Greek and Roman societies had highly developed ideologies and cultural ideals that exercised profound and pervasive influence over women’s lives. Social class is implicated in these ideologies in ways that are made evident in every genre of source material. Women in the Classical World edited by two of the leading scholars in the field presents in one reference source a complete picture of women in Ancient Greece and Rome based on a vast of array of sources. This material has not been collected together in one place before. | Women in the Classical World CC 4V
