In the decade since the First Edition of this critical and provocative text, many aspects of gender have changed, and many have stayed the same.

This new edition is a long-awaited update to an essential text in this dynamic and expanding field of inquiry, incorporating new, international perspectives that incorporate recent theory and debate, and a new chapter on gender and identity.

Art and Eloquence in Byzantium

 

Art and Eloquence in Byzantium
Princeton Univ Pr | Pages: 222 | 1994 | ISBN-10: 0691036934 | 112 MB

In this interdisciplinary study, Henry Maguire examines the impact of several literary genres and rhetorical techniques on the visual arts of Byzantium. In particular, he shows that the literary embellishments of the sermons and hymns of the church nourished the imaginations of artists, and fundamentally affected the iconography, style, and arrangement of their work. Using provocative material previously unfamiliar to art historians, he concentrates on religious art from a.d. 843 to 1453.

The Complete Idiots Guide to eBay

Alpha (9-2007) | PDF | 416 pages | 1592576761 | 6.0Mb

The Complete Idiot's Guide to eBay /by Lissa McGrath and Skip McGrath. The word idiot comes from the Greek idiotes, which means “layman” or “person lacking skill or knowledge in a particular area.” Simply put, idiot used to mean beginner. Since this is a beginner’s guide, I think that is quite appropriate.
In my opinion, eBay is the greatest marketplace in the world. 

Where else can you find the girl next door competing with big corporations and succeeding? Or find rare antiquities for sale right next to the latest video game? Or do all of your holiday shopping from the comfort of your own home, avoiding the crowds, getting better prices, and having far more fun doing it? When eBay started, everyone scoffed at the basic premise that you could create an online platform where complete strangers would buy from and sell to each other based on nothing but trust. Before eBay, could you imagine reading a classified ad for something expensive, mailing your money to someone in a distant city (or country), and waiting  or the item to arrive in the exact condition it was described?
