Book Description
Warriors and Peasants depicts the lives of the Don Cossacks in late Imperial Russia. The dual identity of the Cossacks, that of the steppe and of the settled Slavic areas, is emphasized as the key to their unique culture. The book explores how that identity manifested and preserved itself by focusing on the Cossack tradition, their economy, their families and their communities. Far from being moribund and close to collapse, the book concludes that the Cossack tradition remained among the most vibrant in the Empire.

Book Description
In Peasants, Warriors, and Wives, Keith Moxey examines woodcut images from the German Reformation that have often been ignored as a crude and inferior form of artistic production. In this richly illustrated study, Moxey argues that while they may not satisfy received notions of "art," they nevertheless constitute an important dimension of the visual culture of the period. Far from being manifestations of universal public opinion, as a cursory acquaintance with their subject matter might suggest, such prints were the means by which the reformed attitudes of the middle and upper classes were disseminated to a broad popular audience.

Book Description
This pioneering collection of 15 essays argues that Japan's medieval age began in the 14th century rather than the 12th, and marks the beginning of a fundamentally new debate about how Japan's lengthy classical period finally ended.

Book Description
Being a teenager is tough. Especially when you have to live in the jungle and carry an assault rifle.Eighteen-year-old Gabriel and his twin sister, Samantha, join the revolution after death squads murder their parents and ransack their small village. A new totalitarian regime has taken control of the country, and as the army moves through the countryside – leaving destruction in its wake – it becomes clear to Gabriel that no matter which side you're on, nobody wins. The rebels face daily hardship and live under constant fear of counter-insurgency patrols, and Gabriel learns the hard way that the most dangerous threats can sometimes come from within. But adversity forges character, and Gabriel finds a mentor in the form of Sergeant Yos, his immediate superior and former soldier who left the army under mysterious circumstances.Armed with nothing but cold war relics and bravado, Gabriel and Samantha lead the rebels' efforts to take back their land, as long as their luck holds and they don't run out of ammo. Hell-bent on stopping them – and squashing them under his booth – is an army major with few scruples and zero qualms about destroying the young insurgent group, whatever the cost. Can Gabriel and the rebels hold out long enough to make a stand against an implacable foe, or will they be crushed under the weight of the largest military in Central America?Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Cuchumatan Mountains and the lush, green countryside of the Guatemalan highlands, Insurrection is a glimpse into the lives and emotions of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, in the name of love and country.
