Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. Very minor shelfwear. Gift inscription from author to half-title. ; What did sex mean to the ancient Romans? In this lavishly illustrated study, John R. Clarke investigates a rich assortment of Roman erotic art to answer this questionand along the way, he reveals a society quite different from our own. Clarke reevaluates our understanding of Roman art and society in a study informed by recent gender and cultural studies, and focusing for the first time on attitudes toward the erotic among both the Roman non-elite and women. This splendid volume is the first study of erotic art and sexuality to set these worksmany newly discovered and previously unpublishedin their ancient context and the first to define the differences between modern and ancient concepts of sexuality using clear visual evidence. Roman artists pictured a great range of human sexual activitiesfar beyond those mentioned in classical literatureincluding sex between men and women, men and men, women and women, men and boys, threesomes, foursomes, and more. Roman citizens paid artists to decorate expensive objects, such as silver and cameo glass, with scenes of lovemaking. Erotic works were created for and sold to a broad range of consumers, from the elite to the very poor, during a period spanning the first century B. C. Through the mid-third century of our era. This erotic art was not hidden away, but was displayed proudly in homes as signs of wealth and luxury. In public spaces, artists often depicted outrageous sexual acrobatics to make people laugh. Looking at Lovemaking depicts a sophisticated, pre-Christian society that placed a high value on sexual pleasure and the art that represented it. Clarke shows how this culture evolved within religious, social, and legal frameworks that were vastly different from our own and contributes an original and controversial chapter to the history of human sexuality. ; 406 pages; Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, subsequent impression with number line '5 7 9 10 8 6'. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR ON HALF TITLE PAGE 'To Pete Best wishes Jeff Winter'. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£19.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 312pp, illustrated. Ever wondered what it is like to step out on to a pitch with 50,000 fans screaming abuse at you while you try and make an informed decision? Or what really gets said between players or managers in the tunnel or the white heat of the game? Or exactly the best way to control 22 angry young men when all hell breaks loose? Well here's the book that will finally tell you the truth of what it is like out there as no other has before. Over the course of the Premiership, Jeff Winter became one of our most high profile and popular referees. Not a stickler, but someone who always tried, as a fan himself, to adapt to the needs of moment. Since breaking all ties with the FA, he is now utterly free to break the omerta that retired referees keep and speak about his experiences with true candidness. This is an insider look at the history and star studded personnel of the Premiership by someone who was there as it happened. He talks openly about his dealings with many of the most controversial and volatile players, including Wayne Rooney, Craig Bellamy, Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira, and his experience of the management elite, including Wenger, Strachan, Keegan and Ferguson. Jeff Winter was never one to shy away from necessary confrontation, particularly, as you'll see, with Sir Alex whom he once sensationally 'sent off' at Newcastle. And Jeff's own tale is like no other. Before he fell into refereeing, he was someone who once represented everything that is frowned upon in football, a skinhead terrace hard case. His tough upbringing made him an unlikely character to reach the top as a referee, and he will tell of his early years as a boot boy fan and his volatile relationship with his heavy drinking father, his chance decision to take up refereeing, his progress through the tough local leagues where he had to deal with aggression from players and intimidation from spectators, his appointment as a Football League referee and the pressures and problems that being a high profile referee have brought on his family. He will also reveal underhand dealings and tell of the lack of leadership given by the authorities to referees. The most honest account of refereeing and the game there has ever been. Scarce signed.
