About this title

Synopsis

Sather Classical Lecture

From the Inside Flap

"[Kirk] carries out his task intelligently and sensitively and the result is probably the best general account of this diffuse and difficult field. . ."--Jack Goody, Antiquity ". . .the range and the humanity of this book are already so impressive that it seems monstrous to ask for more."--Frank Kermode, The Listener "Il libro del Kirk e di grande importanza."--Arnaldo Momigliano, Rivista Storica Italiana "The modestly expressed findings contrast sharply with some of the confident claims the author examines. Scholarship and the proper use of evidence stand out on every page, and there is a refreshing absence of the jargon which too often clutters this kind of work."--A.C.F. Verity, Greece and Rome "I found this book extremely rich and rewarding ot read. One cannot do justice here to the breadth of its scope, or to the coolness of its critical approach. By his open-minded and undogmatic analysis the author has brought new life to come very old problems. This is an achievement for which one is immensely grateful."--N.J. Richardson, Oxford Magazine

Store Description

We have been selling academic and scholarly books in Cambridge since 1996. Today we occupy an old warehouse on Coldhams Road, adjacent to the railway tracks leading to Ely, not too far from the airport. The site is called Restwell House. We are an internet bookshop, but visitors are very welcome. Some drop off a few boxes of unwanted books, some pick up a book to save on the postage, some just drop by to get to know us, or want to take advantage of the many bargains on our wooden shelves bookshop, which is distinct from the internet stock offered on the web. Our mission has always been to find new homes for the books we are looking after. If we cannot sell them online, we offer them at very low prices to our visitors. We try to give you a serious and dedicated service which is focussed on the individuality of each single book: its condition, its origin, sometimes even its smell. You come to us for real books, not just instances of ISBNs.
