Book Description
In 2000 a major archaeological rescue project took place at Zeugma in order to learn as much as possible about this ancient city before it was flooded by the Birecik Dam. Many of the discoveries, particularly the outstanding mosaics, have stunned the archaeological world and caught the imagination of the general public. This volume publishes the interim reports from this season of excavation, presenting us with a glimpse of some of the discoveries, including Hellenistic and Roman upper-class houses, shops, bathhouses and military structures. Particular attention is paid here to the life-size bronze statue of Mars (complete with silver and gold eyes), inscriptions of Antiochus I of Commagene, the Roman military presence and, of course, the marvellous wall-paintings and mosaics which are presented in colour photographs. Five reports are presented here, one of which is in French. This study provides us with a tantalising glimpse of what is to come.

Book Description
Dr Sagona has conducted many seasons of excavation and survey work in eastern Turkey. This extravagantly illustrated book traces the history of the region from the beginning of settled life (c.11,000-5,500 BC) to the spread of Islam and the resplendent Ottoman period that followed. Among its fascinating subjects are details of the obsidian trade, the emergence of agriculture and stock-breeding; the development of metallurgy; the rise of a merchant class; the constantly changing political boundaries under the Urartians, Hittites and Persians; the Roman and Christian periods; and the Arab Conquest followed by the invasion of the Seljuks and their wonderful arts. The text is supported by the rare and beautiful photography of the sites and monuments, and of artefacts produced by the many different peoples who have inhabited this fascinating region.

Book Description
Metaphor familiarizes things strange with things familiar to enrich old things with things newly made familiar. Thus metaphor is an effective intercultural highway without shared thinking-way, for each culture is a specific thinking-way. This volume shows such intercultural communication.

Book Description
"This is an important book which should become the standard reference work on Hellenistic colonies in Greece and Asia Minor."—Richard A. Billows, Columbia University "Professor Cohen provides us with a comprehensive survey of over a half-century of archaeological activity, and an indispensable reference tool for those interested in Hellenistic political history and the urban history of antiquity. The scholarship is superior in every respect."—Stanley Burstein, California State University, Los Angeles

Book Description
This volume of the Cambridge History of the English Language covers the period 1476-1776, beginning at the time of the establishment of Caxton's first press in England and concluding with the American Declaration of Independence, the notional birth of the first (non-insular) extraterritorial English. It encompasses three centuries which saw immense cultural change over the whole of Europe: the late middle ages, the renaissance, the reformation, the enlightenment, and the beginnings of romanticism. During this time, Middle English became Early Modern English and then developed into the early stages of indisputably 'modern', if somewhat old-fashioned, English. In this book, the distinguished team of six contributors traces these developments, covering orthography and punctuation, phonology and morphology, syntax, lexis and semantics, regional and social variation, and the literary language. The volume also contains a glossary of linguistic terms and an extensive bibliography.
