In the surviving books of his Histories the barrister-historian Tacitus, writing some thirty years after the events he describes, gives a detailed account of the ‘long but single year’ when four emperors emerged in succession: Galba, the martinet Otho, conspirator and dandy Vitellius, the unambitious hedonist and the ultimate victor, Vespasian, who established the Flavian dynasty. With great vividness and emotional power, Tacitus’ gripping narrative lays bare corruption, injustice and folly, and sheds lasting light on the nature of power.[This revised version sensitively updates Kenneth Wellesley’s original translation to render it more accessible to the modern reader. This edition contains a new introduction by Rhiannon Ash discussing Tacitus’ life and his contemporary audience, a note on the text, suggested further reading, a glossary of places and peoples, maps, expanded notes and a chronology.] Books VI-X of Livy\'s monumental work trace Rome\'s fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome\'s greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city. A milestone in the study of culture from the father of structural anthropologyThis watershed work records Claude Lévi-Strauss\'s search for a human society reduced to its most basic expression. From the Amazon basin through the dense upland jungles of Brazil, Lévi-Strauss found the societies he was seeking among the Caduveo, Bororo, Nambikwara, and Tupi-Kawahib. More than merely recounting his time in their midst, Tristes Tropiques places the cultural practices of these peoples in a global context and extrapolates a fascinating theory of culture that has given the book an importance far beyond the fields of anthropology and continental philosophy. The author\'s fresh approach, sense of humor, and openness to the sensuous mystique of the tropics make the scientific thrust of the book eminently accessible.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

In the aftermath of its near-demise by fascism and Stalinism, the resurgence of historical sociology has been an important development in contemporary sociology and history. This book traces the growth of interest in social history in the West in a survey that combines critique of key works with a framework of interpretation for this field.
