  • The Civilization of War Edited by Alessandro Dal Lago and Salvatore Palidda Conflict, Security and the Reshaping of Society the Civilization of War
    Conflict, Security and the Reshaping of Society This book is an examination of the effect of contemporary wars (such as the ‘War on Terror’) on civil life at a global level. Contemporary literature on war is mainly devoted to recent changes in the theory and practice of warfare, particularly those in which terrorists or insurgents are involved (for example, the ‘revolution in military affairs’, ‘small wars’, and so on). On the other hand, today’s research on security is focused, among other themes, on the effects of the war on terrorism, and on civil liberties and social control. This volume connects these two fields of research, showing how ‘war’ and ‘security’ tend to exchange targets and forms of action as well as personnel (for instance, the spreading use of private contractors in wars and of military experts in the ‘struggle for security’) in modern society. This shows how, contrary to Clausewitz’s belief that war should be conceived of as a ‘continuation of politics by other means’, the opposite statement is also true: that politics, insofar as it concerns security, can be defined as the ‘continuation of war by other means’. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, war and conflict studies, terrorism studies, sociology and international relations in general. Alessandro Dal Lago is Professor of Sociology of Culture and Communica- tion at the University of Genoa. Salvatore Palidda is Professor of Sociology in the Faculty of Education at the University of Genoa. Routledge studies in liberty and security Series editors: Didier Bigo, Elspeth Guild and R.B.J.

Dissertation Adviser: Jon D.

Though many scholars have claimed that honor and shame are pivotal values for biblical Israel and that covenant is fundamental to her conception of the divine-human relationship, no work attempting to explore the juncture of these two important social phenomena has appeared.

Biographical Note Leonard Stansfield Sutcliffe was a successful horse photographer based out of Lexington, Kentucky in the early part of the 20th century. He was born in Birkenhead, England on April 15, 1880, and was educated in Yorkshire. Sutcliffe came to North America in 1907, serving as a lieutenant in the Governor General’s Footguards of Canada. Driven south by the Canadian climate, he settled first in the Carolinas, but then relocated to Lexington, Kentucky. Beginning only as an amateur photographer, Sutcliffe quickly demonstrated a natural skill at capturing the most flattering images of horses; by the early 1920s he was recognized as one of the most talented turf photographers of his day. The noted English racing photographer F. H. Rouch visited Lexington in 1922 and remarked that his presence there to photograph famous horses was unnecessary, as Sutcliffe was already there. During his career Sutcliffe created several landmark works which still stand today as milestones in the horse photography world. Around 1929 he produced a series of five albums chronicling American thoroughbred sires and mares, still considered to be masterpieces. His photographs were used in several publications like studbooks and The Thoroughbred Record. Sutcliffe’s most famous contributions to the field were his celebrated photographs of Man o’War, thought by many to be the best pictures ever taken of the famed winner.
