Free Download Barbarians and Jews: Jews and Judaism in the Early Medieval West By Yitzhak Hen; Thomas F.X. Noble 2018 | 341 Pages | ISBN: 2503581013 | PDF | 4 MB The essays in this volume attempt to re-evaluate, understand and explain various aspects of Jewish history within the broader historical context of the post-Roman Barbarian world. They address a wide variety of topics, sources, and geographies, and together they provide a nuanced and more balanced history of the Jews in the early medieval West. Although written independently of one another by some of the most prominent historians of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, the various essays collected here reveal a remarkable tension between the 'imaginary' (or 'hermeneutical') Jew and the 'real' one. As this volume demonstrates, Augustine's positive theological understanding of Jews and Judaism was often overshadowed by anti-Jewish sentiments, and consequently anti-Jewish invective remained the drive wheel of Christian theology, especially in the context of debates and polemics among the Christians themselves.Yitzhak Hen is Professor of Late Antique and Early Medieval History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Director of the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS). Thomas F.X. Noble is Andrew V. Tackes Professor Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame.

 The Goths and Vandals: The History and Legacy of the Barbarians Who Sacked Rome in the 5th Century CE by Charles River Editors English | December 5, 2018 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B07L5VFLCY | 101 pages | EPUB | 3.67 Mb *Includes pictures  The Barbarians Speak: How the Conquered Peoples Shaped Roman Europe by Peter S. Wells English | June 8, 2021 | ASIN: B08ZJYLL94, ISBN: 0691058717, 0691089787 | AZW3 | 348 pages | 5.5 MB The Barbarians Speak re-creates the story of Europe's indigenous people who were nearly stricken from historical memory even as they adopted and transformed aspects of Roman culture. The Celts and Germans inhabiting temperate Europe before the arrival of the Romans left no written record of their lives and were often dismissed as "barbarians" by the Romans who conquered them. Accounts by Julius Caesar and a handful of other Roman and Greek writers would lead us to think that prior to contact with the Romans, European natives had much simpler political systems, smaller settlements, no evolving social identities, and that they practiced human sacrifice. A more accurate, sophisticated picture of the indigenous people emerges, however, from the archaeological remains of the Iron Age. Here Peter Wells brings together information that has belonged to the realm of specialists and enables the general reader to share in the excitement of rediscovering a "lost people." In so doing, he is the first to marshal material evidence in a broad-scale examination of the response by the Celts and Germans to the Roman presence in their lands.
 Barbarians Led by Bill Gates: Microsoft From The Inside: How The World's Richest Corporation Wields Its Power By Jennifer Edstrom, Marlin Eller 1999 | 245 Pages | ISBN: 0805057552 | PDF | 2 MB Teamed with the daughter of one of Bill Gates's closest associates, thirteen- year Microsoft veteran Marlin Eller illuminates every step along Gates's route to world domination and to Microsoft's current headline-making federal antitrust case, making all that's been written before seem like a rough guess. Revealing the smoke-and- mirror deals, the launching of products that didn't exist, and the boneyard of once-thriving competitors targeted by the Gates juggernaut, this book demonstrates with often hilariously damning detail the Microsoft muddle that passes for strategic direction, offset by Gates's uncanny ability to come from behind to crush whoever is winning. Edstrom and Eller's unrivaled access to key players and their ability to get them to tell the real story makes for a rollicking roller-coaster ride of narrative journalism.  «Barbarians at the Gate» by Bryan Burrough, John Helyar English | MP3@192 kbps | 3h 02m | 250.8 MB "One of the finest, most compelling accounts of what happened to corporate America and Wall Street in the 1980's." -New York Times Book Review |
