 David Holton, "The Cambridge Grammar of Medieval and Early Modern Greek 4 Volume Hardback Set" English | ISBN: 0521195292 | 2019 | 2313 pages | RAR | 146 MB [center]  The Breakdown of the Roman Republic: From Oligarchy to Empire By Christopher S. Mackay 2012 | 502 Pages | ISBN: 1107657024 | DJVU | 7 MB In this book, Christopher Mackay recounts the last century of the Roman Republic in a readable, narrative treatment. Within this narrative he analyzes the breakdown of the traditional Republican form of government as a result of the administrative and political crises brought about by the Roman conquest of the Mediterranean basin in the Middle Republic. He also shows how the many reforms instituted by Augustus, which effectively created the new imperial form of government, were a reaction to the failings of the Republic. Illustrated with an extensive collection of coin images that document the changes in contemporary political ideology, this volume also focuses on the political significance of the key personalities, including Marius, Sulla, and Caesar, who played a large role in the events that lead to the demise of the Roman Republic.

The Art-Architecture Complex By Hal Foster 2013 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1781682305 | EPUB | 27 MB Hal Foster, author of the acclaimed Design and Crime, argues that a fusion of architecture and art is a defining feature of contemporary culture. He identifies a "global style" of architecture--as practiced by Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano--analogous to the international style of Le Corbusier, Gropius and Mies. More than any art, today's global style conveys both the dreams and delusions of modernity. Foster demonstrates that a study of the "art-architecture complex" provides invaluable insight into broader social and economic trajectories in urgent need of analysis.From the Trade Paperback edition.  Jaakko Tahkokallio, "The Anglo-Norman Historical Canon: Publishing and Manuscript Culture " English | ISBN: 1108713777 | 2019 | 75 pages | PDF | 716 KB This Element is a contribution to the ongoing debate on what it meant to publish a book in manuscript. It offers case-studies of three twelfth-century Anglo-Norman historians: William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon, and Geoffrey of Monmouth. It argues that the contemporary success and rapid attainment of canonical authority for their histories was in significant measure the result of successfully conducted publishing activities. These activities are analysed using the concept of a 'publishing circle'. This concept, it is suggested, may have wider utility in the study of authorial publishing in a manuscript culture. This Element is also available as Open Access.  The Amistad Rebellion - An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom By Marcus Rediker 2012 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1101601051 | EPUB | 2 MB On June 28, 1839, the Spanish slave schooner Amistad set sail from Havana on a routine delivery of human cargo. On a moonless night, after four days at sea, the captive Africans rose up, killed the captain, and seized control of the ship. They attempted to sail to a safe port, but were captured by the U.S. Navy and thrown into jail in Connecticut. Their legal battle for freedom eventually made its way to the Supreme Court, where their cause was argued by former president John Quincy Adams. In a landmark ruling, they were freed and eventually returned to Africa. The rebellion became one of the best-known events in the history of American slavery, celebrated as a triumph of the legal system in films and books, all reflecting the elite perspective of the judges, politicians, and abolitionists involved in the case. In this powerful and highly original account, Marcus Rediker reclaims the rebellion for its true proponents: the African rebels who risked death to stake a claim...
