The Italic People of Ancient Apulia: New Evidence from Pottery for Workshops, Markets, and Customs by T. H. Carpenter, K. M. Lynch, E. G. D. Robinson 2014 | ISBN: 1107041864 | English | 369 pages | True PDF | 22 MB The focus of this book is on the Italic people of Apulia during the fourth century B.C., when Italic culture seems to have reached its peak of affluence. Scholars have largely ignored these people and the region they inhabited. During the past several decades archaeologists have made significant progress in revealing the cultures of Apulia through excavations of habitation sites and un-plundered tombs, often published in Italian journals. This book makes the broad range of recent scholarship - from new excavations and contexts to archaeometric testing of production hypotheses to archaeological evidence for reconsidering painter attributions - available to English-speaking audiences. In it thirteen scholars from Italy, the United States, Great Britain, France, and Australia present targeted essays on aspects of the cultures of the Italic people of Apulia during the fourth century BC and the surrounding decades.  The Edinburgh Companion to Ezra Pound and the Arts (Edinburgh Companions to Literature and the Humanities) by Roxana Preda 2019 | ISBN: 1474429173 | English | 560 pages | True PDF | 62 MB Showcases Ezra Pound's close involvement with the arts throughout his career  Surrogate Warfare: The Transformation of War in the Twenty-First Century by Andreas Krieg, Jean-Marc Rickli 2019 | ISBN: 1626166781, 1626166773 | English | 244 pages | PDF | 2 MB Surrogate Warfare explores the emerging phenomenon of "surrogate warfare" in twenty-first century conflict. The popular notion of war is that it is fought en masse by the people of one side versus the other. But the reality today is that both state and non-state actors are increasingly looking to shift the burdens of war to surrogates. Surrogate warfare describes a patron's outsourcing of the strategic, operational, or tactical burdens of warfare, in whole or in part, to human and/or technological substitutes in order to minimize the costs of war. This phenomenon ranges from arming rebel groups, to the use of armed drones, to cyber propaganda. Krieg and Rickli bring old, related practices such as war by mercenary or proxy under this new overarching concept. Apart from analyzing the underlying sociopolitical drivers that trigger patrons to substitute or supplement military action, this book looks at the intrinsic trade-offs between substitutions and control that shapes the relationship between patron and surrogate. Surrogate Warfare will be essential reading for anyone studying contemporary conflict.  Religion Around John Donne by Joshua Eckhardt 2019 | ISBN: 0271083379 | English | 208 pages | EPUB | 1 MB In this volume, Joshua Eckhardt examines the religious texts and books that surrounded the poems, sermons, and inscriptions of the early modern poet and preacher John Donne. Focusing on the material realities legible in manuscripts and Sammelbände, bookshops and private libraries, Eckhardt uncovers the myriad ways in which Donne's writings were received and presented, first by his contemporaries, and later by subsequent readers of his work.  C. J. Freezer, "PSL Book of Model Railway Track Plans" English | 1988 | ISBN: 0850599059 | 112 pages | Scanned PDF | 12.56 MB The 70 track plans in this handbook give ample scope for beginners and experienced modellers alike. Layouts are grouped by theme, ranging from very simple to more complex and are drawn to a single scale throughout.

Preaching Christology in the Roman Near East: A Study of Jacob of Serugh (Oxford Early Christian Studies) by Philip Michael Forness 2019 | ISBN: 0198826451 | English | 352 pages | True PDF | 3 MB Preaching formed one of the primary, regular avenues of communication between ecclesiastical elites and a wide range of society. Clergy used homilies to spread knowledge of complex theological debates prevalent in late antique Christian discourse. Some sermons even offer glimpses into the locations in which communities gathered to hear orators preach. Although homilies survive in greater number than most other types of literature, most do not specify the setting of their initial delivery, dating, and authorship. Preaching Christology in the Roman Near East addresses how we can best contextualize sermons devoid of such information. The first chapter develops a methodology for approaching homilies that draws on a broader understanding of audience as both the physical audience and the readership of sermons. The remaining chapters offer a case study on the renowned Syriac preacher Jacob of Serugh (c. 451-521) whose metrical homilies form one of the largest sermon collections in any language from late antiquity. His letters connect him to a previously little-known Christological debate over the language of the miracles and sufferings of Christ through his correspondence with a monastery, a Roman military officer, and a Christian community in South Arabia. He uses this language in homilies on the Council of Chalcedon, on Christian doctrine, and on biblical exegesis. An analysis of these sermons demonstrates that he communicated miaphysite Christology to both elite reading communities as well as ordinary audiences. Philip Michael Forness provides a new methodology for working with late antique sermons and discloses the range of society that received complex theological teachings through preaching.  One Hundred Patents That Shaped the Modern World by David Segal 2019 | ISBN: 0198834314 | English | 240 pages | PDF | 1 MB What would our world today be like without inventions like tarmac, aspirin, liquid crystals, and barbed wire?

On the Trail of the Serpent: The Life and Crimes of Charles Sobhraj by Richard Neville, Julie Clarke English | December 3rd, 2020 | ISBN: 1529112435, 0224017764 | 368 pages | EPUB | 15.46 MB SOON TO BE THE SUBJECT OF A MAJOR TV SERIES  Modernizing Solitude: The Networked Individual in Nineteenth-Century American Literature by Yoshiaki Furui 2019 | ISBN: 0817320067 | English | 256 pages | EPUB | 2 MB An innovative and timely examination of the concept of solitude in nineteenth-century American literature  Logical Fictions in Medieval Literature and Philosophy (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature) by Virginie Greene 2014 | ISBN: 1107068746, 1107660173 | English | 322 pages | EPUB | 1 MB In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, new ways of storytelling and inventing fictions appeared in the French-speaking areas of Europe. This new art still influences our global culture of fiction. Virginie Greene explores the relationship between fiction and the development of neo-Aristotelian logic during this period through a close examination of seminal literary and philosophical texts by major medieval authors, such as Anselm of Canterbury, Abélard, and Chrétien de Troyes. This study of Old French logical fictions encourages a broader theoretical reflection about fiction as a universal human trait and a defining element of the history of Western philosophy and literature. Additional close readings of classical Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle, and modern analytic philosophy including the work of Bertrand Russell and Rudolf Carnap, demonstrate peculiar traits of Western rationalism and expose its ambivalent relationship to fiction. |
