Pen & Sword Books Ltd Byzantine Emperor Constantine V, 'the Dung-named': General, Patriarch, Iconoclast, Reformer
GTIN: 9781036114824 Raamatud
Brilliant general and reformer, Constantine V strengthened Byzantium but was reviled for his harsh iconoclasm.Constantine V, was the second East Roman (Byzantine) emperor of the Isaurian Dynasty. A masterful general, who halted the Arab Umayyad advance and went on the counter attack, he was loved by the fighting men of the East till well after his death. He was also an active ruler in other spheres, continuing the legal, social and governmental reforms of his father. His reign effectively strengthened the Empire, which was on the brink of collapse at the end of the Heraclian dynasty and he is generally regarded as one of the most capable men to rule from Constantinople. A ruthless persecutor and iconoclast, he was, however, reviled and maligned by the monastic historians of the church. His true brilliance and accomplishments would always be overshadowed by the name they bestowed upon him after his death: Copronymos (‘the dung-named’). He was compared to a summoner of demons, a magician or even a precursor to the Antichrist.Married three times to women who themselves are worthy of books, he was shrewd in his choice of wives and poltically savvy. As a shrewd ruler and administrator, and for his influence upon the theological debates of his day, he bears comparison with the much-better-known Justinian I, some 200 years before. However, unlike Justinian, his military leadership was more personal and he met his death on campaign in Bulgaria. Autorid: Leslie Ivings

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Transforming Heritage Practice in the 21st Century: Contributions from Community Archaeology 2019 ed.
GTIN: 9783030143268 Raamatud
Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the fields of cultural heritage studies and community archaeology worldwide with expanding discussions about the mechanisms and consequences of community participation. This trend has brought to the forefront debates about who owns the past, who has knowledge, and how heritage values can be shared more effectively with communities who then ascribe meaning and value to heritage materials. Globalization forces have created a need for contextualizing knowledge to address complex issues and collaboration across and beyond academic disciplines, using more integrated methodologies that include the participation of non-academics and increased stakeholder involvement. Successful programs provide power sharing mechanisms and motivation that effect more active involvement by lay persons in archaeological fieldwork as well as interpretation and information dissemination processes. Withthe contents of this volume, we envision community archaeology to go beyond descriptions of outreach and public engagement to more critical and reflexive actions and thinking. The volume is presented in the context of the evolution of cultural heritage studies from the 20th century expert approach to the 21st century people-centered approach, with public participation and community involvement at all phases of the decision-making process. The volume contains contributions of 28 chapters and 59 authors, covering an extensive geographical range, including Africa, South America, Central America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, and Australasia. Chapters provide exemplary cases in a growing lexicon of public archaeology where power is shared within frameworks of voluntary activism in a wide diversity of cooperative settings and stakeholder interactions.

Princeton University Press T. rex and the Crater of Doom Revised edition
GTIN: 9780691169668 Raamatud
Sixty-five million years ago, a comet or asteroid larger than Mount Everest slammed into the Earth, inducing an explosion equivalent to the detonation of a hundred million hydrogen bombs. Vaporized detritus blasted through the atmosphere upon impact, falling back to Earth around the globe. Disastrous environmental consequences ensued: a giant tsunami, continent-scale wildfires, darkness, and cold, followed by sweltering greenhouse heat. When conditions returned to normal, half the plant and animal genera on Earth had perished.This horrific chain of events is now widely accepted as the solution to a great scientific mystery: what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs? Walter Alvarez, one of the Berkeley scientists who discovered evidence of the impact, tells the story behind the development of the initially controversial theory. It is a saga of high adventure in remote locations, of arduous data collection and intellectual struggle, of long periods of frustration ended by sudden breakthroughs, of friendships made and lost, and of the exhilaration of discovery that forever altered our understanding of Earth's geological history.

We have misunderstood Paul, badly. We have read his words through our own set of assumptions. We need to begin with Paul's world view, to see things the way he saw them. - What if 'original sin' was never part of Paul's thinking? - What if the idea that we are saved by faith in Christ, as Luther argued, was based on a mistranslation of Paul's words and a misunderstanding of Paul's thinking? 'Over the centuries,' writes Steve Chalke, 'the Church has repeatedly failed to communicate, or even understand, the core of Paul's message. Although Paul has often been presented as the champion of exclusion, he was the very opposite. He was the great includer.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Merleau-Ponty 2nd edition
GTIN: 9781138689619 Raamatud
Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-61) was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. His theories of perception and the role of the body have had an enormous impact on the humanities and social sciences, yet the full scope of his contribution not only to phenomenology but philosophy generally is only now being fully recognized. In this lucid and comprehensive introduction, Taylor Carman explains and assesses the full range of Merleau-Pontys philosophy. Beginning with an overview of Merleau-Pontys life and work, subsequent chapters cover fundamental aspects of Merleau-Pontys thought, including his philosophy of perception and intentionality; the role of the body in perception; freedom and our relation to others; history and culture; and art, particularly the paintings of Cézanne. A final chapter considers Merleau-Pontys importance today, examining his philosophy in light of recent developments in philosophy of mind and cognitive science. This second edition makes use of the new translation of Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception, his most important work, highlighting its critique of "objective thought" and the account of constrained freedom that Merleau-Ponty advanced as a foil to Sartres notion of radical choice. Including annotated further reading and a glossary of key terms, Merleau-Ponty, Second Edition is essential reading for students of phenomenology, existentialism and twentieth-century philosophy. It is also ideal for anyone in the humanities and social sciences seeking an introduction to Merleau-Pontys work. Autorid: Taylor Carman

C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd Hezbollah: Mobilisation and Power
GTIN: 9781911723448 Raamatud
Almost forty years after its foundation, Hezbollah remains an enigma. Is it an Islamist terrorist group dedicated to destroying Israel or the first Arab national resistance ever to have defeated Tel Avivs troops? Should we look at it as a patriotic and respectable party or a fascist network at the centre of Lebanese political life? Hezbollah intrigues all the more for the difficulty involved in studying it. Its weakening, if not demise, has been announced many times since its inception in the early 1980s. But the fact is that Hezbollah has never stopped growing in power, on the national stage as well as in a regional context. This book has three purposes. It first gives a clear definition of Hezbollah, presenting a thorough history of the party, describing its established internal structure, and the scope of its social and political action. It then explains the evolution of the partys mobilisation. Finally, it illustrates another path, political but mainly identity-related that of the Shiite community, today the main constituent of Lebanese society. This rigorous and richly documented study, drawing on primary sources and hundreds of interviews with members, executives and officials of the party, unveils new aspects of this organisation, of the Hezbollah phenomenon and of Lebanese politics at the turn of the twenty-first century.

A history of the city of Seoul through the lens of architecture and urban life.Seoul Urban Architecture is a powerful and original study of Seoul’s urban and architectural evolution, told through the lens of an architect and educator who has lived and worked in the city for over four decades. In his book, which is part memoir, part cultural history, and part urban analysis, Sung Hong Kim traces how South Korea’s capital—once a walled city shaped by Confucian ideals—has become a sprawling, vertical metropolis marked by rapid modernization, deep structural contradictions, and a fierce, creative resilience. Organized into four parts, Kim surveys Seoul’s urban landscape from the late fourteenth century to the aftermath of the Korean War, illuminating the layers of occupation, destruction, and imposed planning that have shaped the city’s foundation. He guides the reader through periods of urban, legal, technological, and cultural constraints that eventually gave birth to new vitality, creativity, and innovation from an emerging generation of architects. His reflections on displacement, constraint, and ingenuity speak to a broader global condition faced by architects and urban designers alike: how to find meaning and agency within environments shaped by forces beyond their control. At once personal and panoramic, Seoul Urban Architecture offers a vital perspective on this city of paradoxes, where fragments of history coexist with radical new forms, and where the uneven fabric of urban life reveals the story of a nation that has risen, in several bursts, from the ruins of war and colonization to become a cultural and economic powerhouse. Autorid: Sung Hong Kim

Princeton University Press How to Be Stoic: An Ancient Guide to Keeping Calm
GTIN: 9780691244655 Raamatud
An inviting new translation of essential selections from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, one of the most popular and profound works of ancient StoicismHow do you keep calm when the world seems to be falling apart around you? When Marcus Aurelius was emperor, the Roman Empire was at the height of its power and prosperity, but it also suffered flood, famine, plague, and endless wars. He was frequently away from the capitol leading his legions in battle, and he died in an army camp. To cope with the enormous pressures he faced, Marcus turned to the philosophy of Stoicism, writing brief passages to reflect on its ideas and strategies for putting challenges in perspective. The result was the Meditations, a profound and moving work about the human condition. Elegant, spiritual, and by turns serious and humorous, this masterpiece of Stoicism still resonates powerfully today. How to Be Stoic offers a fresh, fluid, and engaging translation of its most stirring and important passages.Gretchen Reydams-Schils, a leading authority on Roman Stoicism, has carefully chosen and skillfully translated passages that exemplify the key themes of the Meditations, from everyday irritations such as encountering difficult people to existential worries such as the fear of death. How to Be Stoic also features a substantial and authoritative introduction and the original Greek text on facing pages. The result is perhaps the most accessible edition of the Meditations available. Autorid: Marcus Aurelius, Gretchen Reydams-Schils

Wolfram Research, Inc. A New Kind of Science

"This work presents a series of dramatic discoveries never before made public. Starting from a collection of simple computer experiments--illustrated in the book by striking computer graphics--Wolfram shows how their unexpected results force a whole new way of looking at the operation of our universe. Wolfram uses his approach to tackle a remarkable array of fundamental problems in science: from the origin of the Second Law of thermodynamics, to the development of complexity in biology, the computational limitations of mathematics, the possibility of a truly fundamental theory of physics, and the interplay between free will and determinism"--

Verso Control Science: How Management Made the Modern World
Tootekood: A63395903 GTIN: 9781804293201 Raamatud
Today, the ideas of modern economics seem as natural as the laws of gravity. That we are all private and self-interested individuals competing in the marketplace have become common sense. Yet this obscures the centuries long, contested history of the struggle between workers and capitalists for control of their work and of their lives. The ideas that rule our lives are not scientific truths that experts have discovered but political visions created by ideologues.In this sweeping work of history, Henry Snow traces the long arc of the "science of control" over the past four hundred. Moving from colonial America and the enclosure of common land in early modern England, via Josiah Wedgwood's Etruria and Jeremy and Samuel Bentham’s attempts to transform labor and governance in Russia and Britain, to the vast Amazon warehouses of today, Snow demonstrates how bosses have thought about control in the workplace and how those ideas have been both implemented and contested. Blending intellectual and economic history, Control Science is a thrilling and lucid work of history that will in denaturalising the economic ideas, show how they developed and who developed them, helping us to see the world anew.

Penguin Putnam Inc World Eaters: How Venture Capital is Cannibalizing the Economy
GTIN: 9780593473481 Raamatud
Argues that the harmful influence of the venture capital ethos across various sectors has exacerbated inequality, worker exploitation, and societal destruction, and offers alternative models for sustainable growth, calling for regulatory reforms to foster inclusive innovation and prevent further economic harm. "An urgent and illuminating insider/outsider perspective that offers a window into how the most pernicious aspects of the venture capital ethos is reaching all areas of our lives, into everything from healthcare to food to entertainment to the labor market, and leaving a trail destruction in their wake"-- Longlisted for the Non-Obvious Book Award 2025A Next Big Idea Book Club March 2025 Must-ReadAn urgent and illuminating perspective that offers a window into how the most pernicious aspects of the venture capital ethos is reaching all areas of our lives, into everything from healthcare to food to entertainment to the labor market and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.The venture capital playbook is causing unique harms to society. And in World Eaters, Catherine Bracy offers a window into the pernicious aspects of VC and shows us how its bad practices are bleeding into all industries, undermining the labor and housing markets and posing unique dangers to the economy at large. VC’s creates a wide, powerful wake that impacts the average consumer just as much as it does investors and entrepreneurs.In researching this book, Bracy has interviewed founders, fund managers, contract and temp workers in the gig economy, and Limited Partners across the landscape. She learned that the current VC model is not a good fit for the majority of start-ups, and yet, there are too few options for early stage funding outside of VC dollars. And while there are some alternative paths for sustainable, responsible growth, without the help of regulators, there is not much motivation to drive investors from the roulette table that is venture capital.World Eaters is an eye-opening account of the ways that the values of contemporary venture capital hurt founders, consumers, and the market. Bracy’s clear-eyed debut is a must-read for fans of Winners Take All, Super Pumped, and Brotopia, an appealing “insider / outsider” perspective on Silicon Valley, and those who are fascinated to look under the hood and learn why the modern economy is not working for most of us.

Helion & Company Out-Country War Volume 1: The Secret War Begins, Laos 1954-1960
GTIN: 9781804518632 Raamatud
Details how Laos and Cambodia’s conflicts shaped America’s defeat in South Vietnam.The United States of America lost South Vietnam (the ‘In-Country War’) because it was defeated in Laos and Cambodia (the ‘Out-Country War’). This is the first of a series which will, for the first time, reconstruct in detail the full story of the ‘Out-Country War’ and the influence of decisions in Washington, Hanoi and Bangkok.The Secret War Begins shows how Hanoi’s determination to make Laos a Communist state wrecked the 1954 Geneva Agreement. It shows, in detail, how its Pathet Lao puppet regime helped to polarise the nation and Hanoi then ignored a second Geneva Agreement in 1962. The strategic reasons for this included the need to develop the Ho chi Minh Trail to support the struggle in South Vietnam. In response the Americans and their allies, who followed the second agreement in name if not spirit, began a cover proxy war with CIA-backed guerrillas and by using air power. But by now Laotian anti-Communist leaders were almost out of control leaving Laos by the end of 1963 a powder keg ready to explore.Reaching back – often for the first time ever – upon numerous local sources to augment those published in the West, The Secret War Begins tells the full story. It looks not only at the military aspects of this confrontation with far-reaching consequences – like battles on the ground – but, also the growing deployment of air power as well as the political decisions and developments that influenced them, including surprising French influence. The book is richly illustrated with authentic and rare photography, many of which was never published before, detailed maps, and custom-drawn colour profiles. The United States lost South Vietnam (the In-Country War) because it was defeated in Laos and Cambodia (the Out-Country War). This is the first of a series which will provide, for the first time, the full story of the Out-Country War and the influence of decisions in Washington, Hanoi and Bangkok.
