A complex and captivating portrait of Mark Antony that offers a fresh perspective on the fall of the Roman Republic In his lifetime, Mark Antony was a famous man. Ally and avenger of Julius Caesar, rhetorical target of Cicero, lover of Cleopatra, and mortal enemy of Octavian (the future emperor Augustus), Antony played a leading role in the transformation of the Roman world. Ever since his and Cleopatra's demise at the hands of Octavian, he has remained famous, or infamous, a figure of recurring fascination. His life--variegated, passionate, sensual, bold, and tragic--inspires vigorous reactions. Nearly everyone has a view on Antony. For Cicero, he was a distasteful though talented man. Octavian fashioned him a dangerous failure, a Roman noble corrupted by his appetites and his lust for Cleopatra. Later historians adopted and adapted these themes, delivering their readers an Antony who was irresistibly depraved, startlingly brave, sometimes cunning, but almost always constitutionally incapable of choosing the right side of history. From these, especially Plutarch's compelling portrait, Shakespeare gave us the chivalrous and unstudied Antony of Antony and Cleopatra. A Noble Ruin, the fullest biography of Antony in English, assimilates the various, often competing, ancient sources to provide a strong and much-needed dose of realism to the caricature we have of this major historical figure. The book gives ample attention to the varied cultural circumstances in which Antony operated, including the social and moral expectations of his republican heritage, as well as the exceptional challenges posed by the convulsion of civil war. In furnishing a complex and captivating portrait of Anthony, A Noble Ruin allows readers to freshly assess his conduct, ambitions, and attainments, as well as the turbulent age in which he lived.

Joëlle Jolivet nous entraîne dans une promenade à travers Paris, son Paris, le Paris éternel, le Paris de tous les jours.Vous ferez bien sûr la visite des hauts lieux touristiques - Notre-Dame, l'Opéra Garnier... mais aussi celle de la vie des Parisiens, les cinémas de Saint-Michel, le canal Saint-Martin, Barbès ou le quartier chinois du 13ᵉ. Un dépliant de 4 pages présente la fabuleuse perspective de la "voie royale" qui va du Louvre à la Grande Arche, et la tour Eiffel, la plus belle, se déploie en pop-up lorsqu'on ouvre la page. Au verso de la jaquette, une carte de la ville situant tous les monuments et lieux représentés dans le livre. Le Paris de Joëlle Jolivet est vivant, palpitant, peuplé par une foule animée, bigarrée, haute en couleur, sous le trait noir de ses gravures : Paris, comme on l'aime ! Une vision de la capitale personnelle et universelle à la fois, accompagnée par des textes de Ramona Bǎdescu.
It-girl au demi-million de followers, Jeanne Damas est considérée comme l’incarnation de La Parisienne. De Vogueà Marie-Claire en passant par Elle, et de New York à Paris en passant par l’Asie, les journalistes n’ont de cesse de l’interroger sur ce qui fait d’elle la nouvelle figure de la mythique Française. Ce à quoi elle répond qu’il y a autant de Parisiennes que de femmes vivant à Paris. C’est le point de départ de ce livre. Non pas essayer de décrypter pour la énième fois « La Parisienne », souvent aussi peu réelle qu’une légende peut l’être, mais faire le portrait de vingt d’entre elles, dont chacune incarne à sa manière l’élégance, la désinvolture, le charme et l’esprit de la légendaire femme de Paris.Ecrit par la journaliste et féministe Lauren Bastide (suivie par 30 000 personnes) et illustré de photos prises par Jeanne Damas, à Paris offre à lire vingt portraits de Parisiennes d’origines, d’âges, de parcours et de quartiers différents, dont les destins sont une ode à la ville qu’elles habitent et la vie qu’elles y mènent. Elles ont de 14 à 70 ans, sont réalisatrice, auteur, libraire, militante ou antiquaire, vivent dans des chambres de bonne, des appartements ou sur une péniche, et elles nous ouvrent les portes de chez elles pour nous faire sillonner Paris et découvrir leurs vies. Croqué avec grâce et talent, chaque portrait est accompagné de 4 à 6 photos en couleurs et d’annexes drôles et légères sur l’art de vivre des Parisiennes et les quartiers de la capitale, également illustrées. Les lecteurs y retrouveront de nombreuses photos de Jeanne (réunies pour la première fois dans un livre), des listes de restaurants, de boulangeries, de boutiques ou de vins, et le portrait, en pointillés, des auteurs qui y confient leur style de vie et leur amour des femmes de cette ville.

You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction.After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language.At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people.At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment."Patterns," the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today.

With a new introduction by Anthony Arnove, this updated edition of the classic national bestseller reviews the book's thirty-five year history and demonstrates once again why it is a significant contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools-with its emphasis on great men in high places-to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace.Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of-and in the words of-America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles-the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality-were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.
