Wortes and All
Food was as important a part of daily life in the Middle Ages, as it is today. In Wortes and All: Medieval Cooking food historian Emma Kay examines what people were eating and drinking in England from the Norman Conquest in 1066 to the 1500s. We not only discover what people were cooking and how they cooked it, but also the influences on their cuisine and sources of food, home and abroad, as society changed in this period. Alongside the history of various types of food and drink throughout the medieval period, the author has sourced recipes from Anglo-Saxon medical tomes, Scandinavian sagas and Middle Eastern cookery manuscripts to explore a varied culinary cultural dialogue. From soups, stews, salads, meat, fish, eggs and fruit to sauces, drinks and confection, this cornucopia of medieval food and drink will fascinate all of those interested in the story of cooking and eating during this complex and many-faceted era.
Temné náboženství
Jungiánští analytici Vlado Šolc a George J. Didier se rozhodli prozkoumat psychologickou dynamiku a příčiny náboženského fundamentalismu a fanatismu. Kniha nabízí hlubinně psychologickou analýzu toho, co se stane, když člověka ovládnou nevědomé energie bytostného Já. Temné náboženství také odhaluje, že spiritualita je neodmyslitelným rozměrem lidského života a jednou z jeho nejpodstatnějších potřeb. „Temnou“ se stává pouze tehdy, když popírá, ignoruje nebo se jinak odděluje od svých životně důležitých kořenů.
Autoři zavádějí termín temné náboženství pro označení všech forem fanatických, radikálních a extrémních náboženství, včetně konspiračních teorií. Jejich studie ukazuje, jak temné náboženství může vést k hlubokým konfliktům na osobní i kulturní úrovni – včetně terorismu a válek.

The English Longbow - Investigating a myth Volume 1
The medieval English longbow has been the subject of considerable debate. The English Longbow - Investigating a Myth will draw out the arguments concerning it and produce a balanced and convincing summary. The book opens with a detailed description of the weapon system ? the bow, arrow, and arrowheads. The origin of the longbow has been much discussed and the Shortbow-Longbow conundrum is examined in depth. The longbow?s capabilities and effectiveness are evaluated using recent research allied to contemporary accounts. The part the bow played in the ?Infantry Revolution? and the longbow''s relationship with the crossbow are covered.The longbow could only be employed in war if the monarch could mobilise the resources needed to manufacture it and if English society could provide the strong-backed archers able to use it. These issues are investigated, including a consideration of the legal and societal framework needed.The English Longbow - Investigating a Myth is an honest appraisal of the longbow. It is not a book of battles but one that describes how the bow was used, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. It provides a comprehensive and balanced assessment of what was and remains the weapon that made Britain.
The Rise and Fall of the Privatized Pension System in Chile
‘The Rise and Fall of the Privatized Pension System in Chile’ focuses on the Chilean experience with a privatised pension system since the early 1980 when launched by the Pinochet regime. It explores economic, financial and political economy dimensions of a private pension system based on individual savings capacity implemented in a highly unequal country. The book also highlights the role played by the pension system as a mechanism of savings redistribution from wage earners and the self-employed to the funding of big corporations at home and abroad, in a process intermediated by profit-making pension fund management companies. The book compares the resilience of Chile’s private pension system with the reversals of the privatised pension system in recent years in countries of Latin America and Central-Eastern Europe. It outlines a program of structural pension reform towards a more progressive, public-based system.
You Can Kill Each Other After I Leave
In 2012, the far right Golden Dawn were building a significant street presence in Greece. Over the previous decade they had grown from a tiny group of neofascist brawlers to a formidable vigilante force responsible for multiples murders, street fights and shootings. Golden Dawn became a significant parliamentary presence and used it as a platform to escalate their terror campaigns against migrants and leftist across the country. They also became an inspiration for far right groups across Europe and the Americas. Strickland first arrived in Greece in 2015 to cover the European refugee crisis, eventually moving there in 2017. With an eye for journalistic detail that recalls Orwell''s reportage in Spain, Strickland traces the antecedents of Golden Dawn to the dark years of Nazi occupation and subsequent military dictatorship and looks at the post 2008 economic crisis that emboldened the far right. You Can Kill Each Other After I Leave provides an intimate portrait of the stories of migrants and activists resisting the growth of the far-right, as well as a vivid and shrewd analysis of the evolving political landscape in Greece and Europe.
The Sound of Welsh Patagonia
An ethnographic study of the Welsh-Patagonians that live in the settlement of Y Wladfa. In 1865, a group of 153 Welsh settlers emigrated to Argentina, following an offer from the Argentine government of one hundred square miles on which to live, with the hope of creating a little Wales away from Wales, free from the influence of the English. The Sound of Welsh Patagonia explores the historical and present-day implications of this emigration through an ethnographic account of how and why Welshness is created, sustained, and performed in the Chubut Province of Patagonia, Southern Argentina. The monograph is based on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in the village of Gaiman and surrounding areas with a community of Welsh Patagonians who live in the Chubut Province. Drawing on data gathered from in-depth participant observation and interviews, it argues that the individual and collective subjectivity (of both the Welsh self and the broader community as Welsh) was performatively constituted in the settler colony through the dynamics of seeing and being seen, and through the dynamics of hearing and being heard. In making this argument, The Sound of Welsh Patagonia analyses a series of ethnographic encounters to consider the usefulness and limitations of concepts that have been developed to theorize the self, such as subjectivity, subjectivization, performance, performativity, and self-cultivation.
Telling The Truth Is Dangerous
One of the first biographies of an Irish historian, this book relates the C20 struggle to show that Ireland had a history at all, and then to take that history away from the propagandists. The story is told through the life of Robert Dudley Edwards, famed as an eccentric but emerging as a deft operator in a dangerous political world. It also shows how the study of history changed after World War II, and why so many intelligence officers — from Hugh Trevor-Roper to Asa Briggs to Desmond Williams — became historians after 1945. Written by his granddaughter, the journalist Neasa MacErlean, the book also describes his harrowing family life, and the damage inflicted by the narcissist personality disorder of his older daughter Mary. His younger two children, Owen and Ruth, went on to become well-known historians, and the book also explains the dynamics of this family of historians.
From Eden to Egypt
The Bible is one story told through dozens of people over thousands of years. As Christians, we know we''re supposed to believe this - and so we do. But when we pick up our Bibles, if we''re honest, we sometimes lose the thread, especially with some of the strange and obscure happenings in Genesis.We can''t help but wonder, What''s this all about?!Who - or what - are the Nephilim? What about this mysterious Melchizedek who seems to appear out of nowhere? Why are there so many genealogies? Why do Abraham and a Hittite haggle for so long about the price of a rinky-dink cave? Hang on, are we supposed to be comfortable with Abraham sacrificing his son? Or with Lot''s, um, unseemly family dynamics? Or with Jacob''s multiple wives? Why do the book''s heroes so often act like villains?And, of course, what does all this have to with Jesus and the gospel?Careful readers of the Bible have many questions about Genesis. In From Eden to Egypt, Alex Duke will give everyday Christians a guided tour of these wonderful stories so that they''ll see - perhaps for the first time - that it''s all there for a reason."Alex has gifted the church with an accessible and faithful guide through the book of Genesis." —KIRK COUSINS, NFL Quarterback"With engaging storytelling and culturally relevant illustrations, Duke helps us see where God’s people have been and where they’re headed." —HUNTER BELESS, host of Journeywomen and author of Read it, See it, Say it, Sing it: Knowing and Loving the Bible
The Devil's Horsemen
In the fifth century, Attila the Hun terrorised both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires; his were the first of the Devil’s horsemen. After his death his empire quickly disintegrated – but then came the Magyars, fighting the early Holy Roman Empire, and the heavy cavalry used to counter them is where the concept of the knight in armour comes from. Thirdly, there are the Turks, the only group that didn’t expand into Europe, but instead conquered the Middle East. Like the other groups, they were shamanistic pagans and yet within a generation they had converted to Islam.Fourthly, and most famously, we have the Mongol Empire, the largest land-based empire in history, spreading from Korea to Poland. It was hugely important for a century and its impact lasted for half a millennium. Finally, there is Tamerlane. Alexander the Great gets a lot of credit for fighting for eight years without a loss. Tamerlane fought for 25 without loss and he was paralysed down one side of his body. He would even vanquish two of the earlier groups, in wars against the Mongols and the Turkish Ottoman sultans.What links them all is the horse as a weapon of war. In his own attractive style – ‘as accessible as it is informative’ (Deus Vult) – Jem Duducu rides across a thousand years of conquest on horseback.
Lost Nottingham
The city of Nottingham has been an important centre of trade and industry in the East Midlands since the Middle Ages. Famous particularly for lace-making, centred on the preserved Lace Market area, it was also home to the household names of Boots the chemists and Raleigh bicycles. Since the Norman period the layout of Nottingham and its streets remained virtually the same until the mid-twentieth century. In the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s, Nottingham began to see many historic quarters of the city disappear. Large areas were demolished; centuries-old streets disappeared, particularly around the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre where numerous ancient caves under buildings were also destroyed; and famous old buildings such as the Black Boy hotel, Holy Trinity Church and Victoria train station fell victim to the bulldozers. This book sets out to explore what has been lost in the city over the years through photographs, slides, postcards, documents and illustrations from the Paul Nix Collection, the Nottingham Hidden History Team archive and the author’s own photographs.Lost Nottingham presents a portrait of a city and a way of life that has radically changed or disappeared today, often in the name of progress and development, showing not just the industries and buildings that have gone, people and street scenes, but also many popular places of entertainment and much more. This fascinating photographic history of lost Nottingham will appeal to all those who live in the city or know it well, as well as those who remember it from previous decades.
Nové vymezení středověké filosofie - Latinský věk (354-1664) jako éra znaků
John Deely (1942–2017) nám líčí dějiny latinského myšlení, a to z hlediska vývoje sémiotiky, která je podle něj jedním ze základních přínosů latinské civilizace. Deely rozplétá její zápasy od doby Augustinovy přes scholastiku až do první poloviny 17. století, kdy latinský věk předává štafetu novověkému myšlení. Latinská křesťanská filosofie se zabývala především dějinami spásy, usilovala o charakterizaci Boha, světa a člověka v něm, přičemž šlo vždycky o poctivé úsilí vysoce vzdělaných lidí. Deely nabízí příběh, který do latinských staletí vnáší novou perspektivu, než na jakou jsme v novověku zvyklí. Teologické spory odsouvá stranou a současně nabízí možnost pochopit, o co šlo. Dokáže se držet tématu výkladu světa a pokud možno nezabředávat do zákrut středověké teologie či do politických dějin.
Augustin z Hipponu jako hlavní otec-zakladatel latinské tradice zavedl do latinského myšlení pojem znaku (signum). Přitom se domníval, že jenom překládá řecký pojem sémeion. Avšak zatímco sémeion se vztahuje pouze k projevům přírodním, signum se vztahuje také k jazyku a lidskému nitru, jež rozhodujícím způsobem přispívají k rozumění. Naše představy, zkušenosti, paměťové stopy atd., věci existující ve světě i ty v naší mysli mohou vystupovat též jako znaky, tj. označovat něco jiného. Tato základní figura je po celá staletí upřesňována a doplňována, aby nauka vyvrcholila v pozdní scholastice Janem od sv. Tomáše alias Johnem Poinsotem (1589–1644). Nauka možná vyvrcholila, ale svět už neovlivnila: ubíral se jinam, inspirován Poinsotovými současníky, jako byli Galileo a Descartes. Teprve Charles S. Peirce (1839–1914) se začne obírat středověkou scholastikou (tu pozdní patrně neznal), navazuje na latinské myšlení a buduje novou nauku, sémiotiku, jež je v Deelyho podání paralelou k novověké filosofii, jak se odvíjela u Kanta, a mostem k postnovověkému myšlení.
Teolog Vladimír Boublík ve svých dopisech Monice
Dochované dopisy římskokatolického kněze, teologa a exulanta Vladimíra Boublíka Monice Schreier z let 1963 až 1968 a z posledních týdnů jeho života v srpnu a září 1974 přinášejí zajímavé svědectví o životě patrně nejvýznamnějšího českého teologa, žijícího od roku 1952 v římském exilu. Sbírka intimně laděných dopisů přibližuje všednodenní život dvou lidí, které svedla dohromady Moničina pouť ke hrobu svatého Petra. Korespondence zároveň otevírá čtenáři možnost nahlédnout do Boublíkova ryzího teologického díla, jehož část byla přeložena do češtiny.
Posledný Čechoslovák
Ivan Dérer patril k popredným slovenským čechoslovakistom a do konca svojho života sa hlásil k politickému dedičstvu Tomáša G. Masaryka. Do spoločenského a politického života sa zapojil už pred prvou svetovou vojnou. Stal sa signatárom Martinskej deklarácie a v medzivojnovom období zastával v československej vláde viaceré ministerské posty. Po rozpade druhej Česko-Slovenskej republiky žil v Prahe. V auguste 1944 bol zatknutý a väznený na Pankráci a v Terezíne. Po druhej svetovej vojne pôsobil do nástupu komunistického mocenského monopolu vo funkcii predsedu Najvyššieho súdu. V rokoch 1954 – 1955 bol väznený komunistickým režimom. Publikácia analyzuje nielen Dérerovu životnú a politickú dráhu, ale venuje pozornosť i jeho názorom a dobovým svedectvám poskytujúcim inšpiráciu k tomu, aby sme si spolu s ním pripomenuli niektoré politické osobnosti a dôležité udalosti našich dejín.
Celebrating St Andrews
The town of St Andrews in Fife has much to celebrate. Its cathedral was the largest church built in Scotland and the bishops, and later archbishops, played an important role in ruling medieval Scotland. Scotland’s first university was established in St Andrews, which began teaching religious studies in 1410. The university has been the choice for many famous people and is also responsible for many of the town’s traditions. The town was a favourite of Mary, Queen of Scots, who owned a home in St Andrews. In 1663, astrologer and mathematician James Gregory published a design for the first reflecting telescope in St Andrews, and in 1673 Gregory laid the first Meridian line, which earned St Andrews the title ‘the place where time began’. St Andrews is best known, however, as the home of golf. The game had been played and developed in the town for centuries before the formation of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in 1754, which is considered the headquarters of golf. The town is also famous for its long, sandy beaches, which attracted filmmakers who shot the opening sequence of Chariots of Fire on the West Sands. The Lammas market, the oldest surviving medieval market, is still held in the centre of town, and the annual St Andrew’s Day celebrations, the patron saint of Scotland from whom the town takes its name, are a major attraction. Yet not all of the big names from St Andrews are human: Hamish McHamish, a large ginger cat, became one of the best-known residents and is remembered by a statue in the town centre.Celebrating St Andrews chronicles the proud heritage of the town, its important moments and what draws so many to this fascinating place today. Illustrated throughout, this fascinating book offers a marvellous and refreshingly positive insight into St Andrews’ rich history.
The Digital Watch Story
Today, wrist watches are part practical, part fashion and part wearable tech. This was just as true at the beginning of the 1970s, with the invention of the digital watch. Initially they were incredibly expensive, first seen on the wrists of James Bond and Elton John. However, the technology soon became more affordable, and they were considered a cool must-have gadget.Over the coming decades, they evolved from the early red LED displays to today’s smart watches and fitness trackers. Along the way there were games watches, radios and calculators – even a TV on your wrist. In this book Andy Morten explores the history and cultural significance of this influential device.
Sons of the Arghandab
Sons of the Arghandab tells the story of the 1-320th Field Artillery "Top Guns" Battalion, 101st Airborne, in the Arghandab Valley, 2010-2011.The Arghandab River Valley is known for its lush vegetation from its grape furrows and its pomegranate orchards. It’s also known as the birthplace of several Taliban leaders such as Mullah Omar and Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, and was a major crossing route for weapons coming from Pakistan into Kandahar. This hostile environment had already claimed the lives of many seasoned Infantrymen. But the Top Guns weren''t infantrymen, they were artillerymen, deployed without their usual weapons and with minimal last-minute training, redesignated as "provisional infantrymen." Painstakingly researched by one of the Top Guns and told through the perspectives of the men who survived that terrible year, this is the harrowing story of Alpha, HHB, and Bravo Batteries as they undertook the challenges of an Artillery unit charged with an Infantry mission in the most hostile killing fields in Afghanistan.
Midget Submarines 1939–45
Some of the most daring naval raids undertaken during World War II involved the use of midget submarines—craft of under 150 tons and crewed by just a handful of men—including Japanese midget submarines deployed at Pearl Harbor, the British X-craft attack on the Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord protected by layers of antisubmarine defenses, an Italian Maiale attaching limpet mines to the HMS Valiant, and German craft attacking Allied shipping off landing beaches.This Casemate Illustrated Special features all classes of midget subs and human torpedoes designed and used during World War II and explores how they were used. It also features the recovery of various wrecks of German, British, Japanese, and Italian midget submarines, including the search for the midget submarines sunk at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The final chapter features the restoration, testing and successful operation of a German Biber midget submarine.Period photographs, artwork, and exterior and interior images of the many midget submarines preserved in museums accompany the expert text.
Now, the People! Revolution in the Twenty-First Century
A major investigation of the possibility of a new type of revolution in our epoch by the leader of the French radical left
In summer 2024, France stood on the brink of a far-right takeover. But the disaster was avoided thanks to a New Popular Front of parties headed by long-standing left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It won the most seats in the snap parliamentary elections, running on a radical, progressive, inclusive agenda, in large part inspired by Mélenchon’s presidential programme. Now, the People! details his vision of revolution in our time.
In this book, Mélenchon embarks on a survey of human history from its earliest moments to the crisis- ridden present. He outlines his vision for a new strategy for radical parties to reach the highest levels of government and peacefully transform the capitalist system: a citizens’ revolution.
In this revolution, individuals come together to form a single, politically mobilised people. They assert their power over the collective conditions of urbanised life, against the oligarchy that still controls them.
