Now capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin rose from insignificant origins on swampy soil, becoming a city of immigrants over the ages. Through a series of ten vignettes, Mary Fulbrook discusses the periods and regimes that shaped its character ? whether Prussian militarism; courtly culture and enlightenment; rapid industrialisation and expansion; ambitious imperialism; experiments with democracy; or repressive dictatorships of both right and left, dramatically evidenced in the violence of World War and genocide, and then in the Wall dividing Cold War Berlin. This book also presents Berlin''s distinctive history as firmly rooted in specific places and sites. Statues and memorials have been erected and demolished, plaques displayed and displaced, and streets named and renamed in recurrent cycles of suppression or resurrection of heroes and remembrance of victims. This vivid and engaging introduction thus reveals Berlin''s startling transformations and contested legacies through ten moments from critical points in its multi-layered history.

Grammatical errors and orthographic mishaps are often played for laughs, but this subtle sanctioning by the sticklerocracy can have real social consequences too. Attention to prescriptive spelling and grammar rules is insidious and harmful.As Jessica Flanigan argues in Why It?s OK to Have Bad Spelling and Grammar, grammarianism often maintains hierarchies, entrenches the advantages of privileged groups, and imposes arbitrary barriers to knowledge production and innovation. For example, the stigmatization of bad spelling and grammar disadvantages linguistic minorities, non-native speakers, and people with disabilities. Spelling and grammar norms are also frequently arbitrary and unnecessary. The petty grammandos among us, who cling to pedantic linguistic conventions, are standing in the way of innovative forms of communication and efficient speech, such as the emoji ?. For these reasons, Flanigan argues that bad spelling and grammar are OK. It?s time to break free from the tyranny of the grammilitia in the name of comprehension and creativity. As long as speakers and writers can effectively communicate to charitable listeners and readers, people shouldn?t care about bad spelling and grammar.Key FeaturesExplains why spelling tests and spelling bees are counterproductive in achieving literacy and better communicationEngages with the history of language policing and the brave anti-grammarian resistanceDescribes some of the key benefits of linguistic liberalismProposes a political agenda to resist the sticklerocracy and overthrow a world of word nerds

Harold Godwinson occupied his place in the chronicles for more than twenty years after bursting onto the political sphere when he was barely out of his teens. His role in English history has always been overshadowed by his failure to defend his crown and country against the might of William the Conqueror and his invaders. His demise at the hands of a Franco-Norman hit squad wrought the death knell of Anglo-Saxon rule. Reigning for just ten months, Harold''s accomplishments as dux Anglorum, and later king of England, were undermined by the Norman propaganda that was waged against his memory, long after his grisly end in 1066.But just who was this man, who some historians recall as one of England''s greatest rulers? What were his origins? Is there any truth that he could trace his ancestry to the House of Wessex, and did he really usurp the throne from Duke William, the Bastard of Normandy? In this re-examining of this great historical figure of the eleventh century, we glean new theories and ideas not only about Harold''s life, but also questions historians have pondered upon for years. Did Edward really offer the throne to William? And how much of William''s claim was truth or fictio? aula Lofting presents a thoughtful and careful critique of the previous research. Examining his life through a telescopic view of the primary sources, she offers the reader a more accurate evaluation of who he was, how he died, and what happened to his remains after his death on a field near Hastings on October 1066.

A objavíš poklad, ktorý sa v tebe skrýva Alice je mladá, odvážna žena. Po rokoch stretáva Jérémieho, priateľa z detstva, ktorý sa stal kňazom na vidieckej farnosti, a trápi ho nezáujem miestnych veriacich. Alice, presvedčená ateistka a profesionálna PR manažérka, sa odhodlá mu pomôcť po svojom. Unesená prúdom udalostí sa ponorí do sveta spirituality. Naprieč kresťanstvom, hinduizmom, taoizmom a budhizmom napokon objaví univerzálnu pravdu. Pravdu o človeku a kľúči k jeho šťastiu a naplneniu, ktorá sa stáročiami vytratila a duchovní o nej mlčia Laurent Gounelle nás v tomto novom, pútavom a strhujúcom románe nabáda k odhaleniu toho, čo človeka povznáša do inej dimenzie, kde sú jeho činy mocné a radosť je stavom trvalým. Návrat k láske Ak hľadáte vzťah s Bohom a pochopenie Kristovej lásky inak ako cez kresťanské náboženstvo, nemôže vo vašej knižnici chýbať dielo úspešnej autorky a skúsenej ženy, ktorú sám život navrátil k Bohu - ku zdroju lásky, našej sily a premeny. V ťažkom zúfalstve z nepochopených lekcií života, našla „náhodou“ Kurz zázrakov. Toto dielo potom aplikovala do denného života a vyriešila si problémy so sebou, s drogami, s milencami, s chudobou aj s rodičmi vďaka pochopeniu, že láska je najsilnejšia energia na zemi a že v každom z nás prebýva Boh. Sila, ktorá nám v každom okamihu pomáha vstať a ísť ďalej v ústrety láske a šťastiu. A to je ten zázrak, ktorý dokáže každý z nás. A tým dokáže zmeniť svet na lepšie miesto pre nás aj tých, čo prídu po nás. Návod je v jednotlivých kapitolách a v ich pochopení. Niekto nazval jej učenie duchovná psychoterapia. Všetci vieme, že duch sa nedá oddeliť od duše a tela, že je ich výživou a hybnou silou a preto môžeme smelo nazvať knihu Návrat k láske liekom. Táto kniha rozhodne zmení váš život. Nezvaná Nepriateľ chce aby sme sa cítili odmienutí..... opustení, osamelí a menejcenní. V knižnom diele Nezvaná, Lysa zdieľa svoje osobné skúsenosti s odmietnutím – od úsudku vnímaného jednou dokonale vyformovanou ženou až k neuveriteľne bolestivým spomienkam na detstvo a otca, ktorý ju opustil. Prikláňa sa ku skúmaniu podstaty odmietnutia, ktoré má schopnosť od základov zničiť vzťahy, ale i náš samotný vzťah k Bohu. S dávkou humoru, neskrývajúcej zraniteľnosti a biblickým ponímaním Vám Lysa pomôže: - Prestať sa cítiť opustení. Pomôže Vám veriť, že aj keď Vás iní prehliadajú, Boh na Vás vždy dozerá, - zmeniť Vašu tendenciu k mareniu alebo ovládaniu konania druhých, pomocou viery a z nej vyplývajúcich spôsobov, ktoré Vám ukážu ako spracovať svoju bolesť. - naučiť, čo presne si želať aby ste sa duševne upokojili a po odmietnutí obnovili Vašu dôveru. - prekonať dve najväčšie obavy, ktoré kŕmia Vašu neistotu. Pochopením tajomstva spolupatričnosti. Váš zlomový rok Bronnie Wareová celé roky počúvala, čo ľudia pred smrťou najviac ľutujú... a neskôr sa rozhodla napísať o tom knihu.

Poutavé vyprávění kočky Justýnky nás zavede do světa holčičky Majdy a jejích každodenních příběhů. Z nich se děti doví kdy poděkovat, poprosit, pozdravit, kdy se omluvit. Naučí se slušnému chování u stolu i u lékaře, nebo půjčovat hračky a nehádat se o ně. Dozvědí se, že nemají lhát, podvádět a brát cizí věci. Také se naučí jak se oblékat na hřiště nebo do divadla. Poznají, že některé děti vypadají jinak, mají jinou barvu pleti a mluví jiným jazykem. Zjistí, že některé děti nemohou dělat to, co ostatní zdravé děti, a takovým, že je třeba nabídnout pomoc. Pomáhat by měly i starším lidem, rodičům a kamarádům. Ke každému příběhu je písnička na stejné téma, která pomůže dětem si tato pravidla slušného chování zapamatovat. Poutavý příběh na přiložené online nahrávce vypráví Jitka Molavcová a písničky zpívají děti z Bambini di Praga.

S novým Stavebný zákon je nevyhnutné vykonať úpravy dotknutých predpisov s cieľom zosúladiť ich s novou reguláciou stavebného práva. Zmeny nadobúdajú účinnosť spolu so Stavebným zákonom od 1. apríla 2025. Ide o komplexné procesné zmeny, nové inštitúty a odlišný spôsob povoľovania stavieb, ktoré je nevyhnutné reflektovať v osobitných predpisoch, aby s účinnosťou novej stavebnej legislatívy bolo vzájomné pôsobenie týchto právnych regulácií možné, bezproblémové a dávalo adresátom práva jasnú odpoveď na ich právnu situáciu... Titul obsahuje úplné znenia zákonov po ostatnej novele: Zákon č. 452/2021 Z. z. o elektronických komunikáciách Upozornenie na zmenu: Zákon č. 254/1998 Z. z. o verejných prácach Zákon č. 369/1990 Zb. o obecnom zriadení • Zákon č. 452/2021 Z. z. o elektronických komunikáciách Zmeny reflektujú na úpravu nového Stavebného zákona, zmeny skladby stavebných úradov a procesu v porovnaní so zrušovaným zákonom č. 201/2022 Z. z. o výstavbe v z.n.p. Cieľom novely je zachovať dnešný právny stav, kedy sa pre stavebné úpravy nadzemných vedení elektronických komunikačných sietí, pri ktorých sa nemení trasa a ani ochranné pásmo nevyžaduje ohlásenie alebo povolenie stavebného úradu. Novela posilňuje právnu istotu vo vzťahu k stavbám elektronických komunikačných sietí, ktoré sú dlhodobo (aspoň 10 rokov) bezproblémovo užívané. Zároveň sa odstraňujú možné pochybnosti o legálnosti starších stavieb elektronických komunikácií, pri ktorých nie sú k dispozícii doklady, na základe, ktorých by sa dala posúdiť legálnosť stavieb. Obdobne sa navrhujú riešiť prípady stavieb elektronických komunikačných sietí, ktoré síce boli povolené ako dočasné stavby, avšak tieto sa dlhodobo bezproblémovo užívajú aj po uplynutí doby, na ktorú boli povolené. Navrhovaná desaťročná lehota predstavuje dostatočnú dobu, v ktorej je možné odhaliť a vyvodiť zodpovednosť za porušenie právnych predpisov pri výstavbe, resp. užívaní, stavby...

Aristotle and Tragic Temporality treats a theme that has drawn scholarly attention for millennia: Aristotle on time and our experience of it. It does so, however, in a wholly unprecedented way, grounding its interpretation in his Poetics and Ethics, rather than the natural philosophy of the Physics. Sean D. Kirkland first takes up Aristotle''s discussion of our tragic temporal situatedness?our having to act, think, and live always between a determining past we can never fully master and a projected future we can never fully anticipate. It is this condition that comes powerfully to light for Aristotle on stage in the performance of a tragic drama. The familiar Aristotelian ?virtue ethics? then becomes something radically new in the transforming light of the Poetics? temporality - an outline of how humans can inhabit that irremediably tragic condition, never overcoming or suspending it, and arrive nonetheless at something like happiness and excellence.

The reasons behind the USA''s involvement in Vietnam remain a subject of extensive debate. Initially, America supported the French until their defeat at Dien Bien Phu, which then shifted to backing the South Vietnamese government due to fears of communism spreading throughout Southeast Asia.Why Vietnam delves into the myriad reasons for US involvement, examining theories that date back to 1918 when Woodrow Wilson ignored Ho Chi Minh''s plea for independence at the Treaty of Versailles, through to Johnson''s full commitment to the undeclared war, which restrained the military to a defensive role in protecting South Vietnam instead of an offensive one that would send troops across the DMZ into Laos and Cambodia.The questions of why the USA became involved, whether their involvement was justified, and if the war was ever winnable have been fiercely debated for over 50 years. This book seeks to address these ''whys'' by providing a thorough examination of all contributing factors, from presidential actions to foreign policy, and the social and political climates of the war era.

Ekzémy a dermatitidy patří mezi nejčastější kožní choroby v ordinaci dermatologa, ale i praktického lékaře pro dospělé a děti. Mezi nejznámější, ale také terapeuticky nejnáročnější, patří atopický a dyshidrotický ekzém a seboroická dermatitida. A nejen z pohledu kožních chorob z povolání také kontaktně alergický ekzém a iritační dermatitida. Od předchozího – zcela rozebraného – vydání této knihy, došlo k výrazným změnám jak v imunopatogenezi, tak k pokroku v lokální a především v systémové terapii. Ve čtvrtém vydání jsou proto všechny kapitoly aktualizovány, doplněny a rozšířeny. Jako hot topic je velká pozornost věnována atopickému ekzému a nově zařazenému ekzému ruky. Systematicky jsou uvedeny základní diagnostické a diferenciálně diagnostické algoritmy ekzému a dermatitid. Rozebrány jsou zásady komplexní léčby a prevence a podrobněji rozvedeny režimy zevní léčby emoliencii, lokálními kortikosteroidy a imunomodulátory. Součástí je i receptář ověřených receptur pro magistraiter preskripci. Dále jsou uvedena i méně častá či nastupující nová lokální léčiva jako jsou inhibitory JAK kináz, fosfodiesterázy 4 a arylhydrokarbonových receptorů. Probrána je fototerapie, psychoterapie i komplementární léčba. K zásadnímu průlomu v oblasti farmakoterapie došlo v oblasti celkové léčby u atopického ekzému, proto jsou v léčbě kromě konvenčních imunosupresiv zahrnuta i biologika a inhibitory JAK kináz. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována terapeutické edukaci. Speciální podkapitoly jsou věnovány léčbě speciálních populací - dětem, gravidním a ve stáří.

Fully illustrated, this is the second volume in a detailed study of the German auxiliary troops who fought for Britain in the American Revolutionary War. During the American Revolutionary War (1775–83), German auxiliary troops provided a vital element of the British war effort. While the largest body of German troops was from Hessen-Cassel (see the first volume of this study), the British also fielded troops from Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, Hessen-Hanau, Waldeck and Pyrmont, Brandenburg Ansbach and Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and Anhalt-Zerbst. This volume also covers the Hanoverian soldiers involved in the sieges of Gibraltar and Menorca.Fighting on a host of battlefields from Saratoga to Yorktown, these hired soldiers provided the Crown Forces with much-needed manpower and contributed crucial combat skills in the form of the Jäger, renowned specialists in open-order warfare. Featuring eight specially commissioned artwork plates and an array of carefully chosen illustrations, many in colour, this lively study examines the organization, uniforms, weapons and equipment of these troops who fought for King George in the New World.

Johann Gottfried Herder initiated the modern disciplines of philosophical anthropology and cultural history, including the study of popular culture. He is also remembered as a sharp critic of colonialism and imperialism. But what types of social, economic and political arrangements did Herder envision for modern European societies? Herder and Enlightenment Politics provides a radically new interpretation of Herder''s political thought, situating his ideas in Enlightenment debates on modern patriotism, commerce and peace. By reconstructing Herder''s engagement with Rousseau, Montesquieu, Abbt, Ferguson, Möser, Kant and many other contemporary authors, Eva Piirimäe shows that Herder was deeply interested in the potential for cultural, moral and political reform in Russia, Germany and Europe. Herder probed the foundations of modern liberty, community and peace, developing a distinctive understanding of human self-determination, natural sociability and modern patriotism as well as advocating a vision of Europe as a commercially and culturally interconnected community of peoples.

A groundbreaking history of the wars of the Ottoman Expansion, a truly global conflagration that crisscrossed three continents and ultimately defined the borders and future of modern Europe.The determined attempt to thwart Ottoman dominance was fought across five theaters from the Balkans to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, from Persia to Russia. This intercontinental melee is expertly re-told in this fascinating new history by historian Si Sheppard.But this is not the story of a clash of civilizations between East and West as you might assume. Europe was not united against the Turks; the scandal of the age was the alliance between King Francis I of France and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Meanwhile, the resistance of the Saadi dynasty of Morocco to Ottoman encroachment played a critical role in denying Constantinople direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. By the same token, though religious imperatives were critical to the motivations of all the key actors involved, these in no way fell neatly along the Christian Muslim divide. Crescent Dawn expertly shows how the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V desired nothing more than to eradicate the Protestant heresy metastasizing throughout his domains, but the threat of Turkish invasion forced him to stay his hand and indulge his Lutheran subjects to ensure a common defense. Nevertheless, the collective effort to constrain the expansion of the Ottoman superpower did succeed with the ultimate victory in 1571 the tipping point in reordering the trajectory of history.Crescent Dawn features some of the legendary figures of the era – from Mehmet the Conqueror, and Suleiman the Magnificent on the Ottoman side, to Charles V and Vasco de Gama on the other – and some of the most exotic locales on Earth – from the sumptuous palaces of Constantinople to the bloody battlefields of the Balkans to the awe-inspiring mountains of Ethiopia. This is a colorful history that brings the great battles of the age to life and clearly shows how the western struggle against the Ottomans constituted the first truly world war.

A compelling narrative of the largest land battle of its time, and the decisive engagement of the Russo-Japanese War.Mukden stands out as the most significant battle of the Russo-Japanese War. By February 1905, the conflict had reached its culmination, as Port Arthur had fallen to the Japanese after an epic six-month siege. Now free to mass all his field armies, Japanese commander Marshal Oyama shifted his focus to the Russian forces assembled around the city of Mukden. The Russians, led by General Kuropatkin and numbering over 300,000 men, had finally achieved sufficient strength to conduct their own offensive. A Russian victory would be vital to save both deteriorating morale in the army, as well as to reassure the home front. This fascinating work documents the decisive set-piece battle between the opposing sides on the plains and hills of Manchuria. Maps, diagrams, battlescene artwork and period photos bring to life the brutal clash, the largest battle in history up to that point. Exploring the unabated fighting across a 90-mile-long front in the depths of winter, John Valitutto considers the effectiveness of each armies'' manoeuvres, the trench warfare that prefigured World War I, and the influence of machine guns and massed heavy artillery on the battle’s outcome. Mukden made it clear to all that the conduct of war was changing, with new technologies and tactics demonstrating their terrible potential to the world.

Volume VII of The Oxford Edition of the Sermons of John Donne gathers sermons preached by Donne at different venues for the related liturgical occasions of marriages, christenings, and the churching of women after childbirth. The volume contains ten sermons, seven of them undated and, in the case of the christening sermons, also for parties unknown; one of the two churching sermons survives only in an authorially revised state as two separate -- but obviously coeval -- sermons.Longfellow and McCullough establish that these sermons were preached across almost the whole of Donne''s preaching career, from among his earliest (ca. 1615-16) to 1627, four years before his death. In each case an authoritative text has been established by freshly collating multiple copies of the seventeenth-century print editions, as well as multiple manuscript copies which predate the print witnesses. For the first time, these sermons appear with full critical apparatus. The Introduction provides the first dedicated account of the place of sermons in the social, liturgical, and theological contexts of these occasions in post-Reformation England. A headnote to each sermon describes its textual state and supplies local historical, social, and intellectual context, and suggestions for further reading. Extensive commentaries document Donne''s use of sources (both acknowledged and unacknowledged), translate passages in foreign languages, and gloss important and unfamiliar words. Although largely neglected by previous scholarship, these sermons emerge here as unique (the only known sermons for churchings), challenging (for views on women and marriage more conservative than many of Donne''s contemporaries''), and as evidence of Donne''s Calvinist sacramental theology and his anti-Catholicism. They are also fine examples of Donne''s skill in crafting emotionally compelling sermons suited to the unique demands of both occasion and auditory.
