"Far more than a history, this brilliantly illustrated volume offers a reconstruction in human terms of the many facets of Rome's extraordinary legacy. The Romans speak to us here through their splendid achievements and their tragic failures, their monuments and their tastes, to give us an understanding of the spirit behind these dramatic events. From village to Empire, for nearly a millennium Rome kept up a dizzying pace of change and expansion. Stirring victories over Hannibal, the Gauls, the Britons alternated with peaceful intervals of cultural development under Augustus and Marcus Aurelius, until the final days of chaos and decline." "Those thousand years take shape on the pages of Professor Cunliffe's beautiful book to give us a gradually unfolding vision of a people who once lived and of a resplendent world now in ruins." "Instead of a textbook, he has virtually recreated Rome itself, a world opening up, maintaining its brief, fragile balance, and then collapsing. The whole dynamic nature of the process is evoked here by the use of historical passages alternating with concise analytical views of daily life." ""The rise and fall of a great empire," Professor Cunliffe writes, "cannot fail to fascinate us, for we can see in such a story something of our own time. But of all the empires that have come or gone, none has a more immediate appeal than the Empire of Rome. It pervades our lives today."" "The sheer vastness of the Empire was staggering. At its height, it extended across 2,600 miles east to west, and 2,000 miles north to south. But these figures mean little. Even understood as reaching from the north of Britain to Africa, and engulfing Spain, Germany, and lands as far as the Persian Gulf, Rome does not come alive until captured - as in this book - through glimpses of shops and villas, the voices of people, the echoing theaters, baths, temples, and slums." "And Professor Cunliffe provides them for the reader. Along with the history of Rome's growth and dominion, he has added a careful history of her changing political, social, and cultural institutions. But above all, the Romans themselves speak. Cicero, Seneca, and Petronius seize the flavour of the Roman experience. Marius, Pompey, and Caesar use the urban mob as a pawn in their power games. Livy pieces together the city's origins from folklore. Even the coins transmit news and instill piety, ultimately becoming devices for propaganda." "Tombstones, monuments, bawdy and political graffiti, and private letters miraculously preserved give us a wealth of human details - the voices that gave life to Rome and her Empire..." "A young soldier writes home to Egypt: "Dear mother, I hope this finds you well. When you get this letter, I will be much obliged if you will send me some money...."" "On a wooden tablet from London written by a master to his servant in Rome: "I believe you know I am very well. If you have made the list, please send. See that you turn the slave girl into cash...."" "Lucretius the Epicurean explains natural phenomena in terms of philosophical concepts; Vitruvius lays down the rules of architecture; the poets and playwrights all help enrich the fabric - and our heightened understanding - of Roman life." "In this handsome book, such materials provide readers with the eloquent testament and indestructible evidence of a city that emerged from obscurity in 500 B.C. and directed the civilized world until the birth of Constantinople in 500 A.D." "Featured among the volume's 1,000 illustrations, of which half are in full color, are superb photographs by former Life correspondent Brian Brake and by Leonard von Matt. These stunning works are augmented by additional photographs, reproductions, portraits, engravings, maps, and drawings that capture even more of the gifts that have been handed down to us by the Romans."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

INDIGO'S #1 BEST BOOK OF 2019 NATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MARROW THIEVES, THE #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER, MULTI-AWARD WINNER AND CANADA READS FINALIST "Wildly entertaining and profound and essential." --Tommy Orange, The New York Times Broken-hearted Joan has been searching for her husband, Victor, for almost a year--ever since he went missing on the night they had their first serious argument. One hung-over morning in a Walmart parking lot in a little town near Georgian Bay, she is drawn to a revival tent where the local Métis have been flocking to hear a charismatic preacher. By the time she staggers into the tent the service is over, but as she is about to leave, she hears an unmistakable voice. She turns, and there is Victor. Only he insists he is not Victor, but the Reverend Eugene Wolff, on a mission to bring his people to Jesus. And he doesn't seem to be faking: there isn't even a flicker of recognition in his eyes. With only two allies--her odd, Johnny-Cash-loving, 12-year-old nephew Zeus, and Ajean, a foul-mouthed euchre shark with deep knowledge of the old ways--Joan sets out to remind the Reverend Wolff of who he really is. If he really is Victor, his life, and the life of everyone she loves, depends upon her success. Inspired by the traditional Métis story of the Rogarou--a werewolf-like creature that haunts the roads and woods of Métis communities--Cherie Dimaline has created a propulsive, stunning and sensuous novel.

The Oxford Handbook of Virginia Woolf by Anne E. Fernald Pdf
With thirty-nine original chapters from internationally prominent scholars, The Oxford Handbook of Virginia Woolf is designed for scholars and graduate students. Feminist to the core, each chapter examines an aspect of Woolf's achievement and legacy. Each contribution offers an overview that is at once fresh and thoroughly grounded in prior scholarship. Six sections focus on Woolf's life, her texts, her experiments, her life as a professional, her contexts, and her afterlife. Opening chapters on Woolf's life address the powerful influences of family, friends, and home. The section on her works moves chronologically, emphasizing Woolf's practice of writing essays and reviews alongside her fiction. Chapters on Woolf's experimentalism pay special attention to the literariness of Woolf's writing, with opportunity to trace its distinctive watermark while 'Professions of Writing', invites readers to consider how Woolf worked in cultural fields including and extending beyond the Hogarth Press and the TLS. The 'Contexts' section moves beyond writing to depict her engagement with the natural world as well as the political, artistic, and popular culture of her time. The final section on afterlives demonstrates the many ways Woolf's reputation continues to grow, across the globe, and across media, in ideas and in artistic expression. Of particular note, chapters explore three distinct Woolfian traditions in fiction: the novel of manners, magical realism, and the feminist novel.
Maps: their untold stories by Rose Mitchell,Andrew Janes Pdf
A map is a snapshot of a place, a city, a nation or even the world at a given point in time - fascinating for what they tell us about the way our ancestors saw themselves, their neighbours and their place in the world. This magnificent collection, drawn from seven centuries of maps held in the National Archives at Kew, looks at a variety of maps, from those found in 14th Century manuscripts, through early estate maps, to sea charts, maps used in military campaigns, and maps from treaties. The text explores who the mapmakers were, the purposes for which the maps were made, and what it tells us about the politics of the time. Great images are accompanied by compelling stories. Featured is a woodcut map of 16th Century London, a map of where the bombs fell during the Second World War, and a map the first American settlers' drew when they were attempting to establish a new empire on Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina. Richly illustrated with large scale reproductions of the maps, the book also includes some of the more amusing or esoteric maps from the National Archives, such as the map of the Great Exhibition in 1851 that was presented on a lady's glove, a London Underground map in the form of a cucumber, and a Treasure Island map used to advertise National Savings. This is a fascinating and unusual journey through the world of maps and mapmakers.
The aim of this book is to explain how Britain's circumstances changed between 1846 - 1964: Britain in 1846 was by far the richest nation in the world. In 1964, Britain was, comparatively, much less rich than the USA and, though amongst the world's richest nations, was losing ground to Japan and to Western Europe. Because of her wealth and her navy, Britain in 1846 was the most powerful nation in the world. Britain in 1964 was dwarfed by the superpowers of the USA and the USSR. The British Empire of the 1840s refelcted Britain's power. By 1964 the Empire was collapsing. Only one in five men (and no women) could vote in the Britain of 1840s. By 1964 Britain was fully democratic, with all adults entitled to vote. In a period of a little over a century, these were some of the changes to which Britain had to adapt. It was a period that marked a substantial fall in Britain's comparative power and prosperity in the world.
Retention of Reserve Components and Selectees in Military Service Beyond Twelve Months by United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Military Affairs Pdf
Roman, bound by duty, has a major plan that’s sure to tip the scales all the way. But tip it in whose favour? They’re both billionaires running their global empires, which cancels out the material attraction altogether. He’s driven and headstrong, but so is she. Another stalemate. Yet when it comes to her body, Roman knows he blissfully owns it to hell and back. If it wasn’t for her overprotective father who starts snooping on Roman’s private affairs. Affaires that will devastate his daughter, not Roman. So he has to stop the father. Roman: I’m about to hurt her. Badly. I move closest and breathe her name. Softly cup her cheek in my palm, gentling her, readying her for the pain. Her lips, made for my kisses, get the pad of my thumb, tenderly, and her fingers fold around my wrist. Her other palm softly flattens on my chest, my lethal Huskies lock with my blues. She knows, oh fuck, she knows I'll hurt her, but remains silent, torching me with her gaze. But I’d rather kill our love than be with my empress bound in the chains of a dead man. Shana: From his touch on my skin, his gaze at me, the love pulsing off his pores, I know he has something horrible in store for me. Despite, or perhaps because of, the lust burning in his eyes for me. Each yearning blink tautens the tension as we stand facing each other, breathing each other’s air, our bliss threatened by lurking darkness. The man I’d wanted all my life, the man who restored my womanhood, becomes my executioner. Publisher Note: This book contains adult sexual material suitable for adults only.
