Il Dio che non ha fallito - Come la religione ha costruito e sostenuto l'Occidente | Robert Royal usato Religione Storia della Religione

Il Dio che non ha fallito - Come la religione ha costruito e sostenuto l'Occidente | Robert Royal usato Religione Storia della Religione

L'autore offre una rilettura della religione nell'antica Grecia, nell'impero romano, nell'antico Israele, nell'Europa medievale, nel Rinascimento, nella riforma protestante, nell'Illuminismo, fino ad arrivare all'attuale epoca moderna. Al termine della sua analisi Royal conclude che la religione non è solo una componente della storia e della cultura dell'Occidente, ma un tratto permanente della natura umana. Invece di negare l'impulso religioso nella società, il nostro obiettivo dovrebbe essere quello di promuovere una migliore comprensione dell'interazione dinamica tra fede, ragione e libertà moderne.

Debrett's Guide to Heraldry and Regalia | David Williamson usato Manualistica Collezionismo

Debrett's Guide to Heraldry and Regalia | David Williamson usato Manualistica Collezionismo

From the late twelfth century kings and noblemen began to devise emblems to display on their shields and later on the surcoats they wore over their armour - hence 'coat of arms' - in order to recognise each other and their followers. The complex system of rules that has evolved around the use of heraldic charges is explained in fascinating detail with illustrations showing how the designs have developed. English, Scottish and European heraldry is covered and there is a chapter devoted to the central role played by the College of Arms and its heralds and the Court of Chivalry.The history of English regalia and the coronation ceremony are central to the second part of the book, which also looks at civic regalia and regalia worldwide. A detailed list of the existing royal regalia in England and Scotland is included as well as a chronological list of English coronations, their dates, locations and officiating prelates. There is also a summary of existing royal regalia throughout the world, which notes those that are on public display.

Zillij - The art of moroccan ceramics | John Hedgecoe, Salmá Samar Damlūjī usato Arte Antiquariato

Zillij - The art of moroccan ceramics | John Hedgecoe, Salmá Samar Damlūjī usato Arte Antiquariato

Zillij: The Art of Moroccan Ceramics represents an outstanding photographic record of Moroccan ceramics and cut tiles, with written contributions from leading art historians and architects specialising in these fields. Photographer John Hedgecoe and the editor Salma Samar Damluji were given unprecedented access to Morocco's finest buildings, including Royal Palaces, and to private and state museum collections. Through the auspices of the Ministry of Culture in Morocco, a unique book on one of the world's great forms of art has been created. It was through the art of zillij, intricate cut-tile patterns, that Moroccan craftsmen achieved their most sophisticated expression of precision, spatial geometry and aesthetics. This book is a careful study of the achievements of those craftsmen in the art of zillij. It is also, as importantly, an investigation into the relationship of zillij designs to ceramics, which present the designs or a new scale and with a new function. Zillij: The Art of Moroccan Ceramics is essential to the library of all those interested, either professionally or otherwise, in architecture, design ceramics, Islamic and decorative arts.

Rites of Power - Symbolism, Ritual, and Politics Since the Middle Ages | Sean Wilentz usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Rites of Power - Symbolism, Ritual, and Politics Since the Middle Ages | Sean Wilentz usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Rites of Power provides a sweeping overview of the symbolism of power from tenth-century France to modern Britain. Approaching their topic from an eclectic range of intellectual traditions, the authors turn the study of politics, social relations, and cultural creation into a single endeavor.The essays begin with three assumptions: that all societies are ordered and governed by "master fictions" (divine right, equality for all) which make political hierarchy appear natural; that political rhetoric includes nonverbal communication (royal portraits, statistics on crop yields); and that common rhetoric can mean different things to various segments of a culture ("states' rights" during the American Civil War).Societies studied include France and Spain in the Middle Ages, post-Revolutionary France, the modern British monarchy, tsarist Russia, colonial Virginia, and industrial Germany. The essays were selected to provide methodological as well as historical coverage; the result is a comprehensive treatment along the cutting edge of several disciplines. This book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, and art history.

L'odissea di Elizabeth Marsh - Sogni e avventure di una viaggiatrice instancabile | Linda Colley usato Storia Biografie Diari e Memorie

L'odissea di Elizabeth Marsh - Sogni e avventure di una viaggiatrice instancabile | Linda Colley usato Storia Biografie Diari e Memorie

Un mondo in una vita. Questa è la storia della singolare esistenza di Elizabeth Marsh, una donna di umili origini che nella seconda metà del Settecento visse da protagonista la trasformazione del nostro vasto mondo e l'espansione commerciale del tentacolare Impero britannico. Una donna che accumulò fortune enormi, le perse tutte e tornò ad arricchirsi di nuovo. Che conobbe uomini di ogni genere e che viaggiò attraverso quattro continenti in cerca di avventura per terra e per mare. Concepita in Giamaica da un costruttore navale inglese e da una splendida mulatta indigena, Elizabeth nasce nel 1735 a Portsmouth, sede della Royal Navy britannica e vero fulcro dell'Impero marittimo di Sua Maestà. Cresciuta in un ambiente cosmopolita e stimolante, viaggia con i genitori nel Mediterraneo e nell'Atlantico e grazie alla sua singolare bellezza diviene una donna molto corteggiata. Promessa in sposa per calcolo politico a un brillante rampollo inglese, la giovane parte da sola alla volta dell'Inghilterra per raggiungerlo. A questo punto la Storia entra violentemente nella sua vita, e la sua esistenza comune si trasforma in un'esperienza fuori dall'ordinario. Un manipolo di pirati maghrebini intercetta la sua nave allargo del Portogallo e la rapisce per consegnarla al potente sultano del Marocco Sidi Muhammad. È solo l'inizio. Da allora, la storia della sua vita si intreccerà inevitabilmente con le vicende della Storia globale.

To crown the waves - The great navies of the First World War | Vincent P. O'Hara, W. David Dickson, Richard Worth usato Storia Guerre mondiali

To crown the waves - The great navies of the First World War | Vincent P. O'Hara, W. David Dickson, Richard Worth usato Storia Guerre mondiali

The only comparative analysis available of the great navies of World War I, this work studies the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, the German Kaiserliche Marine, the United States Navy, the French Marine Nationale, the Italian Regia Marina, the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine, and the Imperial Russian Navy to demonstrate why the war was won, not in the trenches, but upon the waves. It explains why these seven fleets fought the way they did and why the war at sea did not develop as the admiralties and politicians of 1914 expected. After discussing each navy's goals and circumstances and how their individual characteristics impacted the way they fought, the authors deliver a side-by-side analysis of the conflict's fleets, with each chapter covering a single navy. Parallel chapter structures assure consistent coverage of each fleet--history, training, organization, doctrine, materiel, and operations--and allow readers to easily compare information among the various navies. The book clearly demonstrates how the naval war was a collision of 19th century concepts with 20th century weapons that fostered unprecedented development within each navy and sparked the evolution of the submarine and aircraft carrier. The work is free from the national bias that infects so many other books on World War I navies. As they pioneer new ways of viewing the conflict, the authors provide insights and material that would otherwise require a massive library and mastery of multiple languages. Such a study has special relevance today as 20th-century navies struggle to adapt to 21st-century technologies.
