 Siberia: Worlds Apart 
 Author: Victor L. Mote Siberia: Worlds Apart Westview Press 1998 Format: pdf in rar Size: 27.76 mb Language: English Known to most as a realm of exile and labor camps, Siberia is also one of the world’s wealthiest resource bases. This harsh, vast land constitutes nearly three-quarters of Russia’s territory, yet after four centuries of Slavic migration and procreation it is home to a mere 32 million people. In this comprehensive book, Victor Mote illuminates the dichotomy between Siberia’s rich treasure house of resources and its peripheral relationship to the rest of the world. With this paradox in mind, he traces the region’s history from the Stone Age to the present, emphasizing the unique blend of wit and will developed by inhabitants to survive one of the most brutal environments in the world - a land that has been part colony, part prison, and part frontier. Mote also explores the geography, ethnography, economics, and politics of Siberia and its people, providing a multidisciplinary perspective for scholars and general readers alike interested in Eurasia’s “forgotten quarter.”
The Cambridge World History of Food (2-Volume Set)
 Author: Kenneth F. Kiple, Kriemhild Coneè Ornelas (Editors) The Cambridge World History of Food Cambridge University Press 2000 Pages: 1958 ISBN: 0521402166 Language: English Size: 25,6 mb Format: PDF Have the French always enjoyed their renowned cuisine? When did Russians begin to eat pirogi? What was the first Indonesian spice to be cultivated elsewhere in the world? Questions such as these make for good Jeopardy material, but they're far from trivial--just ask anyone with a passion for good food and a curiosity for where that food originated. That person will know instinctively that the best way to approach a culture--and, indeed, the human animal--is through the stomach. For this individual, The Cambridge World History of Food will be something of a bible, and the best of gifts. A massive scholarly tome in two volumes and more than 2,000 pages, the CWHF encompasses a wealth of learning that touches on nearly every aspect of human life. (It also reveals the answers to the three earlier questions: No, French cuisine as we know it is a 19th-century development; in the 16th century, following the conquest of the Volga Tatar; ginger, in colonial Mexico.) Thoroughly researched and highly accessible despite its formidable layout, the set addresses a groaning board of topics past and present, from the diet of prehistoric humans to the role of iron in combating disease; from the domestication of animals to the spread of once-isolated ethnic cuisines in a fast-globalizing world. Of greatest interest to general readers is its concluding section--a dictionary of the world's food plants, which gives brief accounts of items both common and exotic, from abalong to Zuttano avocado. The product of seven years of research, writing, and editing on the part of more than 200 authors, The Cambridge World History of Food promises to become a standard reference for social scientists, economists, nutritionists, and other scholars--and for cooks and diners seeking to deepen their knowledge of the materials they use and consume. --Gregory McNamee

Bliski Wschód 2011: bunt czy rewolucja?
 Author:Jerzy Zdanowski Bliski Wschód 2011: bunt czy rewolucja? Oficyna Wydawnicza Afm 2011 Format: pdf Size: 86.31 MB Language: Polish Czy rewolucję można wywołać, nie odchodząc od ekranu komputera? Teza prezentowana przez autora mówi, że nowe środki porozumiewania się były jedynie instrumentem pomocnym w wyrażaniu przez społeczeństwo sprzeciwu wobec polityki władz, a przyczyną Arabskiej Wiosny był głęboki kryzys, w jakim znalazły się społeczeństwa i gospodarki regionu. Czy na Bliskim Wschodzie doszło w ogóle w 2011 r. do rewolucji? Może to, co się stało, to tylko ostry protest społeczny, bunt społeczeństwa przeciwko władzy? Czy jesteśmy więc świadkami fundamentalnych zmian we wszystkich tych sferach? Czy rewolucje na Bliskim Wschodzie już się zakończyły, czy dopiero zaczęły?

The Dead Sea Genesis Apocryphon: A New Text and Translation with Introduction and Special Treatment of Columns 13-17
 The Dead Sea Genesis Apocryphon: A New Text and Translation with Introduction and Special Treatment of Columns 13-17 Author: Daniel A. Machiela BRILL 2009 ISBN: 9004168141 Pages: 328 Format: PDF Size: 14 mb Language: english The so-called Genesis Apocryphon (1Q20) from Qumran Cave 1 has suffered from decades of neglect, due in large part to its poor state of preservation. As part of a resurgent scholarly interest in the Apocryphon, and its prominent position among the Aramaic Dead Sea Scrolls, this volume presents a fresh transcription, translation, and exstenive textual notes drawing on close study of the original manuscript, all available photographs, and previous publications. In addition, a detailed analysis of columns 13-15 and their relation to the oft-cited parallel in the Book of Jubilees reveals a number of ways in which the two works differ, thereby highlighting several distinctive features of the Genesis Apocryphon. The result is a reliable text edition and a fuller understanding of the message conveyed by this fragmentary but fascinating retelling of Genesis.
Storia di Roma nel Medioevo: Politica, religione, società, cultura, economia e urbanistica della Città Eterna tra l'avvento di Costantino e il saccheggio di Carlo V
 Storia di Roma nel Medioevo: Politica, religione, società, cultura, economia e urbanistica della Città Eterna tra l'avvento di Costantino e il saccheggio di Carlo V Newton Compton Author: Ludovico Gatto Biblioteca de IL Messaggero 1999 (2004) Pages: 611 Format: pdf Language: Italiano Size: 52.46 MB Quality: good Storia di Roma nel Medioevo: Politica, religione, società, cultura, economia e urbanistica della Città Eterna tra l'avvento di Costantino e il saccheggio di Carlo V Milleduecentoquindici anni di storia ripercorsi in quasi seicento pagine organizzate in trenta capitoli. Questi numeri non spaventino. Il lavoro di Gatto sul Roma medievale si legge tutto d'un fiato, trasportati di peso in un periodo della città eterna spesso trascurato ingiustamente. E' l'epoca che segna l'affermazione della religione cristiana nella Roma imperiale e lo sviluppo del potere spirituale e temporale della Chiesa, che sostituirà il declinante potere dell'imperatore in Occidente. Per coprire in modo coerente questo periodo cruciale della storia dell'Urbe, la definizione di Medioevo adottata dall'autore è più ampia di quella usuale: invece di iniziare con la caduta dell'impero d'Occidente nel 476 (deposizione di Romolo Augustolo), la trattazione parte dal trionfo di Costantino a Roma (312); la fine è posta col sacco di Roma a opera di Carlo V (1527), trentacinque anni dopo la tradizionale data della scoperta dell'America (1492).
