 I papi: storia e segreti. Dalle biografie dei 264 romani pontefici rivivono retroscena e misteri della cattedra di Pietro tra antipapi, giubilei, conclavi e concili ecumenici. Vol.1-2 Newton & Compton Author: Claudio Rendina Biblioteca de IL Messaggero 2004 (1983) Language: Italiano Pages: 467 - 417 Format: Pdf Size: 68.37 mb Quality: good I papi: storia e segreti. Dalle biografie dei 264 romani pontefici rivivono retroscena e misteri della cattedra di Pietro tra antipapi, giubilei, conclavi e concili ecumenici. Vol.1-2 Attraverso le biografie dei 264 romani pontefici da S. Pietro a Giovanni Paolo II, viene presentato in questo volume lo sviluppo di quel «potere» emblematico che è il papato, nel suo doppio volto, temporale e spirituale: un modo di guardare al «vicario di Cristo» anche nel suo aspetto umano, accantonando in parte l'insegnamento ex cathedra e ridimensionando il mito del personaggio.
The Gentlemen's Clubs of London
 Author: Anthony LeJeune & Malcolm Lewis The Gentlemen's Clubs of London Bracken Book 1984 Format: PDF Size: 85.2 Mb Language: English Anthony Lejeune's "Gentlemen's Clubs of London" is simply the definitive guide to the subject matter. Lejeune provides wonderful capsule histories of each of the clubs, including notable members and personages associated with each club. His well-written text, photo-captions, and "informational text boxes" (which inject just the right amount of wit and humor) are impeccably factually correct (or at least were at publication time) and never dull. The photographs succeed in capturing many of the important architectural and interior features of each club. The detailed photos of wax seals and one-of-a-kind club treasures and mementos are particularly enjoyable. London's gentlemen's clubs, like most social organizations and institutions, have an ebb and flow of popularity and character, but fortunately not too much so. Lejeune has a wonderful ability to successfully convey the general character of each club. A separate chapter is devoted to each club, making this a wonderful coffee-table-sized book that one can dip into at random.

Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History ( 5 volume set)
 Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History Berkshire Publishing Group Author: William H. McNeill, Jerry Bentley and David Christian 2005 Pages: 2220 Format: PDF Size: 118 mb Language: English Grade 10 Up–Although the 538 articles in this set are arranged alphabetically, the approach is thematic, with entries and sidebars "showing connections and interactions, through trade, warfare, migration, religion, and diplomacy over time and place." Volume one opens with an overview of human history that serves as a guide to the Encyclopedia, and alphabetic and thematic lists of the entries appear in each book. Much prehistory is treated in this work, which bills itself as covering "250,000 years of human existence." However, readers may wonder why some subjects were included, or even given their own entry, and others weren't. For example, there is no entry for the Peloponnesian Wars, but the extensive index will lead students to information under entries for "Greece, Ancient," "International Organizations," "Oral History," "Thucydides," "Warfare, Naval," and "Engines of History." This last is an example of the somewhat obscure and/or unusual headings that sometimes appear. An up-to-date bibliography follows every article. The black-and-white photos are of uneven quality; many lack sufficient contrast. The maps included are insufficient to clarify the discussions of empires, countries, wars, and movements of peoples. This set would be useful as a supplement to general encyclopedias
Images of Terror: What We Can and Can't Know About Terrorism
 Images of Terror: What We Can and Can't Know About Terrorism Author: Philip Jenkins Aldine de Gruyter ISBN: 0202306798, 020230678X 2003 Pages: 227 Language: English Format: PDF Size: 23 Мb As in the study of any social problem, to understand terrorism we must understand how certain interest groups and bureaucratic agencies present their particular views of terrorist phenomena, and how they strive and try to establish these as the ones that come to be accepted as obviously correct. We also need to consider their audiences. Why do the media accept or reject certain views of terrorism? Why does the public accept one kind of rhetorical presentation rather than another? How aYe popular attitudes shaped and reshaped by the images and stereotypes offered in the mass media, and in popular culture? When we appreciate the processes involved in making news about terrorism, we are better able to sift critically the claims that are made, and to evaluate policies. Images of Terror provides a critical guide to the images of terrorism that we see daily in the mass media. All too often, scholars and journalists accept uncritically the interpretations of terrorism they receive from governments and official agencies. Our perceptions of terrorism are formed by the interaction of bureaucratic agencies, academics and private experts, and the mass media. Yet the images and stereotypes offered do not necessarily reflect objective reality. Jenkins argues that terrorism, like most other problems, is socially constructed. He does not suggest that terrorism is not a real problem, an authentic menace, or that society should not respond promptly and effectively to terrorist threats. But rather than being something understood in the same way by people in different societies and different eras, the concept of terrorism is shaped by social and political processes, by bureaucratic needs and media structures. This process of construction applies both to the overall concept, and to specific movements, to groups and their actions. For the foreseeable future, terrorism is likely to remain a dominant issue in the political life of the United States, and indeed of much of the world. This book raises important questions about how we form our notions of the enemy to be confronted, and how, when we make statements about terrorism, we know what we think we know.
