In the first major work written about Attila in decades, Nick Holmes rewrites the story of Attila and Rome. Contrary to his brutal legend, Attila was a complex and captivating personality. A great warlord who despised ostentation, admired bravery and valued loyalty.He led his steppe nomads further west than Genghis Khan or Tamerlane. He nearly destroyed the Roman Empire. But his vast ambition undid him. This book is a must read for those interested in Rome, the Huns and military history. This is the third volume in Nick Holmes' series on The Fall of the Roman Empire. The first volume, The Roman Revolution, covers the 'crisis of the third century' when classical Rome nearly fell to invading barbarians but was reinvented as a Christian empire. The second volume, The Fall of Rome, covers the period from Constantine to the sack of Rome by the Goths in AD 410. Further volumes will tell the full story of Rome's fall, from its revival under the emperor Justinian to the rise of Islam, the beginnings of Byzantium and the dawn of the Middle Ages.

Author Joe Patrina unpacks primate/alien genetics in this three-volume compendium.Volume I - Research ... fresh views of ancient writings, seeing them as "sincere accounts" of what was witnessed during the 4,000 B.C. to 1,000 B.C. expanse of the new Homo Sapient race.Volume II - e Primate & Alien Series ... re-enactments of humankind's primate/alien co-existence - covering Sumerian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, Greek and American episodes.Volume III - Genetics Drives Political Preference ... one's genetic pull is either more Primate or more Alien. This pull alone determines a preference for socialism versus libertarianism, logic superfluous.

The ancient Romans were responsible for many remarkable achievements—Roman numerals, straight roads—but one of their lesser-known contributions was the creation of the tourist industry. The first people in history to enjoy safe and easy travel, Romans embarked on the original Grand Tour, journeying from the lost city of Troy to the Acropolis, from the Colossus at Rhodes to Egypt, for the obligatory Nile cruise to the very edge of the empire. And, as Tony Perrottet discovers, the popularity of this route has only increased with time.Intrigued by the possibility of re-creating the tour, Perrottet, accompanied by his pregnant girlfriend, sets off to discover life as an ancient Roman. The result is this lively blend of fascinating historical anecdotes and hilarious personal encounters, interspersed with irreverent and often eerily prescient quotes from the ancients—a vivid portrait of the Roman Empire in all its complexity and wonder.

The book provides a comprehensive legal assessment of four different types of safe pathways to protection in the EU: the asylum visa, resettlement, ad hoc humanitarian admission and sponsorship programs. It investigates the effects these pathways can have on the asylum paradox, that is the paradoxical interplay in current EU asylum policy between the granting of territorial protection on the one hand and the prevention of access to territory on the other.Based on the assumption, that the asylum paradox is the result of a conflict of responsibility principles, the book develops an analytical tool, a responsibility framework, for the analysis and assessment. Overall, the book identifies normative differences, depending on the specific pathway and its details of implementation.

Kedeshah was an ancient word used in the in the Hebrew Bible referring to a sacred prostitute, which is Mary Magdalene. Carpenter refers to Jesus Christ.Mary Magdalene doesn't mind her life as a Kedeshah; a high-class sex worker. But she yearns for something more. Through a charismatic yet substance abusive regular client by the name of Jesus of Nazareth, she believes the key to a new life lies in a partnership of theatrics with this lost soul. Using hired help and skills learned from an alchemist doctor, Mary invents a Messiah of mystery, a savoir who can perform miracles, and more importantly; an emissary to tell the disillusioned people of Roman controlled Judea what they want to hear. All for a small price.When jealous religious rivals, ex-lovers, concerned High Priests and bull-headed kings realize the growing influence of this remarkable one they call Jesus Christ, Mary battles the ballooning ego of Jesus of Nazareth and those who seek to have him disposed of. She must keep her masterpiece alive just long enough to take all she's earned and abscond to a quieter, simpler life.The Kedeshah and the Carpenter is the story of Jesus Christ with dark and inventive twists, using actual quotes and events from the Bible that are skewered to show a much different telling than the one most people are familiar with.

Very rarely, the author-compiler of a collection of poems performs a miracle. It seems to the reader that the poems not only follow each other naturally, forming sections, but that the sections form a unified whole. The result is something like a symphony in music. There are separate parts, but none of them sounds as powerful as the whole that they form. The poems not only do not interfere with each other, they help each other, echo each other, complement each other. And this wonder is a book. A book of poems. Marina Eskina has created such a miracle.¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ - ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ - ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿.

Between 1532 and 1536/37, the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck traveled to Rome. Most of the drawings created there were made by van Heemskerck in a sketchbook that he filled with motifs as he wandered through the city, and whose original binding has been lost. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, researchers at the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett have now largely reconstructed the original sequence of the book's pages. This forms the basis of the present facsimile. In his fascinating studies, van Heemskerck captured the ancient sculptures, ruins, and Roman cityscapes. His sketches display a refined eye for composition and perspective as well as an extraordinary sensibility of drawing. In the sketchbook, the artist developed a space for individual experimentation, as well as a valuable trove of motifs from which he would draw throughout his life. MAARTEN VAN HEEMSKERCK (1498-1574) was one of the most famous Dutch painters of the sixteenth century. Today he is best known for his magnificent Roman drawings.

Aus Anlaß des 80. Geburtstags von Johannes Koder (*1942) bringen Freunde, Wegbegleiter, Schüler und Kollegen diese Festschrift dar, deren Beiträge sich inhaltlich auf jene Forschungsinteressen des Jubilars beziehen, die er als Professor für Byzantinistik an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (1978-1985) und ordentlicher Professor der Byzantinistik an der Universität Wien (1985-2010) stets mit großem Eifer, Enthusiasmus und Originalität in Lehre und Forschung vertreten hat. Dazu zählen im wesentlichen Aspekte der historischen Geographie, Wirtschaftsgeschichte, Archäologie, Gräzistik und Philologie sowie Hymnologie des Byzantinischen Reiches, womit er die Beitragenden aus dem In- und Ausland während seiner aktiven Laufbahn auf verschiedene Art und Weise inspirierte.Aus diesem Grunde finden sich in diesem Band archäologische, toponomastische, historische, philologische, historisch-geographische und kunsthistorische Themen. Vom wachen schöpferischen Geist Johannes Koders zeugt auch seine Beschäftigung mit vermeintlichen "Randthemen" der Byzantinistik und Balkanforschung, wie zum Beispiel dem Kordax - dem "Tanz der Slawen", der für die Festschrift namensgebend ist.

In this provocative new book, Lucy Ash reveals how, under Putin, religion is being stripped of its spiritual content and used as a weapon to control the population in a way never seen before. Orthodox clerics and their acolytes are trying to drag Russia backwards into a new Middle Ages.Combining historical research with vivid present-day reportage, The Baton and the Cross explores the impact the Church is having on millions of Russians' lives - from the tower blocks of Moscow and the big cities to far-flung villages in Siberia. Delving into the underbelly of politics, state security and big money, Ash shows how these forces have formed an unholy alliance with Orthodoxy.

The book provides a global perspective on the history of Jewish law during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, focusing on the codification works of R. Joseph Karo.
