Once upon a time there lived a little princess named Cleopatra. She lived long long ago in Egypt, a far-off land in Africa. Cleopatra grew up to become the last and most famous queen of Egypt."... Cleopatra, girls don't go to school. Girls learn how to dance and put on make-up," barked Podenco, the king's other greyhound."Both of you are wrong! I will go to the museum and learn about literature, medicine, the arts, science, languages, and philosophy from the best teachers in the world!" exclaimed the excited Cleopatra.

How do international students and alumni contribute to development in their countries of origin? Is the development effect greatest when students return to their countries of origin directly after completing their studies and become involved locally there, or can they also support the development of their country of origin if they remain abroad after their studies and contribute their knowledge and capital to the development process of their country of origin via transnational networks? Specifically, this question is examined in this publication using the example of the scholarship and alumni work of the Catholic Academic Alien Service (KAAD) in five countries of different developing regions: Georgia, Ghana, Indonesia, Colombia and Palestine.

Marcus Furius Camillus is the dominant figure in our traditional history of the Roman Republic in the early fourth century. He has been featured in histories of Rome since the Renaissance, but currently is viewed with great scepticism, some even questioning his very existence. What is notably absent, however, is any reference to a system of historical method: how one distinguishes fact from fiction. This is the first modern monograph on Camillus, and it grapples head-on with this problem. The results are unexpected.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,0, Universität Mannheim (Historisches Institut), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In seiner Augustus-Vita berichtet der römische Schriftsteller Sueton über die sogenannten "befreundeten und verbündeten Könige" (reges amicii atque socii) des Römischen Reiches. Dabei zählt er einige wichtige Charakteristika auf, welche einen typischen befreundeten König ausmachen: den Bau sogenannter "urbes caesarea", die Tätigkeit als "euergetes", die Verehrung des Augustus und Reisen nach Rom. Sueton vergleicht die verbündeten Könige mit Klienten, indem er sich dem innerrömischen Klientelkonzept metaphorisch bedient.Die moderne Forschung hat sich diese Metapher zu eigen gemacht, um das von Ungleichheit und Abhängigkeit geprägte Verhältnis zwischen den Klientelkönigen auf der einen und Rom auf der anderen Seite zu beschreiben. Zeitlich beschränkt sich die vorliegende Arbeit auf die späte Republik und das frühe Prinzipat, die Zeitspanne also, in die auch Herodes¿ Herrschaft fällt. In dieser von Umwälzungen und Unsicherheiten geprägten Periode befand sich das politische Konstrukt des Klientelkönigtums in einer Art Hochphase. Spätestens ab der Herrschaft der Flavierdynastie (69¿96 n. Chr.) befand sich das Klientelkönigtum auf dem absteigenden Ast und verlor nach und nach seine Relevanz, indem direkte Herrschaft indirekte Herrschaftsformen ersetzte.Geographisch beschränkt sich die Arbeit auf den Osten des Römischen Reiches, da das politische Konstrukt des römischen Klientelkönigtums hier seine Anwendung fand. Herodes¿ Reich lag im Spannungsfeld zwischen Hellenismus, Romanisierung und Judentum. Im Osten hatte man mit dem Partherreich eine Weltmacht als direkten Nachbarn. Knapp 40 Jahre lang regierte Herodes sein Reich zwar nicht geräuschlos, aber dafür umso effizienter. Was Herodes von anderen Klientelkönigen unterscheidet, ist die gute Quellenlage zu seiner Person und seiner Regentschaft. Dies ist in allererster Linie dem jüdisch-römischen Geschichtsschreiber Flavius Josephus, der in seinen beiden Hauptwerken "Der Jüdische Krieg" und "Jüdische Altertümer" ausführlich über ihn berichtet. Die Klientelkönige sollen durchaus als eigenständig handelnde Herrscher, mit einem begrenzten Spielraum betrachtet werden. Diesen Spielraum galt es in sich wandelnden Zeiten und dem aufkommenden Prinzipat auszuloten, was einigen Klientelkönigen besser gelang als anderen, aber alle vor Herausforderungen stellte.

"The South Pole discovered" trumpeted the front page of The Daily Chronicle on March 8, 1912, marking Roald Amundsen's triumph over the tragic Robert Scott. Yet behind all the headlines there was a much bigger story. Antarctica was awash with expeditions. In 1912, five separate teams representing the old and new world were diligently embarking on scientific exploration beyond the edge of the known planet. Their discoveries not only enthralled the world, but changed our understanding of the planet forever. Tales of endurance, self–sacrifice, and technological innovation laid the foundations for modern scientific exploration, and inspired future generations.To celebrate the centenary of this groundbreaking work, 1912: The Year the World Discovered Antarctica revisits the exploits of these different expeditions. Looking beyond the personalities and drawing on his own polar experience, Chris Turney shows how their discoveries marked the dawn of a new age in our understanding of the natural world. He makes use of original and exclusive unpublished archival material and weaves in the latest scientific findings to show how we might reawaken the public's passion for discovery and exploration

But every place has some dark shadows that hide the ghosts and haunts from the past. The Cape Fear Coast has more than its share of scary legends and entertaining shivering tales. Wilmington is host to many haunted houses, as well as shops and stores where ghosts walk, or float, with unconcerned indifference to how the living see them. In Haunting The Cape Fear Coast, you can read about the jealous ghost of Ellen Bellamy who throws a temper tantrum when all the fun starts in her house.

Wilmington is not alone in its haunts. Ghosts abound on the outer islands and towns. Fort Fisher is haunted by its bloody past, while Southport is home to a more content spirit who plays music for his unsuspecting fans.

So when the day cools and the sun sets along the shimmering Atlantic Ocean, be on the lookout for these ghosts and more to come out of the shadows and have their time to frolic or scream. Enjoy all these stories and more in Haunting The Cape Fear Coast.

This volume examines the rhetorical development that occurred over the first two terms of Vladimir Putin's tenure as president of Russia. During that time Putin abandoned any effort at integration with the West, turning toward Eurasia and promoting a mythical image of Russia as a singular geopolitical entity spanning one thousand years.

This compelling book describes how everyday people courageously survived under repressive Communist regimes until the voices and actions of rebellious individuals resulted in the fall of the Iron Curtain in Europe.Part of Greenwood's Daily Life through History series, Daily Life behind the Iron Curtain enables today's generations to understand what it was like for those living in Eastern Europe during the Cold War, particularly the period from 1961 to 1989, the era during which these people-East Germans in particular-lived in the imposing shadow of the Berlin Wall.An introductory chapter discusses the Russian Revolution, the end of World War II, and the establishment of the Socialist state, clarifying the reasons for the construction of the Berlin Wall. Many historical anecdotes bring these past experiences to life, covering all aspects of life behind the Iron Curtain, including separation of families and the effects on family life, diet, rationing, media, clothing and trends, strict travel restrictions, defection attempts, and the evolving political climate. The final chapter describes Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin wall and the slow assimilation of East into West, and examines Europe after Communism.

This book combines the fundamentals of industrial organization theories based on microeconomic foundations, applied econometrics and environmental and natural resource economics in undertaking a comprehensive review of reforms of the power sector and its impact on industrial and socio-economic performance. The book provides the reader with the intellectual groundwork necessary for understanding the workings and interactions of today's reforming power markets such as in the ASEAN and East Asia that are striving to achieve the energy policy trilemma of affordability, energy sustainability and energy security. The topics addressed in this book include application of welfare theorems such as competition in and for the market in the electricity sector, market failures such as lack of electricity access, analysis of forecasting models under volatility, energy resource allocation such as renewable energy and competitive market designs of energy markets. Country-specific and region-specific case studies are used to analyze the progress and outcomes of market-driven electricity reforms across the reforming and advanced electricity markets. Therefore, the book derives policy lessons and provides policy recommendations in reforming power markets for the ASEAN and East Asia taking stock of more than three decades of global experience with power sector reforms. The electricity markets case studies are carefully chosen and supported by extensive data analyses as appropriate. This book on energy economics and policy is highly recommended to readers who seek an in-depth and up-to-date integrated overview about the evolving literature and status on electricity market reforms with a particular reference to Asia.

"The volume puts into the spotlight overlaps and points of intersection between Plutarch and other writers of the imperial period. It contains twenty-eight contributions which adopt a comparative approach and put into sharper relief ongoing debates and shared concerns, revealing a complex topography of rearrangements and transfigurations of inherited topics, motifs, and ideas. Reading Plutarch alongside his contemporaries brings out distinctive features of his thought and uncovers peculiarities in his use of literary and rhetorical strategies, imagery, and philosophical concepts, thereby contributing to a better understanding of the empire's culture in general, and Plutarch in particular. Contributors are: Colin Bailey Krystyna Bartol, Jeff Beneker, Laura Bottenberg, Andrea Catanzaro, Serena Citro, Maria Elena De Luna, Chiara Di Serio, Eva Falaschi, Martina Gatto, Anna Ginesti Rosell, Tomohiko Kondo, Dawn La Valle, Delfim Leao, Michiel Meeusen, Wim Nijs, Thierry Oppeneer, Pace Giovanna, Francesco Padovani, Katarzyna Pietruczuk, Geert Roskam, Richard Stoneman, Iris Sulimani, Theofanis Tsiampokalos, Laurens van der Wiel, Daniele Morrone, Fabio Tanga, Paola Volpe Cacciatore"--

"At the height of the Great Terror in 1937, Joseph Stalin took a break from the purges to edit a new textbook on the history of the U.S.S.R. Published shortly thereafter, the Short History of the U.S.S.R amounted to an ideological sea change. Stalin had literally rewritten Russo-Soviet History, breaking with two decades of Bolshevik propaganda that styled the 1917 Revolution as the start of a new era. In its place, he established a thousand-year pedigree for the Soviet state that stretched back through the Russian empire and Muscovy to the very dawn of Slavic civilization. Appearing in million-copy print runs through 1955, the Short History transformed how a generation of Soviet citizens were to understand the past, not only in public school and adult indoctrination courses, but on the printed page, the theatrical stage, and the silver screen. Stalin's Usable Past supplies a critical edition of the Short History that both analyzes the text and places it in historical context. By highlighting Stalin's precise redactions and embellishments, historian David Brandenberger reveals the scope of Stalin's personal involvement in the textbook's development, documenting in unprecedented detail his plans for the transformation of Soviet society's historical imagination"--

A history of two centuries of interactions among the areas bordering the western Indian Ocean, including India, Iran, and Africa.

Prohibition is recognized as the most unpopular law in US history. It was so unpopular at the time that some Floridians weren't all too keen on obeying it. Learn how it was instigated by small town Protestants who believed that newer immigrants living in big cities were immoral because of their emphatic use of alcohol. Prohibition bred corruption, defiance of the law, and hypocrisy as illegal bootlegging, moonshining and rum running replaced legitimate taxpaying industries. Florida actually voted state-wide Prohibition into law before the dreaded 18th amendment and was the only state to elect a governor from the Prohibition Party. Florida's Bill McCoy "The Real McCoy" founded Rum Row and became an international celebrity as he made a mockery of the U.S. Coast Guard's inability to squelch his innovative rum running operations. Al Capone, the infamous gangster, vacationed in Florida while his henchmen perpetrated the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Many virtually unknown stories of tragic killings in Florida during Prohibition are also recounted.
