Constantine the Emperor
ISBN: 9780199755868 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No Roman emperor had a greater impact on the modern world than did Constantine. The reason is not simply that he converted to Christianity, but that he did so in a way that brought his subjects along after him. Indeed, this major new biography argues that Constantine's conversion is but one feature of a unique administrative style that enabled him to take control of an empire beset by internal rebellions and external threats by Persians and Goths. The vast record of Constantine's administration reveals a government careful in its exercise of power but capable of ruthless, even savage,...

The Letters of Paul de Foix, French Ambassador at the Court of Elizabeth I, 1562-66
ISBN: 9781108495493 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This volume presents the surviving correspondence of the French ambassador to the court of Elizabeth I from 1562-66, Paul de Foix. Paul de Foix was an intriguing figure: a liberal Catholic reformer suspected of heresy, a scholar and patron of scholars and a trusted agent of Catherine de Medici. All this was at a time of civil war in France, war between France and England and growing tension between England and Scotland over Mary Stuart's marriage. Taken from volumes preserved at the Bibliotheque nationale in Paris and the L'Aubespine archive, which was dispersed between the 1830s and the...

Theodora: Actress, Empress, Saint
ISBN: 9780199740765 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Two of the most famous mosaics from the ancient world, in the church of San Vitale in Ravenna, depict the sixth-century emperor Justinian and, on the wall facing him, his wife, Theodora (497-548). This majestic portrait gives no inkling of Theodora's very humble beginnings or her improbable rise to fame and power. Raised in a family of circus performers near Constantinople's Hippodrome, she abandoned a successful acting career in her late teens to follow a lover whom she was legally forbidden to marry. When he left her, she was a single mother who built a new life for herself as a secret...

Raith Rovers On This Day
ISBN: 9781849211727 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this illustrated view of the history of Raith Rovers the author builds up the story of the club by recounting events that happened on every day of the year, even during the summer months.

As do Davie Morris, who captained Scotland when they beat all three Home Nations in 1925; the wizardry of Alec James; the command of the famous half back line of Young, McNaught and Leigh; and the dash and enthusiasm of the team which won the Scottish League Cup. But it is...

A Knight of Malta at the Court of Elizabeth I
ISBN: 9781107092938 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This edition fills a notable gap in our knowledge of Anglo-French relations in the early Elizabethan period. During the 1560s, the reports of French ambassadors are only preserved in fragments and it was until recently believed that nothing survived of the reports of Michel de Seure, ambassador from February 1560 to February 1562. Collected here, these shed light on the difficulties of negotiating with Elizabeth I, her preoccupations in 1560 1 and French opinions on her policy. Appendices include documents detailing de Seure's dealings with the Scottish regent, Mary of Guise, and his...

Prophets and Emperors
ISBN: 9780674437050 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 289 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. To the practical modern mind, the idea of divine prophecy is more ludicrous than sublime. Yet to our cultural forebears in ancient Greece and Rome, prophecy was anything but marginal; it was in fact the basic medium for recalling significant past events and expressing hopes for the future, and it offered assurance that divinities truly cared about mere mortals. Prophecy also served political ends, and it was often invoked to support or condemn an emperor's actions. In Prophets and Emperors, David Potter shows us how prophecy worked, how it could empower, and how the diverse...

Victor's Crown: A History of Ancient Sport from Homer to Byzantium
ISBN: 9780199842759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Victor's Crown brings to vivid life the signal role of sport in the classical world. Ranging over a dozen centuries--from Archaic Greece through to the late Roman and early Byzantine empires--David Potter's lively narrative shows how sport, to the ancients, was not just a dim reflection of religion and politics but a potent social force in its own right. The passion for sport among the participants and fans of antiquity has been matched in history only by our own time. Potter first charts the origins of competitive athletics in Greece during the eighth century BC and the...

Public concern about environmental issues has attracted interest in the subject in both the popular media and academic literature. The work of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) like Greenpeace and others in trying to change the environmental policies of governments and business organizations has received some attention, but what has been written is mostly northern-based and about northern NGOs.

ISBN: 9780745618159 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In 1760 no polity in the world was democratic in any way we would now recognize.

In Part I, the introduction to the book as a whole, an overview and elaboration is offered of the key explanatory models of democratization; this section also refines the description of a regime's...
