The Mongol Empire was founded by Chinggis Khan in the early thirteenth century. Within the span of two generations it embraced most of Asia, thus becoming the largest land-based state in history. The united empire lasted only until around 1260, but the major successor states continued for many generations, in the Middle East, present-day Russia, Central Asia and China. It left a lasting impact on these areas and their peoples, which was often far from negative The papers in this volume offer fresh perspectives on the Mongol Empire, its rule in the eastern Islamic world, Central Asia and...

An elderly man is drinking coffee in a Venice cafe when he recognises a woman passing by. He remembers meeting her in Paris over 200 years ago. She hasn't changed but he has aged since then. His next birthday will be his 424th. How is the man related to the war between Atlantis and Athens, 11,000 years ago?

Religious belief is rooted in and sustained by material practice, and this book provides an extraordinary insight into how it works on the ground.

Philip Caldrock is recently retired. He sees an old film starring Cadaver Wincepole, gentleman detective and decides to set up as an investigator, assisted by his wife, Heather. They are joined by Clarissa, a genius receptionist who drops tea cups incessantly. The anticipated master criminal also appears. This is a collection of the first cases in Philip's new career.

Jednou z nich je také tato, v níž, jak už napovídá název, vyprávějí Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones a Michael Palin svými slovy o tom, jak...

David Morgan builds on his previous groundbreaking work to offer this new, systematically integrated theory of the study of religion as visual culture. Providing key tools for scholars across disciplines studying the materiality of religions, Morgan gives an accessibly written theoretical overview including case studies of the ways seeing is related to touching, hearing, feeling, and such ephemeral experiences as dreams, imagination, and visions. The case studies explore both the high and low of religious visual culture: Catholic traditions of the erotic Sacred Heart of Jesus, the...
