Book Synopsis Besieger of Cities by : Alfred L. Duggan
Download or read book Besieger of Cities written by Alfred L. Duggan and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demetrius, named “Besieger of Cities,” was the first man to be worshipped as a god during his lifetime by the people of Athens. He passed his life in fighting strenuously to restore the great empire of Alexander which his father had helped to found. In this brilliant panorama of political maneuverings and exciting warfare, Alfred Duggan reveals all sides of a fascinating man whose career was at the center of a turbulent period of world history. “Alfred Duggan’s great gift was his Dickensian ability to create characters who are both believable and likeable. Demetrius has the good humor of Mr. Pickwick and the unfounded hopefulness of Mr. Micawber; it seems only proper that the Besieger’s adventures end in comfortable house arrest rather than a violent death. Nice guys may finish last, but at least they don’t always end up as mincemeat.”—David Maclaine, Historical Fiction “It shines...A first-rate recreation.”—Kirkus Review
Book Synopsis Political Theory and Architecture by : Duncan Bell
Download or read book Political Theory and Architecture written by Duncan Bell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can political theory teach us about architecture, and what can it learn from paying closer attention to architecture? The essays assembled in this volume begin from a common postulate: that architecture is not merely a backdrop to political life but a political force in its own right. Each in their own way, they aim to give countenance to that claim, and to show how our thinking about politics can be enriched by reflecting on the built environment. The collection advances four lines of inquiry, probing the connection between architecture and political regimes; examining how architecture can be constitutive of the ethical and political realm; uncovering how architecture is enmeshed in logics of governmentality and in the political economy of the city; and asking to what extent we can think of architecture-tributary as it is to the flows of capital-as a partially autonomous social force. Taken together, the essays demonstrate the salience of a range of political theoretical approaches for the analysis of architecture, and show that architecture deserves a place as an object of study in political theory, alongside institutions, laws, norms, practices, imaginaries, and discourses.

Book Synopsis In the Land of a Thousand Gods by : Christian Marek
Download or read book In the Land of a Thousand Gods written by Christian Marek and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A monumental history of Asia Minor from the Stone Age to the Roman Empire In this critically acclaimed book, Christian Marek masterfully provides the first comprehensive history of Asia Minor from prehistory to the Roman imperial period. Blending rich narrative with in-depth analyses, In the Land of a Thousand Gods shows Asia Minor’s shifting orientation between East and West and its role as both a melting pot of nations and a bridge for cultural transmission. Marek employs ancient sources to illuminate civic institutions, urban and rural society, agriculture, trade and money, the influential Greek writers of the Second Sophistic, the notoriously bloody exhibitions of the gladiatorial arena, and more. He draws on the latest research—in fields ranging from demography and economics to architecture and religion—to describe how Asia Minor became a center of culture and wealth in the Roman Empire. A breathtaking work of scholarship, In the Land of a Thousand Gods will become the standard reference book on the subject in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alciphron was a second century AD writer of highly literary and stylistic letters, owing much to the New Comedy of Menander, while providing a fascinating window into the social life of Athens after the reign of Alexander. The letters represent some of the most important and appealing compositions of the Second Sophistic period. They comprise a wide variety of circumstances, detailing the colourful lives of parasites, courtesans, fishermen and farmers; the theme of erotic love is never far.
