Book Synopsis 100 Facts About Best Unesco World Heritage Sites by : Science-Based Language Learning Lab
Download or read book 100 Facts About Best Unesco World Heritage Sites written by Science-Based Language Learning Lab and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series Welcome to an innovative approach to language learning! This series of books is crafted to help you master a new language (Italian) through engaging with topics that captivate your interest (Best Unesco World Heritage Sites). Each book is centered around a theme–whether it's art, science, history, or another subject–and presents 100 carefully selected facts, each a gem of knowledge in both English and the target language. Here's how our unique format works: each fact is introduced in the target language where you do your best to interpret the fact. On the next page, the fact is shown in English, and then repeated in the target language where you can start making sense of any unfamiliar terms. This method is not only repetitive to aid memorization but also concise, ensuring that learning is streamlined with no excess verbiage. The second half of the book presents the content in English, then in the target language, and finally in English again, giving you the chance to translate in both directions and demonstrate true mastery of the material. The benefits of this approach are manifold: - Concise Learning: By focusing on simple, one-sentence facts, the learning process is distilled to its essence. This conciseness ensures that every word you learn is impactful and directly related to your interests, making the information easier to remember. - Reinforcement of Learning: Alternating between English and the target language with each fact helps reinforce your new vocabulary and grammatical structures naturally. It bridges the gap between the two languages, solidifying your learning through constant, practical application. - Contextual and Engaged Learning: Associating each new word with a fact about a topic you are passionate about not only makes the vocabulary stickier but also keeps your learning process dynamic and engaging. This method not only teaches you a new language but does so through the lens of your personal passions. - Dual Knowledge Acquisition: As you navigate through these 100 facts, you're not just learning a new language; you're also deepening your knowledge about a specific subject. This dual focus not only enhances the language learning experience but also enriches your understanding of your chosen topic. Designed for learners who thrive on clear, targeted information, this series promises a learning experience that is both educational and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner or looking to broaden your linguistic skills, these books are tailored to make your educational journey as effective and engaging as possible. Embrace this journey of 100 facts, and let your passions fuel your progress in mastering a new language!
Download or read book The Acropolis written by Eleana Yalouri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Acropolis in Athens has captured the imaginations of readers, writers and travellers for centuries and every year draws crowds from all over the world. One of the world's most famous heritage sites, it has long been a national monument of Greece and a potent symbol of western civilization. But the Acropolis is typically viewed in the context of 5th-century-BC Athenian society, while the multiple local and international meanings and identities that the site shapes today are overlooked. This book looks at the meaning of the Acropolis in contemporary Greece. How are global ideas adopted and adapted by local cultures? How do Greeks deal with the national and international features of their ancient classical heritage? How do the global cultural constructions surrounding the Acropolis become part of local practices which project Greek cultural difference?The author examines this historic site as a powerful agent for negotiations of power on an international level. Drawing from a wide range of sources as well as original fieldwork, this handsomely illustrated book will make compelling reading for anyone interested in heritage issues, archaeology, anthropology material culture studies, and tourism.
Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Sport in Antiquity by : Paul Christesen
Download or read book A Cultural History of Sport in Antiquity written by Paul Christesen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cultural History of Sport in Antiquity covers the period 800 BCE to 600 CE. From the founding of the Olympics and Rome's celebratory games, sport permeated the cultural life of Greco-Roman antiquity almost as it does our own. Gymnasiums, public baths, monumental arenas, and circuses for chariot racing were constructed, and athletic contests proliferated. Sports-themed household objects were very popular, whilst the exploits of individual athletes, gladiators, and charioteers were immortalized in poetry, monuments, and the mosaic floors of the wealthy. This rich sporting culture attests to the importance of leisure among the middle and upper classes of the Greco-Roman world, but by 600 CE rising costs, barbarian invasions, and Christianity had swept it all away. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Sport presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and impact. The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport; sporting time and sporting space; products, training and technology; rules and order; conflict and accommodation; inclusion, exclusion and segregation; minds, bodies and identities; representation. Paul Christesen is Professor at Dartmouth College, USA. Charles Stocking is Associate Professor at Western University, Canada.

Book Synopsis Periklean Athens and Its Legacy by : Judith M. Barringer
Download or read book Periklean Athens and Its Legacy written by Judith M. Barringer and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late fifth century BC was the golden age of ancient Athens. Under the leadership of the renowned soldier-statesman Perikles, Athenians began rebuilding the Akropolis, where they created the still awe-inspiring Parthenon. Athenians also reached a zenith of artistic achievement in sculpture, vase painting, and architecture, which provided continuing inspiration for many succeeding generations. The specially commissioned essays in this volume offer a fresh, innovative panorama of the art, architecture, history, culture, and influence of Periklean Athens. Written by leading experts in the field, the articles cover a wide range of topics, including: An evaluation of Perikles' military leadership during the early stages of the Peloponnesian War. Iconographical and iconological studies of vase paintings, wall paintings, and sculpture. Explorations of the Parthenon and other monuments of the Athenian Akropolis. The legacy of Periklean Athens and its influence upon later art. Assessments of the modern reception of the Akropolis. As a whole, this collection of essays proves that even a well-explored field such as Periklean Athens can yield new treasures when mined by perceptive and seasoned investigators.
Book Synopsis Watercolors of the Acropolis by : Joan R. Mertens
Download or read book Watercolors of the Acropolis written by Joan R. Mertens and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the days before color photography, hand-colored drawings and photographs were the principal means of documenting polychrome Greek art. Beginning in the late 1870s, Émile Gilliéron recorded major archaeological discoveries in Greece shortly after their excavation. This Bulletin, accompanying an exhibition of five watercolors by Gilliéron, features the Swiss draftsman’s drawings of sculptures from the Athenian Acropolis. On view for decades after their acquisition, Gilliéron’s watercolors were eventually retired to The Met's basement, likely in the late 1940s, before the advent of modern conservation practices. Reproductions and copies fell out of fashion, and Gilliéron’s work remained in storage until 2015. In addition to telling the story of the watercolors during Gilliéron’s time, this Bulletin follows the conservators’ heroic efforts to rehabilitate these forgotten pieces. Images of the conserved watercolors, published here for the first time, provide fascinating insight into the sculptures found at the Acropolis as they appeared when they were first unearthed around the turn of the century.
Book Synopsis Hadrian and the Christians by : Marco Rizzi
Download or read book Hadrian and the Christians written by Marco Rizzi and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Century occupies a central place in the development of ancient Christianity. The aim of the book is to examine how in the cultural, social, and religious efflorescence of the Second Century,to be witnessed inphenomena such as the Second Sophistic, Christianity found a peculiar way of integrating into the more general transformation of the Empire and how this allowed the emerging religion to establish and flourish in Graeco-Roman society. Hadrian’s reign was the starting point ofthat process and opened new possibilities of self-definition and external self-presentation to Christianity, as well asto other social and religious agencies. Differently from Judaism, however, Christianity fully seized the opportunity,thus gaining an increasing place in Graeco-Roman society, which ultimately led to the first Christian peace under the Severan emperors. The point at issue is examined from a multi-disciplinary perspective (including archaeology, cultural, religious, and political history) to challenge well-established, but no longer satisfactory, historical and hermeneutical paradigms. The contributors aim to examine institutional issues and sociocultural processes in their different aspects, as they were made possibleon Hadrian’s initiative andresulted inthemerge of early Christianityinto the Roman Empire.
Book Synopsis Art in Athens During the Peloponnesian War by : Olga Palagia
Download or read book Art in Athens During the Peloponnesian War written by Olga Palagia and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-06 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effects of the Peloponnesian War on the arts of Athens and the historical and artistic contexts in which this art was produced. During this period, battle scenes dominated much of the monumental art, while large numbers of memorials to the war dead were erected. The temple of Athena Nike, built to celebrate Athenian victories in the first part of the war, carries a rich sculptural program illustrating military victories. For the first time, the arts in Athens expressed an interest in the afterlife, with many sculptured dedications to Demeter and Kore, who promised initiates special privileges in the underworld. Not surprisingly, there were also dedications to healer gods. After the Sicilian disaster, a retrospective tendency can be noted in both art and politics, which provided reassurance in a time of crisis. Bringing together essays by an international team of art historians and historians, this is the first book to focus on the new themes and new kinds of art introduced in Athens as a result of the thirty-year war.

Book Synopsis Ancient Sacred Sites in the Gulf of Naples by : Luca Di Franco
Download or read book Ancient Sacred Sites in the Gulf of Naples written by Luca Di Franco and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geographical position between the gulfs of Naples and Salerno made pre-Roman Sorrento a fundamental point of passage. Around the inhabited centre, sacred sites or scattered settlements developed, including the sanctuary of Athena on the extreme tip of the peninsula near Punta Campanella. This book explores the historical development of the sanctuary from the 6th century BC to the 1st century AD. Drawing on partly unpublished archaeological documentation and literary sources, the book provides useful elements for understanding the site and its relationship with the surrounding area. Sorrento and the Greek presence in the Gulf of Naples are linked to the sanctuary installation, perhaps first dedicated to the Sirens but surely after to Athena. Judging from literary sources, it was one of the best-known places of worship in ancient Italy. It was only in the 1980s that the discovery of an Oscan inscription with a dedication to Minerva made it possible to hypothesise the presence of a sanctuary near the Medieval tower at Punta Campanella. The analysis of the archaeological documentation known until now, the study of the new archaeological plans and the material culture (ceramics) from the site make it possible to better understand the development and the importance of the sanctuary. This book, therefore, defines the historical and territorial development of the sanctuary of Athena, reconstructing the history of the territory of ancient Surrentum and, above all, its most important sanctuary. The book will be of particular interest to archaeologists, ancient historians and historians of religion.
