“Fascinating. . . . Will have a very special appeal to readers [interested] in the evolution of the English language, Roman history, and medieval British history.” —Midwest Book Review The end of empire in Britain was both more abrupt and more complete than in any of the other European Roman provinces. When the fog clears and Britain re-enters the historical record, it is, unlike other former European provinces of the Western Empire, dominated by a new culture that speaks a language that is neither Roman nor indigenous British Brythonic, and with a pagan religion that owes nothing to Romanitas or native British practices. Other ex-Roman provinces of the Western Empire in Europe showed ...
This book does not claim absolute truths, but it speaks for those who can no longer speak for themselves by the histories they witnessed, wrote about, and which defined their ancestors and descendants, including the most powerful woman that ever lived – Countess Elizabeth Bathory. She tried to change the world; she paradoxically succeeded and failed. But what drove her? What did she know, we do not? What is her history? To begin to understand all this, one must travel back in time to when it began, when truth first became obscured, and when European society – Western culture - went horribly wrong. It is why her world was the way it was. Today, historiological “truths” of European Med...

Da Enea a Giulio Cesare, da Augusto ad Aureliano, i personaggi che hanno reso grande la Città Eterna Nel 2 a.C. fu inaugurato a Roma il Foro di Augusto, luogo in cui il primo imperatore volle collocare una serie di statue dedicate a uomini che gli antichi romani consideravano i loro eroi: i Summi Viri. Tali statue – tra le quali primeggiavano per dimensioni e posizione quelle di Enea e Romolo – incarnavano i personaggi, mitici o realmente esistiti, che avevano influito in modo determinante sulle sorti della Città Eterna. Questo libro propone una galleria di ritratti di queste figure leggendarie, che hanno contribuito ad affermare il mito romano nella Storia. Soldati e politici, ma anch...
Uscire dal Museo come metafora, non come rifiuto ma come piccolo dossier di istruzioni per l’uso per rientrarci più consapevolmente. Il messaggio intende rivolgersi con taglio pratico agli studenti che approcciano le discipline della museologia e possono aspirare a trovare un’occupazione in quel campo, e in particolare agli archeologi che rinunciano a cimentarsi in opere di allestimento e comunicazione a conclusione delle proprie ricerche, lasciando il campo ad altri professionisti, piuttosto che cercarne la collaborazione. Il valore del contesto in archeologia è essenziale, essendo questa una scienza storica che si costruisce attraverso frammenti dove l’archeologo museologo ha il co...
For a wide variety of Web Programming, HTML, and JavaScript courses found in Computer Science, CIS, MIS, IT, Business, Engineering, and Continuing Education departments. Also appropriate for an introductory programming course (replacing traditional programming languages like C, C++ and Java) for schools wanting to integrate the Internet and World Wide Web into their curricula. The revision of this groundbreaking book in the Deitels'How to Program series offers a thorough treatment of programming concepts, with programs that yield visible or audible results in Web pages and Web-based applications. The book discusses effective Web-page design, server- and client-side scripting, ActiveX(R) controls and the essentials of electronic commerce. Internet & World Wide Web How to Program also offers an alternative to traditional introductory programming courses. The fundamentals of programming no longer have to be taught in languages like C, C++ and Java. With Internet/Web markup languages (such as HTML, Dynamic HTML and XML) and scripting languages (such as JavaScript(R), VBScript(R) and Perl/CGI), you can teach the fundamentals of programming wrapped in the Web-page metaphor.
This is the story of the production of the armour used by the soldiers of the Roman Empire. The book presents an examination of the metals the armour was made from, of how the ores containing those metals were extracted from the earth and transformed into workable metal and of how that raw product was made into the armour.
