O cruzeiro e a corrente
Não obstante esta ser uma instituição recente, se comparada à temporalidade das outras instituições que compõem o Ministério da Defesa no Brasil, a ESG também se caracteriza como uma das mais complexas, pois sua concepção diversa possibilita analisá-la por abordagens, ângulos e campos do conhecimento distintos. Esta tese procura evidenciar a influência maçônica presente na prática pedagógica e simbólica da Escola Superior de Guerra, especialmente no período 1949-1961, marcado pela sua formação e da construção de suas bases pedagógico-filosóficas, principalmente pela ação do Almirante Benjamin Sodré. Pretende-se ressaltar que a incorporação de práticas maçôni...
Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century
In Ancient Marbles in Naples in the Eighteenth Century Eloisa Dodero aims at documenting the history of numerous private collections formed in Naples during the 18th century, with particular concern for the “Neapolitan marbles” and the circumstances of their dispersal. Research has thus made it possible to formulate a synthesis of the collecting dynamics of Naples in the 18th century, to define the interest of the great European collectors, especially British, in the antiquities of the city and its territory and to draw up a catalogue which for the first time brings together the nucleus of sculptures reported in the Neapolitan collections or coming from irregular excavations, most of which shared the destiny of dispersal, in some cases here traced in definitive fashion.
Ancient Carved Ambers in the J. Paul Getty Museum
A comprehensive overview of ancient ambers, the only such book in English, is now revised. First published in 2012, this catalogue presents fifty-six Etruscan, Greek, and Italic carved ambers from the Getty Museum's collection—the second largest body of this material in the United States and one of the most important in the world. The ambers date from about 650 to 300 BC. The catalogue offers full description of the pieces, including typology, style, chronology, condition, and iconography. Each piece is illustrated. The catalogue is preceded by a general introduction to ancient amber (which was also published in 2012 as a stand-alone print volume titled Amber and the Ancient World). Through exquisite visual examples and vivid classical texts, this book examines the myths and legends woven around amber—its employment in magic and medicine, its transport and carving, and its incorporation into jewelry, amulets, and other objects of prestige. This publication highlights a group of remarkable amber carvings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
The Administration of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily
The administration of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily has long been held up to be the most advanced government in twelfth-century Europe. However, until now there has been considerable confusion about how this bureaucracy actually functioned, whether it developed in the twelfth century or retained the form given it by Roger II; whether it had regional variations, what the identity of different departments of government was, who did what within the structures of government, and what the relationship between the Greek, Arabic and Latin elements within the administration was. This work goes a long way to sorting out these problems. The author's meticulous work with chronicles and charters enables him to clear up many problems and mysteries in the administration of finance and justice and to identify such uncertainties as remain. This fundamental work forms a basic reference point for future studies of Norman Sicily and of government in the high Middle Ages.

Apulien
Die Begegnung mit Apulien ist, so konstatiert der Autor Ekkehart Rotter, selten Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Auf den zweiten Blick jedoch vermag die süditalienische Region sehr wohl zu begeistern. Der Kunst-Reiseführer "Apulien", eine Lese-, Hand- und Reisebuch, trägt seinen Teil dazu bei, denn Ekkehart Rotter schreibt über Apulien mit profunder Kenntnis, aber auch mit viel Verständnis für die Eigenheiten der Apulier, die er gern mit einem Schuss Ironie kommentiert. Überschriften wie "Notstände und Erklärungen" oder "Müßiggang und Wollust" lassen dies unschwer erkennen. Das knapp 40 Buchseiten umfassende Kapitel "Geschichte und Kultur" ist keine trockene Datensammlung, sondern span...
Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine
Hugh Johnson has won a legion of fans with his keen ability to make the sometimes complex topic of wine wonderfully lucid—and every year, his popular pocket guide is a bestseller.

A new section showcases Johnson’s special, personal choices, and there are plenty of quick-reference maps, charts, and fact boxes for a little extra guidance.
Princes and Princely Culture
The essays in this volume discuss princely courts north of the Alps and Pyrenees between 1450-1650 as focal points for products of medieval and renaissance culture such as literature, music, political ideology, social and governmental structures, the fine arts and devotional practice.
