The Advent of Early Modern Warfare: The History of the Transition From Medieval Military Tactics to the Age of Gunpowder Charles River Editors
Includes picturesIncludes accounts of medieval battlesIncludes online resources and a bibliography for further readingIncludes a table of contents In the time period between the fall of Rome and the spread of the Renaissance across the European continent, many of today’s European nations were formed, the Catholic Church rose to great prominence, some of history’s most famous wars occurred, and a social class system was instituted that lasted over 1,000 years. A lot of activity took place during a period frequently labeled derogatively as the “Dark Ages,” and while that period of time is mostly referred to as the “Middle Ages” instead of the Dark Ages today, it has still retained the stigma of being a sort of lost period of time in which Western civilization made no worthwhile progress aft...
Akron Churches: Early Architecture (Images of America: Ohio) Kally Mavromatis
The history of Akron begins with the building of the great Ohio and Erie Canal. The financial incentives offered to workers building the canal brought men from all over to build the great “ditch,” and as they and their families settled in Akron, they also began to build magnificent churches and cathedrals that became the heart of their communities. With roots stretching back to the early 1800s, many of the churches that stand today are more than a century old and in many instances are the second or third church to be built by their congregations. Each successive church more grand than the last, these edifices were literally built with the pennies, nickels, and dimes of their members, who built structures that reflected the prevailing architectural styles of the day. Many of the churches ha...

All the Shah's Men Gail Rose Thompson
As the wife of an American businessman I spent the better part of the 1970's in Iran and saw the boom of the Shah's development and great vision for Iran to be recognized internationally, in every field; it was to be Iran's Great Civilization. An invitation to work for the Imperial Court as a horse trainer enabled me to see many of the royal family in informal moments; it also gave me an entrée into high society, to watch the upper class Iranians at play. Many generals and court officials spent much of their time junketing and enjoying all kinds of sports activities in which they indulged themselves to the fullest, in Tehran and costal resorts. This is a book of stories and anecdotes about my life during the "Golden Years" of the reign of Mohamed Reza Shahanshah Aryamehr of Iran. There wer...

Apuntes sobre la filosofía de la Revelación de F. W. J. Schelling (1841-1842) Søren Kierkegaard
En Berlín, entre noviembre de 1841 y febrero de 1842, Søren Kierkegaard asistió a las lecciones sobre la Filosofía de la Revelación impartidas por Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling. La presente edición recoge los apuntes tomados por el pensador danés, un documento imprescindible para entender la huella de Schelling en el giro que tomará la producción kierkegaardiana hasta El concepto de la angustia (1844). El viejo Schelling expone su concepto de filosofía positiva: una filosofía de la existencia en la que se orquesta su crítica a la filosofía idealista de G. W. F. Hegel. El ideal-realismo del último Schelling servirá a Kierkegaard de orientación para su propia crítica a la filosofía hegeliana. Se hace así eco de sus temas, como son la importancia concedida por Schelling a la mitología, l...

Pero el objetivo fundamental de este libro es el de aportar conocimientos para evitar quedar atrapados en el sexo. Por increíble que pueda parecer en una sociedad informada hasta la saciedad, seguimos haciéndonos esta pregunta: ¿De verdad, hay personas que no pueden controlar su sexualidad?
