The tragic life of Julian, the last non-Christian emperor of Rome, by award-winning author Philip Freeman  “When we think of ancient Rome, it’s impossible not to think of Christianity, one of its most notable exports—but what if it hadn’t been? This is the question provoked by classicist Philip Freeman in Julian, an appealing new entry in Yale’s Ancient Lives series, which tells the story of the old faith’s last imperial torchbearer.”—Anna Heyward, New York Times Book Review  Flavius Claudius Julianus, or Julian the Apostate, ruled Rome as sole emperor for just a year and a half, from 361 to 363, but during that time he turned the world upside down. Although a nephew of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Julian fought to return Rome to the old gods who had led his ancestors to build their vast empire.  As emperor, Julian (331–363) set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Thirty was the number of minutes it took for one Coastal Command crew to sink two U-boats. This remarkable achievement was carried out by the crew of Flying Officer Kenneth ‘Kayo’ Moore in their 224 Squadron Liberator on the evening of 7/8 June 1944. Whilst patrolling the western end of the English Channel, Moore’s crew first dispatched U-629, followed, just under thirty minutes later, by U-373. The story of this remarkable engagement is just one of many recounted by the author in Heroes of Coastal Command.Established in 1936, Coastal Command was the RAF’s only maritime arm.

One of the first woman authors, Julian of Norwich produced in Revelations of Divine Love a remarkable work of revelatory insight, that stands alongside The Cloud of Unknowing and Piers Plowman as a classic of Medieval religious literatureAfter fervently praying for a greater understanding of Christ''s passion, Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century anchorite and mystic, experienced a series of divine revelations. Through these ''showings'', Christ''s sufferings were revealed to her with extraordinary intensity, but she also received assurance of God''s unwavering love for man and his infinite capacity for forgiveness. Written in a vigorous English vernacular, the Revelations are one of the most original works of medieval mysticism and have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. This edition of the Revelations contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the ''showings'' themselves and Julian''s initial interpretation of their meaning, and the long text, completed some twenty years later, which moves from vision to a daringly speculative theology. Elizabeth Spearing''s translation preserves Julian''s directness of expression and the rich complexity of her thought.

Julián a Řehoř? Císař Iulianus, titulovaný křesťany "Apostata" čili "Odpadlík", a Grégorios z Nazianzu, titulovaný křesťany "Teolog" a ctěný coby svatý Řehoř? Julián a Řehoř, dvě klíčové osobnosti dvou protichůdných linií dějin evropské duchovní kultury - křesťanské a pohanské a/nebo sekulární? Julián a Řehoř sdíleli týž čas, řeckojazyčnou kulturu a novoplatonismus. Oba prošli odlehlou Kappadokií i Athénami čili "antickým Oxfordem". Oba zažili konflikt s "městským davem" - jeden v Antiochii, druhý v Konstantinopoli. Oba bojují rétoricky proti "falešným kynikům", ale sami se stylizují do "pravých kyniků", následovníků Diogenových v dobrovolném sebeomezení a vnitřní nezávislosti. Oba v autobiografických textech vyjadřují podobné pojetí vlastní osobnosti - výjimečné a nepochopené, duchovní a asketické, "Christ figure". Monografie obsahuje úvodní srovnávací studii a překlad vybraných textů, dosud do češtiny nepřeložených: z Juliánova díla satira Misopógón, "nepřítel vousu", a výběr z listů o budování pohanské církve, z Řehořova díla výbor z autobiografického eposu O vlastním životě. Autorem překladů i studie je Martin C. Putna. Vznikající překlady byly diskutovány na Cibulském bytovém semináři.

My dog understands me! At least, many dog owners think so. New scientific studies actually show that dogs understand a lot about us humans. For example, they can figure out what humans can and cannot see. Some dogs can even distinguish large numbers of toys by name, like Rico, the internationally famous Border collie.But do dogs also understand our emotions? Can they grasp cause and effect relationships? What fascinates us humans about dogs? Is it only the proverbial ‘puppy dog eyes’ that make dogs look sympathetic? Or is it the fact that these animals have grown very well-attuned to humans and are willing to cooperate with them?In a total of ten chapters, Juliane Bräuer and Juliane Kaminski present the results of the most important scientific studies of the last twenty years on dog cognition.

Raised in fairly unconventional ways in various homes in Paris, England, New York, and New Hampshire, Julianna found that her role among the surrounding turmoil and uncertainty was to comfort those around her, seeking organization among the disorder, making her way in the world as a young adult and eventually an award-winning actress. Throughout, there were complicated relationships, difficult choices, and overwhelming rejections. But there were also the moments where fate, faith, and talent aligned, leading to the unforgettable roles of a lifetime, both professionally and personally—moments when chaos had ...

An intimate view of the triumphs and challenges experienced by Black officers in the twentieth century.Rise to Command is a social history told in the words of seventeen Black military officers who grew up in the Jim Crow era and served in the US military. The officers speak candidly about their careers and struggles and the important lessons they learned from their communities, which helped them succeed.Black Americans in the armed forces fought on two fronts: one against America’s external adversaries on the battlefield, and the other against racial discrimination and segregation within military culture and American society. The officers discuss living through segregation, the civil rights movement, and the Black Power movement. These torchbearers speak frankly about the racially biased officer evaluation system, gender discrimination, and how they survived and thrived despite systemic obstacles.Rise to Command examines the evolution of policies and cultural dynamics within the US military, with a critical focus on the complexities of racial integration and equity.
