Je pro vás kuchyně královstvím, v němž se cítíte jako ryba ve vodě? Přivítejte v ní multifunkční kuchyňský robot ECG Forza 5500 Giorno a posuňte své kulinářské umění zase o krůček dál. Tento šikovný pomocník vám díky bohatému příslušenství spolehlivě pomůže při hnětení těsta, mletí masa i třeba šlehání smetany. Ať už tak rádi vaříte, nebo dáváte přednost pečení, práce vám s ním půjde krásně od ruky. K přednostem robotu patří robustní zpracování, velká míchací mísa z nerezové oceli (objem 6,5 l) či spolehlivý výkonný motor (1500 W). Jde tak o pokročilý spotřebič, který si musí zamilovat každý milovník gastronomie. Pokud patříte mezi kuchaře, jejichž výbava musí být vždy perfektní, tento robot je tady právě pro vás. Svým zpracováním vás totiž ECG Forza 5500 Giorno rozhodně nezklame – motor je vyroben z čisté mědi, převody jsou celokovové a zárukou kvality je i robustní tělo z ABS plastu, které eliminuje nežádoucí chvění. K tomu všemu přidejte ještě protiskluzové nožičky s přísavkami, které zajišťují stabilní postavení, a máte přístroj, který splňuje i ty nejvyšší nároky. Chystáte pro svou rodinu oblíbený dezert či jinou pochoutku? Vložte suroviny na těsto do robotu a jejich smísení nechte bez obav na něm. Díky planetární rotaci se veškeré ingredience spojí naprosto dokonale. Nástavce přístroje se totiž současně otáčejí kolem své vlastní osy i kolem osy převodovky. Robot navíc nabízí variabilní regulaci otáček s plynulým rozběhem a 6 rychlostmi, takže můžete jeho činnost přesně přizpůsobit receptu, který právě chystáte. A aby toho nebylo málo, využívat můžete i speciální pulzní režim. S ovládáním kuchyňského robotu si hravě poradí naprosto každý. Ovládá se pohodlně pomocí praktického otočného voliče rychlostí. K nastavení dalších funkcí, např. doby míchání, slouží intuitivní dotykový panel, který je doplněn o přehledný LED displej. Praktická je zde i funkce časovače, díky níž si můžete nastavit přesný čas, po který má robot pracovat. Když tak např. chystáte šlehačku, nemusíte se obávat, že byste ji příliš dlouhou přípravou takříkajíc přešlehali – prostě nastavíte optimální dobu šlehání a za chvilku máte hotovo. Kuchyňský robot ECG Forza 5500 Giorno vám pomůže s mnoha různými činnostmi. Jeho výbava je totiž opravdu bohatá. Posuďte sami: využívat můžete míchací hák na těsto, šlehací hák i šlehací metlu z nerezové oceli. Také máte k dispozici mlýnek na maso se 3 vyměnitelnými disky pro mletí různých druhů masa, bubnové struhadlo nebo speciální tvořítko na cukroví či sušenky. A samozřejmě nesmí chybět ani klasický mixér s kvalitními čepelemi z nerezové oceli a skleněnou nádobou o objemu 1,5 l.Pokud máte rádi italskou kuchyni, jistě oceníte i možnost dokoupení speciálního výrobníku těstovin (Pasta Maker).

Acclaimed historian and best-selling author Antony Beevor vividly brings to life the epic struggles that took place in Second World War Crete - reissued with a new introduction. 'The best book we have got on Crete' Observer The Germans expected their airborne attack on Crete in 1941 - a unique event in the history of warfare - to be a textbook victory based on tactical surprise. They had no idea that the British, using Ultra intercepts, knew their plans and had laid a carefully-planned trap.It should have been the first German defeat of the war, but a fatal misunderstanding turned the battle round. Nor did the conflict end there. Ferocious Cretan freedom fighters mounted a heroic resistance, aided by a dramatic cast of British officers from Special Operations Executive.

A landmark study of ancient Greek and Roman cults, from the nocturnal mysteries at Eleusis to the cults of Dionysus and Mithras. Mystery cults are one of the most intriguing areas of Greek and Roman religion. In the nocturnal mysteries at Eleusis, participants dramatically re-enacted the story of Demeter's loss and recovery of her daughter Persephone; in Bacchic cult, bands of women ran wild in the Greek countryside to honour Dionysus; in the mysteries of Mithras, men came to understand the nature of the universe and their place within it through frightening initiation ceremonies and astrological teachings. These cults were an important part of life in the ancient Mediterranean world, but their actual practices were shrouded in secrecy, and much of what they were about has remained unclear until now. This is the first book to describe and explain all the major mystery cults of the ancient world, cult by cult, reconstructing the rituals and exploring their origins. It makes plentiful use of artistic and archaeological evidence, as well as ancient literature and epigraphy. Greek painted pottery, Roman frescoes, inscribed gold tablets from Greek and South Italian tombs and the excavated sites of ancient religious sanctuaries all contribute to our understanding of ancient mystery cults. Making use of the most recent work on these cults, the book is also informed by crucial current work on the anthropology and cognitive science of religion. Not only is this clearly written book a significant contribution to the study of these cults, but it is also accessible to a general readership. More than any other book on ancient religion, it allows the reader to understand what it was like to participate in these life-transforming religious events.

The Ancient Egyptians used a hieroglyphic writing system that still resonates today for its graphic representation of things, people, pharaohs and concepts. These hieroglyphics were discovered by adventurers and archeologists in temples, tombs and on papyrus documents, telling of the everyday life, religion and history of this 5,000-year-old civilization. Some of the symbols were simple but represented something with a wider significance, such as the eye of Horus; other logographs might represent an animal, such as a snake, elephant or lion; while others, such as the Ba symbol of a bird with a human head, represented the human soul with the ability to travel to the afterlife using wings.The language grew and over time came to represent every facet of Ancient Egyptian life. This book allows the reader to piece together and read the symbols, to understand their meanings and use, and examines what they have taught the world about this most influential of early civilizations. In Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated, we learn more of the story of this rich ancient language and its development over thousands of years, and the story of their decipherment after the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.The book explores the key logograms for popular concepts such as ‘sun’, ‘house’ and ‘mountain’, as well as more complex ideas such as Ajet, or ‘sun rising over mountains’; marvel at Tutankhamun’s full name as marked on his tomb, which is portrayed using a reed, a wave of water, a falcon, an ankh symbol, and a series of staffs; learn about the two outstretched arms of the Ka symbol, which represents the mortal life and soul of a person. Each of the graphically illustrated entries is accompanied by a description of the written form and an explanation of its meaning. Presented in a high-quality Chinese-bound format with accompanying illustrations, Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated provides a compact, easy-to-understand introduction to the writing system of Ancient Egypt.
