In Scotland''s Empire, T.M Devine tells the compelling story of Scotland''s role in forging and expanding the British Empire, from the Americas to Australia, India to the Caribbean.

Výlet na Devín - Ján Rozner
Rozprávanie Jána Roznera, založené na zážitkoch z niekoľkých návštev hradu Devín. Spočiatku to boli výlety loďou s matkou a bratom kvôli zdravotným problémom. Potom sa tam dostal v dramatických rokoch nástupu fašizmu, keď sa bratislavskí Nemci schádzali na Devíne na politických manifestáciách. Napokon v povojnovom období, keď sa na Devíne konali všeslovanské slávnosti s patričnými politickými prejavmi a vystúpeniami sovietskych súborov. Devín bol pre Roznera symbol dejinných zvratov a politických manipulácií s ľudským vedomím pri radikálne sa meniacich režimoch. Tomu poslednému uveril aj on sám, kým sa nepresvedčil, že prax protirečí pôvodným ideám. Roznerove návraty do minulosti, na ktorú sa pozerá pohľadom účastníka a intelektuála, majú charakter autentického svedectva o dobe valcujúcej v jednotlivých vlnách ľudské osudy.

Independence or Union - T. M. Devine
''Deserves to be read by everyone interested in the future of the United Kingdom'' Andrew Marr, The Sunday TimesThere can be no relationship in Europe''s history more creative, significant, vexed and uneasy than that between Scotland and England. From the Middle Ages onwards the island of Britain has been shaped by the unique dynamic between Edinburgh and London, exchanging inhabitants, monarchs, money and ideas, sometimes in a spirit of friendship and at others in a spirit of murderous dislike.Tom Devine''s seminal new book explores this extraordinary history in all its ambiguity, from the seventeenth century to the present. When not undermining each other with invading armies, both Scotland and England have broadly benefitted from each other''s presence - indeed for long periods of time nobody questioned the union which joined them. But as Devine makes clear, it has for the most part been a relationship based on consent, not force, on mutual advantage, rather than antagonism - and it has always held the possibility of a political parting of the ways.With the United Kingdom under a level of scrutiny unmatched since the eighteenth century Independence or Union is the essential guide.

Dragons - Devin Johnston
The seventh book of poems from Devin Johnston, a poet who can "change the way you breathe" (Maureen N. McLane).Dragons is a collection of sonorous, sensual poems from Devin Johnston, “one of the finest craftsmen of verse we have†(Michael Autrey, Booklist). Attentive to both the physical world and our place in it, his arresting images of nature and human life ring with quiet power. An elegy for a ten-year-old hen; a fourth grader seeing a fox, his “fur waistcoat immaculateâ€; the sound of neighbors arguing set against the “pallid flames†of the setting sun: together, such scenes form a resonant, restrained meditation on life’s journey and “the feeling of time.â€

Armies of the Byzantine Empire, 395-1204 - Gabriele Esposito
The Byzantine Empire originated in AD 395 from the definitive subdivision of the Roman Empire into two distinct political entities: the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire. While the Western Empire disappeared in 476, due to Germanic invasions, the Eastern Empire endured for centuries. During Justinian’s reign (527-565) a good portion of the western territories were reconquered for a time and the Empire retained a distinctive ‘Roman’ nature at least until the reign of Heraclius (610-641). But during his reign, the Eastern Empire came under attack from the expanding Muslim Arabs, losing a much of its original Eastern territories. With Imperial power weakened and restricted largely to the Balkans and Anatolia, the ‘Roman’ nature of the Eastern Empire became progressively more Greek and transformed into what we know as ‘the Byzantine Empire’ (though they called themselves Romans to the end). Despite being surrounded by enemies, the Byzantines defended their remaining domains for a further half a millenium, their territories expanding and contracting with fluctuating fortunes. This tenacious survival was largely due to the ability of their military to adapt (as Roman armies always had) to emerging threats from a wide variety of enemies. The Byzantine Empire collapsed only in 1204, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Soviet Factography - Devin Fore
A study of Soviet factography, an avant-garde movement that employed photography, film, journalism, and mass media technologies.  This is the first major English-language study of factography, an avant-garde movement of 1920s modernism. Devin Fore charts this style through the work of its key figures, illuminating factography’s position in the material culture of the early Soviet period and situating it as a precursor to the genre of documentary that arose in the 1930s. Factographers employed photography and film practices in their campaign to inscribe facts and to chronicle modernization as it transformed human experience and society. Fore considers factography in light of the period’s explosion of new media technologies—including radio broadcasting, sound in film, and photo-media innovations—that allowed the press to transform culture on a massive scale.  This theoretically driven study uses material from Moscow archives and little-known sources to highlight factography as distinct from documentary and Socialist Realism and to establish it as one of the major twentieth-century avant-garde forms. Fore covers works of photography, film, literature, and journalism together in his considerations of Soviet culture, the interwar avant-gardes, aesthetics, and the theory of documentary. Â
