Emperor of rome - mary beardová

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER'[Mary Beard] has always had the sharpest eyes for telling detail and colourful anecdote' Sunday Times'Britain's most famous classicist ... at the peak of her powers' The Times'Extraordinary ... a deliciously varied tapestry of detail drawn from across nearly three centuries' Telegraph'The reigning Queen of Classics' SpectatorWhat was it really like to rule and be ruled in the Ancient Roman world?In her international best-seller SPQR, Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome.Now, she shines her spotlight on the emperors who ruled the Roman empire, from Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE). Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, one after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained?Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.

At the heart of this big question is how people have depicted the human and divine, from prehistory to the present day. Britain's most famous classicist Mary Beard asks: how have we portrayed ourselves in some of the world's earliest art? Why have these images sometimes been so contentious?In time for the 55th anniversary airing of Kenneth Clark's Civilisation, Beard explores gigantic stone heads carved by the Olmec in Central America, the statues and pottery of the ancient Greeks, and the first emperor of China's terracotta army. And she explains how one ancient representation of the human body still influences (or distorts) how people in the West see their own culture, and that of others.From Angkor Wat to the Ravenna mosaics and exquisite calligraphy of Islamic mosques, all religions have wrestled with idolatry and iconoclasm. Throughout this story, Beard is concerned not only with the artists who made art, but with those who have used, viewed, or interpreted it - and asked how to look with The Eye of Faith.

Krátký feministický manifest od oceňované autorky Mary Beard, ve kterém pátrá po kořenech misogynie od antické mytologie až po současnost. Anotace: Profesorka antické literatury Mary Beardová je britské veřejnosti dobře známá, vedle akademické práce se věnuje také populárně naučným projektům a její hlas silně a často zaznívá ve veřejné debatě. Mary Beardová se však nevyjadřuje pouze k tématu tisíce let staré literatury a kultury. Promlouvá též o feministických tématech a problémy dneška dovede nejen brilantně analyzovat, ale také vysvětlit historické důvody jejich vzniku. Ve dvou přednáškách, jejichž upravenou verzi přináší tento svazek, profesorka Beardová s precizností a vtipem analyzuje, jakým překážkám musely napříč historií ženy, a zejména ženy, jež usilovaly o jakoukoli veřejnou roli, čelit a dokumentuje to na příkladech sahajících od literární postavy Odysseovy věrné manželky Penelopy až po kandidátku na prezidentku USA Hillary Clintonovou. Beardová zkoumá historické kořeny misogynie, ilustruje snahu o umlčení ženského hlasu na veřejnosti a rozebírá naše kulturní vzorce vnímání místa ženy ve společnosti a problematické vnímání žen v pozici moci. S rozsahem jen něco přes sto stran mohou Ženy a moc vypadat jako drobné dílko, ale nenechte se zmást. Tato kniha vydá za tlusté svazky, a neumlčí ji ani Telemachos, ani nikdo jiný. - Sarah E. Bond, Forbes Jasná výzva všem ženám, aby pozvedly hlas, převedly slova v činy a předefinovaly vlastní moc. - People Magazine Vtipný a přesvědčivý manifest. - New York Times Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

Lawrence brings the Broken Empire series to its devastating conclusion The path to the throne is broken - only the broken can walk it The world is cracked and time has run through, leaving us clutching at the end days. These are the days that have waited for us all our lives. These are my days. I will stand before the Hundred and they will listen. I will take the throne no matter who stands against me, living or dead, and if I must be the last emperor then I will make of it such an ending. This is where the wise man turns away. This is where the holy kneel and call on God. These are the last miles, my brothers. Don't look to me to save you. Run if you have the wit. Pray if you have the soul. Stand your ground if courage is yours. But don't follow me. Follow me, and I will break your heart. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

An artist whose fans are multi-racial and multi-generational, Timbaland works with the hottest artists, from Mariah Carey and Missy Elliott to Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Madonna, and his childhood friend, Pharrell Williams. Yet this celebrity is a uniquely private man who shuns parties, stays out of gossip columns, and rarely gives interviews. Deliberately choosing to tour by bus and conspicuously bling-free, he maintains a low-key lifestyle. If he's not at the recording studio, he is at home with his family. In The Emperor of Sound, Timbaland offers fans an unprecedented look into his life and work. Completely uncensored and totally honest, he reveals the magic behind the music, sharing the various creative impulses that arise while he's producing, and the layering of sounds that have created dozens of number one hits. Cinematically written, full of revealing anecdotes and reflections from today's most popular music icons, The Emperor of Sound showcases this master's artistry and offers an extraordinary glimpse inside this great musical mind.

eBook: A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) is a work of crucial importance in intellectual history. Considered by most as Western feminism’s central heroine, Wollstonecraft argues that women must be educated to develop their reason in order to throw off the frivolous, debilitating role of man’s plaything. Rather than cultivating power from sexual allure, women should be honest, intelligent, and independent. Her concern about how women’s innate worth is denigrated by improper definitions of the feminine in novels, in advice literature, and in educational systems has inspired women for over two centuries to contemplate the connections between power and femininity. About the Author:As a young woman Mary Wollstonecraft worked in most of the few acceptable occupations for genteel women: lady’s companion, governess, seamstress, and schoolteacher. Unsatisfied by these conventional positions, Wollstonecraft carved out a career as a female polemicist, publishing in a wide range of genres: articles, reviews, novels, children’s stories, educational tracts, histories, travel writing, and textbooks.

V JHS jsou fuzz pedály v nabídce již více než deset let. Navrhli originální obvody, replikovali klasiku a viděli, že trend popularity fuzzů přichází a odchází. Série "Legends Of Fuzz" je poctou nejdůležitějším fuzz obvodem, jaké byly kdy vyrobeny. Od prvních fuzzů v Londýnské scéně v polovině 60. let až po bývalé sovětské fuzzy 90. let, které přivedly Big Muff zpět k životu, fuzz vypráví příběh a tento příběh ovlivňuje kytaristy, jako jste vy.Společnost Kay Musical Instruments založil Henry „Kay“ Kuhrmeyer 1. července 1931. Přestože Henry rychle přesunul výrobní zaměření na všechny typy smyčcových nástrojů (včetně baskytar, viol a kytar), na trh s kytarovými pedály vstoupily až později v 60. létech minulého století se sérií nádherně zvláštních plastových pedálů bez knoflíků. Každá ze čtyř jednotek (Fuzz Tone F1, Tremol T1, Wah Wah W1 a Bass Boost B1) byla umístěna v krytech bez knoflíků, které umožňovaly nastavení jednoho parametru každého efektu nohou. Kay Fuzz Tone byl s největší pravděpodobností vydán koncem roku 1968/začátkem roku 1969. Původně navržen jako levná verze Shin-ei/Univox Superfuzz, tento fuzz je jedním z nejpopulárnějších Edge pedálů. O 54 let později vydává svoji verzi JHS Kay Fuzz Tone: Mary-K. Dokonce přidali knoflíky a výstup expression pedálu pro ty, kteří ho chtějí používat tak, jak to bylo původně zamýšleno.Namísto použití pedálového šasi umožňují uživatelům Mary-K možnost ovládat knoflík Frequency pomocí expression pedálu. Doporučují Expression pedály Nektar NX-P a Roland EV-5, ale fungovat by mělo také mnoho dalších expression pedálů. Upozorňujeme, že některé Expression pedály mohou do signálového řetězce v prostředích s vysokým elektromagnetickým rušením vnášet bzučení/šum. Proto JHS doporučují používat plastové expression pedály s krátkými kabely, aby se předešlo nežádoucímu šumu v prostředí s vysokým EMI.

eBook:,On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the death of Charles IV in 1978, Professor Emanuel Vlček, MD, DSc conducted research of the skeletal remains of the Pater patriae, which brought a number of surprising findings, important to a whole range of scientific disciplines at Charles University, and cast light on significant events in Charles’ life as well as on the cause of his death. The research has presented this prominent ruler as a human being, an ordinary mortal, suffering from many injuries and chronic diseases with which he was coping with indefatigable will, keeping in mind his commitments to God and Kingdom of Bohemia. It may be that all the pain and suffering also influenced his spirituality and his efforts to find salvation by attempting to realize his concept of the supreme being (Imitatio Christi). The results of the research by Professor Vlček have been repeatedly published, but until now we have had no representative publication in English. The forthcoming celebrations of the 700th anniversary of Charles’ birth offer an opportunity to fill this gap. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
