Autor: Ann Raftery Meyer

Número de Páginas: 230

The chantry movement in late medieval England is situated in this context, and leads to a demonstration of the movement's associations with the highly-wrought poem Pearl and its companion poems; the book analyses Pearl as medieval architecture, offering fresh perspectives on its elaborate construction and historical context."--BOOK JACKET.

A Life of Anne of Hanover, Princess Royal

Autor: Baker-smith

Número de Páginas: 217

The eldest daughter of George II, and Handel's most knowledgeable patron, Anne is the only English princess since the fifteenth century to rule alone in a foreign country. In the Netherlands she is the least known of the energetic and able women from Amalia van Solms to Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont who have married into the House of Orange, but she is unique in holding real political power. This book uses hitherto unpublished private papers which give a vivid picture of eighteenth century social life in London, Friesland and The Hague. But, more importantly, they show her influence on Dutch politics at a time of constitutional change, while letters to her father, her brother 'Butcher' Cumberland and her cousin Frederick the Great show her playing a significant role on the European diplomatic stage.

Les plantes de service

Autor: Caroline Djian-caporalino , Anne-violette Lavoir

Número de Páginas: 450

Diminuer la dépendance des cultures aux intrants est essentiel pour adopter une agriculture plus durable et plus respectueuse de l’environnement et de la santé. Une des solutions est d’optimiser les services écosystémiques en augmentant la diversité fonctionnelle des plantes au sein, ou autour, des agrosystèmes. Dans ce contexte de transition agroécologique, l’utilisation de plantes de services est une méthode prometteuse et originale. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse complète des connaissances acquises sur l’ensemble des plantes de services et sur tous types de cultures (grandes cultures, vigne et cultures légumières, arboriculture fruitière), en milieux tempéré et tropical. Il aborde leurs mécanismes d’action, les multiservices rendus (services et disservices), les choix des plantes de services et leur mise en œuvre au sein de différentes filières et sous différents climats. Il invite à prendre du recul par rapport aux systèmes de culture intensifs et à leur spécialisation, et à concevoir des systèmes agroécologiques complexes, adaptatifs et résilients qui répondent aux enjeux actuels dans un contexte de plus en plus incertain : changement...

Décrypter la différence

Autor: Valérie Delattre , Ryadh Sallem

Número de Páginas: 204

La recherche scientifique s’est ici faite enquête de société, questionnant le passé pour mieux asseoir l’avenir. Quelle était la place des personnes handicapées dans des sociétés méconnues, des groupes millénaires et des communautés oubliées parfois seulement accessibles par l’archéologie ? Comment décoder, loin du cabinet de curiosités des pathologies invalidantes et spectaculaires, ces comportements tellement humains que sont l’exclusion, l’inclusion, l’acceptation, la prise en charge ou même la valorisation ? Ces questions omniprésentes et actuelles se sont conjuguées au passé grâce aux travaux réinterprétés ou inédits d’une trentaine de chercheurs, historiens, archéologues, anthropologues et sociologues. D’un passé solidaire et très lointain, revisité depuis l’obscurité millénaire des grottes de Palestine jusqu’aux techniques d’appareillages ingénieux de la Renaissance, notre présent s’enrichit des leçons et des surprises du « temps d’avant »... Destiné à tous lecteurs, spécialistes et grand public, « DECRYPTER LA DIFFERENCE, Lecture archéologique et historique de la place des personnes handicapées dans les...

Black Terror White Soldiers

Autor: David Livingstone

Número de Páginas: 714

Far too ignorant of the histories of the rest of the world, being aware of only the accomplishments of Greece, Rome and Europe, Westerners have been made to believe that their societies represent the most superior examples of civilization. However, the Western value system stems from a misconception that, as in nature, human society too is evolving. The idea derives from the hidden influence of secret societies, who followed the belief in spiritual evolution of the Kabbalah, which taught that history would attain its fulfillment when man would become God, and make his own laws. Therefore, the infamous Illuminati gave its name to the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, which claimed that human progress must abandon "superstition," meaning Christianity, in favor of "reason." Thus the Illuminati succeeded in bringing about the French and American revolutions, which instituted the separation of Church and State, and from that point forward, the Western values of Humanism, seen to include secularism, human rights, democracy and capitalism, have been celebrated as the culmination of centuries of human intellectual evolution. This is the basis of the propaganda which has been used...

Les églises byzantines de Cappadoce

Autor: Catherine Jolivet-lévy

Número de Páginas: 592

Des modestes oratoires d'ermites, aux fondations monastiques plus importantes, les établissements religieux subsistant en Cappadoce sont, pour la plupart, rupestres, creusés dans le tuf des cônes ou des falaises, ce qui explique leur conservation en grand nombre. Parfois décorés de peintures, qui s'échelonnent du Haut Moyen Âge au XIIIe siècle, ils sont autant de témoins de l'histoire et de la vie religieuse d'une province située entre Constantinople et les mondes chrétiens plus orientaux de Syrie, Palestine, Égypte, Mésopotamie et Transcaucasie. Dans cet ouvrage, Catherine Jolivet-Levy présente 150 églises byzantines. Quelques informations sur le site, l'architecture de l'église et les aménagements liturgiques de l'abside précèdent l'étude de la décoration peinte. Après la présentation du programme iconographique de l'ensemble de l'église, celui de l'abside et de ses abords est décrit avec précision, l'importance liturgique de cette partie de l'église justifiant un traitement plus développé. Les principaux thèmes absidaux et, en particulier, la composition la plus complexe et la plus caractéristique de Cappadoce : la Majestas Domini « archaïque » ...

Lives of the Queens of England from the Norman Conquest

Número de Páginas: 692

The English writer Agnes Strickland (1796-1874) began her career writing poetry and romances before turning to biographical studies. This eight-volume series, written in collaboration with her sister Elizabeth, and first published between 1840 and 1849, was her most ambitious project. It provides biographical accounts of the queens of England from Matilda of Flanders to Queen Anne. Hugely popular in the Victorian period, Lives of the Queens of England and its sequel Lives of the Queens of Scotland remain important landmarks in the development of biography as a genre, and provide interesting perspectives on women's contribution to modern historiography. Volume 6 focuses on Mary of Modena (1658-1718), her marriage with James II, and her period of exile at the court of Louis XIV.

From the much-loved author of The Vanished Days, a novel of love, loyalty and ultimate betrayal... 1707 An ill-fated expedition for the New World left Sophia Paterson an orphan, cared for by her uncle. On his passing, a distant relative offers what Sophia longs for most: a home. Slains Castle, on the rugged Scottish coast, is much more comfortable than she is accustomed to. But danger is right around the corner, as rebels conspire to bring the exiled James Stewart to Scotland to reclaim his crown. Present day Enchanted by the ruins of the castle, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn this all-but-forgotten story into her next novel. Settling in the nearby village, she creates a heroine named after one of her ancestors and starts to write. Discovering her novel contains more than she researched, Carrie wonders if this is ancestral memory – making her the only living person to know what truly happened all those years ago. With each new chapter she uncovers the secrets of the past in a sweeping tale of love, loyalty and ultimate betrayal. Praise for Susanna Kearsley: ‘A deeply engaging romance and a compelling historical novel’ Bernard Cornwell, author of The Last Kingdom ‘An epic...

Historical Memoirs of My Own Time

Autor: Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall

Número de Páginas: 516

"Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall, 1st Baronet (8 April 1751 ? 7 November 1831) was an English author....He visited Portugal and was presented to the court, of which he gives a curious account in his Historical Memoirs; and in the north of Europe he made the acquaintance of several Danish nobles who had been exiled for their support of the deposed Queen Caroline Matilda, sister of George III. Wraxall at their suggestion undertook to endeavour to persuade the king to act on her behalf. He was able to secure an interview with her at Zell in September 1774. His exertions are told in his Posthumous Memoirs. As the queen died on 11 May 1775, his schemes came to nothing and he complained that he was out-of-pocket, but George III took no notice of him for some time."--Wikipedia.
