François W. Trafford La vista del mondo
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 15.20 € (+2.70 €)Nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento quando, attraverso l'invenzione delle rappresentazioni panoramiche, dei grandi globi e della fotografia, esplode la diffusione dell'immagine geografica, in una tersa mattina di primavera un ignoto viaggiatore, salito sul monte a picco sul mare di Porto Venere e delle Cinque Terre, assiste a un fenomeno straordinario: l'amphiorama, ovvero la vista dell'intero pianeta. Darà poi alle stampe la descrizione dei particolari realistici e inauditi delle terre che la visione gli aveva mostrato: le isole mediterranee e gli esotici arcipelaghi tropicali, le sconfinate distese della taiga e dei deserti asiatici, gli altipiani africani e perfino il Polo artico del quale descrive ogni anfratto disegnandone la \"vera\" mappa... Artificio letterario sotto la suggestione del passaggio di una cometa o frutto di una follia geografica? In questo libro viene rivelata l'identità dell'autore e ricostruita la genesi di un testo - di cui si propone la traduzione completa che da allora non ha cessato di impressionare i lettori.

L J Trafford Ancient Rome's Worst Emperors
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 37.76 €Between 27 BCE and 476 CE a series of men became Roman Emperor, ruling a domain that stretched across Europe, North Africa and the Near East. Some of them did this rather well, expanding Rome’s territories further, installing just laws and maintaining order within the city. Others, however, were distinctly less successful at the job.\n\nAncient Rome’s Worst Emperors takes an engaging and amusing look at the mad, the bad and the catastrophically incompetent of Rome’s rulers. From the sadistically cruel Caligula to the hopelessly weak Valentinian II, there were many who failed dismally at the top job for a variety of reasons.\n\nBut what qualifies someone as a worst emperor?\n\nWhat evidence is there to support it?\n\nAnd should we believe any of it?\n\nJoin us on a tour of the very worst leadership ancient Rome has to offer as we delve into sadistic acts of cruelty, paranoia run rampant, poor decision-making skills and the danger of being the wrong man at the wrong time.

Peter Strafford Romanesque Churches of Spain: A Traveller's Guide
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 22.66 € (+2.70 €)The widespead and numerous Romanesque churches in the northern half of Spain rival those of France for their distinctiveness and originality and for their remarkable sculpture. They were mainly built between about 1000 and 1200 and mirror the progressive rolling back of Islamic power in the long reconquista, first of all along the north coast and in Catalonia, which was only occupied by the Muslims for about a hundred years, and then in Leon and Castile. Their architectural styles vary greatly from region to region, and some of them contain fine frescoes as well. Romanesque style introduced the first revival of the art of sculpture since Roman times, and in Spain there good examples of decorative carving as far back as the seventh century. It was the age of pilgrimages and many of the churches were founded along the pilgrim routes from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, which are popular destinations for travellers in Spain today.\nRomanesque Churches of Spain, which covers a hundred and twenty churches in Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre and the Basque Country, Cantabria, Castile, Leon, Asturias and Galicia, and includes no less than twenty pre-Romanesque churches in the Visigothic, Asturian and Mozarabic styles of 600-1000, many with exotic features such as the horseshoe arch, is the first comprehensive book to be published on the subject. It is a perfect companion for travellers, with its ten maps and its regional arrangement, and will be a stimulus for the exploration of wild and remote areas that are unfamiliar to many people, especially across the Pyrenees and in the mountainous areas of Aragon, Cantabria and Asturias. It will also be invaluable as a reference book, with its 262 illustrations, for all those with a general interest in the history of Spanish architecture and sculpture, many of the churches possessing outstanding examples such as Santiago de Compostela, Jaca, Soria, Agramunt, Ripoll, Armentia, Estibaliz, Sanguesa, Santo Domingo de Silos and San Pedro de la Nave.\nPeter Strafford is a distinguished journalist who worked on the Times for more than three decades, including in Paris and Brussels, and was, among other things, the Times correspondent in New York for five years. His acclaimed Romanesque Churches of France has recently been reprinted.

Peter Strafford Romanesque Churches of France: A Traveller's Guide
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 21.33 € (+2.70 €)The Romanesque churches to be found in every corner of France are one of the wonders of Europe. They were built between about 1000 and 1200 and were contemporary with English Norman architecture. Their architectural style varies from region to region, as do their size, shape and layout. The period saw the first revival of the art of sculpture since Roman times, and many of the churches such as Moissac, Autun, Vezelay and Chauvigny contain outstanding sculpture. Some, like St-Savin-sur-Gartempe and Tavant, have superb frescoes, and a few like Ganagobie have fine mosaics. It was the age of pilgrimages and a number of the churches were built along the four great pilgrim routes through France to Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. Many have links to Romanesque churches in Italy, England and Germany, since Romanesque was a style that was admired throughout Europe. \"Romanesque Churches of France\", which covers a hundred or so churches in ten geographical sections from Normandy and Burgundy in the north to Provence, Roussillon and Languedoc in the south, is the first comprehensive book to be published on the subject.\nThis book is an ideal companion for travellers, with its many maps and its regional arrangement, and will be a stimulus for the exploration of remote and beautiful areas that are less familiar, such as Auvergne and the Pyrenees. It will also be invaluable as a reference book for all those with a general interest in the history of French architecture and sculpture.

James Trafford The Empire at Home: Internal Colonies and the End of Britain
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 29.68 €Modern Britain is forged through the redeployment of structures that facilitated and legitimized slavery, exploitation and extermination. This is the 'empire at home' and it is inseparable from the strategies of neo-colonial extraction and oppression of subjects abroad.\n\n\n\n\n\nHere, James Trafford develops the notion of internal colonies, arguing that methods and structures used in colonial rule are re-deployed internally in contemporary Britain in order to recreate and solidify imperial power relations. Using examples including housing segregation, targeted surveillance and counter-insurgency techniques used in the fight against terrorism, Trafford reveals Britain's internal colonialism to be a reactive mechanism to retain British sovereignty.\n\n\n\n\n\nAs politics appears limited by nationalism and protectionism, The Empire at Home issues a powerful challenge to contemporary politics, demanding that Britain as an imperial structure must end.

Jean Stafford Il puma
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 18.05 € (+2.70 €)Qualcosa di morboso e strisciante, che è del paesaggio, delle presenze che lo animano, degli interni di case occasionalmente trasformate in camere ardenti, accoglie il lettore di questo paradossale romanzo di formazione, in cui all’impossibilità di abbandonare l’infanzia si accompagna quella di rimanere bambini. Ralph e Molly, fratelli malaticci e simbiotici, alleati contro l’universo stereotipato degli adulti – l’ottusa routine scolastica e quotidiana, una madre perbenista e due affettate sorelle maggiori, il fronte compatto delle autorità –, dividono il loro tempo tra la casa di famiglia nei sobborghi di Los Angeles e un ranch in Colorado appartenente al fratellastro della madre. Qui ogni estate i piccoli vengono in contatto con un mondo selvaggio e brutale, che contrasta con l’inautentico ordine della vita suburbana. Ma se dapprima la rudezza e la libertà dell’Ovest affascinano entrambi, poi è solo Ralph a entrare nell’orbita in cui lo attirano lo zio e la sua cerchia, e ad accettare i riti di passaggio necessari a trasformarlo in giovane uomo. E mentre il fratello si sposta sempre più verso un immaginario virile fatto di battute di caccia e di grandi bevute, e vive di pari passo l’inevitabile risveglio della sessualità, Molly, bambina puntuta e sarcastica che anticipa alcuni personaggi di Shirley Jackson, si aggrappa disperatamente al mondo surreale dell’infanzia. L’apparizione nei dintorni del ranch di un puma femmina – animale elusivo e archetipico, nel segno della tradizione letteraria americana – sancirà la scissione definitiva del legame fraterno, precipitando la storia verso un impensabile epilogo.

Max Afford I morti non vedono
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 16.06 € (+2.70 €)Negli anni '40 la radio era il mezzo per le notizie e l'intrattenimento e non sorprende che molti autori di gialli usassero lo studio radiofonico come luogo ideale per omicidi e caos.

I due vanno \"nel backstage\" di uno studio radiofonico per vedere come viene presentata una commedia radiofonica e, proprio in quel momento, l'omicidio fa il suo debutto in onda.

Josh Ryan-Collins Why Can't You Afford a Home?
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 11.87 € (+2.70 €)Throughout the Western world, a whole generation is being priced out of the housing market. For millions of people, particularly millennials, the basic goal of acquiring decent, affordable accommodation is a distant dream.\n\n Leading economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that to understand this crisis, we must examine a crucial paradox at the heart of modern capitalism. The interaction of private home ownership and a lightly regulated commercial banking system leads to a feedback cycle. Unlimited credit and money flows into an inherently finite supply of property, which causes rising house prices, declining home ownership, rising inequality and debt, stagnant growth and financial instability. Radical reforms are needed to break the cycle. \n\nThis engaging and topical book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why they can't find an affordable home, and what we can do about it.
