 I papi: storia e segreti. Dalle biografie dei 264 romani pontefici rivivono retroscena e misteri della cattedra di Pietro tra antipapi, giubilei, conclavi e concili ecumenici. Vol.1-2 Newton & Compton Author: Claudio Rendina Biblioteca de IL Messaggero 2004 (1983) Language: Italiano Pages: 467 - 417 Format: Pdf Size: 68.37 mb Quality: good I papi: storia e segreti. Dalle biografie dei 264 romani pontefici rivivono retroscena e misteri della cattedra di Pietro tra antipapi, giubilei, conclavi e concili ecumenici. Vol.1-2 Attraverso le biografie dei 264 romani pontefici da S. Pietro a Giovanni Paolo II, viene presentato in questo volume lo sviluppo di quel «potere» emblematico che è il papato, nel suo doppio volto, temporale e spirituale: un modo di guardare al «vicario di Cristo» anche nel suo aspetto umano, accantonando in parte l'insegnamento ex cathedra e ridimensionando il mito del personaggio.
The Gentlemen's Clubs of London
 Author: Anthony LeJeune & Malcolm Lewis The Gentlemen's Clubs of London Bracken Book 1984 Format: PDF Size: 85.2 Mb Language: English Anthony Lejeune's "Gentlemen's Clubs of London" is simply the definitive guide to the subject matter. Lejeune provides wonderful capsule histories of each of the clubs, including notable members and personages associated with each club. His well-written text, photo-captions, and "informational text boxes" (which inject just the right amount of wit and humor) are impeccably factually correct (or at least were at publication time) and never dull. The photographs succeed in capturing many of the important architectural and interior features of each club. The detailed photos of wax seals and one-of-a-kind club treasures and mementos are particularly enjoyable. London's gentlemen's clubs, like most social organizations and institutions, have an ebb and flow of popularity and character, but fortunately not too much so. Lejeune has a wonderful ability to successfully convey the general character of each club. A separate chapter is devoted to each club, making this a wonderful coffee-table-sized book that one can dip into at random.

 Author: Clyde Haberman The New York Times The Times of the Seventies: The Culture, Politics, and Personalities that Shaped the Decade Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers 2013 Format: epub/pdf Size: 55.8 Mb Language: English There is no better record of events then The New York Times, and now, The Times of the Seventies captures the history, culture, and personalities of the decade through hundreds of hand-selected articles and compelling original commentary in this unique and fascinating book.

Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History ( 5 volume set)
 Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History Berkshire Publishing Group Author: William H. McNeill, Jerry Bentley and David Christian 2005 Pages: 2220 Format: PDF Size: 118 mb Language: English Grade 10 Up–Although the 538 articles in this set are arranged alphabetically, the approach is thematic, with entries and sidebars "showing connections and interactions, through trade, warfare, migration, religion, and diplomacy over time and place." Volume one opens with an overview of human history that serves as a guide to the Encyclopedia, and alphabetic and thematic lists of the entries appear in each book. Much prehistory is treated in this work, which bills itself as covering "250,000 years of human existence." However, readers may wonder why some subjects were included, or even given their own entry, and others weren't. For example, there is no entry for the Peloponnesian Wars, but the extensive index will lead students to information under entries for "Greece, Ancient," "International Organizations," "Oral History," "Thucydides," "Warfare, Naval," and "Engines of History." This last is an example of the somewhat obscure and/or unusual headings that sometimes appear. An up-to-date bibliography follows every article. The black-and-white photos are of uneven quality; many lack sufficient contrast. The maps included are insufficient to clarify the discussions of empires, countries, wars, and movements of peoples. This set would be useful as a supplement to general encyclopedias
