In 1918 the Danube Monarchy ceased to exist and its provinces became parts of the Monarchys successor states, which increasingly assumed the character of nation-states. The regimes of these countries were usually oblivious and/or hostile to remnants of the erstwhile Austrian rule due to ideological reasons: they treated them as traces of a superimposed imperial power and an alien democratic, pluralistic, liberal tradition. Notwithstanding that fact, erasing the Habsburg Empire from maps of Europe did not entail the entire cancelation of its legacy on the former Habsburg territories. Although officially neglected or suppressed, this legacy made itself felt, overtly or tacitly, in discourses present in the public sphere of the countries that superseded the Monarchy.

La ciudad, especialmente en la Baja Edad Media, constituye un espacio de atracción para la nobleza. Un espacio donde instala sus casas-palacio e incorpora sus prácticas clientelares, y en cuyo aparato de toma de decisiones procura hacerse presente. Pero, sobre todo, un espacio urbano que ambiciona, que procura ocupar alli y donde puede, y cuyo alfoz, en todo caso, somete a practicas de usurpacion, de violencia y tension por momentos permanentes en ciertas areas de la geografia castellana. Aunque esta violencia esta ampliamente documentada, las relaciones de la nobleza y el mundo urbano no transitaron solo caminos de conflicto. En paralelo a los alineamientos politicos a los que en cada momento se incorporan los linajes nobles en el marco de la alta politica del reino, surgio tambien una cierta capacidad para la cooperacion, la ayuda mutua y la solidaridad (relativamente desinteresadas) entre nobles y ciudades. Esta obra se ocupa de algunos de los elementos teoricos que un analisis de este tipo de relaciones (conflictivas, cooperativas, neutras) ha de alcanzar: los aspectos mas politicos del marco de relaciones que se construye alrededor de las conexiones entre ciudad y nobleza, y monarquia; las implicaciones de contenido economico que aquellas conllevaron; y la formulacion de algunos modelos discursivos en los que se sustentaron dichas relaciones.

With eleven new contributions, this second edition of essays on the sources and principles of Dominican values in education offers an extended sample of the many settings in which Dominican education, broadly understood, finds expression. Cherished by all Dominicans, these values are exemplified not only in the lives of well-known foundational Dominicans, but also in some of those many others who, on every continent and across time, have responded in typically Dominican ways at key moments in history. Educators, activists, philosophers, teachers, preachers, artists, healers and theologians at many levels share their analyses and reflections on educating in many different contexts, explicitly and implicitly demonstrating ideals and values common to the goals of Dominican education everywhere. It is hoped that this collection, offered again in this decade of Dominican Jubilee--1206-1216 to 2006- 2016--will inform, inspire and encourage all those engaged in the great work of educating not only youth but people of all ages towards greater life and liberty.

Tloha es una palabra del idioma Sesoto, que se habla en un pequeño país africano, y que significa El Olvido."Desde el reino de Tloha" es eso, el intento de encerrar en la palabra la vida de un escritor y preservarla asi de la aniquilacion total que supone el olvido, un intento vano de tocar la trascendencia.Mediante un diario, ora en El Otero, Toledo, ora en Monteprincipe, Madrid, ora en El valle del Marinero, Marte, el escritor va describiendo los cambios que su vida va tomando al acercarse a su fin: por un lado con los achaques propios de la ancianidad - incontinencia, impotencia, etc. -, por otro con la perdida cognitiva de su esposa, que le lleva directamente y angustiosamente a releer todo lo escrito desde los tiempos de la transicion hasta finales de 2017, que es el momento historico en el que se situa la linea temporal principal de la novela."Desde el reino de Tloha" es la obra completa que Santiago Solano Grande ha ido urdiendo durante mas de cuarenta y cinco años, una novela de libros, una biografia de lo escrito, un repaso a la historia de España. Es tambien poesia, con anotaciones criticas de grandes personajes reales de la vida literaria de finales del XX y principios del XXI, relatos, cuentos breves, muy breves, micro relatos, novelas de ciencia ficcion: una Inteligencia Artificial en forma de bicicleta que toma conciencia ante las murallas de Toledo, un superviviente de la Humanidad, Elias Quimey, medio hombre, medio maquina, que busca en el oceano de datos post humanos la esencia de la Humanidad, y que termina descubriendo que la muerte tambien existe para el.En definitiva, "Desde el reino de Tloha" es una tetralogia que se va mas alla de las 1500 paginas, un lugar magico en el que lo real se viste con el manto de lo imaginado y no parece tal. O si prefieres un mundo imaginario que parece la intrahistoria de una realidad que se ha ido para siempre.

Argentina y conquista del Río de la Plata (Lisboa, 1602) de Martín del Barco Centenera es uno de los pocos testimonios de las acciones imperiales en el Río de la Plata y el único cantado en octavas reales. El autor, que vivio un cuarto de siglo en la region, no critica la fundacion del imperio en si mismo, pero ni tiene una vision complaciente de los conquistadores ni los reivindica.A lo largo de sus paginas se cuentan intrigas de las autoridades, levantamientos indigenas, rebeliones mestizas, ataques piratas... desde una mirada sarcastica muy personal. Experiencia propia y leyendas, pasado inmediato que busca mitificarse y universo contemporaneo, son los elementos propios de este poema transgresor que ha aportado numerosisimas referencias al imaginario colonial rioplatense, incluso desde el siglo XIX en adelante.La Argentina hasta ahora ha conocido distintas versiones, algunas muy manipuladas, a lo largo de los siglos. Esta edicion critica fija el texto a partir de la princeps de 1602 y por primera vez aclara en su anotacion una indispensable cantidad de datos historicos, linguisticos, geograficos, etnograficos, zoologicos, literarios, etc.

The period of the Julio-Claudian principate, with Romes transition from Republic to Empire and the rise of an imperial dynasty, marks a fascinating episode of historical change in Roman history. It saw the establishment and consolidation of a new political system that fundamentally altered Romes political landscape, its socio-economic structures, cultural identity, and its relations with the wider Mediterranean world.This volume brings together ten essays offering fresh perspectives on key aspects of this transformative era. Representing a wide range of disciplines, the authors shed light on the nature, fluidity, and plasticity of the early principate and the new realities it shaped. They discuss traditional terminology and periodization, the distinctive discourses and policies of the Julio-Claudian emperors, and the role of individuals and institutions in shaping the processes of transformation. They also analyze the development of traditional offices and the emergence of new structural features, as well as the ways in which contemporaries and later historians perceived this period of change and crafted the narratives of one-man rule.

Autocannon is a comprehensive history of the development of automatic cannon and their ammunition from the end of the nineteenth century up to the present day. A brief history of their development is followed by sections examining the basic principles of gun and ammunition design, including various unconventional systems. Next comes a survey of cartridges in calibre order, from 20mm to 57mm, including not only ammunition that has seen service, but also a wide range of experimental types. Finally there is a survey of the cannon, grouped by nationality, which again includes many experimental models. The book includes data on about 200 different cartridges and 400 cannon, and has nearly 500 illustrations. It is the culmination of decades of research, and is unmatched in its coverage of this subject.

From Guilt to Responsibility and Beyond tackles the ever-controversial topic of German security and defence policy from the perspective of strategic culture. In particular, it describes the way in which German strategic culture the ways of thinking and acting in terms of peace and war has gradually changed after the end of the Cold War. The book delivers a comprehensive picture of the evolution of German strategic culture from the end of the Second World War to present times with a focus on Post-Cold War events. It also discusses hitherto unexplored ways and methods of how to study continuity and change in strategic culture e.g. through counterfactual thought experiments. The book offers a novel scientific-philosophical take on strategic culture based on Critical Realism and concludes that a combination of present and past experiences of warfare is one of the key generative mechanisms in facilitating strategic cultural change.

This e-book gathers eight papers devoted to specific aspects of Ciceros engagement with Roman religion, and seeks to make a wider contribution to the understanding of Ciceros work as historical evidence. By engaging with religion as a fundamental factor of social cohesion and political stability, both in his theoretical works and his speeches, Cicero shaped a wide-ranging and ambitious discourse around themes and images that were firmly located in first-century BCE Rome. His contribution also proved very influential in the centuries to come.The volume focuses on the relationship between law, religion, and religious authority in Cicero; the interplay between divine images, ritual contexts, and the conceptualization of the divine; Ciceros construction of a Greek deity for a Roman audience; the role of religious elements in the shaping of a Roman political identity; the tension between natural law and Roman pietas; the problem of divine and human foresight; the relationship between theoretical views of the gods and late Republican public cult; and the reception, use, and readaptation of Ciceronian theology in the English Enlightenment.

The history of European integration has always known "external states" that did not want or were not able to join the process of European integration. The EU might indeed not be seen as attractive: Since 2008, it has had to face many crises, first the financial crisis, then the migration and Schengen crises in 2015, and finally the "leave" vote in Great Britain in 2016, the so-called "Brexit". Euro-skepticism has continually increased in EU-member states as the rejection of various EU treaties proved. On national as well as EU levels, the strength of anti-European parties has grown. The present volume, edited by Birte Wassenberg and Patrick Moreau, concentrates on these "external states", particularly their attitude towards Europe. By looking at the geopolitical context, a wide range from historical constants to a changing of attitudes is shown and proves that the EU remains a fundamental actor of European politics and that its attraction continues to be very powerful.

This volume discusses Mamluk historical texts with an emphasis on literary/stylistic analysis, basically ignoring issues of factuality versus fictivity. None of the authors set out to write fiction; nor would their audience have received their accounts as such. The events depicted were a matter of historical record; but their meaning was geared both to contemporary and to general concerns. The fact of telling them is part and parcel of the historians task; the means of telling them has to do with the historians choice of style; and style is all-important in conveying meaning. Were these accounts not considered true, the purpose behind their telling and the meaning they convey, would, arguably, be lost; but were they not told in the most effective manner, their meaning might not be clearly grasped.

Athenaeus Mechanicus the surname differentiates him from better-known homonyms wrote a treatise on Greek siege-machinery. Uniquely in the genre, it combined general cultural erudition, historical survey, and This is the works first English translation, and the first commentary in any language. Athenaeus is argued to be a Cilician ex-statesman living in Rome in the 20s B.C. and striving, like his contemporary Vitruvius, for imperial patronage there.As regards the treatise itself, it is here evaluated from the perspectives not only of ancient history and philology but also engineering. This highlights the skill of an early-Hellenistic practitioner like Diades, who served Alexander the Great; but it also reveals how, in a later age, workable ideas could no longer be distinguished from wishful thinking the latter a category to which Athenaeus himself proudly made his own contributions.

Molossia is perhaps most famous as the kingdom of the third-century warlord Pyrrhus. The Inscriptions of Dodona and A New History of Molossia re-examines the non-oracular stone and bronze inscriptions, re-dating some of the most important to the third century BC rather than the fourth.This re-dating in turn forms the basis of the new history presented here. In this history are stressed the primacy of the king, who ruled a kingdom rather than a federal league; the minimal extent of Molossian "expansion" in the fourth century BC; the likelihood that there was indeed no federal league, only a type of amphictyony administering the sanctuary of Dodona, before 232 BC; the continuing relationship of allied association rather than incorporation between the Molossians with their neighbors; the interference of the Macedonians as a catalyst for the coalescence of Molossian identity; and the way events of the third century paved the way for the establishment of a federal league after the death of the last monarch in 232 BC.This history substantially reshapes our understanding of this part of the Hellenistic world, and of the early history of federal leagues in Greece.

Medical Imaging plays a prominent role in contemporary medical research and practice. At the same time imaging in its broadest sense, including illustration, diagramming, model-making, photography and other forms of image rendering, has a long tradition in medicine. Imaging has served different purposes ranging from depicting to backing concepts or creating convincing evidence. Thus, imaging the human body has different aspects not only related to techniques or current interpretations of visual representations through medical imaging technologies. The way the human body was and is displayed in medicine also reflects a range of cultural, historical, artistic and scientific concerns.Therefore, the editors of this e-book organized an international interdisciplinary conference in 2010 to bring together perspectives on Medical Imaging from medicine, philosophy, history and arts. This e-book summarizes the results of this interdisciplinary conference including representative examples of what was presented and discussed. It offers stimulating papers addressing readers interested in the status of medical images and their interpretation by different disciplines.

The Temple of Seti I at Abydos is is one of the great monuments of the New Kingdom. Rosalie Davids book, last printed more than 30 years ago, offers a guide to its magnificent reliefs and wall paintings, explaining the scenes of ritual and worship. This new edition will, for the first time, also include some of the outstanding watercolours by Amice Calverley and Myrtle Broome that were published between 1933 and 1958.

Richard B. Seager excavated the Minoan cemetery at Pseira in 1907, but the work was never published. The Temple University excavations (1985-1994) under the direction of Philip P. Betancourt and Costis Davaras conducted an intensive surface survey of the cemetery area, cleaned and drew plans of all visible tombs, and excavated tombs that had not been previously excavated. The results of the cemetery excavations on the small island off the northeast coast of Crete are published in two volumes. Pseira VI publishes the methodology that was employed for the investigation, the topography of the cemetery area, the little that can be reconstructed of Seagers campaign, the ceramic petrography for the cemetery pottery, and the results of the intensive surface survey. The survey shows that the cemetery was first used in the Neolithic period, and it was abandoned in Middle Minoan II, before the expansion of the nearby town in LM I. It also demonstrates that the cemetery was larger than the area suggested by the 33 tombs found by Seager, and it shows that the customs included burial in jars, even though no examples have been excavated.

This book is the first of a three-volume study of the structures and objects discovered during nine seasons of excavations (2017-2025) within the Ramesses II temple precinct conducted under the direction of Sameh Iskander. This volume contains five chapters organized in two parts; the first presents in three chapters a clear understanding of the precinct site, its extant architectural mud-brick structures outside the stone temple, and a careful investigation of the archeological objects and ceramic data obtained from the excavation. The second part focuses on the data obtained from the excavation of a mysterious mixed deposit of materials that were brought from unknown locations and dumped in one of the temples magazines (S15). This deposit offers new insights into our understanding of Abydos, a site rich in historical and archaeological significance.

The storage of staples and its importance for the functioning of Cretan Bronze Age society has become an active topic of debate. This study reassesses the intrinsic relationship between storage and sociopolitical complexity by combining testimonies on the storage of staples from palatial, nonpalatial elite, and ordinary domestic contexts dated to the LM I period. The main goals are (1) to examine a wide range of information concerned with the storage of staples; (2) to develop a comprehensive model to explain how storage strategies operate within LM I societies; and (3) to infer sociopolitical and socio-economic levels of interaction among the different social sectors operating within LM I societies (mainly LM IB societies).
