Over the past fifty years, Nigel West has been involved in almost every espionage-related investigation, breakthrough or revelation that you can think of. His molehunts have led to the unmasking of spies within MI5, MI6 and the CIA and the identification of numerous others some of whom were crucial to the Allied victory in the Second World War and would have died without any public recognition if not for him.His first encounter with the intelligence community was a lecture given at his school by John le Carre, the guest of a Benedictine monk who had recently retired from MI6. Later, West worked as a researcher for SOE agent Ronnie Seth, who was sentenced to death by the Nazis after being captured during Operation blunderhead, and exposed two of the Cambridge spies recruited by Anthony Blunt. For the fortieth anniversary of the D-Day landings, West traced the double agent codenamed garbo and brought him to London so he could be decorated at Buckingham Palace.As action-packed as the lives of the spies he has written about, this is the story of the most enthralling and significant post-war intelligence revelations as told by Britains most authoritative writer on espionage and the secret services.

Warfare, Raiding and Defence in early medieval Britain is an examination of warfare in the period AD400-850, often called the Dark Ages, which is roughly the period between the end of Roman rule and the arrival of large Viking armies. It uses written sources, archaeological evidence and surviving features in the landscape to analyse the nature of warfare in those days, paying particular attention to the large defensive earthworks typical of the period. Luckily these earthworks survive long after the warriors have turned to dust; their locations in the landscape are mute witness to the nature of early medieval warfare. This period helped forge and mould the nations of modern Britain. This book shows that raiding was the driving force behind the political, cultural and linguistic changes that affected post-Roman Britain, and provides a picture of how raids and counter-raiding measures worked in practice.

The authorities told folk what they ought to believe, but what did they really believe? Throughout Scottish history, people have believed in fairies. They were a part of everyday life, as real as the sunrise, and as incontrovertible as the existence of God. While fairy belief was only a fragment of a much larger complex, the implications of studying this belief tradition are potentially vast, revealing some understanding of the worldview of the people of past centuries. This book, the first modern study of the subject, examines the history and nature of fairy belief, the major themes and motifs, the demonising attack upon the tradition, and the attempted reinstatement of the reality of fairies at the end of the seventeenth century, as well as their place in ballads and in Scottish literature.

The Book of Proverbs asks : who can find a valiant woman? (Proverbs 31:10). The text goes on to describe a woman who displays endurance, courage and resilience. Are not these the characteristics that Queenslanders have recognised in their own home-grown Sisters of Perpetual Adoration? Always a relatively small group, and despite what might be judged as overwhelming odds, these women achieved the seemingly impossible. People might judge that it was through sheer persistence and hard work that they succeeded. But there is only one source from which such energy can be found, and that is Love. Eucharist, the Sacrament of Love, tells us of life given, love poured out for the life of the other. This is what the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration learned as they spent hours each day in the company of the Sacrament of Love and then took that Love to others in the nitty-gritty of lifes realities. It is what we, too, can learn, as we enter into the story of the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

Jewish life in early modern Poland was characterized by an adherence to Jewish law (halakhah) that Polish Jewry had inherited from medieval Franco-German Jewry, and almost all aspects of Jewish activity, even the most personal of matters, fell within its purview. Jewish law remained constant throughout the ages in some areas, but in others rabbis were forced to reinterpret it in light of the complexities of contemporary life. Edward Fram draws upon the ordinances of Polish Jewrys political leadership, Polish legal records, and the responsa of some of the outstanding poseqim of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to show how Polish jurists responded to those complexities. His case studies, gleaned from a period of exceptional creativity in the annals of Polish Jewry, deal with weddings on the Sabbath, the rights of daughters to familial wealth, women in the marketplace, the personal reliability of those who dealt in the sale of kosher wine, competition among Jews for sources of livelihood obtained through leases (arendy), the transfer and payment of personal debts via bills payable to bearers (membrany), and personal insolvency. Concerned with the needs of the underprivileged as well as those of the marketplace, these rabbis struggled to maintain the integrity of Jewish communal life and to preserve the tradition they perceived to represent divine law. Particularly in commerce, failure to observe Jewish law or at least the independent direction taken by the lay leadership often became the basis for communal legislation and practice. Fram shows how the Polish community, at times consciously and at times unconsciously, transformed some of its traditional values until they may have been unrecognizable to Jews from an earlier age..

Eleonore Heerwart wurde als herausragende Vertreterin der fruhen Frobelbewegung von Freunden in Deutschland und Amerika gebeten, die Erinnerungen ihrer mehr als 50-jahrigen Wirksamkeit als Frobel-Padagogin aufzuschreiben.Sie schreibt daruber:Das Interesse meiner padagogischen Freunde knupft sich nicht an meine Person, sondern an Frobel, dessen Erziehungsweise ich mich seit 1853 unausgesetzt gewidmet habe und daher mein Leben wie ein Faden durchzieht. In derselben Zeit entwickelten sich die in seinem Sinne errichteten Anstalten, namentlich die Kindergarten und Bildungsanstalten fur Kindergartnerinnen, sodass ich das Wachstum von kleinen Anfangen bis zu der jetzigen Verbreitung mit erlebt habe.Die Selbstzeugnisse Eleonore Heerwarts belegen, wie sie die fur eine Frau um 1850 bestehenden Hurden uberwand und zu einer weltweit bekannten und hoch geachteten Expertin und Protagonistin der Kindergartenbewegung wurde.Ihr Einfluss darauf, dass die Kindergarten-Idee Friedrich Frobels heute weltweit verbreitet ist und somit faktisch zum kulturellen Erbe der Menschheit gehort, kann gar nicht hoch genug eingeschatzt werden.Kinder auf der ganzen Welt eint, dass sie in einen Kindergarten gehen. Wie bedeutsam fur eine Welt, in der sich wieder Zwietracht breit machen mochte.

A un anno dallimprovvisa scomparsa del Professor Giuseppe Dalla Torre, non pochi hanno ripercorso i suoi prestigiosi incarichi nellUniversita, nella comunita accademica italiana e internazionale, nella Curia romana e nello Stato della Citta del Vaticano, e ne hanno ricordato le qualita intellettuali e umane nonche la sterminata produzione scientifica. Ce tuttavia un profilo della sua versatile personalita che forse e rimasto in ombra: quello legato alla sua attivita giornalistica, invero assai protratta e fertilissima.Probabilmente a causa del pregiudizio per il quale scrivere sui giornali o interfacciarsi con i mass media, per lapproccio piu semplice e divulgativo con cui le materie vengono affrontate, rientri in una sorta di dimessa arte minore cui i docenti si dedicano a tempo perso: quasi un leggero diversivo rispetto alla piu scrupolosa e severa stesura di testi rigorosamente scientifici. Per converso Giuseppe Dalla Torre, sin dalla giovinezza, mai ha disdegnato di applicarsi allelaborazione di articoli giornalistici, in particolare per il quotidiano Avvenire: scendendo dalla cattedra universitaria e rivolgendosi con immediatezza al lettore della testata di ispirazione cattolica, per illustrare, con linearita logica e chiarezza concettuale, lautentica sostanza dei problemi trattati in tutti i loro risvolti, specie giuridici, piu controversi. Attraverso la lettura di questi articoli su argomenti quanto mai eterogenei - sintetici e quasi lapidari, come postulato dal genere letterario - emerge lavvincente itinerario ultratrentennale della vivace militanza, nella compagine ecclesiale e nella societa civile, di un giurista cattolico che non ha mai, anche nelle condizioni di piu aspro scontro su differenti fronti, abdicato al suo munus - diremmo canonisticamente - genuinamente laicale di animazione cristiana delle realta temporali, secondo il magistero piu vivido del Vaticano II. Il volume, riproponendo molti di tali interventi e corredandoli di brevi analisi di suoi allievi, diretti e indiretti, auspica di dar conto di questo aspetto sinora poco indagato, e invece cosi pregnante, della sua opera.A cura di Geraldina Boni

En esta obra se propicia un acercamiento al universo escriturario de la Edad Moderna de la mano de los escribanos públicos y de sus producciones documentales. En relación a los actores ejecutantes de la fides publica, se analizara su condicion social desde diversos prismas y fuentes, historicas y literarias, asi como el proceso de aprendizaje de su oficio y formacion previa adquirida. En relacion a los instrumentos publicos facturados en sus tiendas de escribania, se focalizara el analisis en aspectos tales como el proceso de expedicion documental, los caracteres extrinsecos e intrinsecos del documento notarial y el analisis de algunos modelos documentales especificos. Entre ellos, la carta de perdon de cuernos, los fletamentos o los documentos de prohijamiento, tutela y aprendiz, testimonios exclusivos todos para desentrañar los parametros sociales y el funcionamiento civil de la Modernidad.

El surgimiento de las diputaciones andaluzas y su evolución institucional van unidas a la historia de cada una de las Constituciones que, a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX, han regido en España. Casi al mismo tiempo, se iniciaba en Europa un sistema de recompensas que formaria parte del acervo normativo de estas nuevas instituciones.Si bien en los archivos encontramos documentacion que nos refieren la entrega de galardones a distintas personas a lo largo del siglo XIX, no seria hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XX cuando se codifican estos reconocimientos mediante una reglamentacion expresa que recoge las categorias de las condecoraciones y el procedimiento que se debe seguir para su otorgamiento.Los sucesivos reglamentos que han existido en cada Diputacion muestran la idiosincrasia de ese organismo, son una normativa viva, que nos revelan la evolucion de los valores de la sociedad en la que se inserta a lo largo del tiempo y que promueven la comunicacion bidireccional de estas entidades provinciales con sus administrados ejemplificando, a traves de su concesion, los valores contenidos en la Constitucion Española de 1978.Con esta obra se ha pretendido realizar un acercamiento a una realidad que siempre ha estado presente en todos los estamentos de la Administracion. Si bien existen estudios sobre las condecoraciones a nivel estatal, para el caso de las entidades locales, no habia ninguna fuente de informacion que pudiera acercar a los investigadores a la faceta mas humana de las corporaciones locales como son los reglamentos de honores y distinciones.Margarita Parrilla Amador es doctora en Historia Contemporanea y licenciada en Historia del Arte por la Facultad de Geografia e Historia de la Universidad de Sevilla asi como graduada en Protocolo y Relaciones Institucionales por la Universidad de Granada.Cuenta con experiencia docente tanto en universidades, organismos publicos y empresas privadas, dedicando sus investigaciones al protocolo y ceremonial y, en concreto, a la historia de la normativa de honores y distinciones en entidades locales.Ha participado en numerosos congresos internacionales de protocolo y comunicacion, jornadas de historia local y seminarios sobre relaciones institucionales.

François Rupert Carabin (1862-1932) wurde insbesondere wegen seiner erotischen Bronzen und Holzschnitzkunst an Mobelstucken und seiner kuriosen Kunstwerke beruhmt und gilt im kunstgeschichtlichen Ruckblick als einer der wichtigsten avantgardistischen Kunsthandwerker, Mobeldesigner und Bildhauer seiner Zeit. Er lebte und arbeitete in Paris, war aber auch Mitglied der Wiener Secession und hat seit deren erster Ausstellung dort immer wieder seine eigene Kunst ausgestellt. Weniger bekannt ist, dass Carabin auch Delegierter der Wiener Secession war und in deren Auftrag Werke anderer franzosischer Kunstler fur die Wiener Secession beschaffte.Dieses Buch enthalt die gesamte Korrespondenz von Carabin mit der Wiener Secession. Diese betrifft nicht nur die Prasenz seiner eigenen Kunst in Wien, sondern auch seine Tatigkeiten als Delegierter und Kunstmanager der Wiener Secession. Besonders aufgrund letzterer Tatigkeiten fur die Wiener Secession wurde Carabin ein wichtiges Bindeglied zwischen Paris und Wien fur die Verbreitung des franzosischen Impressionismus und der franzosischen Avantgarde. Fur Wien wurde er sogar einer der Hauptakteure innerhalb des Beziehungsnetzes fur die Ankunft dieser Kunst in Wien um 1900 und damit von groer Bedeutung fur den engeren kunstgeschichtlichen Themenkreis `Wien um 1900. Als bestens vernetzter Kunstler und Kunstfunktionar stand Carabin mit Kunstlern, Kunstinstitutionen, Kunstsammlern, Kunsthandlern, Kunstschriftstellern, Spediteuren und anderen Personen und Institutionen in Kontakt. In seinen Schreiben an die Wiener Secession berichtet er der Wiener Secession davon und in wie er sich fur die Beschaffung von Werken von herausragendsten Kunstlern wie Degas, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Signac, Vuillard und vielen anderen fur die Wiener Secession einsetzte.

Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), Revolutionar, Sozialist und faschistischer Diktator, ist fur ein tragisches und folgenschweres Kapitel in der Geschichte Italiens verantwortlich. Einerseits gelang es ihm durch seine pragmatische und zugleich skrupellose Innen- und Auenpolitik, den Italienern ein Gefuhl von trugerischer Groe und internationaler Bedeutung zu geben, andererseits fuhrte er sie in einen Abgrund historischen Ausmaes. Dieses Buch erzahlt die Geschichte seines politischen Lebens, zeichnet die Entwicklung des faschistischen Italiens nach und verknupft dies mit den dramatischen Ereignissen im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Diese gut verstandliche Biographie Mussolinis zeigt, wie ein Einzelner ein ganzes Volk manipulieren und dessen Schicksal fehlleiten kann.

Willy Brandts altester Sohn Peter erinnert sich an seinen Vater als Politiker und Privatmann, der noch in den 1980er-Jahren eine der umstrittensten Personlichkeiten in Deutschland war. Und er schreibt uber das "liebevolle, aber nicht ganz einfache Verhaltnis zweier sperriger Menschen". Peter Brandt verbindet die familieninterne Sicht mit dem analytischen Blick des Historikers. So entstand zum 100. Geburtstag von Willy Brandt am 18. Dezember 2013 keine Biographie im herkommlichen Sinne sondern ein Essay, der Privates und Politisches gemeinsam deutet und bislang weniger bekannte Zuge dieser Jahrhundertgestalt mit kritischer Zuneigung herausarbeitet.

En México, así como en América Latina, la historia de los movimientos de protesta de los años 1960 y 1970 consagró la figura del estudiante revolucionario. A pesar de ello, el estudiante en situación revolucionaria no ha sido el objeto de estudio sino de muy pocos analisis. De manera provocativa, este libro propone una nueva lectura de la Revolucion Mexicana, de 1910 a mediados de los años 1940, a traves de los movimientos y organizaciones estudiantiles. Defiende la idea de que la Revolucion favorecio el surgimiento de un movimiento estudiantil fuerte y perenne, organizado a escala nacional y activo a nivel internacional. Desde su creacion, el movimiento estudiantil -que no se limitaba a las universidades sino que englobaba tambien a los alumnos de las escuelas normales y tecnicas- lucho por la reforma de la educacion. Se apropio la idea revolucionaria y su programa nacionalista, social y antiimperialista. Mediante las primeras relaciones internacionales estudiantiles, los jovenes mexicanos se volvieron propagandistas de la Revolucion y defensores de la "Raza iberoamericana" tanto en America Latina como en España. "Este libro nos permite capturar el fantasma de la clase estudiantil y quitarle el velo. Mediante una investigacion que combina instituciones, ideas, contextos y practicas, Robinet reconstruye un periodo decisivo en la historia de los movimientos estudiantiles mexicanos, cuando el radicalismo estudiantil acompañaba todavia el impulso revolucionario del gobierno" (Pablo Piccato).

Wenn Walter Trefz erzahlte, war es, als klinge in seiner Stimme das Raunen und Rauschen des gesamten Schwarzwaldes mit. Als ein Wald- und Umweltschutzer der ersten Stunde, im Kampf gegen den Sauren Regen, im groen Streit um Gift, Kalk und Ozon wurde der Revierforster Trefz fur viele zum charismatischen Aufklarer. Fur andere blieb er zeitlebens der Oko-Spinner, ein renitenter Provokateur und Storenfried. Der Walder stand weit uber seine Heimat hinaus und schon sehr fruh fur ein radikales Umdenken: weniger Chemie, weniger Technik. Wildnis statt Wirtschaftswald. Und insbesondere: echte, tiefe Verbundenheit mit allem, was lebt, wachst und im fortwahrenden Kreislauf vergeht. Uber Jahre war Annette Rieger immer wieder Gast in seinem Haus auf dem Kniebis und hat seinen Erzahlungen gelauscht, auerdem Gesprache mit Wegbegleiterinnen und Wegbegleitern gefuhrt. Was sie erzahlt, ist die Geschichte ihres Walders, eine sehr personliche Lebensgeschichte des Forsters, Lebensphilosophen und Widerstandlers Walter Trefz, gleichzeitig ein Blick hinter die Kulissen von fruher Umweltbewegung, Forstwirtschaft und Tourismus im Schwarzwald.

Esarhaddon, King of Assyria continues Josette Elayis narrative journey through the lives of the kings of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Using both archaeological and textual evidence, Elayi examines the contentious circumstances surrounding Esarhaddons accession to the throne in 681 BCE, his rebuilding of Babylon, which had been destroyed by his father Sennacherib, his successful campaigns in Media, the Arabian Peninsula, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and the Levant, and his ultimate achievement, the conquest of Egypt in 671 BCE. Throughout, Elayi presents a rich portrait of this enigmatic figure, whose short but impactful reign was plagued by chronic illness and a complex--and ultimately fatal--relationship with his court officials. Yet, through it all, Esarhaddon emerges as one of the most scholarly and most politically successful kings of the empire.

This is a unique and engaging book on prehistoric stone tools. It advocates an experiential approach in which analysts try to understand stone tool designs from the users perspectives, and employs a universal logic of designing tools to solve practical problems and evaluating various possible solutions. However, to do so it is also necessary to understand how stone can be mechanically modified to serve specific functions. The author enlists a rich array of ethnographic observations and considerable background as a flintknapper to show the basic ways in which stones can be flaked and modified and what these characteristics can reveal about prehistoric problem-solving strategies and design constraints. This is an invaluable primer for anyone contemplating the study of prehistoric stone tools."
