What makes a citizen a citizen? How do the values and practices of institutional and social life in ancient cities shape the identities of citizens? How did phenomena such as migration and the integration of foreigners into civic communities affect the discourse and reality of citizenship in the ancient Greek world? How was citizenship experienced beyond the polis?The contributions collected in this e-book attempt to answer such questions by fostering dialogue between scholars who have focused on the institutional aspects and those who have concentrated on the discursive and performative dimensions of Greek citizenship. It has become increasingly clear today that ancient Greek citizenship should be approached as a multifaceted phenomenon. Drawing on a wide range of source material, including inscriptions, material remains, and literary texts from Archaic Greece to the imperial period, this volume offers fresh insights into the institutions, practices and values that defined Greek citizenship status.

"Poucos sabem dos episódios que forjaram a bandeira que tremula altaneira no sul do Brasil e em diversos lugares, quando se celebram os feitos gaúchos, de ontem e de hoje. Porém, chegamos mais perto desta vez, seguindo os passos do viamonense Hildebrando de Freitas Pedroso, cuja vida nos revela, por suas proprias mos, a confecço de um raro afresco, peça radiante no mosaico dos construtores da patria rio-grandense."

The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli, is a 16th-century political treatise. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning politics and ethics. The Prince has the general theme of accepting that the aims of princessuch as glory and survivalcan justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends. Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavellis works and the one most responsible for bringing the word "Machiavellian" into usage as a pejorative. It even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries. In terms of subject matter it overlaps with the much longer Discourses on Livy, which was written a few years later. Machiavelli emphasized the need for realism, as opposed to idealism. Along with this, he stresses the difference between human-beings and animals since "there are two ways of contending, one in accordance with the laws, the other by force; the first of which is proper to men, the second to beast". In The Prince he does not explain what he thinks the best ethical or political goals are, except the control of ones own fortune, as opposed to waiting to see what chance brings. Machiavelli took it for granted that would-be leaders naturally aim at glory or honor. He associated these goals with a need for "virtue" and "prudence" in a leader, and saw such virtues as essential to good politics and indeed the common good. That great men should develop and use their virtue and prudence was a traditional theme of advice to Christian princes.

Der Furst von Niccolo Machiavelli ist eine politische Abhandlung aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Der Furst wird manchmal als eines der ersten Werke der modernen Philosophie, insbesondere der modernen politischen Philosophie, bezeichnet, in dem die effektive Wahrheit als wichtiger angesehen wird als jedes abstrakte Ideal. Es stand auch in direktem Widerspruch zu den damals vorherrschenden katholischen und scholastischen Lehren in Bezug auf Politik und Ethik. Der Furst hat das allgemeine Thema, dass die Ziele von Fursten wie Ruhm und Uberleben den Einsatz unmoralischer Mittel rechtfertigen konnen, um diese Ziele zu erreichen. Obwohl es relativ kurz ist, ist das Traktat das bekannteste von Machiavellis Werken und dasjenige, das am meisten dafur verantwortlich ist, dass das Wort machiavellistisch als abwertend in Gebrauch kam. Es trug sogar zu den modernen negativen Konnotationen der Worter Politik und Politiker in westlichen Landern bei. In Bezug auf das Thema uberschneidet es sich mit den viel langeren Discorsi sul Livio, die einige Jahre spater verfasst wurden. Machiavelli betonte die Notwendigkeit des Realismus im Gegensatz zum Idealismus. Gleichzeitig betont er den Unterschied zwischen Menschen und Tieren, da es zwei Arten des Kampfes gibt, eine in Ubereinstimmung mit den Gesetzen, die andere mit Gewalt; die erste ist den Menschen eigen, die zweite den Tieren. In Der Furst erklart er nicht, was seiner Meinung nach die besten ethischen oder politischen Ziele sind, auer der Kontrolle uber das eigene Vermogen, im Gegensatz zum Abwarten, was die Zukunft bringt. Machiavelli ging davon aus, dass angehende Anfuhrer von Natur aus nach Ruhm oder Ehre streben. Er verband diese Ziele mit dem Bedurfnis nach Tugend und Klugheit bei einem Anfuhrer und sah solche Tugenden als wesentlich fur eine gute Politik und in der Tat fur das Gemeinwohl an. Dass groe Manner ihre Tugend und Klugheit entwickeln und einsetzen sollten, war ein traditionelles Thema der Ratschlage an christliche Fursten.

Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh Roberts was a British Victorian era general who became one of the most successful British military commanders of his time. Born in India to an Anglo-Irish family, Roberts joined the East India Company Army and served as a young officer in the Indian Mutiny during which he was awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry. He was then transferred to the British Army and fought in the Expedition to Abyssinia and the Second Anglo-Afghan War, in which his exploits earned him widespread fame. Roberts would go on to serve as the Commander-in-Chief, India before leading British Forces for a year during the Second Boer War. He also became the last Commander-in-Chief of the Forces before the post was abolished in 1904. In this excellent short biography of Roberts, Walter Jerrold tells the tale of the legendary soldiers many exploits and victories across the British Empire.

Der Einsatz von Schmahschriften galt als weit verbreitetes Phanomen vormoderner Streitkultur. Die vorliegende Publikation tragt dazu bei, ein neues Licht auf die Strukturen und Dynamiken fruhneuzeitlicher Offentlichkeit zu werfen.Auf der Grundlage von Kriminalakten erstellte, mikrohistorische Fallstudien zeigen, wie diese ,libelli famosi eingesetzt und verbreitet wurden, welche Effekte sie zeitigten und wie Betroffene sich gegen die oft anonymen, offentlichkeitswirksamen Angriffe zur Wehr setzten. Die Analyse verdeutlicht daurber hinaus den Sonderstatus der Schriften im Repertoire der damaligen Mittel eines ehrbezogenen Konfliktaustrags, der bedingt war durch eine neuartige Offentlichkeitssensibilitat am Beginn der Fruhen Neuzeit, und verweist auf die Existenz einer offentlichen Meinung avant la lettre.

When the British Arctic Expedition set sail from Portsmouth on May 29, 1875, the explorers hoped to reach the highest latitude, and perhaps even approach the ever-elusive North Pole. It was believed that, should they successfully pass through Smith Sound, between Greenland and Canadas Ellesmere Island, they would encounter an Open Polar Sea free from troublesome ice. With this primary goal, three steamships set out across the stormy Atlantic only to immediately become separated by a violent cyclone, reconvening at Disko Bay on the western coast of Greenland some weeks later. Perhaps they could have interpreted this early inconvenience as a sign of the winter to come, or a warning that the Arctic waters are rarely kind. Regardless, the captains pressed on.In Shores of the Polar Sea, Edward L. Moss, an artist and esteemed Royal Navy Surgeon, records this journey from his first-hand seat in the belly of HMS Alert.Overall, the expedition was a near disaster. The men suffered badly from scurvy and were hampered by inappropriate clothing and equipment. Realizing that his men could not survive another winter in the ice, Nares hastily retreated southward with both his ships in the summer of 1876.In hopes of expanding Englands contribution to natural history, they captured, bottled, and preserved everything from brittle feather stars to small black spiders. And what they didnt capture for study, they killed en masse to consume. Carrying Winchester repeating rifles "murderous weapons for this sort of work" the men hunted everything that moved. Arctic hares, reindeer, walruses, and seals, which they grimly nicknamed "floe-rats." As the winter encroached, so did a seemingly permanent darkness. Fearful of the perennial ice floes, which could easily crush whatever ship crossed their path, the Alert landed at Floeberg Beach, where it would rest until the following summer allowed for safe escape. And while the daily life of a sailor may appear unsympathetic, Mosss prose is deeply personal, poetic, and even romantic. Not only are his accounts of the expedition unflinchingly thorough, but they also linger playfully on every odd moment, awkward bit of dialogue, or alienating aspect of harsh Arctic life.
