Sinopse

In "Guilds in the Middle Ages," Georges François Renard delves into the complex social and economic structures of medieval guilds, illuminating their vital role in shaping urban life across Europe. Renard employs a meticulous historical analysis combined with a narrative style that makes the subjects accessible to both scholars and general readers. Through a critical examination of primary sources, he explores the multifaceted functions of guilds, from trade regulation and craftsmanship to the establishment of social identities, set against the backdrop of feudalism's decline and the rise of burgeoning city-states. Renard, a distinguished historian with a focus on medieval social structures, draws upon his extensive knowledge of economic history and medieval studies to craft this compelling narrative. His academic journey is rich with research on the interplay between socio-economic forces and institutional development, providing him with invaluable insights into the guild system's significance in historical context. Renard's expertise is evident in his ability to synthesize complex ideas into a coherent narrative that highlights the nuances of guild dynamics. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the socio-economic history of the Middle Ages. Renard's exhaustive research and engaging prose invite readers to reconsider preconceived notions of medieval society and appreciate the guilds as pivotal institutions that fostered not only economic exchange but also community and identity.

    Most of us give little thought to the back of the book—it's just where you go to look things up. But as Dennis Duncan reveals in this delightful and witty history, hiding in plain sight is an unlikely realm of ambition and obsession, sparring and politicking, pleasure and play. In the pages of the index, we might find Butchers, to be avoided, or Cows that sh-te Fire, or even catch Calvin in his chamber with a Nonne. Here, for the first time, is the secret world of the index: an unsung but extraordinary everyday tool, with an illustrious but little-known past. 
     
     
     
    Charting its curious path from the monasteries and universities of thirteenth-century Europe to Silicon Valley in the twenty-first, Duncan uncovers how it has saved heretics from the stake, kept politicians from high office, and made us all into the readers we are today. We follow it through German print shops and Enlightenment coffee houses, novelists' living rooms and university laboratories, encountering emperors and popes, philosophers and prime ministers, poets, librarians and—of course—indexers along the way. Revealing its vast role in our evolving literary and intellectual culture, Duncan shows that, for all our anxieties about the Age of Search, we are all index-rakers at heart—and we have been for eight hundred years.

    Transnistria is a nowhereland hugging a narrow valley near the Black Sea. No bigger than Cornwall or Rhode Island, the unrecognised country is a Soviet museum long occupied by Russian ‘peace-keepers’. Its oligarchs in Adidas track suits hunt wild boar with AK-47s. Its young people train for revolution at the Che Guevara High School of Political Leadership. Its secret factories have supplied arms to African insurgents and electrical generators for Iran’s nuclear power programme. Yet its isolation and sliver-size belie the real threat it poses to the West, above all since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 	‘We know our people and how to treat them, ' bragged a local-boy-made-good oligarch. ‘And I tell you that the only way to get them to act or to change their ways is to point a gun at their heads, and threaten to shoot.’	‘And if they still don’t change?’ I asked, shocked by his arrogant candour.	‘Then one pulls the trigger.’	Re-issued with a new Introduction, Back in the USSR is a snapshot in time - presented in a social realist style - and a chilling reminder of the fate that awaits the conquered.

    The true story of the life journey of a combat fighter pilot and astronaut. An adventure that illuminates a path toward understanding the meaning of life and our place in the universe. 
    Humanity faces an unprecedented crisis that threatens all life on Earth. Desert Storm fighter pilot and NASA astronaut Ron Garan addresses this head-on in Floating in Darkness: A Journey of Evolution, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed first book, The Orbital Perspective: Lessons in Seeing the Big Picture from a Journey of 71 Million Miles. 
    Ron takes us on an extraordinary journey through outer space and inner space. He explores the dancing, intersecting orbits of religion, spirituality, and science while grappling with his own role in the violence of combat and the effects of war on all aspects of human life. We witness Ron struggling with mortality while also basking in the sheer wonder and beauty of our world and beyond. 
    From this perspective, Ron maps out a viable path forward--to solve our crisis, we need a giant leap in humanity's evolutionary process. We must transcend individual and collective ego and embrace the true nature of our interdependence with this fragile planet and all life within its biosphere. Ron shows us how to discover our purpose, detoxify our divisive culture, and become a "white blood cell" in a growing immune response to heal our world. 
    Floating in Darkness is a blueprint to build a restorative and positive future for all.
