Beschreibung

Byzantine Script Power explores the profound impact of writing and record-keeping on the thousand-year Byzantine Empire. It argues that script was not merely a tool, but a central force in shaping governance, solidifying faith, and enabling the empire's complex administration. The book delves into how imperial laws and legal codices, like the Corpus Juris Civilis, became symbols of authority. It also examines the creation and spread of religious texts and the meticulous record-keeping that facilitated centralized control, illustrating the deep connection between script and imperial power.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from legal history, religious studies, and public administration to offer a fresh perspective. By examining legal documents, illuminated manuscripts, and inscriptions, the study reveals new insights into scribal practices and textual culture. The book begins with an overview of Byzantine scriptoria and literacy, then progresses through the role of law, the intersection of script and faith, and finally the administrative uses of script, revealing how these written forms strengthened the empire.

    For two hundred years, British slave ships plied in the Middle Passage, taking African men, women, and children to their doom. Ending slavery in the mighty British Empire seemed like an impossible dream, but once William Wilberforce resolved to represent the abolitionists in Parliament, he would fight to the bitter end - for nearly half a century - to achieve that goal. Together with a community of dynamic reformers, Wilberforce struggled to rid his nation of evil and to give dignity and freedom to all people - slave and slave trader, poor and powerful. His example continues to inspire others to use their gifts and influence to do good against the odds.

    Powerfully written by Australia's leading military historian, Saving Port Moresby commemorates the 80th Anniversary of the Battles in New Guinea. 
    Japanese Major General Horii Tomitarô, commanding the South Seas Force, was after taking Kokoda Plateau in late July tasked with entering the Owen Stanley Range to capture Port Morseby.  
    After the battles for Deniki and Isurava, his troops were pushing south through the mountains. The Australians under Brigadier Arnold Potts, however, were not in rout, but were involved in a determined fighting withdraw. After fighting a delaying action at Templeton’s Crossing, the Australians took up a position along Mission Ridge, just south of Efogi Village.  
    Horii and his battalions attacked and after two days of bloody hand-to-hand fighting, the Australians were forced to again withdraw. To the veterans who fought here the battle would become known as ‘Butcher’s Corner’. After several further delaying actions, Potts and his men took up a position on Ioribaiwa Ridge, just 50-kilometres north of Port Moresby. 
    His brigade by now numbered fewer than 300 men. Here they were reinforced with the men of the 25th Brigade. Horii decided that he would establish himself of Ioribaiwa Ridge as his base for operations against the township. After a week of fighting the Japanese cut through the centre right flank of the Australian 25th Brigade, forcing the Australians to fall back to Imita Ridge, the last defensible ridge in the Owen Stanleys immediately behind lay Port Moresby.
