Habsburg Rule

Tradutor A AI

Sinopse

For centuries, the Habsburg dynasty dominated European history, wielding immense influence over politics, religion, and warfare. Habsburg Rule explores how this single family rose to power, shaped the continent's destiny, and eventually declined. Their story is a complex tale of strategic political marriages that consolidated territories and a persistent ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

 
The book examines how they navigated religious and political turmoil, such as during the reign of Charles V and the Thirty Years' War. The book argues that the Habsburgs' enduring influence came from their calculated political marriages and effective administration.

 
The chapters trace the Habsburgs' origins, their expansion into Eastern Europe, their conflicts with the Ottoman Empire, and internal reforms during the Enlightenment. The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with their rise within the Holy Roman Empire and culminating in the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

 
The book analyzes the factors that led to their decline, including the rise of nationalism and the Napoleonic Wars.

Be the Best Bad Presenter Ever -...

Karen Hough

Karen Hough doesn't want you to be "perfect." People fear public speaking because they worry about having to conform to all sorts of handed-down rules that tie them up in knots and put their audiences to sleep.

Hough debunks over a dozen myths about presenting to make it more fun and natural for everyone. She explains how practicing in front of a mirror makes you worse, why you should never end with questions, and much more.

Assuming the Ecosexual Position...

Jennie Klein, Beth Stephens,...

What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor. 
 
 
 
Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.
