The Hill of Kronos

Peter Levi

Peter Levi paints a radiant portrait of the Greece he came to know through a lifetime of exploration. As a young scholar he sought out its ancient spirit, the keys to its mythology and civilisation, in its ruined cities and majestic mountains. Later, as a priest working as a diplomat and a friend of the oppressed, he lived in Athens through the dark days of the dictatorship. The sinews of political life led back to secret alliances made during the civil war and the earlier occupation of Greece, back to murder, starvation and corpse-filled quarries. Lastly, he sees the country through the mature eyes of a family man, with the ripened sensibility of an acclaimed poet. This is a precious fusion of experience and insight from one philhellene to all those who have come to love Greece.

Off-Grid Projects - Step-by-Step...

Rachel Pratt

Off-grid systems can also be referred to as "stand-alone" power systems, are completely independent power supply systems that are not connected to the public utility grid. These systems supply electricity, heating, cooling, and water to homes, businesses, and communities that are located in remote or rural areas. They are also utilized by people who choose to live off the grid for a variety of reasons, including concerns about the environment, the desire to be self-sufficient, or the desire to save money. These systems often rely on renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, or biomass, paired with energy storage options, such as batteries, to supply the energy needs of the users.
In order to design an off-grid system, one must first determine the users' energy requirements and then select a suitable power source. Solar, wind, hydro, and biomass are the types of renewable energy that are utilized in off-grid systems more frequently than any other types. Each of these sources has a unique combination of benefits and drawbacks, which can be weighed against one another to determine which one is the best fit for a given environment in terms of resources, geographic location, average temperature, and the amount of energy needed.
Planning the system layout, choosing the components, obtaining the materials, and installing the system are all steps in the construction of an off-grid system. PV panels or wind turbines, inverters, charge controllers, batteries, and wiring are the typical components of an off-grid system. Off-grid systems need energy storage solutions to guarantee a constant flow of electricity during times when energy generation is low, like at night or on cloudy days. Batteries are by far the most popular type of energy storage technology utilized in off-grid systems.

Napoleon's Chicken Marengo -...

Andrew Uffindell

This remarkable work tells the story of Chicken Marengo, and cuts through the tangle of myths that has sprung up around it. Supposedly created on the evening of Napoleons victory at Marengo, the dish rapidly conquered Paris, and became a renowned symbol of French haute cuisine.The author sets the dish in its context explaining the nail-biting drama of Napoleons Marengo campaign and the remarkable frenzy of rejoicing unleashed in Paris by the news of his victory. The author argues that the dish is part of a wider myth that Napoleon spun around the battle itself. Uncomfortably aware of just how close he had come to disaster, he rewrote the official account of Marengo. Determined to exploit the political impact of the victory to the full, he portrayed it as a masterly maneuver, rather than  a near-defeat salvaged largely by luck.Napoleons Chicken Marengo demonstrates the persistency of popular myth in shaping  perceptions of pivotal events.  Uffindel sheds startling light on Napoleons extraordinary and yet elusive character, and reveals just how effectively he spun a myth around the amount of food he ate in order to project a positive image of himself. A whole cast of other, unforgettable characters enlivens the story of Chicken Marengo, from Napoleons bickering generals, to celebrity chefs, colorful adventurers, acclaimed artists, fabulously wealthy eccentrics, and famous writers such as William Makepeace Thackeray.
