Sinossi

In "Bell's Cathedrals," Philip Walsingham Sergeant offers an intricate exploration of the architectural and historical significance of English cathedrals. Through a meticulous examination of renowned structures, the book reveals not only the aesthetic grandeur of these edifices but also their role as centers of spiritual life and community identity through centuries. Sergeant adeptly weaves together descriptive narrative, historical context, and architectural analysis, employing a rich yet accessible literary style that appeals to both scholars and general readers alike. His work situates these cathedrals within the broader tapestry of British history, illustrating how they reflect cultural shifts and societal values over time. Sergeant, an accomplished writer and a dedicated scholar of ecclesiastical architecture, drew upon his extensive studies and travel experiences to bring this work to life. The book emerges from his deep reverence for these historical monuments and a desire to document their stories before they fade into obscurity. His passion for architecture is evident in each chapter, as he not only chronicles the structural marvels but also imbues them with tales of the people and events that shaped them. I highly recommend "Bell's Cathedrals" for readers interested in history, architecture, and the intricate relationship between spirituality and space. This comprehensive work serves as an essential reference for scholars while remaining accessible to anyone curious about the rich heritage of England'Äôs religious structures, making it a valuable addition to both personal libraries and academic collections.

    From objects to sounds, choreography is expanding beyond dance and human bodies in motion. This book offers one of the rare systematic investigations of expanded choreography as it develops in contemporaneity, and is the first to consider expanded choreography from a trans-historical perspective. Through case studies on different periods of European dance history - ranging from Renaissance dance to William Forsythe's choreographic objects and from Baroque court ballets to digital choreographies - it traces a journey of choreography as a practice transcending its sole association with dancing, moving, human bodies.

    The Rashtrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history, ruling vast territories across the Deccan and beyond. Their origins, however, remain a subject of debate among historians due to conflicting inscriptions and interpretations. Some sources trace their roots to the Kannada-speaking regions, while others suggest connections to northern India. Despite the uncertainty, it is widely accepted that the Rashtrakutas emerged as a prominent force in the Deccan by the 8th century. 
The dynasty first gained prominence under the rule of Dantidurga, who established Rashtrakuta authority by overthrowing the Chalukyas of Badami. However, evidence suggests that the Rashtrakutas had been a significant regional power even before his reign. The earliest references to the name "Rashtrakuta" appear in inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries, indicating that they were already influential feudatories before rising to imperial status. Some scholars believe they originally served as administrators or military governors under the Chalukyas before asserting their independence. 
The question of the dynasty’s ethnic and linguistic identity has long been debated. Some sources claim that they were of Kannada origin, citing inscriptions and literary works composed in the Kannada language under their patronage. Others argue that they may have had northern Indian roots, pointing to their interactions with Rajput and Gurjara clans. Regardless of their precise origins, the Rashtrakutas embraced the cultural diversity of the Deccan, ruling over a population that spoke multiple languages, including Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi.
