Beschreibung

In "The History of Moors in Spain," Stanley Lane-Poole presents a meticulously researched narrative that illuminates the rich cultural and historical tapestry woven by the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula. With a blend of scholarly rigor and engaging prose, Lane-Poole delves into the intricacies of Islamic influence from the 8th to the 15th centuries, exploring the multifaceted contributions of the Moors to architecture, science, and philosophy. The book adeptly contextualizes this era within the broader framework of medieval history, demonstrating how the coexistence of diverse cultures created a unique environment of intellectual and artistic flourishing. Stanley Lane-Poole, a prominent British historian and archaeologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was deeply interested in the intersection of cultures and civilizations. His scholarly background in Arabic studies and his extensive travels through Spain and North Africa imbued him with a profound appreciation for the Moorish heritage. This personal journey is reflected in his writing, as he strives to offer a balanced perspective that counters simplistic narratives about the Islamic presence in Europe. For readers intrigued by the complexities of cultural exchange and historical narratives, "The History of Moors in Spain" is an indispensable text. Lane-Poole's erudition invites modern audiences to engage with the intricate legacy of the Moors, fostering a deeper understanding of their enduring impact on Spanish identity and European history. This book is essential for historians, students, and anyone seeking to comprehend the profound influences that have shaped contemporary culture.

    When ancient Egypt is mentioned, images often come to mind of tombs covered in hieroglyphs being opened by Victorian-era explorers, revealing "wonderful things"—as Howard Carter famously described upon first glimpsing the treasures of Tutankhamun. But how did Egyptology become the preserve of wealthy Europeans? And what can be done today to restore agency and rightful ownership to the country where this field was born?

    Andrew Carnegie wrote his original "Gospel of Wealth" in 1889, during the height of the gilded age, when the country's 4,000 richest families held almost as much wealth as the other 11.6 million American families combined. His essay laid the foundation for modern philanthropy.
    Today, we find ourselves in a new gilded age—defined by levels of inequality that far surpass those of Carnegie's time. The widening chasm between haves and have-nots demands our immediate attention.
    Now is the time for a new "Gospel of Wealth."
    In From Generosity to Justice: A New Gospel of Wealth, Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation, articulates a bold vision for philanthropy in the twenty-first century. With contributions from an array of thinkers, activists, and leaders including Ai-jen Poo, Laurene Powell Jobs, David Rockefeller Jr., and Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, Walker challenges and emboldens readers to consider philanthropy as a tool for achieving economic, social, and political justice.
    That task requires humility, moral courage, and an unwavering commitment to democratic values and institutions. It demands that all members of society recognize their own privilege and position, address the root causes of social ills, and seek out and listen to those who live amid and experience injustice.
    What began in Carnegie's day as a manual for generosity now becomes a guide that moves us closer to justice—a guide that helps each of us find a way to contribute.
    Justice is calling. It's time we answer.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the Pacific from 22 February 1943 to 21 November 1944. 
    From the Allied vantage point early in the spring of 1943, progress clearly had been made in the wars against Germany and Italy in Europe and the Mediterranean and Japan in the Pacific. During the winter an entire German army had been killed or captured deep within the Soviet Union at Stalingrad. In Africa, once-invincible Axis forces were in full-scale retreat, eventually to surrender in mid-May. The specter of continued Axis expansion in Europe was no longer the threat it had been a year before.
    Halfway around the world, the Japanese offensive in the Pacific also had crested. The May 1942 Battle of the Coral Sea, followed quickly by the great American victory at Midway, had cost Japan the strategic initiative. By February 1943 American and Australian troops had thwarted a Japanese pincer movement in Papua New Guinea, defeating an overland drive on Port Moresby, evicting the Japanese from Buna, and beating back an attack against Wau. That same month, hundreds of miles to the east in the Solomon Islands, American troops had wrested Guadalcanal from the Japanese. Victory required seven months of torturous fighting, but it secured the Allied line of communications to Australia. The Allied High Command now could take advantage of its improved strategic position...
