Synopsis

In "The Moors in Spain," Stanley Lane-Poole delves into the historical and cultural impact of the Moorish presence in the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to the 15th centuries. Employing a narrative style that blends meticulous research with vivid storytelling, Lane-Poole encapsulates the richness of Moorish contributions to Spanish architecture, art, science, and philosophy. The book is situated within the context of late 19th-century European historiography, which often romanticized the Islamic influence on Europe, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of a transformative period in Spanish history that has fueled scholarly debate ever since. Stanley Lane-Poole was a prominent British historian and archaeologist whose extensive travels in Spain and North Africa enriched his perspectives on Moorish civilization. His deep admiration for the Islamic art and culture, coupled with his thorough academic background, drove him to illuminate a facet of history that he felt was often overshadowed. Lane-Poole's expertise allowed him to weave an intricate narrative that not only informs but also engages the reader's imagination, showcasing the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures and their legacies. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in medieval history, cultural studies, or the enduring influence of the Islamic world on Western civilization. Lane-Poole's scholarly yet accessible prose invites both academics and general readers to explore the profound legacy of the Moors in Spain, making it a crucial addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand the complexities of cultural identity and historical narrative.

    Within the text of the Book of Isaiah, Isaiah himself is referred to as "the prophet", but the exact relationship between the Book of Isaiah and the actual prophet Isaiah is complicated. The traditional view is that all 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah were written by one man, Isaiah, possibly in two periods between 740 BC and c. 686 BC, separated by approximately 15 years, and that the book includes dramatic prophetic declarations of Cyrus the Great in the Bible, acting to restore the nation of Israel from Babylonian captivity. Another widely held view is that parts of the first half of the book (chapters 1-39) originated with the historical prophet, interspersed with prose commentaries written in the time of King Josiah a hundred years later, and that the remainder of the book dates from immediately before and immediately after the end of the exile in Babylon, almost two centuries after the time of the historical prophet.

    An enlightening and entertaining inside look at the lifestyles of America's extremely wealthy from the bestselling author of "Our Crowd"
    
    It's no secret that the rich are different from the rest of us. But the rich, as author Stephen Birmingham so insightfully points out, are also different from the very rich. There's Society, and then there's Real Society, and it takes multiple generations for families of the former to become entrenched in the latter. Real Society is not about the money—or rather, it's not only about the money—it is about history, breeding, tradition, and most of all, the name.
    
    
     
    
    The Right People is an engrossing and illuminating journey through the customs and habits of the phenomenally wealthy, from the San Francisco elite to the upper crust of New York's Westchester County. It is a marvelously anecdotal, intimately detailed overview of the lives of the American aristocracy: where they gather and dine; their games and sports, clubs and parties, friendships and feuds; their mating, marriage, and divorce rituals—a potpourri of priceless true stories featuring the Astors, Goulds, Vanderbilts, Vanderlips, Dukes, Biddles, and other lofty names from the pages of the Social Register.
