Sinossi

"The Reformation and the Renaissance (1485-1547)" is a meticulously curated anthology that explores the intertwined legacies of two of history's most transformative movements. This collection delves into the critical dialogues and cultural shifts that characterized the late 15th and early 16th centuries, employing a rich tapestry of essays and primary sources. The book employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, weaving together perspectives on art, religion, philosophy, and politics to illustrate how the Renaissance nurtured the seeds of Reformation thought, ultimately reshaping European society. Critical analyses of key figures, such as Erasmus and Luther, examine their revolutionary ideas against a backdrop of thriving humanism and emerging individualism. The authors, a diverse group of historians and scholars, bring a wealth of expertise that reflects their profound engagement with the subjects. Their backgrounds in theology, history, and literature provide a multidimensional perspective on the era's complexities. The collaborative nature of this volume exemplifies the renaissance of scholarly endeavor that mirrors its themes'Äîbringing together varied voices to shed light on a period marked by profound intellectual and spiritual upheaval. This anthology is essential for scholars and students alike, as it transcends mere historical recounting to foster critical engagement with the cultural currents of the time. "The Reformation and the Renaissance" invites readers into a lively discourse that not only charts the course of these monumental events but also prompts reflection on their enduring impact on modern thought and society.

    A fascinating history of an ancient place.
    From its first mention in legend in the Book of Invasions, through early Christian monastic settlements, castles and grand residences, Fenian raids and the Battle of Tallaght, there has been huge change in Tallaght. In more recent times it has seen car and motorcycle racing, an aerodrome, the rise and fall of a chocolate factory and a pioneering telecommunications firm. The massive population explosion and rapid modernisation towards the end of the twentieth century means this once-tiny village in Dublin's foothills is now home to over 80,000 people.
    Richly illustrated with period photographs and original drawings by Michael O'Brien, Albert Perris tells the often-surprising story of Tallaght.

    Dynastic Legacy explores the far-reaching influence of three of China’s most remarkable dynasties—the Song, Ming, and Qing—each of which played a pivotal role in shaping Chinese society, governance, innovation, and culture. From the artistic brilliance and technological advances of the Song, to the maritime exploration and architectural wonders of the Ming, to the imperial dominance and eventual collapse of the Qing, this book offers a comprehensive look at how dynastic leadership shaped the trajectory of Chinese history. 
    The Song Dynasty is renowned for ushering in an age of innovation, commerce, and cultural richness. It laid the foundation for modern banking, expanded printing technology, and saw a flourishing of Confucian philosophy and visual arts. The Ming Dynasty, famous for the Forbidden City and the voyages of Zheng He, emphasized stability, infrastructure, and defense—leaving a powerful legacy of order and cultural refinement. The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty, extended China’s borders to their greatest historical extent and governed through a complex yet effective administrative system—before internal decay and foreign pressure brought about its end. 
    With detailed accounts of key emperors, political shifts, societal structures, and enduring cultural contributions, Dynastic Legacy paints a vivid portrait of the challenges and triumphs that defined imperial rule. This volume offers readers an engaging and educational journey through the dynasties that shaped modern China, highlighting both the brilliance and the burdens of centralized power.

    Oliver's well-researched biography of Mansa Musa echoes the style of an exotic tale of gold, glory, and adventure. During his long reign as Mali's emperor, Mansa Musa led his empire into its Golden Age; presided over a spectacular, 60,000 person, 9,000 mile pilgrimage; founded a university in Timbuktu; and helped revolutionize architecture across the Sudan.Many of the African ancestors of today's African-Americans came from West Africa. From 700 -- 1600 A. D., one after the other, three great, black, commercial empires dominated West Africa. They were powerful, prosperous, complex, stable -- and large. At its height, the Empire of Mali was the size of all of Western Europe.Well-crafted and fast paced, Oliver's book did not only clearly portray Mansa Musa's triumphs and dilemmas, but also the lives of the people of medieval Mali.

    It is nearly impossible to imagine Giza any different today with its desert backdrop and its majestic, sentinel-like pyramids that can't help but exude a sense of permanence. 
    Edfu's account, compiled from a series of now lost books attributed to the moon-god Thoth, allows us to reconstruct how the Giza plateau may have looked over 11,000 years ago. 
    Giza was built around a shallow lake, fed directly from the Nile if the texts were believed. This ecosystem is similar to what one might see today in equatorial Africa. If we find a time machine and travel back to this distant era, we would find a hot, humid atmosphere alive with lush green vegetation. 
    This hypothesis is not mere speculation, for it is known that the river used to flow closer to the plateau's edge in the past. In addition, evidence of a lake and dock dating back to Old Kingdom times has also been found beyond the plateau's western limits. 
    In the eyes of the Shining Ones, this would represent the primordial sea of chaos from which the first land appeared at the beginning of Time.

    Black Panther is one of the most financially successful and culturally impactful films to emerge from the American film industry in recent years. When it was released in 2018 it broke numerous records and resonated with audiences all around the world. In Black Panther: Interrogating a Cultural Phenomenon, author Terence McSweeney explores the film from a diverse range of perspectives, seeing it as not only a comic book adaptation and a superhero film, but also a dynamic contribution to the discourse of both African and African American studies. 
     
     
     
    McSweeney argues that Black Panther is one of the defining American films of the last decade and the most remarkable title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU has become the largest film franchise in the history of the medium and has even shaped the contours of the contemporary blockbuster, but the narratives within it have almost exclusively perpetuated largely unambiguous fantasies of American heroism and exceptionalism. In contrast, Black Panther complicates this by engaging in an entirely different mythos in its portrayal of an African nation—never colonized by Europe—as the most powerful and technologically advanced in the world. McSweeney charts how and why Black Panther became a cultural phenomenon and also a battleground on which a war of meaning was waged at a very particular time in American history.
