Gaiseric: The Vandal Who Destroyed Rome by Ian Hughes
English | October 17, 2017 | ISBN: 1781590184 | 304 pages | PDF (Converted) | 10 Mb
While Gaiseric has not become a household name like other 'barbarian' leaders such as Attila or Genghis Khan, his sack of Rome in AD455 has made his tribe, the Vandals, synonymous with mindless destruction. Gaiseric, however, was no moronic thug, proving himself a highly skilful political and military leader and was one of the dominant forces in Western Mediterranean region for almost half a century.

Frommer's Costa Rica 2017

Frommer's Costa Rica 2017
Karl Kahler, "Frommer's Costa Rica 2017"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1628873108 | EPUB | pages: 640 | 167.7 mb
For a relatively small country, Costa Rica has an unusually diverse range of eco-systems to explore and adventurous activities to try. You'll visit rugged wilderness preserves and sleepy beach towns, spectacular orchid gardens and mineral hot springs at the foot of a recently-active volcano. There are adventures here for all ages and abilities: swooping from treetop platform to treetop platform on a canopy tour, taking a dip in a jungle swimming hole, spotting playful spider monkeys as you hike through lush foliage, windsurfing on Lake Arenal, or watching endangered sea turtles nest on the beach.

From movements to parties in Latin America the evolution of ethnic politics

From movements to parties in Latin America the evolution of ethnic politics
From movements to parties in Latin America: the evolution of ethnic politics By Donna Lee Van Cott
2005 | 302 Pages | ISBN: 0521855020 | PDF | 9 MB
Based on extensive original research and detailed historical case studies, this book links historical institutional analysis and social movement theory to a study of political systems in which new ethnic cleavages have emerged. It studies the surprising transformation of indigenous peoples' movements into viable political parties in the 1990s in four Latin American countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela) and their failure to succeed in two others (Argentina, Peru). The study concludes with the democratic implications of the emergence of this phenomenon in the context of declining public support for parties.

From Protology to Eschatology Competing Views on the Origin and the End of the Cosmos in Platonism and Christian Though

From Protology to Eschatology Competing Views on the Origin and the End of the Cosmos in Platonism and Christian Though
Joseph Verheyden, "From Protology to Eschatology: Competing Views on the Origin and the End of the Cosmos in Platonism and Christian Though"
English | ISBN: 3161610091 | 2022 | 262 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference held in Leuven in June 2017 as a follow-up to a previous meeting that dealt with views on the origin of the cosmos in Greek philosophical and early Christian tradition (published in STAC 104, 2017). The second conference focused on how both traditions have reflected on the end or the goal towards which the cosmos is moving. The Judeo-Christian concept of a creation with temporal development and the philosophical notion of the eternity of the world evidently represent two very different positions. Yet there are also clear signs of convergence and of the latter influencing the former. The essays show there is common interest in reflecting not only on the principles that govern cosmology and on how the cosmos is reverting on its principles, but also on the answers provided in each tradition.

English | 2019 | pages: 263 | ISBN: 1498578195, 1498578217 | PDF | 1,5 mb
From Huntington to Trump argues that the "clash of civilizations," an idea first raised three decades ago by Bernard Lewis and endorsed by Samuel Huntington, has created a template for understanding the world which has been adopted by both the United Nations and right-wing populist politicians in Europe and the United States of America. Haynes traces the development of the "clash of civilizations" from the colonial period through the end of the Cold War and 9/11 and analyzes its effects on society.
