The Emperors and Empresses of Russia

Reconsidering the Romanovs

By: Donald J. Raleigh,A.A. Iskenderov

Since glasnost began, Russia's most eminent historians have taken advantage of new archival access and the end of censorship and conformity to reassess and reinterpret their history. Through this process they are linking up with Russia's great historiographic tradition while producing work that is fresh and modern. In "The Emperors and Empresses of Russia", renowned Russian historians tell the story of the Romanovs as complex individual personalities and as key institutional actors in Russian history, from the empire builder Peter I to the last tsar, Nicholas II. These portraits are contributions to the writing of history, partaking neither of wooden ideologisation nor of naive romanticisation.

The Multitude of Personalities Made Simple (Lost Between details)

By: A.A. Hadi White

The Multitude of Personalities Made Simple is a book that introduce a new revolutionary method in determining personalities accurately: Personalities are determined by attributes instead of types. Elements of personality are assessed through measurement rather than subjectively. Introduction of new categories that play a role in shaping personalities. Heart (Likes & Dislikes) Motivation (Belonging, Achievement, Daring, Indulging, Device, Ego and Affection) Interaction (By sound, sight or feeling) Process (According to rules, knowledge, creativity or relationship) Credibility Wisdom Integrity Allowing a mixture of elements from the same category, with one being the dominant, the next being the secondary, and so on. The method allows for a multitude of combinations of personality traits instead of confining personalities into 16 or 32 types. Personalities have different ways of interacting with others and the world. Either they are dominant in sound, sight or feeling (visual, auditory or kinaesthetic also known as VAK) Personalities have different ways of processing their thoughts and actions. There are laws that govern these categories and elements, without knowing them we will be confused (or even shocked) when people sometimes or seldom break their pattern of behaviors. The method is backed up with real life examples of famous people, stories and events. A total of 334 patterns of behaviors have been listed to help the reader to assess a person's personality. The Book points out symptoms of all villainous personalities, even the hardest one to spot like tricksters and psychopaths. The listed patterns of behavior also helps you to distinguish if the personality is acceptable, irritating, or villainous. It also helps you to determine how social, credible and wise a personality is. Books from The Lost Between Details series are meant to be: Easy to read: straight forward. Enjoyable to read: it has comics and stories as examples. Enlightening: Provides valuable information that will be used throughout life. I strongly recommend seeing the introductory video clip for the book I have added below as it list the categories and their elements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uG3pPDC_1I

Papi in Posa

500 Years of Papal Portraiture

By: Aa.Vv.

The exhibition entitled “Papi in Posa,” i.e., “Papal Portraiture,” with the highly refined and historically significant Braschi Palace – home of the Museum of Rome – in 2004, and now in Washington, The John Paul II Center, is not offered only as an excellent exposition of masterpieces from major international museums – such as the Vatican Museums – and prestigious private collections, but stands out in particular because it is one of the most important expositions of portrait painting ever because of both the outstanding quality and the considerable number of paintings and sculptures offered – executed by Europe's leading artists from the last five centuries – and the great spiritual and social significance of the personages portrayed: the greatest Pontiffs who from the 16th century to the present have sat in the Chair of Saint Peter. It is suggestive to observe, as we scan the unique artistic itinerary offered by the curators of the exhibition, how through the succession of historical periods and particularly by virtue of the esthetic verve and inner sensitivity of the artists, the description of the human person was oriented, with extreme plastic ductility and acuity in their perception of their subjects' physiognomy, to represent not only the body lines of the subject being depicted but, in particular, the most intimate traits of the heart, the lively mobility of their thought, the innermost lines of the subject's character, in an intense dialogue of chiaroscuro observations from which the characterizing notes of complex personages are evinced – persons who appear completely clear and evident only to those who are capable of sublimating their outward appearance into an acute observation. From this prestigious gallery of portraits it emerges unmistakably how the anthropocentric path of human thought has manifestly reverberated within the bounds of the figurative arts through a progressive contextualization, which sees the subject represented unbound through a metatemporal aura of rarefied abstraction and placed, naturalistically, in a precise and well defined spatiotemporal sphere. At the same time, we witness a gradual definition of the personage portrayed as the bearer of a clear personal connotation – the self and the identity, which seem to be invisible and thus impossible to represent – no longer, hortatively, as an idealized and metaphoric emblem of absolute values in deference to a markedly ethical and pedagogical conception. The exhibited works, which rightfully range themselves among the most outstanding expressions of portraiture, reveal a deep spiritual harmony evocative of beauty and unleash a lively dialogue with the onlooker based on a real and inherent economy of the act of viewing, albeit freed from the exercise of a psychologism oriented toward uncontrollable wanderings. The reception of the meaning of the formal systems – thoughtful poses and attitudes – involves, to be sure, the active presence of the spectator in a sort of visual dialogue with the portrait that is not considered exclusively as a fixed commemorative system but rather as an interactive structure. In the perspective of the reception, the observer becomes a fundamental element for the construction of the meaning of the image that, from this very private perspective, undergoes obvious momentous transformations. Observer and image thus become integral parts of a fascinating system of visual exchange not unlike the mechanisms of verbal dialogue: both members of the “pair” take on contemporaneously the dual role of subject/object, restructuring the complex relational web established in a rapport between an “I” and a “you.” Beyond the temporal contingencies, each portrait is recounted and seduces us through the universal language of fame: this incarnates, deeply, the artist's attempt to describe the personality of the subjects portrayed, consigning the multiform essence of their nature to one attitude or to a single expression by resorting to a refined psychological introspection in an attempt to render visually the subject's inner world. It is owing to the above considerations that, while I applaud the felicitous initiative of giving life to such a culturally transcendent exhibition, I would wish that all those who will have the pleasure of visiting it or at least of perusing the pages of this catalogue will be able to perceive the portraits of the individual popes not as so many freestanding elements, but rather as integrated parts of a related set of men who, albeit struggling with the many and varied anxieties of everyday life, endeavored to serve Christ among their brothers, each one with a clear perception of himself as servo servorum Dei – the servant of God's servants! Through looks, attitudes and symbols committed by the artist in a well-constructed iconographic code to the pictorial or sculptural page, the discerning observer cannot help but grasp a veiled spiritual harmony that reflects the profound mystery of faith and propagates an echo of the ineffable beauty of God, revealing how, through art, man – pulled between the eternal and the transient – strives to draw close to his Creator.

Re-Viewing Thomas Holcroft, 1745-1809

Essays on His Works and Life

By: A.A. Markley

Thomas Holcroft was a central figure of the 1790s, whose texts played an important role in the transition toward Romanticism. In this, the first essay collection devoted to his life and work, the contributors reassess Holcroft's contributions to a remarkable range of literary genres-drama, poetry, fiction, autobiography, political philosophy-and to the project of revolutionary reform in the late eighteenth century. The self-educated son of a cobbler, Holcroft transformed himself into a popular playwright, influential reformist novelist, and controversial political radical. But his work is not important merely because he himself was a remarkable character, but rather because he was a hinge figure between laboring Britons and the dissenting intelligentsia, between Enlightenment traditions and developing 'Romantic' concerns, and between the world of self-made hack writers and that of established critics. Enhanced by an updated and corrected chronology of Holcroft's life and work, key images, and a full bibliography of published scholarship, this volume makes way for more concerted and focused scholarship and teaching on Holcroft. Taken together, the essays in this collection situate Holcroft's self-fashioning as a member of London's literati, his central role among the London radical reformers and intelligentsia, and his theatrical innovations within ongoing explorations of the late eighteenth-century public sphere of letters and debate.

United Hindustan a Dream

By: A. A. Dar

The killing of a human being is never acceptable to me. I abhor those people who are involved in communalism, bigotry, apartheid, and terrorism. The whole world is a mosque for me. I abhor those people who shed the blood of innocent human beings. I have made deep analysis of the Indian civilization from earlier ages till date, and I got a conclusion for the humanity to prevail; those attributes are peace and justice. Tolerance and adaptation are the golden principles for humanity. A united empire is better than a fragmented piece of land. Unity is better than division.

Hellenistic Philosophy

Hellenistic Philosophy

Stoics, Epicureans, Sceptics

By: A. A. Long

The purpose of this book is to trace the main developments in Greek philosophy during the period which runs from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.c. to the end of the Roman Republic (31 B.c.). These three centuries, known to us as the Hellenistic Age, witnessed a vast expansion of Greek civilization eastwards, following Alexander's conquests; and later, Greek civilization penetrated deeply into the western Mediterranean world assisted by the political conquerors of Greece, the Romans. But philosophy throughout this time remained a predominantly Greek activity. The most influential thinkers in the Hellenistic world were Stoics, Epicureans and Sceptics. This book gives a concise critical analysis of their ideas and their methods of thought. The last book in English to cover this ground was written sixty years ago. In the interval the subject has moved on, quite rapidly since the last war, but most of the best work is highly specialized. There is a clear need for a general appraisal of Hellenistic philosophy which can provide those who are not specialists with an up-to-date account of the subject. Hellenistic philosophy is often regarded as a dull product of second-rate thinkers who are unable to stand comparison with Plato and Aristotle. This book will help to remove such misconceptions and arouse wider interest in a field which is fascinating both historically and conceptually.

The King of the Sun

By: A. A. McFedries

For Detective Sergeant Alicia Aldrich, a homicide investigator for the California State Police, it begins with the body of a nondescript man, brutalized and dumped in the desert near San Bernardino. Soon after, there are other murders, linked together in a bizarre pattern. A gruesome "souvenir" has been taken from each victim and their bodies have been oddly tattooed. Even stranger, their blood contains a substance found only in the blood of astronauts. The killer has made contact with Aldrich -- teasing her with pieces of a puzzle whose origins are mysteriously found among the stars. Is she dealing with a psychopath driven by delusions of UFOs, alien abductions, and extraterrestrial conspiracies? Or is the killer in fact an unearthly force unlike any the world has ever seen? And where does Aldrich herself fit into this terrifying mystery? For what purpose -- human or inhuman -- has she been chosen to witness the killer's most horrifying act of all?
