Описание:
The Sellers brothers, Samuel and George, came to North America in 1682 as part of the Quaker migration to William Penn’s new province on the shores of the Delaware River. Across more than two centuries, the Sellers family—especially Samuel’s descendants Nathan, Escol, Coleman, and William—rose to prominence as manufacturers, engineers, social reformers, and urban and suburban developers, transforming Philadelphia into a center of industry and culture. They led a host of civic institutions including the Franklin Institute, Abolition Society, and University of Pennsylvania. At the same time, their vast network of relatives and associates became a leading force in the rise of American industry in Ohio, Georgia, Tennessee, New York, and elsewhere.Engineering Philadelphia is a sweeping account of enterprise and ingenuity, economic development and urban planning, and the rise and fall of Philadelphia as an industrial metropolis. Domenic Vitiello tells the story of the influential Sellers family, placing their experiences in the broader context of industrialization and urbanization in the United States from the colonial era through World War II. The story of the Sellers family illustrates how family and business networks shaped the social, financial, and technological processes of industrial capitalism. As Vitiello documents, the Sellers family and their network profoundly influenced corporate and federal technology policy, manufacturing practice, infrastructure and building construction, and metropolitan development. Vitiello also links the family’s declining fortunes to the deindustrialization of Philadelphia—and the nation—over the course of the twentieth century.

Описание: Per Domenic Meffe ci che conta andare sempre avanti. Eppure, 17 anni dopo essere giunto in Canada da ragazzo nel 1965, l'industrioso imprenditore ha sentito l'innegabile richiamo delle sue radici italiane. Il ritorno al suo paese nativo in Molise ha scatenato ricordi dirompenti che hanno infuso nuova vita ad una leggenda di famiglia vecchia di 200 anni, una leggenda di tale passione spirituale e fisica che molti al posto suo avrebbero preferito dimenticarla. Temerario nella sua onest ed implacabile nel suo orgoglio verso il suo antenato sacerdote, ne La Famiglia del Prete, Meffe condivide il coraggio e la gloria della sua dinastia e ci invita a giudicare la sua storia mentre esaminiamo la nostra.

Описание:
Relationships can be exhilarating, devastating, rejuvenating, and terrifying. Sometimes these all happen in the same breath, and other times they slowly materialize over the course of several years.
In The Zero Years, author Domenic Blair offers a deeply personal set of autobiographical poems based on a series of life- and soul-changing events. Centered on the rise and fall of a single relationship, these poetic verses trace the love, loss, depression, and growth surrounding a passionate yet ultimately unsuccessful romance.
Using rhythmical structures in addition to free verse, these poems openly express intimacy and passion as well as darker topics such as drug addiction and anxiety to illustrate Blair's profound journey.
Broken into various sections including "Her Smile," "Her Taste," "The Last Promise to Break," and "Older Ghosts," these pages chronicle a couple's relationship from their initial meeting, to falling in love, to breaking up, to reigniting their passion only to have it left in ruins again.
Full of life, pain, and heartbreak, Blair puts his soul to words to help bring healing to anyone looking for meaning in the midst of loss.

Описание:
As six cousins mourn the death of their grandfather, their uncle, known as the Prophet, summons them to a meeting. In a remote family retreat, he reveals the secret history of their family and the prominent position their grandfather held as Meglio di Buono of the International Guardians of the Swords of Valor. The Prophet sends them back through time to pivotal points in history to obtain the four missing Swords of Valor, believed to have been stolen by the Apostles of Azazel.
The consequences of failure mean far more than their own deaths. All of humanity could be destroyed. Any hope of succeeding lies in the power of the swords, their courage, and each other. Encountering some of the most influential figures of history, from Joan of Arc to Christ himself, the cousins must confront the reality behind everything they thought they knew, before the Apostles of Azazel can plunge the world forever into darkness.
A historic tale of valor, virtue, family honor, faith, and the power of a humble spirit in a world dominated by pride and the love of power, Season of the Swords is the beginning of an epic that spans the vast expanse of time, raising the inevitable question:
What if you had the power to change history?

Описание:
In this book, Massimiliano Vitiello situates the life and career of the Ostrogothic queen Amalasuintha (c. 494/5-535), daughter of Theoderic the Great, in the context of the transitional time, after the fall of Rome, during which new dynastic regimes were experimenting with various forms of political legitimation. A member of the Gothic elite raised in the Romanized palace of Ravenna, Amalasuintha married her father's chosen successor and was set to become a traditional Gothic queen—a helpmate and advisor to her husband, the Visigothic prince Eutharic—with no formal political role of her own. But her early widowhood and the subsequent death of her father threw her into a position unprecedented in the Gothic world: a regent mother who assumed control of the government. During her regency, Amalasuintha clashed with a conservative Gothic aristocracy who resisted her leadership, garnered support among her Roman and pro-Roman subjects, defended Italy from the ambitions of other kings, and negotiated the expansionistic designs of Justinian and Theodora. When her son died unexpectedly at a young age, she undertook her most dangerous political enterprise: forming an unmarried coregency with her cousin, Theodahad, whom she raised to the throne. His final betrayal would cost Amalasuintha her rule and her life. Vitiello argues that Amalasuintha's story reveals a key phase in the transformation of queenship in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, a time in which royal women slowly began exercising political power. Assessing the ancient sources for Amalasuintha's biography, Cassiodorus, Procopius, Gregory of Tours, and Jordanes, Vitiello demonstrates the ways in which her life and public image show the influence of late Roman and Byzantine imperial models on the formation of female political power in the post-Roman world.
