Описание: Sergei Eisenstein`s unfinished masterpiece, Ivan the Terrible, was no ordinary movie. Commissioned by Joseph Stalin in 1941 to justify state terror in the sixteenth century and in the twentieth, the film`s politics, style, and epic scope aroused controversy even before it was released. In This Thing of Darkness, Joan Neuberger offers a sweeping...

Описание:
From the army of Marc Antony in the 1st century BC, Roman generals hired Oriental heavy armored cavalry to serve in their military alongside the legions. These troops, both from the northern steppes and the Persian frontiers, continued an ancient tradition of using heavy armor and long lances, and fought in a compact formation for maximum shock effect. They were quite distinct from conventional Roman light cavalry, and they served across the Empire, including in Britain. They became ever more important during the 3rd century wars against Parthia, both to counter their cavalry and to form a mobile strategic reserve.
Displaying these impressive and imposing cavalry units using vivid specially commissioned artwork, this first book in a two part series on Roman Heavy Cavalry examines their use over the Imperial period up to the fall of Western Empire in the 5th century A.D.

Описание:
Ancient Rome had deep roots in the "Villanovan" culture that we call today the Etruscans. Their long-lived civilization can be traced to 900--750 BC in northwest Italy. They were a sea-faring people trading with and competing against Greek and Phoenician peoples, including the Carthaginians. They were also a great land-based power, especially in the "Classical" period, where they expanded their power north into the Po Valley and south to Latium. In the 6th century BC an Etruscan dynasty ruled Rome, and their power extended southwards to the Amalfi coast. In 509 BC the Romans rose up to expel their kings, which began the long "Etruscan twilight" when their power was squeezed by the Samnites and, most especially, the Romans.
Drawing on archeological evidence including warrior tombs, paintings, sculptures, and fully illustrated throughout, this study examines one of the early rivals to Ancient Rome.

Описание:
Mumbai's textile industry is commonly but incorrectly understood to be an extinct relic of the past. In The Archive of Loss Maura Finkelstein examines what it means for textile mill workers—who are assumed not to exist—to live and work during a period of deindustrialization. Finkelstein shows how mills are ethnographic archives of the city where documents, artifacts, and stories exist in the buildings and in the bodies of workers. Workers' pain, illnesses, injuries, and exhaustion narrate industrial decline; the ways in which they live in tenements exist outside and resist the values expounded by modernity; and the rumors and untruths they share about textile worker strikes and a mill fire help them make sense of the industry's survival. In outlining this archive's contents, Finkelstein shows how mills, which she conceptualizes as lively ruins, become a lens through which to challenge, reimagine, and alter ways of thinking about the past, present, and future in Mumbai and beyond.
Описание: In 1958 the United States launched its first satellite and created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to oversee its new space program. By 1961 NASA was confident enough to put a human being into space. But how had it acquired enough medical knowledge to ensure an astronaut’s safety in just three years? It hadn’t. The credit goes instead to decades of military medical research. Witnessing the first German missile attack on London in 1944, U.S. Army flight surgeon Harry Armstrong had been immediately concerned that aeronautical engineers would transform the A-4 (V-2) into a vehicle for transporting soldiers. He vowed, as founder (in 1934) of the military’s only aviation human-factors research lab, to make such trips survivable. Efforts at Wright Field and the army’s School of Aviation Medicine, which Armstrong had also turned into a world-class research institution, were the real reason for the successful start to America’s manned space program. In Testing the Limits , Maura Phillips Mackowski describes the crucial foundational contributions of military flight surgeons who routinely risked their lives in test aircraft, research balloons, pressure chambers, rocket-propelled sleds, or parachute harnesses. Drawing on rare primary sources and interviews, she also reveals the little-known but vital contributions of German emigré scientists whose expertise in areas unknown to Americans created a hybrid specialty: space medicine. She reveals new details on human aeromedical experimentation at Dachau, Washington’s decision to limit astronaut status to males, and the choice to freeze the air force out of the research specialty it had created and brought to fruition.

Описание: Are you looking fora practical educational approach to prevent toddler conflicts, raise positive child, eliminate tantrums, overcome challenges, and help your kids to grown and live a happier life?If yes, then keep reading.
Toddler discipline is not easy, especially if your little one is causing problems.
Toddlers tend to be harder to handle, as they haven't yet been trained in all the things that older children have learned. If you want to discipline your toddler properly, set rules, and enforce them lovingly. If you want your toddler to learn, there has to be specific guidelines or boundaries that the little one has to follow.
Teach them by example. Rather than punishing your child for doing the wrong thing, show them how to do the right thing. And if you want your child to learn, you will need to teach him or her how to do the right thing on their own, but also how to learn whether something is wrong or right.
Be flexible with the rules. Know when to punish and when to let things slide. If you are continually punishing your child, it will be hard for them to feel love.
If you encourage the right behavior, this will be positive reinforcement that will help your child to learn. You can also discourage bad behavior by using discipline, but it is more effective if you use encouragement and positive reinforcement.
This book includes:
Effective communication and toddler discipline
Common mistakes and myths
Discipline vs. Punishment
Stop feeling anxious and guilty about your parenting skills
Описание: Do you want to learn how to manage toddler's behavior, to communicate effectively and prevent conflicts, while helping your child grow?

The Montessori method is a child-centric learning approach. It focuses on hands-on learning as well as activities that are directed by the children themselves. This method is based on the developmental stages of children; it's designed to nurture and support the interests and needs of children by giving them learning experiences that are appropriate to their current developmental stage.
Any Montessori classroom must be beautifully crafted to make it a suitable environment to meet the needs of children. As a teacher (or a parent), your role is to observe the children and guide them.
Another essential task of Montessori teachers is to present the activities in the classroom to their children. In doing this, the children learn how to perform the activities by themselves, and they have the freedom to choose which activities they want to do in the time they're given.
Although Montessori classrooms contain only Montessori materials, the great thing about this method is that you can also apply them in your own home. As a parent, you can come up with your materials and prepare a room in your own home to serve as your child's own personal "Montessori classroom.".
This book includes:
The history of Montessori
Principles and guidelines
A comparison with other systems of learning
Knowing how to talk so that your child listens to you
Over 100 activities for children aged zero to six
Dressing themselves, food preparation, and toilet training
How to grow and be a more effective parent
...And much more

Over the past fifteen years, librarians have increasingly looked to theory as a means to destabilize normative discourses and practices within LIS, to engage in inclusive and non-authoritarian pedagogies, and to organize for social justice. "Critlib," short for "critical librarianship," is variously used to refer to a growing body of scholarship, an intellectual or activist movement within librarianship, an online community that occasionally organizes in-person meetings, and an informal Twitter discussion space active since 2014, identified by the #critlib hashtag. Critlib "aims to engage in discussion about critical perspectives on library practice" but it also seeks to bring "social justice principles into our work in libraries" (http: //critlib.org/about/).
The role of theory within librarianship in general, and critical librarianship more specifically, has emerged as a site of tension within the profession. In spite of an avowedly activist and social justice-oriented agenda, critlib--as an online discussion space at least--has come under fire from some for being inaccessible, exclusionary, elitist, and disconnected from the practice of librarianship, empirical scholarship, and on-the-ground organizing for socioeconomic and political change. At the same time, critical librarianship may be becoming institutionalized, as seen in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, the January 2015 editorial in College and Research Libraries that specifically solicited articles using critical theory or humanistic approaches, and the publication of several critical librarianship monographs by the Association of College and Research Libraries.
This book features original research, reflective essays and conversations, and dialogues that consider the relationships between theory, practice, and critical librarianship through the lenses of the histories of librarianship and critical librarianship, intellectual and activist communities, professional practices, information literacy, library technologies, library education, specific theoretical approaches, and underexplored epistemologies and ways of knowing.
