Описание:
'She brings Greek history to compelling life' The Sunday Times
'Hislop has done her research and handles the great sweep of complex Greek history with skill and confidence' Daily Mail
Athens, 1941. Nazi forces occupy Greece ... and a nation falls apart.
Victoria Hislop's NEW Sunday Times Number One bestseller takes you into the darker days of Greek history and, through the eyes of its extraordinary heroine, illuminates the courage it takes to live in peace.
After decades of political uncertainty, Greece is polarised between Right- and Left-wing views when the Germans invade.
Fifteen-year-old Themis comes from a family divided by these political differences. The Nazi occupation deepens the fault-lines between those she loves just as it reduces Greece to destitution. She watches friends die in the ensuing famine and is moved to commit acts of resistance.
In the civil war that follows the end of the occupation, Themis joins the Communist army, where she experiences the extremes of love and hatred and the paradoxes presented by a war in which Greek fights Greek.
Eventually imprisoned on the infamous islands of exile, Makronisos and then Trikeri, Themis encounters another prisoner whose life will entwine with her own in ways neither can foresee.
And finds she must weigh her principles against her desire to escape and live.
As she looks back on her life, Themis realises how tightly the personal and political can become entangled. While some wounds heal, others deepen.
This gripping new novel from bestselling author Victoria Hislop sheds light on the complexity and trauma of Greece's past and weaves it into the epic tale of an ordinary woman compelled to live an extraordinary life.

This report describes the results of an archaeological programme undertaken by Birmingham Archaeology between 2005 and 2007 at King's Norton, Birmingham, for King's Norton Parochial Church Council. It also incorporates the documentary research conducted independently by George Demidowicz and Stephen Price, concentrating on tenurial history, the history of repairs, historic images and the wider village landscape. The work was largely associated with the restoration of two buildings adjacent to the parish churchyard in the centre of the former village, both of which contain substantial 15th-century timber-framed elements. The Old Grammar School and the Saracen's Head were the winners of the BBC Restoration programme competition in 2004, an event that facilitated the restoration aims of the PCC by precipitating access to Heritage Lottery Fund support. The finds included a large assemblage of pottery from the earlier and later medieval periods, as well as a number of Roman sherds. Several medieval clay roof tiles were represented, and there was a small collection of glazed floor tiles apparently contemporary with the Saracen's Head, some of which appear to have been in situ when recovered. Such an array of evidence for medieval occupation was not replicated during the excavation at No. 86 on the opposite side of The Green, where nothing that was definitely earlier than the 16th century was recorded or recovered. Although the site was close to or within the important medieval Prior's Court complex, the paucity of the archaeology may be related to the limited size of the excavation combined with the severe truncation of the site. It was fortunate that documentary evidence was able to provide an historical context to interpret the slim findings.
Written by Malcolm Hislop, George Demidowicz and Stephen Price.

Описание: The Only book you will ever need to learn about The Pill and the people who brought it to life.
2010 commemorated the 50th anniversary of the approval of the oral contraceptive pill by the Food and Drug Administration. The history and the development of the oral contraceptive pill are rich in drama--cultural, financial, scientific, spiritual, and political. Dr. David Hislop recounts it all here in this detailed account of the birth of the pill and the fascinating roster of characters who contributed to it.
Beginning with the reforms of Margaret Sanger and the barriers of the Comstock laws, this comprehensive book includes perspectives on the biologists, Gregory Pincus and Min-Chueh Chang, the chemist Russell Marker, the philanthropist Katharine McCormick, the journalist and politician, Ernest Gruening and finally obstetrician and gynecologist John Rock. Considering the legal, social, scientific and religious barriers that led to the eventual government approval, The People Who Made the Pill is the definitive resource on this critical component of our cultural fabric.
