Описание:
When Pope Benedict's butler began leaking secret Vatican documents to an Italian journalist he was motivated by a desire to save the Catholic church from what he saw as a mounting tide of corruption. Among the issues he felt should be brought to the attention of the pope and the public were the roles of freemasonry and the secret services in Vatican affairs, and the mysterious disappearance of a Vatican schoolgirl, Emanuela Orlandi. The Orlandi affair ties the present travails of the papacy to the Banco Ambrosiano scandal and the death in London of its chairman, Roberto Calvi. The banker found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge was caught in a web of Cold War intrigue, from which the Vatican is still trying to extricate itself. Now updated and expanded, this book was first published as 'The Last Supper: The Mafi a, the Masons and the Killing of Roberto Calvi'.
Praise for 'The Last Supper'
'This powerfully written account will be required reading for students of recent Italian and Vatican history.' The Tablet.
'The meticulously researched book makes for a surprisingly smooth and fascinating read.' Bloomberg.
'Willan wrote the wonderful Puppetmasters about post-war Italian politics and this is more of the same, a smaller patch examined in more detail.' Lobster.

Описание: Celebrate the wonderful (and hilarious) ways in which friends can be different in this all-new, laugh-out-loud odd-couple story. Best friends Jasper, a quick and feisty fox, and Ollie, a slow and deliberate sloth, decide to build forts in the yard. While Jasper's enormous fort goes up in minutes (complete with a rock climbing wall, bouncy, castle, and moat), it's Ollie's humble fort that has what the pair need most . . . a place that they can share. This highly visual story allows young readers to easily recognize the differences between the two pals, as Jasper's increasingly frenzied building contrasts with Ollie's more reserved and planned approach. It's a smartly paced, hugely funny celebration of our differences. Kids AND grown-ups will giggle as they decide if they're more of a "Jasper" or an "Ollie." Which one are you? Parents will also appreciate the subtle lesson of mindfulness, told with humor, as impatient Jasper comes to understand that being first and fastest isn't always best. Also available: Jasper and Ollie

In the late 1700s in a village east of Trois-Rivieres, Lower Canada, young and high spirited Marie Anne Gaboury, born 1782, with no dowry, no marriage prospects, is despatched by her widowed mother to serve as assistant housekeeper in the priest's home. On her way to what she sees as a lonely secluded life, she encounters sixteen-year-old Jean Baptiste Lajimoniere, eldest son of the area's wealthiest farmer having a swim. She gets a hearty playful splash and arrives at the presbytery, bedraggled and miserable.
Eleven years later, Jean Baptiste comes home to farm after a few years of adventurous hunting out in what were known as the 'western deserts'. Marie Anne's sister contrives for the two to meet and she is entranced by his tales. They fall in love but two weeks after the wedding, Jean Baptiste decides he must return to the freedom of the west and take his adored bride with him, the first white woman to live as a semi-nomad on the prairies.
The first of her eight children is born in a buffalo hide tent on January the 6th, 1807, the second prematurely on the open plains after a buffalo hunting mishap. A threat on her life, a brief kidnapping of her son, two offers to trade him for a horse, encounters with braves on the warpath, Jean's imprisonment in the midst of the fur wars, Marie Anne faces one crisis after another with courage and fortitude.
The Hivernante shares the fascinating tale of the first white mother of the west and grandmother of the patriot, Louis Riel. Through hair-raising adventures, hope, faith and love of the land, Marie Anne and Jean Baptiste realize their dreams.

Описание:
The field of text technologies is a capacious analytical framework that focuses on all textual records throughout human history, from the earliest periods of traceable communication—perhaps as early as 60,000 BCE—to the present day. At its core, it examines the material history of communication: what constitutes a text, the purposes for which it is intended, how it functions, and the social ends that it serves.
This coursebook can be used to support any pedagogical or research activities in text technologies, the history of the book, the history of information, and textually based work in the digital humanities. Through careful explanations of the field, examinations of terminology and themes, and illustrated case studies of diverse texts—from the Cyrus cylinder to the Eagles' "Hotel California"—Elaine Treharne and Claude Willan offer a clear yet nuanced overview of how humans convey meaning. Text Technologies will enable students and teachers to generate multiple lines of inquiry into how communication—its production, form and materiality, and reception—is crucial to any interpretation of culture, history, and society.
