Описание:
From its inception in 1932, overseas broadcasting by the BBC quickly became an essential adjunct to British diplomatic and foreign policy objectives. For this reason, the World Service was considered the primary means of engaging with attitudes and opinions behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Although funded by government Grant-in-Aid, the Service's editorial independence was enshrined in the BBC's Charter, Licence and Agreement. London Calling explores the delicate balance of power that lay in the relations between Whitehall and the World Service during the Cold War.
This book also assesses the nature and impact of the World Service's programmes on listeners living in the Eastern bloc countries. In doing so, it traces the evolution of overseas broadcasting from Britain alongside the political, diplomatic and fiscal challenges that the country faced right up to the Suez crisis and the 1956 Hungarian uprising. These were defining experiences for the United Kingdom's international broadcaster that, as a consequence, helped shape and define the BBC World Service as we know it today. London Calling is an important study for anyone interested in the media and foreign policy histories of Great Britain or the history of the Cold War more generally.

Описание: The Deeds of the abbots of St Albans is the longest continuous chronicle of a medieval monastery in England, following its fortunes from its first foundation in the wake of the first Viking raids to its status as a proud and prosperous pillar of the church establishment more than six centuries later. More than merely a common, conventual annal, the Deeds drew contributions from the most accomplished chroniclers of the St Albans school including Matthew Paris, Thomas Walsingham and perhaps William Rishanger. It is a history of one of the most important abbeys, under royal patronage and always at the apex of the church hierarchy; it also offers a glimpse of life inside the monastic community from the Conquest to within a century of the Dissolution. There are detailed descriptions of the building, and rebuilding, of the abbey church, and recounts the abbey's commitment to the making of books, from the first flowering of the scriptorium in the twelfth century - when a famous psalter was made for the anchorite Christina of Markyate - to its Indian summer in the years before 1400 under Thomas Walsingham himself. There are rare snapshots of the daily routine of the monks, their liturgical observances, their interactions with their staff, tenants, townspeople and guests. And it captures the colour and character of the celebrated figures seen at the abbey, from King John to Edward the Black Prince.

Wicca is a way of life and a system of beliefs that is based on the traditions of the Celtic people who lived on earth long before Christianity became known. Most of the information about those early times has been reconstructed from archaeological discoveries that show a connection between the beliefs of modern-day Wiccans and the early hunter-gatherer people. These were people who lived quite simply and followed the sun and the moon as their guides to the passage of days and the arrival and departure of the different seasons.
Take care of your body, exercise, take care of your health, maintain a healthy diet, sleep enough, do not be prey to excesses, do not use drugs, tobacco or alcohol. When you get sick pay attention to what is happening in your life and decipher what your body wants to tell you.
Create a daily practice to keep yourself open to the magic of the world around you and within you. As you grow and develop your skills, keep a record of your journey, and start your own Grimoire to have your own book of spells and magic. Wicca is a creative art. With these basics as your guide, you can take your spell work into your own hands and start inventing spells that work with your life.
Wicca also acknowledges the seasons, the lunar phases, and the cycles of nature as reasons to worship the divine and celebrate spirituality. We work with the deities to achieve balance and live in harmony. Any spells that you will cast will involve creativity, wisdom, harmony, healing, and love. And Wiccans believe that all life forces are tied together in spirit. So you are tied to the tree, to the rock, to the cloud, and to the river by the spirit of the Goddess and the God that flows through all. This is why Wiccans respect nature and live in harmony with it.
Ideally, no matter what form your individual spiritual practice takes, the act of honoring and celebrating the Wheel of the Year should be viewed as an art, rather than a rigid, unchanging routine.
Ensure that you do no harm to others, in your words and actions. Endeavor to live in harmony with nature by ensuring that you do not tip the ecological balance.

Описание: The 'Albanian question' remains one of the major unresolved questions in south-eastern Europe, with the potential to disrupt the region, with grave consequences for the international community. The exodus of refugees from Kosovo into Albania in the late 1990s - and Kosovo's subsequent declaration of independence in February 2008 - rejuvenated interest in Albania and Kosovo and their place in the Balkans. Yet despite growing interest in the region's recent history, until now Albania's period of independence around World War I has been largely neglected. The Birth of Albania explores how an independent Albania first came into existence in the early 20th century, following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Nicola Guy explains how and why Albanian independence was finally achieved, in the context of the prevailing contemporary ideas of ethnicity and national identity, elaborated most famously by President Woodrow Wilson as 'national self-determination'. This book is the definitive account of this period and an essential contribution to our understanding of an important but often overlooked part of the world.
