Описание: What can we learn from the stunning rise and mysterious death of the ancient world's greatest conqueror? An acclaimed biographer reconstructs the life of Alexander the Great in this magisterial revisionist portrait. More than two millennia have passed since Alexander the Great built an empire that stretched to every corner of the ancient world, from the backwater kingdom of Macedonia to the Hellenic world, Ancient Persia, and ultimately to India--all before his untimely death at thirty-three. Alexander believed his empire would only stop when he reached the ocean. But stories of both real and legendary events from his life have kept him evergreen in our imaginations with a legacy that meant something different to every era: in the Middle Ages he became an exemplar of knightly chivalry, he was a star of Renaissance paintings, and by the early twentieth century he even came to resemble an English gentleman. But who was he in his own time? In Alexander the Great, Anthony Everitt judges Alexander's life against the criteria of his own age and considers all his contradictions. We meet the Macedonian prince who was naturally inquisitive and fascinated by science and exploration, who enjoyed the arts and used the poet Homer's great epic, the Iliad, as a bible. As his empire grew, Alexander exhibited respect for the traditions of his new subjects and careful judgment in administering rule over his vast territory. But his career also had a dark side. An inveterate conqueror who in his short life built the largest empire up to that point in history, Alexander glorified war and was known to commit acts of great cruelty. As debates continue about the meaning of his life, Alexander's death remains an unsolved mystery. Did he die of natural causes--felled by a fever--or did his marshals, angered by his tyrannical behavior, kill him? An explanation of his death can lie only in what we know of his life, and Everitt ventures to solve that puzzle, offering an ending to Alexander's story that has eluded so many for so long.

Описание: We know that previous global cataclysms and floods were documented in ancient mythology from around the world, and many of these myths have predicted that it will happen again. And, now there is some scientific evidence to support this idea. It was Albert Einstein who was one of the first scientists to be convinced that the Earth had indeed been plagued by a reoccurring global cataclysm, and he collaborated with scientists studying this phenomenon. As incredible as it sounds, he also believed that such an event or a very similar one was responsible for periodic advances in human evolution, and he corresponded with a scientific theorist on this topic as well. Every few years it seems that someone is predicting "the end of the world", and they often cite ancient myths to support these predictions. Most of the books on this subject are either written by true believers, or by closed-minded skeptics, but what is the real truth? Is there any scientific evidence to back up these theories of an approaching global cataclysm? This book offers an objective, open-minded skeptic's scientific analysis of the odds of a global cataclysm occurring in our lifetime. It presents a complete index of all of the apocalyptic myths and prophecies form around the world, and the scientific theories to explain them. It contains the writings of Albert Einstein, Plato, Edgar Cayce, the Bible, the ancient Mayan books of the Popol Vuh and Chilam Balam, and many others. Most importantly, it presents the most recent scientific evidence both in support of and contradicting these apocalyptic theories, with some surprising conclusions. This is an absolutely fascinating investigation into one of the greatest mysteries of modern science, and the brilliant scientists who have studied it. The book is extremely well researched with over 200 references and a bibliography with over 90 sources, and yet it reads like a spell-binding mystery. Are we headed for another global catastrophe? Look at the evidence, then you decide.

Описание: While the theoretical and empirical research of others is an important part of the study of Hindu nationalism, interviews conducted by the author during this tumultuous period as well as her own theorizing on the links among masculinity, militarism and nationalism, provide an analysis of the factors that converge to transform the discontent of the politics of nationalism into violent conflict.
