Описание:

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Russians from all ranks of society were bound together by a culture of honor. Here one of the foremost scholars of early modern Russia explores the intricate and highly stylized codes that made up this culture. Nancy Shields Kollmann describes how these codes were manipulated to construct identity and enforce social norms—and also to defend against insults, to pursue vendettas, and to unsettle communities. She offers evidence for a new view of the relationship of state and society in the Russian empire, and her richly comparative approach enhances knowledge of statebuilding in premodern Europe. By presenting Muscovite state and society in the context of medieval and early modern Europe, she exposes similarities that blur long-standing distinctions between Russian and European history.Through the prism of honor, Kollmann examines the interaction of the Russian state and its people in regulating social relations and defining an individual's rank. She finds vital information in a collection of transcripts of legal suits brought by elites and peasants alike to avenge insult to honor. The cases make clear the conservative role honor played in society as well as the ability of men and women to employ this body of ideas to address their relations with one another and with the state. Kollmann demonstrates that the grand princes—and later the tsars—tolerated a surprising degree of local autonomy throughout their rapidly expanding realm. Her work marks a stark contrast with traditional Russian historiography, which exaggerates the power of the state and downplays the volition of society.

Описание:

The Roman shield, the scutum, was central to the Romans' conquest of the known world, and has become an emblem of the legions at the forefront of that effort. This new study draws on the latest research to reveal the history of this iconic equipment.

The introduction of the scutum in the 4th century BC revolutionized the way the Romans fought. Instead of being purely defensive, the shield became a weapon in its own right. Using the top edge or boss to punch an opponent, or the lower rim to smash down on their feet, it served to unbalance an enemy and allow the sword to do its work. The versatility of the scutum was characterized by the testudo, a formation the Romans used offensively like a pedestrian tank. Meanwhile, other shield types equipped the auxiliaries who fought alongside the legionaries. The curved, rectangular scutum survived into the 3rd century AD, only to be replaced by an oval, slightly domed shield derived from the oval shields of Early Imperial auxiliaries.

Drawing together historical accounts, excavated artifacts, and the results of the latest scientific analyses of the boards and fittings, renowned authority M.C. Bishop reveals the development, technology, training, and use of the scutum and other Roman shield types.

Описание: Since ancient times the shield has had a variety of uses whether as a defensive or more rarely offensive weapon or as a decorative or ritual object invested with symbolic meaning. Drawing on the collections of the Barbier-Mueller Museum in Geneva this book examines the literary and mythological aspects of shields from Africa, Southeast Asia and Oceania, placing them in historical context and interpreting them as beautiful objects with a language of their own.

Описание: An instant New York Times bestseller, this explosive biography (People) of one of the most beloved and mysterious figures of the twentieth century is as close as well ever get to being inside J.D. Salingers head (Entertainment Weekly).

This revealing (The New York Times) and engrossing (The Wall Street Journal) oral biography, fascinating and unique (The Washington Post) and an unmitigated success (USA TODAY), has redefined our understanding of one of the most mysterious figures of the twentieth century.

In nine years of work on Salinger, and especially in the years since the authors death, David Shields and Shane Salerno interviewed more than 200 people on five continents, many of whom had previously refused to go on the record about their relationship with Salinger.

This oral biography offers direct eyewitness accounts from Salingers World War II brothers-in-arms, his family members, his close friends, his lovers, his classmates, his neighbors, his editors, his publishers, his New Yorker colleagues, and people with whom he had relationships that were secret even to his own family. Their intimate recollections are supported by more that 175 photos (many never seen before), diaries, legal records, and private documents that are woven throughout; in addition, appearing here for the first time, are Salingers lost lettersranging from the 1940s to 2008, revealing his intimate views on love, literature, fame, religion, war, and death, and providing a raw and revelatory self-portrait.

The result is unprecedented (Associated Press), genuinely valuable (Time), and strips away the sheen of [Salingers] exceptionalism, trading in his genius for something much more real (Los Angeles Times). According to the Sunday Times of London, Salinger is a stupendous workI predict with the utmost confidence that, after this, the world will not need another Salinger biography.

Описание:

Carl Bongirno, retired President of Walt Disney Imagineering: "It was a real pleasure working with Chuck for the last 10 years of my career with Disney."

When he was transferred from Disneyland to Walt Disney Imagineering as Vice President of Human Resources he hit the ground running. He headed up the team that hired 2500 employees and had to indoctrinate, integrate and assimilate all of them in a very short period of time. At the conclusion of major projects (EPCOT & Tokyo Disneyland) he and his team then successfully provided outplacement for all the employees who were laid off.

The Disney Apprentice is a book that once started is difficult to put down. I've just read it again and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. If you are in business or deal with people on any level this book is mandatory for you to read. It is not only educational it is very entertaining.

The Disney Apprentice describes valuable and transferable lessons needed to create a customer and employee centric culture. Chuck Shields uses Disney's storytelling cultural examples, transferable lessons, Walt Disney quotes and his 22 years of experience in transferring the Disney foundations to a completely different industry. An exciting read from one of the early leaders of the Disney University and VP of HR and Administration for three unique Disney Divisions.
