A Companion to the Early Modern Cardinal is the first comprehensive overview of its subject in English or any language. Cardinals are best known as the pope's electors, but in the centuries from 1400 to 1800 they were so much more: pastors, inquisitors, diplomats, bureaucrats, statesmen, saints; entrepreneurs and investors; patrons of the arts, of music, literature, and science. Thirty-five essays explain their social background, positions and roles in Rome and beyond, and what they meant for wider society. This volume shows the impact which those men who took up the purple had in their respective fields and how their tenure of office shaped the entangled histories of Rome and the Catholic Church from a European and global perspective.
Irina "Ira" Jeffries and her roommate, Fernanda Lopez, turn heads, even in a paradise like Miami's South Beach where beauty is the rule, not the exception. Ira lands local modeling gigs while working at an ultra-hip art deco hotel. Fernanda's classic Hispanic looks catapult her to the top of the local pageant scene. Both women take a mind-blowing ride into the cutthroat and competitive fashion and pageant worlds filled with seductive men, thousand dollar champagne toasts, Botox parties, spiked drinks, and the most incredible cities. Ira must choose between the frenetic pace of the fashion runways or the man she loves, sexy Spaniard and aspiring shoe designer, Pablo Andrews. Fernanda's quest for being the best and nabbing the crown of Miss United States drives her into the arms of local celebrity and former trash-talking Miami Tarpon football player, Thomas Traylor. Each woman eventually has to make the biggest decision of her life about who she really wants to be. The options leave them both Head Over High Heels.
Hat die Psychoanalyse neue Entwicklungen verschlafen? Hilft queer(es) Denken, die Psychoanalyse wachzurutteln? Griffin Hansburys Arbeit Das maskuline Vaginale und seine Verkorperung bei queeren Mannern an der Grenze zu Transgender provoziert sowohl behandlungstechnisch wie auch klinisch-theoretisch. Begegnet er seinem Patienten unvoreingenommen frisch in den Sitzungen oder missachtet er Grenzen? Gelingt ihm ein neuer Blick auf psychogenetische und theoretische Dimensionen oder folgt er auf Kosten des Patienten einer uberwertigen Idee? Das Beiheft des Jahrbuchs der Psychoanalyse hat Dana Amir, Leticia Glocer Fiorini, Howard Levine, Franco De Masi und Bernd Nissen um Kommentare gefragt, die sich pointiert mit Hansburys Arbeit auseinandersetzen.
In this landmark, critically acclaimed book, eminent historian and award-winning author Tom Griffiths explores the craft of history.
Through portraits of fourteen historians, including Inga Clendinnen, Judith Wright, Geoffrey Blainey and Henry Reynolds, he traces how a body of work is formed out of a life-long dialogue between past evidence and present experience. With meticulous research and glowing prose, he shows how our understanding of the past has evolved, and what this changing history reveals about us. Passionate and elegant, The Art of Time Travel conjures fresh insights into the history of Australia and renews our sense of the historian's craft.
Christmas at Henry and Mudge's house means cookies and carols and presents, and the whole family gathering for a delicious breakfast (with lots of food falling on the floor for Mudge). It may just be the best Christmas ever -- but Henry's favorite present is the big, lovable dog he's had all along.
Markso ĉi tie analizas la evoluon de la situacio en Francujo, kiu ebligis al Luizo Bonaparto, persono kun sufiĉe dubinda karaktero, fariĝi imperiestro de la francoj. Engelso skribis pri tiu ĉi verko:
"Kaj efektive ĝi estis genia laboraĵo. Tuj post la evento, kiu surprizis la tutan politikan mondon kvazaŭ fulmo el serena ĉielo, kiun iuj kun laŭta kriego de morala indigno kondamnis, aliaj akceptis kiel savon el la revolucio kaj kiel punon pro ties devojiĝoj, sed kiun ĉiuj nur mire rigardis kaj neniu komprenis - tuj post tiu evento Markso elpaŝis per mallonga, epigrama prezento, kiu prezentis la tutan iradon de la franca historio ekde la februaraj tagoj en ĝia interna interrilato, solvis la miraklon de la dua de decembro1 en naturan, necesan rezulton de tiu inter-rila-to, kaj ĉe tio eĉ ne bezonis pritrakti la heroon de la ŝtatrenverso alie ol per la bone meritita malestimo. Kaj la bildo estis deseg-ni-ta de tia majstra mano, ke ĉiu nova, intertempe okazinta malkaŝo liveris nur novajn pruvojn por tio, kiom fidele ĝi respegulas la realon. Tiu eminenta kompreno de la vivanta taga historio, tiu klara travido de la okazaĵoj, en la momento, en kiu ili okazas, estas efektive senprecedenca."
1La 2-a de decembro 1851 okazis en Francujo la kontraŭrevolucia ŝtatren-verso de Luizo Bonaparto kaj de liaj adeptoj. - vl

Where Have All the Bullets Gone? is volume five of Spike Milligan's outrageous, hilarious, legendary War Memoirs.
'Back to those haunting days in Italy in 1944, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, with lava running in great red rivulets down the slope towards us, and Jock taking a drag on his cigarette and saying, "I think we've got grounds for a rent rebate."'
The fifth volume of Spike Milligan's unsurpassed account of life as a Bombardier in World War Two sees our hero dispatched from the front line to psychiatric hospital and from there to a rehabilitation camp. Considered loony (and 'unfit to be killed in combat by either side'), he becomes embroiled in his own private battle with melancholy. But it is music, wit and a little help from his friends - including one Gunner Harry Secombe - that help carry him through to his first stage appearances ...
'Desperately funny, vivid, vulgar' Sunday Times
'Milligan is the Great God to all of us' John Cleese
'The Godfather of Alternative Comedy' Eddie Izzard
'That absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great man' Stephen Fry

At the end of the war, he forged a career as a jazz musician, sketch-show writer and performer, before joining forces with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe to form the legendary Goon Show. Until his death in 2002, he had success as on stage and screen and as the author of over eighty books of fiction, memoir, poetry, plays, cartoons and children's stories.
In 1961, Alexandra Wiwcharuk was found murdered on the banks of the Saskatchewan River. As Sharon Butala writes, all of Saskatoon "came to a stop," stunned by the brutal death of an attractive young woman who was a graduate nurse and had been crowned a beauty queen in local pageants. The murder became a touchstone moment for Saskatoon. More than 40 years later, it still haunts the residents, especially those who, like Butala, were Alexandra's friends.
Compelled by her memories of Alex and her time, Butala returns to that still-unsolved murder. InThe Girl in Saskatoona title taken from a song that Johnny Cash sang to Alex at a concert only months before her deathshe faces the horror of those past events to create a portrait of friendship and remembrance, of a time when life appeared so much simpler. Written in Butala's intimate, eloquent style, The Girl in Saskatoonis at once an in-depth investigation of a tragic death, a nostalgic coming-of-age story and an exploration of the nature of good and evil.
