Minor shelfwear. Foxing to textblock. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; Until recently, popular biographers and most scholars viewed Alexander the Great as a genius with a plan, a romantic figure pursuing his vision of a united world. His dream was at times characterized as a benevolent interest in the brotherhood of man, sometimes as a brute interest in the exercise of power. Green, a Cambridge-trained classicist who is also a novelist, portrays Alexander as both a complex personality and a single-minded general, a man capable of such diverse expediencies as patricide or the massacre of civilians. Green describes his Alexander as "not only the most brilliant (and ambitious) field commander in history, but also supremely indifferent to all those administrative excellences and idealistic yearnings foisted upon him by later generations, especially those who found the conqueror, tout court, a little hard upon their liberal sensibilities. " This biography begins not with one of the universally known incidents of Alexander's life, but with an account of his father, Philip of Macedonia, whose many-territoried empire was the first on the continent of Europe to have an effectively centralized government and military. What Philip and Macedonia had to offer, Alexander made his own, but Philip and Macedonia also made Alexander form an important context for understanding Alexander himself. Yet his origins and training do not fully explain the man. After he was named hegemon of the Hellenic League, many philosophers came to congratulate Alexander, but one was conspicuous by his absence: Diogenes the Cynic, an ascetic who lived in a clay tub. Piqued and curious, Alexander himself visited the philosopher, who, when asked if there was anything Alexander could do for him, made the famous reply, "Don't stand between me and the sun. " Alexander's courtiers jeered, but Alexander silenced them: "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes. " This remark was as unexpected in Alexander as it would be in a modern leader. For the general reader, the book, redolent with gritty details and fully aware of Alexander's darker side, offers a gripping tale of Alexander's career. Full backnotes, fourteen maps, and chronological and genealogical tables serve readers with more specialized interests.; 8.5 x 1.5 x 5.75 Inches; 617 pages

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista.

If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
"The odyssey of a young lion-hearted New Zealander is told with modesty and humour. Captured in Crete, the author, after a number of bold attempts to gain his liberty, finally succeeded in making a fantastic escape which involved hiding for many months among the Monasteries on Mount Athos before reaching Turkey and freedom." 235p. maps.

As New English Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 204 p. Ills. One of most recent initiatives of the History Foundation in the field of history education, namely "Improvement of the Balkan History Textbooks Project", was completed in September 2002. This eight-month pilot project was supported by UNESCO, the Heinrich Böll Foundation and the Consulate General of the Netherlands in Turkey. The planning meeting in Istanbul (June 17th-18th,2001) was followed by a workshop in Pamporovo (September 8th-9th, 2001) and a conference in Istanbul (November 30th-December 2nd,2001), with the participation of teams from Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania and Turkey. The project aimed to bring together academics and history teachers from the Balkan countries; to review primary and -particulary- secondary level history textbooks currently in use; and to propose alternative ways of reflecting the political, social and cultural history of these countries. The main objective of the project was to prepare a final report on the history textbooks and the teaching of history in the five Balkan countries. Sine history education is in a 'transition period' in each of the five Balkan countries, this book at hand, which is the final report of the project should be considered as a 'snap shot' of the current state of the history education in the Balkans.

br. Schiacciato dalla preponderante figura del figlio Alessandro Magno, Filippo II, in circa 24 anni (360-336 a.C.), seppe trasformare la Macedonia da stato periferico, vessato dalle grandi poleis, in regno potentissimo, in grado di guidare il mondo greco nella spedizione contro l'impero persiano. In questo libro l'autore ne stila un agile ritratto, mettendone in evidenza non solo le indiscusse doti strategiche, che gli permisero di imporsi sui pericolosi vicini e di impossessarsi di ricche regioni, ma soprattutto la capacità di abbinare - e in molti casi sostituire - alla spada la forza della parola, trovando le giustificazioni più persuasive ad azioni che, in realtà, ebbero nel desiderio di conquista e nella volontà di allargare i confini del regno le motivazioni più autentiche.
