A short history of nearly everything classical. The foundations of the modern world were laid in Alexandria of Egypt at the turn of the first millennium. In this compulsively readable narrative, Justin Pollard and Howard Reid bring one of history's most fascinating and prolific cities to life, creating a treasure trove of our intellectual and cultural origins. Famous for its lighthouse, its library-the greatest in antiquity-and its fertile intellectual and spiritual life--it was here that Christianity and Islam came to prominence as world religions--Alexandria now takes its rightful place alongside Greece and Rome as a titan of the ancient world. Sparkling with fresh insights on science, philosophy, culture, and invention, this is an irresistible, eye- opening delight. ; 8.4 X 5.5 X 0.9 inches; 329 pages

br. Il 6 novembre 2018, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez viene eletta alla House of Representatives per il 14° Distretto di New York. È la più giovane donna mai eletta al Congresso degli Stati Uniti. Solo qualche mese prima ha sbaragliato alle primarie democratiche Joe Crowley, uno dei più potenti politici americani. Questa è la storia di una ragazza del Bronx, costretta dalle sue vicende familiari a lavorare 18 ore al giorno come cameriera, che diventa nel giro di pochi mesi uno degli astri nascenti della politica d'oltreoceano. Il Time l'ha inserita nella lista delle 100 persone più influenti del 2019. Attraverso una meticolosa ricerca tra i suoi discorsi pubblici, i suoi tweet, i suoi interventi in Aula, le sue interviste e apparizioni televisive, Francesco Foti racconta con le parole di AOC - come è ormai ribattezzata - la storia, le campagne, le idee, lo stile e il linguaggio di una delle figure politiche più in vista del panorama statunitense e mondiale.

Forensic anthropologist Leda Hubbard embarks on a journey to Alexandria, Egypt to discover Cleopatra's final resting place. Once the glittering jewel of the Nile Queen's empire, Alexandria is now a dry and dusty city with only a hint of its past grandeur--but retains its dangerous atmosphere. Leda is not the only one searching for the fabled Queen. For whoever gets access to her genetic material will also gain access to her knowledge. And though some want to channel Cleopatra for love, others have far more sinister motives.. Book
