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
64 pages. In small communities throughout the western world, from the 1880s until the development of the hand-held camera in the twentieth century, the town portrait photographer was the chronicler of his time. Duncan Donovan (1857-1933) of Alexandria, Glengarry County, Ontario, was typical. He portrayed the ceremonial events of life from birth to death, and the stages in between. Author has chosen the most appealing of Donovan's photographs from the plates that have survived. Presents life in a small Ontario town and its environs in the early 20th century. Unmarked. Light wear to edges of dust jacket. Excellent copy. Book

Corpus Ponderum Antiquorum et Islamicorum Turkey 3: Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Collection at the Pera Museum. Part 2: Late Roman and Byzantine weights. There are over five thousand weights from the Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Collection at the Pera Museum, ranging in date from the Ancient Near Eastern Civilizations, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. This large collection will be published in a number of separate volumes as part of the series of Corpus Ponderum Antiquorum et Islamicorum. The first volume covers 635 Greek and Roman weights. The Roman truncated spheres are included in the second volume, which covers the Late Roman and Byzantine weights. The majority of the weights in the Suna and Inan Kirac Foundation Collection were acquired over a period of thirty years by Inan Kirac through various local and international auctions and collectors. The present second volume, completed in a three-year-long study, covers the Late Roman and Byzantine weights in the same collection. The catalogue covers 742 weights, 38 of which are of glass. The majority of the weights were acquired between 2005 and 2008. In the catalogue 201 weights are grouped under the title of "Commercial Weights" while 456 weights are grouped under the title of "Coin Weights". Furthermore, the catalogue covers circular weights with concentric circles and bowl-shaped weights both of which date to the Middle Byzantine Period.
