Book Description
La Saga dei Roesler Franz è un viaggio intimo e intenso nella storia della famiglia Roesler Franz che si è trasferita nel 1747 da Praga a Roma dove aveva la proprietà dell' Hotel d'Alemagna in via dei Condotti nel quartiere cosmopolita della città, come venne definita la zona di piazza di Spagna da Giacomo Casanova. Nella storia della famiglia il personaggio più importante è sicuramente Ettore Roesler Franz, artista che ha saputo catturare nei suoi acquerelli l'essenza di una Roma che stava scomparendo sotto i colpi del mattone per rendere Roma la capitale del nuovo stato italiano. Questo libro è molto più di una biografia: è infatti, un affresco storico e culturale, una meditazione sulla natura dell'arte e sulla capacità di essa di resistere al trascorrere del tempo. Ettore Roesler Franz, attraverso i suoi acquerelli, ha fermato il tempo, catturando la bellezza fugace di una Roma in trasformazione. Il suo progetto principale, " Roma Sparita ", è un ponte tra passato e presente, un legame visivo tra la città eterna e le sue metamorfosi. Ma è anche la storia di un uomo e del suo inquieto peregrinare nel mondo dell'arte, una vita di passioni, disillusioni e ricerca costante della bellezza.

A History of Japan
Author: Kenneth Henshall
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230346626
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Japan's impact on the modern world has been enormous. It occupies just one 300th of the planet's land area, yet came to wield one sixth of the world's economic power. Just 150 years ago it was an obscure land of paddy fields and feudal despots. Within 50 years it became a major imperial power – it's so-called 'First Miracle'. After defeat in the Second World War, when Japan came close to annihilation, within 25 years it recovered remarkably to become the world's third biggest economy – it's 'Second Miracle'. It is now not only an economic superpower, but also a technological and cultural superpower. True miracles have no explanation: Japan's 'miracles' do. The nation's success lies in deeply ingrained historical values, such as a pragmatic determination to succeed. The world can learn much from Japan, and its story is told in these pages. Covering the full sweep of Japanese history, from ancient to contemporary, this book explores Japan's enormous impact on the modern world, and how vital it is to examine the past and culture of the country in order to full understand its achievements and responses. Now in its third edition, this book is usefully updated and revised.

Deep Time of the Media
Author: Siegfried Zielinski
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 026274032X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
A quest to find something new by excavating the "deep time" of media's development—not by simply looking at new media's historic forerunners, but by connecting models, machines, technologies, and accidents that have until now remained separated. Deep Time of the Media takes us on an archaeological quest into the hidden layers of media development—dynamic moments of intense activity in media design and construction that have been largely ignored in the historical-media archaeological record. Siegfried Zielinski argues that the history of the media does not proceed predictably from primitive tools to complex machinery; in Deep Time of the Media, he illuminates turning points of media history—fractures in the predictable—that help us see the new in the old. Drawing on original source materials, Zielinski explores the technology of devices for hearing and seeing through two thousand years of cultural and technological history. He discovers the contributions of "dreamers and modelers" of media worlds, from the ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles and natural philosophers of the Renaissance and Baroque periods to Russian avant-gardists of the early twentieth century. "Media are spaces of action for constructed attempts to connect what is separated," Zielinski writes. He describes models and machines that make this connection: including a theater of mirrors in sixteenth-century Naples, an automaton for musical composition created by the seventeenth-century Jesuit Athanasius Kircher, and the eighteenth-century electrical tele-writing machine of Joseph Mazzolari, among others. Uncovering these moments in the media-archaeological record, Zielinski says, brings us into a new relationship with present-day moments; these discoveries in the "deep time" media history shed light on today's media landscape and may help us map our expedition to the media future.

Entangled Histories of the Balkans - Volume Three
Author: Roumen Daskalov
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004290362
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
Modern Balkan history has traditionally been studied by national historians in terms of separate national histories taking place within bounded state territories. The authors in this volume take a different approach. They view the modern history of the region from a transnational and relational perspective in terms of shared and connected, as well as entangled histories. This regards the treatment of shared historical legacies by rival national historiographies. The volume deals with historiograpical disputes that arose in the process of “nationalizing” the past. Contributors include: Diana Mishkova, Alexander Vezenkov, Roumen Daskalov, Tchavdar Marinov and Bernard Lory.

The Urban Microclimate as Artifact
Author: Sascha Roesler
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3035615152
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Urban microclimates cannot be explained solely on the basis of scientific phenomena, but are also affected materially and spatially by the city’s local architecture. The layout, design, and facade construction of buildings have a major impact on wind and temperature conditions. For this reason, architecture and urban design that have an effect on microclimates must be investigated in their social and cultural contexts. The publication uses international case studies to explain these relationships. The focus is on manifestations of urban microclimates in an architectural and urban design context. The places investigated are located in France, Italy, the USA, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Burkina Faso.

The Romanians and the Turkic Nomads North of the Danube Delta from the Tenth to the Mid-Thirteenth Century
Author: Victor Spinei
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004175369
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 565
Book Description
The author of the present volume aims to investigate the relationships between Romanians and nomadic Turkic groups (Pechenegs, Uzes, Cumans) in the southern half of Moldavia, north of the Danube Delta, between the tenth century and the great Mongol invasion of 1241-1242. The Carpathian-Danubian area particularly favoured the development of sedentary life, throughout the millennia, but, at various times, nomadic pastoralists of the steppes also found this area favourable to their own way of life. Due to the basic features of its landscape, the above-mentioned area, which includes a vast plain, became the main political stage of the Romanian ethnic space, a stage on which local communities had to cope with the pressures of successive intrusions of nomadic Turks, attracted by the rich pastures north of the Lower Danube. Contacts of the Romanians and of the Turkic nomads with Byzantium, Kievan Rus, Bulgaria and Hungary are also investigated. The conclusions of the volume are based on an analysis of both written sources (narrative, diplomatic, cartographic) and archaeological finds.
