The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great

The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great

Andrew Chugg

AMC Publications
2007
pokkari
In 2004 the author's first book, The Lost Tomb of Alexander the Great, was published to the accompaniment of international media attention, since it reported the first credible suggestion as to the current whereabouts of the long-vanished corpse of the illustrious conqueror. In the intervening years, direct progress on testing of the candidate remains has been thwarted by the Church authorities, yet much new information has emerged, casting the enigma in an ever more probing light. It may turn out to be the greatest archaeological story of the century, for nobody has yet been able to refute the author's novel suggestion that the body stolen from Alexandria in AD828 and now in Venice may have acquired a false identity in the 4th century AD. This updated and extended account lays bare the forgotten secrets of one of the greatest mysteries bequeathed to us by the ancient world. Includes the author's several published academic articles on the subject as Appendices. Over 80 illustrations.

Alexander the Great in India: A Reconstruction of Cleitarchus

Alexander the Great in India: A Reconstruction of Cleitarchus

Andrew Chugg

AMC Publications
2009
pokkari
The most influential account of the career of Alexander the Great was penned by Cleitarchus the son of Deinon, a Greek writing in Alexandria in the decades after Alexander's death. Most of the surviving ancient texts on Alexander were more or less based upon his work, but every single copy of the original was discarded or destroyed in antiquity. To what extent might it be possible to reconstruct it from the secondary writings? This book argues that a considerable degree of reconstruction is feasible and demonstrates the point by presenting a full reconstruction of Cleitarchus' version of Alexander's campaigns in India, the first time that this has been done.

AMC Publications
2012
pokkari
Alexander's Lovers reveals the personality of Alexander the Great through the mirror of the lives of those with whom he pursued romantic relationships, including his friend Hephaistion, his queen Roxane, his mistress Barsine & Bagoas the Eunuch. Did you know that Alexander got the idea of adopting Persian dress from a book he read in his youth? Had you realised that Alexander's pursuit of divine honours was part of his emulation of Achilles, that Bagoas undertook a diplomatic mission or that Hephaistion's diplomacy kept Athens from joining a Spartan rebellion? Are you aware that Aetion's painting of Alexander's marriage depicted Hephaistion & Bagoas as well as Roxane and really depicted the King's passions? Which girl was betrothed to Alexander's son? Would it surprise you that Alexander's mourning for Hephaistion was conducted according to models from Homer and Euripides? If you would like to get to know Alexander on a more personal level, then you need to read this book. Second edition, revised & updated.

Alexander's Lovers

2006
pokkari
Alexander's Lovers is the eagerly awaited second book by the author of The Lost Tomb of Alexander the Great (see www.alexanderstomb.com) and will surely prove no less fascinating a read for those with an interest in the King. It is an exploration of Alexander's character through the mirror of the lives of the people with whom he pursued romantic relationships, including his friend Hephaistion, his queen Roxane, his mistress Barsine and Bagoas the Eunuch. Alexander's Lovers is aimed at the large range of Alexander enthusiasts who have been frustrated to find his rather intriguing love life relegated to little more than embarrassed footnotes in the conventional histories of his career. It is also rendered accessible to a wider audience with a casual interest in Alexander, through the incorporation of an 18,000-word prologue providing a concise introductory biography of the King. (Includes 44 images)

La Ricerca della Tomba di Alessandro il Grande

La Ricerca della Tomba di Alessandro il Grande

AMC PUBLICATIONS
2025
pokkari
Questa spettacolare terza edizione svela nuove prove che rivelano una connessione finora inosservata tra una scultura funeraria macedone trovata nelle fondamenta della Basilica di San Marco a Venezia e il sarcofago di un faraone egiziano spedito a Londra da Alessandria nel 1801. L'edizione precedente di questo libro ha tracciato i binari di tali reliquie per mostrare che entrambe potrebbero provenire dalla tomba di Alessandro ad Alessandria. In questo ampliato racconto, si dimostra che il rilievo scultoreo era perfettamente incastrato al sarcofago, un fatto finora oscurato da antichi danni al rilievo e da un pi recente taglio del sarcofago per mano del British Museum. L'autore scrive: "Quando mi sono imbarcato sul ponte di questa Odissea, mi sembrava che il naufragio fosse il mio destino finale, ma ora, al di l del mare infuriato e agitato, ho intravisto la riva della verdeggiante Valinor svelata davanti a me. Sebbene io possa ancora andare in rovina su qualche scoglio, lavato dalle onde dell'incredulit , io viaggio verso la rivincita, la destinazione prestabilita del mio vascello. Con la grandezza che pascola sull'orlo della riscoperta, possiamo sicuramente vedere la risoluzione di questo mistero. Quindi lascia che la mia vela sia ora spiegata per prendere il vento e conquistare l'eredit mondiale da tempo perduta di Alessandro, le parti separate della sua tomba in frantumi e del suo corpo martoriato".

The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great

The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great

AMC Publications
2019
pokkari
Uncovers a connection between a Macedonian funerary sculpture found in the foundations of the Basilica di San Marco in Venice and the sarcophagus of an Egyptian Pharaoh shipped to London from Alexandria in 1801. Traces their trails to show that both seem to come from Alexander's tomb in Alexandria. Now it is revealed that the sculptural relief was fitted to the sarcophagus, confirming the theory. The author writes: "When I embarked upon the deck of this Odyssey, it seemed to me that shipwreck was my eventual destiny, but now beyond the raging, roiling sea, I have glimpsed the shore of verdant Valinor unveiled before me. Though I may yet come to grief upon some reef, washed by waves of disbelief, I voyage on to vindication, my vessel's ordained destination. With greatness grazing on the verge of rediscovery, we may surely see the resolution of this mystery. So let my sail now be unfurled to catch the wind and win the world Alexander's long-lost legacy, the parted parts of his shattered tomb and battered body."

The Pharos Lighthouse In Alexandria

The Pharos Lighthouse In Alexandria

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
This comprehensive and insightful book brings scientific rigor to the problems of reconstructing the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and understanding how it functioned as the archetypal lighthouse in antiquity, when it was described as a “second Sun”.Conceived by Alexander the Great and designed by Sostratus, the Pharos lighthouse stood as an iconic landmark of Alexandria for sixteen centuries until felled by a calamitous earthquake in the fourteenth century. The study of this great lighthouse has been neglected relative to other ancient Wonders such as the Great Pyramid of Giza. This book reconstructs the tower, its lustrous light, stunning statues and astounding story in diligent detail through archaeological evidence and surviving antique texts and images, providing a fresh evaluation of the Pharos, its history, and its legacy. The Roman writer Achilles Tatius termed the Pharos a “second Sun”; this expression is explained and explored here for the first time, and has dramatic implications for the nature of the Pharos’ light. The volume also explores how the creation of the Pharos was a key stimulus for Alexandrian science and astronomy in antiquity.The Pharos Lighthouse in Alexandria provides a fascinating new study of this monument of interest to students and scholars of Hellenistic art, architecture, and science, and readers seeking to learn more about one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Atlas of Interstitial Lung Disease Pathology

Atlas of Interstitial Lung Disease Pathology

Andrew Churg; Nestor L. Müller

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
This objective of this atlas is to serve as an updated diagnostic resource that allows pathologists to diagnose interstitial lung disease (ILD) when they encounter it in biopsies. Pathologists often struggle in this area due to the numerous different and sometimes overlapping entities encompassed by term “ILD”. ILD pathology is unique in that diagnostic accuracy always requires correlation with the clinical and particularly the radiologic findings. This is different from most areas of pathology in which only minimal clinical/radiologic information will allow an accurate diagnosis. By including CT findings, pathologists will know what to look for in radiology reports or when talking with radiologists. A further recent development has been the increasingly widespread use of transbronchial cryobiopsy for diagnosing interstitial lung disease. What is becoming evident, however, is that there is astonishingly little in the way of pathologic guidance for making diagnoses with cryobiopsies, and pathologists struggle with them. Advances in understanding the genetics of ILD have led to realization that there are major overlaps in the genetic abnormalities associated with a UIP pattern, even if the underlying disease is fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis or connective tissue disease. A new idea is that of telomeropathy; i.e. the finding that patients with short telomeres are particularly likely to develop fibrotic lung disease, and, most importantly, should not be treated with immunosuppressive agents. Atlas of Interstitial Lung Disease: Pathology with High Resolution CT Correlations 3rd Edition is primarily directed toward non-expert pathologists who encounter interstitial lung disease specimens, as well as radiologists who want some understanding of the pathologic basis for the imaging findings. The book incorporates current clinical/radiological/pathologic guidelines and provides information on how to apply them to biopsy specimens.

China’s Foreign Policy

China’s Foreign Policy

Andrea Benvenuti; Chien-Peng Chung; Nicholas Khoo; Andrew Tan

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
This volume explains China’s foreign policy from the perspective of its historical recovery after 1949 and the country’s subsequent rise as a great power, including its transformation into a global power. It also illuminates how China has, in tandem with its rise, developed an increasing array of political, economic, ‘sharp power’ and military capabilities that is helping it to further its increasingly expansive foreign policy objectives. The volume examines two key questions: What have been the implications of China’s rise for its foreign policy? And how has an increasingly powerful and confident China used a range of foreign policy instruments to pursue its expanding national interests in Asia and beyond? The volume is divided into three parts, covering the conceptualization and drivers of China’s foreign policy, China’s relations with the world, and the instruments of China’s foreign policy, namely its economic power, military capabilities and its ‘sharp power’ manipulation of information and relationships. It will be of interest to academics, students and researchers interested in understanding China’s role in world politics.
