A Ascensão e Queda do Império Otomano: A História da Criação do Império Turco e Sua Destruição Mais de 600 Anos Depois
Em termos de geopol tica, talvez o evento mais marcante da Idade M dia tenha sido o cerco otomano de Constantinopla em 1453. A cidade tinha sido uma capital imperial j no s culo IV, quando Constantino, o Grande, mudou o centro de poder dos romanos. Imp rio l , estabelecendo efetivamente duas metades quase igualmente poderosas do maior imp rio da antiguidade. Constantinopla continuaria a servir como a capital do Imp rio Bizantino, mesmo depois que a metade ocidental do Imp rio Romano entrou em colapso no final do s culo quinto. Naturalmente, o Imp rio Otomano tamb m usaria Constantinopla como a capital de seu imp rio ap s a conquista do Imp rio Bizantino, e gra as sua localiza o estrat gica, foi um centro comercial durante anos e continua sendo um hoje sob o nome turco de Istambul.O fim do Imp rio Bizantino teve um efeito profundo n o apenas no Oriente M dio, mas tamb m na Europa. Constantinopla tinha desempenhado um papel crucial nas Cruzadas, e a queda dos bizantinos significava que os otomanos agora compartilhavam uma fronteira com a Europa. O imp rio isl mico era visto como uma amea a pelo continente predominantemente crist o a oeste, e levou pouco tempo para diferentes na es europ ias come arem a colidir com os poderosos turcos. Na verdade, os otomanos entrariam em choque com russos, austr acos, venezianos, poloneses e outros antes de entrar em colapso como resultado da Primeira Guerra Mundial, quando faziam parte das pot ncias centrais.Ao estudar a queda do Imp rio Otomano, os historiadores argumentaram sobre o ponto de ruptura que viu um poder global l der lentamente se tornar um imp rio decadente. A fracassada batalha de Viena em 1683 certamente um importante ponto de virada para o imp rio em expans o; a derrota do gr o-vizir Kara Mustafa Pasha nas m os de uma coaliz o liderada pela dinastia austr aca dos Habsburgos, o Sacro Imp rio Romano-Germ nico e a comunidade polaco-lituana marcou o fim do expansionismo otomano. Foi tamb m o in cio de um lento decl nio durante o qual o Imp rio Otomano sofreu m ltiplas derrotas militares, viu-se atolado pela corrup o e teve de lidar com os cada vez mais rebeldes jan zaros (os soldados iniciais do Imp rio).Apesar de tudo, o Imp rio Otomano sobreviveria por mais de 200 anos, e no ltimo s culo de sua vida se esfor ou para reformar suas for as armadas, administra o e economia at que finalmente foi dissolvido. Anos antes do colapso final do Imp rio, o Tanzimat ("Reorganiza o"), um per odo de reformas violentas, levou a mudan as significativas no aparato militar do pa s, entre outros, o que certamente explica o sucesso inicial que o Imp rio Otomano conseguiu alcan ar seus rivais. Da mesma forma, a elabora o de uma nova Constitui o (Kan n-u Es s , lei b sica) em 1876, apesar de ter sido abatida pelo sult o Abdul Hamid II apenas dois anos depois, bem como seu renascimento pelo movimento "Jovens Turcos" em 1908, destaca o entendimento entre as elites otomanas de que a mudan a era necess ria e a cren a de que tal mudan a era poss vel.No geral, a hist ria da dissolu o pode ser definida como uma corrida entre a "doen a" crescente do Imp rio de um lado (a incapacidade do otomano para apaziguar e federar as v rias pessoas dentro de seu territ rio), e tentativas constantes de encontrar uma cura na forma de amplas reformas. Estas quest es s o muitas vezes apresentadas em conjunto, mas tendem a deslocar o foco para o exterior, para os v rios povos e as suas aspira es, juntamente com a crescente influ ncia da Europa sobre o destino do Imp rio Otomano. Para considerar tanto a "doen a" quanto a cura, necess rio separ -las, antes de passar para a causa direta da dissolu o do imp rio (Primeira Guerra Mundial) e sua heran a.

(c) Chisokudo Publications 2019Questo volume raccoglie e offre per la prima volta al lettore italiano tre importanti articoli dell'eminente filologo classico Kurt von Fritz (Metz, 1900 - Starnberg, 1985), pubblicati tra il 1943 e il 1946 negli Stati Uniti, dove fin dal 1938 egli era emigrato in seguito alla sua aperta opposizione al regime nazista. Questi brevi ma densi studi ripercorrono le tappe del percorso semantico di due tra i pi importanti vocaboli della cultura greca. Da Omero agli Atomisti (attraverso Esiodo, Senofane, Eraclito, Parmenide, Empedocle, Protagora e Gorgia) von Fritz segue la progressiva trasformazione di significato di nous e noein, vocaboli che originariamente attenevano al campo dell'intuizione e non ancora a quello del ragionamento.Anche disponibile in formato iBook per Apple

One by One by One Lib/E: Making a Small Difference Amid a Billion Problems
In the spirit of Tracy Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains, and joining the ranks of works by Bryan Stevenson, Matthew Desmond, Abraham Verghese and Oliver Sachs, the inspiring story of a young American neurologist's struggle to make a difference in Haiti by treating one patient--a story of social justice, clashing cultures, and what it means to treat strangers as members of our family.Dr. Aaron Berkowitz had just finished his neurology training when he was sent to Haiti on his first assignment with Partners In Health. There, he meets Janel, a 23-year-old man with the largest brain tumor Berkowitz or any of his neurosurgeon colleagues at Harvard Medical School have ever seen. Determined to live up to Partners In Health's mission statement "to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need," Berkowitz tries to save Janel's life by bringing him back to Boston for a 12-hour surgery. In One by One by One, Berkowitz traces what he learns and grapples with as a young doctor trying to bridge the gap between one of the world's richest countries and one of the world's poorest to make the first big save of his medical career.As Janel and Berkowitz travel back and forth between the high-tech neurosurgical operating rooms of Harvard's hospitals and Janel's dirt-floored hut in rural Haiti, they face countless heart-wrenching twists and turns. Janel remains comatose for months after his surgery. It's not clear he will recover enough to return to Haiti and be able to survive there. So he goes for a second brain surgery, a third, a fourth. Berkowitz brings the reader to the front lines of global humanitarian work as he struggles to overcome the challenges that arise when well-meaning intentions give rise to unintended consequences, when cultures and belief systems clash, and when it's not clear what the right thing to do is, let alone the right way to do it. One by One by One is a gripping account of the triumphs, tragedies, and confusing spaces in between as an idealistic young doctor learns the hard but necessary lessons of living by the Haitian proverb tout moun se moun--every person is a person.
The Killer's Shadow Lib/E: The Fbi's Hunt for a White Supremacist Serial Killer
The legendary FBI criminal profiler and international bestselling author of Mindhunter and The Killer Across the Table returns with this timely, relevant book that goes to the heart of extremism and domestic terrorism, examining in-depth his chilling pursuit of, and eventual prison confrontation with Joseph Paul Franklin, a White Nationalist serial killer and one of the most disturbing psychopaths he has ever encountered.Worshippers stream out of an Midwestern synagogue after sabbath services, unaware that only a hundred yards away, an expert marksman and avowed racist, antisemite and member of the Ku Klux Klan, patiently awaits, his hunting rifle at the ready. The October 8, 1977 shooting was a forerunner to the tragedies and divisiveness that plague us today. John Douglas, the FBI's pioneering, first full-time criminal profiler, hunted the shooter--a white supremacist named Joseph Paul Franklin, whose Nazi-inspired beliefs propelled a three-year reign of terror across the United States, targeting African Americans, Jews, and interracial couples. In addition, Franklin bombed the home of Jewish leader Morris Amitay, shot and paralyzed Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, and seriously wounded civil rights leader Vernon Jordan. The fugitive supported his murderous spree robbing banks in five states, from Georgia to Ohio. Douglas and his writing partner Mark Olshaker return to this disturbing case that reached the highest levels of the Bureau, which was fearful Franklin would become a presidential assassin--and haunted him for years to come as the threat of copycat domestic terrorist killers increasingly became a reality. Detailing the dogged pursuit of Franklin that employed profiling, psychology and meticulous detective work, Douglas and Olshaker relate how the case was a make-or-break test for the still-experimental behavioral science unit and revealed a new type of, determined, mission-driven serial killer whose only motivation was hate. A riveting, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential exploration of the criminal personality in the vile grip of extremism and what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatred of the "other is allowed full reign.

A WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - From the award-winning historian and best-selling author of Gettysburg comes the definitive biography of Robert E. Lee. An intimate look at the Confederate general in all his complexity--his hypocrisy and courage, his inner turmoil and outward calm, his disloyalty and his honor. "An important contribution to reconciling the myths with the facts." --New York Times Book Review Robert E. Lee is one of the most confounding figures in American history. Lee betrayed his nation in order to defend his home state and uphold the slave system he claimed to oppose. He was a traitor to the country he swore to serve as an Army officer, and yet he was admired even by his enemies for his composure and leadership. He considered slavery immoral, but benefited from inherited slaves and fought to defend the institution. And behind his genteel demeanor and perfectionism lurked the insecurities of a man haunted by the legacy of a father who stained the family name by declaring bankruptcy and who disappeared when Robert was just six years old. In Robert E. Lee, the award-winning historian Allen Guelzo has written the definitive biography of the general, following him from his refined upbringing in Virginia high society, to his long career in the U.S. Army, his agonized decision to side with Virginia when it seceded from the Union, and his leadership during the Civil War. Above all, Guelzo captures Robert E. Lee in all his complexity--his hypocrisy and courage, his outward calm and inner turmoil, his honor and his disloyalty.
