Андреа Палладио (1508–1580) - одна из ключевых фигур итальянского Возрождения, зодчий, теоретик и знаток античной архитектуры.

Флоренция - как много в этом слове... История города многогранна, богата на события, интересна, захватывающа и местами трагична. Эта дочь Римской империи подарила всему миру один из самых лучших периодов в истории искусства - эпоху Возрождения. Но не всё было так гладко, и Флоренция умеет взращивать прекрасное на, казалось бы, самой неблагоприятной почве. В этой книге обнажено то, что скрывается за красивыми фресками в семейных часовнях, роскошными рыцарскими турнирами, фасадами дворцов и скульптурами; аккуратно пролистана "история болезни".

Первая часть Кодекс чести русского офицера. В русской армии офицерское звание всегда определяло принадлежность не к социальной группе, но к касте, которая жила по своим неписаным законам - по кодексу чести. В том случае, если уложения армейских уставов вступали в конфликт с положениями кодекса, выбор офицера был очевиден - в пользу кодекса чести. Офицерский суд чести был авторитетней военного трибунала, "ибо лучше быть сосланным, разжалованным, чем утратить достоинство".

Biography of a man immigrating from Africa to the United States.

Being born in poverty with all odds against him—poor, Black, and male—made Che' fair game to the savagery of what was deemed the worst ghetto in America: 1970s The Bronx, NY, home to the infamously corrupt Fort Apache police department. But if surviving that concrete jungle as a child is not inspiring enough, consider his fight against being branded as an "offender", stripped of all credibility, flogged, fired, and humiliated by being listed on the most villainous of public registries, congruent with being dragged through the one of the most scandalous criminal justice systems in America!
