2010The Poison King describes a life brimming with spectacle and excitement. Claiming Alexander the Great and Darius of Persia as ancestors, Mithradates inherited a wealthy Black Sea kingdom at age fourteen after his mother poisoned his father. He fled into exile and returned in triumph to become a ruler of superb intelligence and fierce ambition. Hailed as a savior by his followers and feared as a second Hannibal by his enemies, he envisioned a grand Eastern empire to rival Rome. After massacring eighty thousand Roman citizens in 88 BC, he seized Greece and modern-day Turkey. Fighting some of the most spectacular battles in ancient history, he dragged Rome into a long round of wars and threatened to invade Italy itself. His uncanny ability to elude capture and surge back after devastating losses unnerved the Romans, while his mastery of poisons allowed him to foil assassination attempts and eliminate rivals. ; 448 pages

1996A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. Full brown cloth boards. 8"w x 10 3/4"h. 162 pages. Black and white photos and illustrations. "Drawing upon a lifetime's knowledge, Patterns of Stylistic Change in Islamic Architecture presents Michael Meinecke's unique view of the evolution and development of Islamic architecture. Departing from conventional method which groups buildings and monuments according to dynasties and defines national characteristics based on the ethnic origins of Arabic, Persian, or Turkish patrons, Meinecke emphasizes the similarities which resulted from interrelations among neighboring or far-away areas. He argues that transformations in the development of Islamic architecture can be explained by the movements of skilled craftsmen who traveled extensively in their search for challenging work, allowing for their influence to be felt across a broad region. Meinecke's unique approach to Islamic architecture will no doubt inspire others to emulate his approach in studying other regions or areas. Few, however, will be able to attain the consummate mastery of the subject which enlivens these essays." [publisher]

2020brossura Il periodo storico esaminato, dei regni di Napoli e di Sicilia, viene sviluppato in maniera essenziale ma completa e corredata da numerose note a piè di pagina per fornire dettagli, commenti e collegamenti. Dopo un trentennio di successioni dinastiche si istituì il regno borbone (1735-1861) che a Napoli fu interposto dalla breve esperienza della Repubblica Napoletana (1799) e dal regno napoleonico (1806-1815) prima che il Congresso di Vienna unificasse i due regni nel Regno delle due Sicilie. Il collasso di questo si è realizzato, a seguito di un periodo rivoluzionario in cui, senza sostanziali aiuti esterni, non sarebbe bastata la potenzialità rivoluzionaria del popolo, per disfarsi del regime Borbone, nella vana speranza di acquisire riforme sociali da secoli vagheggiate. La conseguente annessione del Regno delle due Sicilie al regno sardo-piemontese fu seguita da eventi che segnarono la sensibilità del popolo meridionale. Vengono analizzati il prezzo dell'unificazione, le inchieste successive e il proporsi della questione meridionale.
