Описание: For someone who traveled as much as he did, it is a marvel that Andy Warhol had time to make art. Desperately Seeking Warhol traces the artist's movements around the globe from international cultural hotspots like New York, Paris and Rome to lower-profile burgs such as Carbondale and Montauk - more well known now, partially as a result of Warhol's involvement. Relentless in the pursuit of new avenues to create and sell his work, Warhol set up shop in a dizzying variety of locales, working for and with other artists, musicians, controversial world leaders and more. Manhattan features heavily, with detailed maps exploring Warhol's favorite hangouts across multiple decades. The maps and location profiles here form a fascinating picture of a larger-than-life cultural icon whose energy few have been able to match since.

Описание: Una delle residenze piu significative del XVIII secolo e il Castello di Sanssouci, che Federico II fece allestire secondo le sue idee ed esigenze personali. Sotto la direzione di Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff l’edificio venne completato nel 1747, dopo solo due anni, con una struttura a un solo piano secondo i principi della “maison de plaisance” di stampo francese. Dal punto di vista formale e considerato l’apice del rococo federiciano, improntato nel repertorio delle figure, nella costruzione e nell’ubicazione sul motivo conduttore del “senza pensieri”. Sotto l’imponente cupola si trova la celebre Sala dei Marmi ovale, dove Federico usava tenere le leggendarie tavole rotonde, durante le quali coltivava in un idillio bucolico i propri interessi filosofici e artistici, in compagnia di ospiti come Voltaire. L’allestimento del XVIII secolo e rimasto in larga parte intatto, e ci offre un’immagine nitida di questo cenacolo di incontri culturali che ha contribuito a sancire la fama di Federico il Grande quale sovrano illuminato e grande mecenate.

Описание: This volume explores the potential of using both cross-sectional and longitudinal learner corpora to investigate the interlanguage of learners with various L1 backgrounds and to subsequently apply the findings to language teaching and assessment. It is made up of 18 chapters selected from papers presented at the international conference «Compiling and Using Learner Corpora», held in May 2013 at the University of Padua, Italy. The chapters discuss current issues and future developments of the use of learner corpora, present case studies based on teaching and assessment experiences in various contexts, and longitudinal corpus-based studies conducted within the Longitudinal Database of Learner English (LONGDALE) project. Other chapters report on investigations of specific aspects of the interlanguage of a variety of learner populations, and the last ones address issues of corpus compilation and representativeness. The majority of the contributions draw on data produced by EFL learners from Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the Netherlands, while others concern learners of Italian and Spanish as Foreign Languages.

My name is Castello Tyroy Gilbert, some pronounce it as Costello; but it's still the same to me. My family preferably calls me Kevin suitable of having it to fit heaven. I was the first boy in my family that realized I had enemies I stated once before in a previous book written. My journey from Jamaica was only allowing me to adapt to the same culture of living. To have each step being forgiven, like falling out of tree that grew to the height of seeing its roots desist, 13teen feet I was only three and a half when I bled; watch the news I even think they had my head in a tornado of an idea of being amused. At that time i was only imagining the distance I had within my mind, for it to be a testimony of my life trying to break away from each tournament of a boy's tormented mind. Writing solving problems a monkey had my mind; it was something I always wanted to do. It was one of my favorite thing in having being created in school, out of that same culture I found structure like circuits hardwiring itself to be led, without the ability to see pronouncing itself of having the abilities of speech; my figure tips speaks. Identifying so many things it sees as a sociopath coming to find my mind entwined with the things they needed to achieve. As a little boy I was very inquisitive about nature creation education and teachers I found myself in this novel; i won't lie to you. It was a very self proclaim book being written about things that have happened and the things that had been forgotten In which it allowed me to understand my own life and others who rectify themselves as the one being abused.

Описание: In this astonishing work of scholarship that reads like an edge-of-your-seat adventure thriller, acclaimed historian Buddy Levy records the last days of the Aztec empire and the two men at the center of an epic clash of cultures perhaps unequaled to this day. It was a moment unique in human history, the face-to-face meeting between two men from civilizations a world apart. In 1519, Hernan Cortes arrived on the shores of Mexico, determined not only to expand the Spanish empire but to convert the natives to Catholicism and carry off a fortune in gold. That he saw nothing paradoxical in carrying out his intentions by virtually annihilating a proud and accomplished native people is one of the most remarkable and tragic aspects of this unforgettable story. In Tenochtitlan Cortes met his Aztec counterpart, Montezuma: king, divinity, commander of the most powerful military machine in the Americas and ruler of a city whose splendor equaled anything in Europe. Yet in less than two years, Cortes defeated the entire Aztec nation in one of the most astounding battles ever waged. The story of a lost kingdom, a relentless conqueror, and a doomed warrior, Conquistador is history at its most riveting.
