Описание: This is a detailed study of Byzantine ivory carving during an era when work in that medium reached its highest level of attainment. Unique in its aim and range, the volume considers how, when and why the Byzantines used ivory for icons and other luxurious items. Based on direct study of the objects, the book discusses more than 150 pieces and is illustrated with new photographs that provide an understanding of carving techniques and styles.
The author analyzes the normal working methods of Byzantine carvers, as well as aspects of craftsmanship that enable the identification of specific sculptors. These observations are then made the basis of both a revised chronology and a more rigorous system of classification than has existed heretofore. Similarities and differences within this body of production allow answers to such broader questions as the functions of craftsmen in this society, their relations with clients and designers, and, ultimately, the significance of ivory in the visual culture of Byzantium.

Описание: Col. George Wright's campaign against the Yakima, Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Palouse, and other Indian peoples of eastern Washington Territory was intended to punish them for a recent attack on another U.S. Army force. Wright had once appeared to respect the Indians of the Upper Columbia Plateau, but in 1858 he led a brief war noted for its violence, bloodshed, and summary trials and executions. Today, many critics view his actions as war crimes, but among white settlers and politicians of the time, Wright was a patriotic hero who helped open the Inland Northwest to settlement. ""Hang Them All"" offers a comprehensive account of Wright's campaigns and explores the controversy surrounding his legacy. Over thirty days, Wright's forces defeated a confederation of Plateau warriors in two battles, destroyed their food supplies, slaughtered animals, burned villages, took hostages, and ordered the hanging of sixteen prisoners. Seeking the reasons for Wright's turn toward mercilessness, Cutler asks hard questions: If Wright believed he was limiting further bloodshed, why were his executions so gruesomely theatrical and cruel? How did he justify destroying food supplies and villages and killing hundreds of horses? Was Wright more violent than his contemporaries, or did his actions reflect a broader policy of taking Indian lands and destroying Native cultures? Stripped of most of their territory, the Plateau tribes nonetheless survived and preserved their cultures. With Wright's reputation called into doubt, some northwesterners question whether an army fort and other places in the region should be named for him. Do historically based names honor an undeserving murderer, or prompt a valuable history lesson? In examining contemporary and present-day treatments of Wright and the incident, ""Hang Them All"" adds an important, informed voice to this continuing debate.

Автор: Leonard Cutler Название: President Trumps National Security Strategy Non-Doctrine: An Assessment ISBN: 1685076114 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781685076115 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 89750.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: President Donald Trump never developed a National Security Strategy or Doctrine. Rather he went from issue to issue, challenge to challenge, and position to position without a detailed framework or plan. Trump used unpredictability and disruption to achieve his goals and objectives, with the principal objective being playing the game better, harder, and tougher while reducing the costs and risks for American global leadership. Trumps national security approach promoted American sovereignty, military interests, and deals that advanced America first rather than reinforcing alliances that were of marginal value to our interests. President Donald Trumps transactional personalized approach to other world leaders in many instances ignored American values and interests. This was clearly the case with respect to his relationship with MbS of Saudi Arabia, Kim Jong-Un of North Korea, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and even the presidents failed attempt to pursue Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei of Iran. His willingness to accept and embrace positions taken by foreign adversaries over those of his own national security team, allies abroad, or even allies in the Congress defined Trumps approach to national security policy which preferred short term gains for him rather than securing the long term interests for the United States. Trump believed that keeping allies and adversaries perpetually off balance accrued to the benefit of the United States. America First and foremost meant that the president did not have to apologise for anything the United States did under his leadership, and he saw no adequate substitute for American power while insisting that our regional allies and coalitions bore a greater share of the burden in providing for the common defence, and he believed that we were vulnerable if our allies were resolute or unprepared. Trumps National Security Non-Doctrine has transitioned to the Biden Presidency which seeks to renew American engagement in the world in ways that reinvigorate the global norms for cooperative behaviour. The United States allies and adversaries remain the same today as they were four years ago and unilateral policies are highly unlikely to advance Americas main goals; rather, they are likely to undermine its security and prosperity. President Biden has emphasised that multilateral engagement remains in Americas interest as the best strategy to securing peace and prosperity. I reflect in the first chapter on the recent scholarly research of Frank Ninkovich, Mel Gurov, and Robert Jervis as it relates to Trumps approach to national security policy and issues and how my approach is distinct from theirs with respect to the themes and issues examined in my manuscript. I also reflect upon my personal interaction and conversation with H.R McMaster on the significance of the National Security Strategy Report of 2017, and the highly limited and questionable role that it played for the Trump Administration.
