Slavery in the Late Antique World, 150 - 700 CE707,-1179,Slavery in the Late Antique World, 150 ¿ 700 CE investigates the ideological, moral, cultural, and symbolic aspects of slavery, as well the living conditions of slaves in the Mediterranean basin and Europe during a period of profound transformation. It focuses on socially marginal areas and individuals on an unprecedented scale. Written by an international team of scholars, the volume establishes that late ancient slavery is a complex and polymorphous phenomenon, one that was conditioned by culture and geography. Rejecting preconceived ideas about slavery as static and without regional variation, it offers focused case studies spanning the late ancient period. They provide in-depth analyses of authors and works, and consider a range of factors relevant to the practice of slavery in specific geographical locations. Using comparative and methodologically innovative approaches, this book revisits and questions established assumptions about late ancient slavery. It also enables fresh insigPublished: January 23, 2026 08:04Other BrandHistorie og dokumentar
Falklands War: Then and Now377,-566,In 1982, Argentina rashly gambled that a full-scale invasion of the Falklands Islands - ownership of which had been disputed with Great Britain for over a century - would put an end to years of political wrangling. This title lists the casualties of both sides and the graves of all the British fallen - both on the islands and the United Kingdom.Published: January 23, 2026 08:04Other BrandHistorie og dokumentar

The Sun of Knowledge (Shams al-Ma'arif)353,-589,<p>The <em>Sun of Knowledge</em> (<em>Shams al-Ma''arif</em>) is one of the most revered historical grimoires of the Arabic corpus. Feared by some, hallowed by others, it is one of the most famous - or infamous - books in the Arabic-speaking and Islamicate world. Written in Egypt in the thirteenth century by a Sufi mystic and mage of Algerian origin, the <em>Shams</em> presents the fundamentals of Arabic-Islamic occult work - from spiritual cosmology and astrology (including various particularly lunar magics) to working with spirits and jinn, magical employment of letters and numbers, and the occult applications of the <em>Qur''an</em> - thereby comprising a veritable encyclopedia of Islamicate magical wisdom and formulae. Images and descriptions of amulets and talismans adorn it. Numerous beautiful manuscripts of the <em>Sun of Knowledge</em> have survived, various of which have been used as a basis for this present work.</p><p><br></p><p>NeverPublished: January 23, 2026 08:04Revelore PressHistorie og dokumentar
Porsche 356491,-819,<B>Porsche 356: 75th Anniversary relates the full story of Porsche’s original sports car from the first Gmund coupe to today’s beloved collector car.</B><BR/><BR/> Ferdinand Porsche was a brilliant engineer who, prior to World War II, had been involved in a variety of significant automotive engineering developments including the first hybrid drive  vehicles. From the early 1900s, Porsche was developing racing cars including the Mercedes SSK and the mighty Auto Union Grand Prix. During this period, Porsche also developed the groundbreaking Volkswagen, which would prove critical to his postwar, namesake automobile manufacturer.<BR/><BR/> The <B>Typ 356 was developed by Ferdinand’s son “Ferry” Porsche and introduced in 1948</B>. Though the rear-engine layout was based on the Volkswagen, most similarities ended there. The 356 had a unique chassis, higher performing engine, and a handsome wind-cheating body. Little knPublished: January 23, 2026 08:04Quarto Publishing Group Usa IncHistorie og dokumentar
The Dominicans in the British Isles and Beyond707,-1179,The history of the Dominicans in the British Isles is a rich and fascinating one. Eight centuries have passed since the Friars Preachers landed on England''s shores. Yet no book charting the history of the English Province has appeared for close on a hundred years. Richard Finn now sets right this neglect. He guides the reader engagingly and authoritatively through the medieval, early modern and contemporary periods: from the arrival of the first Black Friars ¿ and the Province''s 1221 foundation by Gilbert de Fresnay ¿ to Dominican missions to the Caribbean and Southern Africa and seismic changes in church and society after Vatican II. He discusses the Province''s medieval resilience and sudden Reformation collapse; attempts in the 1650s to restore it; its Babylonian Exile in the Low Countries; its virtual disappearance in the nineteenth century; and its unlikely modern revival. This is an essential work for medievalists, theologians and historians alike.Published: January 23, 2026 08:04Cambridge University PressHistorie og dokumentar

Process Design for Cryogenics899,-1499,<p><b>Up-to-date overview of the method for producing the main industrial gases</b><p>This book covers process design for cryogenic processes like air separation, natural gas liquefaction, and hydrogen and helium liquefaction. It offers an overview of the basics of cryogenics and information on process design for modern industrial plants. Throughout, the book helps readers visualize the theories of thermodynamics related to cryogenics in practice. A central concept in the book is the connection between the theoretical world of process design and the real limitations given by available hardware components and systems. <p>Sample topics covered in this book include: <ul><li>Cryogenic gases like nitrogen, oxygen, argon, neon, hydrogen, helium and methane</li><li>Thermodynamics</li><li>Typical cryogenic refrigeration processes, including the classic Joule Thomson process, the contemporary mixed-gas Joule Thomson process, and expander-based processes like Brayton and Claude cycles</li><li>HePublished: January 23, 2026 08:04Other BrandHistorie og dokumentar

Flight Physics353,-530,Knowledge is not merely everything we have come to know, but also ideas we have pondered long enough to know in which way they are related, and 1 how these ideas can be put to practical use. Modern aviation has been made possible as a result of much scienti c - search. However, the very rst useful results of this research became ava- able a considerable length of time after the aviation pioneers had made their rst ights. Apparently, researchers were not able to nd an adequate exp- nation for the occurrence of lift until the beginning of the 21st century. Also, for the fundamentals of stability and control, there was no theory available that the pioneers could rely on. Only after the rst motorized ights had been successfully made did researchers become more interested in the science of aviation, which from then on began to take shape. In modern day life, many millions of passengers are transported every year by air.
