La battaglia combattuta a Montaperti tra i guelfi di Firenze e i ghibellini di Siena, con cui combatterono molti cavalieri tedeschi, mandati da re Manfredi di Hohenstaufen, e gli esuli fiorentini di parte ghibellina capeggiati da Farinata degli Uberti nel settembre del 1260 fu una delle più grandi del Medio Evo europeo. L’esercito senese inquadrava 18.000 fanti e 400 cavalieri senesi, oltre a 800 cavalieri tedeschi e ghibellini, più 200 mercenari. I fiorentini, erano 3.000 cavalieri e 30.000 fanti. I caduti fiorentini- escludendo gli alleati guelfi- furono oltre 10.000, una cifra spaventosa su una città di 75.000 abitanti, il 13% della popolazione maschile valida, buona parte dei quali massacrati a battaglia conclusa. La battaglia fu ben più che un episodio come tanti altri delle contese municipali tra le due città toscane dal trionfo dei fuorusciti derivò la rovina del Popolo Vecchio, il governo nato con la costituzione fiorentina del 1250, e il conseguente ritorno ghibellino sotto le bandiere senesi e sveve, mentre si rialzarono per un momento le estreme fortune della casa di Hohenstaufen. L'opera è composta di due volumi con decine di illustrazioni e tavole a colori.

An African safari is arguably one of the most alluring and easily understood dreams of our time. Just the thought of an African safari evokes thoughts of adventure, a journey through nature's greatest spectacle, a glimpse of the earth before man. African Safari is an exploration of all that the word safari encompasses, from journeys on horseback and dugout canoes, the quiet drifting of a balloon and the tension of waiting on foot to the smell of dung, soil and the rain. African Safari is an intimate odyssey through the great wilderness of Africa and an eye on its wild denizens, spiced with the echoes of a romantic history. African Safari is divided into eight chapters South Africa (Kruger & the Kgalagadi)Namibia (Etosha, Damaraland and Kaokaland)Botswana (Okavango, Chobe, and Linyanti)Zimbabwe (Mana Pools and the Zambezi) Zambia (North and South Luangwa)Tanzania (Ngorongoro and the Serengeti)Kenya (Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo) Rwanda & Uganda (Parc des Volcans and Mgahinga).

  • We have visited several of these places and are enthralled with safari lodges and their culture. Enjoy reminiscing with this book!
  • Great book to remember our trip! Book was not wrapped, which I do not like because it damages the book & cover
  • A really phantastic book for African wildlife lovers! The more it is regretable that I received it damaged because of improper packaging in a caton which was far too big for the size of the book. On top of that the paperwork was wrong so that the German Post was not able to deliver and I had to drive to the customs office myself in order to release it.
  • What this lacks in colour photographs it more than makes up for in colourfull stories from even more colourfull characters
  • We saw this book when we visited Chobe Game Lodge and really wanted it, but they wouldn't ship it and it weighed to much to take along on the rest of our trip. I was very happy to see it at when I checked for it once I returned home. It made a great Xmas present for my husband and I also bought a second copy for some friends that had visited that area of Botswana an a previous trip with us.
  • I gave this as a gift, but thought it looked great. The pictures are very spectacular. last four word as required.
  • Great Book, amazing pictures....
  • This review is second hand as it was a gift. However, the couple that received it, having been to Africa twice on safari and planning another one in the future, absolutely raved about it.

To some, having the attention of four princes might be a dream come true, but for Corina, it means four times the trouble.

Escaping burning buildings, living off scraps, being hunted by vamps—those are storms she knows how to weather. It’s having the entire world observe as she and the Dynasty’s golden boys engage in a blood bond that has her shaken. For all she knows, it won’t even produce a cure for the mysterious blood sickness like they’re hoping, which could mean she’ll be put to death anyway.

And to make matters worse, as a side-effect of the bond, she finds herself falling for the very beasts she once pledged to remove from power by any means necessary.

Talk about a conflict of interest.

In the second installment of THE VAMPIRE’S MARK, will it be Corina’s mission or her emotions that prevail?

"Buckle your seatbelts everyone...our little Blackbird aka Corina has a lot happen in this book. The blood bond begins with a few of the four Princes. How was she to know the overwhelming feelings that would come from it!! Of course the bonus here is it also messes with the guys LOL. Maybe this is what it will take to open their pompous minds and hearts! Maybe see things FINALLY as they are and not what they'd been brainwashed to believe? Cori and the guys begin to learn things about themselves, each other, and the world around them. However they also quickly learn there are people in the shadows working against them....and these particular shadows are oh so close. Danger Will Robinson, danger!!! Take the plunge and see how everyone works together, or not. Can the danger be revealed? There's a cliffhanger at the end, and I have an idea someone we meet will be a MASSIVE shocking revelation to one of the Prince's. I'm hoping we will learn more in the next book. These men have no clue. They thought Cori was being obstinate and rebellious? What they haven't clued into yet, but they WILL is how huge her heart is. Loyal to those she cares about, fierce, independent, and will fight to her death for what or who she believes in. Watch out, I think things are about to explode in the next book 😉💗."

  • Step 1One-click, Step 2 Read, Step 3 Thank me later! This series does not disappoint! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this series and you MUST read in order. I am so impressed with this story & what a new and refreshing take on the vampire genre! Each book packs a serious punch of thrilling action, suspense, romance, world building.. all the right ingredients that make a book carry that little something that sets it apart from others & leaves you swooning.
    **SPOILER ALERT**
    A slow-burn, reverse harem saga in which the MC, Cori, is a flawed, yet very strong & sassy female vigilante whose clandestine operation rescues fellow humans in a world where “Ianites” (aka vampires) have established a strict monarchy, with humans being at the very bottom of the food chain. The world is separated into 4 quadrants with each being ran by a King, and each king being replaced by their devastatingly handsome heirs in a year’s time. One of the 4 Kings is Emperor and rules over all. After a mission gone wrong lands Cori in the care of Julian (the heir to the Emperor’s throne), the heirs and their human “Doll” enter into a whirlwind of scandal, secrets & eventually an attempt to escape a punishment of death leads the four Heirs Julian, Salis, Levi & Roman to agree to a blood bond with Cori. However, the blood bond is not only completely uncharted territory, it opens up another Pandora’s box for the group, just when they thought that they’d remedied the bullseye target on their backs. And although Cori is undeniably attracted to the four Princes, she yearns for home and her family of rogue human friends that she had to leave behind unwillingly. So while the Princes’ scheme and plot to keep themselves and Cori alive and out of the frying pan, Cori is busy scheming to escape and reunite with her friends, unwittingly putting not only herself but the Princes back into the frying pan and turning up the heat!

    Best New series I’ve read all year and I can’t wait to bite into the 3rd installment in the series The Vampire’s Mark Cold Heir by Rachel Jonas. Huge thanks to the author for creating such amazing works, please keep them coming!

An electrifying, dazzlingly written reckoning and an essential addition to the national conversation about race and class, Survival Math takes its name from the calculations award-winning author Mitchell S. Jackson made to survive the Portland, Oregon of his youth.

This dynamic book explores gangs and guns, near-death experiences, sex work, masculinity, composite fathers, the concept of “hustle,” and the destructive power of addiction—all framed within the story of Jackson, his family, and his community. Lauded for its breathtaking pace, its tender portrayals, its stark candor, and its luminous style, Survival Math reveals on every page the searching intellect and originality of its author. The primary narrative, focused on understanding the antecedents of Jackson’s family’s experience, is complemented by poems composed from historical American documents as well as survivor files, which feature photographs and riveting short narratives of several of Jackson’s male relatives. The sum of Survival Math’s parts is a highly original whole, one that reflects on the exigencies—over generations—that have shaped the lives of so many disenfranchised Americans. As essential as it is beautiful, as real as it is artful, Mitchell S. Jackson’s nonfiction debut is a singular achievement, not to be missed.

  • I read an excerpt of this book in a magazine, and before I even finished, I cut myself off because I knew I had to order the book and read the whole thing. I've never read such a profound, blunt, and informed reckoning of one's past as this. It also does a phenomenal job of framing the author's life in the context of his circumstances which he establishes by drawing from an extensive knowledge of recent to ancient history.

    While I've read quite a few books dealing with similar topics, this one spoke to me in ways others haven't since it was written by a contemporary of mine. While I grew up listening to the same rap music Jackson describes in the book and got heavy into education as did he, the life that to me was mainly portrayed in gangster rap songs and movies of that era was one I was mainly experiencing as if viewing in a fishbowl. Jackson himself lived it, and he had the courage to tell it like it is for the world to examine.

"Warning She spares no detail!" —Erik Larson, bestselling author of Dead Wake

In The Butchering Art, the historian Lindsey Fitzharris reveals the shocking world of nineteenth-century surgery and shows how it was transformed by advances made in germ theory and antiseptics between 1860 and 1875. She conjures up early operating theaters—no place for the squeamish—and surgeons, who, working before anesthesia, were lauded for their speed and brute strength. These pioneers knew that the aftermath of surgery was often more dangerous than patients’ afflictions, and they were baffled by the persistent infections that kept mortality rates stubbornly high. At a time when surgery couldn’t have been more hazardous, an unlikely figure stepped forward a young, melancholy Quaker surgeon named Joseph Lister, who would solve the riddle and change the course of history.

Fitzharris dramatically reconstructs Lister’s career path to his audacious claim that germs were the source of all infection and could be countered by a sterilizing agent applied to wounds. She introduces us to Lister’s contemporaries—some of them brilliant, some outright criminal—and leads us through the grimy schools and squalid hospitals where they learned their art, the dead houses where they studied, and the cemeteries they ransacked for cadavers.

Eerie and illuminating, The Butchering Art celebrates the triumph of a visionary surgeon whose quest to unite science and medicine delivered us into the modern world.

"I was absolutely riveted, start to finish. I read whole chapters of it out loud to my SO because I felt it was too fascinating not to share. Anyone from a layperson with a passing interest of medical history to a medical professional will appreciate the research, passion and thought put into this book. I enjoyed it so much that as soon as I finished it, I bought two more copies for gifts.

  • I'm only four chapters in, but couldn't wait to finish it to put in my review! I've seriously gone into work every day this week with some new interesting tidbit of information that I've learned (and likely been amazingly disgusted by). I'm a self-professed history nerd (and I majored in history), but this book is truly one anyone could read and enjoy. The author's writing style makes the narrative flow and helps you feel immersed in the time (for better or worse depending on how squeamish you might be) while still conveying such a vital piece of history and not overindulging in the gruesome parts. She paints the scene exactly as it would have been - which is certainly a shock when you think about how things are now!

    History buffs, science lovers, people in the medical profession, fans of the morbid, fans of shows like Bones (that maybe always hid their eyes during the gruesome scenes and yet always ended up watching), anyone looking for a little real-life old-school horror for their October... READ THIS BOOK.

    I know that I can't wait to finish this book (and I'll update my review if needed once I finish).

  • I learned two essential things reading ‘The Butchering Art.’ Society is benefited by the good health of all the individuals within it, and that innovation has been fought by the general population throughout human history. This book casts a light on people in the medical field in the past in a way that makes you understand that each milestone was pivotal. All points of discovery through the scientific method were crucial for new heights of understanding. So thankful for trailblazers like Joseph Lister, who had the courage to question the things accepted as facts in his time. Dr. Fitzharris takes you on a journey of the past that traces the steps through history and outlines why we know what we know about the human body and the world that surrounds us. She marries science with history in a captivating way and undeniably doesn’t spare any of the brutal details. Beautifully written and dark by nature. Definitely a must read for lovers of science and for those who aren’t faint of heart.
  • My hardback copy is here!
    I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of this through NetGalley, and seriously, the second I finished it, I went and preordered it. This is one of the best and my favorite books of the year!
    Even though I just read this, I'm already rereading this.
    In short, This book really delves into the Victorian surgery practices and thanks to Joseph Lister, for forever changing what we know about surgery today. Seriously highlighted and now tabbing seems like half of the book. So fascinating and well researched.
    Looking through the hardback copy, there is an index in the back and around 30 pages of notes on where the research came from!
    I would recommend this to anyone interested in medical, history, science, an amazing well-researched biography....ok nevermind-I would recommend this to everyone.
  • It didn't take long for me to be sucked right into this book. It only just arrived today and I'm already deep into it finding that I can't put it down! The picture Lindsey Fitzharris paints with her words is inviting and gruesome all at the same time. I have read a few other books of a similar vein and have found most of them to be informational but dry and unentertaining. There are certainly no problems with that here as it is equal parts entertainment and educational. I couldn't recommend it enough!
