Kyiv, Ukraine - Roman Adrian Cybriwsky - eBook (9789048523405)

'Kyiv, Ukraine: The City of Domes and Demons' is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the fall of the Soviet Union. It looks in detail at the historic capital of Ukraine - Europe's seventh-largest city - with emphasis on the changing social geography of the city, on urban development, and on critical problems such as official corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider's knowledge of the city, is written in an engaging style, and is nicely illustrated with numerous photographs by the author. A beautiful city that has been known for its great river, the Dnipro, and for so many spectacular churches capped with golden domes that it was once called a New Jerusalem, is today being devoured by demons of capitalist greed and corruption.

The devil's prophet - Adrian Stone - eBook (9789024571406)

The Devil's Prophet is the first book of the Devil trilogy by Dutch author Adrian Stone. Zabatha, leader and prophet of the Cataris Cult, and most loyal servant of the forbidden god Cataris, discovers in young Marak an exceptional talent for magic. In Carolia, priests and monks can channel their gods' energies and convert them into magic. The prophet would like nothing better than to make Marak his disciple, for having the boy as their pawn could grant the Catarists total domination. Poor Marak is unaware. Worse, he is scarred for life in a way that sets him apart as an adherent of the dreaded Catarists. Fortunately, support comes from an unexpected corner. A high priestess named Verina stands up for Marak and persuades him to undergo the Test, to find out how great his talent really is. This is not without consequence. Against his will, Marak will play a vital part in the game the religious fanatic Zabatha is playing with the world... 'Adrian Stone has created an interesting fantasy w…

The Unfinished History of European Integration - Carla Hoetink - eBook (9789048540198)

When the Treaty of Lisbon went into effect in December 2009, the event seemed to mark the beginning of a longer phase of institutional consolidation for the EU. Since 2010, however, the EU has faced multiple crises, which have rocked its foundations and deeply challenged the narrative of 'the end of the history of integration'. The military crisis in eastern Ukraine and the refugee crisis call for a joint approach, but in practice reveal the difficulty of maintaining even the appearance of European solidarity and political unanimity. The financial and socio-economic crisis in southern Europe and Brexit present the EU with the latest set of challenges. If seventy years of European integration have taught us anything, it is that fundamental crises as well as moments of rapid institutional change form integral parts of its history. 'The Unfinished History of European Integration' presents the reader with historical and theoretical knowledge on which well-founded judgements can be based. …

The global city debate reconsidered - Jeroen van der Waal - eBook (9789048525409)

It is hard to overestimate the scholarly impact of Saskia Sassen's theorising on the 'global city', which revolves around the impact of economic globalisation on the social, economic, and political reality of cities in advanced economies. Yet, more than two decades of research dedicated to a 'global city debate' have left its main issues unresolved. In The Global City Debate Reconsidered, Jeroen van der Waal argues that this is because scholars have hitherto merely used theorising on the global city for interpreting urban change, while neglecting to systematically assess the empirical validity of this theoretical framework. In order to enable rigorous empirical scrutiny, Van der Waal unravels the global city debate into various distinct theoretical propositions, and relates these to competing theoretical notions of Richard Florida, Edward Glaeser, Chris Hamnett, and others. The resulting fresh hypotheses are tested by using data on one of the most urbanised and globalised developed eco…

De glorie van Rome - Adrian Goldsworthy - eBook (9789401916080)

In 'De glorie van Rome' beschrijft bestsellerauteur Adrian Goldsworthy de werking en de invloed van het Romeinse leger, het beste beroepsleger dat de wereld ooit heeft gekend. De legioenen waren niet 'slechts' uit op de overwinning, maar ook op de totale vernietiging van hun vijanden. Deze agressieve Romeinse oorlogsvoering creëerde een enorm rijk, dat voor een groot deel gekenmerkt werd door vrede en welvaart. Goldsworthy brengt de alliantie tussen politiek en militaire macht in beeld. 'Als je ooit twee boeken over het Romeinse leger gaat lezen, laat dit dan één van die twee zijn,' aldus de Britse krant 'The Observer'.
