History of Las Vegas: A Captivating Guide to Historical Events and Facts You Should Know About the Entertainment Capital...

A fantasy playground in an unforgiving desert. A town that refused to fail. A gambling mecca that never closes. Las Vegas. Sin City.Situated in a barren desert landscape, Las Vegas exists for one reason-water. Popular as a waystation for travelers, the Las Vegas Valley attracted the attention of railroad visionaries at the end of the 19th century. After purchasing land from a local widow, the developers laid out a town in 1905. Vegas hasn't slowed down since.Building on one opportunity after another, the citizens of that railroad town refused to entertain the notion that they could fail. Buoyed by the building of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) during the Great Depression, Vegas played a major role in World War II. But the war years also put Las Vegas on the radar of organized crime as a wide-open town ripe for casinos that hid

Indigenous Borderlands: Native Agency, Resilience, and Power in the Americas Rivaya-Martnez Joaqun

Pervasive myths of European domination and indigenous submission in the Americas receive an overdue corrective in this far-reaching revisionary work. Despite initial upheavals caused by the European intrusion, Native people often thrived after contact, preserving their sovereignty, territory, and culture and shaping indigenous borderlands across the hemisphere. Borderlands, in this context, are spaces where diverse populations interact, cross-cultural exchanges are frequent and consequential, and no polity or community holds dominion. Within the indigenous borderlands of the Americas, as this volume shows, Native peoples exercised considerable power, often retaining control of the land, and remaining paramount agents of historical transformation after the European incursion. Conversely, European conquest and colonialism were typically slow and incomplete, as the newcomers struggled to

Earthly Delights - Jonathan Jones

A new narrative history of the Renaissance that takes in the whole of Europe and its global context, written by one of the UK’s foremost art critics. What was the 'Renaissance'? In the nineteenth century this flowering of creativity and thought was celebrated as the birth of the modern world. Today many historians are sceptical about its very existence.Earthly Delights rekindles the Renaissance as a seismic change in European mentalities, in a panoramic history that encompasses Florence and Bruges, London and Nuremberg. Artists from northern as well as southern Europe, including Leonardo, Bosch, Bruegel and Titian, star in a captivating and beautifully illustrated narrative that sets their lives against a period of convulsive change across a continent that was finding itself as it â€~discovered’ the world. Art critic and writer Jonathan Jones tells the story of Renaissance artists as pioneers, adventurers and â€~geniuses’, a Renaissance concept.Albrecht DA1rer gazes with wonder on Aztec art in Brussels in 1520, Leonardo da Vinci tries to perfect a flying machine, Hieronymus Bosch finds inspiration in West African ivory carvings imported by the Portuguese to Antwerp. A then unknown Netherlandish painter, Pieter Bruegel, arrives in 1550s Rome just as Michelangelo is striving in the same city to raise the new St Peter’s Basilica towards heaven. From Atlantic voyages to Germanic woods, Italian palazzi to the royal castle of Prague, this was an age when people dared to experiment with the occult and dabble in utopias: to think and create new worlds.

How To Solve Your Own Murder - Kristen Perrin

FRANCES ALWAYS SAID SHE'D BE MURDERED...SHE WAS RIGHT.In 1965, when Frances Adams was seventeen, a fortune teller told her that one day she'd be murdered. Thus began a lifetime of trying to prevent the crime that would be her eventual demise.No one took Frances seriously for sixty years - until, of course, she was murdered. But for Frances, being the village busybody was a form of insurance. She'd spent a lifetime compiling dirt on every person she met, just in case they might turn out to be her killer. In the heart of her sprawling country estate lies an eccentric library of detective work, where the right person could step in and use her findings to solve her murder.When her great-niece Annie arrives from London and discovers that Frances' worst fear has come true, Annie is thrust into her great-aunt's last act of revenge against her sceptical friends and family. Frances' will stipulates that the person who solves her murder inherits her millions, and she's challenged a group that includes Annie to prove to the world that Frances was right all along about her future.Can Annie unravel the mystery and find justice for Frances, or will digging up the past lead her into the path of the killer?

Dějiny Mosambiku - Jan Klíma

Mosambická republika je dnes konsolidovaným, lidnatým a slibným africkým státem, který přitahuje stále víc českých turistů, podnikatelů, ale i humanitárních pracovníků. Rychlý běh dějin a současná přeměna Mosambiku v nepostradatelného světového dodavatele surovin způsobily, že ranější práce rychle zastarávají. Navíc historická věda poslední dobou přinesla dlouhou řadu hodnotných studií a digitalizace zpřístupnila dříve nedostupné prameny, což spolu s měnící se globální scénou nutí k doplnění, přepracování, či dokonce revizi dosavadních stanovisek i faktů. Pokládáme proto za užitečné, aby čeští afrikanisté, historikové i další zájemci o světový vývoj dostali aktualizovaný text. Zaslouží si to vzestupující Afrika i Mosambik jako jedna z historicky nejexponovanějších a v současnosti nejvýznamnějších afrických zemí.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky českýPočet strán 484Dátum uvedenia titulu 2024-01-08Rozmery 217x168x31Hmotnosť 795gTypKnihy viazané
