Wallpaper* City Guide Melbourne Wallpaper* 9780714877655 Books Reviews

• Wallpaper city guides aren't quite like your average guide--they focus on the architecture, art, and design of the city. I particularly liked this little Bogota guide, as much of the information available for Colombia was quite underwhelming. This guide gave a great visual picture of the city, and gave me some great ideas for which neighborhoods to visit and which sites to seek out once I arrived. Another plus, it's very small, and while it has limited information, it's also extremely easy to carry around with you while touring the city.
• I knew this wasn't going to be a standard guidebook. But the information it provides is so unsubstantial, so utterly useless, that I can't see it being helpful to anyone. There are only a couple examples in each section (shopping, restaurants) and they cater to very wealthy travelers. This guide managed also to make a number of sensationalistic claims about Colombia, with references to the former kidnap capital, the former murder capital (Medellin).
• Seriously, these are not for everyone. If you love fabulous design and that is an important part of why you travel, Wallpaper Guides are the best!
• Best pocket guides available, because they are the smallest, and actually fit in an actual pocket - imagine that. Have a map in back you can mark up, several blank pages to write your itinerary in. More "contemporary" than most guides, many average tourists won't like. Younger people may. We did.
• Mostly pictures - not much travel information - a rather strange format for what purports to be a guide
• I love all the Wallpaper* City Guides. They are so easy to travel with, doesn't take too much space in your bag and it's filled with wonderful architectural, design and cool tips of where to go and what to do while traveling to that city, this case, Washington DC.
  
  Totally recommend all of the Wallpaper* City Guides if you are into Design in general.
• not a travel guide at all,but it has beautiful pics,and interesting points of the city.The pics alone are worth the price.LOve this series,planning to buy several other city guides.
• I recently spent a day and a half in Rome, and this was an almost-perfect guide to all of the sorts of things I like to do when I visit cities. I say "almost" because there's no map! The book lists the street address for each destination, but fails to include info on how to get there (e.g., bus lines, nearest subway stop). So buy this as a handy guide to all things hip and happening, but also invest in an indexed street map so you can get where you want to go.

Le sacré semble inséparable de la pratique religieuse. De fait, il relève d’une expérience symbolique de l’altérité (la transcendance) constitutive des religions, qui se nourrit de mythes et de rites. Par le biais d’images et d’affects, il met l’homme en relation avec l’invisible sur différents modes. Mais en dépit de la laïcisation et de la sécularisation des sociétés modernes, le sacré réapparaît sous d’autres formes (poétiques, politiques, écologiques...), jusqu’à parfois conduire aujourd’hui à un retour du religieux. Ces métamorphoses récentes incitent à tenir compte des apports des sciences humaines pour en renouveler la compréhension et pour en dégager la complexité quoique ambigu, le sacré n’en est pas moins au fondement de l’expérience humaine.

Livy The Early History of Rome Books IV Penguin Classics Bks 15 Titus Livy Aubrey De Selincourt Stephen Oakley 8601300102276 Books Reviews

• The Early History of Rome is a interesting book. It is a hard read, but it is a good book to have (especially if you like history).
  
  The man who wrote this book, Titus Livius (Livy), lived from 59 B.C. to 17 A.D. He wrote 142 books on the history of Rome from 753 B.C. to 9 B.C. and only 35 books have survived. This book is about the first 5 books starting at the beginning when Rome was founded and ending after Romans take back their city and defeat the Gauls.
  The book also works fine on my fire. There was a couple times when there were 2 pages of the same page or when 2 pages were the same, but when you keep on reading you notice they skipped a page. So you go back, and when you do, both pages are the same again. They are of a different page though, and you see it is the page you were missing (this only happened 2 times). But, besides that, it was pretty good. So I would totally recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about the history of Rome.
• My title comes from Livy's opening page and it speaks to what I think is the essential point that one has to think about when deciding whether or not to read Livy. And, by the way, I think that is a serious question. Even in a long life, there are only so many books you can read. To start on Livy in the Penguin Classics edition is to start a reading project of well over two thousand pages.
  The answer to the question is dependent on what you are looking for. If you are looking to a well-researched history of early Rome then this volume of Livy (which covers Rome from its founding in the sixth century B.C.E. to 390 BC)is not for you. I recommend T.J. Cornell's The Beginnings of Rome instead.
  My point is that Livy is not writing history as we know it. In his introduction, Livy makes it clear that he is trying to hold up to the watered-down Romans of his day the distant mirror of the Romans of the past. He is trying to remind his compatriots of the greatness that was Rome.
  What he writes in this volume is a sort of national hagiography. He does so by telling small sequential stories that have moral climaxes usually in a great speech by one of the Romans, speeches that we can only regard as having been totally made up and which share many tropes with the speeches in Homer among other writers.
  We apparently have few of the sources that Livy used in his history. Unless I am mistaken, he was largely dependent on the annalistic historical tradition. This accounts for many features of his history- not least the annual listing of who served in what office, what were the auguries that occured during that year and what fantastic omens occurred.
  So, in effect, what we have in Livy could be considered a historical novel with few clear lines as to when the novel ends and the history begins. I would guess that the later volumes are founded on more solid history (as we define it) but I reserve judgment on that until I read those later volumes.
  But here is the thing. Livy wrote a really good historical novel if such it is. He tells the stories of Aeneus, of Romulus and Remus, of the Tarquins, of the rape of the Sabines, the rape of Lucretia, the battle of the Horatii and the Curiatii, of the fall of the kings, the creation of the consuls, the struggles of the plebians(yeah!) and the patricians(boo!), the creation of the tribunate, and the creation of the military tribunes. We are guided through the almost annual depradations by the dastardly Volscians or the pesky Aequian on through the destruction of Veii and then the sacking of Rome by the Gauls. We come to realize that during this period Rome never started the trouble with the neighbors. It is one of Livy's more obvious moral lessons that the one time that they did start the trouble, the city was sacked. We learn of wonderful, complicated figures such as Marcus Furius Camillus or Coriolanus.
  The final argument I will make for a reading of Livy in this brief space is that he serves as an entry point to understanding so many other people and events in later history. For example, our Founding Fathers (no such men exist these days!)felt that the history contained in writers like Livy and Plutarch provided the knowledge needed for understanding government and the world of politics. These writers influenced our history directly. Read the debates at the Constitutional Convention. There is much reference within Madison's Notes to what he learned in Livy among other writers.
  Another example- Machiavelli wrote his Discourses as a commentary on Livy. Arguably he changed the history of political theory in so doing.
  Another example- Shakespeare based his Roman plays on Livy and Plutarch.
  And finally while Livy may not be Roman history as we would understand that term, he is the best of all possible places to start your study of Roman history. His history was very popular. It fit the Roman self-image. That is an important point to grasp in the study of any people. Rome and her history await you in all her glory. Livy is the best door through which to enter. He is a delight to read, he expands your soul and his history is a great medicine for any mind.
  p.s. As is probably obvious, I am new to study of ancient history and philosophy. Please feel free to correct any egregious errors in a comment. Learn, I must.
• I'm an amateur of classical Roman history. Nothing published, no letters after my name....just a passion for all things Roman. It makes a perfect excuse for an european vacation...and when you know the back ground of the sites you are visiting, the whole thing comes alive!
  
  One thing I really learned in this text is that history, espically ancient history, is a mixture of reality and myth. You may learn some facts about events, but moreso, you see how these events were precieved by the participants based on their world view. This book has done that perfectly.
  
  The writting is smooth and its an easy read. In it you find the drama and passion and glory of Roman thru Roman eyes and watch as the...Culture, not just the city or the army, grows into a world power.
  Its everything you will find in any TV drama.. deception, hurbris, cunning, avrice...and a the glory that was once Rome!
• Really interesting history on the early Roman period, a time period which isn't really as famous or explored as the later Roman eras. It can be a bit dry and dull at points, but it is really interesting to see the rise of Roman politics and beliefs as told by a descendant in the later eras.
• When I rate works in translation I do so based on accessibility of translation, significance of work, and any issues of accuracy I could find.
  
  Livy's work is quite significant though probably of limited historical value (as the introduction discusses). On the other hand, some philologists have found Livy's work (including Dumezil) to contain patters common to other Indo-European societies and hence probably based on earlier oral and epic traditions which do not come down to us from other sources. For comparative Indo-European studies, as well as studies into early Rome, this work is indispensable.
  
  The translation is quite accessible. Highly recommended.
• Awesome read. Fascinating history, pleasantly presented. Classic.
• After i became hooked on reading Suetonius and Plutarch because of interest in the first century Romans, Livy was
  another writer who can really give you a feel for the archaic period, eg., Romulus, Decius Mus, Marcus Manlius, Scipio
  etc. who have really exciting stories not really duplicated anywhere else. His writing and this translation is brilliant.
• A classical book through the ancient eyes of a proud Roman. It takes you through the days of early Rome. The notes are very helpful to distinguish between myths and facts. The dates at the top helpf to corrolate with other histories a person may have read (e.g. Herodotus, Thuycidides). Anyone looking for a strictly historical review in the modern sense will be disappointed, but for any who are interested in the mindset of the Roman world, this book is a must.

Un approfondito “viaggio a tappe” tra le stelle del cinema, della televisione e del teatro che si sono ritagliate, tra badilate di colleghi talvolta insulsi ma esaltati da astute e costose campagne commerciali, anche una credibile e sincera carriera parallela tra sala d’incisione e palcoscenico. Dai trionfi del Rat Pack alla dedizione pianistica di Hugh Laurie e alla carica selvaggia di Juliette Lewis; dai lodati tour di registi come Woody Allen, Emir Kusturica e John Carpenter fino a insospettabili virtuosi come il pluripremiato Steve Martin o il talentuoso della sei corde Billy Bob Thornton; da Judy Garland e Jayne Mansfield fino a Ilona Staller, Whoopy Goldberg o Scarlett Johansson. Solo per fare qualche nome. Niente operazioni da ascensore o da corridoio di centro commerciale (benché, per amor di completezza, vengano qui citate anche queste figure secondarie), ma soltanto artisti realmente dotati “anche” nel ruolo di musicisti, autori e/o cantanti, protagonisti di incisioni di indubbio valore e motivati da autentica passione. Decine e decine di nomi, stranieri e italiani (a questi ultimi viene riservata un’apposita sezione da Alberto Sordi, Renato Rascel e Totò passando attraverso il poliedrico Bud Spencer e il batterista professionista Massimo Boldi per arrivare fino al rocker Claudio “Greg” Gregori, all’intimistica Violante Placido, al devoto Marco Giallini o al massiccio compositore Stefano Fresi), dei quali viene ripercorsa la carriera artistica dietro al microfono e sui palchi, aggiungendo anche elementi relativi alla discografia e alla storia personale. Vogliate gradire!

Come ho fatto a credere di poter acconsentire con tanta leggerezza a una tale insensata richiesta?

È quello che si chiederebbe chiunque, non solo Massimo, se un’amica d’infanzia, di colpo riapparsa dal passato, lo supplicasse di insegnargli tutto quello che c’è da sapere sul sesso e lui si fosse fatto convincere ad accettare.
Quale potrà mai essere il motivo dell’insolita richiesta di Amalia?
Be', tanto per cominciare, la ragazza è inesperta e teme di non essere all'altezza di Alessio, quel figo pazzesco di cui si è innamorata a prima vista, talmente bello e sicuro di sé da metterla in soggezione ma che spera, grazie alle lezioni di Massimo, di riuscire a conquistare.
Cosa accadrebbe se invece, lezione dopo lezione, Massimo si accorgesse che non sta soltanto trasmettendo delle semplici nozioni di anatomia e dintorni, ma è subentrato ben altro? Qualcosa che l’orgoglio gli impone di non svelare?
L’ambientazione torinese da Libro Cuore, le poesie di Guido Gozzano, le citazioni di Cesare Pavese e dei Subosnica fanno da sfondo a un romanzo ironico e romantico, sensuale ed erotico che rispecchia perfettamente lo stile dell’autrice.

Impara presto la bambina!
Di nuovo quella voce nella mente…
M’incupisco, rimuginando sulla vera ragione per cui Amalia vuole imparare da me tutto quello che c’è da sapere sul sesso si è messa in testa di conquistare un tale Alessio che, a detta sua, non avrebbe degnato nemmeno di uno sguardo una ragazza totalmente priva di esperienza come lei.
Il pensiero molesto, che senza alcun preavviso affiora alla mia mente, mi fa distrarre, così che i nostri denti si urtano tra loro. Amalia si stacca di colpo, senza fiato.
«Scusami», pronuncia in un soffio, passandosi il dorso della mano sulle labbra tumide e lucide di saliva.
«Non è nulla, capita» la rassicuro, compassato.
«Come sono andata?» chiede ancora, ansimante come se avesse appena fatto una corsa. Gli occhi lucidi, accesi di entusiasmo.
«Per essere la prima volta, direi abbastanza bene, ma hai bisogno di esercizio».
Vigliacco, approfittatore!, mi dico.
«Okay. Però stavolta voglio iniziare io».
