[content title="Description"]Agrippina the Younger attained a level of power in first-century Rome unprecedented for a woman. According to ancient sources, she achieved her success by plotting against her brother, the emperor Caligula, murdering her husband, the emperor Claudius, and controlling her son, the emperor Nero, by sleeping with him. Modern scholars tend to accept this verdict. But in his dynamic biography-the first on Agrippina in English-Anthony Barrett paints a startling new picture of this influential woman. Drawing on the latest archaeological, numismatic, and historical evidence, Barrett argues that Agrippina has been misjudged. Although she was ambitious, says Barrett, she made her way through ability and determination rather than by sexual allure, and her political contributions to her time seem to have been positive. After Agrippina's marriage to Claudius there was a marked decline in the number of judicial executions and there was close cooperation between the Senate and the emperor; the settlement of Cologne, founded under her aegis, was a model of social harmony; and the first five years of Nero's reign, while she was still alive, were the most enlightened of his rule. According to Barrett, Agrippina's one real failing was her relationship with her son, the monster of her own making who had her murdered in horrific and violent circumstances. Agrippina's impact was so lasting, however, that for some 150 years after her death no woman in the imperial family dared assume an assertive political role.

[content title="Description"]This book recounts the development of experiment and theory in natural particle surface chemistry over the past 20 years. It offers a broadly based discussion of molecular spectroscopy, kinetics, and equilibria as they apply to natural particle surface reactions in aqueous media, with emphasis on insights gained over the past few years. After a review of qualitative notions about ion adsorption by natural particles, the strategies and theory of four spectroscopic approaches to studying natural particles are described, current models of surface chemical kinetics and equilibria are examined, and natural particle colloidal phenomena are detailed. Discussion is accompanied by lengthy annotations and reading suggestions, and punctuated by end-of-chapter problem sets that require a critical reading of important technical journal articles.

[content title="Description"] Devenir, l’autobiographie de Michelle Obama parue en novembre 2018 en Amérique du Nord et dans plusieurs pays d’Europe, était très attendue du fait de la popularité de la Première dame des États-Unis, qui fut aussi la première locataire afro-américaine de la Maison-Blanche. La narration se déroule de façon chronologique, en trois parties qui sont autant de déclinaisons du titre de l’ouvrage : la première, Devenir moi, retrace son enfance et sa jeunesse jusqu’à sa rencontre avec Barack Obama en 1989 ; la deuxième, Devenir nous, porte sur la période de vie commune jusqu’à l’élection de 2008, tandis que la troisième – Devenir plus – évoque les années passées à la Maison-Blanche. Avec presque un million et demi d’exemplaires vendus en une semaine le succès a été immédiat, et il demeure l’un des plus grands best sellers de sa catégorie avec plus de 14 millions d’exemplaires vendus à ce jour dans différents pays du monde. Traduit en 24 langues, et très favorablement reçu par les critiques et les lecteurs, le livre tient la dragée haute aux mémoires de son illustre mari, qui connaissent pourtant d’ores et déjà un succès éditorial inédit pour un ancien président des États-Unis.[/content]

[content title="Description"] Description


In November 2014, the Biden family gathered on Nantucket for their traditional Thanksgiving celebration; it was the one constant in their hectic, scrutinized, and over-scheduled lives. But this year felt different from all those that had come before. Joe and Jill Biden’s eldest son, Beau, had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, and his survival was uncertain. “Promise me, Dad,” Beau had told his father. “Give me your word that no matter what happens, you’re going to be all right.” Promise Me, Dad chronicles the year that followed, the most momentous and challenging in Joe Biden’s extraordinary life and career.[/content]

[content title="Description"]

The latest installment of the multimillion-selling Killing series is a gripping journey through the American West and the historic clashes between Native Americans and settlers.

The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It's 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh's alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage on for decades.

Bestselling authors Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country's founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson's brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe's epic "sea to shining sea" policy, to President Martin Van Buren's cruel enforcement of a "treaty" that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be...
