[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.

The Surface Chemistry of Natural Particles

[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.

Discover the Greatest Lessons in the life of Elon Musk!

Elon Musk: The Greatest Lessons through the Inspiring Life of Elon Musk is a short-read pact with all the important life lessons of Elon Musk. You will experience a cross between a biographical account of his life and a motivational toolkit with the best advice to follow suite of such grand success.


Excerpt from the Forward

...One such great man is Elon Musk, as a young man, Musk determined three main things that were likely to change the world in his lifetime, the internet, renewable energy and space travel. Then, he set out to make a splash in those three arenas. Starting with a $28,000 loan, he formed an early internet startup business, made $22 million, from what was the largest ever startup sale at the time, created a company that eventually became half of PayPal and then used the money from the sale of that company to create a cheaper form of space travel and invest heavily in electric cars....


If you read to discover secrets of the successful, or to better understand historical figures, or even just to take a break from the rest of the world, no matter what the reason, this book will be a great addition to your bookshelf.[/content]

Vous savez qu’Einstein est à l’origine de la formule E = mc2, sans toutefois la comprendre. Vous connaissez cette fameuse photo du physicien tirant la langue, en ignorant tout du personnage. Vous avez entendu évoquer les théories de la relativité sans jamais oser demander ce dont il s’agissait. Désormais, grâce à Einstein en 3 minutes, vous saurez tout de son œuvre en un rien de temps.

Cet ouvrage de vulgarisation intelligente vous éclairera sur la vie, les théories et l’influence de celui qui révolutionna la physique. Chaque double page, abondamment illustrée, présente un aspect de son histoire personnelle ou de son apport scientifique en trois courts paragraphes très clairs, à lire en 3 minutes. Chacun des trois chapitres renferme ainsi une heure de découvertes fascinantes.
Vous accéderez à la pensée de l’une des figures majeures de la physique, prix Nobel en 1921, qui provoqua dans l’histoire des sciences une mutation comparable à celle initiée par Newton deux siècles plus tôt. Avec ses théories de la relativité, il bouleversa profondément les notions physiques d’espace et de temps.

Einstein en 3 minutes vous familiarisera instantanément avec ce génie, qui fut également un défenseur infatigable des droits de l’homme. Un livre qui se parcourt à la vitesse de la lumière![/content]

A Certain Amount of Madness: The Life, Politics and Legacies of Thomas Sankara

[content title="Description"] Description


Thomas Sankara was one of Africa's most important anti-imperialist leaders of the late 20th Century. His declaration that fundamental socio-political change would require a 'certain amount of madness' drove the Burkinabe Revolution and resurfaced in the country's popular uprising in 2014. This book looks at Sankara's political philosophies and legacies and their relevance today. Analyses of his synthesis of Pan-Africanism and humanist Marxist politics, as well as his approach to gender, development, ecology and decolonisation offer new insights to Sankarist political philosophies. Critical evaluations of the limitations of the revolution examine his relationship with labour unions and other aspects of his leadership style. His legacy is revealed by looking at contemporary activists, artists and politicians who draw inspiration from Sankarist thought in social movement struggles today, from South Africa to Burkina Faso. In the 30th anniversary of his assassination, this book illustrates how Sankara's political praxis continues to provide lessons and hope for decolonisation struggles today.[/content]

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...
