Download or read book Drafting Italy written by Marco Rovinello and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive history of conscription and the military in Italy from the Restoration to the eve of WWI. The comparative and transnational approach enables this work to compare and contrast the Italian experience with that of many other countries in the world as well as understand transfers and the adaptive and imitative processes that emerge when conscription and the military are viewed from an Italian perspective. Peacetime and wartime recruitment, military life, culture, justice and civil-military relationships are analysed using a wide range of sources and an interdisciplinary approach that combines top-down and bottom-up perspectives. This enables the book not only to assess the contribution the military has made to the country in terms of state-building, nation building, modernization, pedagogical and disciplinary models, gender identity and roles, but also to reconsider the standard taxonomies as well as some established evolutionary models of the armies. Moreover, the Italian military is seen as an internally complex world that is incapable of defining its own one-dimensional identity or of imposing any such identity on its members. Consequently, it is an element in the history of a country that is substantially the same as any other such element and thus important in people’s collective and individual lives whether or not they are in uniform. Rather than being an object of study in and of itself, the military becomes a vantage point from which to observe the Italian history in the long 19th century. Therefore, this book can be profitably read by professional military historians and non-specialist readers interested in the military, as well as by all scholars working on Italian pre- and post-unification political, institutional, socio-economic, cultural and gender history.

Download or read book Drawing Italy written by David George Holm and published by Jane Curry. This book was released on 2009 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of Australia’s leading architects, David Holm is passionate about drawing, the built environment and Italy. These three passions are brought together in 'Drawing Italy' to create this intelligent and beautiful guide book to the architecture of Italy.Why Italy?“Italy is arguably the most geographically compact crucible of western architecture in the world. Etruscan, Roman, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Mannerist, Baroque, Neoclassicism, Fascist, Modernist and contemporary architecture are all represented, sometimes iconically, within Italy.”David explains each architectural style as he takes us a grand tour of Italy region by region, showing all the piazzas, chiesi and palazzo. His drawings are remarkable for their detail and beauty. Designed for use on the ground (hence the flexi-bound paperback format) as well as in the armchair, Drawing Italy shows us all the major sites of Florence, Rome, Venice, Sienna as well as lesser known but memorable churches and buildings.

He wrote on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, Christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton is often referred to as the "prince of paradox". Whenever possible, Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, and allegories—first carefully turning them inside out. Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics and even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the universal appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton, as a political thinker, cast aspersions on both progressivism and conservatism, saying, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected." Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify such a position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius".
