Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Set in New Orleans, this important and powerful novel follows the Boisdoré family . . . in the months after Katrina. A profound, moving and authentically detailed picture of the storm’s emotional impact on those who lived through it.” —People In this dazzling debut about family, home, and grief, C. Morgan Babst takes readers into the heart of Hurricane Katrina and the life of a great city. As the storm is fast approaching the Louisiana coast, Cora Boisdoré refuses to leave the city. Her parents, Joe Boisdoré, an artist descended from freed slaves who became the city’s preeminent furniture makers, and his white “Uptown” wife, Dr. Tess Eshleman, are forced to evacuate without her, setting off a chain of events that leaves their marriage in shambles and Cora catatonic—the victim or perpetrator of some violence mysterious even to herself. This mystery is at the center of Babst’s haunting and profound novel. Cora’s sister, Del, returns to New Orleans from the successful life she built in New York City to find her hometown in ruins and her family deeply alienated from one another. As Del attempts to figure out what happened to her sister, she must also reckon with the racial history of the city and the trauma of a disaster that was not, in fact, some random act of God but an avoidable tragedy visited on New Orleans’s most vulnerable citizens. Separately and together, each member of the Boisdoré clan must find the strength to remake home in a city forever changed. The Floating World is the Katrina story that needed to be told—one with a piercing, unforgettable loveliness and a vivid, intimate understanding of this particular place and its tangled past.

Download or read book Slaves and Slavery in Ancient Rome written by Zvi Yavetz and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enormous numbers of slaves were absorbed into Roman society from the third century B.C. onwards. Mainly enslaved prisoners of war, they transformed the quality of life in the Roman Empire beyond recognition. In this anthology the author offers a complete collection of Greek and Latin sources in an English translation which deal with the great slave rebellions in the second and first centuries B.C. In a postscript Zvi Yavetz surveys the controversy on slaves and slavery from the French Revolution to our own days, with an emphasis on the debate between Marxists and non-Marxists. The book is intended for specialists and generalists alike, including those who have had no previous classical education, but could after delving in sources concern themselves with one of the most intriguing problems in world history. Zvi Yavetz holds the Lessing Chair of Roman History at Tel Aviv University, Israel, and is distinguished visiting professor at Queens College of the City University of New York. He is the author of many books in Hebrew, French and German on Roman history among which are Julius Caesar and His Public Image and Plebs and Princips.

Download or read book Slaves and Masters in the Roman Empire written by K. R. Bradley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1987 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book is the first to show how the institution of slavery, one of the most characteristic and enduring features of Roman imperial society, was maintained over time and how, at the practical level, the lives of slaves in the Roman world were directly controlled by their masters. The author demonstrates, first, how the tensions generated between slaves and masters can be perceived in the ancient sources, and, second, how those tensions were dealt with, as masters treated their slaves with varying forms of generosity and punishment in order to elicit obedience from them. Special attention is given to the slaves' family lives, to their acquisition of freedom through manumission, and to the climate of violence that surrounded them. Emphasizing the harsh realities of Roman slavery in a new way, this important book will stir intense debate among scholars and students.

Download or read book The Golden Thread written by Ewan Clayton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the simple representative shapes used to record transactions of goods and services in ancient Mesopotamia, to the sophisticated typographical resources available to the twenty–first–century users of desktop computers, the story of writing is the story of human civilization itself. Calligraphy expert Ewan Clayton traces the history of an invention which—ever since our ancestors made the transition from a nomadic to an agrarian way of life in the eighth century BC—has been the method of codification and dissemination of ideas in every field of human endeavour, and a motor of cultural, scientific and political progress. He explores the social and cultural impact of, among other stages, the invention of the alphabet; the replacement of the papyrus scroll with the codex in the late Roman period; the perfecting of printing using moveable type in the fifteenth century and the ensuing spread of literacy; the industrialization of printing during the Industrial Revolution; the impact of artistic Modernism on the written word in the early twentieth century—and of the digital switchover at the century's close. The Golden Thread also raises issues of urgent interest for a society living in an era of unprecedented change to the tools and technologies of written communication. Chief among these is the fundamental question: "What does it mean to be literate in the early twenty–first century?" The book belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who is inquisitive not just about the centrality of writing in the history of humanity, but also about its future; it is sure to appeal to lovers of language, books and cultural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il nuovo Codice dei contratti pubblici - adottato con Decreto Legislativo 31 marzo 2023 n. 36 - si basa sulla riforma attuata dal Legislatore nel rispetto degli obiettivi fissati dal Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza. L’apporto della Commissione presieduta da Franco Frattini e composta da magistrati del Consiglio di Stato, dei T.A.R., della Cassazione, della Corte dei Conti, da Avvocati dello Stato, da professori, avvocati, economisti, ingegneri, informatici, linguisti ha permesso al Legislatore di approvare in tempi rapidi un testo normativo che si presenta nuovo non solo sul piano dei contenuti e della loro formulazione ma anche sul piano dell’impostazione. Molte soluzioni nel Codice perseguono esigenze di semplificazione, celerità e innovazione del funzionamento dei contratti pubblici, altre sono dirette al rafforzamento della trasparenza, della qualità, del monitoraggio e della rendicontazione. Il bilanciamento operato appare positivo, altrettanto positivo è lo slancio prospettico che ispira molte soluzioni soprattutto in tema di digitalizzazione del ciclo di vita dei contratti pubblici. Questa prima edizione del nuovo Codice vuole essere uno strumento a supporto di funzionari e operatori in un mercato di straordinaria rilevanza per lo sviluppo e la crescita del Paese. La lettura della normativa è facilitata dal formato testuale e dalla puntuale segnalazione - articolo per articolo - delle tempistiche di entrata in vigore e di efficacia delle nuove norme, elemento indispensabile per la conoscenza della disciplina applicabile. Il testo è integrato dalla pubblicazione integrale delle direttive dell’UE del 2014 in materia di appalti pubblici e concessioni, da un completo indice analitico-alfabetico e da tavole di corrispondenza con i riferimenti delle norme dell’Unione europea e del Codice previgente. Aggiornato e coordinato al D.L. 29 maggio 2023 n. 57 («Misure urgenti PNRR») corredato dalle disposizioni della Dir. 2014/23/UE concessioni della Dir. 2014/24/UE appalti pubblici della Dir. 2014/25/UE settori speciali annotato con i riferimenti di entrata in vigore ed efficacia delle norme integrato da tavole di corrispondenza completo di indice analitico-alfabetico

Book excerpt: Con il presente lavoro si intende fornire uno strumento operativo, utile agli Uffici Gare & Appalti degli Operatori Economici e delle Stazioni Appaltanti, con l’obiettivo di agevolare l’approfondimento e l’applicazione della nuova disciplina degli appalti pubblici introdotta con il D.

Ogni articolo del presente testo è stato annotato con una sintesi della RELAZIONE accompagnatoria, elaborata dalla Commissione speciale del Consiglio di Stato, tratta dal Dossier ufficiale del Centro Studi del Senato, che ha commentato il testo durante la fase di approvazione dello schema da parte delle Commissioni Parlamentari. Vicino alla rubrica di ogni articolo, abbiamo inoltre aggiunto: un QR CODE per collegarsi online alla versione aggiornata disponibile su www.CodiceAppalti.it; la DATA EFFICACIA di ogni articolo e le corrispondenti NORME PREVIGENTI sostituite dalle nuove disposizioni; l’elencazione delle altre NORME COLLEGATE e le DISPOSIZIONI TRANSITORIE. Abbiamo completato l’esame di molti articoli con una sintesi delle principali NOVITÀ e un focus contenente alcuni CONSIGLI UTILI, di carattere estremamente operativo, distinti per Operatori (OE) e per Stazioni Appaltanti (SA). Nelle ultime pagine abbiamo inserito una innovativa TABELLA DI CONFRONTO, sia in relazione alle norme “interne” al codice, indicando gli articoli applicabili ai Settori Speciali e alle Concessioni, sia rispetto a norme “esterne”, indicando i corrispondenti articoli del “vecchio” Codice (D. Lgs. 50/2016) e quelli destinati ad operare per gli appalti finanziati del PNRR e PNC, oltre alla data di efficacia di ogni articolo. Riepilogando, gli articoli sono stati quindi annotati con: RELAZIONE: sintesi della relazione illustrativa ufficiale EFFICACIA: data di efficacia e periodo transitorio NORME: distinte tra abrogate, collegate e attuative NOVITÀ: elenco principali novità rispetto al Codice previgente GIURISPRUDENZA: le prime pronunce sul nuovo Codice CONSIGLI UTILI: per Operatori (OE) e per Stazioni Appaltanti (SA) Alla fine del testo abbiamo inserito: TABELLA DI CONFRONTO: tra norme “interne” (Settori Speciali e Concessioni) e con norme “esterne” (Codice previgente e Appalti PNRR)
