Download or read book Venetian Ships and Shipbuilders of the Renaissance written by Frederic Chapin Lane and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ORIGINALLY published in 1934, this major study by Frederic Lane tracks the rise and decline of the great shipbuilding industry of Renaissance Venice. Drawing on a wealth of archival sources, Lane presents detailed descriptions of the Venetian arsenal, including the great galleys that doubled as cargo ships and warships; the sixteenth-century round ships, which introduced dramatic innovations in rigging and were less vulnerable to attack than the galleys; and the majestic galleons, whose straight lines and greater speed made them ideal for merchantmen but whose narrowness made them liable to capsize if loaded with artillery. Lane also includes vivid accounts of the rivalries between the famous shipbuilders of the period. There was the impassioned competition between Leonardo Bressan and Marco Francesco Rosso to design the quickest, lightest galley—a contest that Bressan won when Rosso was crushed to death; the race between Vettor Fausto and Matteo Bressan to build the best galleon for use against pirates; and the rivalry between Bernardo di Bernardo and Nicolò Palopano to be the master builder of great merchant galleys. Additional chapters detail the actual process of ship construction, from the design stage, to framing and ribbing the hull, to building the rigging; the organization and activity of the shipbuilders craft guilds and the various private shipyards; and the development and management of the Arsenal. Tables and appendixes detail the types, measurements, number, and capacity of the ships, as well as the wages of the shipbuilders.

Download or read book Anti Theory in Ethics and Moral Conservatism written by Stanley G. Clarke and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1989-05-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume documents a movement from theory and rules in ethics to an account of morality based on local practice and perception of the particular case. The Introduction lays the foundation for this position, then the authors draw from the analytic tradition as they forcefully argue against theory derived from different philosophical ancestors. In the second half they examine moral conservatism, exhibiting how placing moral practice as primary does not restrict one to any form of political conservatism.

Download or read book Outside Ethics written by Raymond Geuss and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside Ethics brings together some of the most important and provocative works by one of the most creative philosophers writing today. Seeking to expand the scope of contemporary moral and political philosophy, Raymond Geuss here presents essays bound by a shared skepticism about a particular way of thinking about what is important in human life--a way of thinking that, in his view, is characteristic of contemporary Western societies and isolates three broad categories of things as important: subjective individual preferences, knowledge, and restrictions on actions that affect other people (restrictions often construed as ahistorical laws). He sets these categories in a wider context and explores various human phenomena--including poetry, art, religion, and certain kinds of history and social criticism--that do not fit easily into these categories. As its title suggests, this book seeks a place outside conventional ethics. Following a brief introduction, Geuss sets out his main concerns with a focus on ethics and politics. He then expands these themes by discussing freedom, virtue, the good life, and happiness. Next he examines Theodor Adorno's views on the relation between suffering and knowledge, the nature of religion, and the role of history in giving us critical distances from existing identities. From here he moves to aesthetic concerns. The volume closes by looking at what it is for a human life to have "gaps"--to be incomplete, radically unsatisfactory, or a failure.

Download or read book Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics written by Marco Pasi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) is one of the most famous and significant authors in the history of western esotericism. Crowley has been long ignored by scholars of religion whilst the stories of magical and sexual practice which circulate about him continue to attract popular interest. "Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics" looks at the man behind the myth - by setting him firmly within the politics of his time - and the development of his ideas through his extensive and extraordinarily varied writings. Crowley was a rationalist, sympathetic to the values of the Enlightenment, but also a romantic and a reactionary. His search for an alternative way to express his religious feelings led him to elaborate his own vision of social and political change. Crowley's complex politics led to his involvement with many key individuals, organisations and groups of his day - the secret service of various countries, the German Nazi party, Russian political activists, journalists and politicians of various persuasions, as well as other writers - both in Europe and America. "Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics" presents a life of ideas, an examination of a man shaped by and shaping the politics of his times.

Download or read book Heroes of History written by Will Durant and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of his own bestselling masterpieces The Story of Civilization and The Lessons of History, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Will Durant traces the lives and ideas of those who have helped to define civilization, from its dawn to the beginning of the modern world. Heroes of History is a book of life-enhancing wisdom and optimism, complete with Durant's wit, knowledge, and unique ability to explain events and ideas in simple, exciting terms. It is the lessons of our heritage passed on for the edification and benefit of future generations—a fitting legacy from America's most beloved historian and philosopher. Will Durant's popularity as America's favorite teacher of history and philosophy remains undiminished by time. His books are accessible to readers of every kind, and his unique ability to compress complicated ideas and events into a few pages without ever "talking down" to the reader, enhanced by his memorable wit and a razor-sharp judgment about men and their motives, made all of his books huge bestsellers. Heroes of History carries on this tradition of making scholarship and philosophy understandable to the general reader, and making them good reading, as well. At the dawn of a new millennium and the beginning of a new century, nothing could be more appropriate than this brilliant book that examines the meaning of human civilization and history and draws from the experience of the past the lessons we need to know to put the future into context and live in confidence, rather than fear and ignorance.

Download or read book La nuova contabilit delle amministrazioni pubbliche written by Anzalone Massimo and published by IPSOA. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume analizza il variegato sistema della contabilità pubblica italiana e traccia il perimetro oggettivo, delle fonti e dei soggetti coinvolti nel processo di armonizzazione contabile, attraverso la disamina delle modifiche apportate all’impianto costituzionale ed a quello legislativo ordinario e regolamentare. Al fine di agevolare la lettura dell’opera, viene fornito un innovativo quadro sinottico delle norme di attuazione del processo di armonizzazione, che rappresenta graficamente l’evoluzione dei due aspetti del sistema di contabilità pubblica che il legislatore ha inteso riformare: - l’insieme dei principi contabili generali e applicati; - il sistema di classificazione dei dati di bilancio. La trattazione analizza e approfondisce ognuno degli elementi peculiari della riforma avviata dalla legge n. 196/2009, che ha coinvolto, nel suo dispiegarsi, i sistemi contabili di Regioni e province autonome, enti locali, bilancio dello Stato, Università, enti del settore sanitario ed enti non territoriali. In particolare, sono esaminati gli strumenti e i principi volti a ovviare alle diversità caratterizzanti il sistema di contabilità pubblica italiana. L’opera affronta e spiega l’insieme delle regole contabili uniformi introdotte dal legislatore, i nuovi sistemi di classificazione (comune piano dei conti integrato; schemi di bilancio articolati in missioni e programmi, tassonomia per la riclassificazione dei dati contabili e di bilancio) e illustra le modalità di integrazione della contabilità economico-patrimoniale, estesa oggi a tutta la P.A. Il quadro sinottico agevola la lettura dell’opera, consentendo: - una visione verticale della riforma, mediante la quale il lettore può rinvenire, per ogni tipologia di amministrazione, l’evoluzione del processo di armonizzazione contabile, con particolare attenzione ai provvedimenti formalizzati, in via di perfezionamento o di predisposizione, alla data di pubblicazione dell’opera. - una visione orizzontale del processo di riforma, attraverso la disamina dello stato dell’arte dei pilastri dell’armonizzazione contabile considerando gli stessi trasversalmente tra le diverse norme di attuazione. Tale approccio è sviluppato nei capitoli relativi al piano dei conti, alla classificazione per missioni e programmi e agli schemi di bilancio e sfocia nella trattazione dei sistemi informativi della P.A. Entrambi gli approcci – orizzontale e verticale – sono contestualizzati rispetto al sistema contabile in uso, in fase di autorizzazione, dalle amministrazioni pubbliche oggetto di osservazione. Si distingueranno, pertanto, gli indirizzi di tipo normativo e tecnico sottostanti la disciplina di bilancio delle amministrazioni in contabilità finanziaria da quelli caratterizzanti le amministrazioni in contabilità civilistica. L’opera si perfeziona, infine, attraverso una diffusa trattazione dell’evoluzione del contesto internazionale. Si affronta il tema della rinnovata governance europea e, per la prima volta in un manuale di finanza pubblica, si rappresenta il tema del raccordo tra la contabilità pubblica e la contabilità nazionale, mostrandone differenze strutturali e concettuali, illustrando le modalità di elaborazione dei principali saldi di finanza pubblica nazionale, che guidano le scelte di politica economica a livello locale e nazionale.
