Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor

Anthony Everitt


Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor Anthony Everitt Random House. He found Rome made of clay and left it made of marble. As Rome’s first emperor, Augustus transformed the unruly Republic into the greatest empire the world had ever seen. His consolidation and expansion of Roman power two thousand years ago laid the foundtions, for all of Western history to follow. Yet, despite Augustus’s accomplishments, very few biographers have concentrated on the man himself, instead choosing to chronicle the age in which he lived. Here, Anthony Everitt, the bestselling author of Ciceo, gives a spellbinding and intimate account of his illustrious subject. Augustus began his career as an inexperienced teenager plucked from his studies to take center stage in the drama of Roman politics, assisted by two school friends, Agripa and Maecenas. Augustus’s rise to power began with the assassination of his great-uncle and adoptive father, Julius Caesar, and culminated in the titanic duel with Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

New Architecture in Britain

Kenneth Powell


New Architecture in Britain Kenneth Powell Merrell. Architects increasingly operate on a global scene, and just as numerous British architects have proved highly successful at winning projects abroad, so architects from Europe, the United States and the Far East are making their mark in Britain. One thinks, for example, of Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North and Tadao Ando's new square and pavilion project, both in Manchester, or of Frank Gehry's Cancer Care Centre in Dundee. Well-known British practices such as Future Systems, Alsop Architects and Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners also inevitably feature prominently in the exciting international story of Britain's recent architectural renaissance, but so too do newer, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital, for example Ian Simpson Architects in Manchester, Glenn Howells Architects in Birmingham or Bauman Lyons Architects in Leeds. This book engagingly describes and illustrates over 100 outstanding projects, both large and small, from around Britain - none... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Merrell.
