Koltanowski-Phoenix Attack (188871056X)

Gambar
In The Moment of Zuke: Critical Positions and Pivotal Decisions for Colle System Players, David Rudel wrote that the main line of the c3-Colle was looking quite grim for White. He proposed that Colle-Koltanowski players should adopt a new idea, meeting 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Nbd2 Bd6 7.O-O O-O with 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.b4!, a variation he dubbed the Koltanowski-Phoenix Attack. Rudel promised to write a treatise on this new idea, and-two years later-he has delivered. Koltanowski Phoenix Attack: The future of the c3-Colle is a 250+ page project giving extensive coverage of all critical defenses. Even though the book is long, it is organized in such a way that a player can begin playing the Koltanowski-Phoenix almost immediately. Rudel first gives a "Simple mini-Repertoire" that can be learned in hours, and then he provides more complicated, alternate lines that can be added as the player becomes more experienced with the opening. David Rudel is an authority on t...

Andalucía en el mundo atlántico moderno: Agentes y escenarios (9788477376583)

Gambar
El sistema atlántico constituyó uno de los principales ejes que articularon el mundo moderno. Andalucía ocupó dentro del mismo una situación medular como plataforma del descubrimiento de América, primero, y como centro de organización del tráfico colonial español, más tarde. Ello tuvo profundas consecuencias para Andalucía en todos los planos. Las transformaciones que trajo consigo su posición en el mundo atlántico han sido un objeto frecuente de estudio, pero siguen siendo innumerables las posibilidades que ofrece a la historiografía una temática prácticamente inagotable.

Don Vito and the Mafia : Living with My Father's Secrets (9780857382153)

Gambar
Vito Ciancimino - Don Vito da Corleone - spent forty years in the grip of death, mafia, politics, business deals and the secret service.

The key witness is Massimo, his son, who has given his personal testament for the first time in which he recounts some of the most important events of Italy's recent history. If Roberto Saviano's Gomorra revealed the workings of the mafia system from street level, Don Vito tells us about the people who held the reins of power.

Panzer Wedge : The German 3rd Panzer Division and the Summer of Victory in the East (9780811710824)

Gambar
By the end of 1941, having suffered significant setbacks in its offensive to take Moscow, the German Army and its armoured forces began to lose their aura of invincibility, both to the Allies and the German home front. This book, part of the Third Reich's attempt to bolster morale, showcases the actions of the 3rd Panzer Division. The division performed well in the early phases of Operation Barbarossa but experienced grave hardship in the drive on Moscow. Written by war correspondents who watched the battles unfold firsthand, Panzer Wedge has a unique"you-are-there" perspective that captures the heady spirit of the offensive's beginning as well as the dogged fighting that brought it to a halt. The book will appeal to anyone who enjoys accounts of World War II combat, especially tank warfare, and to historians researching how the war effort was reported on the German home front. It offers significant insight into the conflict that has so long captured the imagination ...

Republic: Volume I (9780674996502)

Plato of Athens, who laid the foundations of the Western philosophical tradition and in range and depth ranks among its greatest practitioners, was born to a prosperous and politically active family ca. 427 bce.

Republic, a masterpiece of philosophical and political thought, concerns righteousness both in individuals and in communities, and proposes an ideal state organized and governed on philosophical principles. This edition, which replaces the original Loeb edition by Paul Shorey, offers text, translation, and annotation that are fully current with modern scholarship.

Over the Wall (9781420826661)

Gambar
Churches all over the world are grappling with the subject of homosexuality. They want to "love the sinner but hate the sin." Unfortunately, "hating the sin" is the focus of most church-sanctioned discussions of the issue. The message: gays and lesbians are not welcome in mainstream churches unless they "straighten up." But an enlightened, open-minded study of the Bible does not support the conclusion that homosexuality is so terrible or that homosexuals should be excluded from the church. Over the Wall examines the Bible passages most often used to condemn gays and lesbians and dispells the condemnation myth. In simple, easy-to-understand language, this book encourages readers to reframe this issue as all Christian issues should be: on the individual's relationship with Jesus Christ.
