The German rulers were forceful and powerful men, and, surrounded by potential enemies, circumstances dictated the necessity of rule by strength based on military capacity. In the later 15th century, three houses rose above the others; the families of Wittelsbach, Luxemburg and the powerful Austrian Hapsburgs. The struggles of these and other houses, and of the knights and towns, were to be a feature of German history throughout the Middle Ages. This title details the dress, weapons, heraldry and insignia of these prolific forces. Product details Format Paperback | 48 pages Dimensions ...

In the 1920's, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands were among the world's last wild places. Largely unmapped and inhabited by headhunters and cannibals, these jungle islands of the Coral Sea captured the popular imagination as examples of the unknown. Many adventurers went to these remote islands, the least likely of whom were two young American women, Caroline Mytinger and Margaret Warner who set out from San Francisco in 1926 armed with little more than art supplies and a ukelele, used by Margaret to entertain sitters while Caroline painted their portraits. Mytinger and Warner went chasing adventure in the name of science, something rarely done by women at the time, and they did it in the face of universal dissapproval and even terror on the part of their families, who didn't expect them to come back alive. Not only that, but they had virtually no money and no scientific support or backing. But live they did, and they brought back beautiful paintings and the fascin...

Seit dem Jahr 2002 wird Ingwer bei Pferden zur Behandlung der unterschiedlichsten Leiden eingesetzt, überwiegend bei verletzungs- oder altersbedingten Arthrosen und Entzündungen. Seit dem Jahr 2010 wurde seine Wirkung auch von offizieller Seite "anerkannt", und er wurde auf die Dopingliste gesetzt. Damit dürfte er wohl, als gesundes Gewürz, das einzige unschädliche Dopingmittel sein, das lebenslang eingesetzt werden kann! Die erfolgreiche Behandlung der berühmten Trakehner Dressurstute und ehemaligen großen Olympia-Hoffnung Renaissance Fleur im Jahr 2003 führte zu einer rasanten Ausbreitung der Ingwerfütterung unter den Pferdehaltern. ("Der größte Fortschritt in der Pferdefütterung seit der Einführung von Heu und Hafer!", Zitat eines Anwenders) Im Jahr 2004 ist zum entzündungshemmenden Ingwer noch der Meerrettich als breitbandig wirkendes Antibiotikum hinzugekommen. Im Jahr 2009 folgte die Anwendung von Süßholz gegen Headshaking. Das Buch gibt den derzeitigen Wissen...

The years covered by this volume saw events and developments of major significance in the Mediterranean world. The first section of the book examines the Persian empire, the regions it comprised and its expansion during the reigns of Cyrus, Darius and Xerxes. In Greece, Sparta was attending maturity as the leader of a military coalition and Athens passed through a period of enlightened tyranny to a moderate democracy of dynamic energy and clear-sighted intelligence. Given the contrast between Greek ideas and Persian absolutism a clash between Greece and Persia became inevitable, and important chapters deal with the revolt of the Ionian Greeks against the Persians, and the two Persian invasions of Greece including the epic battles of Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis. The third part of the volume turns to the Western Mediterranean. Italy now becomes a significant factor in the history of the area and this section covers the Italic peoples and their languages from the Bronze to the Iron ...
