Which is the best treatis on stratefy The two obvious candidates would be Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" and Clausewitz' "On War". However, this book makes a convincing case for naming a third candidate: Thucydides' "History of the Peloponnesian War". Thucydides has been acclaimed as a great historian from time immemorial, and he has also been recently acknowledged as the father of the discipline of International Relations. Nevertheless, his merit as a strategic analyst has been unduly neglected. Thucydides on Strategy brings to light a wealth of strategic concepts contained in...

"We were travelling amid the most bizarre shapes that the mind of man can conceive." With a poet's eye, George Seferis describes the haunting landscape and rock-hewn churches of Cappadocia as he rediscovers his ancestral land during a three-day excursion in 1950.

Seferis dedicated the text to the Creek ethnomusicologist Melpo Logotheti-Merlier, director of...

Thessaloniki has not yet received the historical study it merits, either from the point of view of quantity or from that of quality.

This is the gap this edition is designed to fill, uniting, within a single, collective work, short but complete reviews of every period and aspect in Thessaloniki's history and culture (history, archaeology, topography, architecture, urban planning, society, economy, education, philology, literature, visual...

Αν και ο Thelonius Monk πέρασε ένα διάστημα της καριέρας του χωρίς να καταφέρει να γίνει αποδεκτός από κοινό και κριτικούς, εξαιτίας τόσο της αντισυμβατικής του προοωπικότητας όσο και της ιδιαίτερης ερμηνείας του στο πιάνο, σύντομα έφτασε να δεσπόζει ανάμεσα στα σημαντικότερα ονόματα της Jazz. Μάλιστα, οι συνθέσεις του κατατάσσονται στη δεύτερη θέση στη λίστα των πιο ηχογραφημένων Jazz συνθέσεων ύστερα από εκείνες του Duke Ellington.

The Venetians will dominate the island for almost two and a half centuries, while their power over the indigenous popula...
