Hauser Emily For the Winner
Some three thousand years ago, in a time before history, the warriors of Greece journeyed to the ends of the earth in the greatest expedition the world had ever seen. One woman fought alongside them. Abandoned at birth on the slopes of Mount Pelion, Atalanta is determined to prove her worth to the father who cast her aside. Having taught herself to hunt and fight, and disguised as a man, she wins a place on the greatest voyage of that heroic age: with Jason and his band of Argonauts in search of the legendary Golden Fleece. And it is here, in the company of men who will go down in history as heroes, that Atalanta must battle against the odds – and the will of the gods – to take control of her destiny and change her life forever. With her unrivalled knowledge and captivating storytelling, Emily Hauser brings alive an ancient world where the gods can transform a mortal’s life on a whim, where warriors carve out names that will echo down the ages . . . and where one woman fights to determine her own fate.

Yang Guoqing, Hattstein Markus Ancient City Walls in China. A Heritage Rediscovered
About a Chinese legacy with a once tremendous importance City walls in the Middle Kingdom were constructed symbols of power and identity-creating monuments that today provide direct access to Chinese cultural history. In the course of the country's long history, several thousand walls were erected, greatly differing in terms of importance, appearance, construction method, and function. The constructs recorded today range from ruins, via 150 city enclosures measuring more than a kilometer, up to the world-famous Great Wall. Following many years of decay, neglect and destruction in the 20th century, they were rediscovered only a few decades ago as unique cultural monuments. Consequently, extensive protection, renovation and reconstruction measures were launched for this national legacy. This volume presents a selection of 135 important cultural history monuments from all parts of China based on current and historic photographs.
