Foreign Devils on the Silk Road - The Search for the Lost Treasures of Central Asia Hopkirk PeterPaperback

The Silk Road, which linked imperial Rome and distant China, was once the greatest thoroughfare on earth. Along it travelled precious cargoes of silk, gold and ivory, as well as revolutionary new ideas. Its oasis towns blossomed into thriving centres of Buddhist art and learning. In time it began to decline. The traffic slowed, the merchants left and finally its towns vanished beneath the desert sands to be forgotten for a thousand years. But legends grew up of lost cities filled with treasures and guarded by demons. In the early years of the last century foreign explorers began to investigate these legends, and very soon an international race began for the art treasures of the Silk Road. Huge wall paintings, sculptures and priceless manuscripts were carried away, literally by the ton, and are today scattered through the museums of a dozen countries. Peter Hopkirk tells the story of the intrepid men who, at great personal risk, led these long-range archaeological raids, incurring the undying wrath of the Chinese.

Líla Cesty k sebepoznání

Líla je psychologická hra, hra s náhodou, která navazuje na tradici starých deskových her. Má charakter jak individuální, tak společenské hry: může ji hrát člověk sám, nebo s větším počtem protihráčů. Vedle poznávání sebe sama i ostatních umožňuje nahlédnout zábavnou formou na lidské a morální hodnoty. Kdo chce, najde v ní mnohem více, než se na první pohled zdá. Její podstata, stejně jako mnohé další zkušenosti a principy vyplývající z indické a východní filozofie obecně, nalézají čím dál více paralel s mnohými poznatky současné psychologie a přírodních věd, obzvláště fyziky. Líla může navíc stejně jako jiné systematické mantické metody (i´ťing, tarot apod.) posloužit i k věštění. Stačí mít kostku, malý osobní předmět, nebo třeba kamínek a můžete začít hrát.oboustranný hrací plán rozměry: 31 x 31počet stran: oboustranný hrací plán a brožura 24 stran – karty A5 v pevné obálce

USAF and VNAF A-1 Skyraider Units of the Vietnam War

USAF Skyraider units were originally tasked to serve as quasi-training units for the fledgling VNAF. Equipped only with the two-seat models of the Skyraider, American pilots were required to have VNAF 'observers' in the aircraft for every mission. Eventually, this arrangement was changed as enough Vietnamese pilots were trained to man their own squadrons, while USAF squadrons were tasked with close support for US ground forces. Eventually, no fewer than four USAF and seven VNAF Skyraider units saw service in Vietnam. Additionally, one A-1 training squadron flew from Hurlburt Field, Florida, throughout the Vietnam War era. In the ten years that this squadron was active, nearly 1000 USAF and 300 VNAF pilots were trained in the Skyraider. While the core mission of all Skyraider squadrons was Close Air Support (CAS), other missions were accomplished at various times. Among these were Search and Rescue (SAR), night interdiction on the Ho Chi Minh trail, helicopter escort and special forces support to name but a few.Each of these missions took full advantage of the Skyraider's ability to deliver a variety of munitions in close proximity to friendly forces while inflicting heavy casualties on enemy forces.

Rome\'s Third Samnite War, 298-290 BC

This book is devoted to the Third Samnite War where, with the Samnites' own independence on the line, they mobilized a powerful coalition with Bruttians, Etruscans and the Senones Gauls to fight for their freedomThe Third Samnite War (298-290 BC) was a crucial episode in the early history of Rome. Upon its outcome rested mastery of central Italy, and the independent survival of both Rome and the Samnites. Determined to resist aggressive Roman expansion, the Samnites forged a powerful alliance with the Senones (a tribe of Italian Gauls), Etruscans and Umbrians. The result was eight years of hard campaigning, brutal sieges and bitter battles that stretched Rome to the limit. The desperate nature of the struggle is illustrated by the ritual self-sacrifice (devotio) by the Roman consul Publius Decimus Mus at the Battle of Sentinum (295 BC), which restored the resolve of

German MG 34 and MG 42 Machine Guns: In World War II

Considered the most advanced machine gun in the world at the time, its ease of mobility and high rate of fire--900 rounds per minute--made it ideal both for infantry and antiaircraft use. First entering service during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, it remained in Wehrmacht service through the end of WWII in 1945, along with its updated model, the MG 42. This illustrated book presents the design, manufacturing, and development both of the MG 34 and MG 42, from its acceptance by the German military through production and combat use from 1936 to 1945. Includes close-up views of markings and other details, as well as a breakdown of the weapon. Accessories such as ammunition and gun mounts are featured throughout
