A Brief History of Britain 1660 - 1851 - William Gibson - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

A Brief History of Britain 1660 - 1851 - William Gibson - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Praise for the author:''Gibson''s well written and well-documented account of James and the bishops will surely become the new standard authority on these "implausible revolutionaries" for many decades.'' Barbara Brandon Schnorrenberg, Anglican and Episcopal History In 1660, England emerged from the devastation of the Civil Wars and restored the king, Charles II, to the throne. Over the next 190 years Britain would establish itself as the leading nation in the world - the centre of a burgeoning empire, at the forefront of the Enlightenment and the driving force behind the Industrial Revolution.However, radical change also brought with it anxiety and violence. America was lost in the War of Independence and calls for revolution at home were never far from the surface of everyday life. In this vivid and convincing overview of the era in which Britain transformed the world and was itself remade, leading historian of the period William Gibson also looks at the impact of this revolutionary change on the ordinary citizens of Britain.This is the third book in this wonderfully concise four-volume Brief History of Britain which brings together leading historians to tell the story of Britain from the Norman Conquest of 1066 right up to the present day. Combining the latest research with accessible and entertaining story-telling, it is the ideal introduction to British history for students and general readers.

Falx provides practical advice on surviving all things travel: from pirates and shipwrecks to bedbugs and lousy food.

The Ancient World: Ideas in Profile - Jerry Toner - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Ancient World: Ideas in Profile - Jerry Toner - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ideas in Profile: Small Introductions to Big TopicsThis introduction to the ancient world, part of the Ideas in Profile series, covers all its different cultures, from the million people crammed into Rome to the Jews and Syrians who refused to be Romanised. Jerry Toner shows what can be learnt from new approaches to ancient history, from analysing the bones of the dead in Pompeii or assessing the impact of environmental change, and considers how we can discover what it was like to live back then. He looks at every period, not just classical Athens and Republican Rome, but the Hellenistic kingdoms that followed Alexander and the Christian-dominated later Roman Empire. Greece and Rome, he argues, must be fitted into the global history of their day: what did Persians think of Greeks and how does the Roman empire stack up to China''s? With vivid examples and animation from award-winning Cognitive at every stage, this is the ideal introduction to the ancient world for general readers and students.

The Pirate Ship 1660-1730 - Angus Konstam - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The deeds and personalities of famous pirates have received significant attention in recent years: however, no detailed depiction of their vessels has ever been produced. This title redresses the imbalance, conducting a detailed exploration of the wide variety of pirate vessels that sailed the high seas during the ''golden age'' of piracy (1690–1730), from gun-bristling warships to smaller craft such as sloops, brigantines and early schooners. It incorporates the latest archaeological evidence to produce a fascinating account of these vessels, detailing their origins, development and tactical engagement. Packed with contemporary illustrations and superbly detailed colour artwork, the ships of the ''golden age'' are brought vividly to life.

A Brief History of Britain 1485-1660 - Ronald Hutton - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Praise for the author:: ''For anyone researching the subject, this is the book you''ve been waiting for.'' Washington Post From the death of Richard III on Bosworth Field in 1485 to the execution of Charles I after the Civil Wars of 1642-48, England was transformed by two dynasties.First, the Tudors, who had won the crown on the battlefield, changed both the nature of kingship and the nation itself. England became Protestant and began to establish itself as a trading power; facing down seemingly impossible odds, it defeated its enemies on land and sea. But after a century, Elizabeth I died with no heir and the crown was passed to the Stuarts, who sought to remould the kingdom in their own image.Leading authority on the history of the British Isles in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Ronald Hutton brilliantly recreates the political landscape of this early modern period and shows how the modern nation was forged in these febrile, transformative years. Combining skilful pen portraits of the leading figures of the day with descriptions of its culture, economics and vivid accounts of everyday life, Hutton provides telling insights into this critical period on Britain''s national history.This the second book in the landmark four-volume Brief History of Britain which brings together leading historians to tell Britain''s story, from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the present day. Combining the latest research with accessible and entertaining story-telling, the series is the ideal introduction for students and general readers.

Tea and Tea Drinking - Claire Masset - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Tea and Tea Drinking - Claire Masset - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Tea drinking has changed dramatically since Samuel Pepys drank the first recorded cup of tea in 1660. Initially, tea was consumed by men in coffee houses and by women in the home following a strict code of conduct, and tea was so expensive that only the extremely wealthy could afford it. Today however, tea holds a unique position in British culture; it is hard to imagine the British without their afternoon cuppa. This lively and beautifully illustrated book tells the story of how tea has become Britain''s national drink.

Poesi og politik - Sebastian Olden Jørgensen - Bog - Museum Tusculanum - Plusbog.dk

Poesi og politik - Sebastian Olden Jørgensen - Bog - Museum Tusculanum - Plusbog.dk

Enevældens indførelse 1660 var en skelsættende politisk begivenhed i Danmarkshistorien, men også en litterær begivenhed, hvor lejlighedsdigtningen blev et medium for politiske signaler. Hele det litterære miljø reagerede. De skrev på latin, tysk og dansk, og selv i udlandet gav begivenheden genlyd med digte på tysk, engelsk fransk og nederlandsk.Den politisk uafklarede situation i forbindelse med enevældens indførelse giver en enestående lejlighed til at analysere samspillet mellem poesi og politik. Samtidig tegnes der et nuanceret social- og kulturhistorisk øjebliksbillede af barokkens litterære liv i den danske konges riger og lande.

New Model Army 1645–60 - Stuart Asquith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

New Model Army 1645–60 - Stuart Asquith - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Restoration of 1660 is often quoted as the birth date of our modern British Army. While this may be true as far as continuity of unit identity is concerned, the evidence of history shows that the creation of an efficient military machine, and its proving on the battlefield, predates the Restoration by 15 years. It was on the battlefields of the Civil War that the foundations of the British professional army were laid. Here, supported by a wide variety of photographs and eight full colour plates, Stuart Asquith details the history, organisation, weapons and equipment of the New Model Army.
