 Beacon Press Coming Out as Dalit: A Memoir of Surviving India's Caste System, (Updated Edition) GTIN: 9780807016602 Raamatud For readers of Caste, the coming-of-age story of a Dalit individual that illuminates systemic injustice in India and its growing impact on US societyA moving personal story and a useful educational examination of persistent discriminationKirkus ReviewsWinner of the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puruskar, 2020Born into a formerly untouchable manual-scavenging family in small-town India, Yashica Dutt was taught from a young age to not appear Dalit looking. Although prejudice against Dalits, who compose 25% of the population, has been illegal since 1950, caste-ism in India is alive and well. Blending her personal history with extensive research and reporting, Dutt provides an incriminating analysis of castes influence in India over everything from entertainment to judicial systems and how this discrimination has carried over to US institutions.Dutt traces how colonial British forces exploited and perpetuated a centuries-old caste system, how Gandhi could have been more forceful in combatting prejudice, and the role played by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, whom Isabel Wilkerson called the MLK of Indias caste issues in her book Caste. Alongside her analysis, Dutt interweaves personal stories of learning to speak without a regional accent growing up and desperately using medicinal packs to try to lighten her skin.Published in India in 2019 to acclaim, this expanded edition includes 2 new chapters covering how the caste system traveled to the US, its history here, and the continuation of bias by South Asian communities in professional sectors. Amid growing conversations about caste discrimination prompting US institutions including Harvard University, Brandeis University, the University of California system, and the NAACP to add caste as a protected category to their policies, Dutts work sheds essential light on the significant influence caste-ism has across many aspects of US society.Raw and affecting, Coming Out as Dalit brings a new audience of readers into a crucial conversation about embracing Dalit identity, offering a way to change the way people think about caste in their own communities and beyond.

 Birlinn General Dublin: Mapping the City GTIN: 9781780277516 Raamatud Maps are essential tools in finding our way around, but they also tell stories and are great depositories of information. Until the twentieth century and the arrival of aerial images, a map was the best way of getting a sense of what a city looked like on the ground.Through a carefully chosen selection of maps, the book traces the growth and development of Dublin from the early seventeenth century to the present day, offering a fascinating snap-shot of how the city has changed over time.Whilst the maps recount the big stories the impact of major forces such as the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 or the effects of the Easter Rising in 1916 and the Civil War in 1922 they also tell the smaller tales such as the creation of a colony of Irish speakers in the late 1920s and the arrival of parking meters and how they changed how people could use the city centre. Together with maps that reveal much about the famous buildings, transport, health, trade, life and work of the city, this book is a fascinating portrait of Dublin through the ages which offers many new perspectives on one of Europes great cities. Maps are essential tools in finding our way around, but they also tell stories and are great depositories of information.

 Grub Street Publishing Sweets and Desserts from the Middle East GTIN: 9781909166073 Raamatud All Arto der Haroutunians twelve cookbooks written in the 1980s became classics; it was his belief that the rich culinary tradition of the Middle East is the main source of many of our Western cuisines and his books were intended as an introduction to that tradition. His Sweets & Desserts of the Middle East is regarded as the seminal work on the subject but it had been out of print for almost thirty years. At last here in a new edition is the Middle Eastern cookbook that everyone wants. In this book he takes us on a sumptuous and erudite tour of one of the delights of Middle Eastern cuisine. Sweets and desserts occupy a special place in those lands where natutal food resources can sometimes be limited. The people have made supreme the art of creating delights from very little and in doing do have enriched their world with wafer-thin pastries, luscious halvas, crunchy biscuits, exotic fruits and cool refreshing sorbets. Many Middle Eastern desserts are very sweet (literally soaked in honey or syrup) and yet their variety is infinite. It reflects the multifarious origins and races of the people of the region and combines ancient traditions and modern influences. One basic sweet may have been adapted in a dozen different ways. Tantalisingly fragrant, sweet and succulent or dry and spiced with the aroma of the East they transport us as if by magic carpet to the exotic lands of the orient. There are recipes for sesame and date baklavas, almond and pistachio coated biscuits, tempting stuffed fruits, rich mousses, delicate sorbets and syrups, jams and preserves, all of which may tempt you to conjure up these Middle Eastern delicacies in your own home.

 Grub Street Publishing Fish Store GTIN: 9781909166080 Raamatud When her sons inherited their father's childhood home in a Cornish fishing village, once a commercial building for storing and packing pilchards, Lindsey Bareham thought it would be a nice idea to record some of the recipes and memories of this extraordinary place. It started as a notebook for her sons' eyes only, with lists of favourite ways of cooking mackerel, monkfish and sole and how to make mayonnaise to go with the gift of a handsome crab or crayfish, but then it took on its own momentum and became this very special book, full of recollections and anecdotes and fabulous holiday food. Although the setting is of course English, Bareham's recipes take in influences from all over the world, including Portugal (Portuguese Cabbage Soup with Rosemary Bruschetta), Italy (Red Mullet Wrapped in Parma Ham with Garlic and Rosemary) and Turkey (Spiced Aubergine Salad with Cumin). Nor, despite the location, are her recipes completely devoted to matters piscine. Chapters on eggs, chicken, lamb, vegetables and, of course, puddings, sit alongside a wonderful collection of recipes for fish of all kinds. Autorid: Lindsey Bareham | 1 | 23,24 € | Vaata | ||
 Postimees kirjastus Novatseen: Saabuv üliintellekti ajastu GTIN: 9789916603451 Raamatud Viimast 300 aastat nimetatakse kokkuvõtvalt antropotseeniks, mil inimtegevusest on saanud Maad kõigiti muutev jõud. Ent nüüd on elu pööranud ette uue lehekülje: alanud on novatseen, ütleb James Lovelock. Uuel ajastul sünnib tehisintellektist tehislik eluvorm küborgid. Mis neile korda läheb? Mis saab nende arengu käigus inimkonnast ja emakesest Maast? James Lovelock on maailmakuulus inglise atmosfäärikeemik, mitmekülgne teadlane ja leiutaja. Oma paljudes keskkonnaalastes aimeraamatutes on ta tutvustanud ja selgitanud nn Gaia hüpoteesi: elu ja Maa on vastastiktoimes tervik ning planeeti võib vaadelda üheainsa organismina. Novatseeni kaasautor on Bryan Appleyard, kes aitas eestikeelse tõlke ilmumisajaks juba 101aastasel autoril raamatut lõpetada. Oma eessõnas rõhutab ta, kuidas James Lovelock on alatiseks muutnud inimkonna arusaama elust ja meie planeedist ning tema uus radikaalne idee novatseenist, mil inimesest ülemad masinad maailma vallutavad, on enam kui tõenäoline. James Lovelocki väitel ei ole olukord inimkonna jaoks siiski lootusetu. Pigem tekib inimeste ja masinate liit, sest nad mõlemad on vajalikud Gaia, elava planeedi Maa alalhoidmiseks. Bioloog ja semiootik Kalevi Kull ütleb kokkuvõttes raamatu tagakaanel: Vana Lovelock annab viimase hoiatuse. Ta on juba öelnud, et me ei torgiks Maa atmosfääri, sest Gaia on isereguleeruv süsteem küll väga võimas, kuid samas tundlik ja habras. Nüüd aga hoiatab ta meid intelligentse tehnoloogia, tundevaeste küborgide eest. Pole kindel, et need, me järglased, hoolivad meist rohkem kui meie ise oma evolutsioonilistest eellastest. Tuleb leppida, et küborgid on peagi meist üle. Hoidkem siis rohelist elu, kuni seda on. Autorid: James Lovelock | 1 | 23,54 € | Vaata | ||
 Postimees kirjastus Astronoomialoengud GTIN: 9789916603567 Raamatud Vaba Akadeemia raamatusarja esimese raamatu aluseks on Vabas Akadeemias peetud astronoomialoengud. Tänapäeval ei piisa taevakehade kirjeldamiseks enam sellest, kui astronoom istub teleskoobi kõrval, vaatab palja silmaga okulaari ja kirjutab või joonistab üles, mida ta teleskoobis näeb. Taevakehade vaatlemiseks tuleb kasutusele võtta väga keeruline tehnika, kuid ka sellest jääb väheks, sest vaatlusest saame vaid arvude rea. Selleks et aru saada, mida need arvud tähendavad, tuleb sageli appi võtta teoreetiline füüsika. Ja kui tahame teada saada taevakehade või isegi kogu Universumi minevikku või tulevikku, tuleb meil tegelda uuritavate objektide matemaatilise ja füüsikalise modelleerimisega, sest inimese eluiga on kaugelt liiga lühike, et näiteks tähtede evolutsiooni vaatlustega kindlaks teha. Samas võib evolutsioon teinekord liigagi tormiline olla, näiteks supernoovades. Kõik see teeb mitteastronoomile tänapäeva astronoomiast arusaamise keeruliseks. Raamat ongi kirjutatud eesmärgiga, et taevastest protsessidest oleks lihtsam aru saada. Tõnu Viik Autorid: Tõnu Viik | 1 | 25,50 € | Vaata | ||

 Postimees kirjastus Jumalakogemus: Olemine, teadvus, õndsus GTIN: 9789916603673 Raamatud David Bentley Hart (s 1965) on hinnatud USA filosoof ja idakiriku teoloog, kes on avaldanud mitmeid teoloogilisi küsimusi käsitlevaid raamatuid. 2017. aastal ilmus tema tõlgitud Uus Testament. Hart on pälvinud tunnustust põhjalike teadmiste, läbinägeliku analüüsioskuse ja täpse keelekasutuse eest. Usuteema on tekitanud avalikkuses tuliseid vaidlusi, ent sageli jäetakse neis kesksel kohal olev mõiste Jumal määratlemata. Kas vaidlejad räägivad üldse ühest ja samast asjast? Raamatus Jumalakogemus asetab autor selle mõistega seotud segaduse laiemasse konteksti ning selgitab, mis tähendusi kannab sõna Jumal suurtes teistlikes religioonides nagu judaism, kristlus, islam, vedanta ja bhakti (hinduismis), sikhism ja budism. Hart ehitab oma arutluskäigu kolme peamise mõiste ümber olemine, teadvus ja õndsus ning näitab, et meie kõige fundamentaalsem reaalsusekogemus on ühtlasi olemuslikult seotud ülima reaalsusega, millele too kogemus paratamatult osutab. Hart pakub tänuväärset vastukaalu plakatlikele lihtsustustele. Ta uurib, kuidas sügavad inimkogemused annavad tunnistust Jumala tegelikkusest ja toob esile traditsiooniliste Jumalast mõtlemise viiside ilu ja poeesia.

 Postimees kirjastus Mida see kõik tähendab?: Väga lühike sissejuhatus filosoofiasse GTIN: 9789916603765 Raamatud Mida see kõik tähendab? pakub põgusa sissejuhatuse filosoofiasse neile, kel ei ole selle teadusega varem kokkupuuteid olnud. Filosoofia tuum peitub küsimustes, märgib raamatu autor, USA filosoof Thomas Nagel (s 1937): küsimuste esitamises, argumenteerimises, ideede järeleproovimises. Kui ajaloolast huvitab, mis juhtus minevikus, siis filosoof küsib, mis on aeg. Kui füüsik mõtestab gravitatsiooni, siis filosoof uurib, kuidas me teame, et väljaspool meie teadvust üldse miski eksisteerib. Nagel võtab ette üheksa klassikalist filosoofilist probleemi nagu küsimuse elu mõttest, surma olemusest, vabast tahtest ja nende üle arutledes näitab, kuidas filosoofia toimib. Seejuures ei anna autor selgeid vastuseid, vaid ärgitab lugejat teemade üle sügavuti juurdlema. Autorid: Thomas Nagel | 1 | 18,90 € | Vaata | ||
 Postimees kirjastus Kutsu mind oma nimega GTIN: 9789916603826 Raamatud Itaalia Rivieras on alanud 1987. aasta kuum suvi. Elio Perlman on 17-aastane introvert. Tema vanemate villas on kuueks nädalaks külas 24-aastane ameeriklasest haritlane Oliver muretu ellusuhtumisega ning justkui kõigest ja kõigist eraldi seisev olend. Ootamatul kombel tekitab ta Elios samasugust ahvatlust, nagu on seni esile kutsunud vaid ilusad tüdrukud. Romaani minategelane Elio kirjeldab tärkavat külgetõmmet ja üha jõulisemat iha. Alanud romanss muudab noormehed ettevaatamatuks ning mõlemad liiguvad üha lähemale täielikule intiimsusele tundele, mida kumbki tõenäoliselt enam iial ei koge.

 Postimees kirjastus Ristiusu salajane ajalugu: Jeesus, viimane inkling ja teadvuse evolutsioon GTIN: 9789916603963 Raamatud Kristlus on kriisis, märgib kirjanik ja psühhoterapeut Mark Vernon (snd 1966). Õpetused, mis aastasadu inimesi vaimselt toitsid, ei ole juba ammu suutnud seda teha nii nagu varasematel aegadel. Otsides vastust küsimusele, miks see nii on, toetub Vernon C. S. Lewise ja J. R. R. Tolkieni lähedase mõttekaaslase, briti filosoofi Owen Barfieldi (18981997) läbinägelikele arutlustele. Barfield jõudis kultuure analüüsides järeldusele, et aja jooksul inimeste elukogemus ja teadlikkus maailmast muutuvad, ühes sellega ka taju loodusest, kosmosest ja jumalikust. Raamatu autor kaevub 3000 aasta tagusesse aega, perioodi, kust on pärit Vana Testamendi vanimad osad, ja liigub järk-järgult tänapäeva, andes ülevaate, kuidas on selle aja jooksul muutunud inimese suhe jumalikuga. Kirjandusklassikute, kunstnike, müstikute, teadlaste jt abil arutleb Vernon, kuidas suudaks kristlus abstraktsete doktriinide asemel anda võimaluse vahetuks individuaalseks kogemuseks, mis avaks ennast igas südames, mõistuses ja hinges.

 Interlink Publishing Group, Inc Umm Kulthum: The Star of the East GTIN: 9781623716608 Raamatud A picture book about the life and career of an unforgettable Arab icon, Umm Kulthum, the most powerful voice in the Arab world.Umm Kulthum was an Arab icon, whose powerful voice defined an entire region for more than five decades. The famous Soprano Maria Callas praised her voice as incomparable. Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and Bono are said to be among her many fans. The daughter of a poor Egyptian village sheikh, Umm Kulthum rose to fame at a time when young girls didnt go to school and when respectable girls did not perform on stages. But Umm Kulthum was no ordinary girl. As a little girl, she convinced her parents to send her to school so that she could learn to read and recite the Quran. When her father discovered her powerful voice, he dressed her as a boy and toured the Egyptian countryside, performing at religious ceremonies to make extra money for the family. When she could no longer hide the fact that she was a girl, Umm Kulthum shed her costume and became known throughout the Nile Delta as the little girl with the powerful voice. As she grew older, Umm Kulthum knew her future awaited her in Cairo. But her father still worried about her reputation. City theaters were definitely no place for a sheikhs daughter. Stubborn and persistent, Umm Kulthum convinced her father to move Cairo. But life in the big city wasnt easy. The city elite mocked the village girl and her religious folk songs. Umm Kulthum, nonetheless, persisted and worked harder than she had ever worked before. With help from famous singers, she learned to control her powerful voice and taught herself how to play musical instruments. The most important poets and musicians in Egypt and the Arab world wrote lyrics and composed music for her. Soon, record companies competed for her contracts. She held sold-out concerts that ran late into the night, and she sang songs that often lasted more than an hour. Umm Kulthum was more than a singer. She helped reclaim the story and voice of an entire region. People took pride in her perfect pronunciation of the Arabic language, which they attributed to her knowledge of the Quran. More than a century after her birth, Umm Kulthums music can still be heard in taxis, cafes, and homes from Rabat to Baghdad and Damascus to Sanaa, giving her the nicknames The Lady (Al-Sit), Egypts Fourth Pyramid (Al Haram al-Rabe), the Mother of the Arabs (Umm al-Arab)and, unequivocally, The Star of the East (Kawkab al Sharq). With stunning illustrations by renowned Egyptian artist Ahmed Abdelmohsen, Umm Kulthum is brought to life with each spread that sings in honor of the voice of this unforgettable icon.

 University of Pennsylvania Press No Wood, No Kingdom: Political Ecology in the English Atlantic GTIN: 9780812253078 Raamatud "Attempts to define, measure, and manage woods in England and in potential colonies took place within the context of deep uncertainties and limited access to information that in practice might mean older initial impressions defined thinking in one place even as newer understandings, grounded in different experiences, shaped distinctive political ecologies in another location. Contemporaries often acted as though their actions occurred in isolation while nonetheless seeking commercial and material connections around the Atlantic basin. No Wood, No Kingdom is thus organized to reflect these chronologically overlapping and geographically and conceptually diverse characteristics. Pluymers begins in England with sixteenth-century anxieties about wood scarcityand efforts to reform and manage domestic wood supplies before turning to late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century promotional plans for Ireland and Virginia. England, Ireland, and Virginia operate as a triptych, illustrating the efforts to solve domestic scarcity in this early period. These places were connected in some contemporary political ecologies but have distinct histories, occupying at times overlapping chronologies. Each tells its own story, but, taken together, they reveal the multiple perspectives that shaped and frustrated efforts to forge a coherent imperial political ecology that might link them together. From there, he turns to seventeenth-century Bermuda and Barbados, places that developed important transatlantic connections based on trees but for different uses: as drugs, dyes, or materials for luxury goods. Even if they were never imagined as solutions to English scarcity, these islands nonetheless reflected, if only partially and incompletely, contemporary English political ecologies and wood-management techniques. Again, in Bermuda and Barbados, early modern English political ecologies were refracted through local experience and environment. Concerns about wood scarcity and efforts at preservation in Bermuda and Barbados demonstrate that many of the same issues that obsessed Arthur Standish quickly reemerged across the Atlantic. He concludes with an examination of the political ecology of wood in England and its colonies in the 1660s to show how early modern English ideas about scarcity and natural resource preservation had changed and had remained constant over the past century in the light of experiences both domestic and abroad"-- In early modern England, wood scarcity was a widespread concern. Royal officials, artisans, and common people expressed their fears in laws, petitions, and pamphlets, in which they debated the severity of the problem, speculated on its origins, and proposed solutions to it. No Wood, No Kingdom explores these conflicting attempts to understand the problem of scarcity and demonstrates how these ideas shaped land use, forestry, and the economic vision of England's earliest colonies.Popular accounts have often suggested that deforestation served as a "push" for English colonial expansion. Keith Pluymers shows that wood scarcity in England, rather than a problem of absolute supply and demand, resulted from social conflict over the right to define and regulate resources, difficulties obtaining accurate information, and competing visions for trade, forestry, and the English landscape. Domestic scarcity claims did encourage schemes to develop wood-dependent enterprises in the colonies, but in practice colonies competed with domestic enterprises rather than supplanting them. Moreover, close studies of colonial governments and the actions of individual landholders in Ireland, Virginia, Bermuda, and Barbados demonstrate that colonists experimented with different, often competing approaches to colonial woods and trees, including efforts to manage them as long-term resources, albeit ones that nonetheless brought significant transformations to the land.No Wood, No Kingdom explores the efforts to knot together woods around the Atlantic basin as resources for an English empire and the deep underlying conflicts and confusion that largely frustrated those plans. It speaks to historians of early modern Europe, early America, and the Atlantic World but also offers key insights on early modern resource politics, forest management, and political ecology of interest to readers in the environmental humanities and social sciences as well as those interested in colonialism or economic history.

 Aurora Metro Publications 50 Women in Theatre GTIN: 9781913641054 Raamatud Since 1660 when actresses first began performing on the English stage, women have forged bright careers in theatre, while men called the shots. Four hundred years of women playwrights, from Aphra Behn to Caryl Churchill, yet plays by women make up less than a quarter of staged productions in the UK, leading to a scarcity of roles for women. With women buying most of the tickets, theatre productions risk losing their relevance to modern culture if they fail to represent the many and varied lives of women.With an overview of post-war theatre and 25 exclusive interviews with leading women theatre-makers, this book inspires us to create a truly equal and inclusive theatre today. Including interviews with: Nina Lee Aquino ? Sudha Buchar ? Moira Buffini ? Paule Constable ? Denise Gough ? Jill Greenhalgh ? Vicky Ireland ? Jude Kelly ? Bryony Lavery ? Rachel Maza ?

 Trustees of the Royal Armouries Torture and Punishment at the Tower of London GTIN: 9780948092978 Raamatud The Royal Armouries is Britain&;s oldest museum, still partly housed in its original buildings in the Tower of London. The core of the collection is the medieval arsenal that was restocked by Henry VIII and on show to privileged visitors as early as the reign of Elizabeth I. After 1660, the general public was admitted and a series of spectacular exhibits was set up, one of which included instruments of torture and punishment. Since that time, they have been one of the Tower&;s prime attractions, enhanced by the macabre stories that surround them. This fascinating book sets these instruments of torture and punishment in their proper context and explores whether the Tower deserves its grim reputation.

 Carnegie Publishing Ltd A General Plague of Madness: The Civil Wars in Lancashire, 1640-1660 GTIN: 9781859361917 Raamatud Lord Derby, Lancashire's highest-ranked nobleman and its principal royalist, once offered the opinion that the English civil wars had been a 'general plague of madness'. Complex and bedevilling, the earl defied anyone to tell the complete story of 'so foolish, so wicked, so lasting a war'. Yet attempting to chronicle and to explain the events is both fascinating and hugely important. Nationally and at the county level the impact and significance of the wars can hardly be over-stated: the conflict involved our ancestors fighting one another, on and off, for a period of nine years; almost every part of Lancashire witnessed warfare of some kind at one time or another, and several towns in particular saw bloody sieges and at least one episode characterised as a massacre.Nationally the wars resulted in the execution of the king; in 1651 the Earl of Derby himself was executed in Bolton in large measure because he had taken a leading part in the so-called massacre in that town in 1644. In the early months of the civil wars many could barely distinguish what it was that divided people in 'this war without an enemy', as the royalist William Waller famously wrote; yet by the end of it parliament had abolished monarchy itself and created the only republic in over a millennium of England's history. Over the ensuing centuries this period has been described variously as a rebellion, as a series of civil wars, even as a revolution.Lancashire's role in these momentous events was quite distinctive, and relative to the size of its population particularly important. Lancashire lay right at the centre of the wars, for the conflict did not just encompass England but Ireland and Scotland too, and Lancashire's position on the coast facing Catholic, Royalist Ireland was seen as critical from the very first months. And being on the main route south from Scotland meant that the county witnessed a good deal of marching and marauding armies from the north. In this, the first full history of the Lancashire civil wars for almost a century, Stephen Bull makes extensive use of new discoveries to narrate and explain the exciting, terrible events which our ancestors witnessed in the cause either of king or parliament. From Furness to Liverpool, and from the Wyre estuary to Manchester and Warrington...civil war actions, battles, sieges and skirmishes took place in virtually every corner of Lancashire.

 Reaktion Books Eating the Empire: Food and Society in Eighteenth-Century Britain GTIN: 9781789142075 Raamatud When students gathered in a London coffeehouse and smoked tobacco, Yorkshire women sipped sugar-infused tea or a Glasgow family ate a bowl of Indian curry, were they aware of the mechanisms of imperial rule and trade that made such goods readily available? In Eating the Empire, Troy Bickham unfolds the extraordinary role that food played in shaping Britain during the long eighteenth century (c. 16601837), when recipes from around the world peppered a new generation of popular cookery books, and coffee, tea and sugar went from rare luxuries to some of the most ubiquitous commodities in Britain, reaching even the poorest and remotest of households. The trade in the empires edibles underpinned the emerging consumer economy, fomenting the rise of modern retailing, visual advertising and consumer credit, and, via taxes, financed the military and civil bureaucracy that secured, governed and spread the empire.

 Uitgeverij de Kunst Jan Davidsz. de Heem GTIN: 9789462625563 Raamatud Jan Davidsz. de Heem (1606-1684) was one of the best still-life painters of the 17th century. His work, which is enchanting to the eye, has always enjoyed international fame. Throughout his painting career of nearly 60 years, de Heem continued to search for new and better ways to depict his subjects. He trained several pupils and had countless followers and imitators, in the Netherlands as well as abroad, and throughout the centuries. The fact that he was active in both the Northern and Southern Netherlands enhanced his success and fame. He worked successively in Leiden, (presumably) in Amsterdam, in Antwerp, in Utrecht and again in Antwerp. De Heem is perhaps best known for his exuberant floral still lifes, which, however, were mainly created after 1660. By then, already for decades, he had painted still lifes of many themes and motifs, and in a variety of sizes, modest as well as luxurious. In Antwerp he had developed the large, rich still lifes which earned him part of his renown. This comprehensive monograph written by Fred G. Meijer, contains the complete catalogue of de Heem's oeuvre. Volume 1 includes an introduction, a biography and description of the development of his work. Volume 2 contains the catalogue raisonné of all paintings now known by de Heem, as well as several appendices. Autorid: Fred G. Meijer | 1 | 252,75 € | Vaata | ||

France and the United Provinces represented opposite models of state government during the 17th century.

The book is lavishly illustrated and contains 8 specially commissioned colour plates that depicts the Army of United Provinces during the nations Golden Age.

In August 1914, the German Empire invaded neutral Belgium in order to outflank the defenses of the French army. Unexpectedly, the Belgian army resisted and fought on, holding a small part of unoccupied Belgian territory north of Ypres, alongside the British and French armies, until the Armistice of 1918. Because of their heroic defense, Belgium and its King, Albert I enjoyed enormous international prestige after the war. Its colonial army conquered part of German East Africa out of the Congo.Occupied Belgium suffered executions of civilians, severe destruction and was widely stripped of its industrial infrastructure, which was one of the most developed in the world. It was saved from starvation by food shipments from the United States which came in via neutral Holland.Belgium emerged from four and a half years of complete turmoil a different country and the experiences would have a lasting impact of its politics. Universal suffrage was introduced and the Flemish question was exacerbated. The war resulted in the abandonment of the countrys neutrality policy and her claims for reparation and territory, only very partially met, were to have serious foreign policy implications.

 Helion & Company The Battle of Killiecrankie: The First Jacobite Campaign, 1689-1691 GTIN: 9781912390984 Raamatud There has not been an account of the first attempt made in Scotland to restore the exiled Stuarts at the end of the seventeenth century for three decades; most accounts stop with the death of the movements first leader, Bonnie Dundee. This book is the first full length account of the military struggle between forces loyal to the newly established Scottish government and the Jacobite cause. It does this by first considering the political and religious situation in Scotland, and to a lesser extent its southern neighbor, from the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 to the revolution of 1688-1689, which was far more radical in Scotland than it was in England, and which produced a constituency with a grievance which a new restoration might solve.The book then turns to the initial campaigning by both armies, led by Dundee and for the government, General Hugh Mackay, a fellow Scot. With marches and counter marches being inconclusive, the possession of Blair Castle focussed attentions and led to confrontation. But before examining the ensuing battle, the book turns to the officers and men of each army, exploring who they were, their tactics, arms, equipment and organization.The most substantial chapter is a blow by blow account of the battle of Killiecrankie, beginning with the march to conflict on the day itself, discussions over whether to fight, deployment and initial exchanges of fire. Then the crux of the battle is described, the rush of the Highlanders, the musketry of their opponents, melee and the flight and pursuit. Some of Mackays army stood and repelled their enemy, but by the days end were obliged to retreat. There is an examination of the numbers of men who fought and the casualties and other losses taken by both sides; including that of the Jacobite commander. A discussion of the battles aftermath and its importance then occurs.The conflict was far from over, for the Jacobite army reached its numerical high point after Dundees death. There was another battle to be fought that season, at Dunkeld, which was unusual for it was fought in a town. As with the previous battle, this chapter looks at the combatants involved as well as the fighting and its aftermath. The chapter also reviews the campaigning before and after the battle to take the reader until the end of the year.The penultimate chapter covers the final major military engagement of the conflict, at Cromdale, as well as numerous other lesser encounters, skirmishes and sieges, and other developments in the governments strategy to bring peace to the Highlands. Finally, there is a chapter covering the campaigns end; which ended with a peace treaty and then the tragedy of Glencoe, and a commentary about the ending of hostilities and the careers of a number of prominent men who fought in the campaign.The book is largely based on primary sources, both published and manuscript from record offices and libraries in London and Edinburgh. These include letters, memoirs, poems, army listings and contemporary newspapers. Recourse has also been made to studies of the battlefield archaeology and the author having walked the battlefields, one with a local expert. There is also a brief description of the battlefields as they are today. Autorid: Jonathan D. Oates | 1 | 36,75 € | Vaata | ||
