In this fully illustrated introduction, acclaimed historian Carl Benn examines the War of 1812 and its significance in US history. In this fully illustrated introduction, acclaimed historian Carl Benn examines the War of 1812 and its significance in US history. The war of 18121815 was a bloody confrontation that tore through the American frontier, the British colonies of Upper and Lower Canada, and parts of the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico. The conflict saw British, American, and First Nations forces clash, and in the process, shape the future of North American history. Carl Benn explains what led to America's decision to take up arms against Great Britain and assesses the three terrible years of fighting that followed on land and sea, where battles such as Lake Erie and Lake Champlain launched American naval traditions.This new edition has been updated throughout to draw on the research and advances in scholarship in the two decades since original publication in 2002. Benn examines how this has not only impacted basic assumptions of force size and battle dates in some cases, but has also drawn attention to subjects that had previously been overlooked. Fully illustrated in colour with specially commissioned maps and 50 new images, this book provides an accessible overview of the War of 1812.

January 31st, 2009 - The Vulcan Creedlers, a recently formed, middle-aged, rock-covers band, is backstage on the brink of its debut gig. How on earth had they got into this predicament? Why hadnt they made their midlife challenges more manageable? What follows is a faltering five-year rise through birthday parties, wedding-band slots, working mens clubs, with the occasional bonus of a corporate event. Whilst they were never able to utter the rocknroll dream welcome of Hello Wembley, The Creedlers did, somehow, manage to play at Londons Earls Court. There was even a European Tour, if one gig in Gdansk counts as a tour. As the band suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune, this engaging tale of life on stage and on the road rattles along to a beat more punk than Pavarotti. Playing to audiences of one to one thousand, centre stage is Mike Stand with his anxieties, paranoias, and unshakeable determination to finally conquer that crucial live performance of his late fathers favourite song. The Creedlers' story is a humorous, honest, touching and often surreal flirtation with mid-life crisis and how to survive it. Autorid: Mark Ravenscroft

Mit Edward W. Godwin (1833-1886) und Oscar Wild treffen Designer und Schriftsteller aufeinander. Der eine Möbeldesigner im Umfeld des englischen Ästhetizismus, der andere prägte als Schriftsteller und Lebemann das Lebensgefühl seiner Zeit. Sie waren Brüder im Geiste, deren künstlerisches Werk jeweils Ausdruck einer umfassenden Bildung und einer außerordentlichen Wissbegier war. Beide strebten nach einer ästhetischen Durchdringung des Alltags und seiner Verwandlung in Kunst. Als Universalgelehrte vereinten sie architekturtheoretisches Wissen mit tiefgreifender Kenntnis der Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte. Diese intellektuelle Breite durchzieht ihr gesamtes Schaffen und macht sie zu kongenialen Stilikonen, deren Ruhm weit über die Grenzen einzelner Disziplinen hinausreicht. Im Katalog treten sie in einen Dialog aus Gedanken und Entwürfen.
