The Civil War - Jeremy Black
The American Civil War may have been more consequential to American history (and its global supremacy) than its Revolutionary War and participation in all other world wars. The influence of this war is not just reduced to the victory of the north and its economic infrastructure, but the fact of Union success ushered in the notion of what it means to be American that even the revolution could not instill. European military historian Jeremy Black reorients readers to see what was extraordinary in the civil war of the American colonies and why this was warfare unlike anything that could be properly understood on the world stage at that time. He also examines with expertise the role of foreign powers (or lack thereof). Black s treatment might be the doom of civil war counterfactuals. Was the south destined to fail? Was it weaker motive, faulty strategy, or lack of European support? Was the north just lucky, or possessed of foresight and providential endowment? Black dispels romanticism and sentimentalist hindsightâ “â “the American Civil War is unparalleled in many respects, but it is not without clear lessons in warcraft, diplomacy, and culturalâ “economic impasse. Furthermore, Black s Civil War is a new resource that teaches, reaffirms, and reminds readers of the intensity of the American pastâ “â “in both error and idealistic impulseâ “â “that might continue to guide us to the best future and avoid the lose-lose circumstances of a civil war. Black s acumen for historical review in this case renders a kind of warning: May the leaders of men in the future come to a better way of self-realization than give way to the internal conflict that pits father against son, and sister against brother. But if he must engage, at least understand the distinction between war and politics. Black s objective and concise account is a treasure for students and experts alike who need clarity and insight without too much of an investment. The take-away is an appreciation for the American spirit that civil strife petrified and an understanding of the tactical progression of this conflict and the context of combat of that era.Â

Wayward - Vashti Bunyan
Magical and transporting . . . Wayward proves that Bunyan has lived the best possible life, on her own idiosyncratic terms Maggie O Farrell A gorgeous account of outsiderness and survival: a map of how to live outside the boundaries and of striving for an authentic artistic life. A quietly defiant and moving work Sinéad Gleeson An epic in miniature . . . I loved - and lived - every sentence Benjamin MyersIn 1968, Vashti Bunyan gave up everything and everybody she knew in London to take to the road with a horse, wagon, dog, guitar and her then partner. They made the long journey up to the Outer Hebrides in an odyssey of discovery and heartbreak, full of the joy of freedom and the trudge of everyday reality, sleeping in the woods, fighting freezing winters and homelessness. Along the way, Vashti wrote the songs that would lead to the recording of her 1970 s album Just Another Diamond Day, the lilting lyrics and guitar conveying innocent wonder at the world around her, whilst disguising a deeper turmoil under the surface. From an unconventional childhood in post-war London, to a fledgling career in mid-sixties pop - recording a single written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards - to the despair and failure to make any headway with her own songs, she rejected the music world altogether and left it all behind. After retreating to a musical wilderness for thirty years, the rediscovery of her recordings in 2000 brought Vashti a second chance to write, record and perform once more. One of the great hippie myths of the 1960s, Wayward, Just Another Life to Live, rewrites the narrative of a barefoot girl on the road to describe a life lived at full tilt from the first, revealing what it means to change course and her emotional struggle, learning to take back control of her own life.

Black History Is for Everyone - Brian Jones
A longtime educator explores how the study of Black history challenges our understanding of race, nation, and the stories we tell about who we are.Black history is under attack from powerful forces that seek to excise it from classrooms, libraries, and the popular imagination. Yet its opponents fail to understand a simple truth: the best education challenges our assumptions, helps us see larger forces at work, and gives us glimpses of alternate futures.In Black History Is for Everyone, Brian Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history, using his own experiences as a lifelong learner and classroom teacher to question everything—from the radicalism of the American Revolution to the meaning of “race” and “nation.”With warmth and immersive storytelling, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high, the effort is worth it.

History of the World in 100 Animals - Simon Barnes
#39;So, so good! ... More gems than a pirate #39;s chest ... science, art, history, culture - it #39;s epic and mammoth, a repository of all our truths through their lives #39; Chris PackhamA powerful and fascinating insight into the 100 animals - from the blue whale to the mosquito - that have had the biggest influence on humanity through the ages. We are not alone. We are not alone on the planet. We are not alone in the countryside. We are not alone in cities. We are not alone in our homes. We are humans and we love the idea of our uniqueness. But the fact is that we humans are as much members of the animal kingdom as the cats and dogs we surround ourselves with, the cows and the fish we eat, and the bees who pollinate so many of our food-plants. In The History of the World in 100 Animals, award-winning author Simon Barnes selects the 100 animals who have had the greatest impact on humanity and on whom humanity has had the greatest effect. He shows how we have domesticated animals for food and for transport, and how animals powered agriculture, making civilisation possible. A species of flea came close to destroying human civilisation in Europe, while the slaughter of a species of bovines was used to create one civilisation and destroy another. He explains how pigeons made possible the biggest single breakthrough in the history of human thought. In short, he charts the close relationship between humans and animals, finding examples from around the planet that bring the story of life on earth vividly to life, with great insight and understanding. The heresy of human uniqueness has led us across the millennia along the path of destruction. This book, beautifully illustrated throughout, helps us to understand our place in the world better, so that we might do a better job of looking after it. That might save the polar bears, the modern emblem of impending loss and destruction. It might even save ourselves.

A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects - Sally Coulthard
A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature WritingThe untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and ⠓ of course ⠓ the countryside. Charles Spencer, author of The White ShipFor most of human history, we were rural folk. Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places ⠓ the church, the green, the school and the marketplace.And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold.There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children⠙s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past.From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past.

The Eunuch in Byzantine History and Society - Shaun Tougher
The existence of eunuchs was one of the defining features of the Byzantine Empire. Covering the whole span of the history of the empire, from the fourth to the fifteenth centuries AD, Shaun Tougher presents a comprehensive survey of the history and roles of eunuchs, making use of extensive comparative material, such as from China, Persia and the Ottoman Empire, as well as about castrato singers of the eighteenth century of Enlightenment Europe, and self-castrating religious devotees such as the Galli of ancient Rome, early Christians, the Skoptsy of Russia and the Hijras of India.The various roles played by eunuchs are examined. They are not just found as servile attendants; some were powerful political players – such as Chrysaphius who plotted to assassinate Attila the Hun – and others were prominent figures in Orthodoxy as bishops and monks. Furthermore, there is offered an analysis of how society thought about eunuchs, especially their gender identity - were they perceived as men, women, or a third sex? The broad survey of the political and social position of eunuchs in the Byzantine Empire is placed in the context of the history of the eunuch in general. An appendix listing key eunuchs of the Byzantine Empire describing their careers is included, and the text is fully illustrated.

Creed Love in Black, 75 ml, Parfémované vody pro ženy, Love in Black je květinová vůně pro ženy z dílny unikátní, luxusní, dynastické a soukromě vlastněné značky nikových (niche) parfémů Creed. Značka Creed se krom výjimečné tradice předávané z otce na syna již od roku 1760 a věhlasné historie (přes 250 let tvorby neobyčejných vůní pro královské rodiny a další náročné zákazníky s vytříbeným vkusem) pyšní také využíváním starověké techniky zpracovávání vzácných materiálů vybraných pro výrobu svých bezkonkurenčních parfémů. Parfémovaná voda Creed Love in Black nabízí vůni divokých květin za soumraku. parfémovaná voda Love in Black patří mezi pravé klenoty značky Creed. Tato svůdná a současně elegantní květinová kytice je společným dílem Oliviera Creeda, špičkového návrháře vůní ze šesté generace dynastie Creedů a Erwina Creeda ze sedmé generace. Inspirací jim byla asi nejzajímavější První dáma Spojených států 20. století Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, jejíž tajuplnou krásu vůně Creed Love in Black evokuje. Vůně dokonale ztvárňuje vznešený a vytříbený vkus nezapomenutelné První dámy. K vytvoření parfémované vody Love in Black byly použity suroviny z míst, které zcestovalá Jacqueline milovala. A dokonce i flakon je inspirován tmavým pískem z řeckých ostrovů, kde se tato pozoruhodná dáma vdávala, a její oblíbenou černou sametovou jezdeckou čapkou. Vonná kompozice Creed Love in Black se v hlavě otevírá akordy italské fialky, viržinského cedru a lučního kvítí. V srdci zavoní kosatec, hřebíček a pižmo a základ sestává z tónů černého rybízu a bulharské růže. Celkové aroma, mistrovsky propojující pudrovité, květinové a dřevité stránky s ovocnými a hřejivě kořenitými aspekty, je vznešeně elegantní, nenuceně svůdné. parfémovanou vodu Creed Love in Black, plnou unikátního vytříbeného charakteru, ocení zejména ženy, které mají rády pudrovité květinové vůně, zejména pak ty s fialkou a kosatcem v hlavní roli. Navždy si získá obdivovatelky osobitého stylu nezapomenutelné Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis a samozřejmě také každou dámu, která dokáže ocenit kvalitu, luxus. Love in Black se hodí na den i na večer a to po celý rok. Nejlépe však vynikne za podzimních nocí. Své nositelce vždy poskytne nádherný dotyk výjimečnosti a dodá jí auru vznešenosti a vytříbeného stylu. Kromě úchvatných vůní zaujmou všechny parfémy značky Creed také svým výjimečným a elegantně krásným balením. Jako je tomu u mnoha parfémů Creed, i na tomto se objevuje slovo „millesime“, které je puncem kvality. Značí totiž, že k výrobě parfému byly použity ty nejlepší suroviny z daného roku. Creed Love in Black – vůně inspirovaná tajemnou krásou Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
