A panoramic exploration of peoples, objects and beliefs over 40,000 years from the celebrated author of A History of the World in 100 Objects and Germany, following the new BBC Radio 4 documentary and British Museum exhibition.

Neil MacGregor''s A History of the World in 100 Objects takes a bold, original approach to human history, exploring past civilizations through the objects that defined them. Encompassing a grand sweep of human history, A History of the World in 100 Objects begins with one of the earliest surviving objects made by human hands, a chopping tool from the Olduvai gorge in Africa, and ends with objects which characterise the world we live in today. Seen through MacGregor''s eyes, history is a kaleidoscope - shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising, and shaping our world today in ways that most of us have never imagined. A stone pillar tells us about a great Indian emperor preaching tolerance to his people; Spanish pieces of eight tell us about the beginning of a global currency; and an early Victorian tea-set speaks to us about the impact of empire. An intellectual and visual feast, this is one of the most engrossing and unusual history books published in years.

From Neil MacGregor, the author of A History of the World in 100 Objects, this is a view of Germany like no otherFor the past 140 years, Germany has been the central power in continental Europe. Twenty-five years ago a new German state came into being. How much do we really understand this new Germany, and how do its people now understand themselves?Neil MacGregor argues that uniquely for any European country, no coherent, over-arching narrative of Germany''s history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable. Its frontiers have constantly floated. Königsberg, home to the greatest German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, is now Kaliningrad, Russia; Strasbourg, in whose cathedral Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Germany''s greatest writer, discovered the distinctiveness of his country''s art and history, now lies within the borders of France. For most of the five hundred years covered by this book Germany has been composed of many separate political units, each with a distinct history. And any comfortable national story Germans might have told themselves before 1914 was destroyed by the events of the following thirty years.German history may be inherently fragmented, but it contains a large number of widely shared memories, awarenesses ...

The Elizabethan age was a tumultuous time, when long-cherished certainties were crumbling and life was exhilaratingly uncertain. Shakespeare''s Restless World uncovers the extraordinary stories behind twenty objects from the period to re-create an age at once distant and yet surprisingly familiar. From knife crime to belief in witches, religious battles to the horizons of the New World, Neil MacGregor brings the past to life in a fresh, unexpected portrait of a dangerous and dynamic era.''Fascinating ... filled with anecdotes and insights, eerie, funny, poignant and grotesque ... another brilliant vindication of MacGregor''s understanding of physical objects to enter deep into our fore­fathers'' mental and spiritual world'' Christopher Hart, Sunday Times''Enjoyable and intriguing, an absorbing evocation ... he draws us into the minds of the Elizabethan and Jacobean audience. Next time you see one of the plays reading this book will make those first audiences seem real to you'' Peter Lewis, Daily Mail''How gripping are these tales from a lost world.

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.

Prepared to live at your prime?Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients--spontaneously shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment. Excess weight is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared or ‘primed’ for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle. Her program is not about what you can''t have or do, it''s about adding simple teas and herbs, and succeeding without giving up any foods you love. With The Prime, Dr. Chaudhary has reverse engineered our way of eating, so we can stop dieting backward and start losing weight instead. You''ll learn: --The importance of neuroadaptation, food addiction, and the brain (or, why your brain and gut have made it so hard to lose weight in the past!)--Why it’s not about what you eat, but what you digest--How to determine if you have a Leaky Brain—and what The Prime can do about it (hint: everything)--How to easily crush ...

Co má společného míšeňský porcelán, šťavnaté klobásky, Valhala nebo design Bauhausu, Bismarck či Karel Veliký, Braniborská brána a vjezd do koncentračního tábora v Buchenwaldu? Všechno jsou to symboly Německa vztahující se k jeho vzletům i pádům. Jejich prostřednictvím zkoumá britský kunsthistorik Neil MacGregor klíčové okamžiky německých dějin. Analyzuje pozadí převratných německých úspěchů, rozvoje kultury i technického a společenského pokroku, a zároveň sleduje cestu vedoucí k děsivým tragédiím. Obsáhlá kniha vznikla paralelně k úspěšné rozhlasové sérii Německo: Vzpomínky jednoho národa, kterou produkovala stanice BBC Radio 4 ve spolupráci s Britským muzeem a Neilem MacGregorem. " "Každý, kdo chce porozumět Německu, by si měl tuto knihu přečíst." Observer "Tato kniha, sepsaná s obrovským osobním zanícením, obstojí i při zkoumání pod drobnohledem (jemuž bude nepochybně vystavena) (…) Německo, Vzpomínky jednoho národa je hluboce prožitým, pečlivě zkoncipovaným a důležitým příspěvkem k úvahám nejen o charakteru moderního Německa, ale i celé Evropy."
