''Highly readable and deeply researched'' - Andrew Roberts ''Masterful ... brilliantly brings to life one of the most complex characters of modern European history'' - Sunday Telegraph''It is sure to be the standard English-language account for many years. It instructs; it entertains; and it surprises'' - Philip Mansel, The SpectatorFrederick the Great, King of Prussia, dominated the eighteenth century in the same way that Napoleon dominated the start of the nineteenth. He was a force of nature, a ruthless, brilliant, charismatic military commander, a monarch of exceptional energy and talent, a gifted composer, performer, poet and philosopher, and a discerning patron of artists, architects and writers, most famously Voltaire. From the very start of his reign he was an intensely divisive figure - fascinating even to those who hated him.Tim Blanning''s brilliant new biography captures Frederick''s vitality, complexity and flawed genius better than any previous writer. He also recreates a remarkable era, the last flowering of the old regime that would be swept away almost immediately after Frederick''s death by the French Revolution. Equally at home on the battlefield or in the music room at Frederick''s extraordinary miniature palace of Sanssouci, Blanning draws on a lifetime''s immersion in the eighteenth century to present him in the round, with new attention paid to his cultural self-fashioning, including his sexuality. Frederick''s spectre has hung over Germany ever since, both as inspiration and warning - Blanning at last allows us to understand him in his own time.

A new edition of the classic African American autobiography, now with with the inclusion of Douglass''s other works.The pre-eminent American slave narrative published in 1845, the Narrative powerfully details the life of the abolitionist Frederick Douglass from his birth into slavery in 1818 to his escape to the North in 1838: how he endured the daily physical and spiritual brutalities of his owners and drivers, how he learned to read and write, and how he grew into a man who could only live free or die.Also included in this edition are Douglass''s famous oration The Meaning of the Fourth of July to the Negro and his only known work of fiction, the novella The Heroic Slave.Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born into slavery in 1818 in Tuckahoe, Maryland. He changed his surname to Douglass to conceal his identity after escaping slavery in 1838 and making his way to Philadelphia and New York. Having been taught to read by the wife of one of his former owners, Douglass wrote later that literacy was his ''pathway from slavery to freedom'', and in 1845 he published his instantly bestselling Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. Renowned as the foremost African American advocate against slavery and segregation of his time, he repeatedly risked his own freedom as an antislavery lecturer, writer and publisher. He died in Washington, D.C., in 1895, and after lying in state in the nation''s capital, was buried in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.Ira Dworkin is Associate Director of the Prince Alwaleed Center for American Studies and Research and Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature at The American University in Cairo.

Frederick the Great was an acknowledged master of war. Admired and studied by Napoleon, he commanded the Prussian army at sixteen major battles and numerous sieges and other actions, often leading from the front. Under Frederick the Prussian Army became arguably the most feared and efficient in Europe, often defeating numerically superior forces. Gabriele Esposito details the organization, uniforms and equipment of the various branches of service that made up the Prussian Army. Starting with the infantry, whose incredible discipline and excellent training made them the backbone of Frederick''s forces he details the famous Guards and the line regiments but also the light infantry jagers and even little-known garrison and auxiliary units. Equal attention is given to the cavalry: Guards, cuirassiers, dragoons, lancers and hussars. There is also a chapter devoted to the ''technical corps'' of artillery, pioneers and the like, and there are chapters on the mercenary ''freikorps'' and Frederick''s German allies. The whole is lavishly illustrated with beautiful colour plates.

"Throughout his long career, Frederick Douglass cut an imposing figure, renowned as an impassioned abolitionist, a fiery writer and newspaper editor. He was a great public speaker, who became a one-man crusade for black liberation." - Robert McCrum, The Guardian."It is difficult to think of anyone, at any time, who examined the race problem in its many aspects more profoundly, extensively, and subtly than W. E. B. Du Bois." - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy."I knew that, in a large degree, we were trying an experiment--that of testing whether or not it was possible for Negroes to build up and control the affairs of a large educational institution. I knew that if we failed it would injure the whole race." ―Booker T. Washington.Three African American Classics contains three of the most significant works of African American literature by three authors who led vastly different lives. In Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), a runaway slave, describes the horrors and humiliations of slavery, his escape, and his journey to becoming one of America''s great statesmen and orators. Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), born into slavery, was freed at the age of nine at the end of the Civil War. Until his first day at school he was known only by the name "Booker," but to be like all the other children, he quickly added "Washington," beginning his non-confrontational approach to self-advancement. Up from Slavery describes his childhood as a slave, his dogged pursuit of education, his founding of the Tuskegee Institute, now Tuskegee University, his work promoting educational and business opportunities for former slaves, and as an advisor to several US presidents.The Massachusetts-born, Harvard-educated W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963) begins The Souls of Black Folk with the prescient phrase: "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line." Lyrically and poetically written, The Souls of Black Folk is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature. It is a profound examination of race in America, drawing on both Du Bois''s academic training and his personal experience as an African American in the United States. The Souls of Black Folk has been called "the political Bible of the Negro race."This edition is set in an easy to read 11-point font.

In the summer of 1845, Frederick Douglass, the young runaway slave catapulted to fame by his incendiary autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, arrived in Liverpool for the start of a near-two-year tour of Britain and Ireland he always called one of the most transformative periods of his life. Laurence Fenton draws on a wide array of sources from both sides of the Atlantic and combines a unique insight into the early years of one of the great figures of the nineteenth-century world with rich profiles of the enormous personalities at the heart of the transatlantic anti-slavery movement. This vivid portrait of life in Victorian Britain is the first to fully explore the ‘liberating sojourn’ that ended with Douglass gaining his freedom – paid for by British supporters – before returning to America as a celebrity and icon of international standing. It also follows his later life, through the American Civil War and afterwards.Douglass has been described as ‘the most influential African American of the nineteenth century’. He spoke and wrote on behalf of a variety of reform causes: women’s rights, temperance, peace, land reform, free public education and the abolition of capital punishment. But he devoted most of his time, immense talent and boundless energy to ending slavery. On 14 April 1876, Douglass would deliver the keynote speech at the unveiling of the Emancipation Memorial in Washington’s Lincoln Park.

Part of the Hero Classics series“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”Douglass cultivated himself to such an extent that the listeners of his lectures doubted if his narratives were true. His autobiography is both a compelling tale of a slave and a contribution to the public discourse on slavery. His language is poetic and precise honed in its simplicity as if something artificially put together but immensely natural at the same time. Opening this book is opening the door into Douglass''s consciousness and tracking his inner journey of finding himself in the world: a story of his childhood and youth – a long and laborious path to freedom. Douglass talks about the explicit punishments and tortures that slaves were exposed to. Despite the suffering, he emphasizes the power of self-education and continuous resistance that pushes one to fight their predicament. The publication of this book was such an unprecedented event that the author had to leave the US for Europe for about two years. The fact that Douglass''s experience and meditations were issued in print gave him a wider audience, not restricting dissemination of his beliefs to those who could physically come to his public speeches.The Hero Classics series: Meditations The Prophet A Room of One’s Own Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl The Art of War The Life of Charlotte Bronte The Republic The Prince Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave

Few people had a career that spanned two world wars and which involved some of the most dramatic and dangerous moments of the 20th century. Group Captain Frederick Winterbotham CBE, however, was one of them. Following the outbreak of war in the summer of 1914, a young Frederick, then still just 17 years old and only freshly back from a trip around the world, enlisted in the ranks of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars Yeomanry. Soon, though, Winterbotham’s thoughts turned in a new direction – and a transfer to the Royal Flying Corps followed. Having gained his pilot’s ‘Wings’, Winterbotham was posted to 29 Squadron, then on the Western Front in France, in April 1917. Early in 1930, Winterbotham rejoined the Air Staff with the official duties of a liaison officer; unofficially he was to operate an Air Department in Britain’s Secret Service. It was in this role that, in the 1930s, he made a number of visits to Germany where he undertook a valuable intelligence and high-level espionage role among many of the top Nazis – meetings that he reveals here in dramatic detail. These encounters included Hitler himself. During the war Winterbotham was based at Bletchley Park and reported directly to the head of MI6, Sir Hugh Sinclair, as well as his successor, Sir Stewart Menzies. He was subsequently appointed as the organisation’s deputy and tasked with safeguarding the distribution and use of top secret intelligence throughout the Allied forces, which included the Enigma and Ultra transcripts. So important was this work, that Winterbotham would often report information they contained directly, and personally, to Winston Churchill. Winterbotham remained an unsung war hero, because the cracking of Enigma was considered so secret it was not revealed for some thirty years after the war, when he published his best-selling book The Ultra Secret. This autobiography is the story of one man’s remarkable service to his nation through two world wars.

The first publication of artist and architect Frederick Kiesler’s epoch-spanning history of human architecture, largely unknown but still relevant.Magic Architecture was the architect Frederick Kiesler’s most ambitious book project, an epoch-spanning history of human housing from prehistory to the atomic era—and yet it was never published, as Kiesler moved on to other exhibitions and projects. Kiesler’s comparative exploration of the quasi-“magical” effects of atomic technology and contemporary telekinetic military systems and the alternative epistemology of “magic” practices associated with cave drawings and protohistoric subterranean settlements reflects his profoundly interdisciplinary perspective on the evolution of art, architecture, and design.This edition preserves Kiesler’s conception of the book as a neo-Vitruvian Renaissance treatise divided into ten parts or books that narrate an alternative history and theory of architecture. Also included are sixty composite illustrations, cut and pasted from books and popular science journals, with elaborate captions. The editors have reassembled the book’s text and illustrations from archival material, supplementing them with notes that document the evolution of the work. Introductory essays provide a chronology of Kiesler’s research and an interpretation of key themes. Appendixes offer additional textual and visual material gathered by Kiesler for the project.

Cults and other forms of persuasive leadership have become increasingly topical for clinical professionals. However, little has been established on how to understand and approach them in a clinical and forensic context. Authored by experts in forensic psychiatry and psychology, this book reviews the theoretical, clinical, and forensic issues pertaining to cult leaders, followers, and those who may encounter them in a variety of social, medical, and legal contexts. This text applies evidence-based study to specific group subtypes to facilitate conceptualization, understanding, treatment, and approach to cult leaders and members alike. Chapters review the empirical basis of the contemporary understanding of cults and organizations with similar frameworks, addressing issues as they relate to unique populations, comorbid mental disorders, mind-altering substances, treatment, and the forensic and legal implications inherent to them. This book will appeal to psychiatrists, psychologists, other mental health professionals, and those working in the judicial system.

Kniha je základním textem představujícím teorii a praxi gestalt terapie, významného psychoterapeutického směru, který se objevuje v polovině 20. století. Jeho původce, Frederick Perls, ho uvedl jako výsledek svého celoživotního úsilí o rozvinutí nového psychoterapeutického modelu, který by důsledně vycházel z holistických a organizmických principů a představoval tak alternativu k ortodoxní psychoanalytické doktríně nebo mechanistické behaviorální tradici. I když původní myšlenky pocházejí od Fredericka Perlse, kniha je výsledkem tvořivé spolupráce tří autorů (Paula Goodmana, který materiál dílu rozvinul a přepracoval, a Ralpha Hefferline, jenž vše aplikoval v praxi). Tato publikace se zcela právem řadí mezi "klasická" díla o psychoterapii vůbec. Podává základní výklad pro nový psychoterapeutický přístup, rozhodně ale není "lehkým" čtením. Nelze ji číst jedním dechem, jak je tomu u mnoha populárních psychologických knížek. Zejména pro čtenáře, který se zatím neorientuje v základní teorii gestalt terapie, může být zpočátku těžkým soustem. Je to však základní práce pro seriózního studenta, který je připraven číst a studovat ji znovu, zažívat ji pomalu a trpělivě. Kniha poprvé vyšla před více než půlstoletím a o jejím vlivu na další generace psychologů a psychoterapeutů svědčí i její pravidelné reedice a překlady do všech světových jazyků.

Audiokniha: The fourth step into the Darkness is called Murderers, and it takes the listener into the realm of vampire stories and haunted houses. The first – The Tomb of Sara – was written by English navy officer, and writer, Frederick George Loring. It was one of the very first stories from the last century featuring a lady vampire. The feminine element represents the connection with Luella Miller by Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman. The inhabitant of a haunted house sucks life out of everyone who gets interested in her – and the atmosphere gets denser throughout the story. This relatively short story is incredibly touching, and you will remember it for a long time. The atmosphere builds up thanks to well-chosen voices, music, and graphics.

Kniha je souborem přepisů tří workshopů, které se odehrály ve slavném Esalenském institutu v roce 1968. V nich Perls živě demonstruje, co je gestalt: celek lidského prožívání, do něhož se v rámci terapie snažíme opět zahrnout všechny myšlenky, vjemy a emoce, které jsme od sebe dříve oddělili. První část knihy obsahuje čtyři přednášky, v nichž Perls jasně a jednoduše vysvětluje základní myšlenky, které podle něj tvoří filozofii a metodologii gestalt terapie. Následují záznamy semináře na téma snů. Hlavním Perlsovým záměrem zde není sen analyzovat, ale znovu prožít. Poslední část zaznamenává několik po sobě následujících individuálních sezení s jednou osobou a také skupinové setkání. Zde se Perls snaží zachytit další aspekty gestalt terapie, které z předchozích částí nejsou tak patrné. Kniha je základním svědectvím o tom, jak gestalt terapii praktikoval její zakladatel. Frederick S. Perls (1893–1970) byl americký psychoterapeut německo-židovského původu. Původně byl ovlivněn Freudem, ale později se od analýzy odklonil směrem k důrazu na prožívání a se svou ženou Laurou vytvořil koncept gestalt terapie. Ta je založena na poznávání a vyjadřování vlastních prožitků „tady a teď“ a na živý kontakt s okolím a druhými lidmi. Kvůli svému židovskému původu Perls ve 30. letech 20. století odešel z Německa a zakotvil nejprve v Jižní Africe, později v USA a nakonec v Kanadě. Největšího vlivu dosáhl v rámci svého působení v kalifornském Esalenu.

Když dětí přicházejí na svět, často pláčou, místo toho, aby prostě jen dýchaly. Co se skrývá za jejich křikem? Je možné, že by pro dítě bylo stejně bolestné narodit se jako pro matku porodit? V tomto lyrickém textu nám Frédérick Leboyer odhaluje, že tam, kde matčina zkouška končí, zkouška dítěte začíná, a ukazuje nám, jak udělat, aby dítě přijalo a milovalo tento svět, náš svět, v němž se právě ocitlo. Tato průkopnická a dnes již klasická kniha opírající se o porodnickou praxi autora významnou měrou přispěla k lidštějšímu porodnictví i k rozvoji oboru prenatální i perinatální psychologie. "Narodit se můžeme jen jednou. Nemáme k dispozici více pokusů či oprav. A přestože víme, že nás prožitek a zkušenosti z porodu mohou ve větší či menší míře ovlivňovat po zbytek našeho života, zrození stále věnujeme jen velmi málo pozornosti anebo snižujeme význam jeho vlivu."

The Nazi Connection details Frederick William Winterbotham's work as Chief of the Air Intelligence Department in the British Secret Intelligence Service before World War II. Tasked with gathering intelligence on military aviation in potential adversary nations, Winterbotham focused on Germany, visiting the country multiple times as a civilian Air Ministry official. His apparent sympathy for Nazi ideology allowed him to gather vital information on Germany’s rearmament plans, while building relationships with high-ranking Nazis. Winterbotham was welcomed by top Nazi officials, including Alfred Rosenberg, and even met Hitler, Hess, and Göring. During his visits, Winterbotham learned about Hitler’s plans to invade the Soviet Union and gained insights into Germany's military preparations, including the emerging concept of blitzkrieg. Despite this critical intelligence, convincing British leaders to heed these warnings proved difficult. Winterbotham’s predictions were dismissed until Germany’s military aggression became undeniable. The Nazi Connection explores the complex web of espionage and deception surrounding Winterbotham’s mission. It questions how different the course of history might have been if Britain had acted on Winterbotham's intelligence about Nazi Germany’s intentions. This story of missed opportunities and high-stakes intelligence offers a fascinating look into the prelude to World War II.

"Depend upon it, God''s work done in God''s way will never lack God''s supplies." - Hudson Taylor"Hudson Taylor was ...one of the greatest missionaries of all time, and... one of the four or five most influential foreigners who came to China in the nineteenth century for any purpose..." - Kenneth Scott Latourette (Author, A History of the Expansion of Christianity)"No other missionary since the Apostle Paul has had a wider vision and has carried out a more systematized plan of evangelizing a broad geographical area than Hudson Taylor." - Ruth Tucker (author of From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: A Biographical History of Christian Missions.)A single sentence in 1869 transformed Hudson Taylor''s life and consequently the lives of hundreds of people in England and thousands of Chinese converts. After his experience he exclaimed "Oh, Mr Judd, God has made me a new man! God has made me a new man!"Hudson Taylor''s spiritual secret was the realization of what it meant to be in union with Christ: daily, even hourly, resting in his presence provided seemingly inexhaustible joy, peace, and energy. These were obvious to those who observed him in his strenuous life of prodigious missionary work. His colleague Charles Judd recorded,"He was a joyous man now, a bright happy Christian. He had been a toiling, burdened one before, with latterly not much rest of soul. ... Whenever he spoke in meetings after that, a new power seemed to flow from him, and in the practical things of life, a new peace possessed him. Troubles did not worry him as before. He cast everything on God in a new way... Instead of working late at night, he began to go to bed earlier, rising at 5 A.M. to give time to Bible study and prayer.H. B. Macartney observes,"Here was the real thing ... a man almost sixty years of age, bearing tremendous burdens, yet absolutely calm and untroubled."His phenomenal energy is attested to by the growth of the China Inland Mission, which he founded. At the time of his death, it had 825 missionaries in over 300 mission stations spread over all eighteen provinces of China. Their converts accounted for a quarter of all Christians in China. Hudson Taylor never solicited funds, and he suffered from personal and family ill-health, as well as frequent violence towards Christians in China.While many other Christians, both famous and unknown, have discovered the secret of a changed life, this book is perhaps the best exposition of a life-changing Christian epiphany, and the resulting transformation. Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, Hudson Taylor''s son and daughter-in-law, both of whom lived and worked with Hudson Taylor, have carefully pieced together the story from personal correspondence from and about Hudson Taylor. Numerous Christians, such as Jack Miller, founder of World Harvest Mission, continue to credit this book with transforming their lives far beyond what they had imagined possible. Hudson Taylor''s Spiritual Secret is essential reading for any Christian wishing to deepen their faith.About the Authors: Dr. Frederick Howard Taylor was Hudson Taylor''s son. He was a medical doctor as well as a missionary to China. His wife Geraldine Taylor (Mrs. Howard Taylor) was missionary, but she also had a love of writing, and wrote numerous biographies of missionaries, including one of "Borden of Yale."
