A BEHIND THE SCENES GLIMPSE INTO THE LIVES OF HENRY VIII, ANNE BOLEYN, ELIZABETH I AND MORE: PERFECT FOR FANS OF WOLF HALL Readers LOVE The Private Lives of the Tudors: A truly informative and thoroughly enjoyable read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was an absolutely delight, and I read it in record time ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I found this book riveting and took it on holiday! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ---- I do not live in a corner. A thousand eyes see all I do. Elizabeth IThe Tudor monarchs were constantly surrounded by an army of attendants, courtiers and ministers. Even in their most private moments, they were accompanied by a servant specifically appointed for the task. A groom of the stool would stand patiently by as Henry VIII performed his daily purges, and when Elizabeth I retired for the evening, one of her female servants would sleep at the end of her bed.These attendants knew the truth behind the glamorous exterior. They saw the tears shed by Henry VII upon the death of his son Arthur. They knew the tragic secret behind Bloody Mary s phantom pregnancies. And they saw the crooked carcass beneath Elizabeth I s carefully applied makeup, gowns and accessories.It is the accounts of these eyewitnesses, as well as a rich array of other contemporary sources that historian Tracy Borman has examined more closely than ever before. With new insights and discoveries, and in the same way that she brilliantly illuminated the real Thomas Cromwell - The Private Life of the Tudors will reveal previously unexamined details about the characters we think we know so well.----Critical acclaim for The Private Lives of the Tudors: Borman approaches her topic with huge enthusiasm and a keen eye for entertaining...this is a very human story of a remarkable family, full of vignettes that sit long in the mind. Dan Jones, The Sunday Times Tracy Borman s eye for detail is impressive; the book is packed with fascinating courtly minutiae... this is a wonderful book. The Times Borman is an authoritative and engaging writer, good at prising out those humanising details that make the past alive to us. The Observer Fascinating, detailed account of the everyday reality of the royals... This is a book of rich scholarship. Daily Mail Tracy Borman s passion for the Tudor period shines forth from the pages of this fascinatingly detailed book, which vividly illuminates what went on behind the scenes at the Tudor court.

The Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Karl Miller.Robert Wringham s family is composed of a dissolute father and brother, a pious mother, and a rival father in the person of a fanatical Calvinist minister.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR NATURE LOVERSâ ˜To see a hare sit still as stone, to watch a hare boxing on a frosty March morning, to witness a hare bolt . . . these are great things. Every field should have a hare.â ™ The hare, a night creature and country-dweller, is a rare sight for most people. We know them only from legends and stories. They are shape-shifters, witchesâ ™ familiars and symbols of fertility. They are arrogant, as in Aesopâ ™s The Hare and the Tortoise, and absurd, as in Lewis Carrollâ ™s Mad March Hare. In the absence of observed facts, speculation and fantasy have flourished. But real hares? What are they like? In The Private Life of the Hare, John Lewis-Stempel explores myths, history and the reality of the hare. And in vivid, elegant prose he celebrates how, in an age when television cameras have revealed so much in our landscape, the hare remains as elusive and magical as ever.

The eye is one of the most remarkable achievements of evolution, and has evolved up to 40 times in different parts of the animal kingdom. In humans, vision is the most important sense, and much of the brain is given over to the processing of visual information.

He explores the evolution of colour vision in primates and the workings of the human eye, to consider how that contributes to our visual ability. He explains how we see in three dimensions and the basic principles of visual perception, including our impressive capacity for pattern recognition and the ability of vision to guide action.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Fifteen-year-old Dimkpa dreams of the day his father will be made village head. He will return to school and maybe even go on to university; his mother will no longer have to break her back foraging wild food to sell at market; they will have the money to build a fine tomb for his aunt Okike; and his familyâ ™s status as ohu ma, the lowest Igbo caste, wonâ ™t matter anymore. But when his father is passed over for a younger man, breaking tradition, Dimkpa realises that he must make his own fate. Journeying from his small village in rural Nigeria, to Lagos, Awka, and home again, Dimkpa learns that no money is easy money, that superstition runs deep, that knowledge is power, and that sometimes it is better to live in the present than always be chasing a future just out of reach. The Liquid Eye of a Moon is by turns hilarious and poignant, capturing all the messiness of adolescence, and the difficulty of making your own way in a world that seeks to oppress you.

This book provides an authoritative account of the evolution and application of private international law principles in India in civil commercial and family matters. Through a structured evaluation of the legislative and judicial decisions, the authors examine the private international law in the Republic and whether it conforms to international standards and best practices as adopted in major jurisdictions such as the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, India s BRICS partners - Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa and other common law systems such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Nepal. Divided into 13 chapters, the book provides a contextualised understanding of legal transformation on key aspects of the Indian conflict-of-law rules on jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments or arbitral awards. Particularly fascinating in this regard is the discussion and focus on both traditional and contemporary areas of private international law, including marriage, divorce, contractual concerns, the fourth industrial revolution, product liability, e-commerce, intellectual property, child custody, surrogacy and the complicated interface of â ˜Shariaâ ™ in the conflict-of-law framework.The book deliberates the nuanced perspective of endorsing the Hague Conference on Private International Law instruments favouring enhanced uniformity and predictability in matters of choice of court, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The book s international and comparative focus makes it eminently resourceful for legislators, the judges of Indian courts and other interested parties such as lawyers and litigants when they are confronted with cross-border disputes that involve an examination of India s private international law. The book also provides a comprehensive understanding of Indian private international law, which will be useful for academics and researchers looking for an in-depth discussion on the subject.

Pěstěné a svěže vypadající oční okolí rozzáří celou tvář a dodá vám zdravý a odpočatý vzhled.Pokožka kolem očí je mnohem tenčí a až pětkrát více pórovitá než na zbytku těla. Proto se zde nejvíce projevuje špatná životospráva a stárnutí. Jemná pleť kolem očí potřebuje důkladnou péči bez ohledu na to, zda máte suchou nebo mastnou pleť.
