Niall Ferguson s acclaimed bestseller on the highs and lows of Britain s empireOnce vast swathes of the globe were coloured imperial red and Britannia ruled not just the waves, but the prairies of America, the plains of Asia, the jungles of Africa and the deserts of Arabia. Just how did a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic achieve all this? And why did the empire on which the sun literally never set finally decline and fall? Niall Ferguson s acclaimed Empire brilliantly unfolds the imperial story in all its splendours and its miseries, showing how a gang of buccaneers and gold-diggers planted the seed of the biggest empire in all history - and set the world on the road to modernity. The most brilliant British historian of his generation ...

The decline of the West is something that has long been prophesied. Symptoms of decline are all around us today: slowing growth, crushing debts, ageing populations. But what exactly is amiss with Western civilization? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, is that the institutions that were once the four pillars of Western society - representative government, the free market, the rule of law and civil society - are degenerating. The Great Degeneration is a powerful indictment of an era of negligence and complacency. To stop us frittering away the institutional inheritance of centuries, Ferguson warns, will take heroic leadership and radical reform.

The First World War killed around eight million men and bled Europe dry. In this provocative book Niall Ferguson asks: was the sacrifice worth it? Was it all really an inevitable cataclysm and were the Germans a genuine threat? Was the war, as is often asserted, greeted with popular enthusiasm? Why did men keep on fighting when conditions were so wretched? Was there in fact a death wish abroad, driving soldiers to their own destruction? The war, he argues, was a disaster - but not for the reasons we think. Far worse than a tragedy, it was the greatest error of modern history. The most challenging and provocative analysis of the First World War to date Ian Kershaw Must take a permanent place at the top of the War s historiography. It is one of the very few books whose own scale matches that of the events it describes Alan Clark, Daily Telegraph Possibly the most important book to appear in years both on the origins of the First World War ...

Britský historik Niall Ferguson (*1964) je profesorem na Harvardově univerzitě. Většina jeho prací, jež v západní Evropě vzbudily nebývalý zájem, je věnována hospodářským a sociálním dějinám 19. a 20. století. Největší pozornost prozatím vzbudila jeho kniha o příčinách první světové války (Nešťastná válka). V ní přišel s kacířskou tezí, že mocensko-politické vztahy v roce 1914 neeskalovaly kvůli německé agresivní, velmocenské politice, nýbrž kvůli nekompromisním postojům Velké Británie. Jeho další kniha nazvaná Vzestup peněz je věnována problematice rozvoje moderního finančního hospodářství, měnového systému a ekonomickým recesím a depresím v 19. a 20. století. Ferguson si v ní klade dvě základní otázky: Jakým způsobem moc peněz změnila mentální chování moderních lidí 19. a 20. století a jak ekonomika ve svém důsledku zvítězila nad politikou klasického 19. věku? Jeho odpovědi, někdy provokativní, ve svém důsledku osvětlují nejen vzestup moci peněz v moderních dějinách, ale také přičiny finanční krize, do níž se svět dostal v roce 2009.

Britský historik Niall Ferguson, autor řady vysoce oceňovaných publikací (naposledy např. Civilizace), ve své nové práci analyzuje podoby mocenského vlivu. Jednu - vertilkální, hierarchickou - charakterizuje metafora věže; druhou - horizontální, založenou na síti vztahů - zase obraz náměstí. Autor zkoumá jejich historický vývoj i koexistenci. V historických knihách je patrnější ona vertikální struktura, na jejímž vrcholu stáli králové a papežové, ale to neznamená, že by horizontální sítě společenských vztahů byly záležitostí moderní doby, ve které jako by komunikace po Facebooku hrála větší roli než politické uspořádání. Ferguson ukazuje podobu společenských sítí v minulých dobách a v jejich rozvoji a úpadku nachází varovné signály pro sítě novodobé, protože sítě byly vždy náchylné k uzavírání, přenášení negativních signálů či výpadkům.

This second volume of Niall Ferguson s acclaimed, landmark history of the legendary Rothschild banking dynasty concludes his myth-breaking portrait of one of the most powerful and fascinating families of modern times. With all the depth, clarity and drama with which he traced the Rothschild s ascent, Ferguson shows how their power waned as conflicts from Crimea to the Second World War repeatedly threatened the stability of their worldwide empire, and how their failure to establish themselves successfully in the United States would prove fateful. At once a classic family saga and a major work of economic, social and political history, this is the definitive biography of some of the most powerful financiers of recent times.

The beginning of the twentieth century saw human civilization at its most enlightened, well-educated, globalized and wealthy. What turned it into a bloodbath?Niall Ferguson re-tells the story of history s most savage century as a continual war that raged for 100 years. From the plains of Poland to the killing fields of Cambodia, he reveals how economic boom-and-bust, decaying empires and, above all, poisonous ideas of race led men to treat each other as aliens.

The international order established by the United States after World War II is in need of expansion and repair, but not reconception.⠙⠓Fareed ZakariaFears of a globalized world are rampant.

Ferguson líčí historii Britského impéria od 16. do 21. století. Impérium, které v době svého vrcholu ovládalo čtvrtinu světové populace, čtvrtinu zemského povrchu a téměř všechny oceány, se příznivě podepsalo na vývoji Spojených států a Kanady, Indie, Afriky, Austrálie, Nového Zélandu, východní Asie a Číny. Podle Fergusona impérium neožebračovalo národy, které se ocitly pod jeho nadvládou, ale naopak zajišťovalo jejich ekonomický blahobyt tím, že díky této nadvládě byly tyto země politicky stabilní. Idea svobody odlišovala impérium v minulosti od jeho evropských soupeřů, což se mj. projevilo během boje proti nevolnictví. Autor rovněž vyzdvihuje funkční efektivitu impéria. Například v Indii 900 civilních úředníků a 70 tisíc vojáků vládlo 250 milionům Indů. Kniha pro českého čtenáře představuje nejen možnost seznámit se s dějinami, fungováním a dědictvím Britského impéria, ale zároveň jedinečnou příležitost korigovat obsah takových zažitých pojmů, jako je kolonialismus nebo vykořisťování. Díky této knize můžeme také lépe pochopit odstup, který si Velká Británie vždy udržovala od kontinentu i Evropské unie a který nakonec vyvrcholil brexitem. Publikace je vybavena rozsáhlým obrazovým materiálem, který působivě dokresluje charakter a atmosféru impéria v té které době a zemi.

Church History, Volume One offers a unique contextual view of how the Christian church spread and grew from its development in the days of Jesus to the years leading up to the Reformation. Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God s people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both influenced and were influenced by the church.FEATURES:Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through the thirteenth centuries.Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish worlds and how they developed or declined.Insights into the church s relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan attitudes toward Christians.Explanations of the role of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy—both sacred and secular—in the Church.Details on the major theological controversies of the periods.Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible.AUTHOR S PERSPECTIVE:Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known. It s a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to live by a divine revelation. It s a story of how they succeeded and how they failed or fell short of their calling.From the Apostle Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history—the coming of the Son of God—and with their role in that event and in the lives of God s people.

In 1917 Harry Ferguson developed a method of attaching a wheel-less plough to a tractor to reduce the dangers of the machine overturning. By 1925 the plough was in production in the USA and Ferguson set about developing equipment that would effectively integrate the implement and the tractor.Ferguson teamed up with David Brown to produce the Ferguson-Brown Type A but sales did not meet Harry s expectations. Following a demonstration of the Ferguson-Brown tractor to Henry Ford, agreement was reached with the Ford Motor Company in the USA to build an improved version of the tractor there. It was launched in 1939 as the Ford-Ferguson 9N. When Ford terminated this arrangement Ferguson entered an agreement with the Standard Motor Company to bring production of what was now described as the Ferguson TE-20, to Britain. The first were built in 1946 and over the next ten years more than 793,000 examples were produced in Britain, France and the USA. With its revolutionary three-point hydraulic linkage, Ferguson had always seen his tractor as part of a complete farming system and by the time the TE-20 was superseded by the FE-35 in 1956, there were more than 100 Ferguson implements designed specifically to couple to the tractor.This is an enlarged and expanded edition, with many new pictures, of the comprehensive history of the TE-20 and the Ferguson System which helped to mechanise and revolutionise farming across the world. Today, with classic tractors a thriving hobby, few machines are more sought after than the TE-20. The book is also a reliable reference guide to finding, restoring and operating the little grey Fergie some 75 years since the first example was produced.

On the pitch, fans loved Duncan for his roguish charm, his thrilling goals and his total commitment in every game. Fighting tooth and nail, he was a born leader and took no prisoners.

The Island in the Sound, the third collection by Scottish poet Niall Campbell, creates an archipelago of memories, lyrics, observations and folktales that place the small islands of his birthplace into conversation with moments from literature and history.In this collection, mirroring the islands’ precarious future, we uncover strange links to Rome falling, Lindisfarne, and the temporary heaven found in Alamut, North Iran. The waters that churn around the islands in the poems bring strange things to their shores: saints, remnants of various types of havens, crab-boxes, and figures from the working-class lives of Uist. It is a poetry collection attuned to the growing sense that something is changing around us and there never will be a going back. These islands in the sound are what’s left: shaped, crafted, riven by the strange tuneful sea they sprang from.Niall Campbell’s first collection, Moontide (2014), won both the £20,000 Edwin Morgan Poetry Award and the Saltire First Book of the Year Award as well as being shortlisted for three other major prizes. First Nights: poems, a selection from Moontide with additional new poems, was published by Princeton University Press in the US in 2016. His second collection, Noctuary (2019), was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection. Born and raised on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, he now lives in Fife.

Toto je jeho oficiální autobiografie, kde shrnuje svou úspěšnou kariéru a vzpomíná kromě jiného na hráče, které si do mužstva vybral a jimž pomohl k přestupům za nevídané částky (Ronaldo, Beckham, Rooney a mnoho dalších). Samozřejmě se nevyhýbá ani hodnocení svých rivalů mezi trenéry. Jeho jasný, srozumitelný a vtipný text vás určitě dostane. Čte Ladislav Frej

Abridged editionIt had never been done before. Not in 4000 years of Japanese recorded history had anyone followed the Cherry Blossom Front from one end of the country to the other. Nor had anyone hitchhiked the length of Japan. But, heady on sakura and sake, Will Ferguson bet he could do both.The resulting travelogue is one of the funniest and most illuminating books ever written about Japan. And, as Ferguson learns, it illustrates that to travel is better than to arrive.

â ˜There is an honesty that is both heart-breaking and more hopeful than anything else I ve read on this subject. She makes me weep and wonder in equal measureâ ™ Hollie McNishEloquent and uncompromising, Swell explores the triumphs and hardships of the journey to new motherhood â “ through pregnancy, miscarriage, birth and beyond In the consultation room I stared at the purple flowers in their purple vase and imagined my insides: an ocean, a cave, a storm. Maria Fergusonâ ™s second poetry collection is a raw and powerful documentation of one womanâ ™s experience of becoming a mother. Against a backdrop of the sounds and sensations of daily life, Ferguson observes her body changing and charts a course through loss and wilting house plants, towards recovery, empowerment and renewal.Tender, direct and winningly witty, Swell navigates the complexities of family and domesticity, exploring the contending weight and levity felt in this thrillingly unfamiliar new chapter. Ferguson is a poet as alert to the absurd as to the shattering, and these are large-hearted poems, full of life and thought. Together, they invite the reader to join them in a search for self-acceptance, for freedom from shame, and for a path to stability in increasingly uncertain times.

The little grey Fergie is Britain s best-loved tractor, the light user-friendly machine that finally replaced the horse on farms. This highly illustrated account covers the full history of Harry Ferguson s tractor products from his pioneering work before the 1930s to the merger with Massey in 1957. The author has had access to fresh archive material and has interviewed many of the surviving men who were associated with Ferguson. The appeal of the Fergie lay in its lightness and utility, and also in the system of mechanized farming of which it was a part. Throughout the book, reference is made to the implements which lay at the heart of the system.

Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.It s not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand.When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more.He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail.From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they re street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped.This is her story.
