Synopsis

In "Historical Description of Westminster Abbey, Its Monuments and Curiosities," the author presents a comprehensive exploration of one of England's most iconic landmarks. The book delves into the Abbey's rich history, detailing its architectural evolution, significant monuments, and the various historical figures who have been commemorated within its hallowed walls. The author's meticulous prose is characterized by an engaging blend of descriptive detail and scholarly insight, making the volume a crucial resource for both historians and general readers alike. The work situates itself in the tradition of 19th-century English travel literature, where admiration for national heritage is interwoven with an instructional narrative. The identity of the author remains intentionally obscured, which perhaps reflects the communal spirit of historical scholarship. This anonymity allows the work to resonate universally, emphasizing the collective significance of Westminster Abbey to England's historical tapestry. The author's evident passion for the subject, coupled with a profound engagement with archival materials, positions this work as both an homage to the Abbey and a valuable scholarly contribution. This book stands as a compelling invitation to all intrigued by history, architecture, and cultural heritage. By exploring Westminster Abbey through this detailed lens, readers will not only gain insight into its past but also appreciate the role it continues to play in contemporary British identity. It is a must-read for those who wish to deepen their understanding of both the Abbey and the broader context of England's historical narrative.

    When bigotry and power-mania take control, disaster always follows for subjugated persons - even when the power is wielded by the Church.

Between 1450 and 1750, one hundred thousand people were accused, subject to the most bestial tortures and usually executed. Witches examines the wildfire-spread of witch hunting across Europe and America, revealing the disturbing and brutal realities of these witch hunts and their roots in misogyny and religious persecution. 
     
    It includes: 
    • Letters and trial testimonies from those charged with witchcraft, as well as some from self-proclaimed witches 
    • Biographic detail of key witch hunters, such as Matthew Hopkins (the so-called Witchfinder General) who was responsible for hundreds of executions 
    • Accounts of famous witch trials, from Chelmsford to Salam 
     
    Nigel Cawthorne doesn't shy away from the violent details of this persecution, exploring the events as they transpired, the contexts that triggered them and tracing it back to its source.

    Sparked by the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars became one of the largest European conflicts in history as Napoleon fought to expand his French Empire. The wars were instrumental in the formation of Europe as we know it today, and confirmed Britain's dominance as a seafaring nation. It was a period famous for strategic warfare and cunning battle tactics. From this background emerged Nelson as national hero and politician. The Napoleonic Wars in 100 Facts covers the twenty-five years of war from the 1790s to the final victory in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo. Jem Duducu guides us through some of the key figures and their stories, for example Wellington, Napoleon and Nelson, as well some of the major battles and tactics in this era of epic conflict that took British troops to Egypt, Argentina, America and of course a little town in Belgium called Waterloo.

    Commands, to be effective, must be short and to the point: the greatest command ever recorded is found in the few simple words, “And God said, ‘Let there be light.’”Experience a complete understanding of mystical teacher Neville Goddard’s method for using the true nature of your imaginative powers of creativity as he succinctly lays out his ideas in this, his first full-length book, written in 1939. It is idealist philosophy taken to its razor-edge, argued with Neville’s typically jewel-like precision. Neville, one of the most remarkable mystical thinkers of the past century, discloses his extraordinary and testable claim that your awakened imagination is God Itself. In more than ten books and thousands of lectures, Neville expanded on that one core prin¬ciple. “The only God,” he told audiences, “is your own wonderful human imagination.”A compelling presence at metaphysical churches, spiritual centers and auditoriums, Neville was not widely known during his lifetime, but today his books and lectures have attained new popularity as a new generation is discovering and testing Neville's core principle: imagining creates reality.This edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.
