Beschreibung

Charles Downer Hazen's "The Long Nineteenth Century" presents a sweeping narrative that intricately investigates the socio-political transformations and cultural currents from the late 18th century to the dawn of the 20th century. Employing a rich literary style characterized by analytical depth and contextual sensitivity, Hazen deftly delves into the complexities of historical events that shaped modernity. The narrative engages with key themes such as industrialization, nationalism, and the evolution of ideologies, situating these developments within a broader global context. Hazen's comprehensive scholarship not only contextualizes the era's pivotal moments but also reflects the multidimensionality of historical figures and their roles in shaping contemporary society. Charles Downer Hazen, an eminent historian and a professor at Columbia University, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous political landscape of his time. His academic background, steeped in both history and literature, provided him with a unique lens through which to view the transformation of society during this period. Hazen's work embodies a dedication to understanding the interplay between historical forces and human experience, aligning with his belief that history is essential to comprehending current affairs. This remarkable book is a compelling recommendation for both historians and lay readers interested in the profound changes that defined the 19th century. Hazen's engaging prose and methodical approach to historical analysis make it accessible while retaining the scholarly rigor necessary for comprehensive understanding. "The Long Nineteenth Century" will enlighten readers about the foundational elements of our modern world and the historical threads that connect us to our past.

    A population calamity is unfolding before our eyes. It started in parts of the developed world and is spreading to the four corners of the globe. There are just too few babies being born for humanity to replace itself.
    Leading demographer Paul Morland argues that the consequences of this promise to be calamitous. Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster.

    In the history of Australian diplomacy, the Jakarta post between 2004 and 2007 looms larger than any other. 
     
     In the span of just a few years, a terrorist bomb attack partially destroyed the Embassy compound, killing eleven; the Boxing Day tsunami wreaked havoc on an almost incomprehensible scale; a bombing in Bali killed twenty, including four Australians; Schapelle Corby divided public opinion; members of the Bali Nine were executed; and a Garuda flight crashed and exploded in Yogyakarta, killing twenty, including members of the Australian diplomatic corps. 
     
    Not only did Grant Dooley bear witness to these events, but he was also a first responder in the Embassy bombing and plane crash. And when he wasn't dealing with emergencies and constant terror threats, he had to delicately manage the nation's political leaders, from Alexander Downer to John Howard to Bronwyn Bishop. Somehow, Grant and his wife, Kristan, who worked on the consular staff, kept it all together for themselves and their young family. Or did they? 
     
    Bomb Season in Jakarta is an incredible up close and personal account of an unparalleled period in Australian diplomacy.

    This collection explores how seafarers, steppe warriors, and rising dynasties carved out vast territories and left lasting legacies across continents. 
    Begin with The Viking Age, a period of daring maritime expeditions, raids, and settlements that extended from Scandinavia to the British Isles, France, and even North America. The Vikings were not only fierce warriors but also skilled navigators and traders, spreading influence from Iceland to Byzantium. 
    Next, follow The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, which emerged in the late medieval period as a powerful force that bridged Europe and Asia. From humble beginnings in Anatolia, the Ottomans grew into an imperial power that would eventually reshape the political and religious map of the region. 
    Conclude with The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols connected East and West through military conquest and an unparalleled trade network that facilitated the movement of goods, technologies, and ideas across Eurasia. 
    Together, these three explorations of expansion demonstrate the far-reaching ambitions and transformative power of medieval societies that shaped the world far beyond their borders.

    The gripping story of a group of female adventurers and their treacherous pioneering ascent of Denali in 1970 
      
    Cassidy Randall draws on extensive archival research and original interviews to tell an engrossing, edge-of-the-seat adventure story about a forgotten group of climbers who had the audacity to believe that women could walk alone in extraordinary and treacherous heights. 
      
    Grace Hoeman dreamed of standing on top of Denali. The tallest peak in North America, the fierce polar mountain loomed large in many climbers’ imaginations, and Grace, a doctor in Alaska, had come close to the top, only to be turned back by altitude sickness and a storm that took the lives of seven fellow climbers in one remorseless blow. 
      
    Other expeditions denied her a place because of her gender, and when a letter arrived from a climber in California named Arlene Blum, who’d also been barred from expeditions—unless she stayed in base camp and cooked for the men, Grace got a defiant idea: she would organize and lead the first-ever all-female ascent of the frozen Alaskan peak. 
      
    Everyone told the “Denali Damsels,” as the team called themselves, that it couldn’t be done: Women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. Men had walked on the moon; women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited by sexists and misogynists. They pushed past barriers in society at large, the climbing world, and their own bodies. 
      
    And then, when disaster struck at the worst time on their expedition, they could either keep their wits and prove their mettle, or die and confirm the worst opinions of men. 
      
    “Thirty Below is fast paced, with incredible characters who make you appreciate how far mountaineering (and society in general) has progressed in the last fifty years and exciting all the way to the end. This is a gripping story that's worth telling, and Randall has done a great job in bringing it to life.”—Alex Honnold, professional climber and author of Alone on the Wall
