Sinopsis

In "What Books to Lend and What to Give," Charlotte M. Yonge presents a compelling exploration of the moral and intellectual responsibilities associated with lending and gifting literature. This insightful guide intertwines thoughtful recommendations with an ethical framework, emphasizing the transformative power of books in shaping character and fostering intellectual growth. Employing her characteristic eloquence, Yonge offers detailed discussions on a curated selection of titles, couched within a Victorian literary context that values didacticism, morality, and the nurturing of the mind through reading. The book thus serves as both a practical toolkit for readers and a reflection on the social implications of literary exchange. Charlotte M. Yonge, a prominent figure in 19th-century literature, is notable for her contributions to the growth of the Christian domestic novel. With her deep-rooted belief in education and moral fortitude, Yonge's background as an educator and her commitment to social issues heavily influenced her literary endeavors. Her extensive experience in addressing moral dilemmas and promoting virtuous living positions her as an insightful guide in the realm of literature, particularly in discussing the impact of book lending and gifting on personal and societal development. This book is highly recommended for educators, parents, and avid readers seeking to understand the deeper implications of their literary choices. Yonge's work transcends simple reading lists; it invites reflection on how our choices in literature can serve as vehicles for personal growth and moral edification. Engage with Yonge's passionate advocacy of reading as a means of enrichment and enlightenment.

    Between King Cotton and Queen...

    Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada. That network, to which he was personally introduced in Montreal in the fall of 1864, was hosted and facilitated by willing colonials across the hemisphere. Many of its Confederate members arrived in British North America via a long-established transportation and communications network built around British colonies, especially Bermuda and the Bahamas, whose primary purpose was running the blockade. It is difficult to overstate how essential blockade running was for the rebellion's survival, and it would have been impossible without the aid of sympathetic colonials. The operations of this informal, semiprivate network were of enormous consequence for the course of the war and its aftermath, and our understanding of the Civil War is incomplete without a deeper reckoning with the power and potential for chaos of these private networks imbued with the power of a state.

    The author of Battle for Paris 1815 examines the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard.   From its origins as the Consular Guard of the French Republic, and as Napoleon’s personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard developed into a force of all arms numbering almost 100,000 men. Used by Napoleon as his principal tactical reserve, the Guard was engaged only sparingly, being deployed at the crucial moment of battle to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Emperor of the French.   Naturally, the Imperial Guard has been the subject of numerous books over many decades, yet there has never been a publication that has investigated the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of the Imperial Guard with such detail and precision. The author has collected copies of almost all the surviving documents relating to the Guard, which includes a vast amount of material regarding the issuing of dress items, in some instances down to company level.   This information is supported by an unrivaled collection of illustrations, many of which have never been published before, as well as images of original items of equipment held in museums and private collections across the globe. In addition, the renowned military artist, Keith Rocco, has produced a series of unique paintings commissioned exclusively for this book.   This glorious book is, and will remain, unsurpassed as the standard work on the clothing and equipment of the Imperial Guard, and will not only be invaluable to historians, but also reenactors, wargamers and modelers. It is one of the most important publications ever produced on this most famous of military formations.

    Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock, and Lucy Bronze, there were the trailblazers who defied the odds. 
    In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football, but these rebels refused to quit. Leaving behind jobs, families, and their homeland, they sought opportunities abroad, where they could fulfil their footballing potential. 
    This book uncovers the untold stories of those pioneering women who paved the way for today’s stars. The original Lioness who started a new life in the Netherlands as a teenager, the first woman of colour to play for England, the girl who gave up the chance of international recognition to play in Italy – through their reflections, we explore their extraordinary journeys, the evolution of women’s football, and the dreams they still hold for the future.
