Sinopsis

The Bourbon dynasty is one of the most fascinating and enduring in European history. For over two centuries, the Bourbons ruled France, leaving an indelible mark on the country's culture, politics, and society. From the dashing Henri IV to the ill-fated Louis XVI, the Bourbon kings presided over a period of both glory and turmoil, shaping the course of French history.

This book tells the captivating story of the Bourbon dynasty, from its humble origins to its eventual fall. Meet the colorful characters who inhabited the royal court, from ambitious queens to scheming cardinals. Witness the rise and fall of empires, the clash of armies, and the birth of new ideas.

The Bourbons were a family of contradictions. They were both pious and libertine, both powerful and vulnerable. They were capable of great cruelty and great kindness. They were beloved by their subjects and despised by their enemies. Through it all, they remained steadfast in their belief in their divine right to rule.

The Bourbon dynasty came to an end in 1830, but its legacy continues to this day. The Bourbons left behind a rich cultural heritage that can still be seen in the palaces, gardens, and museums of France. They also left behind a political legacy that is still debated today. Were the Bourbons enlightened despots or tyrannical oppressors? Were they the saviors of France or its destroyers?

This book explores the many sides of the Bourbon dynasty, providing a deeper understanding of this fascinating chapter in French history. It is a story of ambition, intrigue, love, and betrayal that will captivate and inspire readers for generations to come.

Discover the Bourbon dynasty's lasting impact on France and Europe, and gain insights into the strengths and weaknesses of absolute monarchy. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in French history, European history, or the history of monarchy.

    Award-winning campaigner and founder of the global Craftivist Collective Sarah Corbett shows how to respond to injustice not with apathy or aggression, but with gentle, effective protest.

    While doing fieldwork on the remote Indonesian island of Flores, anthropologist Gregory Forth came across people talking about half-apelike, half-humanlike creatures that once lived in a cave on the slopes of a nearby volcano. Over the years he continued to record what locals had to say about these mystery hominoids while searching for ways to explain them as imaginary symbols of the wild or other cultural representations. 
     
     
     
    In Between Ape and Human, we follow Forth on the trail of this mystery hominoid, and the space they occupy in islanders' culture as both natural creatures and as supernatural beings. In a narrative filled with adventure, Lio culture and language, zoology and natural history, Forth comes to a startling and controversial conclusion. 
     
     
     
    Unique, important, and thought-provoking, this book will appeal to anyone interested in human evolution, the survival of species (including our own), and how humans might relate to 'not-quite-human' animals. A must-listen for all those interested in cryptozoology, it is the only firsthand investigation by a leading anthropologist into the possible survival of a primitive species of human into recent times—and its coexistence with modern humans.

    ""The war in Vietnam was not lost in the field, nor was it lost on the front pages of the New York Times or the college campuses. It was lost in Washington, D.C."" 
    —H. R. McMaster (from the Conclusion) 
    Dereliction Of Duty is a stunning analysis of how and why the United States became involved in an all-out and disastrous war in Southeast Asia. Fully and convincingly researched, based on transcripts and personal accounts of crucial meetings, confrontations and decisions, it is the only book that fully re-creates what happened and why. McMaster pinpoints the policies and decisions that got the United States into the morass and reveals who made these decisions and the motives behind them, disproving the published theories of other historians and excuses of the participants. 
    Dereliction Of Duty focuses on a fascinating cast of characters: President Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, General Maxwell Taylor, McGeorge Bundy and other top aides who deliberately deceived the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the U.S. Congress and the American public. 
    McMaster’s only book, Dereliction of Duty is an explosive and authoritative new look at the controversy concerning the United States involvement in Vietnam.
