Beschreibung

In "The Normans in England (1066-1154)", a collective of esteemed historians delves into the transformative impact of Norman rule on English society following the pivotal events of the 1066 conquest. This meticulously researched volume not only chronicles the political upheaval and land redistribution that characterized the period but also employs a narrative style akin to that of medieval chronicles, giving voice to the lived experiences of various social strata. The work paints a vivid picture of the blend of cultures as the Normans imposed their governance, architecture, and feudal systems upon the English landscape, thereby reshaping the identity of the nation. The contributors to this compilation are well-established scholars of medieval history, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and unique perspectives that inform this critical examination of the Norman influence. Their scholarly rigor is grounded in extensive research, drawing upon primary sources, archaeological findings, and previous historiographical debates. This collective endeavor reflects a deep engagement with the complexities of the era, as the authors seek to illuminate the often-overlooked nuances of Norman administration and its ramifications for future generations. For anyone intrigued by the evolution of England's cultural and political heritage, this book serves as an essential resource. Its accessible prose and in-depth analysis cater to both novices and seasoned historians, making it an invaluable addition to any historical library. Readers will gain profound insights into how the Norman presence shaped medieval England, paving the way for subsequent developments in British history.

    Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous.
    It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics and many did not only make friends with their sometimes revolutionary thoughts.
    In this guide, I would like to give you a first insight into the great subject of philosophy and also bring it closer to you in a practical way. After an explanation of what philosophy is exactly and what it deals with concretely, I would like to introduce you not only some important philosophical currents and wisdoms of the philosophers, but also give you some exercises and tips on the way so that you can easily integrate philosophy into your life.

    The publication of Power vs. Force by Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., reveals to the general public secret information heretofore only shared by the author with certain Nobelists and world leaders. 
    Analyzing the basic nature of human thought and consciousness itself, the author makes available to everyone the key to penetrating the last barrier to the advancement of civilization and science and resolving the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. 
    All human endeavors have the common goal of understanding or influencing human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive and analytical disciplines: morality, philosophy, psychology, and so on. Regardless of what branch of inquiry one starts from (philosophy, political theory, theology) all avenues of investigation eventually converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature of pure consciousness. 
    To explain that which is simple can be difficult indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple obvious. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself.

    Six speeches about freedom and revolution from the American, French and Irish revolutions.The first two speeches are from the American Revolutionary war (1775-1783). Patrick Henry’s “Give me Liberty or give me death” is recognized even today, two centuries since Henry spoke at the Second Virginia Convention to an audience including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. The speech is credited with providing troops from Virginia for the revolutionary war.In the Newburgh Address, Washington and implores his army to put their faith in him. A mutiny was proposed because Congress has not paid them as promised. Washington needed to make clear to his generals that there was no option to surrender or turn away to unsettled lands, and that he was with them and on their side in the thick of both war and politics.Next is William Wilberforce’s Abolition Speech to the British parliament in 1789, the apex of a campaign that led to slavery being outlawed across the British Empire.Speeches from the French revolution then follow. First, there is the reaction from the aristocracy in England; a valediction from Edmund Burke, an MP in the British Parliament, on the beauty of Marie Antoinette and his sadness at her passing.Four speeches follow by Maximilien de Robespierre, a foundational member of the French Revolution, who laid down the political philosophy of liberty and the moral law over divinity and customary law. The speeches are filled with a passion for direct democracy and the rule of the people, not the elites.The volume ends with a more measured, but no less impassioned, address by the Irish lawyer and statesman John Curran. It was given in Curran’s defence of Archibald Rowan, who was sentenced to transportation to Australia for his treasonous activities fighting for Irish independence. While unsuccessful, this rallying cry for genuine self-determination and free speech captures the heart of the conflicts that defined the era.

    The true story of an airman's audacious escape from occupied France in World War Two. 
     
     
     
    Perfect for fans of The Great Escape, The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram, and The Wooden Horse. 
     
     
     
    Sir Basil Embry's Blenheim bomber was shot down in the summer of 1940. 
     
     
     
    During the course of his time in enemy territory he broke out from a column of prisoners while having a Nazi machine gun aimed at him, fought against his captors with stolen weapons, hid in stinking manure, and even posed as a member of the Irish Republican Army in order to throw his captors off the scent of his true identity. 
     
     
     
    In total he was captured three times and three times he refused to submit. Only through sheer courage and wit did he make his way back to Britain to fight and fly again. This is his remarkable story. 
     
     
     
    Anthony Richardson served as Adjutant in the same squadron as Embry later in the war and was told about these astounding exploits first-hand. This book will undoubtedly amaze all interested in moments of amazing fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds.
