Sinopse

In "Cremorne and the Later London Gardens," Warwick William Wroth provides a meticulously detailed exploration of the evolution of public gardens in London during the 19th century. Employing a rich tapestry of descriptive prose and historical analysis, Wroth captures the essence of gardens as vital social spaces, reflecting both the aesthetic tastes and the shifting cultural dynamics of Victorian society. The book delves into the flamboyant and often controversial Cremorne Gardens, situating them within a broader context of urban leisure and public enjoyment, illustrating how these gardens served as both a refuge from the industrial sprawl and a stage for the performance of societal norms. Warwick William Wroth, a noted antiquarian and historian, dedicated much of his scholarly life to examining the interplay of culture and environment in urban landscapes. His extensive background in both history and botany informs his acute observations of the role gardens played in the collective consciousness of London. Wroth's passion for the subject is evident in his thorough research and nuanced insights, making this work a seminal contribution to the field of garden history and urban studies. Readers seeking to deepen their understanding of Victorian culture and its physical manifestations should not miss this enlightening study. "Cremorne and the Later London Gardens" is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of horticulture, social history, and the artistry of public spaces, illuminating how the gardens of London shaped, and were shaped by, their vibrant urban context.

    How Nations Escape Poverty -...

    During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Rainer Zitelmann identifies the reasons behind the sensational growth of both nations' economies, drawing out the lessons that other countries can learn from these two success stories. To explain the source of their success, he returns to Adam Smith's 1776 treatise, The Wealth of Nations: the only way to overcome poverty is through economic growth, and economic freedom is the crucial prerequisite for such growth. Developments over the past 250 years have proved Smith right. 
     
     
     
    Despite these strides, almost ten percent of the world's population still lives in extreme poverty. So, what measures actually help to alleviate poverty today? Through a wealth of data and stories from the everyday lives of Polish and Vietnamese people who experienced reforms, Zitelmann demonstrates the persistent relevance of Smith's ideas to economic flourishing in the twenty-first century.

    The Roman Empire is coming apart at the seams, relying on German recruits and foederati to hold the empire together. The eastern and western empires are ruled by incompetent young men who allow their German warlords to rule for them, but imperial elites conspire against the generals. Yul the Younger is a Saxon boy negotiating life in the empire with strong ties to his family in Germania. His father, Yul the Elder, sends Yul to a monastery school to learn the ways of the empire, with the father serving the empire as a quaestor (treasurer) in the east of Britannia. Yul the elder’s job is to make certain that the mostly German troopers of the Saxon Shore are fed, equipped, and paid, but Romano-British landlords are withholding taxes while enslaving Germans and building lavish country houses. Life in the monastic school at Verulamium (Saint Albans) proves difficult for Yul the Younger with monks insisting he give up his Germanic gods for Christ. He is also harassed by the entitled sons of British elites. Yul dares to make his escape with his best friend, a Pict, named Keaffer. Both enlist in the Brave Companions stationed at Othona as self-declared Emperor Flavius Claudius Constantine opts to invade Gaul to capture the purple and stop the Germanic tribes from crossing the Rhine Frontier to settle in the dying empire. Tall, blond, and broad, Yul joins the invasion of Europa. He also finds love and seeks revenge for the wrongs committed by Britons against his family and companions.
