The Rise & Fall Of The
British Empire By
Lawrence James,
History Book
£4.99
THE RISE & FALL OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE covers the history of British expansion overseas from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Narrative & analysis are interwoven with revealing eyewitness"ation to provide keen insight into the minds of those involved in conquering, settling & ruling the greatest Empire the world has seen. Throughout, there are consistant themes; the search for profit & the moral misgivings it generated; domestic developments which made imperial expansion desirable; & the sense of national & personal destiny felt by the empire-builders. Spanning four centuries & six continents, James' magnificent survey examines the imperial experience & its legacy with tremendous verve. Informed, comprehensive & perceptive, it is the essential summary of the era. ' James' epic is not only a first-rate narrative, but also a penetrating portrait of the British... Having largely, if often inadvertently, selfishly or ham-fistedly, engineered the world we live in, we need the courage now to face up to our record as coolly & intelligently as Lawrence James has done'
- John Spurling, TLS. This book has 714 pages & is 19.7cm x 12.8cm x 4.7cm

The Rise And Fall Of
Thomas Cromwell
£7.00
Thomas Cromwell rose from very humble beginnings to become Henry Viiis chief minister, his right-hand man during the English Reformation.

He wielded enormous power while he retained the kings favour, but the failure of Henrys marriage to Anne of Cleves, which Cromwell had arranged, led to his swift downfall & execution.

John Schofields biography reveals that the popular image of him as a blood-stained henchman is largely fictional. Detailed research into contemporary sources illuminates his brilliant mind & his love for & patronage of the arts & humanities, while short case studies shed new light on his relations with, & his reputation among, Henry Viiis subjects.

The final part narrates the drama of his downfall, & the kings posthumous exoneration of the most faithful servant he ever had.

Fish is fantastic food. For taste & for health it' pretty much unbeatable. But we can't just take it for granted. It's a precious resource that needs to be consumed thoughtfully. We reckon it helps to know as much as possible about a fish before you buy it

Product Description

In the late Iron Age, Rome was a small collection of huts arranged over a few hills.

By the third century BC, it had become a large & powerful city, with monumental temples, public buildings & grand houses. It had conquered the whole of Italy & was poised to establish an empire. But how did it accomplish this historic transformation?

This book explores the development of Rome during this period, & the nature of its control over Italy, considering why & how the Romans achieved this spectacular dominance.

For Rome was only one of a number of emerging centres of power during this period. From its complex forms of government, to its innovative connections with other states, Kathryn Lomas shows what set Rome apart.

Examining the context & impact of the citys dominance, as well as the key political, social & economic changes it engendered, this is crucial reading for anyone interested in Ancient Rome.
