Atkinson Grimshaw's early landscapes were influenced by the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's ideals of painstaking detail but he later developed a distinctive kind of industrial landscape lit by moonlight gaslight or both. These urban scenes were very popular with the public particulary in the north of England where he did so much of his work but less so with the offical art world. In this comprehensive study of the artist Robertson shows the full scope of Grimshaw's work
- from the early paintings of the Lake District & Yorkshire landscapes to the townscapes dockscenes coastal views & richly colourful portrayals of sophisticated Victorian ladies.

The Atlantic & its Enemies" is Norman Stone's personal uncompromising & provocative history of how the West 'won' the Cold War. For decades after the end of the Second World War most of the globe either laboured under Communist rule or else was lost in a violent stagnancy that seemed doomed to permanence. For every Atlantic success there seemed to be a dozen Communist or Third World successes as the USSR & its proxies whether in Berlin Cuba Vietnam or China crushed dissent & humiliated the United States on both military & cultural grounds. Then suddenly the Atlantic won
- economically ideologically militarily
- with astonishing speed & comprehensiveness. With wit & brio Norman Stone's " The Atlantic & its Enemies" offers a unique perspective on events from Vietnam to glasnost & draws on his own experiences
- such as his time in a Slovak prison
- to show both the tragedy & the absurdity of the struggle that divided the world for over forty years. " Opinionated mischievous enthralling...an exhilarating read". (Boyd Tonkin " Independent"). " Lively idiosyncratic rollicking". (Geoffrey Wheatcroft " Observer"). " Masterly...the one book that anyone who wants to understand the Cold War must read". (John Gray " New Statesman"). "A swashbuckling survey of the cold war". (Mark Mazower " Financial Times"). "[ Stone] has a terrific eye for detail bringing to life everything from the ruins of Germany to Ronald Reagan's White House with a wonderfully waspish turn of phrase". (" Economist"). Norman Stone is one of Britain's most celebrated historians. He is the author of " The Eastern Front 1914-1917" " Hitler: An Introduction" " Europe Transformed" & " World War One: A Short History"."
