An engaging range of period texts & theme books for AS & A Level history. The years between the rise of William Pitt in the early 1780s & the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846 saw Britain struggle with political & social tensions caused by the economic changes that began in the mid-eighteenth century.

For more than 40 years after the Second World War the Iron Curtain divided Europe physically with 300 km of walls & barbed wire fences; ideologically between communism & capitalism; psychologically between people imprisoned under totalitarian dictatorships & their neighbours enjoying democratic freedoms; & militarily by two mighty distrustful power blocs still fighting the cold war. At the start of 1989 ten European nations were still Soviet vassal states. By the end of the year one after another they had thrown off communism declared national independence & embarked on the road to democracy. One of historys most brutal empires was on its knees. Poets who had been languishing in jails became vice presidents. When the Berlin Wall fell on a chilly November night it seemed as though the open wounds of the cruel twentieth century would at last begin to heal. The Year of Revolutions appeared as a beacon of hope for oppressed people elsewhere who dared to dream that they too could free themselves. In a dizzying few months of almost entirely peaceful revolutions the peoples will triumphed over tyranny. An entire way of life was swept away. Now twenty years on Victor Sebestyen reassesses this decisive moment in modern history. ...

As world attention focuses on the economic development & massive cultural upheavals of China all of which are embodied in the transformation of Beijing prior to the 2008 Olympics Chinese artists have emerged after years of containment by the strictures of the national ideology. The Western art world hungry for new spectacle has consumed the new art with an appetite but the art is changing so fast the Western viewer has little means of assessing or understanding the background to these extraordinary developments. The Revolution Continues" provides a link between the rebellious spirit of the current generation of Chinese artists & the mood of rebellion that was so explicitly evident during the years of the Cultural Revolution that ran from 1966 to the death of Mao & the fall of the Gang of Four in 1976. In his text Jiang Jiehong argues that the widespread destruction of traditional Chinese treasures by the Red Guards especially in the early period of 1966 overshadows the entire period. Todays rebellious artistic spirit is in fact an extension of Maos legacy. The extensive Saatchi collection of new Chinese art is presented in conjunction with Joshua Jiangs examination of the use of the colour red the iconography of Mao the sense of the collective & the use of textual language that derives from the calligraphy of the propaganda poster. This dramatic material will be published to coincide with one of the opening exhibitions at the new Saatchi Gallery." ...
