Winston Churchill chamou-lhe "um brilho de esplendor na história sombria e conturbada da Inglaterra medieval", mas, para um medievalista moderno, foi, simplesmente, "o maior governante de Inglaterra".Dan Jones, um dos mais importantes historiadores medievais do nosso tempo, da vida de forma inesquecivel a ascenso surpreendente de Henrique V, que sobreviveu a uma rebelio, a um ferimento de flecha quase fatal e a um longo e precario aprendizado enquanto principe para se tornar o maior rei guerreiro da Inglaterra.Henrique V reinou somente nove anos e quatro meses e morreu com apenas 35 anos, mas paira sobre a paisagem do final da Idade Media e para la dela. Vencedor da Batalha de Agincourt, imortalizada por William Shakespeare, foi um rei modelo para os seus sucessores. Salvou um pais devastado da ruina economica, reprimiu rebelies e protegeu as fronteiras do reino, enquanto na diplomacia externa fez com que a Inglaterra se tornasse uma potencia novamente importante. Porem, as suas conquistas no norte da França seriam a genese para tres geraçes de calamidades no seu pais, sob a forma das Guerras das Rosas.Uma biografia emocionante e imperdivel, que oferece uma viso sem precedentes dos importantes primeiros vinte e seis anos da sua vida, da sua ascenso ao poder e das suas campanhas militares.Os elogios da critica:"Feroz, dinamico, politico, intimo e humano. Esta e a melhor biografia ate agora do maior rei de Inglaterra."Simon Sebag Montefiore, autor bestseller"Uma narrativa historica no seu melhor."The Telegraph"Uma biografia repleta de adrenalina."The Spectator"Um historiador que escreve de forma to viciante como qualquer romancista."The Observer "O rei da narrativa historica triunfa de novo. Uma aula magistral sobre como tornar a Idade Media viciante e facil de ler."Lucy Worsley, historiadora e escritora"Mais um livro de Dan Jones que eu gostaria de ter escrito. Um dos maiores reis de Inglaterra recebe a biografia que merece de um dos nossos maiores historiadores medievais."Dan Snow, historiador e apresentador de televiso"Uma das coisas boas do livro de Dan Jones e a atenço dada a Henrique V como ser humano, com interesses que vo alem de impor a obediencia em casa e conquistar territorios no exterior... Fruto de uma pesquisa exaustiva, e magistralmente narrado e absolutamente cativante."The Times Literary Supplement

In twelve chapters - corresponding to the themes of the signs of the zodiac - the author presents us with twelve different perspectives from which the topic of astrology at the time of the Reformation presents itself. It is the time of insane forecasts of the deluge, the time of huge political and religious upheavals. The Peasant Wars are the beginning of the end of feudal rule. With the Reformation, Christianity experienced what is probably the most severe upheaval since its founding. Book printing and the founding of universities stand for the end of the "Dark Middle Ages", for a time when education and intellect will regain their rights - although at the same time the darkest superstition is spreading, although an inquisition begins its mass murders.A highly recommended read for all friends of astrology![Review of the German edition of Dr. Rudiger Plantiko]

Between 1874 and 1958, European countries systematically displayed people from colonized territories in so-called "human zoos" and ethnological exhibitions. Over 25,000 people were exhibited before more than 1.5 billion visitors many died under abysmal conditions. This essay illuminates a largely forgotten chapter of European history and its reckoning today.

Searing heat, political turmoil, revolution in popular culture: relive the scorching year of 1976 in all its glory.On the political scene, Harold Wilson abruptly resigned as prime minister; Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe resigned in advance of his arrest and sensational Old Bailey trial for conspiracy and incitement to murder; and the Tories elected Milk Snatcher Margaret Thatcher as their party leader. The IRAs long-running demands for the reunification of Ireland exploded into a campaign of wholesale terrorism on the British mainland.Meanwhile, the Black Panther was finally arrested and brought to justice, and the curious case of John Stonehouse, the UKs last Postmaster General, came to its climax.Throw in the fact that Southampton defied 500:1 odds to win the FA Cup, and the irresistible rise of punk rock, triggered by the iconic moment when the Sex Pistols were let loose on an unsuspecting teatime-television audience, and 1976 proves itself a truly pendulum year that divides the old from the new - recaptured here in fully living, human detail.Inside 1976:Season-by-season account of the events of this bumper year Stories from across the UK, USA, Europe and the Soviet UnionPolitical rivalries in a Cold War era, including the early rise of Margaret Thatcher and the demise of Harold Wilson Celebrities of the era, including David Bowie, Sid James and the Sex Pistols, ABBA and the Bee Gees Massive breakthroughs in criminal justice, such as the arrest of the Black Panther, and the conclusion of the case of postmaster general John StonehouseLeaving no stone unturned and no story untold, *1976* is a book of pure nostalgia for those who lived through it, and an eyeopening experience for those who didnt: a page turner right to the end.

The Battle of George Square, a riot during the Forty Hours Strike in Glasgow, on 31 January 1919, is routinely claimed to be one of the most iconic events in Scottish working-class history. It is also the most mythologised. For a century, the narrative created for the defence of the strike leaders charged with incitement to riot an unprovoked attack on a peaceful crowd as an act of oppression has been repeated uncritically by academic and popular writers. Mythology has almost completely replaced reality, most notably in the Scottish education system, where educational materials have been described by two prominent historians as, arrant propaganda and a perversion of history. Now, Gordon Barclay and Louise Heren have undertaken a meticulous examination of the contemporary evidence to tell a more complex story. In doing so they examine the ways writers have failed to subject the celebratory mythology of this iconic event to adequate scrutiny. They document the creation of the mythology, from the writings of the strike leaders to those who use the mythology of the Battle to promote their own politics. They also examine the legal basis and reality of the military deployment to Glasgow in the aftermath of the riot.
