In the St. Giles rookery of London, a massive 22-foot-tall fermentation vat at the Meux & Co. Brewery burst. The explosion unleashed 320,000 gallons of porter, creating a 15-foot tsunami of beer that smashed through brewery walls and destroyed the surrounding tenements.Author William Carter details the forensic aftermath of the disaster, which killed eight peoplemostly women and children in basements. The book explores the lack of regulation, the poverty of the Irish immigrants who lived in the flood path, and the court ruling that dismissed the event as an "Act of God.""The Amber Flood" is a grim reminder of the costs of industrialization. It moves beyond the humorous headline to reveal a story of negligence, class inequality, and the deadly power of fluid dynamics in a crowded city.

Hemos complicado excesivamente el estudio del pasado dando mayor importancia a opiniones e intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, relegando los hechos históricos a un segundo plano y subordinandolos a los intereses del sistema que pretende educarnos. Es hora de simplificar y respetar a nuestros antepasados esforzandonos por conocer lo que realmente sucedio en el pasado, no solo lo que el sistema quiere informarnos. Despues de muchos años estudiando historia, he llegado a la conclusion de que la mejor manera de conocer el pasado es a traves de una cronologia imparcial y objetiva que coloque cada acontecimiento en su lugar exacto en el tiempo y revele la historia sin manipulaciones ni medias verdades. Esta cronologia es la obra de referencia mas completa, transcurre año tras año, en la medida de lo posible, desde la prehistoria hasta el presente. Para aquellos que prefieran un estudio mas detallado, he creado una segunda cronologia, que abarca dia a dia desde 1789 hasta 1946, dividida en cuatro colecciones.

Here you will find most of the uniforms used during the Napoleonic Wars, between 1789 to1815. My goal was to gather a catalog that can serve as reference material for illustrators, writers, historians or for all those who, like me, are simply interested in World History.

In The Age of Louis XIV, Voltaire reconstructs the Sun Kings century while privileging the forces that shape civilization: arts, sciences, commerce, and manners. Versailles, Racine and Moliere, Lully and Le Notre, Vauban and Colbert stand beside wars and diplomacy, the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and Europes shifting balance. Composed in lucid, classically proportioned prose with a dry, corrective irony, the book helped shift historiography from court chronicles to the history of culture and opinion, an Enlightenment landmark. A cosmopolitan philosophe, Voltaire drew on English exile, Newtonian science, Lockean psychology, and continental court patronage to forge a critical method. He compared testimonies, consulted archives, and traced causal patterns beyond intrigue, integrating finance, religious policy, and artistic production. The book forms part of his broader universal history, where admiration for grandeur is tempered by censure of persecution, fiscal strain, and militarized glory. Essential for readers of cultural history, political thought, and early modern art, this study pairs narrative grace with analytic reach. As a gateway to the Grand Siecle and a manifesto for humane historiography, it remains a bracing guide to how power and culture make an age.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

In History of King Charles the Second of England, Jacob Abbott traces the Restoration monarch from civil-war exile to the hazards of rule after 1660plague, fire, and AngloDutch warswhile charting the courts pleasures and intrigues. His brisk, moralizing narrative clarifies religious and constitutional tensions, from the Clarendon Code to the Test Act and Popish Plot. Written within the nineteenthcentury Makers of History tradition, the book privileges character, motive, and causeandeffect over archival minutiae, yielding a lucid, scenedriven synthesis. Abbott, a nineteenthcentury American educator, minister, and prolific author of the Rollo tales and Makers of History, wrote for moral and pedagogical ends. Classroom practice shaped his clear, incremental explanations; wide reading in accessible chronicles supplied texture. In Charles II he found a case study in prudence, statecraft, spectacle, and the costs of private vice. Readers seeking a concise, engaging primer on the Restoration will profit from this volumes clarity and narrative momentum. It suits students and general readers alike, and usefully complements modern scholarship by framing events in moral and political terms without losing sight of personalities, contingency, and consequence.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

In The History of the Austrian Empire, John S. C. Abbott recounts the Habsburg saga from medieval ascendancy to the nineteenth century, balancing court portraiture with campaigns against Ottomans, Reformation turmoil, the reforms of Maria Theresa and Joseph II, the Napoleonic crisis, Metternichs system, and 1848. In lucid, anecdotal, moralizing prose typical of mid-Victorian popular history, he forges a coherent chronology from chronicles, memoirs, and English-language compendia, highlighting dynastic continuity amid confessional and national fracture. Abbott, a Congregational minister turned prolific historian, brought pulpit-honed didacticism and New England providentialism to his histories. Known for engaging lives of Napoleon and surveys of the French Revolution and Prussia, he preferred character-driven synthesis to archival innovation, assembling translated state papers and standard continental narratives for a broad Anglo-American readership of families and schools. Readers seeking a vivid, serviceable panorama of Habsburg statecraft and society will find this volume rewarding. As a nineteenth-century artifact it complements modern scholarship, offering narrative momentum and period judgments that illuminate how the empire was understood by contemporaries. Ideal for students, generalists, and historical novelists alike.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

In The Rise and Fall of Austria or the Habsburg Empire, John S. C. Abbott charts the Habsburgs climb from Alpine duchy to multinational power and their long crisis. From Maximilians marriage politics and Charles Vs confessional struggles through the Thirty Years War, the reforms of Maria Theresa and Joseph II, Napoleons shocks, and 1848, he forges a clear arc of ascent, consolidation, and strain. The prose is brisk and anecdotal, with vivid court scenes, battle sketches, and moral asidestypical of midVictorian narrative historydrawn from chronicles, memoirs, and diplomatic digests in translation. Abbott (18051877), a Congregationalist minister turned popular historian, wrote to edify as well as inform. His Makers of History series and lives of Napoleon and the Bourbons honed his focus on the ethics of rule and legitimacy, and, amid debates about sovereignty, he treats Habsburg governance as a moral experiment. Recommended to readers seeking a lucid, dramatic entry into Habsburg studies and to students of nineteenthcentury historiography. Though some judgments are dated, its narrative grip and portraits remain instructive. Use it as a gateway textideally paired with recent scholarshipto grasp the empires dynamics of dynasty, confession, and administration.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
