Günter Kaufmann - HJ. Das kommende Deutschland (19 40).jpg

All History1 - Gnter Kaufmann - HJ. Das kommende Deutschland 1940.jpg

"Гитлерюгенд" (Hitlerjugend - "Гитлеровская молодежь"), молодежная нацистская организация военизированного типа, главный кадровый резерв НСДАП. Была создана декретом от 1 декабря 1936. Во главе ее был поставлен рейхсюгендфюрер Бальдур фон Ширах, подчинявшийся непосредственно Гитлеру. Закон 1936 года констатировал, что немецкая молодежь должна воспитываться "в физическом, духовном и моральном отношении в духе национал-социализма, служения народу и национальному сообществу". Все существовавшие ранее в Германии молодежные клубы и союзы вошли в состав "Гитлерюгенд", который охватывал около 60% немецкой молодежи. 25 марта 1938 вышло распоряжение, регулирующее структуру "Гитлерюгенд".
Книга описывает зонирование и структуру организации, вопросы физического и политического воспитания молодежи, знаки различия и звания членов Гитлерюгенда. Материал предоставлен не с целью пропаганды нацизма, но для исследования истории Третьего рейха.

Classic Soldiers - Stuart Reid - Highlander, Fearl ess Celtic Warriors (2002).JPG

This series was created by Military Illustrated magazine, the leading monthly military history publication in the English language. It has built an unrivaled reputation for authoritative articles, primary research, rare photographs, and specially commissioned artwork.

The Scots Highlander was famous for his fearless charges into the face of the enemy and renowned for his bravery, loyalty, and sheer fighting skills. The remarkable story of the Highlanders is fully explored, beginning with their Celtic inheritance, their battles for independence against the English, and their involvement in the Jacobite rebellion

Highlanders today are an important element in the fighting forces of the United Kingdom and have fought around the world for their country from the Napoleonic wars to the most recent conflicts. First-hand accounts bring their courage and fighting skills vividly to life.

Bill Freund - African City, A History (2007).jpg

This unique book is comprehensive both in terms of time coverage, from before the Pharaohs to the present moment and in that it tries to consider cities from the entire continent, not just Sub-Saharan Africa. Apart from factual information and rich description material culled from many sources, it looks at many issues from why urban life emerged in the first place to how present-day African cities cope in difficult times. Instead of seeing towns and cities as somehow extraneous to the real Africa, it views them as an inherent part of developing Africa, indigenous, colonial, and post-colonial and emphasizes the extent to which the future of African society and African culture will likely be played out mostly in cities. The book is written to appeal to students of history but equally to geographers, planners, sociologists and development specialists interested in urban problems.

Norman Etherington - Missions and Empire (2005).jpg

The widespread idea that Christian missions went hand in hand with Imperialism and colonial conquest is challenged here by a group of eminent historians. By showing the variety of missions and the vital role played by indigenous men and women, they place missions in a long historical perspective. Special attention is paid to emerging themes such as the missionary role in anthropology, gender relations, language, medicine, and decolonization.

Oscar Halecki - Borderlands Of Western Civilizatio n, A History of East Central Europe (1980).jpg

Most books on European history concentrate on the peoples of Western Europe. By focusing on the central part of Europe, Polish history professor Halecki's work is unique. Examining the political histories of the many nations from Finland to Serbia over the years enables the reader to understand the background and grasp the implications of contemporary events.

D. N. PaniGrahi - India's Partition, The Story of Imperialism in Retreat (2004).jpg

Based on new source material available in both England and India, India's Partition examines the partition in the context of the retreat of the British Empire. The freeing of India from British rule was the result of internal forces in both countries, while the split of the subcontinent along religious lines served as a harbinger for things to come. D.N. Panigrahi argues that partition was not a foregone conclusion and was not the favored option for most of the main parties, but rather was the result of a unique set of circumstances. An erudite exploration of the highly complex relations between India and Britain leading up to independence and the split, India's Partition looks at the leaders who made far-reaching decisions - and their motivations - during this critical time.

Hsain Ilahiane - Historical Dictionary Berbers (20 06).jpg

Berbers are the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, but rarely have they formed an actual kingdom or separate nation state. Ranging anywhere between 15-50 million, depending on how they are classified, the Berbers have influenced the culture and religion of Roman North Africa and played key roles in the spread of Islam and its culture in North Africa, Spain, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Taken together, these dynamics have over time converted to redefine the field of Berber identity and its socio-political representations and symbols, making it an even more important issue in the new century.

Through the use of maps, a list of acronyms, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, appendixes, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy and politics—past and present—the Historical Dictionary of the Berbers (Imazighen) provides necessary information on this under-studied group of people

Knut Helle - The Cambridge History of Scandinavia, Volume 1, Prehistory to 1520 (2003).jpeg

The various countries and communities that constitute present-day Scandinavia consider themselves as integral parts of that larger region. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and Greenland share a common geographic, historic and socio-cultural distinctness that differs from the rest of Europe. This "distinctness" provides the rationale for compiling a comprehensive and comparative history of Scandinavia. The first volume in the series will be followed by two others.

Carl Cavanagh Hodge - Encyclopedia of the Age of I mperialism, 1800-1914 (2008).jpg

Intended to be a “jargon-free reference companion for students,” this alphabetically arranged encyclopedia takes as its focus the great European powers in their rise and decline, culminating with the events leading to the First World War. The introduction begins with the Napoleonic legacy, describing the French Empire at its peak and the pattern it set for other nations with imperial aspirations. The Pax Britannica and the scramble for overseas empire that began in the 1870s are treated, as is the brewing trouble in the Austro-Hungarian Empire that gave birth to World War I. Examining both the historical and ideological landscape of Western Europe and its colonies from 1800 to 1914, entries focus on philosophies, people, and events of significance. Written by more than 60 contributors, most with university affiliations, the articles range in length from half a page to up to seven pages. Recommendations for further reading are included at the end of each. Each volume begins with a list of entries, a list of primary source documents, a guide to related topics, and a set of pertinent maps. Volume 1 contains a detailed chronology, and volume 2 a detailed, precise index. Primary source documents are provided in full in volume 2, following the main entries. The lack of illustrative material beyond the map section is unfortunate, as is the somewhat spotty copyediting, which has Antonín Dvorák working in the U.S. in the 1990s (and spelled DvoIák in the index) and replaces the occasional n with an m. These are small flaws, however, in an otherwise well-put-together work. More specific than the Encyclopedia of Western Colonialism since 1450 (2006), this set is appropriate for serious students of the era and is recommended for academic and large public libraries. Also available as an e-book.

Caroline Humfress - Orthodoxy and the Courts in La te Antiquity (2007).jpg

This book approaches the subject of late Roman law from the perspective of legal practice revealed in courtroom processes, as well as more "informal" types of dispute settlement. From at least the early fourth century, leading bishops, ecclesiastics, and Christian polemicists participated in a vibrant culture of forensic argument, with far-reaching effects on theological debate, the development of ecclesiastical authority, and the elaboration of early "Canon law." One of the most innovative aspects of late Roman law was the creation and application of new legal categories used in the prosecution of "heretics." Leading Christian polemicists not only used techniques of argument learnt in the late Roman rhetorical schools to help position the Church within the structure of Empire, but also used those techniques in cases involving accusations against "heretics" -- thus defining and developing the concept of Christian orthodoxy itself.

Hans J.Hummer - Politics and Power in Early Mediev al Europe, Alsace and the Frankish Realm, 600–1000 . (2005).jpg

In this powerfully argued, original and well-balanced study, Hans Hummer investigates the operation of political power in early medieval Europe, from 600 to 1000AD. Focusing on the region of Alsace, Hummer elucidates the networks of monasteries and kin-groups that formed the basis of the local political order and demonstrates the importance of monastic control. Standing on a recurrent political fault line, Alsace is a fascinating case study upon which to base an exploration of the relationship between local and central power over these four centuries.

Mack P. Holt - French Wars Religion (2005).jpg

This book is a new edition of Mack P. Holt's classic study of the French religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Drawing on the scholarship of social and cultural historians of the Reformation, it shows how religion infused both politics and the socio-economic tensions of the period to produce a long extended civil war. Professor Holt integrates court politics and the political theory of the elites with the religious experiences of the popular classes, offering a fresh perspective on the wars and on why the French were willing to kill their neighbors in the name of religion.

Matthew Innes - State and Society in the Early Mid dle Ages (2000).jpg

This book is a pioneering study of politics and society in the early middle ages. Whereas it is widely believed that the source materials for early medieval Europe are too sparse to allow sustained study of the workings of social and political relationships on the ground, this book focuses on a uniquely well-documented area to investigate the basis of power. Topics covered include the foundation of monasteries, their relationship with the laity, and their role as social centres; the significance of urbanism; the control of land, the development of property rights and the organisation of states; community, kinship and lordship; justice and dispute settlement; the uses of the written word; violence and the feud; and the development of political structures from the Roman empire to the high middle ages.

Norman Housley - Religious Warefare in Europe, 140 0-1536 (2002).jpeg

Religious warfare has been a recurrent feature of European history. In this intelligent and readable new study, the distinguished Crusade historian Norman Housley describes and analyses the principal expressions of holy war in the period from the Hussite wars to the first generation of the Reformation. The context was one of both challenge and expansion. The Ottoman Turks posed an unprecedented external threat to the 'Christian republic', while doctrinal dissent, constant warfare between states, and rebellion eroded it from within. This is a major contribution to both Crusade history and the study of the Wars of Religion of the early modern period. Professor Housley explores the interaction between Crusade and religious war in the broader sense, and argues that the religious violence of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was organic, in the sens that it sprang from deeply rooted proclivities within European society.

Thomas Benjamin - Encyclopedia of Western Colonial ism Since 1450 (2006).jpg

The period from the Renaissance onward has seen several nations and their citizens explore areas beyond their own borders in attempts to discover and colonize new territory, thereby expanding their sphere of influence for economic reasons or, for some, to escape persecution in their own land. Whatever the reason, colonialism still has its effects on the modern world, whether it led to the birth of a new nation (as in the case of the U.S.) or helps to explain simmering tensions that remain in Africa and India. Editor Benjamin is a professor of Latin American history at Central Michigan University; according to his preface, this set "provides the most comprehensive, accessible, and international reference work about the entirety of Western Colonialism from the Portuguese voyages of Prince Henry the Navigator in the fifteenth century to the making of feature films about British colonialism in India in the twenty-first century." The encyclopedia contains 411 articles by 234 academically affiliated contributors and is liberally illustrated with more than 300 illustrations, maps, and charts. A thematic outline is included in the first volume; the set concludes with selected text from 29 primary sources (for example, Monroe Doctrine, Treaty of Utrecht) and a comprehensive index.

Gareth Stedman Jones - An End To Poverty, A Histor ical Debate (2004).jpg

In the 1790s, for the first time, reformers proposed bringing poverty to an end. Inspired by scientific progress, the promise of an international economy, and the revolutions in France and the United States, political thinkers such as Thomas Paine and Antoine-Nicolas Condorcet argued that all citizens could be protected against the hazards of economic insecurity. In "An End to Poverty?" Gareth Stedman Jones revisits this founding moment in the history of social democracy and examines how it was derailed by conservative as well as leftist thinkers. By tracing the historical evolution of debates concerning poverty, Stedman Jones revives an important, but forgotten strain of progressive thought. He also demonstrates that current discussions about economic issues -- downsizing, globalization, and financial regulation -- were shaped by the ideological conflicts of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Paine and Condorcet believed that republicanism combined with universal pensions, grants to support education, and other social programs could alleviate poverty. In tracing the inspiration for their beliefs, Stedman Jones locates an unlikely source-Adam Smith. Paine and Condorcet believed that Smith's vision of a dynamic commercial society laid the groundwork for creating economic security and a more equal society.

But these early visions of social democracy were deemed too threatening to a Europe still reeling from the traumatic aftermath of the French Revolution and increasingly anxious about a changing global economy. Paine and Condorcet were demonized by Christian and conservative thinkers such as Burke and Malthus, who used Smith's ideas to support a harsher vision ofsociety based on individualism and laissez-faire economics. Meanwhile, as the nineteenth century wore on, thinkers on the left developed more firmly anticapitalist views and criticized Paine and Condorcet for being too "bourgeois" in their thinking. Stedman Jones however, argues that contemporary social democracy should take up the mantle of these earlier thinkers, and he suggests that the elimination of poverty need not be a utopian dream but may once again be profitably made the subject of practical, political, and social-policy debates.
