Derek Briggs, Peter R Crowther - Palaeobiology II (2001).jpg

Palaeobiology: A Synthesis was widely acclaimed both for its content and production quality. Ten years on, Derek Briggs and Peter Crowther have once again brought together over 150 leading authorities from around the world to produce Palaeobiology II. Using the same successful formula, the content is arranged as a series of concise articles, taking a thematic approach to the subject, rather than treating the various fossil groups systematically.
This entirely new book, with its diversity of new topics and over 100 new contributors, reflects the exciting developments in the field, including accounts of spectacular newly discovered fossils, and embraces data from other disciplines such as astrobiology, geo and genetics.
Palaeobiology II will be an invaluable resource, not only for palaeontologists, but also for students
and researchers in other branches of the earth and life sciences.
* Written by an international team of recognised authorities in the field.
* Content is concise but informative.
* Demonstrates how palaeobiological studies are at the heart of a range of scientific themes.

Paul Bahn - Archaeology, A Very Short Introduction (2000).jpg

This entertaining very short introduction reflects the enduring popularity of archaeology-a subject which appeals as a pastime, career, and academic discipline, encompasses the whole globe, and surveys 2.5 million years. From deserts to jungles, from deep caves to mountain tops, from pebble tools to satellite photographs, from excavation to abstract theory, archaeology interacts with nearly every other discipline in its attempts to reconstruct the past.

Arther Ferrill - The Origins Of War, From The Ston e Age To Alexander The Great, Revised Edition (199 7).jpg

The origins of war can be traced back to the emergence of settled life nearly 10,000 years ago. This newly revised edition of Professor Arther Ferrill's thesis presents detailed and copiously illustrated accounts of all major battles on land and sea up to the fourth century B.C., analyzes weapons from the sling to the catapult, and discusses ancient strategy and tactics, making it a book for armchair historians everywhere.

Jeannine Davis-Kimball - Kurgans, Ritual Sites and Settlements, Eurasian, Bronze and Iron Age (2000).jpg

This richly illustrated volume, which will add immensely to the small, yet growing corpus, of Eurasian Archaeology published in the English language. Comprised of thirty articles, the authors have focused on the Bronze Age beginning in the third millennium BC to ca., continuing to include the first millennium BC Early Iron Age, with a terminus of ca. AD 500.
The geographic range extends from the far western great Hungarian plains, north to Fennoscandia and its relationship with Siberia, south to include northern Afghanistan and the Kalmyk steppes, and east to the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia.
The volume has been divided into four parts: Part I, Eurasian Archaeological Theory; Part II, Archaeological Excavations; Part III, Interpretations of Eurasian Archaeology in the Bronze Age; and Part IV, Interpretations of Eurasian Archaeology in the Early Iron Age.

All History - Osprey 71 - Campaign - David Nicolle - Crcy 1346, Triumph of the longbow 2000.jpg

The Battle of Crecy was the first major land battle of the Hundred Years War. It pitted the French army, then considered the best in Europe, and their miscellaneous allies against the English under King Edward III and the ‘Black Prince’, who as yet had no great military reputation; this was the battle where he ‘won his spurs’. The Genoese crossbowmen were outshot by the English longbows and the pattern was set for the rest of the day: the French cavalry were committed piecemeal in fruitless charges against strong English positions, losing perhaps 10,000 men in the course of the fighting. After almost a millennium in which cavalry had dominated the field of battle, the infantryman, and particularly the longbowman, now ruled supreme.

Osprey - Campaign 12 - Peter Harrington - Culloden 1746, The Highland Clans' Last Charge (1991).jpg

Culloden marked the end of the last and greatest of the Jacobite adventures - the '45 Rebellion - in which the Highland clans challenged the power of the Hanoverian King of England. It was at Culloden that Charles Edward Stuart's army was finally defeated. His tired Highlanders had little chance against the steady infantry and heavy artillery fire of the English. Peter Harrington examines all aspects of the battle, including its background, the earlier Highlander victories, the men and commanders of both sides, and the massacre that took place in its aftermath.

Osprey - Campaign 213 - Michael McNally - Ireland 1649-52, Cromwell's Protestant Crusade (2009).jpg

Following the execution of King Charles I in January 1649, the English Parliament saw their opportunity to launch an assault on the Royalist enclave in Ireland. Oliver Cromwell was appointed as Deputy of Ireland to lead a campaign to restore direct control and quell the opposition. The first battle in Cromwell’s bloody offensive was at Drogheda, where an assault on the city walls resulted in the slaughter of almost 4000 defenders and inhabitants. The Parliamentary troops then proceeded to Wexford where battle once again lead to a massacre. After Cromwell returned to England, his son-in-law, Henry Ireton, continued the operation which ended with the surrender of Galway in 1652 and led to the Act for the Settlement of Ireland, in which Irish Royalists and Confederates were evicted and their lands ‘settled’ by those who had advanced funds to Parliament.

Osprey - Warrior 16 - Martin Pegler - British Tomm y 1914-18 (1996).jpg

The World War 1 was a watershed in British military and social history, and even now the repercussions can still be felt. No town or village in the British Isles escaped casualty, and the creative genius of a generation was wiped out, at an incalculable loss to society. This book looks in detail at how the British soldier lived, fought and died during the traumatic war years. Enlistment, training and all aspects of life on active service are carefully examined, including discipline, relaxation and even the type and quality of food that soldiers ate. The analysis of the British infantryman's experience is greatly aided by the memories of old soldiers, which provide an interesting and often vivid account of life on the Western Front.

Robert Louis Benson, Robert Charles Figueira - Ple nitude of power, the doctrines and exercise of aut hority in the Middle Ages, Essays in memory of Rob ert Louis Benson (2006).jpg

All History - Robert Louis Benson, Robert Charles Figueira - Plenit...le Ages, Essays in memory of Robert Louis Benson 2006.jpg

'I study power' - so Robert Louis Benson described his work as a scholar of medieval history. This volume unites papers by a number of his students dealing with matters central to Benson's historical interests - ecclesiastical institutions and administration, emperorship and papacy, canon law, political ideology, and historiography.The justification and exercise of political power is considered in two chapters that look at how the hagiography of a late Roman military saint, Maurice, was harnessed in the 11th century to the discussion of the power exercised by both emperor and pope, and how both pious purpose and political pretext animated the Hohenstaufen emperors' suppression of heresy. Three subsequent chapters focus on the Church: a study of the legal commentaries that taught that the 'authority to bind and loose' in a specific ecclesiastical matter could be determined by the opinions of 'the elders of the province'; an argument that Innocent III's administration of the Roman church represented a model for the ordering of all Christian society; and an inquiry into the doctrinal formation of the 'territorial principle' in the exercise of jurisdiction by papal legates.The late Middle Ages provides the focus for two additional studies, namely an exploration of the issues of power and authority in the charitable institutions of Cologne in the 13th-14th centuries, and the argument that the current desire for universal standards of governmental conduct in the area of basic human rights hearkens back to natural law theory as outlined in the 15th century by Nicholas of Cusa. Two historiographical studies round out the volume: an estimation of modern research regarding the political theology of late antiquity, and a reflection on Benson's own contribution to historical scholarship. Together, these papers both epitomize and further develop Benson's distinctive approach to the study of the Middle Ages, while themselves making their own important contribution.

Ardis Butterfield - The Familiar Enemy, Chaucer, L anguage, and Nation in the Hundred Years War (2010 ).jpg

The Familiar Enemy re-examines the linguistic, literary, and cultural identities of England and France within the context of the Hundred Years War. During this war, two profoundly intertwined peoples developed complex strategies for expressing their aggressively intimate relationship. This special connection between the English and the French has endured into the modern period as a model for Western nationhood. Ardis Butterfield reassesses the concept of 'nation' in this period through a wide-ranging discussion of writing produced in war, truce, or exile from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, concluding with reflections on the retrospective views of this conflict created by the trials of Jeanne d'Arc and by Shakespeare's Henry V. She considers authors writing in French, 'Anglo-Norman', English, and the comic tradition of Anglo-French 'jargon', including Machaut, Deschamps, Froissart, Chaucer, Gower, Charles d'Orléans, as well as many lesser-known or anonymous works.

Traditionally Chaucer has been seen as a quintessentially English author. This book argues that he needs to be resituated within the deeply francophone context, not only of England but the wider multilingual cultural geography of medieval Europe. It thus suggests that a modern understanding of what 'English' might have meant in the fourteenth century cannot be separated from 'French', and that this has far-reaching implications both for our understanding of English and the English, and of French and the French.

Dorothy H. Crawford - Deadly Companions, How Micro bes Shaped Our History (2007).jpg

Ever since we started huddling together in communities, the story of human history has been inextricably entwined with the story of microbes. They have evolved and spread amongst us, shaping our culture through infection, disease, and pandemic. At the same time, our changing human culture has itself influenced the evolutionary path of microbes. Dorothy H. Crawford here shows that one cannot be truly understood without the other. Beginning with a dramatic account of the SARS pandemic at the start of the 21st century, she takes us back in time to follow the interlinked history of microbes and man, taking an up-to-date look at ancient plagues and epidemics, and identifying key changes in the way humans have lived - such as our move from hunter-gatherer to farmer to city-dweller - which made us vulnerable to microbe attack. Showing how we live our lives today - with increasing crowding and air travel - puts us once again at risk, Crawford asks whether we might ever conquer microbes completely, or whether we need to take a more microbe-centric view of the world. Among the possible answers, one thing becomes clear: that for generations to come, our deadly companions will continue to shape human history.

James Oldham - English Common Law in the Age of Ma nsfield (2004).jpg

In the eighteenth century, the English common law courts laid the foundation that continues to support present-day Anglo-American law. Lord Mansfield, Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, 1756-1788, was the dominant judicial force behind these developments. In this abridgment of his two-volume book, The Mansfield Manuscripts and the Growth of English Law in the Eighteenth Century, James Oldham presents the fundamentals of the English common law during this period, with a detailed description of the operational features of the common law courts. This work includes revised and updated versions of the historical and analytical essays that introduced the case transcriptions in the original volumes, with each chapter focusing on a different aspect of the law.
While considerable scholarship has been devoted to the eighteenth-century English criminal trial, little attention has been given to the civil side. This book helps to fill that gap, providing an understanding of the principal body of substantive law with which America's founding fathers would have been familiar. It is an invaluable reference for practicing lawyers, scholars, and students of Anglo-American legal history.

John Man - The Great Wall, The Extraordinary Story of China's Wonder of the World (2008).jpg

As he traverses the Middle Kingdom’s most famous landmark, Man discovers complexities lurking behind beliefs that have long defined the Great Wall in popular imagination. It is, for instance, slack mythology that credits China’s first emperor with building the wall to protect his people from barbarian invaders. In truth, Man discovers that the wall long served chiefly to consolidate the internal political power of China’s ambitious rulers. Man even discredits the widespread belief that China built the wall as one unified structure. As he chronicles his own restless travels along a wild patchwork of many different walls, he probes a labyrinth of historical enigmas. Emperors give way to bandits, poets to commissars, as unpredictably as reed and earth supplant rock and brick. The wall’s architectural complexities thus become a huge metaphor for cultural evolution, as the serpentine partition links China’s buried past with its hoped-for future. Deploying the same lively style that attracted readers to his Genghis Kahn (2004), Man transforms a forbidding barrier into an inviting passageway into Asian culture.

T. C. W. Blanning - The Oxford History of Modern E urope (2000).jpg

In the introduction to the Oxford Illustrated History of Modern Europe, T.C.W. Blanning argues that, in many ways, the essence of modern man is that he is self-consciously dynamic. We are attracted to change--it captures the eye much more than stability. This excellent book reveals much about the things that have changed in Europe since 1789--and, just as importantly, the things that have remained constant. The eleven essays in this collection (written by some of the biggest names in the field of European history, such as Princeton's Harold James, U.C. Berkeley's Martin Jay, and Richard Overy of King's College, London) focus on various aspects of European society, from politics and economics to high culture and social structures, and analyze both the changes and the engines of those changes. In his standout essay on the changing nature of warfare, 1789-1918, Hew Strachan argues that this military modernization cannot simply be explained by new technology and that more emphasis must be placed on changing ideas. Strachan and the other authors for the most part eschew jargon and present an authoritative set of essays complemented by over 240 arresting color and black-and-white illustrations. Many of the chapters would be suitable readings for upper-division history courses, and the thorough index, detailed chronology, and suggestions for further reading would be a great help to students. This book is accessible to the general reader while remaining valuable to the scholar--and is immensely readable to boot.

Wilhelm Baum, Dietmar W. Winkler - The Church of t he East, A Concise History (2003).jpg

The Apostolic Churches of the East is currently the only complete history in English of the Syriac Church of the East. It covers the periods of the Sassanians, Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans, and the twentieth century. While the Arabs conquered the Middle East in the seventh century, the East Syriac missionaries had already reached the court of the Emperor of China, and in the European Middle Ages, the Church of the East was geographically far larger than the Roman Catholic Church, with congregations in Central Asia and India. The Church of the East is now scattered all over the world, with faithful in the Middle East, Europe, the USA, India and Australia.

Neil Price - The Archaeology of Shamanism (2001).jpg

In this timely collection, Neil Price brings together recent archaeological thought on shamanism. Issues addressed include shamanic material culture, responses to dying and the dead, shamanism in the context of other belief systems such as totemism, shamanic soundscapes, and the use of ritual architecture. With case studies from the arctic Greenland to Africa and from Europe to Asia this work covers the Palaeolithic to the present day.
