John Emsley - The Elements of Murder, A History of Poison (2005).jpg

Readers seduced by this book's provocative title into expecting a spicy catalog of murder and mayhem may be a bit disappointed by its somewhat dry and technical tone. The author, a veteran science writer, certainly knows his stuff, but he may have slightly overestimated his audience's tolerance for discussions of chemical formulas. Still, for the patient reader, there is a wealth of intriguing information here. Emsley traces the evolution of alchemy and explains the central role that the quest to turn metal into gold plays in the history of poison, pausing along the way to note that Isaac Newton's obsession with alchemy may have contributed to his madness. Later chapters discuss the history, uses, and murderous abuses of mercury, arsenic, antimony, lead, and thallium. Yes, it's technical, but just keep plodding: it's not all formulas. Emsley retells enough juicy and lurid (and sometimes famous) stories of murder by poison to enthrall both true-crime fans and budding mystery writers.

John Lewis Gaddis - The Landscape of History, How Historians Map the Past (2002).jpg

What is history and why should we study it? Is there such a thing as historical truth? Is history a science? One of the most accomplished historians at work today, John Lewis Gaddis, answers these and other questions in this short, witty, and humane book. The Landscape of History provides a searching look at the historian's craft, as well as a strong argument for why a historical consciousness should matter to us today. Gaddis points out that while the historical method is more sophisticated than most historians realize, it doesn't require unintelligible prose to explain. Like cartographers mapping landscapes, historians represent what they can never replicate. In doing so, they combine the techniques of artists, geologists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists. Their approaches parallel, in intriguing ways, the new sciences of chaos, complexity, and criticality. They don't much resemble what happens in the social sciences, where the pursuit of independent variables functioning with static systems seems increasingly divorced from the world as we know it. So who's really being scientific and who isn't? This question too is one Gaddis explores, in ways that are certain to spark interdisciplinary controversy. Written in the tradition of Marc Bloch and E.H. Carr, The Landscape of History is at once an engaging introduction to the historical method for beginners, a powerful reaffirmation of it for practitioners, a startling challenge to social scientists, and an effective skewering of post-modernist claims that we can't know anything at all about the past. It will be essential reading for anyone who reads, writes, teaches, or cares about history.

All History - Peter Hinchcliffe, John T. Ducker, Maria Holt - Witho...t Glory in Arabia, The British Retreat from Aden 2006.jpg

'So we left without glory but without disaster', Sir Humphrey Trevelyan, the last High Commissioner of the Federation of South Arabia. In 1967, 139 years after their arrival in Aden, the British withdrew from the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Using important, previously unpublished material and original interviews with a range of individuals, both British and Yemeni, who lived through this fascinating period of colonial history, Without Glory in Arabia tells the story of the final few years of British rule in Aden and the neighboring Eastern and Western Aden Protectorates. While some would argue that British rule had, on the whole, been beneficial to the local population, others insist that very little was achieved. Worse, Britain was unable to find a structure of government constitution which met the conflicting needs of Aden and the Protectorate. This illuminating book brilliantly sets the "scuttle" in context with a thorough re-examination of the background against which the events of the 1960s unfolded in this obscure backwater of the British Empire.

All History - 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.

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.

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.
