Listing and brief history of the regiments of the of the Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery units of the Habsburg Empire, 1868-1914.Forfatter: James Lucas Author and historian. Imperial War Museum, London, England, deputy head of department of photographs.Mr. Lucas was a WWII veteran. He served with the Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment, First Battalion, North Africa, infantryman, 1942; Queens' Own Royal West Surrey Regiment, Italy, 1943-44; Occupation Army, Austria, 1945; Foreign Office, Germany.Most of James Lucas's professional life was associated with war. First, he served in the Queen's Own Royal Army as a British soldier in World War II, stationed in Africa, Italy, and later in Austria. In 1960 he joined the staff of the Imperial War Museum in London, eventually becoming the deputy head of the department of photographs. After retiring from this position, Lucas took up a third career, that of an author and historian. His favorite topic was World War II, a subject about which he became a respected authority—not only among scholars, but, through his work as an adviser on film and television productions about the war, among the general public as well. According to a London Times obituary, Lucas examined "almost every aspect of the Nazi war machine …combining technical information with first-hand testimony and so producing a body of work unequalled in its breadth. Having fought the Third Reich's best troops through North Africa and Italy, he knew their tenacity and resourcefulness."Lucas's writing style was not considered typical of war histories. "Humour and enthusiasm, combined with rigorous attention to detail, were the hallmarks of his style," reported the Times obituary writer. Lucas was a prolific writer upon his topic of choice; and he covered many different aspects of the war, often concentrating on the German side of the conflicts.As his Times obituarist declared, Lucas "saw himself as an archivist, searching for the ordinary men in the heat of battle, playing their part in the bigger picture." Lucas died on June 19, 2002, at the age of seventy-eight.Titel: Fighting Troops of the Austro-Hungarian Army, 1868-1914Forfatter: James LucasForlag: Buccaneer BooksUdgivelsesår: 1987Sider: 264Sprog: Engelsk Klik på 'Se annoncen hos forhandleren' for at se varen i vores webshop Vi sender til hele landet for 45 kr.

From the austere beauty of the tombs in the Valleys of the Kings and Queens, the measured geometry of Queen Hatshepsut's funerary temple of Deir el-Bahari, and the regal colonnades of the Ramesseum to the always edifying and sometimes witty depiction of daily life in the private necropolises, the art and architecture of the Theban West Bank presents us with the panorama of Egyptian life in the glorious New Kingdom 3,500 years ago.Udgivelsesår: 2001Sider: 434Sprog: Engelsk Klik på 'Se annoncen hos forhandleren' for at se varen i vores webshop Vi sender til hele landet for 45 kr.

Victoria & Albert af Jonathan Marsden (Bog)

Victoria & Albert af Jonathan Marsden (Bog)

54 kr.

Art & LoveThe Victorian era is unquestionably one of the high points in the history of British art--and the culture of that period was defined, as much as anything, by the artistic tastes of Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Albert. From Victoria's accession in 1837 to Albert's death in 1861, Buckingham Palace was known as "the headquarters of taste," and in a time when royal patronage was still essential to a successful artistic career, the pair enthusiastically collected paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and furniture from a wide range of British and European artists. Victoria & Albert presents the highlights of that extensive collection through more than four hundred beautifully produced full-color illustrations. In addition to the many artworks, both familiar and little-known, that Victoria and Albert collected, the book also features the monarchs' own creations, from paintings, drawings, and etchings to the loving souvenir albums they assembled to record their travels and commemorate the major events of their lives. Opening a window onto the lives of two people as passionate about art as they were about each other, Victoria & Albert will be a comprehensive resource for scholars of British art and the royal family.Forlag: Royal Collection TrustUdgivelsesår: 2010Sider: 490Sprog: Engelsk Klik på 'Se annoncen hos forhandleren' for at se varen i vores webshop Vi sender til hele landet for 45 kr.

65 kr.

A Wickedly Smart Guide to History's Naughtiest BitsThink of anything bad, from art heists to Genghis Kahn, and it's likely to be included in this wickedly smart and humorous guide to the seedy underbelly of basically everything. The brainiac team at "mental_floss", creators of the hit magazine and last year's Condensed Knowledge, have scoured the darkest, dirtiest corners of history and the globe to gather this ultimate collection of the bad stuff you're not supposed to know and you certainly never learned in school. Organized by theme, with chapters for each of the seven deadly sins, the book includes feuds, plagiarists, hoaxes, lies, schemes, scandals, evil dictators, mob bosses, acts of revenge, angry queens, cannibals and much more, all organized into bite-sized—albeit foul-tasting—lists (i.e."The Fascist Style Guide: Five Dictator Grooming Tips", “Four Biblical Girls Gone Wild" and “Three Delicious Animals We Charbroiled Into Extinction."). It's the perfect way to add some spice to a dull conversation and proves that learning can be not only easy, but exquisitely sinful.Forlag: William Morrow PaperbacksUdgivelsesår: 2005Sider: 320Sprog: Engelsk Klik på 'Se annoncen hos forhandleren' for at se varen i vores webshop Vi sender til hele landet for 45 kr.

The Cartoon Century

The Cartoon Century

100 kr.

Timothy S Benson. Indbundet, 256 sider. Som ny. Sendes gerne, porto = 50 kr. MobilePay. Cartoons have the astonishing power to encapsulate a historical moment or popular mood, and this magnificent new survey tells the story of modern Britain through hundreds of the finest examples. Year by year, from the death of Queen Victoria to the downfall of Saddam Hussein, it shows the views taken by the nation's leading cartoonists of the issues and personalities that dominated the news - some of worldwide significance (the outbreak of the Second World War, for example), some of major social and political importance (for instance, the rise of the Suffragettes), some reflecting more parochial obsessions (as, for example, the Edwardian cartoon bemoaning the presence of foreign players in English football teams). Some show a nation united (the outbreak of the First World War); more often they reveal where battlelines have been drawn, whether they're cartoons supporting or attacking appeasement, trade unions, the EU or contraception, or seeking to praise or bury Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair or the Archbishop of Canterbury. Many have achieved iconic status (David Low's savage attacks on Hitler; Steve Bell's portrayal of John Major with his pants over his trousers), but the majority of the cartoons shown here have not seen the light of day since they were first published, or were rejected or censored by contemporary newspapers. Together, they offer fascinating and revealing snapshot views of Britain over the course of a tumultuous century.
