Janet Thomas
The Battle in Seattle: The Story Behind and Beyond the Wto Demonstrations

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Between 40,000 and 60,000 people protested against the World Trade Organization`s Third Ministerial on November 30, 1999. They converged on Seattle to express their concerns about the power of corporations, globalization, and the gap between fantasies ofthe good life and the real lives of working people everywhere. Energized by her own participation in the protests, Seattle writer Janet Thomas was determined to present a view of the events that went beyond the facile coverage of the media. She interviewed many of the participants and has created portraits of modern civil disobedience that will serve as an inspiration for all people concerned about the homogenization of daily life and the disparity between rich and poor around the globe. By concentrating on both the personalities and the issues, The Battle in Seattle serves as a corrective to all those who believe that the protesters expressed their beliefs in vain. Janet Thomas is a published author and a playwright, and has… [detailed...]

The Battle of Alberta: A Century of Hockey`s Greatest Rival

2005 y.
Publisher: Heritage House Publishing
Description: Alberta has long been a big part of the frantic Canadian hockey scene, and even before Alberta became a province in 1905, the intense hockey rivalry between Calgary and Edmonton was in full swing. In The Battle of Alberta the rough- and-tumble relationship between these two hockey hotbeds is presented in all its colourful glory. The tussle got its start in 1895 when an all-star team from Calgary journeyed to Edmonton to take on the mighty Thistles and a team of Northwest Mounted Police pucksters. Calgary came away victorious, Edmonton vowed revenge, and thus began a long procession of battling teams in both cities. Illustrated with archival photographs of the many teams and players from the far and near past, hockey fans throughout Alberta and across Canada will delight in this wonderful history of hockey`s longest and greatest rivalry.

The Battle of Blair Mountain: The Story of America`s Largest Labor Uprising

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: ` The Battle of Blair Mountain is historical narrative at its best.` ( Christian Science Monitor ) In 1921, some 10,000 West Virginia coal miners-- outraged over years of brutality and exploitation-- picked up their Winchesters and marched against their tormentors, the powerful mine owners who ruled their corrupt state. For ten days the miners fought a pitched battle against an opposing legion of deputies, state police, and makeshift militia. Only the intervention of a Federal expeditionary force ended this undeclared war. In The Battle of Blair Mountain , Robert Shogan shows this long-neglected slice of American history to be a saga of the conflicting political, economic, and cultural forces that shaped the power structure of twentieth-century America. `A mesmerizing, rarely mentioned piece of labor history, crackingly told.` ( Kirkus , starred review) `Riveting and well researched.` ( Library Journal ) `Concise, dramatic and authoritative.`… [detailed...]

The Battle of Gettysburg : A Soldier`s First-Hand Account

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In what may be the longest, and most poignant, letter to a relative from a soldier in the Civil War, this authoritative book by Col. Frank Haskell recounts the officer`s experiences in the bloody, three-day battle at Gettysburg in the summer of 1863. Often considered the turning point of the war, the campaign--which resulted in thousands of casualties on both sides--rallied the Union troops. Haskell`s descriptions of the wounded, of skirmishes, attacks and counterattacks, estimates of losses, the marks of battle, and burial of the dead are all vividly described: `Our own dead were usually buried not long after they fell … It was a work that the men`s hearts were in as soon as the fight was over … to make them a grave in some convenient spot, and decently composed with their blankets wrapped about them, to cover them tenderly with earth and mark their resting place.` One of the war`s best eyewitness accounts, this classic narrative will be treasured by Civil… [detailed...]

However, the advantage had swung towards the Soviet forces and they never let it go. The German thrusts were contained within tantalizing grasp of success, but the Red Army delivered a series of crushing counterblows that drove the Wehrmacht back over the Dneiper. Kursk was the greatest clash of armoured forces in history and the decisive land battle of WW2. Формат: 13,5 см x 21,5 см. [detailed...]

The Battle of Montevideo: Celtic Under Seige

2008 y.
Publisher: The History Press
Description: The 1967 World Club Championship decider between Celtic and Racing Club of Buenos Aires was one of the most violent and controversial matches of all time. Three Celtic players and two from Racing Club were sent off in total. A fourth Celtic player was dismissed but amid the chaos got away with staying on. The game descended into farce, with the Uruguayan police forced to take to the pitch with batons to separate the brawling players. Pictures released of the match met with shock worldwide, but while an embarrassed Jock Stein fined his players, those from Racing Club were rewarded with new cars. This book tells the story of a real clash of soccer cultures when a group of young British men journeyed into the unknown. [detailed...]

The Battle of Poitiers 1356

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the story of one of the great battles of the Hundred Years War, often ignored in favor of its more celebrated siblings, Crecy and Agincourt. The victory at Poitiers by an English force outnumbered two-to-one as led by Edward the Black Prince was one of the most significant of the Hundred Years War. The consequences of the battle resonated throughout the remainder of the century and influenced the war to its end in 1453. David Green has researched the battle and the raids that preceded it exhaustively and details the strategy, tactics, arms, and armor used by both sides. He reconstructs the battle using an array of contemporary sources and discusses the protagonists, setting, course, and outcome of the encounter and considers the implications of the capture of King Jean II of France and many of the most important members of the French nobility.

The Bayeux Tapestry

Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Description: A new edition of a classic book: the complete Bayeux Tapestry in color with an introduction, description, and commentary by a leading authority on the period. In a museum in the small town of Bayeux in Normandy, specially devised to hold this single object, is a strip of linen nearly one thousand years old. It is 230 feet long and about 20 inches high. On it, embroidered in brightly colored wool, are figures of men, animals, buildings, and ships. In a series of vivid scenes, with a running explanatory text in Latin, it relates the invasion of England by William of Normandy and his victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Nothing remotely like the Bayeux Tapestry exists anywhere in the world, yet comparatively few people have been to Bayeux to see it and appreciate how totally absorbing it is. This book, first published in 1985, reproduces the Tapestry in full color and makes it accessible as never before. The story told in the Tapestry has all the… [detailed...]

The Bayeux Tapestry

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most extraordinary artefacts to survive from the eleventh century. A fragile web of woollen thread on linen, its brilliant colours undimmed after nearly a thousand years, this masterpiece is unique as a complete example of an art form beloved of the aristocracy in the Romanesque era - the `historiated` or narrative embroidery. The momentous story it tells is that of one of the turning-points in English and European history, the struggle for the succession to the English throne which culminated in the Battle of Hastings in the fateful year of 1066. The version told is that of the Normans who commissioned it - of Harold`s perjury and its dreadful price, death and defeat in battle. Yet the sympathies of the English hands that designed and created it are equally evident. And the Tapestry itself is so close to the events it describes, and portrays them in such vivid detail, as to make it in its own right a historical source of the first order, not only for… [detailed...]

The Bayeux Tapestry

1994 y.
Publisher: Prestel
Description: `The Bayeux Tapestry`, the world-famous embroidered 73 meters long on display in the northern French town, depicts the Norman conquest of England in the year 1066. The tapestry is arguably the most important, but certainly one of the most enigmatic works of art of the early Middle Ages, providing the viewer with an unparalleled insight into this dramatic historical event. The exquisite tapestry depicts the protagonists, Duke William of Normandy (William the Conqueror), and his half-brother, Bishop Odo of Bayeux, sailing across the English Channel and confronting the Anglo-Saxon king, Harold of Wessex, at the Battle of Hastings. The tapestry is now seen as much more of a milestone in Western art than had previously been thought. It demonstrates exceptional artistic experimentation in its depiction of everyday reality, nature, and contemporary issues. The narrative cycle impressively presents the early Normans` view of the world, their notion of their historical role, and their… [detailed...]

The Beach

1998 y.
Publisher: Riverhead Trade
Description: In our ever-shrinking world, where popular Western culture seems to have infected every nation on the planet, it is hard to find even a small niche of unspoiled land--forget searching for pristine islands or continents. This is the situation in Alex Garland`s debut novel, The Beach. Human progress has reduced Eden to a secret little beach near Thailand. In the tradition of grand adventure novels, Richard, a rootless traveler rambling around Thailand on his way somewhere else, is given a hand-drawn map by a madman who calls himself Daffy Duck. He and two French travelers set out on a journey to find this paradise. What makes this a truly satisfying novel is the number of levels on which it operates. On the surface it`s a fast-paced adventure novel, at another level it explores why we search for these utopias, be they mysterious lost continents or small island communes. Garland weaves a gripping and thought-provoking narrative that suggests we are, in fact, such products of our… [detailed...]
