British Antique Furniture: Price Guide and Reasons for Values

2006 y.
Publisher: Antique Collectors` Club
Description: For more than thirty-seven years this book has, in its various editions, outsold all other books on British antique furniture. It pioneered the explanation of what to look for when assessing values. Unlike other illustrated guides, the in-depth descriptions, complete with judgements on quality or originality, help immensely in understanding the subject. Much of what has recently received adverse auction sale publicity as `dismal brown furniture` needs to be judged by qualified eyes capable of dismissing the mediocre and the fake. This new edition of a classic guide consists of more than 1000 black and white photographs perpetuating thirty-seven years of observation, and nearly 500 colour plates, selected to show how and why values vary. Down-to-earth comments explain important features that influence prices. The reader comes to understand the rules and prejudices that currently apply. The eye becomes attuned to gradations of quality, leading to an instinctive assessment of the… [detailed...]

British Car Advertising of the 1960s

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDuring the 1960s, the automobile finally secured its position as an indispensable component of daily life in Britain. Car ownership more than doubled from approximately one car for every 10 people in 1960 to one car for every 4.8 people by 1970. Advertisers, who once needed to promote the joys of motoring as well as the particular pleasures of the individual product, no longer needed to wonder whether the potential customer (let alone society at large) might be content with no car at all.It was during this time that the question changed from `Do we need a car?` to `What car shall we have?` This well-illustrated history explores the many types and trends of ads issued by both domestic car manufacturers and importers in three main sections: `Family Marques: Engines of an Industry,` `Luxury and Sporting Marques: Aspiration and Escape` and `Imported Marques: Britain Embraces the World.` Twelve appendices provide information on various topics ranging from the value… [detailed...]

British Cattle (Shire Library)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the eighteenth century, British cattle breeds have spread worldwide and have made the names of several counties famous in distant lands. Yet some of those breeds have become extinct and many others have become so rare in their own country that they are in danger of disappearing. In the hope of awakening enthusiasm for the diversity that still makes British cattle so interesting, this book describes all the existing breeds and many of those that have already gone. Diversity is crucial, cattle provide meat, milk, leather, muscle power and a wide range of by-products, and each breed was developed to meet specific demands. Most were perfectly suited to the environment in which they first developed - be it moorland, island, hill country or lush lowland. Agricultural practices and the markets that farmers serve change, but there will always be a place for good breeds that can meet different needs. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionA Critical and Interpretive History Although new writing and research on British cinema have burgeoned over the past fifteen years, few books provide a coherent overview of this fascinating and elusive national cinema.

With its insightful decade-by-decade analysis, British Cinema brings the subject to life for a new generation of students and general readers alike.

British Empiricism and Early Political Economy: Gregory King`s 1696 Estimates of National Wealth and Population (Contributions to the Study of World History)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Gregory King (1648-1712) was an engraver, herald, surveyor, and Secretary to the Commissioners for the Public Accounts, but he is best known for his 1696 estimates of the wealth and population of England. Writing in 1696, but calculating for the year 1688, he put the population at approximately 5.5 million. Historians have recently doubted the accuracy of these estimates. In this book, John A. Taylor argues that King was an honest compiler of data whose eccentric calculations of the 1696 data available to him were motivated by the problems he faced. Because he used only empiricism and shop arithmetic, the 1696 estimates were probably as accurate as anyone in the 17th century could have made them. This first book-length study of King`s work positions his successes and shortcomings as a statistician within the context of the whole ongoing failure of statisticians to construct a method of exact prediction about human society. In addition to this valuable commentary, Taylor also includes… [detailed...]

British H Class Submarine: Holland 602 type submarine, Royal Navy, Submarine, British Isles, Adriatic Sea, World War I, World War II, Sonar

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The British H class submarines were Holland 602 type submarines used by the Royal Navy. The submarines constructed for the British Royal Navy between 1915 and 1919 were designed and built in response to German boats which mined British waters and sank coastal shipping with ease due to their small size. The H-Class was therefore created to perform similar operations in German waters, and to attack German submarines operating in British waters. Despite their cramped size and lack of a deck gun, the class became enormously popular amongst submariners, and saw action all around the British Isles, some being transferred as far as the Adriatic. Due to the later arrival of most of the class, they were unable to have a massive impact, only achieving two victories (the German submarines U-51 and UB-52) for the loss of four of their own number in the First World War. Post war many were retained in the Royal Navy for training purposes, and four more were lost in wrecks during the 1920s. [detailed...]

British India and British Scotland, 1780-1830: Career-building, Empire-building, and a Scottish School of Thought on Indian Governance (International, Political, &, Economic History)

Publisher: —
Description: At the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, three Scotsmen, Thomas Munro, John Malcolm, and Mountstuart Elphinstone, rose in the service of the East India Company to become respected and influential officials. Martha McLaren?s book, British India and British Scotland, explores connections between their career-building strategies and their development of a principled and ?improving? school of thought on Indian governance based on Scottish enlightenment conceptions of forms of government, religion, law, and political economy. Exploring the interwoven careers of the three men, McLaren presents a new perspective on their deliberate use of Indian language skills, Indian knowledge, and articulately written reports to gain promotion,revising the orthodox representation of their school of thought as largely pragmatic and conservative. This book provides a new argument about the way Munro, Malcolm, and Elphinstone pursued career objectives and, more important,… [detailed...]

British Labour Party and International Relations: Socialism and War

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book provides a penetrating new study of the Labour Party`s thinking on international relations, which probes the past, present and future of the party`s approach to the international stage. The foreign policy of the Labour Party is not only neglected in most histories of the party, it is also often considered in isolation from the party`s origins, evolution and major domestic preoccupations. Yet nothing has been more divisive and more controversial in Labour`s history than the party`s foreign and defence policies and their relationship to its domestic programme. Much more has turned on this than the generation of tempestuous conference debates. Labour`s credentials as a credible prospect for Governmental office were thought to depend on a responsible approach to foreign and defence policy. Its exclusion from office was often said to stem from a failure to meet this test, as in the 1950s. The composition of Labour Cabinets was powerfully influenced by foreign… [detailed...]
