Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Barron's Educational Services, Inc. (illustratore). States "First Edition for the United States, its territories, and Canada published in 2006 by Barron's Educational Services, Inc." (There was an earlier edition, in 2005.) While the presentation seems to promise salacious reports of Hollywood crimes and scandals, THAT book would actually be "Hollywood Babylon" -- or possibly "Beverly Hills Confidential." In fact, to merit inclusion in this 368-pg. compilation (which doesn't even list a single "author," only enough "contributors" to help "Project Manager" Dannielle Doggett field a baseball team, several holding forth from Australia or New Zealand), all it appears a movie actor has to have done is died before the age of 60 -- though an overdose of barbiturates does seem to help. (The 1947 "Black Dahlia" murder of Elizabeth Short is reported as "unsolved.") Generally one moderately depressing biography -- with two accompanying photos, occasionally in color -- per page. 368 pp. including Index.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: New. A fascinating account of varied careers, providing a rich snapshot of the later eighteenth-century sailing navy in microcosm.This book sets out the lives of seventeen 'young gentlemen' who were midshipmen under the famous Captain Sir Edward Pellew. Together, aboard the frigate HMS Indefatigable, they fought a celebrated action in 1797 against theFrench ship of the line Les Droits de l'Homme. C. S. Forester, the historical novelist, placed his famous hero, Horatio Hornblower, aboard Pellew's ship as a midshipman, so this book tells, as it were, the actual stories of Hornblower's real-life shipmates. And what stories they were! From diverse backgrounds, aristocratic and humble, they bonded closely with Pellew, learned their naval leadership skills from him, and benefited from his patronage and his friendship in their subsequent, very varied careers. The group provides a fascinating snapshot of the later eighteenth-century sailing navy in microcosm. Besides tracing the men's naval lives, the book shows how they adapted to peace after 1815, presenting details of their civilian careers. The colourful lives recounted include those of the Honourable George Cadogan, son of an earl, who survived three courts martial and a duel to retire with honouras an admiral in 1813; Thomas Groube, of a Falmouth merchant family, who commanded a fleet of boats which destroyed the Dutch shipping at Batavia, capital of the Dutch East Indies, in 1806; and James Bray, of Irish Catholic descent, who was killed commanding a sloop during the American war of 1812. Heather Noel-Smith is a genealogist and a retired Methodist minister. Lorna Campbell is a digital education manager at the University of Edinburgh and an education technology consultant. They are both independent researchers.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. The most consequential Caribbean historian of her generation, Bridget Brereton has produced a string of innovative and path-breaking studies that have had a profound influence on the ways we have come to understand many of the major events in the area's history. This Work tips its hat to her contributions, as well as suggests ways to expand on the research agenda she has set. Taking its cue from Brereton, the essays are generally reader friendly in their exploration of the economic, social, economic, political and cultural history of the area. Brereton's work is always "balanced." So too are the contributions to this anthology. Complex societies, Brereton insists, demand complex histories. These essays do exactly that. Like her work, this collection also breaks through old historiographical boundaries. To its credit, the geographical and thematic coverage is comprehensive although, not surprisingly, Trinidad and Tobago attracts a plurality of interest. Its range and mix make this work one of a kind. There are other anthologies that cover aspects of the area's history, but nothing as comprehensive in its historical and thematic reach. It brings to mind Gordon Lewis's, The Growth of the Modern West Indies (1968) which for years was basic fare of graduate seminars. Lewis identified what he called Caribbean "characteristics." It was a house divided against itself in which parochial governing elites butted heads against outside liberal influences before and after emancipation, a place where status was symbolized by skin colour and an area, which with the collapse of King Sugar and emancipation, became a back water until World War II. This work expands on many of the same themes reaching beyond Lewis to cover all language areas.
