Libro Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. "Romantic Art" by William Vaughan was published in 1978 by Oxford University Press in its "The World of Art" series. It is an absorbing, eye-opening account of the progress of what is considered as 'romantic art', from ancient hints of its future dominance to its slow acculturation and absorption into the wider schemata of modern themes, styles, and genres in the late nineteenth century. Lots of wonderful pictures in both color and black-and-white. The text is scholarly, but far from dull. Good chapters on David, Blake, Friedrich and J. M. W. Turner, as well as many other artists too many to list.

Millions died; empires collapsed; new ideologies and political movements arose; poison gas, warplanes, tanks, submarines, and other technologies appeared. "Total war" emerged as a grim, mature reality. In The Great War, Peter Hart provides a masterful combat history of this global conflict. Focusing on the decisive engagements, Hart explores the immense challenges faced by the commanders on all sides. He surveys the belligerent nations, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and strategic imperatives. Russia, for example, was obsessed with securing an exit from the Black Sea, while France - having lost to Prussia in 1871, before Germany united - constructed a network of defensive alliances, even as it held a grudge over the loss of Alsace-Lorraine. Hart offers deft portraits of the commanders, the prewar plans, and the unexpected obstacles and setbacks that upended the initial operations. He concentrates on the Western and Eastern fronts, but also pays attention to important peripheral events, such as the war at sea, the fighting in Mesopotamia and Palestine, and the Italian front. In the Great War, for the first time, warfare ceased to consist of armies hunting for each other across the landscape and meeting in brief, decisive battles; now continuous lines stretched from the Channel to the Alps, from the Alps to the Adriatic. Hart also examines the changing weapons and tactics, from pioneering British tanks to Germany's devastating infiltration techniques. In the final analysis, Hart argues that France provided the bulwark of the forces and determination that defeated the Central Powers, but Britain tipped the balance, with the crucial help of American intervention.Coming just in time for the centennial of 1914, The Great War provides the definitive one-volume account of the twentieth century's defining event.

Subjects covered include strategy, command in war, the operations of the New Zealand armed forces, the home front, the scientific war, and the founding of the United Nations. General themes that emerge from the book include the strain New Zealandâs mobilization for war put on its human and material resources and the difficulty small nations have making their voices heard when matters of the utmost importance are being decided by their much more powerful allies.

Product Description:Despite Korea, despite Vietnam, despite a dozen smaller conflicts, a generation of Americans refers to World War II simply as "the War." Indeed, there has been nothing like it in human history: a single war that spanned three continents--a war which saw more men and women under arms, moredeaths, and more destruction than any other. Now Oxford University Press provides the definitive one-volume reference to this cataclysmic event.The Oxford Companion to World War II brings together an international team of 140 experts to cover every aspect of the conduct and experience of the conflict, from grand strategic decision making to the struggles of daily life. More than 1,700 entries--ranging from brief identifications to in-deptharticles on complex subjects--bring the far-flung elements and events of the war into focus. Here are essays on overarching themes and broad topics, such as the origins of the war, diplomacy, the Greater East Asia Coprosperity Sphere, and the Final Solution. Military campaigns and battles, ofcourse, receive extensive attention: entries include the Fall of France, Operation Barbarossa, and the Battle of Midway, as well as such smaller events as the sinking of the Scharnhorst and the fall of Wake Island. Scores of analytical biographies range from the national leaders--Hitler, Stalin,Tojo, Roosevelt, Churchill--to an array of military and political figures, from Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Ho Chi Minh, from Marshal Timoshenko to General von Manstein. World War II was also an era of technological leaps, covert exploits, and horrific atrocities--and the Companion gives thoroughcoverage to each, with articles on weapons ranging from tanks to E-boats to rockets, on intelligence organizations (ranging from the O.S.S. to Smersh), and on the German Einstatzgruppen and Todt organization.The Companion also provides exceptional coverage beyond the military and political spheres, revealing the war as it affected the millions of noncombatants. In addition to exploring the economics and social policies of belligerent states, the Companion addresses such topics as children--explaininghow hundreds of thousands were evacuated from threatened cities, thrown into combat, killed by bombing raids, or made into orphans. Indeed, the Companion's emphasis on the social history and daily experience of the war makes it the most complete one-volume reference on this critical chapter inhistory.In addition to thousands of entries, conveniently arranged in an a-to-z format, the book also features hundreds of maps, charts, tables, and evocative photographs. There is no finer resource on the war that shaped the modern world.

Product Description:In these final months of World War Two, all of Germany is ablaze, from daily bombing runs launched from just across its borders and incessant artillery fire from the east. In the west, the Allied progress was inexorable, with Eisenhower's seven armies taking on Germany's seven armies, town by town, bridge by bridge. With his customary narrative verve and utter mastery of the material, Caddick-Adams does these climactic final months full justice, from the capture of the Ludendorff Railway Bridge at Remagen, to the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, to the taking of Munich on Hitler's birthday, April 20th, and through to VE Day. Fire & Steel ends with the return of prisoners, demobilization of servicemen, and the beginning of the occupation of Germany.

Papier alters- und qualitätsbedingt gebräunt. - In the first edition of this revolutionary work on the Bronze Age of Greece and Crete Professor Palmer described how philological work on the Linear B texts recovered from the ruined palaces of the Mycenaean world had led him to question the correctness of Sir Arthur Evans's long canonical picture of Aegean prehistory. The work was already in the press when the documents of the Knossos excavations came to light and brought confirmation of his doubts. - Now Professor Palmer, after three years thorough study of these new sources, finds that his redating of the Knossos tablets is a comparatively minor matter, and that a much more fundamental reassessment is necessary. The new evidence affects all periods of Evans's famous 'systeme de classification', communicated in 1905 to an international congress: Early Minoan, Middle Minoan and Late Minoan. - In exposition of his latest results Professor Palmer has completely rewritten the second part of the book, which is now in effect a separate work. Chapter VII entitled 'Checking the Facts' acquaints the reader with the new evidence at key points of the argument. Chapter VIII on 'The Contlict of Scholars' surveys the reactions of Aegean archaeologists to this evidence and carries the war into their camp. - Professor Palmer also continues his examination of the Linear A texts and proposes new reasons for believing that the language belongs to the Anatolian group of Indo-European languages. In the revised first part of the book he incorporates the results of recent research into the Linear B texts. These additions will be of particular interest to students of ancient economic history and of the history of religion. - There are some new plates and figures, some of these illustrating important Knossos material from the notebooks of Evans's excavation.
