England
English history is a rich and complex subject that has had a major influence on the development of the language, laws, institutions, practices and ideas of many countries throughout the world. Just how did all of this originate over the centuries in this pleasant, green kingdom? This concise, illustrated volume traces the story from England's most distant past to the present day, highlighting important political and social developments, cultural achievements, and persons and events that have helped to make England's history so rich and colourful. This is a book for students, travellers, or those simply interested in England's vast heritage.
Wales
Thousands of people visit Wales each year and countless people all over the world are descendants, at least in part, from this small, beautiful part of the British Isles. Yet how many know the history that has made Wales and the Welsh people what they are today? Here is a clear, objective treatment by an American professor of history who has been keenly interested in Wales for many years. The book traces the key forces and developments through all the centuries of the country's history. Although Welsh history is complex and the strong nationalism it has generated among some Welsh people causes controversy, this book presents a balanced, unbiased account. Also includes history on the diverse nature of contemporary Wales.
Ireland
While it is easy to appreciate the natural beauty of Ireland, the Emerald Isle's history is also a rich and complex subject of study. Spanning prehistoric and Celtic Ireland to modern times, this concise, illustrated volume examines the people, religion, social changes, and politics that have evolved into the traditional of modern Ireland. Henry Weisser takes the reader on a journey through Ireland's past, to show how historic events have left an indelible mark in everything from architecture and economy, to the spirit and lifestyles of the Irish people.
Korea
From the time of the legendary Tan-Gun in the third millennium BC until the middle of the twentieth century, however, Korea was forced to weather many military and political storms. This volume depicts these political and social events, as well as Korea's profound spiritual and cultural heritage.
Arizona
Arizona is a fascinating land of lofty mountains, spectacular canyons, ponderosa forests, living deserts, great rivers, mighty dams, broad mesas, mines, ranches, farms and orchards -- a land of contrasts and contradictions, never fully understood, but always loved by those who know the state. In this inaugural volume, Patrick Lavin explores and illuminates this 'land of contrasts', whose history is varied and fascinating as its landscapes. Complemented by illustrations and photographs, this volume traces Arizona from the prehistoric days of the Paleo-Indians to its admission into the Union in 1912, and beyond into the twenty-first century.
Poland in World War II
Intermingles an account of Poland's participation in the military effort of World War II with factual human-interest stories.
Europe in 1848
The events of 1989/90 in Europe demonstrated the renewed relevance of the mid-nineteenth century uprisings: both by showing, once again, how a revolutionary initiative could quickly spread through different European countries, but also by calling into question the nature of revolution and the criteria for a revolution's success and failure. To commemorate the 1848 revolution in a spirit of renewed critical inquiry, an international team of prominent historians have come together to produce what must be the most comprehensive work on this topic to date and to offer a synthesis that sums up the current state of scholarly research, emphasizing the many new interpretations that have developed over several decades.
