The Dissolution of the Monasteries
The first account of the dissolution of the monasteries for fifty years--exploring its profound impact on the people of Tudor England "This is a book about people, though, not ideas, and as a detailed account of an extraordinary human drama with a cast of thousands, it is an exceptional piece of historical writing."--Lucy Wooding, Times Literary Supplement Shortly before Easter, 1540 saw the end of almost a millennium of monastic life in England.

Education & the Great Depression
Education and the Great Depression: Lessons from a Global History examines the history of schools in terms of pedagogies, curricula, policies, and practices at the point of intersection with worldwide patterns of economic crisis, political instability, and social transformation. Examining the Great Depression in the historical contexts of Egypt, Turkey, Germany, Brazil, and New Zealand and in the regional contexts of the United States, including Virginia, New York City, Cleveland, Chicago, and South Carolina, this collection broadens our understanding of the scope of this crisis while also locating more familiar American examples in a global framework.
Mahler's Heavenly Retreats
Keith James Clarke, the architect who also has a passion for the music of Mahler used "archive photographs and measured surveys to create a set of architectural drawings that uniquely describe key buildings and the sites they occupy where Mahler composed. Crucially, the drawings recreate the environment Mahler knew during his day - not as it is today. With the aid of these drawings I use my expert knowledge of the notion of 'place' - the morphology of sites and my understanding of space - to evaluate key places in Mahler's life, the reasons for their importance and their associations with his music. In this book, a series of architectural, philosophical, environmental, aural, contextual, experiential, aesthetic and practical considerations reveal the roots of Mahler's inspiration."--Back cover.
