Prosperity and Plunder: European Catholic Monasteries in the Age of Revolution, 1650-1815
ISBN: 9780521590907 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the Catholic countries of seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Europe, communities of monks and nuns were growing in number and wealth. They constructed vast buildings, dominated education, and played a large part in the practice and patronage of learning, music, and the arts. This lavishly-illustrated book offers a unique, comparative description of these communities--their wealth, growth, life, and importance--and then explains their catastrophic decline and fall between 1650 and 1815 by reforming rulers, the 'Enlightenment', and the French Revolution. Derek Beales, Professor...

From Castlereagh to Gladstone: 1815-1885
ISBN: 9780393003673 / Angielski / Miękka / 1969 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815, Britain was again pre-eminent among the great powers, and was to remain so for the next seventy years. Her colonial empire was far more extensive than that of any other country; London was the financial capital of the world; she had the largest navy and mercantile marine, the chief share of the world's trade, the highest manufacturing production, and the most progressive agriculture. From Castlereagh to Gladstone is a fresh and stimulating appraisal of this brilliant period in Britain's history. The age was characterized by an...

Joseph II: Volume 2, Against the World, 1780-1790
ISBN: 9780521324885 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 733 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This second and final volume of Derek Beales's magisterial biography of the emperor Joseph II describes the period when he was sole ruler of the Austrian monarchy. Influenced partly by Enlightenment ideals, Joseph relaxed censorship, introduced wide-ranging religious toleration and fostered a 'new Catholicism' whilst Mozart's music, the greatest cultural achievement of his reign, owed much to Joseph's patronage. He also abolished personal serfdom and diminished the nobles' power, seeking to achieve full personal control over all his provinces. Opposition became serious when his hyperactive...

Enlightenment and Reform in 18th-Century Europe
ISBN: 9781860649509 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The eighteenth century was a unique period of global and fundamental change. Britain conquered India and much of America, the American Revolution produced the USA, and Russia expanded vastly. In the field of ideas the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century was consolidated and followed by the Enlightenment. Nationalism flourished, populations surged and the Commercial and Industrial Revolutions with Western technology eclipsed the East. Few centuries have inspired such a galaxy of historians, and their groundbreaking work has been drawn upon by Derek Beales in his collection of...

Joseph II: Volume 1, in the Shadow of Maria Theresa, 1741-1780
ISBN: 9780521525886 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The emperor Joseph II (1741 90) tried to carry through something like a 'revolution from above' in the vast, varied, and mainly backward provinces of the Austrian Monarchy. This volume carries the story down to 1780. It describes the claustrophobic atmosphere, in which Joseph was trained to rule, his tragic marriages, and his attempts after 1765 as co-regent with his formidable mother, empress Maria Theresa, to dictate the domestic and foreign policy of the monarchy. The author shows that previous historians have been deceived by false sources and that the picture they have given of the...

History Society Church
ISBN: 9780521021890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book contains essays within a common theme by a group of distinguished historians (some of them acknowledged world leaders in their fields) in honour of the just-retired Regius Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge, whose contribution to religion, education and history has been recognised by the award of a knighthood and, more recently, by the Order of Merit. Their common interest is the same one that has marked Professor Chadwick's life and work: the centrality of religious history to the history of Europe and, through that, to world history as a whole.
