The Rise and Fall of the British Nation: A Twentieth-Century History
ISBN: 9780141975979 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 682 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) From the acclaimed author of Britains War Machine and The Shock of the Old, a bold reassessment of Britains twentieth century.
It is usual to see the United Kingdom as an island of continuity in an otherwise convulsed and unstable Europe; its political history a smooth sequence of administrations, from building a welfare state to coping with decline. Nobody would dream of writing the history of Germany, say, or the Soviet Union in this way. David Edgertons major new history breaks out of the confines of traditional British national history to redefine what it was to British, and to reveal...

Britain's War Machine: Weapons, Resources, and Experts in the Second World War
ISBN: 9780199832675 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The familiar image of the British in the Second World War is that of the plucky underdog taking on German might. David Edgerton's bold, compelling new history shows the conflict in a new light, with Britain as a very wealthy country, formidable in arms, ruthless in pursuit of its interests, and in command of a global production system. Rather than belittled by a Nazi behemoth, Britain arguably had the world's most advanced mechanized forces. It had not only a great empire, but allies large and small. Edgerton shows that Britain fought on many fronts and its many home fronts kept it...

Warfare State: Britain, 1920-1970
ISBN: 9780521672313 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This impressively researched and controversial book presents an alternative account of the development of one of the greatest states of the twentieth-century. It represents the culmination of David Edgerton's long-standing research on the relationship between science, technology, the military and the British state. Edgerton seeks to put the warfare state back into the history of twentieth-century Britain by restoring militarism, science and technology to that history and by challenging conventional accounts that centre on the notion of the welfare state and the narrative of British decline.

The Shock of the Old: Technology and Global History Since 1900
ISBN: 9780199832613 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) From the books of H.G. Wells to the press releases of NASA, we are awash in cliched claims about high technology's ability to change the course of history. Now, in The Shock of the Old, David Edgerton offers a startling new and fresh way of thinking about the history of technology, radically revising our ideas about the interaction of technology and society in the past and in the present. He challenges us to view the history of technology in terms of what everyday people have actually used-and continue to use-rather than just sophisticated inventions. Indeed, many highly touted...

England and the Aeroplane: Militarism Modernity and Machines
ISBN: 9780141975160 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The history of England and the aeroplane is one tangled with myths - of 'the Few' and the Blitz, of boffins, flying machines, amateur inventors and muddling through. In 'England and the Aeroplane' David Edgerton reverses received wisdom, showing that the aeroplane is a central and revealing aspect of an unfamiliar English nation: a warfare state dedicated to technology, industry, empire and military power. In a revelatory recounting of the story of aeronautical England, from its politics to its industry and culture, David Edgerton reconfigures some of the most important chapters of England's...

The Shock Of The Old: Technology and Global History since 1900
ISBN: 9781788163088 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 'It's rare for a book to make you see the world differently, but this ... does exactly that on almost every page' Guardian Standard histories of technology give tired accounts of the usual inventions, inventors, and dates, framing technology as the inevitable march of progress. They split history into ages - electrification, motorisation, and computerisation - and rarely ask whether anyone bothered to use these inventions at the time. Shock of the Old is not one of those histories. I Letters exist alongside emails and outlasted telegrams; we still make physical books and magazines...
