France in the Sixteenth Century
ISBN: 9780312158569 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Both the golden age of the Renaissance state and the catastrophic era of the Wars of Religion, this fascinating period in French history has been oddly neglected by English-language historians. Professor Baumgartner's book fills a major gap in the textbook market: an accessible, fully current account which covers the principal political, economic and cultural themes from Francois I's successful centralization of the state, through France's near prostration under the Catholic-Huguenot civil war, and ending with the accession of Henri IV.

From Spear to Flintlock: A History of War in Europe and the Middle East to the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780275939557 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a fast-paced survey of the history of war in the Eurasian world from classical Greece to the French Revolution. Defining the period as the era of pre-industrial warfare, Frederic Baumgartner describes the broad differences, as well as the similarities, in the armies through those 2,000 years. He suggests that the Greek hoplite, the Roman legionary, the nomadic horse archer, the medieval knight, the Swiss pikeman, the early musketeer, and other military types have more in common with each other than with the soldier of the twentieth century. Although he concentrates on the wars and... This is a fast-paced survey of the history of war in the Eurasian world from classical Greece to the French Revolution. Defining the period as the ... |

ISBN: 9780312238346 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Jonestown, Waco, and Heaven's Gate resonate in the contemporary mind in the same way that Masada or Mount Tabor resonated in the minds of others long past.

Louis XII
ISBN: 9780312161736 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The reign of Louis XII (1498-1515) has been much neglected by historians.

While not in the front rank of French monarchs, Louis XII, 'The Father of the People', remains an interesting and appealing figure, and the events of his reign (the Valois-Habsburg wars in Italy, Louis' bitter disputes with Pope Julius II, the complications of his marriages) had a profound effect on the...
