Dr. Johnson & Mr. Savage
ISBN: 9780679757702 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this outstanding, eminently readable work of literary scholarship, Holmes explores the enigmatic friendship between Samuel Johnson and the poet Richard Savage, whom Johnson memorialized in Lives of the Poets. Synthesizing a wide array of contradictory historical sources, from Johnson's Life of Savage to Boswell's Life of Johnson, the correspondence of Johnson's contemporaries and modern scholarship, Holmes shows that Savage was a notorious and alluring figure when Johnson first arrived in London in 1737. . . . "Holmes enlivens his study with keen insights into the...

Coleridge: Early Visions, 1772-1804
ISBN: 9780375705403 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Winner of the 1989 Whitbread Prize for Book of the Year, this is the first volume of Holmes's seminal two-part examination of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of Britain's greatest poets.
Coleridge: Early Visions is the first part of Holmes's classic biography of Coleridge that forever transformed our view of the poet of 'Kubla Khan' and his place in the Romantic Movement. Dismissed by much recent scholarship as an opium addict, plagiarist, political apostate and mystic charlatan, Richard Holmes's Coleridge leaps out of the page as a brilliant, animated and endlessly provoking...

Eine Quantenfeldtheorie mit Permutationssymmetrie
ISBN: 9786204304687 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Eine physikalische Theorie wird an ihrer Fähigkeit gemessen, eine vollständige, überzeugende und vereinheitlichende mathematische Beschreibung der beobachteten Eigenschaften der Materie zu liefern. Das Standardmodell erfüllt diese Kriterien in hohem Maße. Allerdings lässt die Theorie eine Vielzahl von Fragen offen, mit einer großen Anzahl von "Eingabe"-Parametern und einer Reihe von philosophischen Unzulänglichkeiten. So gibt es zum Beispiel keine theoretische Erklärung dafür, warum es drei beobachtete Teilchengenerationen gibt. Es gibt keine Erklärung für die Anordnung der Massen...

With this collection of short and fascinating biographical pieces, the award-winning biographer of Coleridge and Shelley offers a fascinating glimpse into the mysterious art of biography. When researching, Richard Holmes has often become captivated by figures peripheral to his main subject, literary forays that he couldn't resist. These tales-the forbidden love of John Stuart Mill, the bizarre novel of Oscar Wilde's tragic grand-uncle, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's nightmarish yet cathartic final trip to Paris-are part of what comprises Sidetracks, a marvelously original...

Despite being the most capable cavalry leader of his generation, Sir John French has always aroused controversy.

But French has another side, revealed in his private papers-- a side filled with affairs and personal torment. An esteemed Professor of Military and Security Studies tells French's compelling, dramatic story.

Fatal Avenue : A Traveller's History of the Battlefields of Northern France and Flanders 1346-1945
ISBN: 9781844139385 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A unique work combining military history and travel, which studies the most fought-over area on earth.
De Gaulle called it a "fatal avenue" -- that broad sweep of low-lying country stretching north east of Paris. Over the centuries, invading armies have swept back and forth over this bloody terrain, and the names of battles fought here read like a dictionary of military history -- from Agincourt, Calais and Crecy to Verdun, Vimy and Ypres. Fatal Avenue is both a history and a guide -- a unique study of a region that has witnessed more bitter military conflict than any other area of its...

The Sieges of Pontefract Castle 1644-1648
ISBN: 9781783312832 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The great Medieval castle of Pontefract in Yorkshire - where Richard II was held and murdered after his deposition - was besieged three times during the English Civil Wars. Held by Royalists and described by Oliver Cromwell no less as 'one of the strongest inland garrisons of the kingdom' the castle was slighted and left in ruins after it was finally taken by Parliament after the third and last siege during the second Civil War of 1648. This fine account of the three sieges, out of print since its publication in 1887, fills a much needed gap in studies of the military history of the...
