ISBN: 9781903425886 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. North Lincolnshire and Humberside is an area with more than its fair share of violent history. Although mainly rural, the region has been notorious in the annals of crime, from the rebellion known as the Pilgrimage of Grace (1536) to the sensational murder cases of the twentieth century.

Harry de Windt (1856-1933) was a man who, by any standards, was a personality, a marked presence in the world of Victorian and Edwardian literature and social life. He was a member of the literary circle around Oscar Wilde and his friend and lover, Bosie (Lord Alfred Douglas); he was active in the world of the turf; and he traveled - he took on dangerous journeys with relish, crossing vast tracts of the British and Russian empires for the sheer thrill of it. This book traces his life and adventures, at home and abroad, and also gives an account of his early work on military service in...

Whether you simply treat this book as a different kind of journal, or whether you use it as a basis for creative writing, the result will be...

Spies in the Empire: Victorian Military Intelligence
ISBN: 9781843312628 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There have been a great many books written on military intelligence and the secret services rooted in the twentieth century; however there is very little covering the activities of the men involved in the establishment of this fascinating institution. Its origins lie in the British Army: from the beginnings in the Topographical Department to the Boer War, when various factors made the foundation work of the eventual MI5 (founded in 1909) possible. Incredibly, there were two vast armies in the 1840s, both serving the state and Queen, yet no formally organized military intelligence bureau....

Rejected: Literary Failure and My Contribution to It
ISBN: 9780999136515 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A good writer is a good reader. But of all the things a writer reads, nothing is more moving, more soul-wrenching than a slip of paper (or an email) reading "Rejected " It's a life-changing thing. Stephen Wade's life has thus been changed many times. If you're a writer you know what the experience is like. Out of a spirit of melancholy collegiality, Stephen Wade offers some hard-won advice - if not also consolation - for writers facing the opposite of acceptance: Rejection.

Tales from the Big House: Normanby Hall: 400 Years of Its History and People
ISBN: 9781473893399 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tales from the Big House: Normanby Hall tells the story of a place known perhaps today mainly as the home where Samantha Cameron grew up, but historically it has been the seat of the Sheffield family, whose most famous member was arguably the Duke of Buckingham in the seventeenth century. As with most country houses, the Hall was used as a military hospital in the Great War, and in the Second World War there were military personnel based there again. It stands just a few miles from the great steelworks on the Brigg Road, which have always defined Scunthorpe, so it played its part in the...
