Cricket's Pure Pleasure: Middlesex v. Yorkshire, September 2015
ISBN: 9781523688555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. CRICKET'S PURE PLEASURE is the account, in words and images, of a remarkable four-day game of cricket played at Lord's in September 2015 between Yorkshire and Middlesex. It opened with high drama when Yorkshire's Ryan Sidebottom bowled a triple-wicket maiden at the start of the game, and closed spectacularly on the fourth day when Yorkshire suffered a batting collapse. In between was a magnificent 149 from Nick Compton that led the way in wresting the initiative from Yorkshire. To these ingredients were added the absorbing attritional cricket that makes the long form of the game so...

On 23rd September 2016, the last day of the County Championship, three teams were in contention to win it.

Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War
ISBN: 9780415165525 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Understanding the history of Athens in the all important years of the second half of the fifth century B.C. is largely dependent on the work of the historian Thucydides. Previous scholarship has tended to view Thucydides' account as infallible.
This book challenges that received wisdom, advancing original and controversial views of Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War; his misrepresentation of Alcibiades and Demosthenes; his relationship with Pericles; and his views on the Athenian Empire. Cawkwell's comprehensive analysis of Thucydides and his historical writings is persuasive,...

The Greek Wars : The Failure of Persia
ISBN: 9780198148715 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Greek Wars treats of the whole course of Persian relations with the Greeks from the coming of Cyrus in the 540s down to Alexander the Great's defeat of Darius III in 331 BC. Cawkwell discusses from a Persian perspective major questions such as why Xerxes' invasion of Greece failed, and how important a part the Great King played in Greek affairs in the fourth century. Cawkwell's views are at many points original: in particular, his explanation of how and why the Persian invasion of Greece failed challenges the prevailing orthodoxy, as does his view of the importance of Persia in Greek...

Belaboured. Bats Broken. Britain Shaken.: a personal account of the 2017 general election
ISBN: 9781548583378 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. BELABOURED. BATS BROKEN. BRITAIN SHAKEN is an essay about the UK's travails during the General Election of 2017, punctuated as it was by a series of murderous public events. The result was a hung parliament that illustrates the profound uncertainty that Britons feel about their role in the world. It is a personal account of the author's involvement as an infantryman in Norwich South - and it is dedicated to the 'poor, bloody infantry' who do the foot-slogging at election time. More than this it is an account of emotions recollected in tranquillity, the emotion caused by the dismal result of...

An essay about the Italian hill-town of Tivoli near Rome, famous for its 16th-century garden and fountains at the Villa d'Este. But Tivoli is also the place of the Parco Villa Gregoriana, a natural park graced by a round temple on a cliff that has inspired artists for centuries. Nearby too is Hadrian's villa, the grandest of its kind in the Roman world. These three places have exerted an enormous influence on European garden design, most notably in England. The town is a storehouse of history and culture, and tens of thousands of people go there each year. What visitors have lacked until now...

UK Communication Strategies for Afghanistan, 2001-2014
ISBN: 9781472473523 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The war in Afghanistan came to an end in 2014 after nearly thirteen years of conflict. Throughout that period, British officials have described UK operations there in various conflicting and often contradictory ways; as a counter-terrorism mission, a stabilisation mission, and a counter-narcotics mission, respectively. This book investigates how the war was 'sold' to the British public and how Britain's 'transnational' foreign and defence policy impacted on the unfolding of UK strategy in Afghanistan and the way it was communicated. It argues that because the UK's foreign and defence policy...
