The Thirty Years War: Europe's Tragedy
ISBN: 9780674062313 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 1024 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A deadly continental struggle, the Thirty Years War devastated seventeenth-century Europe, killing nearly a quarter of all Germans and laying waste to towns and countryside alike. Peter Wilson offers the first new history in a generation of a horrifying conflict that transformed the map of the modern world. When defiant Bohemians tossed the Habsburg emperor's envoys from the castle windows in Prague in 1618, the Holy Roman Empire struck back with a vengeance. Bohemia was ravaged by mercenary troops in the first battle of a conflagration that would engulf Europe from Spain to Sweden....

Man, the Promising Primate - The Conditions of Human Evolution (Second Edition)
ISBN: 9780300029888 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In spite of recent advances in the study of evolution, scholars have shied away from the most intriguing problem of all--how and why animal nature became human nature. In confronting this problem, Peter Wilson leads his readers on a fascinating exploration. What made it possible, he asks, for one genus of the order Primates, living in Africa in the Plio-Pleistocene era, to become human and to develop culture? Continuing the tradition of bold speculation fathered by the philosophical anthropology of Hobbes and Rousseau, Wilson seeks to unravel the evidence for such basic human adaptations as...

Absolutism in Central Europe
ISBN: 9780415233514 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume is about the form of European monarchy known as absolutism, how it was defined by contemporaries, how it emerged and developed, and how it has been interpreted by historians, political and social scientists. Absolutism was once a certainty. It was seen as a distinct form of monarchy that dominated the European continent and defined an entire age. It co-ordinated and centralized power, pushing political development towards the modern state. It assisted in the monumental change from feudalism to capitalism and it was characterized by self-confident monarchs, such as Louis XIV. This...

Wojna trzydziestoletnia 1618-1648. Tragedia... w.2
ISBN: 9788365855169 / Polski / Twarda / 2017 / 848 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Nowa książka Petera Wilsona jest wielkim dziełem, pierwszą kompletną historią wojny powstałą od upływu pokolenia, a także fascynującą i świetnie napisaną próbą zrozumienia tych istotnych wydarzeń. Wielką zaletą Wilsona jest pozwolenie czytelnikowi na zrozumienie różnych motywacji, które skłaniały kolejnych władców do igrania z losami własnych krajów z tak przerażającymi skutkami. Znajdziemy tu główne postacie dramatu (Wallenstein, Ferdynand II, Gustaw Adolf, Richelieu), ale także przeżycia zwykłych żołnierzy i cywilów, desperacko starających się...

Lützen 1632
ISBN: 9783963600265 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2021 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Dieses Buch ist das erste, das die Analyse der Schlacht selbst mit einer Bewertung ihres kulturellen, politischen und militärischen Vermächtnisses verbindet, und überdies auch das erste, das die neuesten archäologischen Erkenntnisse für die Neubewertung der Ereignisse und ihrer Bedeutung berücksichtigt. Dabei stellt es die landläufige Ansicht in Frage, dass Lützen ein Meilenstein in der militärischen Entwicklung war, und argumentiert stattdessen, dass die Auswirkungen der Schlacht auf kultureller und politischer Ebene viel bedeutender waren.

Europe's Tragedy: A New History of the Thirty Years War
ISBN: 9780141006147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 1024 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Winner of the Society for Military History Distinguished Book Award 2011 The horrific series of conflicts known as the Thirty Years War (1618-48) tore the heart out of Europe, killing perhaps a quarter of all Germans and laying waste to whole areas of Central Europe to such a degree that many towns and regions never recovered. All the major European powers apart from Russia were heavily involved and, while each country started out with rational war aims, the fighting rapidly spiralled out of control, with great battles giving way to marauding bands of starving soldiers spreading plague and...

Iron and Blood: A Military History of the German-Speaking Peoples Since 1500
ISBN: 9780674987623 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 976 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the author of the acclaimed The Thirty Years War and Heart of Europe, a masterful, landmark reappraisal of German military history, and of the preconceptions about German militarism since before the rise of Prussia and the world wars. German military history is typically viewed as an inexorable march to the rise of Prussia and the two world wars, the road paved by militarism and the result a specifically German way of war. Peter Wilson challenges this narrative. Looking beyond Prussia to German-speaking Europe across the last five centuries, Wilson finds little unique or preordained in...

1848: The Year of Revolutions
ISBN: 9780754625698 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 580 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Europe was swept by a wave of revolution in 1848 that had repercussions stretching well beyond the Continent. Governments fell in quick succession or conceded significant reforms, before being rolled back by conservative reaction. Though widely perceived as a failure, the revolution ended the vestiges of feudalism, broadened civil society and strengthened the state prior to the rapid industrialisation and urbanisation of the latter part of the nineteenth century. This volume brings together essays from leading specialists on the international dimension, national experiences, political...

ISBN: 9780521483315 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the role of war and the development of the smaller German territories in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries through the example of the duchy of WUrttemberg. It reappraises traditional interpretations of German history that emphasize the role of Prussia and play down the significance of the smaller states. This is also the first comprehensive investigation of the relationship between developments within such territories and the structure of the Holy Roman Empire of which they formed a part. It reveals the Empire as a flawed but functioning political system and sheds...
