Viking Berlin. Life and Loss in the City That Shaped The Century McKay Sinclair

На протяжении всего двадцатого века Берлин находился в центре судорожно меняющегося мира. Эту историю часто рассматривают как отдельные акты: страдания Первой мировой войны, космополитический город науки, культуры и сексуальной свободы, которым стал Берлин, резкое падение экономики, приход нацистов, разрушения Второй мировой войны, психоз геноцида и город, расколотый надвое конкурирующими идеологиями. Но люди не проживают свою жизнь в фиксированных эпохах. Эпоха заканчивается, а люди продолжают жить - или пытаются жить - так же, как и раньше. Берлин рассказывает историю города глазами не правителей, а тех, кто ходил по его улицам • В этой магической биографии города и его жителей историк-бестселлер Синклер Маккей проливает новый свет на известных персонажей - от ученого-идеалиста Альберта Эйнштейна до нацистского архитектора Альберта Шпеера - и опирается на никогда ранее не встречавшиеся рассказы от первого лица, чтобы познакомить нас с людьми из всех слоев берлинской жизни

The original India Pale Ale was pure gold in a glass; a semi-mythical beer specially invented, in the 19th century, to travel halfway around the world, through storms and tropical sunshine, and arrive in perfect condition for a long, cold drink on an Indian verandah. But although you can still buy beers with 'IPA' on the label they are, to be frank, a pale imitation of the original • For the first time in 140 years, a keg of Burton IPA has been brewed with the original recipe for a voyage to India by canal and tall ship, around the Cape of Good Hope; and the man carrying it is the award-winning Pete Brown, Britain's best beer write. Brazilian pirates and Iranian customs officials lie ahead, but will he even make it that far, have fallen in the canal just a few miles out of Burton? And if Pete does make it to the other side of the world with 'Barry' the barrel, one question remains: what will the real IPA taste like? • Weaving first-class travel writing with assured comedy, Hops and Glory is both a rollicking, raucous history of the Raj and a wonderfully entertaining, groundbreaking experiment to recreate the finest beer ever produced

Houses of Power is the result of Simon Thurley's thirty years of research, picking through architectural digs, and examining financial accounts, original plans and drawings to reconstruct the great Tudor houses and understand how these monarchs shaped their lives • What was it like to live as a royal Tudor? • Why were their residences built as they were and what went on inside their walls? • Who slept where and with who? • Who chose the furnishings? • And what were their passions? • The Tudors ruled through the day, throughout the night, in the bath, in bed and in the saddle. Their palaces were genuine power houses - the nerve-centre of military operations, the boardroom for all executive decisions and the core of international politics • Far more than simply an architectural history - a study of private life as well as politics, diplomacy and court - it gives an entirely new and remarkable insight into the Tudor world

A fascinating insight into the untold story of how British-French rivalry drew the battle-lines of the modern Middle East • In 1916, in the middle of the First World War, two men secretly agreed to divide the Middle East between them. Sir Mark Sykes was a visionary politician; Francois Georges-Picot a diplomat with a grudge. They drew a line in the sand from the Mediterranean to the Persian frontier, and together remade the map of the Middle East, with Britain’s 'mandates' of Palestine, Transjordan and Iraq, and France's in Lebanon and Syria • Over the next thirty years a sordid tale of violence and clandestine political manoeuvring unfolded, told here through a stellar cast of politicians, diplomats, spies and soldiers, including T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle

'Extraordinary... Cozzens has stripped the myth from these stories, but he is such a superb writer that what remains is exquisite' The Times • At the end of the Civil War, the American nation continued its expansion onto tribal lands, setting off a struggle that would last nearly three decades. Peter Cozzens chronicles the conflict from both sides in comprehensive and singularly intimate detail, bringing together a pageant of fascinating characters, including Custer, Sherman and Grant, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and Red Cloud.

The untold story of the remarkable young men who played a central role in the history of British horticulture and helped to shape the way we garden today • In 2012, whilst working at the Royal Horticultural Society’s library, Fiona Davison unearthed a book of handwritten notes that dated back to 1822. The notes, each carefully set out in neat copperplate writing, had been written by young gardeners in support of their application to be received into the Society’s Garden • Amongst them was an entry from the young Joseph Paxton, who would go on to become one of Britain’s best-known gardeners and architects. But he was far from alone in shaping the way we garden today and now, for the first time, the stories of the young, working-class men who also played a central role in the history of British horticulture can be told
