W H Allen Rule, Nostalgia. A Backwards History of Britain Woods Hannah Rose

If Britain's maritime history were embodied in a single ship, she would have a prehistoric prow, a mast plucked from a Victorian steamship, the hull of a modest fishing vessel, the propeller of an ocean liner and an anchor made of stone. We might call her Asunder, and, fantastical though she is, we could in fact find her today, scattered in fragments across the country's creeks and coastlines • In his moving and original new history, Tom Nancollas goes in search of eleven relics that together tell the story of Britain at sea. From the swallowtail prow of a Bronze Age vessel to a stone ship moored at a Baroque quayside, each one illuminates a distinct phase of our adventures upon the waves; each brings us close to the people, places and vessels that made a maritime nation

Как и «Время войны» для 1940-х годов, эта книга охватит широкий спектр событий 1930-х годов с точки зрения современников, почерпнутых из столичных и провинциальных писем и дневников, газет, периодических изданий, книг и богатого материала, доступного в Британская библиотека • Дж. Б. Пристли классно описал «три Англии», которые он увидел в 1930-е годы: старую Англию, Англию девятнадцатого века и новую, послевоенную Англию. Британия тридцатых годов действительно была страной контрастов, одновременно страной, потерявшей надежду из-за Депрессии, безработицы и международной напряженности, но также и местом самодовольных домовладельцев пригородов с маленьким Остином в каждом гараже • Теперь Джульет Гардинер, признанный автор отмеченной наградами книги «Военное время», предлагает свежий взгляд на это беспокойное, неопределенное и амбициозное десятилетие, оживляя сложный опыт Британии тридцатых годов через газеты, журналы, мемуары, письма и дневники

A radical retelling of the history of science that foregrounds the scientists erased from history • In this major retelling of the history of science from 1450 to the present day, James Poskett explodes the myth that science began in Europe • The blinkered Western gaze focusing on individual 'genius' - Copernicus, Newton, Darwin, Einstein - was only one part of the story. The reality was an utterly global, non-linear pattern of cross-fertilization, competition, cooperation and outright conflict. Each rupture in history carved fresh channels for global exchange • Here, for the first time, Poskett celebrates how scientists from Africa, America, Asia and the Pacific were integral to this very human story. We meet Graman Kwasi, the African botanist who discovered a new cure for malaria; Hantaro Nagaoka, the Japanese scientist who first described the structure of the atom; and Zhao Zhongyao, the Chinese physicist who discovered antimatter

"Изношенный. Народная история одежды" - это тонко переплетенная история одежды и того, откуда она берется • Лен, хлопок, шелк, синтетика, шерсть: рассказывая истории этих пяти тканей, Софи Танхаузер по-новому освещает мир, в котором мы живем, путешествуя из Китая в Камбрию, чтобы рассказать о ремесле, труде и промышленности, которые создают одежду, которую мы носим • Книга на английском языке • A finely spun history of clothes and where they come from • Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, Wool: through the stories of these five fabrics, Sofi Thanhauser illuminates the world we inhabit in a startling new way, travelling from China to Cumbria to reveal the craft, labour and industry that create the clothes we wear • From the women who transformed stalks of flax into linen to clothe their families in nineteenth century New England to those who earn their dowries in the cotton-spinning factories of South India today, this book traces the origins of garment-making through time and around the world

What is autism: a devastating developmental condition, a lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is all of these things and more – and the future of our society depends on our understanding it • Following on from his groundbreaking article ‘The Geek Syndrome’, Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years • Going back to the earliest autism research and chronicling the brave and lonely journey of autistic people and their families through the decades, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle while casting light on the growing movement of ‘neurodiversity’ and mapping out a path towards a more humane world for people with learning differences
