Book Description
The year 2063 was destined to be a monumental one for Earth and its ever-growing population. For Zachary Mandelson, it was also an opportunity to be involved at the forefront of the first manned interstellar flight. Why, then, when the eyes of the world were focussed on what was to come, was he being haunted by dreams of a dozen prominent men from Earth's past who had all come to a violent end? Would the manner of their demise jeopardise the entire planet's future? NOTE- although this story is complete in its own right, it can also be read as a prequel to the novel 'Home Is Where The Star Is'

Man of the Century
Author: John Ramsden
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 9780231131063
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 696
Book Description
Man of the Century is the often surprising story of how Winston Churchill, in the last years of his life, carefully crafted his reputation for posterity, revealing him to be perhaps the twentieth century's first, and most gifted, "spin doctor." Ramsden draws on fresh material and extensive research on three continents to argue that the statesman's force of personality and romantic, imperial notion of Britain has contributed directly to many of the political debates of the last decades--including American involvement in Vietnam and the role of the Anglo-American alliance in promoting and protecting a certain vision of world order.

From Puritanism to Platonism in Seventeenth Century England
Author: James Deotis Roberts
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401191107
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
The research of Professor J. D. Roberts has interested me for several years. It has interested me because he has been working in a really rich area of intellectual history. Even before Professor Whitehead taught us to speak of the seventeenth century as the "century of genius," many of us looked with wonder on the creativity of the men who produced religious and philosophical literature in that period of contro versy and of power. It was, in a most unusual way, a flowering time of the human spirit. The present volume is devoted to one fascinating chapter in the history of ideas. We know now, far better than we knew a generation ago, how incendiary Puritan ideas really were. They had tremendous consequences, many of which continue to this day, in spite of the absurd caricature of Puritanism, which is popularly accepted. The best of Milton's contemporaries were great thinkers as well as great doers.

Twentieth-Century English History Plays

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
The history play is an extremely popular genre among English playwrights of this century, yet very little research has been done in the field. In particular, the sheer size and complexity of the subject appears to have prevented critics from attempting to arrive at a clear definition of the genre. This book examines the term 'history play' afresh, seeking to define more precisely the scope and the limits of the genre in relation to twentieth-century ideas of and attitudes to history.
