Winchester Shotguns
Author: Dennis Adler
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 151070924X
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 926
Book Description
In the study and appreciation of American history, and in understanding the crucial role played by firearms in that extraordinary saga, one of the most famous gunmakers is Winchester. Their products are so much in demand that they indisputably hold the title of the Blue Chips of gun collecting. And while a notable amount of literature on these marques has appeared in print, much of it from the period of post-World War II, there are still major categories which demand focused books. Such works are in response not only to the "need to know" from students, historians and collectors, but also are a powerful reflection of the ever-expanding explosion of interest in the magical world of firearms. The study of arms is a highly visual, and technical, pursuit. Having the objects sitting on a page, as if they are on the reader's desk, is a true delight. Few photographers can equal those images of excellence. And no one today can match his combination of skill, aptitude and artistry at doing both text and photographs

Book Description
in 1985 Simon Winchester, struck by a sudden need to discover exactly what was left of the British Empire, set out across the globe to visit the far-flung islands that are all that remain of what once made Britain great. He travelled 100,000 miles back and forth from Antarctica to the Caribbean, from Mediterranean to the Far East, to capture a last glint of imperial glory. His adventures in these distant and forgotten ends of the earth make compelling and often funny reading and tell a story most of us had thought was over: a tale of the last outposts in Britain's imperial career and of those who keep the flag flying.

Licoricia of Winchester

Category : Jewish businesspeople
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
among medieval writers. Was jealousy of the family's power the reason that Licoricia was so brutally killed? Was Benedict's involvement in local politics and shady deals to blame for the resentment that built up around him? Or was Licoricia's death merely a symptom of the increasing tensions between Christians and Jews in medieval England in the run-up to the Expulsion of the latter from the kingdom in 1290?" "The micro-history of Licoricia and her family sheds new light on the Jewish community in medieval Winchester, itself strangely neglected by scholars. It reveals to the reader something of the social life of the Jewish enclave in this period, and demonstrates the extensive communication networks between Jewish communities, as well as the tribulations they suffered of regular, punitive taxation and arbitrary imprisonments. By using Licoricia's family as an example of the impact such measures had, Bartlet demonstrates the gradual deterioration in the conditions of even the --
