RMS Titanic in 50 Objects - Steve Hall - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

RMS Titanic in 50 Objects - Steve Hall - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

On 15 April 1912, passengers stood on a dimly lit Boat Deck, looking down at the lifeboats they were told to enter. In the freezing air, away from the warmth of the interior, they had to decide whether to enter a boat that would be lowered into darkness or remain on an ‘unsinkable’ ship. RMS Titanic in 50 Objects is a look at the world-famous liner through the objects that tell her story. Sheet music recovered from the body of a musician, a full-sized replica of her First Class Entrance Hall clock, a lifeboat from a fellow White Star Line ship – all of these objects and more come together to tell not only the tragedy of the ship herself, but also that of her passengers and crew. Lavishly illustrated and extensively researched by two of the world’s most foremost Titanic experts, this is her history brought to life like never before. **

A History of Ocean Liners in 50 Objects - Mark Berry - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A History of Ocean Liners in 50 Objects - Mark Berry - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Explore the history of ocean liners through the objects that bring them to life. Liners represented the ambitions of their nations in peace and war; their design, interiors and fittings incorporated the finest contemporary technological and artistic features. In peacetime they carried celebrities, vacationers and emigrants; while in war they carried thousands of troops – and then war brides seeking new lives. A History of Ocean Liners in 50 Objects takes in evolving technology, supreme luxury and fine cuisine, as well as hardship and the burning hope for a better life. There is peril, disaster and death, international pride and competition, glory and war. The objects tell a fascinating story, showing how the functional sea voyage has evolved from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century to the huge cruise industry we have today.

Beeching: 50 Years On - Anthony Poulton Smith - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Beeching: 50 Years On - Anthony Poulton Smith - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1963 Dr Beeching’s infamous report signalled the end for over 15,000 miles of track, a third of Britain’s stations, and for 70,000 jobs, as well as making irrevocable changes to the way of life of many consumers. Much misery was caused and Beeching’s name was muddied, but in hindsight the report probably did more than any other single factor to preserve the nation’s railway heritage. Without the Beeching cuts, much of the locomotives, stock, tracks, signals and signs would have crumbled, been forgotten or rotted. However, the gentle railway gradients lend themselves perfectly to walkways and cycle paths; buildings have been refurbished; memorabilia now commands prices at auction which would astonish those who painted the metal. And of course, the heritage lines continue to draw many thousands of visitors each year. After the initial shock of the cuts, this fresh appraisal considers these benefits and more, which may not have come about without the Beeching Report.

A History of Polar Exploration in 50 Objects - Anne Strathie - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A History of Polar Exploration in 50 Objects - Anne Strathie - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The objects in this book relate to a key period in polar exploration history, from the 1770s to the early 1930s. Today they are located worldwide, whether in polar regions, public spaces, museums and other repositories, or in private collections. Some objects were used by famous explorers, but more testify to important work by mariners, scientists, artists, photographers and filmmakers, or sometimes overlooked roles played by explorers’ relatives, sponsors and other supporters. They include: • Mrs Elizabeth Cook’s ‘ditty box’ • An innovative crow’s nest • Francis Crozier’s penguin specimen • An octant used in searches for John Franklin • A scientist’s portable paintbox • An expedition prospectus • An Antarctic Baby biplane • HMS Erebus ’s long-lost bell Collectively, the objects evidence a continuum of polar endeavour which, notwithstanding national ambitions and personal rivalries, reflect levels of international collaboration to which we should aspire when exploring or attempting to safeguard the increasingly fragile polar regions.

The Black Death in London - Barnie Sloane - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Black Death in London - Barnie Sloane - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Black Death of 1348–49 may have killed more than 50% of the European population. This book examines the impact of this appalling disaster on England''s most populous city, London. Using previously untapped documentary sources alongside archaeological evidence, a remarkably detailed picture emerges of the arrival, duration and public response to this epidemic and subsequent fourteenth-century outbreaks. Wills and civic and royal administration documents provide clear evidence of the speed and severity of the plague, of how victims, many named, made preparations for their heirs and families, and of the immediate social changes that the aftermath brought. The traditional story of the timing and arrival of the plague is challenged and the mortality rate is revised up to 50%–60% in the first outbreak, with a population decline of 40–45% across Edward III’s reign. Overall, The Black Death in London provides as detailed a story as it is possible to tell of the impact of the plague on a major mediaeval English city.

The Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Lindsey - Kevin Leahy - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Lindsey - Kevin Leahy - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Lindsey was a small Anglo-Saxon Kingdom that lay to the south of the Humber Estuary in what is now northern Lincolnshire. Though long neglected, over the last 50 years Lindsey has emerged from its own ''dark age'' to reappear as an Anglo-Saxon Kingdom , never powerful, usually on the edge of great events, but highly prosperous and sophisticated. Drawing on the evidence of cemeteries, settlements, finds, churches and place names, the author charts the Anglo-Saxon takeover to one of the richest areas in Roman Britain, the flourishing Christian culture of the eighth and ninth centuries, and then the Viking invasion of 877.

Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s - Phil West - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s - Phil West - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The 1990s was the last ‘golden era’ of motorcycling in Britain – particularly for today’s nostalgia-driven, 50-something bikers. Ground-breaking sports bikes included the likes of Honda’s original FireBlade, Yamaha’s R1 and Ducati’s iconic 916, with Britain’s Carl ‘Foggy’ Fogarty taking the latter to glory in the new World Superbike championship. A new breed of ‘hyperbike’, first led by Kawasaki’s 178mph ZZR1100 then Honda’s CBR1100XX Super Blackbird and Suzuki’s Hayabusa, took performance higher than ever before. It was also the decade that saw the return of historic British brand Triumph, Ducati’s novel Monster 900, Honda’s oval-pistoned NR750 and Yamaha’s wacky hub-centre GTS1000. All of these and many more are remembered and celebrated in Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s .
