No Jacket. ## Apocalypses by Eugen Weber 2000 - Prophecies, Cults and Millennial Beliefs Through The Ages ### 7 ## THIS BOOk: Classified: USED FINE, it is the 2000 Edition. The book was first published in 2000. It has a full-coloured, laminated cover, matte finish, and tight spine. There may be some pencil marks in some margins.### We provide images of all our books and maps so you know what you buy. READ ON for more information and details. ## ## Overview: In this profound and elegant work, Eugen Weber takes us on a journey across time, from ancient civilisations to the present day, unravelling the tapestry of apocalyptic thought. Here are the key insights from his exploration:## 1. Ancient Origins: Weber begins by examining the roots of apocalyptic beliefs in both Western and Eastern traditions. From Zarathustra to the Jews and earliest Christians, an unwavering conviction in the ultimate clash between good and evil permeated ancient societies.- This belief fueled historical events, inspiring Crusades, scientific discoveries, artistic creations, and even voyages like Christopher Columbus. ## 2. Apocalyptic Pulse: - Over centuries, apocalyptic fervour persisted. American abolitionists, pivotal in the fight against slavery, held firm to the idea of a final reckoning.- The nineteenth and twentieth centuries witnessed a shift toward the fringe, with apocalyptic movements sometimes veering into the realm of the eccentric. ## 3. Detective Work: Weber turns detective, uncovering alternative rationalities across continents. He reveals the diverse expressions of millennial thought from the West to Asia, Africa, and South America. - His storytelling prowess combines with historical rigour, breathing life into these forgotten creeds.## 4. Our Second Millennium: - As we approach our second millennium, Weber's book serves as a map of understanding. In an era rife with apocalyptic predictions and cults, we ignore these ancient beliefs at our peril.## ## Chapters and Themes: 1. Chronologies and Fins de Sičcle: # 2. Apocalypses and Millenarianisms:# 3. In Dark and Bloody Times: # 4. Revivalists and Antichrists: # 5. Apocalypse and Science: # 6. Enlightenment?: # 7. Apocalypse in Worldly Times: # 8. Pursuits of the Millennium: # 9. Times Noblest Offspring: # 10. The Twentieth Century:## ## Conclusion: Weber's meticulous research and eloquent prose breathe life into forgotten narratives. As we grapple with our uncertainties, "Apocalypses" reminds us that the echoes of ancient beliefs still resonate in our modern world.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Trade Paperback in wonderful condition, tiny bit of upturn on the front corners, clean, and tightly bound. "Although numerous studies focus on the origins, course, and consequences of World War I, few examine the process of how the war ended. Dallas, an independent scholar living in France and author of 1815: Roads to Waterloo, analyzes how peace broke out in 1918. The strength of Dallas's narration is that he compares events and people in Berlin, Paris, London, Washington, DC, and Moscow. By analyzing how the ceasefire was arranged, who the major participants were, and how the general population learned about the armistice, we gain insight into the lingering bitterness of the peace and interwar years.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Trade Paperback. Trade Paperback. In 1928, Winston Churchill seemed to be at the very height of his career. He was Chancellor of the Exchequer, and when he spoke in the House of Commons, MPs of every party flocked to hear his oratory. The leadership of the all-powerful Conservative Party seemed within his grasp. A year later, however, all had changed. The Conservatives themselves were defeated and out of office; Churchill found himself at odds with the leadership, especially over the future of India. When the National Government was formed in 1931, Churchill was not asked to join it. Thereafter, though out on his own, Churchill's acute political sense, foresight and courage were undiminished. Fed with secret inside information by a small, brave bond of men - some of them risking their careers to help him - Churchill consistently warned of the Nazi danger, even before the rise of Hitler. And once Hitler came to power, he stepped up his attackes on Britain's faliure to rearm. His message was belittled by the Governmnet, which fought him at every turn, even refusing him the right to broadcase. But Churchill never gave up. Despite all the Government's efforts, and as a result of Churchill's courage and perserverance, the British people came to realise the truth of his warnings - the bond was formed that was to be so vital in the years that followed, when Britain and Churchill stood together, but alone.

Soft Cover 0712666745 Lancaster And York: The Wars of the Roses A riveting account of the Wars of the Roses, focusing on the human side of the story.The war between the houses of Lancaster and York for the throne of England was characterized by treachery, deceit and, at St. Albans, Blore Hill and Towton, some of the bloodiest and most dramatic battles on England s soil. Between 1455 and 1487, the royal coffers were bankrupted and the conflict resulted in the downfall of the House of Lancaster and the House of York, and the emergence of the illustrious Tudor dynasty.Alison Weir s lucid and gripping account focuses on the human side of history, on the people and personalities involved in the conflict. At the centre of the book stands Henry VI, the pious king whose mental instability led to political chaos; Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York and Henry s rival; and most important of all, Margaret of Anjou, Henry s wife who took up arms in her husband s cause and battled for many years in a violent man s world.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. 1st Paperback Edition Nelson. A Dream of Glory. There have been numerous biographies of Nelson, but most fail to penetrate the mythology encrusting Britains greatest naval hero and none had been based upon a thorough overhaul of the original sources. The author has examined thousands of navel, military, diplomatic and personal documents, many unused be previous Nelson scholars. He has ruthlessly stripped away the legends and brilliantly reconstructed Nelson's private and public life. This book charts the period of Nelson's career most neglected by earlier writers - from childhood to his debut as a public hero, after the breathtaking vistory against the Spanish fleet at Cape St. Vincent, when he became an admiral and stood on the verge of international fame. Dealing with every facet of Nelson's crowded life - the man, the naval officer and the Georgian - the autho offers the only full account of Nelson's early voyages and the first complete analysis of the formative incidents in his career, including his conflict with civil and naval superiors in the West Indies, his campaigns in Corsica and his almost forgotten service as a commodore in the Mediterranean. Throughout there are revealing and sometimes startling discoveries about his relationships with his family, patrons, officers and men, and with his women.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. 1st Paperback Edition. The First World War. Price clipped. The First World War created the modern world. A conflict of unparreled ferocity, which extended far beyond its Eruopean epicentre, it broke the century of relative peace and prosperity which we associate with the Victorian era and unleashed the demons of the twentieth century - pestilence, military destruction and mass death - and also the ideas which continue to shape our world today - modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, and radical ideas about economics and society. It was of course foremost a military conflict, and the battles on land, sea and in the air form the narrative heart of his study, with some fascinating new interpretations of the military events. But the war also acted as a formidable engine for change throughout the world, and this too is brilliantly revealed in this book. At its heart, however, is the terrible human cost of this unparrleled conflict, the loss which, however vastly extended, remains personal and individual.

Paperback. pictorial & white wraps w/ white printing; black spine. 548 pgs w/ sections of bw illustrations. The Carlyles lived at the heart of English life in mid-Victorian London, but both were outsiders. A largely self-educated pair from Scotland, they often took a caustic look at the society they so influencedâ"Thomas through his writings and both through their network of acquaintences and correspondents. Thomas would write about matters of the day, while Jane would tell tales of everything from turmoil with dust to Dickens at a party. Yet despite everything, Jane suffered as Thomas grew infatuated with the lion-hunting Lady Ashburton, and the tensions in their own marriage made them sensitive to contemporary debates about the position of women, divorce, legitamacy, and prostitution. This joint biography describes their relationship with each other, from their first meeting in 1821 to Jane's death in 1866, and their relationship with the outside world.--Amazon.
