Download or read book Place Names of the World Europe written by J. Everett-Heath and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Place names are a window into the history and characteristics of a country. Their names reflect the migrations of peoples, their religious and cultural traditions, local languages, conquests and fortifications long since disappeared. They also reflect the topography and industrial development of a place. The text is ordered by country alphabetically. The book will include a historical section, putting the place name into context, and references those events, which have had an impact on the geography of a country, and those foreign influences, which have played a part in shaping the place name. This volume is confined to the 38 countries of Europe, together with Andorra, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, Cyprus and the Vatican City. All place names of cities and towns of particular importance and interest are included. Detailed maps accompany the text to illustrate change and evolution.
Download or read book Leading Figures in European History written by Richard Phillipson Dunn-Pattison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Figures in European History There are many people who, while genuinely interested in history, have never, either from want of time or opportunity, read a consecutive history of Europe. They have a general idea of certain periods like the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Revolution. With these epochs they connect the names of certain great men which are practically on everybody's lips: but, when they come to think about it, they find they have a very shadowy idea of their lives and characters. It was suggested to me that here lay a want which might be supplied by means of a book containing a series of biographies which more or less covered the whole of European history. Consequently, in writing this book my object has been to present to the general reader, and to the student busily engaged with other subjects, a succession of sketches of the leading figures of the past, illustrating the growth of ideas and principles which have contributed to form present-day Europe.

Download or read book War in European History written by Michael Howard and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published over thirty years ago, War in European History is a brilliantly written survey of the changing ways that war has been waged in Europe, from the Norse invasions to the present day. Far more than a simple military history, the book serves as a succinct and enlightening overview of the development of European society as a whole over the last millennium. From the Norsemen and the world of the medieval knights, through to the industrialized mass warfare of the twentieth century, Michael Howard illuminates the way in which warfare has shaped the history of the Continent, its effect on social and political institutions, and the ways in which technological and social change have in turn shaped the way in which wars are fought. This new edition includes a fully updated further reading and a new final chapter bringing the story into the twenty-first century, including the invasion of Iraq and the so-called 'War against Terror'.
