Download or read book England s Schools written by Elain Harwood and published by Historic England. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of us, school was our first detailed experience of a building outside the homes of our parents, friends and relations. Many people react emotionally when their old school, charged with so many memories, is closed or demolished. Not all school buildings are worthy of designation, but many are major local landmarks and demonstrate an important part of our society's evolution. This book aims to raise awareness of the wide range of school buildings built in England from the Reformation to the Millennium, and discusses which buildings may be worthy of greater appreciation and preservation. It summarises the development of schools and analyses how social attitudes have been expressed in their architecture and planning. Finally, it looks at the adaptation of older schools to modern needs and new uses for schools around the country, drawing on examples of best practice from Historic Building Inspectors and Advisers.

Download or read book The Shortest History of England Empire and Division from the Anglo Saxons to Brexit A Retelling for Our Times Shortest History written by James Hawes and published by The Experiment, LLC. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the most powerful country in the UK was forged by invasion and conquest, and is fractured by its north-south divide. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. England—begetter of parliaments and globe-spanning empires, star of beloved period dramas, and home of the House of Windsor—is not quite the stalwart island fortress that many of us imagine. Riven by an ancient fault line that predates even the Romans, its fate has ever been bound up with that of its neighbors; and for the past millennia, it has harbored a class system like nowhere else on Earth. This bracing tour of the most powerful country in the United Kingdom reveals an England repeatedly invaded and constantly reinvented—yet always fractured by its very own Mason-Dixon Line. It carries us swiftly through centuries of conflict between Crown and Parliament (starring the Magna Carta), America’s War of Independence, the rise and fall of empire, two World Wars, and England’s break from the EU. We discover: why the American colonists of 1776 believed that they were the true Anglo-Saxons how the British Empire was undermined from within why Winston Churchill said the UK could only be saved by splitting up England itself and how populism spawned Brexit and its “new elite.” The Shortest History of England brings all this and more to prescient life—offering the most direct, compelling route to understanding the country behind today’s headlines.

Download or read book School History of England Classic Reprint written by A. B. Berard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School History of England The design of the volume now od'ored to the kindly consideration of Parents and Teachers, is, to combine a history of the social life of the English people, with that of the civil and military trans actions of the realm. A nation's religion, literature, science, art, and commerce, are certainly as important topics in the consideration of its history, as those connected with military operations and civil government. It is hoped, therefore, that the attention given to both these departments, may win for the accompanying volume, a place among the useful books written for the instruction of the young. A visit to England during the preparation of the volume, gave at least such increased interest in the subject of the work, as may add to its value, especially in the eyes of those who prize a book written con amore.

Book excerpt: Niall Ferguson's acclaimed bestseller on the highs and lows of Britain's empire 'A remarkably readable précis of the whole British imperial story - triumphs, deceits, decencies, kindnesses, cruelties and all' Jan Morris Once vast swathes of the globe were coloured imperial red and Britannia ruled not just the waves, but the prairies of America, the plains of Asia, the jungles of Africa and the deserts of Arabia. Just how did a small, rainy island in the North Atlantic achieve all this? And why did the empire on which the sun literally never set finally decline and fall? Niall Ferguson's acclaimed Empire brilliantly unfolds the imperial story in all its splendours and its miseries, showing how a gang of buccaneers and gold-diggers planted the seed of the biggest empire in all history - and set the world on the road to modernity. 'The most brilliant British historian of his generation ... Ferguson examines the roles of "pirates, planters, missionaries, mandarins, bankers and bankrupts" in the creation of history's largest empire ... he writes with splendid panache ... and a seemingly effortless, debonair wit' Andrew Roberts 'Dazzling ... wonderfully readable' New York Review of Books 'Empire is a pleasure to read and brims with insights and intelligence' Sunday Times
Download or read book A School History of England written by John J. Anderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History of England The object of this work is to supply to teachers and students a history of England containing the features of the author's popular school histories of the United States. Accordingly, the text has been made brief, but clear and explicit; questions have been appended at the foot of each page, to aid in study and recitation, and review questions added at the end of each section, for the purpose of practising the student in topical narration. Maps, showing the progressive changes in the political divisions of the country, and the location of the places referred to, are interspersed through the work, and chronological tables inserted at frequent intervals. The same system with regard to dates has been followed as is employed in the author's Manual of General History, they being inserted freely, but so as to form no essential part of the narrative. The pronunciation of proper names is also given wherever it was thought the student might need this information. The biographical and other references will, it is thought, be found a most convenient addition to a work of this kind. The size of the work has been dictated by a consideration of the limited time which, according to the present school requirements, can be given to this subject; and the author hopes that in this, as well as in other respects, it will meet the approval of those from whom his previous publications have received so generous a support and commendation.
