Download or read book Empire Celebrity and Excess written by Martin Francis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While now long-forgotten, King Farouk of Egypt loomed large in British culture in the 1940s and 1950s. Farouk was of interest and importance, not just to British imperial policy makers, but to a wider public that was exposed to his extravagant lifestyle and colourful private life through gossip columns, comedy sketches, cartoons, song lyrics and novels. This book explores how the narratives and representations of King Farouk found in British official and popular culture dramatized the retreat from empire, the rise of celebrity journalism, changing conceptions of masculinity and sexuality, ambivalent attitudes towards monarchy, postcolonial exile, the growth of mass tourism, and the post-war transition from austerity to abundance. By considering diplomatic history in tandem with histories of popular culture and celebrity, Francis presents a more holistic understanding of British culture during the era of decolonization. The varied cultural and social features of post-war Britain and the reconstitution of British identity in the aftermath of empire - sexual liberalization, 'Americanization', consumer affluence, increased interaction with Europe, new forms of mass leisure and the emergence of celebrity culture - did not take place independently of the dismantling of imperial rule. Studying Farouk therefore sheds new light on the multiple and complex ways in which Britain emerged as a postcolonial nation.

Download or read book The Medieval Crossbow written by ELLIS-GORMAN STUART and published by Pen & Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crossbow is an iconic weapon of the Middle Ages and, alongside the longbow, one of the most effective ranged weapons of the pre-gunpowder era. Unfortunately, despite its general fame it has been decades since an in-depth history of the medieval crossbow has been published, which is why Stuart Ellis-Gorman's detailed, accessible, and highly illustrated study is so valuable. The Medieval Crossbow approaches the history of the crossbow from two directions. The first is a technical study of the design and construction of the medieval crossbow, the many different kinds of crossbows used during the Middle Ages, and finally a consideration of the relationship between crossbows and art. The second half of the book explores the history of the crossbow, from its origins in ancient China to its decline in sixteenth-century Europe. Along the way it explores the challenges in deciphering the crossbow's early medieval history as well as its prominence in warfare and sport shooting in the High and Later Middle Ages. This fascinating book brings together the work of a wide range of accomplished crossbow scholars and incorporates the author's own original research to create an account of the medieval crossbow that will appeal to anyone looking to gain an insight into one of the most important weapons of the Middle Ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the best books you will ever read on leadership. If poor leadership is one of the biggest problems in the world today, why is leadership not been taught as a subject of its own to the fastest learners in the human race?

THIS BOOK WILL TURN EVERY LEADER INTO A STAR: BY boldly redefining leadership and showing you that becoming a great leader is easy. BY helping you see that you are constantly surrounded by leadership clues. BY blowing away the error that portrays leadership as something for only a select few.

In these pages you will encounter the A - Z of leadership which you surely have never seen anywhere before and learning these alphabets will make anyone soar in leadership no matter their education or background. This book is your leadership Bible because it is the A - Z of leadership. Here, A is for Audacious and Z is for Zestful. Enjoy the ride

Download or read book Revealing the Hidden Secrets written by Emad Wissa and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-07-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis: Revealing the Hidden Secrets delves into the mysteries of the Book of the Revelation to John, offering a deeply spiritual message that is both timely in its response to current events and urgent in its plea for the salvation of the world. Author Emad Wissa brings to light amazing details about the Churchs life on earth her history, her times, and her reign. In addition to Church history, the book proposes the spiritual meaning of major historical events, including the three most significant and to the unprepared mind disastrous world events: the rise of Communism; the return of the Jewish people to Israel; and the first battle leading to Armageddon, waged in April, 2003, when America launched its military campaign in Iraq. Why the urgency? The time is very short. Look around and see: in the Land of the Euphrates in the European Union in the Middle East, with its Arab-Israeli conflict and in the developing situation with Iran Then look at the Christian world today, part dead, part lukewarm, and part with a little power. In such a world, the Revelation to John is a clear, loud voice from God, calling for repentance and salvation. Those who ignore His voice do so at their peril, for whether or not they believe in the word of God or even in heaven itself the end-time events will affect everyone.

Book excerpt: In this work, John Gill argues for the existence and characteristics of the triune God. These arguments are all given from a heavily Calvinist perspective but he uses a lot of scripture to back up his claims. He also argues that the character of God is shown through his work on Earth by the elect and most importantly through Christ. These characteristics then carry on in the final stages of life, when human beings pass away and move on to heaven or hell.
