Download or read book The Queen s Coronation Facsimile Edition written by Beverley Nichols and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 6 February 1952, Princess Elizabeth succeeded to the throne on the untimely death of her father, King George VI. Her Coronation in Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953 represented a day of historic pomp and ritual for the dignitaries at the ceremony, and the excitement of colourful pageantry and national rejoicing for the crowds who lined the streets of London in the rain to see their new sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Sixty years on, Pitkin Publishing is proud to publish this facsimile edition of the original Pitkin Pictorial record of this historic event, a poignant and personal account seen through the eyes of the late Beverly Nichols.
Download or read book LIFE Jubilee Queen Elizabeth II written by The Editors of LIFE and published by Life. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April of 2011 LIFE ventured to London for our bestselling book The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. This June we return to capture all the pomp and circumstance as England celebrates its queen's 60th year on the throne. All of the best photography from the festivities will be in these pages — as will so much else. Directly descended from Victoria, Elizabeth is now on the verge of supplanting that great queen as Britain's longest serving monarch ever — and LIFE has had its cameras trained on her since she was a little girl. We were there to record her precocious courage during World War II, her splendiferous marriage to Prince Philip, her glittery coronation, her travails and dramas in the modern age. The other characters that come and go in these pages are equally famous and compelling: Wayward Uncle Edward who had to abdicate the throne, the Queen Mum and her hats, Elizabeth's father George VI who overcame his stammer to rally his countrymen during the war, Prince Charles, Lady Diana, the grandsons Will and Harry — and on and on. We see these people move through palaces opulent beyond belief (Buckingham, Windsor), and estates that dwarf Downton Abbey (Sandringham, Balmoral). We learn of their lives, their loves, their scandals. Ever with her head held high, there is Elizabeth II. Here is her royal story, told in its entirety. This book will include not only grand photography of the Jubilee but of prior House of Windsor celebrations, including Victoria's own 60th anniversary celebration, Elizabeth's wedding, the so-called "Wedding of the Century" (Charles and Di's), and the recent marriage of Elizabeth's grandson to Princess Kate. It is a splashy, festive book. It fairly shouts: "Long live the queen!"
Download or read book The Shapeshifting Crown written by Cris Shore and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crown stands at the heart of the New Zealand, British, Australian and Canadian constitutions as the ultimate source of legal authority and embodiment of state power. A familiar icon of the Westminster model of government, it is also an enigma. Even constitutional experts struggle to define its attributes and boundaries: who or what is the Crown and how is it embodied? Is it the Queen, the state, the government, a corporation sole or aggregate, a relic of feudal England, a metaphor, or a mask for the operation of executive power? How are its powers exercised? How have the Crowns of different Commonwealth countries developed? The Shapeshifting Crown combines legal and anthropological perspectives to provide novel insights into the Crown's changing nature and its multiple, ambiguous and contradictory meanings. It sheds new light onto the development of the state in postcolonial societies and constitutional monarchy as a cultural system.

Book excerpt: 考上初中，接觸英文後，就對它發生興趣，但當時並不很用功，及上高中，受 到良師的啟發，才對它下了工夫。這是後來選擇就讀外文系的原因。事實上， 筆者對文學毫無興趣，也無文學細胞，但對英文文法則情有獨鍾。大二上英文 文法與修辭課時，非常用功，曾蒐購國內外出版的文法與修辭書籍一百多本， 並花了相當工夫寫了一篇【英文冠詞之研究】的報告，送請恩師卓貺來教授指 導斧正。 對英文有興趣，是筆者從事外交工作的主要原因之一。但是，外交人員因派駐 國家使用語文之不同，或因工作需要之差異，並非都有常用英文或英語的機會。 有些同仁在國內外工作數十年，未曾寫過英文公文或書信，恐是外界人士所難 想像的。筆者算是較幸運的，曾駐劄日本、越南、美國、南非、德國及巴哈馬 等國，使用英文與英語的機會相當多，但每當提筆撰寫文稿時，仍不免有「書 到用時方恨少」的愧嘆！ 孔子說：「工欲善其事，必先利其器」。要寫好英文，必先學好英語；可是，要 學好英語並非一蹴可及。近年來，政府與民間各界都很重視英語，加上電子傳 媒非常發達，學習英語的環境已獲相當改善，所以國人英語水準的提升應是指 日可待。但是，要寫好英文，除了應先學好英語外，仍須備有完善的英文字、 辭典或其他參考書籍。目前坊間出版之英文字、辭典及參考工具書數量甚多， 但多因限於篇幅，所舉例句多嫌太過簡短，另或因編輯簡略缺陋，以致大多無 法滿足讀者學習或參考之需要。 民國六十五年間，友人借給 Terry L. Chow 中校所撰“Common Expressions for Written Communications”乙書，閱讀後發現該書內容簡潔實用，是一本很難得 的好書。但因該書例句內容偏重軍情事務，對一般人而言，參考價值似嫌不高， 筆者爰決定根據該書架構，重新加以改寫編輯。多年來乃於公餘之暇，大量閱 讀中外英文政經文獻，近年來更利用電腦上網搜尋，不斷蒐集相關例句，前後 費時約六載，終於日前一償夙願，寫成【英文寫作常用字彙與例句】乙書。本 書例句涵蓋我國「憲法」、「動員戡亂時期臨時條款」、「民法」與「國家統一綱 領」，以及「聯合國憲章」、「維也納外交關係公約」、「維也納領事關係公約」、「海 牙國籍法公約」與「中美共同防禦條約」等重要條文，並附有中譯，是編輯上 之另一特色。 筆者不揣鄙陋，抱持「愚公移山」的精神，編寫完成此書，架構完整，並附有 實用例句，應是進修英文者的可靠良伴，更是從事英文寫作或翻譯工作者必備 4 4 的工具書。付梓匆匆，漏誤必多，而魯魚亥豕，亦在所難免，尚請讀者先進不 吝惠予賜教，以供將來修正參考。是所至禱。 外交部領事事務局黃清雄及季韻聲二兄協助校對及指正，併此申謝。 潘 明(Gilbert M.

Download or read book Magic Carpet Ride written by Philip Harris and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From humble beginnings in wartime Peckham, where his first memories are of being carried down into the air-raid shelter by his mother, Phil Harris would go on to transform his father's market stall into Britain's biggest carpet retail chain, himself becoming one of the richest people in the country, a member of the House of Lords and a passionate supporter of charitable causes. An extraordinary retailer, largely instinctive with an exceptional feel for what the customer wanted, Harris and his astonishing business career, with its ups and downs, are the central themes to the book. Today he is as well-known for his charitable work. Severely dyslexic himself, with Tony Blair's personal support Lord Harris created the first academy school in London. There are now thirty-five Harris Academy schools, and it was David Cameron's relationship with Lord Harris that persuaded the former PM to espouse the academy school so enthusiastically. These, then, are the fascinating memoirs of one of the country's greatest entrepreneurs and philanthropists.

Download or read book Am I Missing Something written by Iain Hollingshead and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2013-10-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, the collection of the best letters that didn’t quite make it into the Telegraph – because just too left-field, outrageous or hilarious for an august Letters page – offers an alternative review of the year. For this fifth volume the potential agenda is just as enticing as ever, with Telegraph readers variously waggish, whimsical or just plain steamed-up about Chris Huhne’s speeding points, a new Pope, the Royal baby and mansion taxes. Once again, it will be one of the humour bestsellers of the year.
Download or read book Arthur Sullivan A Victorian Musician written by Arthur Jacobs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1992. This is a revised, enlarged edition of a book which on its original appearance in 1984 was hailed as a landmark in the study of Victorian musical life. It presents the figure of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1990) not only as the celebrated co-creator of light operas with W.S Gilbert, but as a composer of all kinds of music from symphony and concerto to ballads such as ‘The Lost Chord’ and hymns such as ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’. A prominent public life, with a knighthood in 1883, is contrasted with an unconventional private life involving a liaison of almost thirty years with an American living in London, Mary Frances Ronalds. The author’s access to Sullivan’s diary held by Yale University and to letters and other documents at the Pierpont Morgan library in New York gives this book both a unique authority and a deep human understanding. A new chapter updates research to the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth, 1992, and incorporates music examples.
