Book excerpt: The brilliance of the Renaissance laid the foundation of the modern world. Textbooks tell us that it came about as a result of a rediscovery of the ideas and ideals of classical Greece and Rome. But now bestselling historian Gavin Menzies makes the startling argument that in the year 1434, China--then the world's most technologically advanced civilization--provided the spark that set the European Renaissance ablaze. From that date onward, Europeans embraced Chinese intellectual ideas, discoveries, and inventions, all of which form the basis of western civilization today.--From amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years before Columbus and his fellow Europeans began their voyages of discovery, fleets of giant junks commanded by the eunuch admiral Zheng He and filled with the empire’s finest porcelains, lacquerware, and silk ventured to the world’s “four corners.” Seven epic expeditions brought China’s treasure ships across the China Seas and Indian Ocean, from Japan to the spice island of Indonesia and the Malabar Coast of India, on to the rich ports of the Persian Gulf and down the East African coast, to China’s “El Dorado,” and perhaps even to Australia, three hundred years before Captain Cook’s landing. It was a time of exploration and expansion, but it ended in a retrenchment so complete that less than a century later, it was a crime to go to sea in a multimasted ship. In When China Ruled the Seas, Louise Levathes takes a fascinating and unprecedented look at this dynamic period in China’s enigmatic history, focusing on the country’s rise as a naval power that briefly brought half the world under its nominal authority. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, official Ming histories, and African, Arab, and Indian sources, many translated for the first time, Levathes brings readers inside China’s most illustrious scientific and technological era. She sheds new light on the historical and cultural context in which this great civilization thrived, as well as the perception of China by other contemporary cultures. Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, When China Ruled the Seas is the fullest picture yet of the early Ming dynasty—the last flowering of Chinese culture before the Manchu invasion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Coleman has described him as 'one of the three most influential personalities in Australian politics since the war.'Graham Freudenberg said,'Santamaria was unique in Australian history as her only political intellectual in the high European tradition.'Malcolm Muggeridge (in his Foreword)stated:'In his last years Dr Evatts mind was not at its most lucid, but there was one thing that would arouse in him a kind of frenzy it was the word"Santamaria"'.BA Santamaria has been a unique force in Australian politics for over fifty years. He remains active and controversial forty years after the disastrous split in which he was a pivotal force and which kept Labor out of office for another two decades. His role, in association with the legendaryCardinal Mannix and the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, in organising the anti-Communist Movement, is still fascinating and misrepresented. His relations with figures such as Mannix (his great mentor), Dr Evatt, Arthur Calwell and Gough Whitlam are complex and vividly recalled in this book. Asdirector of the National Civic Council and Australias most prominent Catholic layman and intellectual, Santamaria has been an important opinion leader whose activities as ideologue, organiser and spokesman have involved him in much controversy throughout his career.The first edition of Against the Tide appeared in 1981 and sold 7000 copies. Now Mr Santamaria adds fifteen years to his compelling political memoirs. Of particular importance are his relections on the rise of Labor after the economic rationalism, and the modernization of the Catholic Church. One ofthe most effective and hated political operators in Australian history, Santamaria again proves to be one of its most cadid autobiographers.

Book excerpt: Old Union is the life's journey of Sam and Emily Wright who become of age in the Great Depression. Sam as a boy walks 550 miles from outback New South Wales with a single obsession, to go to sea. The 1935 seamen's strike pits seaman against seaman, strikebreaker against militant, the strong against the weak, a futile struggle that will gut a union of seamen. Sam matures in the turbulent years of war and the political upheavals dividing Australia. A coming of age in an era of persecution against political beliefs, union demonizing, and a working class demanding a fair share of a new and modern world. To save a life Sam walks away from the sea, but never loses what beats in his heart, the equality of man and his right to a voice.

Download or read book The Secret History of MI6 written by Keith Jeffery and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authorized history of the world's oldest and most storied foreign intelligence service, drawing extensively on hitherto secret documents Britain's Special Intelligence Service, commonly called MI6, is not only the oldest and most storied foreign intelligence unit in the world - it is also the only one to open its archives to an outside researcher. The result, in this authorized history, is an unprecedented and revelatory look at an organization that essentially created, over the course of two world wars, the modern craft of spying. Here are the true stories that inspired Ian Fleming's James Bond's novels and John le Carré George Smiley novels. Examining innovations from invisible ink and industrial-scale cryptography to dramatic setbacks like the Nazi sting operations to bag British operatives, this groundbreaking history is as engrossing as any thriller - and much more revealing. "Perhaps the most authentic account one will ever read about how intelligence really works." -The Washington Times

Download or read book The Bletchley Park Codebreakers in Their Own Words written by Joel Greenberg and published by Greenhill Books. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating anthology which sheds new light on the Bletchley Park story and shows that there is still more to tell.' - Tony Comer OBE, formerly Departmental Historian at GCHQ This important volume tells the story of Bletchley Park through countless letters written by key players to former colleagues and loved ones as the war unfolded. Having intercepted millions of German communications, the codebreakers had felt bound by the Official Secrets Act and said little about their wartime activities. Some who had stayed on at GCHQ after the war, were concerned that speaking out could jeopardise their pensions.Over one hundred letters have been included in this volume and have either been recovered from family members or declassified by GCHQ. They reveal fresh information about the clandestine operation and disclose the true feelings of the participants at Bletchley.Park. In contrast to early accounts, which lacked detail and were occasionally inaccurate, this book thoroughly lays bare the day-to-day experiences at Bletchley Park and uncovers the operational and technical reasons behind the organisation's successes and failures. Simultaneously intimate and comprehensive, it will interest historians, World War II researchers, and anyone who wants to learn the secrets of Britain's signal intelligence effort.

Download or read book Globalization and Time written by Luchien Karsten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of globalization has brought about countless changes in societies, communities, regions and economies across the globe. It has been analyzed from many perspectives as a result and much has been written to muddy the waters of our understanding of this important concept. In going back to the real origins of the global economy, this book demonstrates that understanding this phenomenon as a, 'battle against time' will bring a new clarity to the subject. The process of globalization was accompanied by the mastering of ‘social time’, thereby producing a progressive increase in the speed of business transactions, both in manufacturing and in services. The context is the development of international trade in western societies and the creation of business institutions to drive forward growth. The account takes a ‘long view’, beginning with early European exploration in the B.C. period, and ending with the establishment of multinational enterprises in the 20th century. Using an impressive range of sources this unique book will be valuable reading for students and academics involved with the study of international business, economic history, business history and politics, among other disciplines.
