Download or read book The Delamere Saga: the Untold Story of Vale Royal Abbey written by Geoffrey Hebdon and published by Interactive Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This colourful and thoroughly researched history of the Lord Delamere branch of the British aristocracy focuses on the famous Vale Royal Abbey in Cheshire, England. The Cholmondeley family, who owned the Abbey throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, are described in lavish and intimate detail as they maneuvered to maintain, through three generations, their status as a leading family in the United Kingdom. Beginning in the late 17th century, we follow Charles Cholmondeley as he served as a member of the King’s army in Canada in the war against the French. Part I witnesses the ubiquitous Thomas Cholmondeley who purchased the title ‘Lord (Baron) Delamere’ for £5000 from the British crown in 1821. Part II covers the 2nd Lord Delamere, Hugh Cholmondeley, who led a very sad and difficult life, and experienced the deterioration of Vale Royal. Part III reviews the life of Hugh Cholmondeley, Jnr., 3rd Lord Delamere, his abandonment of Vale Royal Abbey and his relocation to East Africa. Narcissistic Hugh was part of the notorious “happy valley crowd” of Kenya and their lives of debauchery, sex and drugs. The Vale Royal Abbey lives on today, a national treasure and testament to the intriguing lives of those who occupied it over the centuries.
Book Synopsis Zero Hour: A Countdown to the Collapse of South Africa's Apartheid System by : Geoffrey Hebdon
Download or read book Zero Hour: A Countdown to the Collapse of South Africa's Apartheid System written by Geoffrey Hebdon and published by Interactive Publications. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening book focuses on the history of how the ethnic groups of Africa, eventually joined by white colonizers from Europe, created the seedbed for the hateful apartheid system in Southern Africa. The reader learns how apartheid began, the dehumanizing effects it had on the black population, and how it was finally abolished in its ‘zero hour’ in 1994. Written by historian, writer and researcher Geoffrey Hebdon, this is the second in a series that covers the experience of a British citizen who emigrated to South Africa during that era, and records in vivid detail his responses to the apartheid system and how South Africa and neighbouring countries evolved after apartheid was abolished. As well as the first European settlers and the white Afrikaners’ attempted enslavement of the black population, the book also covers the Zulu wars, the Anglo-Boer wars and individuals who supported apartheid such as Cecil Rhodes and the whites-only National Party of South Africa. Also covered are prominent leaders of the African National Congress (ANC) and the black revolutionaries who fought against apartheid, many of whom gave their lives or served life sentences for their “struggle”, including Nelson Mandela, who became South Africa’s first black president after serving years in prison.

Book excerpt: "The eighty-three documents presented here, varied in length and character, are not all concerned with Suffolk, but they are all connected with the eventful lives of Sir Thomas (later Viscount) Savage and his wife Elizabeth Savage (later Countress Rivers), who married in 1602 and whose homes included Melford Hall." "Thomas and Elizabeth both inherited considerable estates in Suffolk, Essex and Cheshire. Within a tight circle of aristocratic Catholics, they became prominent servants of the royal family during the reigns of James I and Charles I. After Thomas's death in 1635, Elizabeth remained an intimate of the queen, but her two houses of St. Osyth's and Melford Hall were sacked in 1642, and she remained chronically short of money up to her death in 1651." "The central document is a remarkable inventory of 1635-6, taken after Thomas died, listing the contents of Melford Hall in Suffolk, Rocksavage in Cheshire and a town house on Tower Hill in London."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Austen's Unbecoming Conjunctions by : J. Heydt-Stevenson
Download or read book Austen's Unbecoming Conjunctions written by J. Heydt-Stevenson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Austen'sUnbecomingConjunctions is a contemporary study of all Jane Austen's writings focusing on her representation of women, sexuality, the material objects, and linguistic patterns by which this sexuality was expressed. Heydt-Stevenson demonstrates the subtle, vulgar, and humorous ways Austen uses human bodies, objects, and activities (fashion, jewelry, crafts, popular literature, travel and tourism, money, and courtship rituals) to convey sexuality and sexual appetites. Through the sexual subtext, Heydt-Stevenson proposes, Austen satirized contemporary sexual hypocrisy; overcame the stereotypes of women authors as sexually inhibited, sheltered, or repressed; and addressed as sophisticated and worldly an audience as Byron's. Thus through her careful reading of all the Austen texts in light of the language of eroticism, both traditional and contemporary, Heydt-Stevenson re-evaluates Austen's audience, the novels, and her role as a writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters and Slaves of Modern Religion is a bold, inspiring and a brilliant expose of religious cults that can create harm and seriously damage the lives of their adherents and the dangers associated with mind control and how these cults operate. The in-depth research undertaken by the team employed by the sponsors of this narrative, the MTC International Foundation, is riveting and will leave you breathless. Facts and details are exposed that have never been revealed before and the sincere motive of the research team is to enlighten sincere genuine Christians how to protect themselves from being used as slaves by the powerful, influential religious organizations in these modern times. It also covers important steps one needs to take to break free from the chains and slavery of a religious cult. The book also goes into great depth of how a cult operates and enhances our understanding of how cults on earth today affect the happiness and personal, private lives of millions of their slave like followers. For serious students of the Bible and those who are interested in the subject of religion plus true Christianity and its contribution and value to the human race will not be disappointed. The editor is Geoffrey Hebdon of the MTC Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation located in California.
