This is about pinball from a British POV!

Hailed more as a literary masterpiece than an accurate account of historical facts, The History of England from the Accession of James the Second by Thomas Babington Macaulay is an admirable mix of fact and fiction. Modern day readers may find much that is offensive and insensitive in this five volume work which covers a particular period in the long and eventful history of Britain. However, it is certainly a book that leads the reader on to further research into the events and people mentioned.The book opens with an elaborate and detailed introduction which describes the writer's motives and reasons for embarking on this project. He goes on to trace the early civilizations that preceded the establishment of the British Monarchy. He credits the British people with resisting all foreign influences beginning with the Romans and going on to the French, Dutch and Germans who had an important role to play in the affairs of the country. The British character and traditions are lauded and commended above all others. This was something which was characteristic of the Victorian age in which Macaulay lived, when the British Empire was at the height of its powers.He was still working on the fifth volume and the reign of William III when he died at the relatively young age of 59. For Macaulay and his contemporaries, Britain at that time represented the zenith of civilization. Macaulay himself was assigned the task of introducing English in British colonies, especially in India. Some of his controversial ideas included dividing the world into 'civilization and barbarism' and his contempt of indigenous cultures. His famously insular outlook which he himself took great pride in was something which permeated through all his writings.The History of England... was seen as an essentially Whig representation of events. It inspired a generation of British politicians and thinkers, the most notable among them being Winston Churchill. The philosophy and viewpoint it represents evokes a past era in which the politics of the world was completely different. Macaulay is also famous for having insisted on personally visiting many of the places he describes and thus introducing the concept of social history in addition to a mere political discourse.In spite of all the attacks it received both when it was first published and later, the book remains a highly readable account of the history of the tiny island nation which went on to become a superpower. more

The book follows Jeffery Farnol as he visits a number of key locations around Britain and on the continent, each demonstrating how members of English society have come together to work towards the goal of 'defeating the hun'.On a visit to a naval dockyard, he reports on how the ships are being constructed, takes us on a tour of a destroyer and introduces us to the crew. He also visits a machine gun factory, and discovers how the great guns are built. His tour continues onto the continent where he visits a hospital, a training camp, and artillery battery at the front in action.While in France he discovers the horrors of war, learning that it's more than just guns and glory, there's blood and death close at hand.A visit to an active aerodrome shows us the newly arrived aircraft, and from the people there we learn of their daring in combat. Finally the tour draws to an end at Ypres, knows simply as 'wipers' to the troops. A place of great history and architecture now turned to ashes and rubble. Yet, despite the destruction, the author finds glory, honour and even hope for a better future more

http://www.adfreebooks.com - 500 audiobooks, all ad freeThe Events of 1848, Especially in Relation to Great Britain' by Richard Monckton Milnes is a historical work that delves into the tumultuous events of the year 1848, with a particular focus on their impact on Great Britain. Published in 1849, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the revolutionary wave that swept across Europe during that pivotal year. Milnes examines how the spirit of revolution, driven by demands for political reform, economic change, and social justice, spread throughout Europe and triggered uprisings and protests. In Great Britain, while there were no widespread revolutions like in other European countries, there were significant movements for political reform and workers' rights. Milnes explores these movements, including the Chartist movement, which advocated for democratic reforms such as universal suffrage. Milnes offers insights into the political climate, key figures, and the response of the British government to these demands for change. The book is a valuable historical account that sheds light on a crucial period of social and political upheaval in both Britain and Europe. more
