The World in 1800

PRAISE FOR The World in 1800 'Olivier Berniers richly detailed, engaging, and elegant book offers a splendid refresher course on a pivotal moment in world historythe dawn of the modern era.'Francine du Plessix Gray 'Elegantly written.' The New York Times Book Review 'Berniers style is easeful and informed: he has an acute eye for a colourful, clever, and iconic image.'The Times (London) 'Sweeping, impressively argued. . . . A distinguished work of popular history.'Kirkus Reviews 'Bernier is less interested in historical debates than in telling a good story.'San Francisco Chronicle 'When the art historian in Bernier gains ascendancy, the result is wonderful.'The Australian Financial Review '. . . for the first time ever, the world was one, united by war and by the survival of that most ancient of evils, slavery. Already during the Seven Years War, from 1756 to 1763, fighting had ranged across the continents and across the oceans; but it had been disorganized and relatively brief, a series of spasms rather than a new way of being. The wars of the French Revolution, from 1792 to 1815, changed all that. Now the leading nationsFrance and Great Britain particularlyhad worldwide strategies. What happened in Rio, Cairo, Calcutta, or Cape Town mattered to the governments in Paris and London; and every movement of the adversaries caused consequences thousands of miles away.'From the Introduction - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461720937 - The World in 1800 in store

The Slippery Slope

Dear Reader, Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up -- and down -- a range of strange and distressing mountains. In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful trap, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire. Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery book slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket - Books Reading - New - 461510857 - The Slippery Slope - description
