In un solo libro cosi disponiamo di molti libri.

La historia imperial de España encuentra su origen en el pequeño reino asturleonés de los siglos X y XI del que algunos de sus reyes fueron designados imperatores. El presente libro reconstituye la historia de este fenomeno singular que la historiografia española de mediados del siglo XX erigio en mito identitario hispanico. A traves de una mirada desapasionada sobre las fuentes, se esfuerza por despejar los procedimientos de legitimacion monarquica como lo ilustra el uso del concepto de imperio en el Leon medieval.

Em 1963, começou a operar em Portugal uma agência de imprensa chamada Aginter Press. O seu director era Yves Guillou, que usava, entre outros, o nome Yves Guérin-Sérac. O seu número dois chamava-se Robert Leroy. Veio a descobrir-se mais tarde - particularmente depois do 25 de Abril de 1974 -, através de documentação encontrada nos seus arquivos, que a agência se tratava, na realidade, de uma cobertura para um conjunto de acções secretas, algumas a realizar em Portugal e outras noutros países europeus, mas especialmente em África e mais tarde na América Latina. Essas operações secretas ou de cobertura tinham todas as características da guerra subversiva, no âmbito duma rede terrorista internacional, fascizante e de cruzada anticomunista.

The techniques of European warfare were transformed during the 15th and 16th centuries by the use of gunpowder and by substantial progress in the effectiveness and destructive power of artillery. The series of conflicts in the 1640s, known collectively as the English Civil War, was the first in the British Isles that reflected this new reality. Sieges that aimed at isolating and reducing fortified places became the dominant instrument for prosecuting the war and protective fortifications were vital, for both the besieged as well as the besieger. This title describes how both the Parliamentarians and the Royalists made use of new fortification techniques throughout the course of this conflict.

This, the third volume to appear in the New Oxford History of England, covers the period from the repeal of the Corn Laws to the dramatic failure of Gladstone''s first Home Rule Bill. In his magisterial study of the mid-Victorian generation, Theo Hoppen identifies three defining themes.The first he calls ''established industrialism'' - the growing acceptance that factory life and manufacturing had come to stay. It was during these four decades that the balance of employment shifted irrevocably. For the first time in history, more people were employed in industry than worked on the land.The second concerns the ''multiple national identities'' of the constituent parts of the United Kingdom. Dr Hoppen''s study of the histories of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Empire reveals the existence of a variety of particular and overlapping national traditions flourishing alongside the increasingly influential structure of the unitary state.The third defining theme is that of ''interlocking spheres'' which the author uses to illuminate the formation of public culture in the period. This, he argues, was generated not by a series of influences operating independently from each other, but by a variety of intermeshed political, economic, scientific, literary and artistic developments.This original and authoritative book will define these pivotal forty years in British history for the next generation.

Napoleon, fed up with Portugal's non-compliance to his Continental System which was aimed at isolating Britain, ordered the inasion of Britains oldest ally in November 1807. The French occupation was harsh in 1808 the Portuguese revolted and some of the French occupiers fled in confusion. In August 1808, a 14,000-man British army landed at Figura da Foz, (which had been recaptured by the students of Coimbra University) under the future Wellington, Sir Arthur Wellesley. General Andoche Junot had 25,000 French troops in Portugal but these were scattered trying to contain the Portuguese. A 6,000-strong French force under General de Laborde was sent against the British. Wellesley outmanoeuvred his opponent and, at Rolia on 17 August, defeated the French. The surprized French mustered a further 13,000 men and hoped to defeat the British quickly as more troops were arriving from England. Junot met Wellesley (16,000 British, 2,000 Portuguese) at Vimeiro on 21 August. The French attacks were badly conceived and disjointed, and were routed by Wellesley's army. With the arrival of General Dalrymple to take overall command the notorious Convention of Cintra was negotiated, which allowed for the defeated French troops to be evacuated on British ships with baggage and loot intact rather than being forced to surrender. This agreement which Wellington accepted only with the greatest reluctance, led to the disgrace of his superiors. Nevertheless, the shock-waves of Vimeiro were felt across Europe. The previously invincible French had been defeated by Wellesley's Anglo-Portuguese army, Portugal liberated, and a vital foothold secured from which to prosecute the war in the Peninsular.
