THE BESTSELLER THAT DEFINED AN AGE'Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunde...

    Wandelgids Hadrian's coastal route | The History Press
    Dit is meer een reisgids dan een wandelgids: de kaarten zijn slechts schetsmatig, een wandelkaart er bij is wel zo handig! Hadrian's Wall, running from Wallsend to Bowness, is a much visited attraction and an iconic landmark with over 200 years of serious research behind it. The Western Frontier has had barely 70 but through the efforts of a small band of archaeologists and the Hadrian's Wall Heritage Trust Ltd this is gradually changing. The frontier route followed in this guide, running from Ravenglass to Bowness on Solway, is punctuated by Roman forts, the visible remains of a frontier of watchtowers, mileforts and manned bases. ‘Be part of history, walk a frontier lost for over fifteen hundred years.’The Western Hadrianic Frontier of the Roman Empire is little known by the general public. Until recently the frontier was viewed as merely a series of forts with a fluid means of defence and administration between them, and the public was understandably drawn to the physical remains o…

    The history of oncology (Hardback)
    The history of oncology (Hardback)
    'The story of oncology is not only fascinating but also contains many accounts of dead ends, chance discoveries, illusions, mistakes and disappointments alongside the few successes.'These words are taken from the introduction to this book. The author, professor emeritus of Medical Oncology, reviews all aspects of the problem of cancer from a historical perspective, from the oldest existing records to the latest scientific and medical advances. It will interest the many people engaged in the treatment of cancer to read how the current therapeutic methods came about, and the book may also provide inspiration for cancer researchers, and for all those directly or indirectly involved with cancer. The layman looking for background information on a particular treatment may find it useful too. The various chapters can be read independently. A glossary and a few explanatory diagrams augment the text.This book grew out of an invitation the author received to lecture on the history of oncology.

    History of the Netherlands as a Tax Haven, 1914-1996 (Paperback)
    History of the Netherlands as a Tax Haven, 1914-1996 (Paperback)
    The Dutch tax haven is much older than most would assume and has undergone several stages of development. It arose during World War I, when foreign capital refugees and German companies started to take advantage of existing facilities such as banking secrecy and numbered bank accounts. During the interwar period, the Dutch and Swiss tax havens became the most important in Europe. Due to international tensions and the threat of war a lot of flight capital left the Netherlands, mainly to the United States. That meant the downfall of the Dutch tax haven. Just after World War II, the Dutch government abolished banking secrecy. Therefore, the pre-war tax haven could not be re-established, since it was largely based on secrecy. But through a growing tax treaty network, a generous participation exemption, and attractive tax rulings, the Netherlands was able to develop into one of the most important tax havens for companies. This is the first archive-based study that covers the complete

    The XIII History (Paperback)
    The XIII History (Paperback)
    Danny Finkelstein moet een ijzersterk artikel op papier zetten om zijn baas, Randolph MacKnight, tevreden te stellen. Hij heeft net documenten in zijn bezit gekregen waarmee hij heel wat schade kan aanrichten. Ze houden rechtstreeks verband met het onderzoek van Ron Finkelstein en Warren Glass, en zijn eigen werk: The Kelly Brian Story. Zijn ontdekkingen dreigen een heel ander licht te werpen op het ontstaan van het land en de eerste kolonisten, en ze zouden zelfs een smet werpen op de reputatie van de huidige leiders en presidentskandidaten. Als Finkelstein erin slaagt de informatie te publiceren tenminste, want er liggen spionnen op de loer en heel wat hoge piefen willen liefst dat de hele affaire in de kiem gesmoord wordt… Overzichtsalbum met dossiers en achtergronden over de gebeurtenissen en personages van de Mayflower cyclus (deel 20 tem 24). Deze tweede cyclus start bij de overname van Sente (scenarist) en Jigounov (tekenaar).

    THE BESTSELLER THAT DEFINED AN AGE

    'Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and say oh! oh! oh!'

    Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.
