The RAF at 100 - Mirrorpix - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The RAF at 100 - Mirrorpix - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Royal Air Force was formed in 1918 to defend the skies over Britain during the First World War and made a major contribution to winning one of the largest and most devastating conflicts of the twentieth century. Yet, when the war ended, its existence as an independent air service came under threat from severe defence cuts and intense scrutiny from some quarters as to whether it was needed at all. The Second World War put paid to all the uncertainty and sealed the RAF’s place in the armed services. It has since played a vital role in many large-scale conflicts, as well as in peacekeeping and international aid operations. Celebrating a century of the world’s oldest independent air force, The RAF at 100 showcases vivid and evocative images from the Mirrorpix archive that trace the story of the RAF from its earliest days through wartime and peacetime and into the modern age.

SOE in 100 Objects - Belinda Curwen - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

SOE in 100 Objects - Belinda Curwen - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

By the summer of 1940, Nazi blitzkrieg had blazed across much of Europe, culminating in the Fall of France. The invasion of Britain, once unthinkable, now seemed inevitable but Churchill’s cabinet resolved to try every means to turn the tide. One of their boldest moves was the formation of a ‘fifth column’, the Special Operations Executive (SOE), tasked to hamstring the enemy from the shadows. Prospective agents, often bilingual, were drawn from diverse callings and countries. After intensive tuition in subversion and espionage, SOE’s secret band of saboteurs dropped behind the lines to mobilise resistance and pave the way for D-Day. SOE in 100 Objects picks up the clues they left behind – a button compass in Greece, a silk map in Burma – and follows their trail across land and sea, from moonlight flights to high-risk missions and hard-won liberation.

Each object tells a fascinating story in its own right, adding depth and colour to the chapters of Norfolk’s history. The result is an illuminating visual record, demonstrating the central role objects have in understanding our past and revealing the often crucial role Norfolk has played in the development of our national story.

A History of Childhood in 100 Objects - Professor Maggie Andrews - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A History of Childhood in 100 Objects - Professor Maggie Andrews - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Some things never change: families in ancient Egypt still gathered round boardgames, and the yoyo was a plaything of boys and girls even in the Tudor period. Then there are the objects that could only belong to a certain time and place – toys and everyday items that take us back to our childhood, or help us imagine what life was like for our parents and grandparents when they were little. In A HISTORY OF CHILDHOOD IN 100 OBJECTS, Maggie Andrews and Janis Lomas reveal, mosaic-like, the changing face of childhood. A seventeenth-century rocking horse speaks to a time when boys were trained to be soldiers, while Victorian factory shoes testify to a miserly age of child labour and an evacuee label to childhood in the shadow of war. After Mr Potato Head, the first toy sold on television, came the toy crazes that characterise our modern age of consumerism, from troll dolls to fidget spinners. Together these short, immersive chapters on a wealth of objects tell the fascinating story of our shifting ideas about childhood and its meaning in our lives.

A History of the Tudors in 100 Objects - John Matusiak - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A History of the Tudors in 100 Objects - John Matusiak - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This seminal period of British history is a far-off world in which poverty, violence and superstition went hand-in-hand with opulence, religious virtue and a thriving cultural landscape, at once familiar and alien to the modern reader. John Matusiak sets out to shed new light on the lives and times of the Tudors by exploring the objects they left behind. Among them, a silver-gilt board badge discarded at Bosworth Field when Henry VII won the English crown; a signet ring that may have belonged to Shakespeare; the infamous Halifax gibbet, on which some 100 people were executed; scientific advancements such as a prosthetic arm and the first flushing toilet; and curiosities including a ladies’ sun mask, ‘Prince Arthur’s hutch’ and the Danny jewel, which was believed to be made from the horn of a unicorn. The whole vivid panorama of Tudor life is laid bare in this thought-provoking and frequently myth-shattering narrative, which is firmly founded upon contemporary accounts and the most up-to-date results of modern scholarship. "Everything you wanted to know about the Merrie England of the Tudors and some things you probably did not. If the Tudors seem far removed, they are also curiously modern. They had spectacles and metal prosthetic arms, while a “fuming pot” was but a prototype Air Wick. Matusiak’s mini essays accompanying the photographs are perfectly sculpted and the book is beautiful to hold." - Charlotte Heathcote, The Sunday Express
