Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenth-century Pallant House in Chichester. It's the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitafields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver, ultimately a synagogue. It's also the story of - among others - a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in London's East End, and what Ideal Home's magazine described in 1926 as Britain's 'first modern house' - in Northampton.Together these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants: their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The English House brilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We have been here before.The king of Saudi Arabia had warned the Americans repeatedly: if you do not treat us with respect, we will cut off your oil. For years, nobody believed him. On 5 October 1973, he made good on his threat.The consequences were immediate. In America, fuel rationing and a 55mph emergency speed limit couldn't stop the lights of Times Square flickering out by Christmas. Across Europe, governments scrambled for secret supplies of oil; Britain's chancellor flew to St Moritz to interrupt the Shah of Iran's skiing holiday and beg for the fuel needed to keep the country running. As panic spread through Western capitals, the world's most powerful economies discovered that their prosperity rested on decisions being made in Riyadh.Embargo is the gripping inside story of the 1973 oil crisis and the small group of leaders who shaped it. It is the story of Faisal, the Saudi King who was born a nomad and became the richest man in the world. Of Ahmed Zaki Yamani, his unflappable Harvard-educated oil minister who drove American oil executives to tears with his steely calm. And of Henry Kissinger, the US statesman who failed to grasp how much leverage the Middle East had acquired over the West until it was too late.Filled with frantic diplomacy and secret negotiations, Embargo follows the race to avert economic catastrophe and restore the flow of oil. In the process, it uncovers a turning point in modern history: the moment the industrialised world discovered how vulnerable its prosperity was to turmoil in the Middle East. More than fifty years later, we are still wrangling with the consequences.…

He was a great, great man. We all loved him very much.' Dame Helen Mirren.…
