The World at War 1939-1945. .f wear to edges This is a study of the greatest and most terrible event in history, which shows its impact upon hundreds of millions of people around the world - soldiers, sailors and airmen; British housewives and Indian peasants; SS killers and the citizens of Leningrad, some of whom resorted to cannibalism during the city's two-year siege; Japanese suicide pilots and American carrier crews.l Reflecting Max Hasting's thirty-five years of research on the Second World War, this book describes the course of events during the war, but focuses chiefly upon human experience, which varied immensely from campaign to campaign, cintinent to cntinents.

Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Consuming Passions. Leisure and Pleasure in Victorian Britain. Date written neatly to inside cover. Price clipped to D/J. This book tells the fascinating story of how, over two centuries, leisure became an industry, offering a cornucopia of entertainment for a new mass audience, as demand was fuelled by newspapers, by advertising, by publicity - all eghteenth century creations. Josiah Wedgwood invented money-bnack guarantees and celebrity endorsements; in the following century Charles Harrod and Gordon Selfridge aggressively extended the possibilities of marketing and publicity for their department stores. The seaside and tourism, newspapers and novels, concerts, museums and shopping arcades - all part of the new consumer world. From Aston Villa#s origins in a Sunday-school to Thomas Cook's temperance tours, from Asquascutum to W. H. Smith, the author reveals how, building on revolutions in science, technology and industry, an entirely new world was created, a world of thrilling new shopping sensations, lavish spectacle and wild theatricality - the world , in fact, of today.
