Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He founded perhaps the most famous dynasty in history: the Tudors. Yet, in 1485 when Henry Tudor defeated Richard III to become King Henry VII, he possessed the most anemic claim to the throne since William the Conqueror. In defiance of the norms of medieval rule, he transformed England from an insolvent, often divided country in the waning years of the Wars of the Roses into an emerging modern state upon his death in 1509, a legacy inherited by his larger-than-life heir, Henry VIII. How did this happen? Through impressive archival research over several decades and a provocative perspective, Daring Dynasty illuminates what occurred by exploring key aspects of Henry’s reign, which included a dark side to royal policy. It will provide historians, students, history enthusiasts and devotees of “all things Tudor” with an understanding of how the populace and political players melded into a nation through the efforts of its king and his government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Wittek’s The Rise of the Ottoman Empire was first published by the Royal Asiatic Society in 1938 and has been out of print for more than a quarter of a century. The present reissue of the text also brings together translations of some of his other studies on Ottoman history; eight closely interconnected writings on the period from the founding of the state to the Fall of Constantinople and the reign of Mehmed II. Most of these pieces reproduces the texts of lectures or conference papers delivered by Wittek between 1936 and 1938 when he was teaching at Université Libré in Brussels, Belgium. The books or journals in which they were originally published are for the most part inaccessible except in specialist libraries, in a period when Wittek's activities as an Ottoman historian, in particular his formulations regarding the origins and subsequent history of the Ottoman state (the "Ghazi thesis"), are coming under increasing study within the Anglo-Saxon world of scholarship. An introduction by Colin Heywood sets Wittek's work in its historical and historiographical context for the benefit of those students who were not privileged to experience it firsthand. This reissue and recontextualizing of Wittek’s pioneering work on early Ottoman history makes a valuable contribution to the field and to the historiography of Asian and Middle Eastern history generally.

Book excerpt: Reference entries, overview essays, and primary source document excerpts survey the history and unveil the successes and failures of the longest-lasting European empire. The Holy Roman Empire endured for ten centuries. This book surveys the history of the empire from the formation of a Frankish Kingdom in the sixth century through the efforts of Charlemagne to unify the West around A.D. 800, the conflicts between emperors and popes in the High Middle Ages, and the Reformation and the Wars of Religion in the Early Modern period to the empire's collapse under Napoleonic rule. A historical overview and timeline are followed by sections on government and politics, organization and administration, individuals, groups and organizations, key events, the military, objects and artifacts, and key places. Each of these topical sections begins with an overview essay, which is followed by alphabetically arranged reference entries on significant topics. The book includes a selection of primary source documents, each of which is introduced by a contextualizing headnote, and closes with a selected, general bibliography.

Book excerpt: In ancient China, the Origin of the universe was called Dao. Dao theory is the ultimate theory established by ancient Chinese thinkers based on the Origin of the universe. It is used to explain all basic phenomena in the universe, to guide people's thoughts and behaviors, and to establish a just and perfect society. Consciousness, soul and life are the most important phenomena in the universe and also the most difficult to explain. Using Dao theory, we can explain and study human soul, consciousness, emotions, feelings and life. Although consciousness, soul and life have complex and difficult sides, they also have simple and easy-to-understand sides. The basic principles that form consciousness, soul, and life are simple; Even if you only have a middle school or even elementary school education, you can understand it as long as you put in the effort. Dao theory is composed of Yin-yang theory and Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching). This book is divided into three parts: the first part briefly introduces the Dao theory founded by ancient Chinese thinkers; introduces the yin-yang theory, using the Yin-yang theory to explain consciousness, emotions and feelings; introduces the three major worlds that make up the universe: the Dao world, the Soul world and Human world. The second part translates and interprets the Dao Morality Scripture. The third part introduces the application of Dao theory in contemporary human society. In Dao Morality Scripture, Lao Zi advocates "zero-action", "keeping the middle", "pure-quiet", "fraternity" and "contentment". When you understand consciousness, you will know that what Lao Zi said is correct. To correctly understand the Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching), it is recommended that you first understand the basic principles of consciousness. The universe was created by Dao, and the theories established based on Dao must be able to explain all basic phenomena of the universe. This book proves that Dao is the most perfect spiritual body in the universe; therefore, the theory established based on Dao will definitely be able to guide mankind to establish a perfect world. At present, problems faced in the fields of consciousness, life science, physics and other fields need to be solved by Dao theory; various problems faced by human society also need to be solved by Dao theory. Dao theory is the most basic theory that everyone should understand: If you want to understand the Origin of universe and understand why the universe is produced from emptiness, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to understand consciousness, soul and life, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to know what the correct beliefs and codes of conduct are, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a politician or public official and want to find the correct theory of establishing a country, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a student or researcher of philosophy, social science, natural science or religion, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. …… This book is available in two editions: the popular edition and the physical edition.
