Horatio Lord Nelson (Historic Lives)

Brian Lavery


Horatio Lord Nelson (Historic Lives) Brian Lavery Book DescriptionHoratio Nelson (1758-1805) was undoubtedly Britain's greatest naval leader and perhaps the greatest sea commander of all time. Although his complex character often made him enemies and led to mistakes in both his public and private life, he was an unrivaled seaman, an original and brave tactician, and a charismatic leader. Brian Lavery, a renowned expert in naval history, charts Nelson's career from his first naval posting in peacetime, at the age of just 12, to his rapid rise through the ranks, his command of the Mediterranean Fleet in HMS Victory, the transformation of his reputation during the Nile Campaign and his heroic death at Trafalgar. The book examines the forces and events which shaped Nelson's life?the victories and defeats, and the successes and failures?to discover the reasons for his extraordinary fame, both in his own time and to this day. Lavery sets the events of Nelson's maritime career against the backdrop of his personal... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionHoratio Nelson (1758-1805) was undoubtedly Britain's greatest naval leader and perhaps the greatest sea commander of all time.

Memoirs of a Media Maverick

Boyce Richardson


Memoirs of a Media Maverick Boyce Richardson Book DescriptionAn insider's critical account of modern media. Richardson tells the fascinating story of his work, starting in 1945, as a journalist and filmmaker in New Zealand, Australia, India, Britain, and Canada. From the first, he found himself out of synch with the commercial ethos of the mainstream media; yet, as his career propelled him across the world, he became sympathetic to the pressures and changes within his field -- though still devoted to higher goals. He once said: ?Although I have worked in the media most of my life, in a wide variety of functions, my distaste for it has grown with every year, until today I have no hesitation in describing it as appalling.? A prolific author and film director, Richardson's work has focused on Aboriginal peoples, the environment, and human rights. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionAn insider's critical account of modern media.
