Описание: The British Empire, one of the most powerful forces in history, was also one of the most humane. Yet at its twilight, few were willing to defy the anti-colonial reaction that condemned millions to despotism under the regimes that replaced it. Sir Alan Burns was among them. In this lively and provocative work of history, Bruce Gilley vindicates Sir Alan's view that decolonization was poorly managed and too swiftly executed, a view based not on imperialist nostalgia but on a sober assessment of the ravages of the twentieth century. Gilley demonstrates that Burns understood the benefits of colonial rule and correctly foretold the chaos that accompanied its rapid dissolution. Relying on previously unavailable documentation from Burns's family, The Last Imperialist dethrones the revisionist historians and shatters their unbalanced accusations against European colonialism. This is history writing at its most courageous. "Bruce Gilley has had to endure the most vituperative attacks for arguing that the European empires conferred benefits as well as imposed costs. . . Now, with this absorbing biography . . . Bruce Gilley has written a compelling as well as courageous work." --Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University

Night approaches, and she pulls off the interstate to find a restaurant for a bite to eat and a hotel for the night. Donna, the owner of the restaurant, takes a liking to Rachel and offers her a job and a place to stay when she finds out Rachel is a pastry chef. Rachel accepts the offer and the plot begins as the new pastry chef impresses the entire town of Taylorsville with her wonderful pastries and outgoing personality. The local Pastor spots her running one morning and becomes intrigued by the new lady in his little town. It is not long till he sees Rachel working in the restaurant and finds a way to meet her.

Описание: Men do not generally achieve lifetimes of success alone. Standing with them, sometimes in the shadows, are the women - the mothers, wives, daughters, and companions - who support and help shape the lives of their partners. The Gillette men were not different. This book puts the Gillette women, and their ancestors, in the spotlight. Most of them probably led traditional female lives. They birthed and raised the next generation; many outlived their children. They took care of their homes homes that often moved. Some of these women had specific instances of non-traditional activity which were captured in records that survive today. Each was an individual to be remembered and celebrated. This book is a tribute to them.

Описание: The rise of China is changing the dynamics of the international system. This work analyzes how the group of states referred to as "middle powers" are responding to China's growing economic, diplomatic, and military power. Middle powers are those states with capabilities immediately below those of great powers, but still far above most other states. Middle powers are significant as trading partners and allies or adversaries in matters of regional security, nuclear proliferation, and global governance issues such as human rights and climate change. This book provides cases of middle-power relations with China. The countries covered are South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, South Africa, Turkey, and Brazil. It addresses how these states are responding to a rising China; what impact Chinese power is having on them; and whether they are being drawn to China or repelled by its new power and assertiveness. The work also explores how much (or little) China values middle powers and whether or not middle powers can shape China's behavior.
