The History of the Renaissance World: From the Rediscovery of Aristotle to the Conquest of Constantinople

A lively and fascinating narrative history about the birth of the modern world. Beginning in the heady days just after the First Crusade, this volume—the third in the series that began with The History of the Ancient World and The History of the Medieval World—chronicles the contradictions of a world in transition. Popes continue to preach crusade, but the hope of a Christian empire comes to a bloody end at the walls of Constantinople. Aristotelian logic and Greek rationality blossom while the Inquisition gathers strength. As kings and emperors continue to insist on their divine rights, ordinary people all over the world seize power: the lingayats of India, the Jacquerie of France, the Red Turbans of China, and the peasants of England. New threats appear, as the Ottomans emerge from a tiny Turkish village and the Mongols ride out of the East to set the world on fire. New currencies are forged, new weapons invented, and world-changing catastrophes alter the landscape: the Little Ice Age and the Great Famine kill millions; the Black Death, millions more. In the chaos of these epoch-making events, our own world begins to take shape. Impressively researched and brilliantly told, The History of the Renaissance World offers not just the names, dates, and facts but the memorable characters who illuminate the years between 1100 and 1453—years that marked a sea change in mankind’s perception of the world.

She had been Richard II's heiress, and after her death in 1382, her claim had
passed to her son. The upshot was that Henry IV, although popular with his
people, was vulnerable to challenge. And the first years of his rule were
particularly tumultu- ous. Wales had been part of the English empire for over a
century, but now a wealthy Welsh farmer named Owain Glyndwr took advantage
of Henry's insecure crown and called his countrymen to follow him to
independence. Early in 1401, he ...

Migration and the Origins of the English Atlantic World

England's seventeenth-century colonial empire in North America and the Caribbean was created by migration. The quickening pace of this essential migration is captured in the London port register of 1635, the largest extant port register for any single year in the colonial period and unique in its record of migration to America and to the European continent. Alison Games analyzes the 7,500 people who traveled from London in that year, recreating individual careers, exploring colonial societies at a time of emerging viability, and delineating a world sustained and defined by migration. The colonial travelers were bound for the major regions of English settlement--New England, the Chesapeake, the West Indies, and Bermuda--and included ministers, governors, soldiers, planters, merchants, and members of some major colonial dynasties--Winthrops, Saltonstalls, and Eliots. Many of these passengers were indentured servants. Games shows that however much they tried, the travelers from London were unable to recreate England in their overseas outposts. They dwelled in chaotic, precarious, and hybrid societies where New World exigencies overpowered the force of custom. Patterns of repeat and return migration cemented these inchoate colonial outposts into a larger Atlantic community. Together, the migrants' stories offer a new social history of the seventeenth century. For the origins and integration of the English Atlantic world, Games illustrates the primary importance of the first half of the seventeenth century.

These interpretations have depended heavily on English temperament or
geographic origin as main explanations for the varied nature of colonial societies.
But the men and women who ventured to the American colonies in 1635 varied in
other important features, especially demographic attributes captured in age
structures and sex ratios, which were equally significant in constraining overseas
travel and colonial settlements. The consequence of these variations was
skewed ...

Sovereignty and Possession in the English New World

The Legal Foundations of Empire, 1576-1640

How did English notions of sovereignty, empire and law impact their methods of settlement in the Americas?

At the same time, Elizabeth was holding prisoner her cousin, Mary Queen of
Scots, whom domestic and foreign Catholics intrigued to place on the English
throne. It was also toward the end of the 1570s that Elizabeth began outwardly
showing sympathy for the Dutch desire to revolt against the Spanish rule of Philip
II, the queen's former brother-in-law and suitor. Within this tenuous political
climate, in which a few false steps in the direction of North America could lead to
war, Elizabeth ...

Gerakan 30 September 1965

kesaksian Letkol (Pnb.) Heru Atmodjo

Testimony of Heru Atmodjo, an Indonesian Air Force pilot, on the coup d'etat of Gerakan 30 September 1965.

Dalam persidangannya Untung mengaku bahwa ia tidak pernah memberikan
perintah untuk menduduki gedung-gedung tersebut. Jadi dapat diambil
kesimpulan bahwa mungkin Pringgodani mengeluarkan perintah itu untuk
memastikan bahwa semua pesan-pesan yang perlu dapat disiarkan, sedangkan
pesan-pesan yang lainnya dihalangi. Pendudukan terhadap bangunan-

Tembak Bung Karno, Rugi 30 Sen

Sisi Lain Putra Sang Fajar yang Tak Terungkap

Pernyataan yang menyepelekan keberadaan Sukarno! Begitulah gaya Westerling mencibir Sukarno, musuh bebuyutannya, yang tertuang pada buku berjudul Mijin Memoires yang ditulisnya sendiri. Ia secara terang-terangan menilai bahwa pelurunya lebih mahal daripada nyawa Sukarno. Kekejaman dan kebengisan Westerling dalam melakukan pemberontakan di Indonesia sudah menorehkan trauma, baik itu dari para korban maupun mantan anak buahnya sendiri. Anehnya, sosok Westerling kebal hukum! Ia lolos dari jeratan vonis penjahat perang. Teka-teki imunitas Westerling itu akhirnya terkuak belum lama ini. Ternyata, seorang Vice-Roi, tokoh sangat berpengaruh di Belanda, selama ini telah membentengi Westerling supaya kepentingan politisnya tidak terbongkar. Kisah sarat fakta historis seputar Sukarno yang belum terekspos luas tertulis dalam buku ini. Semuanya tentang lika-liku Sukarno pada masa perjuangan, kejayaan, hingga terbenamnya. Putra sang Fajar ini memiliki banyak sisi kehidupan yang sejatinya layak diungkap supaya generasi penerus bangsa ini mampu mengangkat martabat dan ledaulatan bangsa sederajat dengan bangsa lain. Kecintaan Sukarno terhadap Republik ini selalu bersemayam dalam jiwanya. Terbukti, ketika meninggalkan istana karena kursi kepresidenan diduduki Soeharto tangan kanan Sukarno tampak menggenggam sesuatu yang sangat berharga. Hanya satu benda yang dibawa Bung Karno ketika meninggalkan istana. Tak lain, tak bukan, adalah bendera pusaka hasil jahitan tangan istrinya, Fatmawati. Gaya penulisan yang ringan, dan mudah dicerna, dan jauh dari kesan "berat" menjadi kekuatan buku ini. Di sini, kita bisa terhanyut, terperangah, bahkan terkegum-kagum dengan mozaik Sukarno yang benar-benar menggugah hati kita. Buku terbitan GalangPress (Galangpress Group).

The Origins of Islamic Reformism in Southeast Asia

Networks of Malay-Indonesian and Middle Eastern 'Ulam?' in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

Professor Azra's meticulous study, using sources from the Middle East itself, shows how scholars in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were reconstructing the intellectual and socio-moral foundation of Muslim societies.
