Kaiser Wilhelm II is one of the key figures in the history of twentieth-century Europe: King of Prussia and German Emperor from 1888 to the collapse of Germany in 1918 and a crucial player in the events that led to the outbreak of World War I. Following Kaiser Wilhelm's political career from his youth at the Hohenzollern court through the turbulent peacetime decades of the Wilhelmine era into global war and exile, the book presents a new interpretation of this controversial monarch and assesses the impact on Germany of his forty-year reign.
Wyatt Arden thinks he leads a pretty normal life. He lives on a boring, everyday farm outside of a sleepy little town called Ven, doing boring chores for his mom when he's not in school. He yearns for a chance to enlist in the Imperial Army and bring some excitement to his life, but he's sure that will never happen. Wyatt soon learns that it only takes one strange dream for everything normal about his life to change. In that dream, he envisions a beautiful, powerful sword, a blade linked to deep magic and even deeper mysteries. The dream precedes an unexpected series of events that lead Wyatt into a harrowing, life-altering struggle for the lives of his friends, his family, and the world as he knows it. Wyatt must face vicious killers, dark schemers, and beings of such great power that their existence was erased from history. His only weapon? The Humming Blade.

The processes of social change in the late colonial period and early years of the new Republic made a dramatic imprint on the character of American society. These changes over a century or more were rooted in the origins of the United States, its rapid expansion of people and territory, its patterns of economic change and development, and the conflicts that led to its cataclysmic division and reunification through the Civil War. Christopher Clark's brilliant account of these changes in the social relationships of Americans breaks new ground in its emphasis on the connections between the crucial importance of free and unfree labor, regional characteristics, and the sustained tension between arguments for geographic expansion versus economic development. Mr. Clark traces the significance of families and households throughout the period, showing how work and different kinds of labor produced a varied access to power and wealth among free and unfree, male and female, and how the character of social elites was confronted by democratic pressures. He shows how the features of the different regions exercised long-term influences in American society and politics and were modified by pressures for change. And he explains how the widening gap between the claims of free labor and those of slavery fueled the continuing dispute over the best economic course for the nation's future and led ultimately to the Civil War. Like other long-running divisions in American society, however, this dispute was not fully resolved by the war's outcome. Social Change in America is a compelling new overview of the social dynamics of America's early years.

A few years ago, human settlers discovered a marsh-covered valley that they knew would provide fertile cropland if only the marsh could be drained. They built a temporary camp, and then followed the nearby river--the source of the swamp's water--to a neighboring highland where it empties from two cliffs some distance to the north. The settlers dammed the river, diverting its flow into a series of caves that later fed this water into an underground river, and the marsh was soon drained and ready for tilling. They quickly built a settlement (including a dozen farms, a general store, and a livery) and commenced farming this now-exposed lowland. Their crops grew strong and fruitful, and the settlers knew they had found their home. What they did not realize was that the caves into which they had diverted the stream were far from unoccupied. The deflected water flooded a goblin lair, ousting the ornery creatures and reaping their undying hatred. Now, the goblins seek deadly revenge

Die Geschichte Preußens - ein brillant erzähltes Standardwerk Christopher Clark schildert den Aufstieg Preußens vom kleinen, an Bodenschätzen armen Territorium um Berlin zur dominierenden Macht auf dem europäischen Kontinent. Seine brillante Darstellung von über 300 Jahren preußischer Historie ist ein Meisterwerk der Geschichtsschreibung. Die Auflösung Preußens durch ein alliiertes Kontrollratsgesetz am 25. Februar 1947 setzte einen Schlusspunkt unter eine Jahrhunderte alte wechselvolle Geschichte. Der Name Preußen ist untrennbar verbunden mit Aufklärung und Toleranz, verkörpert etwa in Friedrich dem Großen, verbunden aber auch mit Militarismus, Maßlosigkeit und Selbstüberschätzung Wilhelms II. Das Nachdenken über Preußen stand in den letzten Jahrzehnten im Schatten der hitzigen Debatten über die deutsche Geschichte. Doch die Zeit ist reif für einen distanzierten, sensibel wägenden Blick auf dieses große Kapitel der deutschen und europäischen Vergangenheit. Christopher Clark schildert den Aufstieg Preußens vom kleinen, an Bodenschätzen armen Territorium um Berlin zur dominierenden Macht auf dem europäischen Festland und schließlich die Auflösung nach dem Zusammenbruch des Deutschen Reiches. Seine brillante Darstellung von über 300 Jahren preußischer Historie ist ein Meisterwerk angelsächsischer Geschichtsschreibung. * 60. Jahrestag: Auflösung Preußens am 25. Februar 1947 * Unabhängiger, britischer Blick auf die ambivalente preußisch-deutsche Geschichte "Die beste Darstellung der Geschichte Preußens, die es derzeit gibt ... Eine virtuose Leistung." Sunday Times "Sein Werk ist eine historiografische Meisterleistung - und noch dazu hervorragend geschrieben." die tageszeitung "Der britische Historiker Christopher Clark zeigt seinen deutschen Kollegen, was eine preußische Geschichte ist".
