DK History Map by Map

Discover the epic history of human exploration and migration, and the stories of fearless pioneers the world over, with this stunning tour of history - map by map. Charting everything from the movement of early Homo species out of Africa some 1.8 million years ago to the astonishing voyages of Polynesian sailors across the Pacific from 4,000 BCE, and from the California Gold Rush to the Race for Space, entries explain the movements of people and cultures who set off into the unknown - in search of adventure or a better life. Specially commissioned maps show the key driving factors of each journey, and why certain routes were chosen over others - whether due to climate, terrain, or territory - while stunning contemporary examples offer fascinating insights into the unique world-views and political motivations of the people who commissioned them, and the cartographers who created them. The voyages of history's greatest explorers - from Zheng He to Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo - are brought to vivid life with accompanying photos, illustrations, and original artefacts, along with recent missions to chart the depths of the oceans and the surface of Mars. And entries also explore the experiences of established Indigenous groups and the impact of settler populations. Packed with fascinating detail and bursting with lavish illustrations, Exploration: Map by Map is a must-have title for anyone who loves maps, history, or the pioneering spirit.

Penguin Monarchs

Part of the "Penguin Monarchs" series, these are short, fresh and informative accounts of England's rulers.

Part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers in a collectible format Henry VII was one of England's unlikeliest monarchs. An exile and outsider with barely a claim to the throne, his victory over Richard III at Bosworth Field seemed to many in 1485 only the latest in the sequence of violent convulsions among England's nobility that would come to be known as the Wars of the Roses - with little to suggest that the obscure Henry would last any longer than his predecessor. To break the cycle of division, usurpation, deposition and murder, he had both to maintain a grip on power and to convince England that his rule was both rightful and effective. Here, Sean Cunningham explores how, in his ruthless and controlling kingship, Henry VII did so, in the process founding the Tudor dynasty.

Treason and Trust

Henry VII (Penguin Monarchs)

Global Icons

Arguably, there is no more important historical figure in contemporary India, after Mahatma Gandhi, than Dr Ambedkar. All political parties seek to lay claim to his legacy. Yet he is not as well known to general readers globally as he deserves to be. To be born into an 'untouchable' family in 1891 would normally have guaranteed a life of neglect, poverty and discrimination. Not only did Ambedkar rise above the circumstances of his birth, but he achieved a level of success that would have been spectacular even for a child of privilege. An heir to millennia of discrimination, he became the first law minister of a free India, in the most impressive cabinet ever assembled in New Delhi. Ultimately he achieved a set of set of distinctions few have matched: he successfully challenged millennia-old discrimination against Dalits ('untouchables'); instituted the world's oldest and farthest-reaching affirmative action programme for them and entrenched it in the constitution; promoted liberal constitutionalism in a traditionally illiberal society; and articulated the most cogent and enduring case for the principles and practices of democracy in a country emerging from imperial rule. Shashi Tharoor's biography stresses Ambedkar's role as a constitutionalist and a builder of democracy as well as a social iconoclast. This book will be a starting point to encourage readers, writers and scholars to engage with Ambedkar's ideas and fight for the principles he stood for.

A short, digestible biography of this important Indian statesman, whose compassion and devotion to public standards should serve as a model for the politicians of our day. -- .

The White Fortress

In this vulnerable and urgent memoir, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant explores the ever-shifting relationship between humans, animals, and the earth through her personal journey to becoming a wildlife ecologist. Growing up in the diverse and bustling California Bay Area, renowned wildlife ecologist Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant always felt worlds away from the white male adventurers she watched explore the wilderness on TV. She dreamed of a future where she could spend sleepless nights under the crowded canopies of the Amazon and the starry skies of the savanna. But as Rae set off on her own journey in the wild, finding her way in a profession where there were few scientists who looked like her, she saw nature’s delicate balance in a new light. In her quest to study the ever-shifting relationship between humans, animals, and place, Rae has realized the vital roles we each play not just as stewards for our land and water, but also for our communities, each other, and ourselves.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wild Life follows Rae from her urban childhood in California and Virginia, to her adventures and explorations in some of the world’s most rugged and remote locales. Hers is a story about a career in the wild spanning nearly two decades, carving a niche for herself as one of very few Black female scientists, and the challenges she has had to overcome, expectations she has had to leave behind, and the many lessons she has learned along the way.&nbsp;Through her personal story of resilience and adaptation, Rae argues for a more connected, more socially and ecologically conscious world.&nbsp;An incredible journey spanning the Great Plains of North America to the rainforests of Madagascar, Wild Life sheds light on our pivotal relationship and responsibility to the natural world and the relatives—both human and otherwise—that we share it with.
