An essential eyewitness account of the later battles of the Peninsular WarOriginally titled, ' Vicissitudes of a Soldier's Life: Or a series of Occurrences from 1806 to 1815', this book is sometimes confused with another book of 'vicissitudes' penned by a Scottish soldier of this period. There have been, of course, several eyewitness accounts penned by soldiers from the ranks of the British Army serving during the wars against Napoleon's French Empire that have been republished and which-for one reason or another-have been rightly well regarded. Some, including those by Morris, Wheeler, Harris and Lawrence have also become well-known. This account by John Green of the 68th regiment may not be so familiar to many readers, though it is without doubt one of the most engaging narratives of its kind. Green's is a candid, educated and-perhaps-surprisingly modern voice as he graphically recounts his experiences and sufferings on campaign with the 68th. His first experience of war was during the disastrous Walcheren Expedition of 1809 before the regiment embarked for Spain. Green's descriptions transport the reader in time and place ensuring that his account joins the ranks of the finest military memoirs. His descriptions of hard campaigning and his opinions of the lot of the ordinary soldier are invaluable. The battles of Salamanca and Vittoria are described from the sharp-end of the conflict, but Green's later recollections of the fighting in borderlands with France until the time of his serious wound and beyond are essential. Contains illustrations original to this edition. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket..

How did time begin? What conditions led to humans evolving on Earth? Will we survive the Anthropocene? And is it really true that we’re all made from stars? Combining knowledge from chemistry, biology, and physics, with insights from the social sciences and humanities, A Brief History of the Last 13.8 Billion Years follows the continuum of historical change in the cosmos — from the Big Bang, through the evolution of life, to human history. In this compelling and revealing book, David Baker traces the rise of complexity in the cosmos, from the first atoms to the first life and then to humans and the things we have made. He shows us how simple clumps of hydrogen gas transformed into complex human societies. This approach — Big History — allows us to see beyond the chaos of human affairs to the overall trajectory. Finally, Baker looks at the dramatic and sudden changes we’re making to our planet and its biosphere and how history hints at what might come next.

Succéförfattaren John Green har med ungdomsromaner som ”Förr eller senare exploderar jag”, ”Pappersstäder” och ”Sköldpaddor hela vägen ner” fått läsare och följare över hela världen. I sin vlog på YouTube, film och i böcker berör han oss med berättelser om livet, kärleken och döden och allt däremellan. Nu är John Green aktuell med en samling betraktelser, en sorts recensionssamling om man så vill, över den tidsperiod som kallas antropocen. Geniala texter över vår tid och hur vi lever i den. Hela planeten och allt som lever där påverkas av människans handlingar. Innan John Green blev succéförfattare av kolossalformat skrev han bland annat bokrecensioner. Han inleder den här samlingen av betygsatta mänskliga ansträngningar med att resonera kring den femgradiga skala som ofta används idag. Att vi alla har blivit recensenter som ständigt uppmanas att recensera det vi upplever. Därefter recenserar John Green allt från QWERT-tangentbordet, sången "You’ll Never Walk Alone", solnedgångar, kanadagäss, Diet Dr Pepper, Halleys komet till ”The Great Gatsby”. Det är roligt. Allmänbildande. Underhållande. Bitterljuvt. Personligt. Det är en mästerlig samling texter för och om vår samtid.

En samling morsomme, rørende, smukke og ind i mellem meget personlige essays fra John Green, som tager steder, begreber og produkter – og en vis pandemi - fra menneskets tidsalder under kærlig behandling. Vi kommer rundt om så forskellige ting som Pingvinerne fra Madagaskar, internettet, solnedgange, teddybjørne og meningitis, og Green kalder selv bogen en form for mini-memoirer. Teksterne handler dog lige så meget om at være forelsket i den verden, vi lever i og om at kunne se det smukke i de små ting på trods af pandemier og postmoderne stress. Til alle unge og voksne YA-læsere, der elsker John Green og filosofiske betragtninger om verden.
