188,95 kr. When Henry V became king of England in 1413 he inherited an exhausted realm. The coup d'etat in which Henry's father deposed his uncle Richard II had left deep political fault-lines; the impact of the Black Death still lingered; public finances and law and order were in crisis. To the outside world, England was irrelevant, the glorious victories over France won by Henry's grandfather Edward III at Cre¿cy and Poitiers largely forgotten.But, in less than a decade, Henry transformed England. He reunited the political community behind the crown, reformed the justice system, invested heavily in shipbuilding, put down rebellions and secured England's borders. In foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more. And, by defeating a larger and better-equipped French army at the battle of Agincourt in 1415, he brought about the union of the crowns of England and France, an achievement which ranks Henry alongside medieval rulers such as Charlemagne, William the Conqueror and Frederick Hohenstaufen. In terms of his military genius and force of personality, Henry was arguably the closest thing England ever produced to a Napoleon Bonaparte. And Agincourt was his Austerlitz.

198,95 kr. For the Dogs, the war has only just begun.Caught up in the siege of Calais, in the midst of a brutal eleven-month blockade of a small port on the French coast, they are no longer blindly walking into the unknown. But the men still have more questions than answers about what faces them - and why. What are they really fighting for? And why does the king care so much about taking such a small French town? The Dogs aren't paid to ask questions but in their work, they have the means to make people talk. Soon, their journey will reveal who really wants this war to last for a hundred years. And as the battle rages, they hear the first, faint, chesty rattle of a natural disaster that is sweeping towards the Dogs and their world . . .Spanning the siege city built outside Calais' walls, to the pirate ships patrolling the harbour, and into the dark corners of oligarchs' houses, where the deals that shape - and end - lives are made, this captivating and brutal story brings the 1300s effortlessly to life. About money, merchants and the mediaeval 'deep state', this is a must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.Praise for Essex Dogs:'A new champion has entered the front line of historical fiction to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bernard Cornwell.' Jane Johnson 'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' Daily Mail 'A busy, urgent little masterpiece.' Graham Hurley 'With a cast of unforgettable characters, written with irrepressible verve and historical accuracy, Dan Jones delivers a compelling novel that thrums with swordswinging energy.'

- The Wars of the Roses and the Rise of the Tudors
148,95 kr. 'The Hollow Crown is exhilarating, epic, blood-and-roses history . . . Jones's material is thrilling . . . There is fine scholarly intuition on display here and a mastery of the grand narrative; it is a supremely skilful piece of storytelling.' Sunday TelegraphThe fifteenth century saw the crown of England change hands seven times as the great families of England fought to the death for power, majesty and the right to rule. The Hollow Crown completes Dan Jones' epic history of medieval England, and describes how the Plantagenets tore themselves apart to be finally replaced by the Tudors.Some of the greatest heroes and villains in British history were thrown together in these turbulent times: Henry V, whose victory at Agincourt and prudent rule at home marked the high point of the medieval monarchy; Edward IV, who was handed his crown by the scheming soldier Warwick the Kingmaker, before their alliance collapsed into a fight to the death; and the last Plantagenet, Richard III, who stole the throne and murdered his own nephews, the Princes in the Tower. Finally, the Tudors arrived - but even their rule was only made certain in the 1520s, when Henry VIII ruthlessly hunted down his family's last remaining enemies.In the midst this tumult, chivalry was reborn, the printing press arrived and the Renaissance began to flourish. With vivid descriptions of the battle of Towton, where 28,000 men died in a single morning, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, at which Richard III was hacked down, this is the real story behind Shakespeare's famous history plays.

The thrilling, unmissable follow-up to Wolves of Winter by Sunday Times bestselling historian, Dan Jones, following the fortunes of ordinary soldiers in the early years of the Hundred Years' War. Three years after the Essex Dogs battled through the Siege of Calais, the Black Death has torn through Europe. Romford, basking in his new riches, now finds himself living as a squire in the glamorous court of King Edward III. Loveday, whose businesses have been destroyed by the plague, is desperate to avoid returning to the life he vowed to abandon: fighting. And Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille. Each Dog has scattered in a radically different direction. But something is about to bring them back together... Praise for THE ESSEX DOGS TRILOGY 'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!' ALICE WINN'A book that draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best, turning up tension click by click.' CONN IGGULDEN 'This is the Hundred Years' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a historian's eye for detail.' ELODIE HARPER'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' DAILY MAIL

278,95 kr. 'A historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist.' - ObserverHenry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months, and died at the age of just 35, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. The victor of Agincourt was remembered as the acme of kingship, a model to be closely imitated by his successors. William Shakespeare deployed Henry V as a study in youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship. In the dark days of World War II, Henry's victories in France were presented by British filmmakers as exemplars for a people existentially threatened by Nazism. Churchill called Henry 'a gleam of splendour in the dark, troubled story of medieval England', while for one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, 'the greatest man who ever ruled England'. For Dan Jones, Henry is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down. He was a hardened, sometimes brutal, warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic, with a bookish temperament. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who misjudged his friends and family members, yet always seemed to triumph when it mattered. As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, put down rebellions and secured England's borders; in foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more. Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses. Dan Jones's life of Henry V stands out for the generous amount of space it allots to the critical first 26 years of his life before he became king. Both standalone biography and a completion of Dan's sequence of English medieval histories that began with The Plantagenets and The Hollow Crown, Henry V is a thrilling and unmissable life of England's greatest king from our best-selling medieval historian.

- A revolutionary way to get your child to sleep at night
113,95 kr. Do you want to be able to get your child to sleep at night? Sleepy Bedtime Tales offers a revolutionary way to tell bedtime stories helping to make bedtime a time of peace, calm and sleep for your child.Based on various psychological principles and techniques 'Sleepy Bedtime Tales' bedtime stories guide your child comfortably asleep.These bedtime stories are to be read to your child at bedtime, rather than with your child at bedtime, or by your child at bedtime.These bedtime stories are written to be read mainly to 4-7 year old's, (the bedtime stories work with children as young as 2) as they rest in bed with their eyes shut listening along to the bedtime story.Each of the bedtime stories takes about 10-15 minutes to read.The sleepy bedtime approach was developed over 15 years ago while Dan Jones was working in children's homes with children with emotional and behavioural issues. He needed to find a way to help the children sleep. He had an interest in the way people communicate due to having Asperger's and wanting to learn the skills to fit in with others. So he applied what he had learnt about how people communicate unconsciously and turned his knowledge into this approach.Since that time Dan has taught the approach to children's home staff, family support workers and social workers, and to hundreds of parents, as well as applying the approach himself with children of all ages.The stories in this 'Sleepy Bedtime Tales' book are: - The Rabbit Who Came to Tea- Timmy and the Secret Door - The Princess and the Magical Kitten- The Magical Unicorn- The Spaceman and the Dinosaur - The Swift and the Swallow - The Caterpillar's Dream - The Boy Who Ran Off to the Circus - Adventure of a Time Travelling Worm - The Puppy Who Wanted to Play - The Magical Journey Asleep

- Death, Dying and Loss
93,95 kr. An Autistic Perspective: Death, Dying and Loss is a short book sharing how death, dying, and loss are experienced from the perspective of someone with autism, it explains the observable behaviours, and the thinking behind these behaviours, and what you can do to help the autistic individual to manage these experiencesThe topics of death, dying and loss have interested me since I was a young child. From early on in my life I noticed that people seemed to be uncomfortable talking about these subjects. People would tell me it was morbid, it upsets them, they didn't want to think about it, but to me it was interesting, as it is a part of life that you can't escape. Death, dying and loss will happen to everyone.In September 2014 my dad died, and then in August 2016, my granddad. People started asking if I was okay and telling me it must be so upsetting, and how sad they felt for me. I realised I didn't think about death in this way. I started to process how I think about death, dying, and loss and realised it could be interesting to people to gain insight into how my mind processes these things. I've had people say that they wish they processed things more like how I do, so perhaps some of this will be of help to people in how they can manage death, dying and loss.It is important to note that although I am writing about my own autistic perspective that this perspective won't be shared by all people with autism. Everyone, autistic, and non-autistic, thinks differently. I think there are some similarities that most people with autism will recognise, but they may not share how certain traits express for me personally. Hopefully what I share here will also be of help to parents and carers of those with autism giving some insight into the mind of those with autism helping to explain behaviours they may see and some ideas about how best to approach the subjects of death, dying, and loss with those with autism.In the chapter on loss the main focus is on relationship breakups and on transitions we face, like transitioning from one school to another, or from one job to another, or from living at home to independent living. Although death involves loss and dying involves the awareness that loss will be inevitable, I have tried to keep these areas within their own chapter. In the chapter about dying and death I share about my experiences of people dying and the positive and negative aspects of my way of being in relation to those who are dying, and on death I share about my experiences of death, and how I respond to the death of loved ones.My hope is that by going into detail in an honest and frank way this will help to give insight into the autistic mind, and how my mind processes these areas of life. Throughout the chapters I will share some tips and ideas that parents, carers, partners or friends can do to help the autistic individual, and to understand them and interact with them in a way that respects their model of the world and way of managing things, even if that is almost an alien way to a neuro-typical individual.Then in the conclusion chapter I round up the topics of loss, dying and death, and break down the triad of impairments which are the three areas autistic traits fall into for diagnosis, and go through some areas of these which are common among many with autism sharing what you can do to help the person with autism manage loss, dying and death, and I share some of the additional needs they may have and how these can impact on their handling of loss, dying and death.
