Free Download Anastasia Yiangou, "The Greeks and the British in the Levant, 1800-1960s: Between Empires and Nations "
English | ISBN: 1472467809 | 2016 | 234 pages | EPUB | 886 KB
This book explores the concept of ‘the Levant’ as a component of the regional and international system during the age of imperialism. At its heart is a focus on the experience of Greek-speaking societies and, above all, the independent state of Greece that came into existence in 1830. A key sub-theme running through the account is the Anglo-Hellenic connection stemming from an enhanced British presence in the Eastern Mediterranean from the 1830s and 1840s, and in particular its relationship to the Greek polity. Within this framework the emergence of the idea of ‘Greater Greece’ is integrated into the narrative, including its regional reverberations and ethnic tensions. Other contributions examine trade and finance, gender issues, colonialism and the distinctive experience of Cyprus.

Free Download British Housebuilders: History & Analysis By Fred Wellings(auth.)
2006 | 298 Pages | ISBN: 1405149183 | PDF | 3 MB
British Housebuilders is the first comprehensive account of the corporate history of the twentieth-century speculative housebuilding industry – the firms that `supplied` those houses and the entrepreneurs who created those firms.The transition from the local housebuilders of the 1930s, through the regional diversification of the 1960s, to the national housebuilders of today is charted via a series of industry league tables. The rationale for the growth in national firms is analysed. The conventional explanation of economies of scale is rejected: instead, the stock market is found to play a key role both in facilitating acquisitions and in demanding growth from its constituent companies.The supply-side analysis also addresses the frequent corporate failures: succession issues, lack of focus and the 1974 and 1990 recessions have played their part in equal measure.British Housebuilders provides the first opportunity to review the evidence drawn from a century of speculative housebuilding; it is only with this historical perspective that sound judgements can be made on the corporate role in housebuilding.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-31): Chapter 2 The Pre?war Housebuilders (pages 34-54): Chapter 3 War and Building Controls (pages 55-61): Chapter 4 The Post?war Housing Boom 1955-1973 (pages 66-80): Chapter 5 Recession and Recovery, 1973-1988 (pages 82-91): Chapter 6 Recession and Recovery Again, 1989-2004 (pages 93-104): Chapter 7 Market Share Through the Century: A Summary (pages 105-111): Chapter 8 Who Were the Builders?

English | 1999 | ISBN: 0714648752, 0714644293 | EPUB | pages: 380 | 3.0 mb
John Fisher explores the acquisitive thinking which, from the autumn of 1914, drove the Mesopotamian Expedition, and examines the political issues, international and imperial, delegated to a War Cabinet committee under Lord Curzon. The motives of Curzon and others in attempting to obtain a privileged political position in the Hejaz are studied in the context of inter-Allied suspicions and Turkish intrigues in the Arabian Peninsula. This is a penetrating study of war imperialism, when statesmen contemplated strong measures of control in several areas of the Middle East.
