This volume sheds light on the pride of the region - the great medieval churches of York Minster, the Minster and St Mary at Beverley, and Holy Trinity, Hull but also on less well known architectural pleasures of town and county. Outstanding Victorian village churches, including masterpieces by Street & Pearson, are as rewarding as the major country houses of Burton Agnes, Burton Constable and Sledmere. The countryside offers a wide range of monuments, from the beautifully sited ruins of Kirkham Priory to the spectacular Humber Bridge. Farmhouses and cottages of the Wolds, picturesque estate villages and chapels, and industrial structures are all brought into focus. A large section is devoted to York and includes a survey of the historic buildings of the city centre from the Roman period onwards. This is complemented by a detailed exploration of York's eighteenth and nineteenth-century suburbs. Equal care has been applied to the descriptions of Beverley, with its attractive townscape, and the port of Hull, where unexpected highlights include seventeenth-century merchant houses, Georgian almshouses, ornate Victorian pubs and grand Edwardian public buildings.

This interdisciplinary book is the first systematic study of the relationship between nationalism and war and, as such, makes an original contribution to theories of nationalism and state formation. It offers a dynamic and interactive framework by which to understand the role of warfare in its changing manifestations in the rise of nation-states, the formation of national communities, definitions of political rights and duties, and the transformation from a world of empires to one of nation states. Nationalism and War scrutinizes existing approaches that view both nations and nationalism as recent products of martial state-building that began with the military revolutions in Europe, and argues that nationalism and national communities emerged independently in the Middle Ages to shape both war-making and state-building. This book also explores the connection between war commemoration and the creation of nations as sacralized communities that offer meaning and purpose to a world marked by unpredictable change. It shows how nationalist military revolutions led to the downfall of Empires in total war and the mass production of postcolonial nation states. But problems of security have also inspired recurring patterns of re-imperialization. This book refutes claims that we are now in a global and post-national era where traumatic accounts have replaced the heroic narratives that once sustained nation-states. Finally, it appraises approaches that claim there is an inherent connection between nationalism and collective violence, arguing such connections are largely contingent.

The Imperfect Union. A History of Corruption in american trade. In the spring of 1957, the United States Senate authorized an investigation of improper practices in American labor-managment raltions. The inquiry lasted for three years, and its 46,510 pages of testimony revealed conflicts of interest, breaches of faith, bribery, extortion, theft, and vilence on the part of union officials and others in the pursuit of private gain. It was the most devastating indictment of American trade union behavior ever compiled. The thesis of this book is that trade union corruption is fundamentally a problem of the society in which it takes place. The aim of the book is understanding rather than accusation and remedy rather than retribution. Tracing the history of corruption throughout the country from 1890 to today, detailing the rise of the gangs, the abuse of welfare funds, the Teamsters, the textile worker, the long--shoremen, the machinations of the AFL-CIO, John Huthinson also reveals the companions of the employers who throughout the history of American business have sought by cheating and violence to circuvent the strictures of competition and unionism. The Imperfect Union is a major historical achievement-and as relevant as today's headlines.
