Henry VI and the Politics of Kingship

The Yamaha FS1-E is a 1970s icon. Introduced in the early 70s, it became an instant success, giving sixteen year olds their first taste of motorcycle performance and freedom, and totally overshadowing the other mopeds available at that time. Many riders had their FS1-E for only one year before progressing to larger machines. Today, nostalgia for the youthful exuberance engendered by the 'Fizzie' has resulted in many ex-owners wanting to recreate their pride and joy. Most FS1E's have not endured the test of time well, and very few good original examples exist. There are plenty of restorable machines around and this book guides the do-it-yourself restorer through the minefield of initially finding a machine to restore and the pitfalls of a first restoration.

Political Society in Later Medieval England

Women need to understand the power of the V and men need to respect it! Through understanding, women will rediscover the joy, honor, and power of woman- hood, and no longer allow themselves to be subservient, power- less, or abused by disrespectful men. When men respect and realize this power, they will rediscover what true love, real value, and equality are about in a relationship. A loving relationship should be balanced and fulfilling for both partners, not a bitter power struggle with a winner and loser. This is what Power of the V is all about. Power of the V takes real stories and captures a raw glance of how women view their power and how men fail to understand it. Power of the V also reveals positive, practical steps for both men and women to share their individual power. This type of power will help in creating more passion, more respect, and more love in their lives. These stories will enlighten you. . . empowering you like never before.

It brings together the key arguments and beliefs espoused by an array of the top minds in the 'free thought' movement, a philosophical school that prized rationality and logic over dogma. It's a must-read for those interested in learning more about philosophy in user-friendly, bite-sized essays.

Half-Hours with the Freethinkers

Jean-Philippe Genet

How did the kings of England and France govern their kingdoms? This volume, the product of a ten-year international project, brings together specialists in late medieval England and France to explore the multiple mechanisms by which monarchs exercised their power in the final centuries of the Middle Ages. Collaborative chapters, mostly co-written by experts in each kingdom, cover topics ranging from courts, military networks and public finance; office, justice and the men of the church; to political representation, petitioning, cultural conceptions of political society; and the role of those excluded from formal involvement in politics. The result is a richly detailed and innovative comparison of the nature of government and political life, seen from the point of view of how the king ruled his kingdom, but bringing to bear the methods of social, cultural and economic history to understand the underlying armature of royal power.
