Amongst the Great Powers, Great Britain thereafter played the most critical role in struggles to expand the frontiers of Greece beyond their initially confined extent. Through a focus on events leading to the cession of the Ionian Islands to Greece in 1864, the often bloody process of Cretan unification climaxing in 1913, the adhesion of the Dodecanese to Greece in 1948, and the travails of British colonial rule in Cyprus through to independence in 1960, the book develops a comparative overview of the United Kingdom's engagements with the modern Hellenic experience.  At the heart of the various themes covered by this volume is the interaction between internal and external forces shaping the futures of divided island societies. In exploring the resulting patterns the authors provide an original insight into the political and social morphology of the eastern Mediterranean. Although the principal context is provided by Anglo-Hellenic relations, the nature of the struggles necessitate a close attention to Ottoman decline and post-Ottoman succession, Great Power rivalries, ethnic and communal disintegration, the early history of international peace-keeping, and decolonization after 1945.  In tracing these preoccupations, the often neglected significance of the eastern Mediterranean is more accurately situated in relation to British authority overseas and its limits. Although the policy process is carefully charted, the essential concern is with struggles of mastery within islands where Britons and Greeks, amongst others, found themselves frequently at odds. In evoking the engagement between British power and Hellenic nationalism, a fresh perspective is given to the modern history of the eastern Mediterranean, and the Balkan and Near Eastern worlds to which they were intimately connected.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49643058921745,"sku":"GOR009193298","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51089272176913,"sku":"NIN9780199249961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52516226466065,"sku":"NLS9780199249961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0199249962.jpg?v=1751356702"},{"product_id":"appraisal-and-repair-of-reinforced-concrete-book-robert-holland-9780727725837","title":"Appraisal and Repair of Reinforced Concrete","description":"Un g nie du crime, un savant fou, et une s rie de myst res   r soudre: voil  ce qui vous attend dans Le Myst rieux Docteur Corn lius de Gustave Le Rouge.

Charting the `inner history' of a violent colonial Emergency, it provides a case-study of the dilemmas posed by the challenge of terrorism overseas after 1945.    Robert Holland analyses the evolution of a political settlement which, almost uniquely in the British `end of empire', slid beyond the United Kingdom's control. He considers the effects of the revolt on the politics of the surrounding region, particularly in relation to the emerging ethnic struggle between Greeks and Turks. His work offers a fresh perspective on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern developments, including the involvement of NATO and the United States, in the age of the Suez Crisis and its aftermath.    This account is essential reading for anybody interested in the liquidation of the British Empire, the breakdown of ethnic co-existence under intense pressure, and the effects of regional destabilization on the wider international system.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51146971447569,"sku":"NIN9780198205388","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52402309267729,"sku":"NLS9780198205388","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0198205384.jpg?v=1750843075"},{"product_id":"glossary-of-words-used-in-the-county-of-chester-1886-book-robert-holland-9780548715529","title":"A Glossary Of Words Used In The County Of Chester (1886)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51211782881553,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51211785797905,"sku":"NIN9780548715529","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0548715521.jpg?v=1750699112"},{"product_id":"iconography-of-independence-book-robert-holland-9780415853743","title":"The Iconography of Independence","description":"This book explores the phenomenon of Independence Days. These rituals had complex meanings both in the territories concerned and in Britain as the imperial metropole, where they were extensively reported in the press. The text is concerned with the political management, associated rhetoric and iconography of these seminal celebrations. The focus is therefore very much on political culture in a broad sense, and changing perceptions and presentations over time. Highlights of the book include an overview by David Cannadine relating the topic to ornamentalism, invented tradition and transitions in British culture. Although the book is mainly concerned with the British Empire, Martin Shipway – a leading historian and cultural analyst of French decolonization – contributes an acute summary of how the same ‘moment’ was handled differently in the other great European empires.

Many owners still take care of the horses and ponies they had when they were younger. And these horses don't ask for much--just a place to live, food to eat, and a little love and attention. But owners can do more for their older equine friends. The aging process in horses, like in humans, affects all of the body's tissues, organs, and systems. But when kept in good health, many older horses are sound enough to be ridden well into their twenties, and for some, even into their thirties. However, practical information to help in caring for older horses has been difficult to find. Understanding the Older Horse provides owners with the guidelines necessary to give their equine senior citizens the best care possible. Written by Dr. Robert E. Holland, who drew upon his veterinary work as well as his childhood experiences caring for an older horse, Understanding the Older Horse emphasizes the importance of developing a complete and consistent wellness management program to fit each horse's needs. An appendix includes a sample wellness management care plan, a body condition scoring system, and blank charts to track your older horse's vaccinations, deworming, dental and foot care, and medical history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51629244481809,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51629244612881,"sku":"NGR9781493080786","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1493080784.jpg?v=1751117089"},{"product_id":"chicago-in-maps-book-robert-holland-9780847827435","title":"Chicago in Maps","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51819104796945,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51819105288465,"sku":"CIN0847827437VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52410660258065,"sku":"CIN0847827437A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53549085065489,"sku":"CIN0847827437G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780847827435.jpg?v=1752528018"},{"product_id":"emergencies-and-disorder-in-the-european-empires-after-1945-book-robert-holland-9780714645162","title":"Emergencies and Disorder in the European Empires After 1945","description":"Bringing together for the first time leading historians of European decolonization, this book is a landmark in the comparative analysis of the fall of the European empires, viewed both as a problematic of European policy-making and as a formative experience in the development of new states.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52335638348049,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335639036177,"sku":"NLS9780714645162","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780714645162.jpg?v=1758160650"},{"product_id":"glossary-of-words-used-in-the-county-of-chester-book-robert-holland-9789354035135","title":"A glossary of words used in the County of Chester","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689981505809,"sku":"NLS9789354035135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789354035135.jpg?v=1762336667"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-robert-holland.oembed?page=2","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
