That remains a mystery, but what is certain is the fact that throughout Great Britain's long history, its people have left their mark in the arts, science, politics, and more. Captain James Cook charting the unknown regions of the Hawaiian Islands and Beatle John Lennon writing songs that made it to the top of the popular music charts were both pioneers in their fields. The Tudor monarchs Henry VIII and Elizabeth I lived when majesty bore a very different concept from that experienced by Princess Diana, yet all three made their marks on the regal state. Winston Churchill was so dedicated to the role of the monarch that he supported Edward VIII in his quest to make an American divorcee his queen; Oliver Cromwell was so opposed to kings that he supported a death sentence against Charles I, but each leader played his part in the British government. Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin, two of the leading scientists of their eras, explored new frontiers of research that have transformed modern civilization. William Shakespeare, who is so much a cornerstone of drama and language that his role can never be completely quantified, typifies the extraordinary contributions of his fellow Britons. The history of civilization could not be written without the inclusion of these iconic men and women of Great Britain. Join me in learning about these great men! It's by studying their lives that we gain a sense, not only of who they were, but of what Great Britain has become because of their influence. If any of these men were to be taken out of history's record, the ensuing gap would be enormous. As we study the past, we can look back on their achievements and be glad that we journey upon the roads that they paved for history to travel.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49522955223313,"sku":"GOR008288666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1522905863.jpg?v=1750958605"},{"product_id":"history-book-dominique-atkinson-9781522905288","title":"History","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDiscover the Lives of the Women that Forever Changed the Course of History !!\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cb\u003eThis Book Contains the Fundamental History, Early Influences, Life Changing Events, \u0026amp; Lasting Impact of Historical Figures such as Eve, Cleopatra, Isabel the Catholic, Marie Curie, Winnie Mandela, Benazir Bhutto, Juana Azurduy and Many Others!\u003c\/b\u003e The 21st century stands witness to the achievements of some of the most influential women in the world. And yet, no matter how today's movers and shakers stand in contemporary rankings, how can we compare them to the giants of the past, the women who took history in their bare hands and bent it to their will? Whether they strode upon the stages of military power or at the altars of religious belief, they have left their marks on civilization. Eva, Juana Azurduy, Isabel the Catholic, Marie Curie, Winnie Mandela \u0026amp; Benazir Bhutto were women whose lives changed the course of history. They would have been remarkable in any era in which they were born. But by living when they did, each defined the times in which they lived. Their actions transformed the imprint of their countries and the world. Eve, the prototype for the female gender, got things off to a bad start. Condemned by the male power structure for millennia following Eve's surrender to temptation, the fair sex received generations of unfair treatment based upon Eve's error in judgment. The fact that Adam was just as guilty managed to get a pass as authority was deemed the destiny of males because women had proven themselves weak and flawed. Women were expected to know their place, to accept their subjugation to the husbands and fathers who were given authority over them, and to obey without question. When, throughout history, women emerged from obscurity to take their place in government, science, struggles for liberty, the arts, or other arenas where they were expected to remain spectators and not performers, they were judged by a set of standards that regarded their gender as more important than their achievements. When they succeeded, as Cleopatra did in defending her realm, Isabella the Catholic did in ruling Castile, or Victoria did in reigning over an empire, they challenged the preconceived notions that believed a male would have done a better job. When they were trailblazers, as Marie Curie was in science, Mary Wollstonecraft in medicine, Benazir Bhutto and Hillary Rodham Clinton in politics, Winnie Mandela in activism, and Juana Azurduy in battle, they fought two battles: one to achieve their goals, the other against a power structure that would value a man's accomplishments over a woman's. They endured condemnation, hostility, scorn, poverty, violence, and even death in their crusades!The body of knowledge around this subject is so extensive that Dominique Atkinson has skillfully compressed thousands of books, scriptures and teachings of these historical figures into this easy to read book. Of each of these Great Women, you will learn who they were, where they came from, who influenced them, the fundamental turning points in their lives, and what where their lasting contributions to the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50388149895441,"sku":"CIN1522905286G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033739526417,"sku":"NIN9781522905288","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1522905286.jpg?v=1750860605"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/great-people-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
