| Rough Crossings by Simon Schama - "Rough Crossings" is the astonishing story of the struggle to freedom by thousands of African-American slaves who fled the plantations to fight behind British lines in the American War of Independence. With gripping, powerfully vivid story-telling, Simon Schama follows the escaped blacks into the fires of the war, and into freezing, inhospitable Nova Scotia where many who had served the Crown were betrayed in their promises to receive land at the war's end. Their fate became entwined with British... |

| Art and Photography: Simon Schama's Power of Art by Simon Schama (2006) - 'Great art has dreadful manners...' Simon Schama observes at the start of his epic exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. 'The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things, visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs. Merciless and wily, the greatest paintings grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure and then proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality...' With the same disarming force, "Power... |

| History and Transport: A History of Britain 3 - Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery by Simon Schama, et al. (2004) - The Fate of Empire tells the eventful and exhilarating story of Britain's rise and fall as an imperial power, from the political turmoil of the 1770s to the struggle of present day leaders to forge a prosperous national future. The volume also examines the Romantic generation, the role of women in Victorian England, industrialization, and the liberal empire from Ireland to India, which promised material improvement, but delivered coercion and famine. As in the previous volumes, Schama vividly... |

| History and Transport: A History of Britain by Simon Schama (2003) - This final volume of Schama's acclaimed trilogy, published to accompany the BBC series of the same name, is bound to be as successful as its predecessors. His focus this time is on the British empire, from America's declaration of independence through the heyday of Victorian power to the much-diminished Britain of today. Sometimes brutal yet always brilliant, Schama's prose flows effortlessly across time and continent. In a meticulously researched yet always readable account, he excels at revealing... |

| History and Transport: Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution by Simon Schama (2004) - The most authoritative social, cultural and narrative history of the French Revolution, and one of the great landmarks of modern history publishing. "Monumental...provocative and stylish, Simon Schama's account of the first few years of the great Revolution in France, and of the decades that led up to it, is thoughtful, informed and profoundly revisionist" - Eugen Weber, "The New York Times" Book Review. |

| History and Transport: Dead Certainties: Unwarranted Speculations by Simon Schama (1998) - Simon Schama, the author of "The Embarrassment of Riches" and "Citizens", sets out to tell the history of two certainties, of two deaths. In discussing the "speculations" surrounding them, he finds himself involved in a history he cannot classify - the unpredictable history of stories. On 13 September 1759, General James Wolfe, having led the British troops up the St Lawrence to victory in the Battle of Quebec, died on the Heights of Abraham. Schama examines this death, and how Wolfe was made... |

| History and Transport: Rough Crossings: Britain, the Slaves and the American Revolution by Simon Schama (2005) - Simon Schama’s new book tells two interconnected stories. The first is that of the slaves in late 18th-century America who chose, during the American War of Independence, to trust in the colonial British rather than in the revolutionary forces under George Washington. Voting with their feet, thousands of them fled the plantations on which they laboured and made their way behind the British lines. Many fought against the new American armies, lured by promises of freedom that the revolutionaries... |

| History and Transport: The Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age by Simon Schama (2004) - 'The Embarrassment of Riches is well-named. Schama's method is wonderfully inclusive; with wit and intense curiosity he teases out meaning form every aspect of Dutch seventeenth-century life, from ideas about sea monsters to obsessions about hygiene. One reads it all with mounting enjoyment and at the end one's sense of Dutch civilisation in the Golden Age of Rembrandt and van Diemen is not just salted and enriched -- but remade.' Robert Hughes'Simon Schama writes with grace and wit, and his enthusiasms... |
