![]() And so the great ships were left to rot and the records of their journey were destroyed. Their journey would last for over two years and take them around the globe but by the time they returned home, China was beginning its long, self-imposed isolation from the world it had so recently embraced. ![]() Their mission was 'to proceed all the way to the end of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas' and unite the world in Confucian harmony.

In the years before and after she died, those who knew Diana, like Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, her butler Paul Burrell, her ex-lover James Hewitt, her housekeeper Wendy Berry, her bodyguard Ken Wharfe, and her former employer Mary Robertson-among others-offered their insights in book form. There's far more where that bestseller came from. In the early 1990s, Diana told her account in the headline-making biography Diana: Her True Story-in Her Own Words written by Andrew Morton, which likely informed part of The Crown. Unlike most of the other characters in The Crown, like Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, Diana has spoken candidly about being royal-and she was blisteringly honest. ![]() For further insight, turn to books about Princess Diana. ![]() ![]() Season 4 of The Crown gives an intimate perspective on Diana's experiences while part of the Windsor family's inner circle. ![]() ![]() ![]() "A winsome love story and compelling family drama an idyllic small-town setting and surprising twists and turns.

This essay assesses how mainstream historians’ reception of Metahistory unfolded from the 1970s, and with what consequences. There were two receptions of White’s work: the first, amply documented, was among intellectual historians and others in humanities’ disciplines, especially literary theory the second took place within the mainstream of the discipline and has received little attention. It also celebrated the ethics and art of history-writing and diminished historians’ empirical claims. ![]() ![]() The book urged historians to grapple with whether and how their writing creates rather than reflects reality. ![]() Hayden White’s 1973 Metahistory tossed the entire concept of historical science out the window, claiming that historians are fundamentally artists who imbue historical action with aesthetic and ethical purpose. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a wonderful companion to Sleepy Hollow. More than half the book are visuals but it's a good blend with information provided. There are lots of pictures included in the form of concept art (not many), TV stills, 3D renders of locations and scenes, photos behind the scenes of actors and close ups of props and makeup. TV shows nowadays are pretty good when it comes to dressing up their sets and coming up with good designs comparable to Hollywood film standards. I enjoy reading about how they create the makeup for all the different monsters featured. Each character and location is accompanied by commentary. Highlight of the book is the insightful and interesting commentary that talks about the filming process, actors, the making of the costumes, special effects, storytelling and the mythology of Sleepy Hollow. It's not an episodic guide although of course it makes references to the episodes where the characters and monsters appear. The 176-page paperback focuses on the characters, monsters and locations, making a total of 48 chapters. ![]() This is more of a visual companion rather than an artbook, and it's a nice companion to the TV series Sleepy Hollow authored by Tara Bennett and Paul Terry. ![]() ![]() I managed to finish reading this in one sitting and it's quite an enjoyable read. ![]() ![]() ![]() (A fourth son, Edmund, was killed in the war.)
