Catherine Houlston Bücher

A history of Cotswold art and architecture, new in paperback

The book shows how children are affected by conflict, explores why they respond to conflict in different ways, and provides clear, practical guidance on the best ways to ameliorate the effects.

A new perspective on the transformation of Croome, the visionaries who shaped it, and its impact on the cultural life of Georgian Britain.

A compelling affirmation of General Sherman's pronouncement that war is hell, this memoir gives a vivid picture of what it was like to be a foot soldier in the greatest conflict in human history. It describes the final stages of this conflict as it raged from the Normandy beachhead across France and Germany to the River Elbe in 1944 and 1945. An important historical source, it captures in words the black humor, monotony, and mind-numbing horror of combat portrayed on films like Saving Private Ryan. The book includes maps tracing the events described in the memoir, along with illustrations and a glossary of military terms to enhance its accessibility for today's readers. A valuable resource for students, teachers, and anyone else striving to understand better the tumultuous 20th century.
