The great siege of Malta / Marcus Bull. "A major new account of the epic siege of the island fortress of Malta. Even as the great siege began it was understood by both sides to be an epic - a potentially decisive encounter between an uneasy assortment of soldiers, native Maltese, adventurers and Knights Hospitaller on a strategically crucial but near waterless island and a vast, seemingly all-powerful Ottoman armada. With three quarters of the Mediterranean's coasts already in the hands of the Sultan and his allies, all eyes were now on Malta. This superb new account of the siege emphasises the crucial importance of the siege while at the same time putting it in a far wider context. While since mistakenlyrecast as a climactic battle between the West and the East, it was also much more interesting and nuanced than that - both sides had many other interests and priorities beyond Malta. Suleiman the Magnificent had conquered and subsumed regions from Hungary to the Persian Gulf; Philip II was building an empire in America and Asia. Drawing on a wide range of eyewitness stories, Marcus Bull gives a vivid sense of the period's technologies, values and assumptions. It was a grim world built on the labour of many thousands of disposable galley-slaves, shockingly brutal forms of warfare and religious absolutism. But it was also a world filled with the most extraordinary new discoveries and ideas. Both these worlds come together in the siege and in this book"--Publisher's description. 2025. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 945.8502

Captain Vancouver : north-west navigator A biography of George Vancouver (1757-1798), best known for his expedition in 1791-95 to explore and chart the North Western Pacific coast of North America. Born in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, Vancouver joined the Royal Navy in 1771 sailing on HMS Endeavour and HMS Discovery as part of Cook's second and third voyages. In 1791, as lieutenant he left England in command of a new HMS Discovery and HMS Chatham on an expedition to explore the Pacific visiting Cape Town, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, and Hawaii before heading to North America. There Vancouver visited the coastlines of what are now British Columbia, Alaska, Washington State, Oregon and California before returning to England. Promoted to Captain towards the end of his voyage, Vancouver's reputation was damaged as a result of high profile disputes which were said to have arisen during the course of his expedition including one with Thomas Pitt, cousin of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger. Vancouver died in obscurity in 1798. 2000 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(100)"1791/1795"
