Creating the Opium War : British imperial attitudes towards China, 1792-
1840
.
"Creating the Opium War examines British imperial attitudes towards China during their early encounters from the Macartney embassy to the outbreak of the Opium War - a deeply consequential event which arguably reshaped relations between China and the West in the next century. It makes the first attempt to bring together the political history of Sino-western relations and the cultural studies of British representations of China, as a new way of explaining the origins of the conflict. The book focuses on a crucial period (1792-1840), which scholars such as Kitson and Markley have recently compared in importance to that of American and French Revolutions. By examining a wealth of primary materials, some in more detail than ever before, this study reveals how the idea of war against China was created out of changing British perceptions of the country."--Provided by the publisher.

Picture history of the Cunard line,
1840
-1990 / Frank O. Braynard and William H. Miller, Jr.
This illustrated history contains over 180 black and white photographs depicting the ships of the Cunard Line. Started in 1840, the line was the result of Samuel Cunard's dream to provide a regular transatlantic mail and passenger steamship service and it quickly became the hallmark of excellence by which other shipping companies were judged. Text and photographs tell the history of over 70 Cunard Line ships from the first, Britannia, launched from Liverpool in 1840, to famous names such as Mauretania and her ill-fated sister ship, Lusitania, and the iconic cruise liners Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2. Photographs show the liners at sea and in port as well as featuring interiors and life aboard ship.
