Covering topics as diverse as mapping, whaling, trade and the myriad of vessels used to traverse the ocean, Pacific, tells a broad history that extends to current political tensions and the environmental dangers that threaten these islands' existence."--Provided by the publisher. 2019. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 301

Life of a smuggler : fact and fiction /Helen Hollick "'Brandy for the parson, baccy for the clerk...' We have an image, mostly from movies and novels, of a tall ship riding gently at anchor in a moonlit, secluded bay with the 'Gentleman' cheerfully hauling kegs of brandy and tobacco ashore, then disappearing silently into the night shadows to hide their contraband from the excise men in a dark cave or a secret cellar. But how much of the popular idea is fact and how much is fiction? Smuggling was big business - it still is - but who were these derring-do rebels of the past? Were smugglers regarded as the heroes of a community, or were they resented and feared? How effective were the men who tried to uphold the laws against smuggling?"--Provided by the publisher. 2019 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 343.359

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. 2019. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 325.46(42:51)"1792/1840"
