Table of Contents:       In this book, Lisa Jardine assembles new research in political and social history, together with the histories of art, music, gardening and science, to show how Dutch tolerance, resourcefulness and commercial acumen had effectively conquered Britain long before William of Orange and his English wife arrived to rule in London. This is the remarkable story of the relationship between two of Europe's most important colonial powers at the dawn of the modern age. Jardine demonstrates how individuals such as Christopher Wren, Isaac Newton and successive generations of the remarkable Huygens family, usually represented as isolated geniuses working in the enclosed environment of the country of their birth, in fact developed their ideas within a context of easy Anglo-Dutch relations that laid the vital groundwork for the European Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution.--From publisher description.  England invaded by the Dutch: the conquest that never was -- From invasion to Glorious Revolution: editing out the Dutch -- Royal and almost-royal families: 'how England came to be ruled by an Orange' -- Designing Dutch princely rule: the cultural diplomacy of 'Mr. Huggins' -- Auction, exchange, traffic and trickle-down: Dutch influence on English art -- Double portraits: mixed and companionate marriages -- Consorts of viols, theorbos and Anglo-Dutch voices -- Masters of all they survey: Anglo-Dutch passion for gardens and gardening -- Paradise on earth: garnering riches and bringing them home -- Anglo-Dutch exchange and the new science: a chapter of accidents -- Science under the microscope: more Anglo-Dutch misunderstandings -- Anglo-Dutch influence abroad: competition, market forces and money markets on a global scale -- Conclusion: Going Dutch

Table of Contents:       America experienced unprecedented expansion and turmoil in the years between 1815 and 1848. Historian David S. Reynolds illuminates the period's political story as well as the social and cultural movements that influenced it. He casts fresh light on Andrew Jackson, who redefined the presidency, along with John Quincy Adams and James K. Polk, who expanded the nation's territory and strengthened its position internationally. Waking Giant captures the turbulence of a democracy in the throes of the controversy over slavery, the rise of capitalism, and the birth of urbanization. Reynolds reveals dimensions of the Second Great Awakening with its sects, cults, and self-styled prophets. He uncovers the political roots of some of America's greatest authors and artists, and brings to life the reformers, abolitionists, and temperance advocates who struggled to correct America's worst social ills.--From publisher description.  Forging a national identity -- Political fights, popular fêtes -- Jackson's presidency: democracy and power -- God's many kingdoms -- Reforms, panaceas, inventions, fads -- Rebellion and renaissance -- Party politics and manifest destiny
