The dramatic true story of the betrayal of hundreds of Indian princely states by both the departing British and the new Congress government. In July 1947, India's last Viceroy, Lord Louis Mountbatten, stood before New Delhi's Chamber of Princes to deliver the most important speech of his career. He had just three weeks to convince over 550 sovereign princely states--some tiny, some the size of Britain--to become part of a free India. Once Britain's most faithful allies, the princes could choose between joining India or Pakistan, or declaring independence. This is a saga of intrigue, brinkmanship and broken promises, wrought by Mountbatten and two of independent India's founding fathers: the country's most senior civil servant, V.P. Menon, and Congress strongman Vallabhbhai Patel. What India's architects described as a 'bloodless revolution' was anything but, as violence engulfed Kashmir and Indian troops crushed Hyderabad's dreams of independence. Most princes accepted the inevitable, exchanging their power for guarantees of privileges and titles in perpetuity. But these dynasties were still led to extinction--not by the sword, but by political expediency--leaving them with little more than fading memories of a glorified past.

An insider’s gossipy, tell-all account of pre-revolutionary royal life, full of scandals, rivalries, and affairs, among the great dynasties of Europe. In the wake of World War I, a series of revolutions ended the reign of Europe’s last great royal families. Much has been written about how these dynasties—the Romanovs of Russia, the Hapsburgs of Austria, and the Hohenzollerns of Germany—helped shaped the events of their own demise. But in Secrets of Dethroned Royalty, Princess Catherine Radziwill pulls back the royal curtain to reveal a sordid, personal portrait of greatness in decline. A Polish-Russian aristocrat, Princess Catherine Radziwill had a famous penchant for scandal. First published in 1920, Secrets of Dethroned Royalty is a candid collection of events and anecdotes, all recounted as only she could tell them.

Gerrard Hickson proposes here a series of alternative theories of astronomy, the place of the Earth and Sun in the universe, and the mathematics of the cosmos. After a revelatory experience, Gerrard Hickson began to dispute the distances involved between the Earth and the Sun. This book broadens and expands its scope, questioning the validity of underlying assumptions in astronomical science. Using the work of the ancient Greek and Roman scientists as a starting point, Hickson takes us forward through millennia of developments, asserting throughout that the basis of established science is unsound and thus in need of substantial overhaul. The later chapters of this book are occupied with refuting the theories propagated by the physicist Albert Einstein. Conceding that the notion of relativity is clever, Hickson nevertheless posits that it is based on unsound assumptions and is thus invalid. For the author, relativity is - alongside Newtonian physics and earlier theories of antiquity - a further step toward the wrongness that defines conventional astronomy. Although his ideas gained some notice for their novelty, the alternative hypotheses of astronomy posited by Hickson have been discredited. Successful use of conventional astronomic calculations in fields such as avionics, rocketry, space exploration, and communication satellites have affirmed that established mathematics and distances agreed on by science are sound. However, Hickson's theories remain a curiosity - it is to sate this that this book is reprinted, complete with the author's own illustrated diagrams.

What is the score card for economics at the start of the new millennium? While there are many different schools of economic thought, it is the neo-classical school, with its alleged understanding and simplistic advocacy of the market, that has become equated in the public mind with economics. This book shows that virtually every aspect of conventional neo-classical economics' thinking is intellectually unsound. Steve Keen draws on an impressive array of advanced critical thinking. He constitutes a profound critique of the principle concepts, theories, and methodologies of the mainstream discipline. Keen raises grave doubts about economics' pretensions to established scientific status and its reliability as a guide to understanding the real world of economic life and its policy-making.

What makes certain types of money better than others? What consequences will you face when strangers suddenly mass produce your money, or when the authorities, whose very job it is to preserve monetary integrity, choose to pursue debasements and tinkering? While little discussed today, these questions address the problems on account of which many cultures and civilizations have collapsed and perished, and despite being neglected, they are no less critical for the present. Money Dethroned is a historical journey following the travels of some of humanity's most renowned explorers, investigating the history and evolution of money through their first-hand accounts. Combining economic theory, it explores the nature of money, its notable characteristics, and how the dynamics which cause its rise and demise have shaped the course of history.
