German Colonialism: A Short History

Germany was a latecomer to the colonial world of the late nineteenth century but this history of German colonialism makes clear the wide-reaching consequences of Germany's short-lived colonial project. Sebastian Conrad charts the expansion of the empire from its origins in the acquisition of substantial territories in present day Togo, Cameroon, Namibia and Tanzania to new settlements in East Asia and the Pacific and reveals the colonialist culture which permeated the German nation and its politics.

Winter HolidayWinter Holiday

Dick and Dorothea Callum, colloquially known as "the D's", have come to stay at Dixon's Farm, on the lake shore above Wild Cat Island, for a week at the end of the winter holidays. Whilst there they see, and soon make contact with, the Swallows and the Amazons, who are themselves staying at their usual "native settlements" at Holly Howe and Beckfoot. The Swallows and Amazons explain that they have planned a winter expedition to the North Pole.
