Churchill
Andrew Roberts (1963) is een van de bekendste en productiefste historici van Engeland, die ook in Nederland diepe indruk maakte met zijn baanbrekende biografieën Napoleon de Grote, Churchill en George III. Het leven van de meest onbegrepen koning van Engeland. ‘Absoluut de beste eendelige biografie van Churchill ooit geschreven.’ The New York Times ‘Prachtboek. (…) Roberts laat op overtuigende wijze zien dat de mensen die Churchill aanvallen veelal hun bronnen niet kennen, zonder dat hij van zijn protagonist een held met sneeuwwit blazoen maakt.’ NRC Handelsblad ••••• ‘Hoewel Roberts’ biografie twaalfhonderd pagina’s telt, is het een weergaloze, gestroomlijnde vertelling. Hij balanceert perfect tussen politieke analyse en karakterschets. Ik las meer Churchill-biografieën dan goed voor me is, en geen enkele las ik met een groter plezier dan deze van Andrew Roberts.’ Joost de Vries, De Groene Amsterdammer ‘Roberts heeft van Churchill een man van vlees en bloed gemaakt. Iemand met heuse emoties.’ De Telegraaf ‘Andrew Roberts vertelt Churchills verhaal met overtuigend veel beheersing en cachet. Hij schrijft elegant, met af en toe scherpe opmerkingen, en heeft zowel zijn bronnen als de enorme historiografie compleet onder controle. Voor een boek van ruim duizend pagina’s zijn er verrassend genoeg geen longueurs. (…) Dit is absoluut de beste eendelige biografie van Churchill ooit geschreven.’ The New York Times ‘Dit is de soort biografie die – dat kun je voelen – Churchill zelf gewild zou hebben. Kolossaal, energiek, zeer goed geïnformeerd, met de nodige kritische kanttekeningen maar ook sympathiek en, met vlagen, geweldig grappig.’ The Sunday Telegraph

Uganda
Bradt’s Uganda has for many years been considered the go-to source of information for travellers interested in this extraordinary country, which boasts Africa’s most biodiverse – and arguably most exciting – safari circuit. Written by Philip Briggs, the world’s foremost guidebook writer on Africa, this new tenth edition of the most detailed travel guidebook available to Uganda has been thoroughly updated by local resident and experienced travel writer Andrew Roberts. Uganda excels for wildlife-watching, and recent transport improvements now make for relatively easy year-round access to key sites. Visit the lush montane forests of Bwindi, which protect one of the world’s largest remaining populations of mountain gorillas, watch habituated chimpanzees in Kibale and tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, or enjoy outstanding birdwatching throughout – with more than a thousand bird species in a country similar in size to Oregon. As well as treating readers to a full-colour wildlife section with over 100 colour photographs, Bradt’s Uganda guides visitors around key wildlife-watching experiences. It provides up-to-date coverage of gorilla-tracking options, describing gorilla groups and their locations – everything anyone who dreams of encountering these remarkable primates needs to know. Uganda is not just about wildlife. Hikers love some of Africa’s tallest mountains, notably the snow-capped Rwenzori (the ‘Mountains of the Moon’), the massive collapsed caldera that tops Mount Elgon, and the steep forest-swathed volcanic peaks of the Virungas. A highlight for adrenaline junkies is rafting the ‘Grade Five’ white-water rapids on the Nile shortly after it emerges from the inland sea that is Lake Victoria. In this tenth edition, carefully selected accommodation listings have been updated, providing critical appraisals of optimum options in each price bracket. While tourism has long focused on western Uganda, this edition strengthens attention on the country’s remote northeast corner, which is emerging as a popular destination that includes the untrammelled savannah of Kidepo National Park and offers opportunities to interact with traditional Karamojong pastoralists. Boasting detailed maps of the country, updated or created from scratch using GPS, and all the travel advice a visitor might want, Bradt’s Uganda remains the essential companion guide to this compelling country.

Napoleon and His Marshals
The award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Churchill and Napoleon vividly captures the team of rivals who propelled history's greatest warrior to victory.Napoleon appointed twenty-six men Marshals of the Empire, a position he created to honor his most important Generals. He encouraged competition among them for titles, for wealth, but above all, for glory. Only instead of creating a team of rivals, as Lincoln so famously did, he forged a nest of vipers. A masterful biographer with a gift for capturing flawed heroes in all their vitality and self-delusion, Andrew Roberts invites us into the lives and loves of these elite warriors, whose rivalries shaped the fate of Europe. The marshals were the swords behind Napoleon's throne. Their valor burnished his aura of invincibility. Through their lives we follow the rise and fall of one of history's most captivating leaders, who forged an empire greater than Caesar's from the embers of France's first failed effort at democracy. Napoleon rose to power amidst the fervor and mayhem of the French Revolution, bringing order after years of violence and upheaval. He established new laws, championed new technologies, and pioneered new approaches to government and education, but his defeat ushered in the return of autocratic absolutism. Was he a genius or a tyrant? From the vantage point of his marshals, the answer may be both. Over a quarter of Napoleon's Marshals died violent deaths. Only two would be at his side at Waterloo. But many would remember what it was like to be there, fighting to make a new world. Napoleon and his Marshals is a profound exploration of transformative leadership by a man uniquely gifted at rallying the troops, who fatefully mistrusted those whose loyalty he needed to survive.

Healthcare Delivery for Children with Medical Complexity
This book describes the state of the art of pediatric complex care, sharing the authors' decades of experience in an academic health center to illustrate points. The authors are pediatric generalist and subspecialist providers, among others, who care for children with medical complexity in a Pediatric Complex Care program. Children with medical complexity (CMC) are a small yet impactful pediatric population, a subset of children with special healthcare needs that include multi-system, non-categorical, chronic conditions, high resource and technology dependencies, medical fragility, and functional impairments. CMC do not fit into traditional systems of care. They require the continuous collaboration of pediatric subspecialists, community and public health partners, and family caregivers. The field of Pediatric Complex Care is rapidly evolving, yet lacks a well-prepared workforce built on clear educational competencies and clinical guidelines. In this compact volume, the authors review models of care for CMC, and how these models intersect with larger public health systems, dependent on collaborative networks of community-based and family partnerships. They explore ethical considerations, including implications for policy and practice. Among the topics covered are:The Specialty and Scope of Complex Care PediatricsEthical Considerations in the Care of Children with Medical ComplexityImplications for Policy and PracticeHealthcare Delivery for Children with Medical Complexity: The State of the Art and Future Directions is an essential resource for all medical professionals who care for CMC, public policy makers, medical educators, healthcare leaders, and community partners and stakeholders.
