The fact that London was parliamentarian rather than royalist was
one of the principal reasons for the defeat of Charles I in the
English Civil War. This book reinterprets London's role. It
examines the relation of the municipality and of the City fathers
as business magnates with both of the early Stuart kings and their
parliaments, and explores the business connections of the City with
the royal court, concluding that, far from being the natural allies
of the king and court as is generally assumed, the City elite had
mostly been seriously alienated from them by 1640. Professor Ashton
offers an interpretation not only of the City's role in the years
before 1640 but also of the reasons lying behind its support for
parliament in 1642. It is both a contribution to the debate on the
origins of the Civil War and a study in depth of the connection
between big business and politics in early Stuart England.

While much has been written on the subject of the English Civil
War, the Second Civil War has been largely neglected. Robert
Ashton, author of the standard history, The English Civil War, now
provides a detailed and erudite account of the origins of the
Second Civil War, covering the years from the end of the First
Civil War, in 1646, to late 1648, the eve of the trial and
execution of Charles I. After Parliament defeated the king's forces
in the First Civil War, says Ashton, there followed an uneasy
period of double dealing within Parliament, between Parliament and
its Scots allies, between Parliament and the king, and between
Parliament and the Army. After two years of mounting tension, war
again broke out in 1648 in a series of regional risings,
culminating in an invasion by the Scots and their defeat at
Preston. Ashton explains how the royalists found the support to
take up arms again in 1648. Analyzing regional, county, and
national developments in England, as well as events in Wales,
Scotland, and Ireland, he isolates the social, political,
institutional, and religious factors that helped to alienate
conservative elements from the victorious parliamentary faction. He
shows why so many Scotsmen who had fought alongside the English
roundheads entered the second war on the king's side in 1648 and
how this resulted in a disastrous split within the Scottish
political nation. And he explores not only why former supporters of
Parliament deserted their allies and embraced the royalist cause,
but also why others did not. The book concludes by considering the
main characteristics of insurgency in the Second Civil War and the
reasons for and consequences of its failure.

Great copywriting just got easier It's strange to think that there
was a time when only the privileged few could read or write. The
rest of us relied on the spoken word. Storytelling was used to pass
knowledge on from one generation to the next. Now, most of us are
literate and use the written word to gather information and inform
our decision making. Increasingly we do this online, with social
media and messaging enabling rapid, spontaneous global
communication. But rather than freeing us from the need for clear,
effective written communication, it actually makes good
communication even more important. The less we communicate face to
face, the greater the opportunity for misunderstandings. Of course,
all writing communicates your message to people you cannot see and
may never meet. It means you can influence more widely; it also
means you must take care not to make assumptions aboutyour reader,
especially those who see your public postings. Successful
copywriting is constructed from carefully selected words, each with
a clear purpose. It is written to prompt feelings, thoughts or
actions. It is clear, concise and at times comforting. It is also
comprehensible, even to those not yet confident users of your
language. Reading this book, and following the techniques it
introduces, will make you a more effective writer. Expertise in
grammar is not needed as all the necessary jargon is simply defined
and, anyway, some forms of business writing deliberately
ignorerules. This book is for people who want to write for results.
Each of the seven chapters in Copywriting In A Week covers a
different aspect: - Sunday: Focusing your message - Monday: Using
layout, pictures and colour to make words memorable - Tuesday:
Writing effective letters - Wednesday: Making advertising work for
you - Thursday: Communicating clearly with the media - Friday:
Preparing promotional print - Saturday: Composing proposals and
presentation visuals
