THE GOTHA SUMMER The German Daytime Air Raids on England, May – August 1917 C.M.White In this dramatic account of a little known aspect of World War, C.M.White (my father) presents the first complete survey of the eight Gotha Raids and considers the long and short term effects of this new and devastating form of warfare. First published in 1986, the book became a well-respected reference document across the world. “On 13 June, 1917 a squadron of German heavy bombing aircraft appeared in the sky above London and without warning proceeded to drop four tons of bombs on the horrified citizens below. The raid was impudently staged in broad daylight, and it exposed serious deficiencies in England’s defenses. In subsequent raids the enemy bombers continued to evade the English guns and aircraft with brazen ease and it became increasingly obvious that England was unable to repel this new and lethal form of attack As the number of casualties and extent of the devastation increased, so the angry voices raised in protest grew louder.... A shaken government hastily began the task of rebuilding the air defence system, in a sweeping review of air organization and strategies which was to result in the formation of the Royal Air Force . I sincerely hope that you enjoy the detail contained within his book My very best wishes Ursula Dowd (Daughter)

Secrets of the Gotha: Private Lives of Royal Families of Europe by G.De Diesbach.

In a little more than a decade, economist Michael A. Lebowitz has written several major works about the transition from socialism to capitalism: Beyond Capital(winner of the Deutscher Prize), Build It Now, The Socialist Alternative, and The Contradictions of “Real Socialism.” Here, he develops and deepens the analysis contained in those pathbreaking works by tracing major issues in socialist thought from the nineteenth century through the twenty-first.Lebowitz explores the obvious but almost universally ignored fact that as human beings work together to produce society’s goods and services, we also “produce” something else: namely, ourselves. Human beings are shaped by circumstances, and any vision of socialism that ignores this fact is bound to fail, or, at best, reproduce the alienation of labor that is endemic to capitalism. But how can people transform their circumstances in a way that allows them to re-organize production and, at the same time, fulfill their human potential? Lebowitz sets out to answer this question first by examining Marx’s Critique of the Gotha Programme, and from there investigates the experiences of the Soviet Union and more recent efforts to build socialism in Venezuela. He argues that socialism in the twenty-first century must be animated by a central vision, in three parts: social ownership of the means of production, social production organized by workers, and the satisfaction of communal needs and communal purposes. These essays repay careful reading and reflection, and prove Lebowitz to be one of the foremost Marxist thinkers of this era.

The upsurge in publishing in the sixteenth century turned the Reformation into a media event, and printed products of every kind superseded the communication methods used thus far. Flyers were particularly successful in reaching their audiences as an easily affordable information medium. Renowned artists such as Hans Sebald Beham, Lucas Cranach Sr, Albrecht Dürer and Michael Ostendorfer produced the woodcuts for these single-sheet prints, which thematised the political, religious and societal happenings of the time. Portraits of protagonists, such as Luther and Karl V., but also fables and proverbs as well as reports on miracles and celestial phenomena, catastrophes and crime all found their platform in these pages. One of the largest collections of illustrated single-sheet prints in the Palace Museum of the Stiftung Schloss Friedenstein in Gotha provides a rich treasure trove of prints that informed the Reformation. The Gotha inventory of around 700 flyers from 1480 to 1599 is today considered unprecedented. Now for the first time it has been published in its entirety.Text in German.

Requiem Totenfeier Beckert / Thueringen Philharmonie Gotha - CD 761203775521

The first royal genealogy devoted exclusively to the more than 670 descendants of the Queen Empress and her consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Provides a detailed portrait of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha who overcame sarcasm and ridicule after his investiture as Prince of Bulgaria to rule his country amid the turbulent political and diplomatic climate of turn-of-the-century Europe.

The queen of Portugal's correspondence with queen Victoria gives us a fantastic insight into the private life of two powerful women, both married to princes of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who are struggling to conciliate motherhood with the responsibility (and pleasure) of power. When only seven years old, Maria da Gloria became queen of Portugal. A country, on the other side of the ocean, where she had never been. She grew up in Brazil, spending the long warm days between the green hillocks and the white sandy beaches, secure in the love of her dearest mother, Leopoldina of Austria. The only shadow cast over this happiness was her father's mistress, Domitília, the favourite and most famous mistress of D. Pedro, the emperor of Brazil. In 1828 she departed for Vienna to be educated in her grandfather's court, but when she lost the throne to her uncle Miguel, she ended up in London. She became King George IV's protégé and he commissioned Lawrence to paint her portrait (on this book's cover). During her stay in London she met the heir presumptive, Alexandrina Victoria, and they forged a close bond that lasted a lifetime. When she was fourteen, the civil war was coming to an end and D. Maria set foot, for the first time, on her country's soil. Finally on the throne, she promised herself that she would be a good queen, and a happier one than her dearest mother had been. Her marriage to D. Fernando of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, father of her eleven children, was truly blissful, as she confides in her letters to her "Dear cousin Victoria" - now a queen herself, and married to Fernando's first cousin, Albert.

Caroline of Ansbach (1683–1737), Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (1719–1772), and Charlotte of Mecklenberg-Strelitz (1744–1818) were three German princesses who became Queens Consort—or, in the case of Augusta, Queen in Waiting, Regent, and Princess Dowager—of Great Britain, and were linked by their early years at European princely courts, their curiosity, aspirations, and an investment in Enlightenment thought. This sumptuously illustrated book considers the ways these powerful, intelligent women left enduring marks on British culture through a wide range of activities: the promotion of the court as a dynamic forum of the Hanoverian regime; the enrichment of the royal collection of art; the advancement of science and industry; and the creation of gardens and menageries.  Objects included range from spectacular state portraits to pedagogical toys to plant and animal specimens, and reveal how the new and novel intermingled with the traditional.
