After La Méditerranée, Braudel's most famous work is the three-volume Civilisation Matérielle, Économie et Capitalisme, XV < sup > e </ sup >- XVIII < sup > e </ sup > ( Capitalism and Material Life, 1400-1800 ), which first appeared in 1979.

Here, Hexter dissected Braudel's vast " geohistory ," La Mediteranée marvelling at the organization of the Annales School but pointing out the ironic tensions between the Annales ' rigorous, collaborative, scientific institutional ethos and its leader's passionate, highly personal, often factually inaccurate or poorly sourced book ( for which much of the intellectual labor was carried out from memory while Braudel was in a prisoner-of-war camp ).

The Annales historians did not try to replicate Braudel's vast geographical scope in La Méditerranée.

* Fernand Braudel's La Méditerranée et le Monde Méditerranéen à l ' Epoque de Philippe II is published.

Braudel's work came to define a " second " era of Annales historiography and was very influential throughout the 1960s and 1970s, especially for his work on the Mediterranean region in the era of Philip II of Spain.

The most important work of the Annales school, Fernand Braudel's The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II, contains a traditional Rankean diplomatic history of Philip II's Mediterranean policy, but only as the third and shortest section of a work largely focusing on the broad cycles of history in the longue durée (" long term ").

Braudel's Mediterranean is centered on the sea, but just as important, it is also the desert and the mountains.

However, Braudel's informal successor as head of the school was Le Roy Ladurie, who was unable to maintain a consistent focus.

The most important was the study of the Peasants of Languedoc by Braudel's star pupil and successor Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie.

A feature of Braudel's work was his compassion for the suffering of marginal people.

Stone was very much interested in studying the mentalité of people in the early modern period along the lines of the Annales School, but Stone rejected Fernand Braudel's geographical theories as too simplistic.

In the 1960s, Robert Mandrou and Georges Duby harmonized the concept of mentalité history with Fernand Braudel's structures of historical time and linked mentalities with changing social conditions.

Braudel's followers admired his use of the longue durée approach to stress slow, and often imperceptible effects of space, climate and technology on the actions of human beings in the past.

Braudel's broad view used insights from other social sciences, employed the concept of the longue durée, and downplayed the importance of specific events.

Moreover, Braudel's method consisted in analysing the interdependence between individuals and their environment.

He worked with Lucien Febvre, who would later read the early versions of Braudel's magnum opus and provide him with editorial advice.

Braudel's vast, panoramic view used insights from other social sciences, employed the concept of the longue durée, and downplayed the importance of specific events.

In Braudel's view, under capitalism the state has served as a guarantor of monopolists rather than as the protector of competition usually portrayed.

Braudel's structures, both mental and environmental, determine the long-term course of events by constraining actions on, and by, humans over a duration long enough that they are beyond the consciousness of the actors involved.

Unlike fine arts, which had been discussed in purely formal terms, comparable to the literary New Criticism, under the influences of Bernard Berenson and Ernst Gombrich, nuanced discussion of the arts of design since the 1970s have been set within social and intellectual contexts, taking account of fluctuations in luxury trades, the availability of design prototypes to local craftsmen, the cultural horizons of the patron, and economic considerations —" the limits of the possible " in economic historian Fernand Braudel's famous phrase.

The long nineteenth century, defined by Eric Hobsbawm ( after Fernand Braudel's " long 16th century " idea ), a British Marxist historian and author, refers to the period between the years 1789 and 1914.

These narratives of coarse action and crude language appeared first in local newspapers, as a rule, and later found their way between book covers, though rarely into the planters' libraries beside the morocco-bound volumes of Horace, Mr. Addison, Mr. Pope, and Sir Walter Scott.

After he had finished the first two volumes of his Lincoln, Sandburg went to work assembling a book of songs out of hobo and childhood days and from the memory of songs others had taught him.

Perhaps Mrs. Meynell would do me the undeserved kindness to keep my own copy of the first edition of my first book, with all its mementos of her and the dear ones.

Both Alfred Harcourt and Donald Brace had written him enthusiastic praise of Elmer Gantry ( any changes could be made in proof, which was already coming from the printer ) and they had ordered 140,000 copies -- the largest first printing of any book in history.

My last gift to him is complete silence until the book is out and the first heated discussion dies down.

The work as it stands is not the entire book that Malraux wrote at that time -- it is only the first section of a three-part novel called La Lutte avec l'Ange ; ;

His first book, Before The Brave ( 1936 ), is a collection of poems that are almost all Communistic, but after publication of this book he rejected Communism, and advocated a pacifistic anarchy, though retaining his revolutionary idiom.

The purpose set forth at the beginning of this book was first to introduce the reader to a general background knowledge of the various types and capabilities of the forecasting methods already in use, so that he might then be in a position to evaluate for himself the validity of the rather astonishing empirical correlation that is to follow, and to appraise the forecast that its interpretation suggests for the future of farm prices over the years immediately ahead.

In one now-historic first interview, for example, the transcript ( reproduced from the book, The First Five Minutes ) goes like this: The therapist's level tone is bland and neutral -- he has, for example, avoided stressing `` you '', which would imply disapproval ; ;

About all that remains to be said is that the present selection, most of which appeared first in The New Yorker, comprises ( as usual ) a slightly unstrung necklace, held together by little more than a slender thread cunningly inserted in the spine of the book.

This reviewer read the book when it was first brought out in England with a sense of discovery and excitement.

His first book, Manhood of Humanity, was published in 1921.

S. audiences would never go for the final chapter, in which Alex sees the error of his ways, decides he has lost all energy for and thrill from violence and resolves to turn his life around ( a slow-ripening but classic moment of metanoia — the moment at which one's protagonist realises that everything he thought he knew was wrong ).

Some consider this more of a short story collection ; Milne didn't like it and considered The Day's Play as his first book.

In his spare time, Grand polishes up his Latin, and he is also writing a book, but he is such a perfectionist that he continually rewrites the first sentence and can get no further.

Unlike the models mentioned above, Christie's Poirot was clearly the result of her early development of the detective in her first book, written in 1916 but not published until 1920.

The Poirot books take readers through the whole of his life in England, from the first book ( The Mysterious Affair at Styles ), where he is a refugee staying at Styles, to the last Poirot book ( Curtain ), where he visits Styles once again before his death.

The character of Jane Marple in the first Miss Marple book, The Murder at the Vicarage, is markedly different from how she appears in later books.

This book, which established his reputation, was first translated into English by William Montgomery and published in 1910 as The Quest of the Historical Jesus.

The original 256-page game book was published in 1991 by Phage Press, covering material from the first five novels ( the " Corwin Cycle ") and some details-sorcery and the Logrus-from the remaining five novels ( the " Merlin Cycle "), in order to allow players to roleplay characters from the Courts of Chaos.

The first book assumes that gamemasters will set their campaigns after the Patternfall war ; that is, after the end of the fifth book in the series, The Courts of Chaos, but uses material from the following books to describe those parts of Zelazny's cosmology that were featured there in more detail.
