The Habsburgs are the most famous dynasty in continental Europe. From the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries, they ruled much of Central Europe, and for two centuries were also rulers of Spain. Through the Spanish connection, they acquired lands around the Mediterranean and a chunk of the New World, spreading eastwards to include the Philippines. Reaching from South-East Asia to what is now Ukraine, the Habsburg Empire was truly global. In this Very Short Introduction Martin Rady looks at the history of the Habsburgs, from their tenth-century origins in Switzerland, to the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire in 1918. He introduces the pantheon of Habsburg rulers, which included adventurers, lunatics, and at least one monarch who was so malformed that his true portrait could never be exhibited. He also discusses the lands and kingdoms that made up the Habsburg Empire, and the decisive moments that shaped their history. Dynasty, Europe, global power, and the idea of the multi-national state all converge on the history of the Habsburg Empire. Martin Rady shows how.

CHRISTMAS
Format: Hardcover
EXCELLENT BOOK, I listened to Rick Renner on a program several months back and try to catch him everytime he is being interviewed. His other book about Noah and the flood, it too is so enlightening and opens these stories up to historical accuracy.

Very nicely done
Format: Paperback
This is a well written, very thorough and easy to read volume which I am glad to have read. I bought the updated 2024 edition. Although the style is easy to read, there is a large amount of practical information, very useful down the road. The authors cover legal issues well, and compared to other books Ive read on executor duties, this one takes the prize. i will look for other work by Mary Randolph, or at least NOLO in the future.

Good book to read if you are appointed someone's executor
Basic information that covers many different situations an executor might face. Good book to read as you start acting as executor but you will need to consult other resources for in-depth discussion of more complicated situations.
