A panoramic history of the arrival of the Stuarts, and how the reign of King James I saw England reach new corners of the globe'A majestic, brilliant account of the birth of an empire. Spectacularly good' PETER FRANKOPAN'With its gripping storytelling combined with historical rigour, The Sun Rising is just the right kind of zesty treatment a neglected period needs. Fresh and fabulous' LUCY WORSLEYIn 1603 England was on the edge of crisis. Queen Elizabeth I had died, bringing the Tudor line to an end.

Enter King James, who reached London after an unprecedented procession from Scotland. James established a new dynasty on the English throne and the first ‘united’ kingdom of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales was born. The Stuarts had arrived.

But first, this new ‘Great Britain’ had to play catch up. England was behind, but James’s global ambitions began to shift the tide. As ships departed London for America, Russia, Persia, India and Japan, as the fledgling East India Company began to intertwine ever closer with the crown and as the English began to travel beyond the bounds of their island in greater numbers than ever before, the seeds of the future British Empire were sown.

Long overshadowed by the glory of Elizabeth I and the fatal nadir of Charles I, the reign of the first King of Great Britain is at last told in a new light. Taking in everything from the historic voyage of the Mayflower to the alliance between James and the Persian shah over a joint love of silk, The Sun Rising revolutionises our understanding of the early seventeenth century and the figures that forged a global Britain.

Great Price, Fit, Quality
Color: Black
Love these Open-Ear headphones. My previous earbuds were hurting my eardrums due to fitting inside my ear canals. These are more comfortable sitting outside of my eardrums. Great sound and fit for an affordable price. I use mine for exercising, walking, biking and they stay in place. Very pleased.

Good starter
Style: KIT
The chemicals are 5 stars, because the Chemical Guys make great and effective products. And they always smell good, but the taste doesn’t match the smell. I wish it came with other chemicals in the kit. But honestly go buy them one by one and get what you need.

Good quality car care kit
Style: KIT
This product was specifically asked for by my adult son. Upon opening, it had leaked (it was a gift so I did not open) but he went ahead and used it. Good quality, car care product.
