Электронная книга: Charles Ambler «A Companion to African History»
|
Covers the history of the entire African continent, from prehistory to the present day A Companion to African History embraces the diverse regions, subject matter, and disciplines of the African continent, while also providing chronological and geographical coverage of basic historical developments. Two dozen essays by leading international scholars explore the challenges facing this relatively new field of historical enquiry and present the dynamic ways in which historians and scholars from other fields such as archaeology, anthropology, political science, and economics are forging new directions in thinking and research. Comprised of six parts, the book begins with thematic approaches to African history—exploring the environment, gender and family, medical practices, and more. Section two covers Africa’s early history and its pre-colonial past—early human adaptation, the emergence of kingdoms, royal power, and warring states. The third section looks at the era of the slave trade and Europeanexpansion. Part four examines the process of conquest—the discovery of diamonds and gold, military and social response, and more. Colonialism is discussed in the sixth section, with chapters on the economy transformed due to the development of agriculture and mining industries. The last section studies the continent from post World War II all the way up to modern times. Aims at capturing the enthusiasms of practicing historians, and encouraging similar passion in a new generation of scholars Emphasizes linkages within Africa as well as between the continent and other parts of the world Allchapters include significant historiographical content and suggestions for further reading Written by a global team of writers with unique backgrounds and views Features case studies with illustrative examples In a field traditionally marked by narrow specialisms, A Companion to African History is an ideal book for advanced students, researchers, historians, and scholars looking for a broad yet unique overview of African history as a whole.

Charles James Ambler (1868–1952) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Born in Alverstoke, Hampshire, Ambler began his career at Bostall Rovers before signing with Royal Arsenal (soon after renamed Woolwich Arsenal) in 1891. As an amateur he was able to play for a variety of clubs with no fixed tenure at any of them; in the period 1891–94, as well as playing in friendlies for Arsenal, he also played for Clapton, Dartford and Luton Town while nominally being registered an Arsenal player.
In the summer of 1894 he was formally transferred to Tottenham Hotspur, but returned to Woolwich Arsenal in November 1895. There, he played in goal in a Second Division match against Newton Heath on 30 November 1895, a match Arsenal lost 5-1. With no other league appearances to his name, he left Arsenal in the summer of 1896 and returned to Tottenham Hotspur.
Ambler was registered with Spurs from 1896 until 1900; in total, in both his spells at Tottenham, he made 133 first team appearances. He had spells at Gravesend and New Brompton before, in 1901, he joined east London club West Ham United. Used as a reserve, he played just two first team games for the club in November 1901. The first came as a result of a clash of fixtures, with the Irons due to play a Southern League game against Spurs on the same day as hosting Leyton in the FA Cup. The club chose to field its regulars for the league game and play away for the cup; the first team lost 1-0 while the second side, with Ambler in goal, won by the same scoreline. Thus, Ambler got his chance in the following Southern League game, against Queens Park Rangers, but with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat, this was to be his only appearance in the league.
He went on to play for Millwall after leaving the Irons in 1902. He died in 1952, aged 83
