British Exploitation of German Science and Technology, 1943-1949
At the end of the Second World War, Germany lay at the mercy of its occupiers, all of whom launched programmes of scientific and technological exploitation.Each occupying nation sought to bolster their own armouries and industries with the spoils of war, and Britain was no exception.Shrouded in secrecy yet directed at the top levels of government and driven by ingenuity from across the civil service and armed forces, Britain made exploitation a key priority.By examining factories and laboratories, confiscating prototypes and blueprints, and interrogating and even recruiting German experts, Britain sought to utilise the innovations of the last war to prepare for the next.This ground-breaking book tells the full story of British exploitation for the first time, sheds new light on the legacies of the Second World War, and contributes to histories of intelligence, science, warfare and power in the midst of the twentieth century.

Why did the British leave British India in 1947?
The British left British India in 1947 primarily due to mounting pressure from the Indian independence movement led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. The cost of maintaining control over India after World War II, coupled with the changing global political landscape, made it increasingly difficult for Britain to hold onto its colonies. Additionally, the violence and unrest that erupted during the partition of India into two separate nations, India and Pakistan, further expedited the British decision to leave.

British Literature and Technology, 1600-1830
Enlightenment-era writers had not yet come to take technology for granted, but nonetheless were—as we are today—both attracted to and repelled by its potential.This volume registers the deep history of such ambivalence, examining technology’s influence on Enlightenment British literature, as well as the impact of literature on conceptions of, attitudes toward, and implementations of technology.Offering a counterbalance to the abundance of studies on literature and science in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain, this volume’s focus encompasses approaches to literary history that help us understand technologies like the steam engine and the telegraph along with representations of technology in literature such as the “political machine.” Contributors ultimately show how literature across genres provided important sites for Enlightenment readers to recognize themselves as “chimeras”—“hybrids of machine and organism”—and to explore the modern self as “a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction.”
