Few other subjects are of greater importance to todayas world. How the British Empire was created and maintained, and the impact it had on both the colonised and the colonisers, have been the source of long-running and heated debates amongst historians, politicians and in the media. For several decades it has been analysed from numerous different perspectives, providing a wide range of differing interpretations. Over recent years, new studies have extended the scope of imperial history into previously ignored fields that have significantly added to our understanding. Imperial history can, therefore, no longer be regarded as the exclusive realm of the political historian, or the reserve of an essentially British approach. - - The British Empire was complex. Each of the far-flung components that made it up had its own particularities. At various times and in various places it took on different forms and had different meanings. It affected people across the globe in a multitude of ways. This inevitably produces a multi-facetted picture. The large number of actors, in Britain and in the colonised world, who played a part in its history adds to this impression. As a consequence, it is difficult to come up with one, all-encompassing, history of the British Empire. - - All these aspects of the British Empire are apparent in the story of how it ended. What precisely decolonisation was, how it came about, and what it meant for the British and for those who gained their independence, varied considerably from one part of the Empire to another, and from one period to another. How these changes came about, how independence was won across the colonial world, and how it was resisted, are dealt with here across a selection of different case studies. Understanding how the British Empire collapsed tells us a great deal about what this Empire was and about its legacy in todayas world. - 606 $aDecolonization 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xAdministration$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aCommonwealth countries$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDecolonization. 676 $a167 702 $aDavis$b Richard 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453112603321 996 $aBritish decolonisation, 1918-1984$92205651 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01252nam 2200409 450 001 9910677762203321 005 20230209095521.0 010 $a1-119-56478-6 010 $a1-119-56479-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7087566 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7087566 035 $a(CKB)24831707000041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924831707000041 100 $a20230209d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aGPCRs as therapeutic targets /$fAnnette Gilchrist 210 1$aHoboken, New Jersey :$cJohn Wiley & Sons, Inc.,$d[2022] 210 4$dİ2022 215 $a1 online resource (1049 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Gilchrist, Annette GPCRs As Therapeutic Targets Newark : John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,c2022 9781119564744 606 $aDrug delivery systems 606 $aG proteins$xReceptors 615 0$aDrug delivery systems. 615 0$aG proteins$xReceptors. 676 $a615.6 700 $aGilchrist$b Annette$0930108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910677762203321 996 $aGPCRs as therapeutic targets$93065335 997 $aUNINA
