This book provides a general survey of the life and work of the Spanish philosopher and essayist Ortega y Gasset (1183-1955), author of the widely read The Revolt of the Masses. Dr Dobson divides his study into sections devoted to Ortega's political thinking and to his philosophy, rooting these in the context of contemporary Spain and discussing the wider implications of their influence. He examines Ortega's position with regard to the Civil War, his ambivalent espousal of socialism, his emphasis on the importance of the select individual in the modernisation of society and creation of a nacio vital; the appropriation of his ideas by Primo de Rivera in the cause of fascism. This book is intended to be accessible to both Hispanists and general readers with an interest in literature, history, intellectual and political thought and philosophy.

1 国内第一本完全以海洋为主题，讲述近代世界历史的著作。
2 亚洲视角，颠覆西方中心主义。书中特别强调欧洲航海建立了强权秩序，带来了殖民和伤害。而中国和亚洲，非洲目前的“一带一路”设想就是要恢复印亚的和平往来，矫正500年以来的霸权秩序。
3 除了讲述霸权历史，作者生动地介绍了文化、人种、物产的交流细节，大量图片和故事，使本书可读性很高。
各个文明的扩张和贸易，崛起与衰落，都和对海洋的控制直接相关。可以说，谁主宰了海洋，谁就主宰了世界秩序。
《深蓝帝国》讲述的正是中国、阿拉伯、葡萄牙、西班牙、荷兰、英国如何进行远洋航行、并扩张势力的故事。但作者强调在欧洲海航扩张伴随着极端的暴力和征服，给其他文明带来了深重的灾难。征服海洋不但能够对其他文明取得控制权，同时也客观上促进了人种、物产和文化的空前交流。这是世界历史中极为丰富和引人入胜的细节。
海上霸权时代的遗产，不论好的坏的，我们都必须在深刻的反思中承载。

The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw many ambitious European rulers develop permanent armies and navies. War and the State in Early Modern Europe examines this military change as a central part of the political, social and economic transformation of early modern Europe. This important study exposes the economic structures necessary for supporting permanent military organisations across Europe. Large armed forces could not develop successfully without various interest groups who needed protection and were willing to pay for it. Arguing that early fiscal-military states were in fact protection-selling enterprises, the author focuses on: Spain, the Dutch Republic and Sweden the role of local elites the political and organisational aspects of this new military development War and the State in Early Modern Europe offers an impressive insight into the conditions surrounding the growth of military organisations in Europe, and will appeal to European and Military historians alike.

The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in 1972 marked the birth of the 'new military history', which emphasized military organization - mobilization, pay, supply, morale and, above all, logistics - rather than military 'events' such as sieges and battles. Geoffrey Parker studied one of the great logistical feats of early modern Europe: how Habsburg Spain managed to maintain and mobilize the largest army in Europe in an 80-year effort to suppress the Dutch Revolt, at 700 miles' distance. Using a unique combination of surviving records, he presented strikingly the logistical problems of fighting wars in early modern Europe, and demonstrated why Spain failed to suppress the Dutch Revolt. The book has been constantly cited since its first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and Dutch). This revised second edition includes some new sources and updates some references but otherwise remains faithful to the original version.
