		Commenting on the launch, Bamber Gascoigne, founder of HistoryWorld, said: "History helps make sense of where we are today and although my site aims to make sense of all branches of history, medicine is central to understanding ourselves.
		The Wellcome Trust supported Bamber Gascoigne's HistoryWorld project by recruiting a medical historian, Dr Carole Reeves, who spent a year researching and writing a comprehensive account of medical history in association with the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine.

		BAMBER Gascoigne, the distinguished author and broadcaster, who has lived in Richmond for many years, has been announced as the new president of Richmond upon Thames Arts Council.

		There were of course many more, but Gascoigne's focus, and his greatest strength here, is building up on what the `lay reader' is most likely to be familiar with going into the text.
		Gascoigne excels at this and keeps the information as clear and familiar as possible.
		Comment: The Dynasties Of China: A History By British author Bamber Gascoigne is an informed and informative history of the eight major dynasties of ancient China that span 3,500 years of Chinese civilization.

	Bamber Gascoigne - UKGameshows
		The friendly face of academia, Bamber Gascoigne is best known as the original host of University Challenge.
		In 1979, Bamber was the witness to the burial of the "golden hare" jewel that was the prize in Kit Williams' national treasure hunt, Masquerade.
		As a result Bamber was for a couple of years inundated with pleas for help (politely rejected), bribes (returned) and at least one stranger turning up on his doorstep claiming to be a long lost relative in an attempt to wheedle the hare's whereabouts from him.

		Bamber Gascoigne, the gentlemanly former host of University Challenge and a respected historian, has described The Weakest Link as setting a “repulsive” trend.
		Gascoigne, meanwhile, will have to content himself with what he describes as his “total activity” since ITV dropped University Challenge in 1987 after 25 years: his website where he is compiling a history of the world and a forthcoming book on Chinese dynasties.
		Gascoigne is also due to play himself in a forthcoming episode of the BBC mystery series Jonathan Creek.

		David Elias was one of the principal writers of questions for University Challenge during the final few series of Bamber Gascoigne's reign, contributing around three quarters of the questions for his final series.
		So, I put together a batch of questions that I thought would be appropriate for Bamber Gascoigne to ask, to show that I understood the standard and range of material needed, and passed them on to the producer, Peter Mullings.
		Despite being almost as thin as a matchstick, Bamber was a voracious eater at these banquets, replacing the energy expended during recordings.

		The book moves gracefully through the early centuries, and Gascoigne captures interesting human interest facets of the history, which make the antics of many Christians understandable, if not forgivable.

		Many Westerners who consider themselves to be well educated would be hard put to it to name the main dynasties of China or even the approximate dates of the most important events in Chinese history.
		Gascoigne thinks that the excesses of the Red Guards in the Cultural Revolution find echoes in events of the eleventh century and even earlier, in a Tang dynasty poem which he quotes.
		Gascoigne's book makes a relatively painless introduction to this fascinating topic, and the excellent photographs by his wife Christina add considerably to its value.

		Dominating the subcontinent throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, the Mongol descendants of Genghiz Khan and Tamburlaine improbably oversaw its greatest artistic flowering, with Shah Jahan building the Taj Mahal and the conquerors' flexible version of Islam underpinning the emergence of Persian-influenced Moghul painting.
		Covering six reigns from Babur to Aurangzeb, Gascoigne is hard pressed to inject interest into the countless fratricidal succession struggles and Oedipal rebellions he dutifully chronicles; far more engaging are his accounts of life at court, religious disputes, harem etiquette and the emperors' hobbies and intellectual pusuits.
		Focusing on how the official version of Harrison's career marginalises Eugenie Sellers, an intimate friend with whom she later rowed, Beard shows how archives, photos, letters and memoirs all pose difficulties that biographers ignore in their pursuit of cohesion and certainty.

		Gascoigne links these developments to the wider scientific, cultural, and social currents during the period.
