Bermuda Bound: From London to Paradise by P. M. Lane (39 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Forget a year in Provence, try living on a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for four years. Bermuda Bound is a personal account of living and working on the beautiful island of Bermuda. The book relates encounters with modern day pirates, sea monsters, raging Atlantic storms, colourful local characters and suicidal tourists, against a remote background of incredible beauty in the western Atlantic. Gone are grey skies, wintry nights and miserable people to be replaced by blue skies, exquisite colonial architecture, colourful characters and tall swaying palm trees. Bermuda with its four hundred year history of pirates, smugglers, rum runners and ship wrecks is England's oldest colonial outpost, a sub-tropical haven where the modern world comes face to face with old ways and customs to form a unique blend of history, tradition and development, which is the very essence of Bermuda. Bermuda's beautiful beaches, exquisite lagoons and stunning scenery are all depicted together with colourful local characters, like the man who spends each morning smiling and waving at commuters in order to brighten the days of the vibrant Bermudian people. Read of scuba diving expeditions on pristine reefs and explorations of old shipwrecks lost in violent storms, of sport fishing trips to capture giant silver sea monsters, of colonial architecture and ornate pastel painted buildings hundreds of years old and of a modern paradise isolated in the Atlantic Ocean by hundreds of miles of shifting sea. Disappear into the Bermuda Triangle with Bermuda Bound. Download your copy Now!!! Note - Bermuda is not in the Caribbean nor is it a single island but an archipelago of over one hundred and eighty islands, most connected by bridges and causeways to form one landmass. As the locals say, "Bermuda is twenty-six miles long and a smile wide!"

Stryker: The Siege of Sadr City by Konrad R.K. Ludwig (Roland-Kjos Publishing) (852 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

In the spring of 2008, Coalition troops responded in-force to what quickly became one of the largest, bloodiest and most influential battles of the Iraq War. For nearly three months, American and Iraqi forces fought a vicious battle over the most densely populated district of Baghdad, against a ruthless and well-organized insurgent militia known as the Jaish al-Mahdi. Sgt. Ludwig's gripping narrative offers an unfiltered view of the Final Battle of Sadr City through the unforgiving sights of his machine gun. Eager to test his mettle and make a difference in the world, he enlists with the United States Army as an infantryman and gets assigned to a tight-knit unit of hardened veterans known as "Bull Company." Having already fought in the battles of Fallujah and Mosul, Bull Company embarks on a 15-month combat deployment to the front lines of Sadr City -- which culminates in a brutal mission to push deep behind enemy lines, capture a well-guarded militia stronghold, and hold their ground "for as long as it takes."

Exploring the West: The History and Legacy of the Explorers Who Led the Way for America’s Westward Expansion by Charles River Editors (7 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The Louisiana Purchase encompassed all or part of 15 current U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, including Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeastern New Mexico, Northern Texas, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans (parts of this area were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.) In addition, the Louisiana Purchase contained small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The purchase, which doubled the size of the young nation, comprises around 23% of current American territory. The purchase allowed Jefferson to plan something he had talked about since taking office: an expedition deep into the unmapped and largely unknown continent with the final destination being the Pacific Ocean. This could prove the most significant of the goals that Jefferson - a person who thought of himself as a scientifically-minded thinker - wanted to accomplish as president. Though he knew he had bought a huge amount of land, Jefferson wasn't entirely sure of what he had bought, so he asked a team led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to traverse the continent until they reached the Pacific, studying everything from the ecology to geography along the way to get an understanding of the country's new region. Lewis and Clark would find far more than they anticipated. The 33 men who made the trip came into contact with about two dozen Native American tribes, many of whom helped the men survive the journey, and along the way they met and were assisted by the famous Sacagawea, who would become one of the expedition's most famous participants. Though they suffered deaths on their way west, the group ultimately reached the Pacific coast and got back to St. ...

The Experience of Alien Royal Servants in Thirteenth-Century England by Michael Ray (3 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

At the beginning of the thirteenth century, King John lost his Norman and Angevin lands to the King of France. The Anglo-Norman nobility had to choose which King to support and accept the loss of their lands under the rule of the King they had disowned. However, John continued to rely on his trusted Normans as soldiers and officials, many of whom were instrumental in preventing the son of the King of France from seizing the throne, first from John, and after his death in 1216 from his son Henry III. Despite their service to the crown, many of these aliens were disenfranchised during Henry's minority as the English baronage and clergy whipped up hostility against them. Henry later encouraged the arrival of two further groups of aliens into England, the Savoyards and Poitevins, who were relatives of his mother and wife. He lavished patronage on them as a way to consolidate his power both at home and abroad. In 1263 Simon de Montfort revived hostility against aliens in his war against the King. This whole period marks a pronounced awareness of the Englishness of those born in England. Henry's successors continued to employ and foster the careers of aliens but the Montfortian wars taught them to tread carefully. The chapters in this book cover the reigns of John, Henry III and the first three Edwards. They show how some families accumulated considerable rewards. Some weathered prejudice and became fully assimilated. Some did not and never established firm roots in England. What stands out is that all of the aliens studied repaid the Kings with loyalty and efficiency.

ROOSEVELT AND CHURCHILL men of secrets (David Stafford World War II History) by David Stafford (Lume Books WW2 Non-Fiction History, A Joffe Books Company) (84 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

A THOROUGH EXAMINATION OF THE VITAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT STATESMEN DURING WORLD WAR TWO. 'However much they valued their special relationship, neither man allowed it to trump national goals. David Stafford's fascinating book is a useful reminder of how complicated the Grand Alliance actually was.' New York Times 'An intriguing book which makes a very good read.' Irish Independent 'A swift, well-documented assessment of the relationship's "volatile mix of friendship, rivalry and resentment".' Kirkus Reviews 'Much of this book upsets accepted views... Stafford has the precious gift of making technical subjects easy to follow; he writes clearly, and maintains a strong narrative flow. This is most readable history.' The Sunday Times Roosevelt and Churchill were titans of the twentieth century with a unique relationship. It was based on interlinked national histories, partially shared nationality (Churchill was half-American), love for the navy and a common belief in the superiority of Anglo-Saxon institutions. Above all, it was cemented by shared enemies: Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. On these foundations, Churchill and Roosevelt constructed a fighting alliance unlike any other in history. A Combined Chiefs of Staff, Anglo-American war-making boards, and an atomic alliance helped to deliver victory in 1945. The two men also developed an extraordinary personal relationship, communicating almost daily. Their camaraderie ended abruptly with Roosevelt's death on 12 April 1945, just hours before American and British troops liberated Buchenwald and Belsen. At the heart of this special relationship, hidden by layers of secrecy, was a far-reaching sharing of intelligence which would endure well beyond their own premierships. In this fascinating account, David Stafford draws on declassified information and his own specialist understanding of intelligence to illuminate the relationship between two men who, as leaders and allies, were ...

The Staircase of Life: The Story of the Origin and Evolution of Life and Humankind by Gerard Alexander Willighagen (9 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Even though we are all different in our own ways, we all have an underlying thread in common: our evolution, our history. However, only roughly 0.0001% of the Earth's whole history has been occupied by human beings with behaviorally contemporary traits. We are, in fact, right at the start of everything. Yet, in order to survive even for such a short period of time, a seemingly unending line of fortunate events was necessary. But what were these fortunate events? How did Homo sapiens get here after many billion years and virtually infinite evolutionary crossroads? How did humankind ultimately conquer the world? And how did life emerge in the first place? In this epic and compelling story, Gerard Alexander Willighagen strives to answer these and many more intriguing questions by taking you through space and time to explore the origins of life, the evolution and rise of Homo sapiens, the dawn and development of civilization, and the emergence and formation of the modern world we know today. In the process of meandering through this multi-billion-year story, we'll come to appreciate the incredible good fortune that all living organisms, including our own highly evolved yet essentially Stone Age-wired species, have of just simply existing. So, let's take a huge step back in time -- right at the initial steps of life -- to ponder how exceptional our story truly is. However, as a short sneak peek in advance: our story is indeed exceptional, notable, and utterly captivating.

The History of Eternity by James E. Winder (7 Reviews)    Price verified 14 hours ago

You cannot help but wonder what and why you are. The History of Eternity is a book that again and again answers these questions, as it celebrates the tragic joy of wonder at the enigma of your existence. There will always be a clamoring after elusive fact. There will always be a hankering for some durable theory that will explain the fact. There will always be an inability to match the one wholly with the other. Because something is always left out, there will always persist a stubbornly invisible and intractable remainder. And this remainder, this dark matter behind every thought, behind every desire, behind every joy, behind every sorrow, will continue to populate your universe with wonder. Read this book, if you will, and share that wonder. You are born into a conspiracy of significance, already entangled with your equally lonely others. The history of eternity, the tension between nowhere and now here, defines the struggle between the life you are living now and whatever there may be of the life to come. The History of Eternity is a series of broken elegies to those who have mattered, to their moments and your moments, to their sanity and your sanity, to their madness and your madness. The History of Eternity is one man's meditation on the reverberating shock of his encounter with Henry Adams, Aristotle, Augustine, Bach, Balzac, Beckett, Bergson, Bloch, Boehme, Bonhoeffer, Cervantes, Chekhov, Cicero, Claudel, Dante, Darwin, Derrida, Emily Dickinson, Dostoevsky, Eckhart, Emerson, Ezekiel, Faulkner, Gide, Goethe, Heraclitus, Herodotus, Hume, Isaiah, Henry James, Jeremiah, Samuel Johnson, Kafka, Kierkegaard, D.H.
