Texas Boys and Oklahoma Folks: And Other Short Stories by Charlie Hull (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Memories of the days of growing up in Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas in the 1950's in a time very different from today, Charlie recalls the events that shaped his life. These memories include such things as wandering around in drain pipes, with his brothers and cousins, visiting the scary house Grandpa lived in, working in Aunt and Uncle's corner grocery store, among a host of others. It was a simple time of innocence in America, a time in which education was the aim in school, and the love of God and country was not considered a hate crime. Men and women, boys and girls went to church unafraid of repercussion. It was a time of shaping boys and girls into real men and real women. If you are becoming weary of the chaos of today, come and enjoy this breath of fresh air.

Toughest School in North America by Richard de Candole (12 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

As a 13-year-old, Richard de Candole paddled an astounding 900 miles from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Winnipeg. It was one of five major canoe trips he took as a student at St. John's Cathedral Boys' School, an unusual boarding school located in Selkirk, Manitoba, just north of Winnipeg. The trips were an annual rite of passage. As were the long treks by snowshoe each winter. The Toughest School in North America is a uniquely Canadian story that brings to life the hardships, dangers, and raw beauty Richard experienced as a student from 1962 to 1968. And it vividly captures the work camp atmosphere of the place where he learned the hard lessons of life. Richard and his classmates survive the day-to-day grind with Canadian grit, humour, and occasional teenage mischief.

Tacitus's 'The Origin and Situation of the Germans' is a detailed examination of the culture, customs, and geography of the Germanic tribes. Written in a precise and objective style, the book provides valuable insights into the origins and unique characteristics of the Germanic people. Tacitus's work is considered a pioneering piece in the field of ethnography, as he not only describes the Germans' physical appearance and lifestyle but also delves into their religious beliefs and social structure. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Germanic history and the interactions between different cultures in the Roman Empire. Tacitus's meticulous research and engaging narrative style make this book a classic in the genre of historical literature. Tacitus, a Roman historian and politician, was known for his sharp observations and critical analysis of Roman society. His firsthand experience in politics and military campaigns provided him with the knowledge and perspective to write about the diverse peoples of the Roman Empire. Tacitus's interest in documenting the traditions and customs of the Germanic tribes led him to write 'The Origin and Situation of the Germans' as a way to educate his Roman readers about the complexities of the barbarian world. I highly recommend 'The Origin and Situation of the Germans' to readers who are fascinated by ancient history and cultural studies. Tacitus's comprehensive study offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the Germanic tribes and sheds light on the dynamics of power and identity in the ancient world.

Tripping Over Engineering: Going Nuclear: Exploring the Birth of the Atomic Age by Lindsey Bredemeyer (36 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

How would you like to actually see the dark secrets of the US nuclear weapons program. Stand on the site of the first nuclear reactor (CP-1). Stand in the control room of the first continuous operating reactor (X-10). Stand at the loading face of the first production reactor (Hanford B) that produced plutonium for the first atomic detonation and many of the 60,000 US nuclear weapons produced. Walk through USS Nautilus, the first nuclear submarine, which changed the entire concept of warfare at sea. The story of US nuclear weapons often focuses on the physicists delving into new aspects of their science. But how much engineering effort and expense was spent on producing the isotopes, building the weapons and putting them on target. Nuclear medicine, the space program, the rapid development of jet aircraft, the human genome project are all progeny of the nuclear age. All had some relationship with the desire to produce and deliver nuclear weapons. Besides technical progress, the nuclear age also redefined the world socially and culturally. This engineering deserves more than a footnote in history. It deserves to be seen. Until you can go, get on the bus with me, I saved you a seat.

Nazis & Reds: A Chronology of the Prewar Years (The Protocols Book 1) by Robert Sterling Herron Price verified 6 hours ago

Nazis & Reds: A Chronology of the Prewar Years is the first book in a historical series, The Protocols. The first book traces the rise of authoritarianism in the modern world, from the Industrial Revolution to the beginning of World War II. The series places a focused spotlight on the concurrent decline of traditional forms of government and institutions, such as monarchies and the Church, with the rise of alternative ideologies, like communism, fascism, environmentalism, and democracy -- the decline and rise driven by the exigencies of the new age: by new forms of energy, including both fuel and motive power, like coal and steam; by the advent of new machines that increased or replaced the productivity of a single woman or man, like the spinning jenny; by new basic materials, chiefly iron and steel; by new means of transportation and communication, like railroads, radio, automobiles, and the telephone; and by a new organization of work, the factory system, and the resultant division of labor and specializing of function in the work place. The Industrial Age also gave birth to mass production, extended life spans, urbanization, multiculturalism, increased immigration, a vast and disproportionate distribution of wealth; and demands for better pay and treatment by workers, for a fairer distribution wealth, services, and goods; and the decline in relevancy of traditional customs, gender roles, values and faith. The result has often been confusion, marginalization, anger, and despair -- and the rise of individuals offering a way to get back -- to a better, simpler life -- often a pre-Industrial Revolution world where everyone knew their place. Like all the books in the series, Nazis & Reds is composed of excerpts taken from a diverse range of sources, including memoirs, combat situation reports, speeches, diaries, radio broadcasts, news articles, and other historical documents selected not only for their ability to illustrate the past, but for their relevance in terms ...
