A Brief History of Watnall (Brief Histories, North Nottingham Book 2) by J M Lee (Amazon) (7 Reviews)    Price verified 4 minutes ago

Watnall today is a pleasant, leafy dormitory area for a number of nearby conurbations, including the City of Nottingham itself. It blends into similar residential areas which stretch away seamlessly towards Kimberley, Nuthall and beyond. It is a desirable place to live, with a great pressure for modem housing. Had you been here two centuries ago, however, you would have been in the midst of a small and remote hamlet, surrounded on all sides by the fields and activities of a completely agricultural way of life. The history of Watnall goes back at least to Saxon times. After the Norman invasion of 1066, the village came under the stewardship of William Peverel and first enters the official records as an entry in the Domesday survey of 1087. As medieval times progressed, Watnall evolved in a very complex manner as two distinct parcels of land: the later Watnall Chaworth and Watnall Cantelupe. Some notable people and institutions were Lords at one time or another - Beauvale Priory, the Lords of Ilkeston, the Earls of Essex, the Byngham family and others. Watnall was unusual too, locally, in that it entered modern times sporting a resident aristocratic family, the Rollestons, with a seat to boot, namely Watnall Hall, which unfortunately they could only afford to live in themselves periodically, and also unfortunately now gone. Watnall is also unusual in that other places within the area, notably Kimberley, were moulded and completely transformed by the searing changes of the Industrial Revolution. Watnall was actively involved in the mining industry, but seems to have remained aloof from change and has managed to retain a village-like atmosphere to this day. This booklet covers all these things in some detail, as well as the local rail network - spawned by the needs of the local mines- together with education and religion. It also covers Watnall's important contribution to the war effort with its fighter command centre and associated weather station, which later ...

Saddle the Angry Wind by Larry D. McDonald (77 Reviews)    Price verified 12 minutes ago

A historical tale of life in northern Missouri at the end of America's Civil War, and further onward into the 20th Century. It is the account of two young Missouri boys, Jim and his cousin Johnny, forced by the storm of a civil war into situations and decisions beyond their years. They have both lost their fathers to guerrilla raids, and they have only Jim's Uncle Bert as a father figure to raise and advise them. Living within the backdraft of Bleeding Kansas, the American Civil War, and Missouri's precarious position during this brutal conflict, Jim and Johnny adapt to their new position and lives within this new country, even as Quantrill's disciples continue to terrorize northeastern Missouri.

Death - both violent and natural - was always present and there to be dealt with. But it was also a time of a nation healing, and the hope of life perhaps continuing on...

A Brief History of Kimberley (Brief Histories, North Nottingham Book 1) by J M Lee (15 Reviews)    Price verified 15 minutes ago

Kimberley is a small suburban town on the fringes of Nottingham. It arose, probably, as a Saxon settlement, many years before the Norman Conquest and first saw the light of day in records as an entry in the Domesday survey of 1087. For centuries it remained a remote and obscure agricultural hamlet. As the medieval period progressed, it acquired and lost great landowners, some of them in dramatic circumstances. William Peverel was probably the mightiest, but there were others, including the Duke of Rutland, Lord Melbourne, and the Earls of Essex. By about 1800, the system of large, open fields, cultivated communally in 'strips', had all but disappeared; the turnpike road of 1763 occupied the valley bottom and transport had started to improve. The age of railways was yet to dawn, but the Nottingham Canal had reached the fringes of the area, and mining had taken its first steps towards operations on an industrial scale. Kimberley had arrived at the beginning of a broad industrial awakening which would change its face forever - the Industrial Revolution. Mining, canals, lace, brick making, religion, beer and railways, all made heavy inroads into the landscape, and all left their social footprints on its history. The population mushroomed, poverty and early death were rife, fortunes were made and lost. Kimberley, despite its small size, acquired two competing railways, two competing railway stations, a famously dangerous tramway, a legendary number of beerhouses, many vociferous churches and two large breweries. This is the digital version of a booklet which was considerably updated and revised in 2013. It contains a good deal of recent research and additional material. It also includes material previously not covered, notably a brief consideration of Babbington.

The Reluctant Belligerent: American Entry Into World War II by Robert A. Divine (12 Reviews)    Price verified 22 minutes ago

How did America's passive foreign policy in the 1930s contribute to the onset of the Second World War? Would early, sustained American support have contained the expansive thrust of the Axis? Was the nation's security jeopardized by a disastrous lack of leadership? Could Pearl Harbor have been prevented? These are just some of the thought-provoking questions explored in this detailed examination of American entry into World War II. Drawing on the latest research findings of noted historians, Robert A. Divine focuses on day-by-day diplomacy rather than the military aspects of war. He confronts the reasons why the U.S. was hesitant to apply its rightful role of world leader. He shows how Americans retreated behind the facade of neutrality legislation in an attempt to isolate themselves from the conflict. And he considers how the U.S. may have actually added to the severity of World War II by waiting until the nation was forced into the fighting. Robert A. Divine joined the faculty of the University of Texas in 1954 as a professor of history. He served as Chairman of the Department of History and the Committee on International Studies, and a member of the interim committee that helped with the organisation of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University. In addition, he served as president of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations and authored eleven books. He retired in 1996.

La conquista española de las Américas es una parte fundamental de la historia de la colonización. El descubrimiento hecho por Cristóbal Colón, aunque accidental, de una nueva masa de tierra puso el mundo patas arriba.

Mediante la violencia, el derramamiento de sangre y la conquista, los conquistadores españoles lograron hacerse con el control de las ricas y prósperas tierras de las civilizaciones indígenas americanas, arrasando magníficas entidades políticas y sociales como los imperios azteca e inca. Este libro narra la historia de cómo España consiguió conquistar las Américas en medio siglo, desde finales del 1400 hasta mediados del 1500.

The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban: 11 Tales by Margaret Nagel (Neverwert Press) (70 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

"Margaret Nagel delivers a likable, funny and, above all, believable protagonist in this delightful story brimming with captivating characters... Thankfully, Brother Arcadius is only 20 at the end of the book's final tale which should leave time for many more adventures in what is sure to be a much-anticipated sequel." - BlueInk starred review Not a children's book in spite of its readability and appearance, The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban deals light handedly with the hardships and hazards of the 9th century AD. Serious, dutiful, and naive Brother Arcadius, a young monk, sets out from his native Dublin to take up life at the remote Alpine monastery of Spiritus Sanctus. On the first stage of his long journey, the ocean crossing from Ireland to England, he rouses himself from sea sickness long enough to rescue a stow-away kitten from death at the hands of a wrathful sailor. He gives the kitten the Irish name of Pangur Ban and takes it with him to his destination, which turns out to be not quite your usual monastery - just as Pangur Ban is not quite your usual cat. Eleven interlinked tales recount the adventures of monk and cat over the next four years, and capture the wonderment of a time when, no matter where you lived, much of the rest of the world seemed strange and far away. Readers may know, or may like to know, that sometime during the 9th century, a monk living in what is now Switzerland wrote a poem comparing his own love of scholarship to his cat's love of catching mice. He wrote the poem in Old Irish on a leaf of a manuscript that was otherwise in Latin and Greek. He gave the cat's name as "Pangur Ban," but remained anonymous himself. It is an engaging poem. In modern times, in various translations, it has appeared in many anthologies, and has been an inspiration for much commentary, an animated film, and several books, including The Adventures of Brother Arcadius and Pangur Ban.

Oddballs by William Sleator (Open Road Media Teen & Tween) (48 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The Sleators are not your average family... When author William "Billy" Sleator was growing up, life was a never-ending adventure. The best presents his parents ever gave him and his sister, Vicky, were 2 younger brothers, Danny and Tycho. The 4 siblings delighted in playing pranks on one another and on their unsuspecting friends and neighbors. The children's mother and father also liked to joke around. Their mom, who was a pediatrician, came up with a witty name for the kids' drama club: the Parkview Traumatic Club. Their dad, who was a physiologist, would sometimes blindfold Billy, along with his sister and brothers, and take them for a ride -- dropping them off in an unfamiliar place and telling them to find their way back with only a single dime to make a phone call. Whether he's regaling us with tall tales about hypnotism and séances, riffing on his family's deepest secrets, or waxing philosophical about being liked for who you are and not who you hang out with, Sleator offers an illuminating window into his unique and offbeat family, in which life was lived to the fullest.

Let's just hope I do so in time. *** Oliver I didn't ask to be in these shoes. In fact, I was thoroughly looking forward to a life of little more than personal responsibility.

Any semblance of my plans years ago have fallen by the wayside, but that's just the nature of the beast - and I am the beast. Times are changing. I can feel it in my bones. I just hope we are ready, and I am capable of protecting those that are relying on me.

Sarah and the Doctor (Prairie Tales Book 1) by Kit Morgan (Angel creek press) (753 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Sarah Clemmons had parents who wanted only the best for her. Their best being Oswald Petite. He had money and position. What more could a girl want? But Sarah did want more. A lot more. She had a healing touch and wanted to use it. Her parents thought the notion silly. She thought it practical. But what would Oswald think? She was staring spinsterhood in the face. Which made Oswald her last hope. Unfortunately, Oswald was about as exciting as a walnut. Abijah Waller, an assistant to the famed Dr. Campbell of Edinburgh, Scotland, stayed with his rich cousins in Philadelphia while he worked for the doctor at the city's most prominent university. The best part? He learned as much about doctoring as any of Campbell's students! He couldn't thank his cousin enough for getting him the position. In fact, he was well on his way to becoming a fine physician himself. That is until he got invited to tea one day and began to know Sarah Clemmons. That's when his world turned upside down.
