š® 1867: How the Fathers Made a Deal by Christopher Moore (.ePUB) āIn the 1860s, western alienation began at Yonge Street, and George Brown was the Preston Manning of the day.ā So begins Christopher Mooreās fascinating 1990s look at the messy, dramatic, crisis-ridden process that brought Canada into being ā and at the politicians, no more lovable or united than our own, who, against all odds, managed to forge a deal that worked. From the first chapter, he turns a fresh, perceptive, and lucid eye on the people, the issues, and the political theories of Confederation ā from John A. Macdonaldās canny handling of leadership to the invention of federalism and the Senate, from the Quebec question to the influence of political philosophers Edmund Burke and Walter Bagehot. This is a book for all Canadians who love their country ā and fear for it after the failure of the constitution-making of the 1990s. Here is a clear, entertaining reintroduction to the ideas and processes that forged the nation. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Christopher Moore Size 2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/TJpQtCIkq1BV https://devuploads.com/qdumlylo4xkk

The Real Psychology of Trump Presidency by Stanley Renshon (.ePUB)
š® The Real Psychology of Trump Presidency by Stanley Renshon (.ePUB) The United States has never had a president quite like Donald J. Trump. He violated every rule of conventional presidential campaigns to win a race that almost no one, including at times he himself, thought he would win. In so doing, Trump set off cataclysmic shock waves across the country and world that have not subsided and are unlikely to as long as he remains in office. Critics of Trump abound, as do anonymously sourced speculations about his motives, yet the real man behind this unprecedented presidency remains largely unknown. In this innovative analysis, American presidency scholar and trained psychoanalyst Stanley Renshon reaches beyond partisan narrative to offer a serious and substantive examination of Trumpās real psychology and controversial presidency. He analyzes Trump as a preemptive president trying to become transformative by initiating a Politics of American Restoration. Rigorously grounded in both political science and psychology scholarship, The Real Psychology of the Trump Presidency offers a unique and thoughtful perspective on our controversial 45th president. Stanley Renshon is Professor of Political Science at the City University of New York, Herbert H. Lehman College and the Graduate School and University Center, and a certified psychoanalyst. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Stanley Renshon Size 1.1MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/BgYcf45RDaBe https://devuploads.com/6keathcjuveq

City of Lions by Jozef (Józef) Wittlin, Philippe Sands (.ePUB)
š® City of Lions by Jozef (Józef) Wittlin, Philippe Sands (.ePUB) Lviv, Lwów, Lvov, Lemberg. Known by a variety of names, the City of Lions is now in western Ukraine. Situated in different countries during its history, it is a city located along the fault-lines of Europe's history. City of Lions presents two essays, written more than half a century apart - but united by one city. Józef Wittlin's sensual and lyrical paean to his Lwów, written in exile, is a deep cry of love and pain for his city, most of whose familiar faces have fled or been killed. Philippe Sands' finely honed exploration of what has been lost and what remains interweaves a lawyer's love of evidence with the emotional heft of a descendant of Lviv. With an illuminating preface by Eva Hoffman and stunning new photographs by Diana Matar, City of Lions is a powerful and melancholy evocation of central Europe in the twentieth century, with a special resonance for today's troubled continent. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Jozef Size 2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/GzD6QRDIn5Ks https://devuploads.com/v5ae73lagmkj

From ancient folklore to modern medical marvels, Buried Alive delves deep into the annals of history, uncovering tales of premature interment and miraculous escapes. Imagine the horror of waking up in a coffin, surrounded by suffocating darkness, with no hope of escape. Drawing on historical records and eyewitness accounts, this book reveals the grim reality of those who were inadvertently entombed before their time. From cases of war, where whole battalions have been covered in earth whilst still living, to ritual and superstition, from voodoo to suttee in Haiti and India, as well as the immurement in walls or errant monks and convent sisters. Less-known cases of burials of the living, through murderous intentions and natural disasters are also told, alongside tales of fakirs and hypnotists whose challenges were to have themselves put into a grave and left for days. Amidst tales of terror, this book also celebrates the resilience and heroism of those who defied death's grasp, providing a wealth of historical detail and many cases which have never before appeared in print. From the invention of bell-rigged coffins to the formation of societies dedicated to preventing premature burials, discover the remarkable measures taken to combat this age-old fear. Through meticulous research and a gripping narrative, Buried Alive separates fact from fiction, shedding light on the truth behind centuries of taphophobia. This book is a haunting reminder of the fragility of life and the enduring power of human resilience in the face of our deepest fears. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Aj Griffiths-Jones Size 1.9MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/QQiQDHVBkSte https://devuploads.com/3f728f5vr8tl

The Celtic Tribes by John Moss (.ePUB)
š® The Celtic Tribes by John Moss (.ePUB) Explores the rise, migrations, and eventual decline of the Celtic tribes, detailing their wars, culture, and resistance against Roman expansion. The people we know as the Celts were an Iron Age culture that originated in central Europe, probably around modern-day Hungary, Southern Germany and the Czech Republic, some three thousand years ago. They were groups of distinct tribal peoples who shared a common language and culture that thrived until they were confronted by an aggressive and expansionist Roman Empire set on conquest. This book traces their many migrations westward over the following centuries, and their advances into the Atlantic coastal regions, especially into countries like France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Britain and Ireland, largely replacing the Neolithic people that formerly occupied these territories. These migrations were rarely peaceful and as a result the Celts were widely regarded as warlike and inherently aggressive. The book describes the many inter-tribal and territorial confrontations that occurred during the Roman period. It explains the fighting methods, tactics and style of Celtic warfare as well as the warrior leaders like Boudicca, Brennus, Ambiorix and Vercingetorix, and others who emerged to resist Roman incursions. Despite fierce resistance, in the end, little of that great culture survived intact. Many of these tribes were savagely and purposely exterminated as a matter of policy, others were Romanised to become reluctant citizens of the Roman Republic, and only those whose territories lay in the northern and western extremities of the Empire ā in the British islands, Ireland and Brittany in North-West France, avoided total subjugation. Several hundred of these ancient Celtic and other related tribes are included here. Although each had its own distinct identity, they shared a common culture with a widespread and unifying system of religious belief largely held together by Druids. The tribes described in the book include Gauls, Germans, Galatians, Lusitanians, Britons, Picts, Cambrians and Caledonians, among many others. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author John Moss Size 9.6MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/2ke9pUpXUDBt https://devuploads.com/zou6bz5ljmzc

5 Pride and Prejudice Variations by Regina Velarde (.ePUB)
š® 5 Pride and Prejudice Variations by Regina Velarde (.ePUB) I began writing when I was twelve, after reading a book called āHarriet the Spy.ā Harriet had a diary and I decided to start one as well. Now I have over sixty diaries and everything I ever wrote in them has helped me write my books. I began reading when I was four and have been addicted to it ever since. I particularly love books where you can re-read certain sections over and over again, because theyāre so amusing, or touching. So, I have written my books with this in mind. I noticed that when I only wrote what I liked to read, it turned out so much better. So now I only write scenes that engross me, glossing over everything else. If I didnāt need to eat, sleep and work, I would probably write, and read, all the time. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Regina Velarde Size 887KB Category Fiction > Romance ; Fiction > Regency; Adaptations & Pastiche File Type ePUB Darcy's Flight from Rosings: A Pride and Prejudice VariationDarcy's Flight from Rosings: A Pride and Prejudice Variation After being harshly rejected by Elizabeth, Darcy Flees Rosings with a broken heart but attempts to right his wrongs in London. But before he can do this, he must first visit, and flirt with, Caroline Bingley in order to get the Gardinersā address and confess his sins to Jane Bennet. Colonel Fitzwilliam stays at Rosings and falls in love with Anne de Bourgh who finally stands up to her mother and states she will not marry Darcy. Elizabeth stays in Kent, befriends Anne, and slowly becomes convinced that there was more to Darcy than she thought at first. In fact, the more she hears about Darcy from his two cousins, the more she starts to regret her decision not to marry him. But can she convince him of her changed opinion? This Pride and Prejudice variation is full of both humor and angst and will take the reader through a range of emotions as the characters navigate their way through one misunderstanding after another. Diana Fitzwilliam: A Pride and Prejudice VariationDiana Fitzwilliam: A Pride and Prejudice Variation In this role-reversal version of Pride and Prejudice, Lady Diana Fitzwilliam, the tall, raven-haired daughter of the Earl of Matlock is also the mistress of Pemberley (which she inherits from the childless Darcys.) Sensitive and intelligent, but socially awkward, Diana finds it hard to participate in society's events, often donning a mask of haughtiness and indifference. However, one day, she travels to Netherfield with her good friend, Sarah Bingley (and Sarahās sister and brother, the Hursts) and there meets the second son of a local squire, Captain Peter Bennet of the Royal Navy. She inadvertently insults him at a local assembly and is immediately remorseful. Over time she begins to fall in love with him, but is unable to completely trust him after having once been duped by the fortune-hunter, George Wickham. In fact, after almost eloping with Wickham, Diana vows she will only marry a man who is her social equal. This is the story of the beautiful Diana Fitzwilliam and the naval captain whom she loves. Will Diana open her heart again to a mere second son of a minor estate owner? Or will she spend the rest of her days, alone at Pemberley, having nothing but her memories to sustain her? 3 Elizabeth and Jane: A Pride and Prejudice VariationElizabeth and Jane: A Pride and Prejudice Variation The story begins at Longbourn where Elizabeth, Jane and their father now live quietly after the rest of the family are killed in a carriage accident. Mr. Bennet spends his days staring vacantly out the window, while his two remaining daughters run the estate. Then one day Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley return to pay their condolences. Elizabeth vacillates between regret at how callously she treated Darcy during his proposal, and anger over how he insulted her family even as he declared his love. Jane, on the other hand, is more realistic in her views of people but is uncertain if she can risk giving her heart away again. Darcy tries valiantly to be more amiable to everyone in the neighborhood, while Bingley attempts to show Jane his newfound strength and ability to resist his sister's machinations. Caroline Bingley also returns and attempts to turn her brother away from Jane, while Wickham comes back with the regiment and becomes angry that Elizabeth no longer believes his lies. Mr. Bennet finally starts to shed his lassitude, eventually becoming more like the father he should have been in the first place. In the midst of all of this are two young women from Plymouth, Mrs. Longās nieces, who feel that they now hold the hearts of the two gentlemen. This P&P variation centers on the principal characters - their struggles to change, to overcome their weaknesses, and attempt to become the best versions of themselves. 4 Despised: A Pride and Prejudice VariationDespised: A Pride and Prejudice Variation Elizabeth Bennet goes to Netherfield to care for her sister and, while there, is treated with such contempt by its occupants that the only way she can find respite is by spending time in a small reading room with a fine collection of books. One night she goes there and is surprised to find Darcy in the room as well. Eventually she discovers that it is not a reading room at all but his sitting room. She is just about to leave when a maid walks in and catches them together. Two weeks later they are married and on their way to Pemberley. Darcy, whose attraction to Elizabeth had been slowly growing, now finds he cannot respect her, believing she purposely staged the compromise. Elizabeth, on the other hand, remains disgusted by Darcyās coldness and arrogance, and is devastated that she must now spend the rest of her life with the one man she hates above all others. They arrive at Pemberley and Elizabeth comes to find that the entire household is against her, all believing that she trapped their master into marriage. But nevertheless, she attempts to establish some accord with both the staff and her ever moody husband. And, in spite of himself, Darcy cannot help but admire Elizabeth, and over time begins to realise that his admiration may be turningā¦into love. 5 Angel of the Morning: A Pride and Prejudice VariationAngel of the Morning: A Pride and Prejudice Variation In the year 1809, an eighteen year old girl travels to Scotland with her aunt and uncle and meets a young man at a bridge overlooking a river. They talk about their hopes for the future and the things they wish to do. The conversation is unique and memorable but only lasts for half an hour. At the end of it, the girl leaves and neither ever knows anything about the other except the middle names of each. Months later, they both become engaged to other people at the request of their fathers. One year after that, they encounter each other for the second time - in a field of wildflowers in Derbyshire. So happy to be in one anotherās company once more, they trek through the woods together but get caught in the rain and eventually spend the night in a hunting lodge. Despite the intensity of their love, they part ways again, because she is now engaged to her cousin William (the parson of Hunsford) and he is now engaged to his cousin Anne (the heiress of Rosings.) In the fall of 1811, they meet for the third time at an assembly in Meryton. And she is finally introduced to him as Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourn, while he is introduced to her as Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley. They dance together, ecstatic to be once more in each otherās company. But their happiness is short-lived because, despite now knowing who the other is, they are still betrothed to other people and realise that they can never be together. This stirring Pride and Prejudice variation revolves around the unfulfilled love between two people who choose to do their duty but cannot help but give in, occasionally, to the temptation of being together. š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Azva5j4bi7Dz https://devuploads.com/aa7dmyzp4g9g

Defectors from the Reich by David Tremain (.ePUB)
š® Defectors from the Reich by David Tremain (.ePUB) Two German defectors turned British double agents, disillusioned with Nazism, manipulated wartime intelligence and postwar politics. Two German defectors who were to serve British Intelligence from 1942 to 1945 were, in many ways, two of a kind. One was a Nazi, having served in the Waffen-SS and given the code name COLUMBINE as a double agent under the Double-Cross System, while the other was not. Both had become disillusioned with the way things were going with the war and generally disgusted with the Nazi regime and resolved to try to change the course of events. One was an adventurer who claimed after the war to have been a British agent and parachuted into France, yet nothing could have been further from the truth. He even tried his hand at acting in an American B-movie. There was also a family connection with a future British prime minister. Like many spies, they both had large egos and were good at manufacturing information or distorting the truth. One of them ended up working for the Political Warfare Executive, so it is perhaps not surprising that he exploited his craft in post-war West Germany, mostly for his own ends. Between them, they were to cause MI5 a lot of headaches both during the war and afterwards into the Cold War period. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author David Tremain Size 7.9MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/9e5XLCL0ADix https://devuploads.com/oovzpzzidr2j

The East Pomeranian Offensive, 1945 by Ian Baxter (.ePUB)
š® The East Pomeranian Offensive, 1945 by Ian Baxter (.ePUB) In early 1945, the Red Army marched into East Prussia. Having advanced across Poland, relentlessly pushing back German forces, the Red Army built up forces along the Oder River, preparing for the final push towards Berlin. But before that battle could take place, it was necessary to clear and destroy German forces in Pomerania and West Prussia. In February 1945, the 2nd Byelorussian Front was advanced west north of the Vistula River toward Pomerania and the major port city of Danzig, with the primary aim of protecting the right flank of Zhukovās 1st Byelorussian Front, which was pushing towards Berlin. The opening of the offensive saw a series of heavy attacks east of Neustettin against the towns of Kontiz and Koslin. The fighting was bitter, resulting in the entire left wing of the 3rd Panzer Army being cut off. Forward Soviet tank units reached the Baltic, and the German forces in Pomerania became trapped in a series of encirclements. Russian troops then pushed on to Danzigāstrategic location and the last German stronghold in the regionāreaching it in early March and putting it under siege. A third stage was the operation to take the Arnswalde and Kolberg areas. Kolberg was one of the key German positions in the āPomeranian wall,ā the vital link between Pomerania and Prussia. The German high command had planned to use the port facilities for the logistical supply of nearby German forces, and hoped that the presence of this stronghold would lure Soviet forces away from the main thrust toward Berlin. The ensuing battle was brutal, with Soviet troops eventually seizing Kolberg. Finally, spearheads of the 1st Byelorussian Front advanced against the German Eleventh SS Panzer Army, which was being assembled in Pomerania. What followed was a bitter and bloody battle for the town of Altdamm. The offensive successfully cleared the remnants of German forces northeast of Berlin, allowing Zhukovās forces to finally launch the battle of Berlin from the Seelow Heights on the Oder on April 16, 1945. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Ian Baxter Size 42.4MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/15yH419UgqQg https://devuploads.com/hk1nkfpkz71j

š® Scottish Literature of the South Seas by Richard J. Hill (.PDF) This volume, edited by Richard J. Hill and Allison E. Francis, explores literary connections between Scotland and the Pacific. The contributors, including some of the worldās foremost scholars in Scottish and Pacific studies, examine how Scottish writing about the Pacific, and Pacific engagement with Scottish culture, generates a cultural examination of Scotlandās place in the British colonizing hierarchy. While Robert Louis Stevenson was the principal Scottish author who shaped these early discussions, other prominent Scottish authors are also analyzed. Several chapters examine Scottish engagement with the South Seas, before and after Stevensonās involvement with Pacific cultural and political affairs. The book lends weight and understanding as to why Pacific Islandersāboth immigrant and indigenousāoften claim affiliations with Scotland, and in the case of Hawaii and Samoa, to Stevenson in particular. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Richard J.

A Grand Opening Squandered by Sean Michael Chick (.ePUB)
š® A Grand Opening Squandered by Sean Michael Chick (.ePUB) The Battle of Petersburgās intense four-day clash marked a missed Union opportunity, prolonging the Civil War with dramatic consequences. May and June 1864 in Virginia witnessed some of the most brutal and bloody fighting of the Civil War. Combined losses for the two armies after the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, North Anna, and Cold Harbor exceeded 80,000 killed, wounded, and captured. The result? A stalemate outside Richmond. The carnage notwithstanding, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant set his armies toward their next target: the logistical powerhouse of Petersburg. His bold maneuver, which included the construction of a lengthy pontoon bridge across the broad James River and a surprise march against the city, caught Confederate commander Gen. Robert E. Lee by surprise. Petersburg was lightly guarded and seemed at the mercy of the Federals. Its capture would sever the lifelines into Richmond, force the evacuation of the Southern capital, and ensure President Abraham Lincolnā s reelection, eliminating whatever thin hopes the Confederacy still had for victory. Petersburgās small garrison was determined to hold the city. Its department commander, Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, realized the danger and shifted as many men as he could spare into the defenses and took the field himself. North of the river, meanwhile, Lee remained unconvinced that Grant had stolen a march on him. The four days of fighting that followed (June 15ā18) would determine if the war would end or drag on. Somehow, the Confederates managed to hold on against the bungled Federal effort and fight them to a standstill. Leeās army finally began arriving on June 18. Petersburg would holdāfor now. Beauregardās impressive achievement was one of the Southās last strategic victories. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Sean Michael Chick Size 30.1MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/r24txihf6Iqt https://devuploads.com/1lg4mptwq27m

Intelligent Warfare by Frank Kitson (.ePUB)
š® Intelligent Warfare by Frank Kitson (.ePUB) As this superb memoir bears out, General Sir Frank Kitsonās 41-year career ranks among the most distinguished and eventful of the post-1945 era. Commissioned into the Rifle Brigade at the end of the Second World War, he distinguished himself during the vicious Mau Mau campaign. His highly innovative tactics and personal courage earned him his first Military Cross. The second quickly followed in Malaya at the height of the Emergency. In typically understated style, the Author describes his role planning the fight against communist aggression in Oman and his two tours in Cyprus, the second when commanding 1st Battalion The Royal Green Jackets. His effective uncompromising approach while commanding 39 Infantry Brigade in Belfast in the early 1970s was to have life-long security implications for Kitson and his family. Despite controversy he was marked out for high command. As GOC 2nd Armoured Division in BAOR and Commandant of The Staff College, his forensic brain and experience made a significant impact at a time of change. His final appointment was Commander-in-Chief UK Land Forces. How fortunate that this gifted, gallant and inspiring leader was persuaded by his ever-supportive wife Elizabeth to record his career and military thinking, albeit on the condition it would only be published after his death. The result is a highly readable, wide-ranging work which will appeal to all interested in late 20th Century military history. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Frank Kitson Size 5.1MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/bgXkbXXb2dLd https://devuploads.com/bfbe7bwcvft3

The Montiers by Donald Scott Sr. (.ePUB)
š® The Montiers by Donald Scott Sr. (.ePUB) The very important story of an interracial family that can be traced through multiple generations and into the 20th century. The African-American Montier family traces its roots to the British-born Caucasian son of Philadelphiaās first mayor, Richard Morrey, who had a relationship with Cremona, a young woman who had been enslaved by the Morrey family, resulting in five mixed-race children. Before his death, Richard would pass to Cremona 200 acres of land, giving her an almost unique position in 18th-century Philadelphia. On this land a small Black town known as Guineatown would grow up, with an associated cemetery. Cremonaās descendants and luminaries associated with the family include Cyrus Bustill, a black activist and baker who made bread for the Continental Army; David Bustill Bowser, a 19th-century activist who designed and created the colors for eleven African-American regiments at Camp William Penn; the great Paul Robeson, renowned scholar, lawyer, diplomat, athlete, singer, and actor; and William Pickens, Sr., a co-founder of the NAACP. The Montiers traces this unique family to the present day. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Donald Scott Sr. Size 37.2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Vwe5H9RHP6du https://devuploads.com/5m7ikksqst89

Night Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe 1940ā43 by Neil Page (.ePUB)
š® Night Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe 1940ā43 by Neil Page (.ePUB) During World War II, the Luftwaffe's Nachtjagd evolved from chaos to effective night fighter units in response to RAF Bomber Command raids. On 10 May 1940, the Wehrmacht launched its assault on the West. One element of the Westās response was the dispatch of RAF Bomber Command āheavyā bombers at night over German industrial centers. These raids had only limited effectiveness, but the inability of the Luftwaffe to chase down RAF bombers at night so annoyed Wolfgang Falck that it swiftly resulted in the creation of a credible night fighter force. Initial trials had been flown with Bf 110s at dusk in Denmark in April, and 1. Nachtjagd.Division was founded in the summer of 1940. Its first few months were chaotic, with constant reorganizations of units, and reassignment of aircraft, but soon enough the night fighter arm was achieving steady victoriesāand losing crews at a similarly steady rate. Despite the efforts of senior leadership, the Nachtjagd constantly struggled to secure sufficient personnel or aircraft, and would spend most of its life playing catch upāits radar systems regularly outdone by RAF Bomber Commandās jamming capabilities, though the development of SchrƤge Musik and Wilde Sau did give the Nachtjagd an edge. The first specialist Luftwaffe night fighterāthe Heinkel He 219āwould be trialled only in 1943. Fully illustrated, this is a full chronological account of the night fighter units for the first part of World War II, covering major campaigns, the biographies of individual aces, and the details of the technology developed for the Nachtjagd. ā»ļø Book's Info: Author Neil Page Size 40.6MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB š„ Download Links: https://uploda.sh/jjgIMJnuxynO https://devuploads.com/ducgulde8jzo
