Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical design work, revealing a new level of sophistication not recognized by art historians or engineers. The book reinterprets Leonardo's legacy of notes, showing that apparently unconnected fragments from dispersed manuscripts actually comprise cohesive designs for functioning automata. Using the rough sketches scattered throughout almost all of Leonardo's notebooks, the author has reconstructed Leonardo's programmable cart, which was the platform for other automata. Through a readable, lively narrative, the author explains how he reconstructed da Vinci's designs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weapons of myth and scandal, that is the best way to describe the spigot weapons deployed by the British in the Second World War. Unlike conventional mortars, a spigot mortar does not have a barrel through with the round is fired. Instead, the general concept involves a steel rod – the ‘spigot’ – onto which the bomb is placed before it is fired. This design was, as David Lister reveals, the basis of a number of successful weapons used during the Second World War. The myth of the PIAT man-portable anti-tank weapon is, for example, tied closely to British paratroopers struggling in the ruins of Arnhem with an inadequate design, one inferior to the German equivalent. Similarly, the myth of the Blacker Bombard is of a useless weapon, one of dubious quality, that was dumped on the unsuspecting Home Guard. In reality, neither scenario is the case. Both weapons were devastating creations of war, often superior to any other nation’s counterpart. At sea, the Hedgehog anti-submarine weapon was another powerful spigot weapon. It was undoubtedly capable of sweeping the U-boats from the sea and even winning the Battle of the Atlantic before it had really begun. That it did not is one of the great scandals of the Second World War, one hidden by wartime secrecy until now. In Defeating the Panzer-Stuka Menace the author explores a large number of spigot weapons from the Second World War, many of which were created by the fertile mind of one of Britain’s great weapon inventors, Latham Valentine Stewart Blacker.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an island of misfit artists, it’s Aunt Emma’s turn to play detective Though a few years past sixty, Sarah Kelling’s Aunt Emma is as vigorous as a girl of twenty-two. She sings, she dances, and when the local fire department needs a fundraising boost, she’s happy to jump out a window for charity. This summer, she decamps to Maine, to beat the heat at an island retreat for artists and great thinkers. There are writers, painters, a psychic, and a historian, and their company promises to be great fun—until a few of them go treasure-crazy. Sensible people have long dismissed rumors of the Pocapuk Island treasure as myth, but artists are seldom sensible. When their rampant digging stirs up buried trouble, it leads to theft, drugging, and a murder. And although Sarah and her husband Max give investigative advice by phone, it’s up to Aunt Emma to save the islanders from themselves.

A dwarf shunned by his own kind, looking for a place to belong. A gifted boy shackled by a dark gamble. An elven champion struggling to bring his nation back from the brink of war. An outlaw leader, unable to escape the enmities of his former life. A woman needing to find deliverance for a growing shadow inside of her.

To do this they must forsake ageless oaths and bonds of friendship. They must find and fight the darkness of their own pasts. They must confront the reasons why their world is coming to rot and ruin. But, more importantly still, they must all become heroes.

In consort with partner Nick Deketomis, Gina runs headlong into a life and death struggle against weapons manufacturers, a gun rights lobbyist, psychopathic Chicago police, a hi-tech genius assassin, and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Book excerpt: A master forger has come to Boston, and his clients are not long for this world If she weren’t so fabulous, the Countess Lydia Ouspenska might be considered a gangster’s moll. The last time she met Max Bittersohn, Boston’s famed art-fraud investigator, she was forging minute Byzantine masterpieces to make ends meet. But when Max bumps into her on the Common, the Countess is back on her feet. She has taken up with Bartolo Arbalest, a master forger currently masquerading as an art restorer. And as Bittersohn knows all too well, even the most genteel fraudster cannot be trusted. With the help of his wife, Sarah, Max looks for the secret lair of Bartolo’s supposed restoration guild. But when the guild’s clients begin to die, it becomes clear there is more at stake than a few fabricated icons. The art may be fake, but for Max and Sarah the danger is very real.

Book excerpt: “It was the most goddamn fun I’ve had in thirty thousand years.” Garth Nickels regrets a lot of things he’s said in his life, but those twelve words rank highest on his list. He said them, though, and there’s nothing he can do except change. Warned that his actions since coming to Hospitalis have been driven by the very thing he seeks, Garth resolves to undertake a new, less violent approach to his goals ... a worthy plan given his newest ... ‘problem’: He’s become a celebrity. Surviving the Port Disaster, defeating an augmented soldier in hand-to-hand combat in The Game, donating billions of dollars to the relief effort and offering to essentially build a new spaceport for Hospitalis ... all this has transformed him into something of a systemic hero. How in the hell can he get into The Box if every camera, every reporter, every man, woman, child and avatar in Latelyspace is looking for an autograph or an interview? Still as desperate as ever to get into The Box, Garth begins laying down roots in his adopted city, preparing for the future, preparing to one day -hopefully soon- discover the truth behind his existence, the reasons he slept for thirty thousand years ... everything. First, though, he has to survive a date with Naoko Kamagana. The two lovebirds decide to take a day off so he can get a better view of just how very important The Museum, The Box and The Game are to Latelians. When The Museum becomes the scene of a terrorist action that pushes the Chairwoman and the OverCommander into revealing the true military might of the Latelian Regime, when Chadsik al-Taryin decides to ‘protect’ the man he’s been hired to kill, when Trinity begins to unveil It’s manipulations... It becomes exceptionally difficult for Garth to take the high road.

Book excerpt: There are a wide range of ancient weapons from around the globe. Ancient weapons are often advancements on the earlier phase of weapons development, the primitive weapons man first created for hunting and warfare. However, some have no primitive predecessors, like the sword. Swords can only be crafted through a forging process that had not been invented in the earliest phase of weapon construction. Ancient weapons come in three forms, ranged weapons, melee (close combat) and siege weapons. Many of these weapons, like the sword, are almost universally known while others like the bizarre hunga-munga are little known and defy classification. The age of ancient weapons technically ended with the dawn of the medieval period, but these human powered weapons continued to dominate battlefields up until the ascendance of firearms. However, they can still be found on battlefields up to this very day. This book has been written keeping in view the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students and research scholars in the area of Military History & weapons and warfare.

Then, after centuries of stasis, the island kingdom of Charis began to defy the edicts of Mother Church--egged on, some say, by the mysterious warrior-monk Merlin Athrawes, who enjoys the Charisian royal family's absolute trust. What vanishingly few people know is that Merlin is the cybernetic avatar of a young woman a thousand years dead, felled in the war in which aliens destroyed Earth...and that since awakening, his task has been to restart the history of the long-hidden human race. Now, reeling from the wars and intrigues that have cascaded from Charis's declaration of independence, the Republic of Siddermark slides into chaos. The Church has engineered a rebellion, and Siddermark's all-important harvest is at risk. King Cayleb and Queen Sharleyan struggle to stabilize their ally, which will mean sending troops--but, even more importantly, preventing famine. For mass starvation in Safehold's breadbasket is a threat even more ominous than civil war... Safehold Series 1. Off Armageddon Reef 2. By Schism Rent Asunder 3. By Heresies Distressed 4.
