Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Douglases are traced from 100 A.D. with ancestral background in Ireland around 300 B.C. There is an American branch from the 18th century with connections to the U.S. war of independence and the anti-slave movement. The Crawfords are shown in their early history around the 12th century, then since the early 19th Century in Scotland, Ireland and New Zealand. The Clarks are shown since the mid 19thcentury but with strong Huguenot roots in the 17th century. The Gagens are traced from Germany to Norfolk in the U.K. in the 17th century; and to Canada and America in the 19th, where Dan Gagen married into the Chippewa tribe. The book is about Cyril Gagen who settled in New Zealand with his mid-wife mother in the early 20th century, and is written by his grandson. The last chapter is autobiographical with an in-depth discussion on Social Control and the ethics of its use in modern Britain and New Zealand. The Clarion review states that the book is anti-monarchist which is totally incorrect.

Book Synopsis Benjamin Jesty, the Grandfather of Vaccination by : Patrick John Pead
Download or read book Benjamin Jesty, the Grandfather of Vaccination written by Patrick John Pead and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Jesty has been described as ‘the man history forgot’. Spanning the late 18th and early 19th centuries, this book tells the story of the ingenious Dorset farmer who used cowpox as a vaccine to protect his family against the dreaded disease of smallpox in 1774. This happened 22 years before Dr Edward Jenner used a similar process. The origins of vaccination have always been clouded in controversy. Probing previous accounts flawed by myth or subjectivity, this text sets the record straight. Man’s early attempts at stimulating immunity are rooted in folk wisdom of the distant past. Vaccination was not a ‘discovery’ or a ‘medical breakthrough’, but a development from variolation, substituting cowpox as an inoculum instead of smallpox. Analysing relevant primary sources with an innovative approach, this book reveals the geographical extent of awareness of Jesty’s endeavour in Georgian England, confirms his priority, and seeks to establish his Intellectual Property for the first use of an empirical vaccine. Jenner brought vaccination to the world. His achievement will always take precedence, but the findings of this new research suggest it is now time to honour Benjamin Jesty with the credit he deserves.

Book excerpt: From venerable Westminster Abbey to the cutting-edge exhibitions of the Tate Modern art museum, from the Tower of London's imposing facades guarding the Thames to idyllic St. James's Park, London's storied history and myriad charms make it easy to understand why the city is the number one tourist destination for Americans visiting Europe.
Download or read book Pook's Tender Years written by Peter Pook and published by Emissary Publishing. This book was released on with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most rewarding aspects of a writer’s work is to receive letters from readers asking for more information about his characters. Some requested details of Pook’s early days, while others wanted to hear more about that fiery little nobleman, Honners. In Pook’s Tender Years Peter Pook has tried to satisfy both demands by drawing on the most amusing anecdotes of those formative years from eight to nineteen, and many of these stories are nearer the truth than he cares to admit—such as the derailing of a tram with the aid of a kitchen poker and the destruction of his teacher’s desk by force of gravity. Also on record is Pook’s first meeting with Honners at the Convent of the Holy Angels, where Honners was an unwilling martyr to religious rigours and where Pook’s prayers were directed towards becoming a more proficient prize-fighter. Needless to say, in this book Pook begins his Tale of Woo, as he calls it, with his first love, Olga, and later as an enthusiastic gigolo working for the Renta-Gent Escort Bureau. The abundance of wit and humour to be found in Pook’s Tender Years should satisfy all those readers who enjoyed the previous Pook Books so heartily, as well as attracting many new fans to the Pook brand of fast entertainment.
Book Synopsis London Journal 1762-1763 by : James Boswell
Download or read book London Journal 1762-1763 written by James Boswell and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edinburgh-born James Boswell, at twenty-two, kept a daily diary of his eventful second stay in London from 1762 to 1763. This journal, not discovered for more than 150 years, is a deft, frank and artful record of adventures ranging from his vividly recounted love affair with a Covent Garden actress to his first amusingly bruising meeting with Samuel Johnson, to whom Boswell would later become both friend and biographer. The London Journal 1762-63 is a witty, incisive and compellingly candid testament to Boswell's prolific talents.
Download or read book Dear Mr. Picasso written by Fred Baldwin and published by Schilt Publishing & Gallery. This book was released on 2021-06-14 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photographic memoir of photographer and FotoFest photo festival founder Fred Baldwin’s extraordinary life: how he followed his dream, used his imagination, overcame fear, and acted to accomplish anything. This account takes the reader to high adventure worldwide, but also to disaster and failure. This illustrated love affair with freedom shows how a camera became a passport to the world. The son of an American diplomat, who died when Baldwin was five, the book describes a string of disasters associated with six elite boarding schools and one university led to his exile to work in a factory where he joined low-paid black and white workers in his uncle’s factory in Savannah, Georgia. Baldwin escaped by joining the Marines and was immediately shipped to North Korea in 1950. Wounded and decorated twice, Baldwin also learned from the brutal, 35 below zero weather at the Chosin Reservoir where his unit was surrounded and outnumbered by the Chinese. After Korea, Baldwin moved to Paris, then returned to a junior college in Georgia, won a scholarship to Harvard and transferred to Columbia. Baldwin taught himself photography by visiting MoMa and every photo gallery in New York. Baldwin wanted to be a photojournalist. “I discovered the Civil Rights Movement by chance as I was walking the streets of Savannah planning a book on the city’s architecture. I met change marching toward me in the form of Benjamin Van Clark, a seventeen-year-old student leading his troops chanting into battle. The deep rumblings of the Civil Rights Movement in Georgia and elsewhere somehow had never reached me in Europe. As I wrote, ‘the polar bears I was photographing in the Arctic didn’t tell me about what was happening with Black folks in the South. They were just too white.’” The stories in this book are often laced with self-deprecating humour, a mechanism that Baldwin had developed early as a survival tool.
Book Synopsis The Jacobean Grand Tour by : Edward Chaney
Download or read book The Jacobean Grand Tour written by Edward Chaney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the eighteenth century is traditionally seen as the age of the Grand Tour, it was in fact the continental travel of Jacobean noblemen which really constituted the beginning of the Tour as an institutionalized phenomenon. James I's peace treaty with Spain in 1604 rendered travel to Catholic Europe both safer and more respectable than it had been under the Tudors and opened up the continent to a new generation of aristocratic explorers, enquirers and adventurers. This book examines the political and cultural significance of the encounters that resulted, focusing in particular on two of England's greatest, and newly united, families: the Cecils and the Howards. It also considers the ways in which Protestants and Catholics experienced the aesthetic and intellectual stimulus of European travel and how the cultural experiences of the travellers formed the essential ingredients in what became the Grand Tour.

Book Synopsis How Come Nothing Ever Kills Granddad? by : Patrick M. Sheridan
Download or read book How Come Nothing Ever Kills Granddad? written by Patrick M. Sheridan and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For seventy years, Pat Sheridan has lived an extraordinary and lucky life. He faced life's problems without ever losing his sense of humor, his spirit, or his optimistic outlook. His autobiography takes us inside a family of twelve children, raised in Detroit, and shows us the funny side of growing up in a large family in the post war years. He gives us a very candid look at life in the United States Army in the nineteen sixties. His civic and political activities led him to meetings and shared speaking engagements with U. S. Senators, Vice Presidents of the United States, and a meeting in the Oval Office with President Richard Nixon. We follow his business career with a no-holds barred look at the people he worked with as he progressed toward becoming the Chief Executive Officer of several companies. As Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of a Fortune 500 company, he worked with the financial giants of Wall Street. Pat and his wife, Diane, took their family on annual vacations that eventually brought them to thirty countries. His insights and the humorous incidences that they encounter make for an irreverent tour guide for traveling abroad. Having survived several cancer operations, hepatitis C, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, dozens of kidney stones, and more than a dozen other surgeries and diseases, he calls himself, God's lab rat. His latest cancers led his granddaughter to ask her mother, "How come nothing ever kills granddad?"
