Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is unexpected in any era to find a woman writing a book on the art of warfare, but in the fifteenth century it was unbelievable. Not surprisingly, therefore, Christine de Pizan's The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry, written around 1410, has often been regarded with disdain. Many have assumed that Christine was simply copying or pilfering earlier military manuals. But, as Sumner Willard and Charity Cannon Willard show in this faithful English translation, The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry contains much that is original to Christine. As a military manual it tells us a great deal about the strategy, tactics, and technology of medieval warfare and is one of our most important sources for early gunpowder weapon technology. It also includes a fascinating discussion of Just War. Since the end of the fifteenth century, The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry has been available primarily through Antoine Vérard's imprint of 1488 or William Caxton's 1489 translation, The Book of the Order of Chivalry. Vérard even suggested that the work was his own translation of the Roman writer Vegetius, making no mention of Christine 's name. Caxton attributed the work to Christine, but it is impossible to identify the manuscript he used for his translation. Moreoever, both translations are inaccurate. The Willards correct these inaccuracies in a clear and easy-to-read translation, which they supplement with notes and an introduction that will greatly benefit students, scholars, and enthusiasts alike. Publication of this work should change our perception both of medieval warfare and of Christine de Pizan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join our plucky Victorian Egyptologist, together with her devastatingly handsome and brilliant husband Radcliffe, in another exciting escapade Swapping the stifling heat and dust of Egypt for the cooler climes of London, adventuress Amelia Peabody finds herself plunged into an escapade set in the dignified surroundings of the British Museum, and as ever, she is aided and abetted by her irascible husband Emerson and precocious son Ramses. First of all a night watchman is found dead in the Mummy Room of the museum, a look of horror frozen on his face and very soon panic spreads through the capital while the gutter press ask the question 'Can Fear Kill?'. And before Amelia can respond with an appropriate answer, a pair of dissolute aristocrats with a shady past appear in her life together with supernatural curses, a lady of dubious reputation with a link to Emerson's bachelor past and a homicidal maniac disguised as an ancient Sem priest - but they are only the very tip of this most singular mystery. And as Amelia closes in on the murderer, Emerson and Ramses must try to keep her from adding herself to the list of victims...

Book excerpt: In 1945, six African American families from St. Louis, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., began a desperate fight to keep their homes. Each of them had purchased a property that prohibited the occupancy of African Americans and other minority groups through the use of legal instruments called racial restrictive covenants--one of the most pervasive tools of residential segregation in the aftermath of World War II. Over the next three years, local activists and lawyers at the NAACP fought through the nation's courts to end the enforcement of these discriminatory contracts. Unjust Deeds explores the origins and complex legacies of their dramatic campaign, culminating in a landmark Supreme Court victory in Shelley v. Kraemer (1948). Restoring this story to its proper place in the history of the black freedom struggle, Jeffrey D. Gonda's groundbreaking study provides a critical vantage point to the simultaneously personal, local, and national dimensions of legal activism in the twentieth century and offers a new understanding of the evolving legal fight against Jim Crow in neighborhoods and courtrooms across America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE ACADEMY AWARD WINNING MOVIE CLASSIC. "What happens when a young man inherits $20,000,000 and finds no greater joy than playing the tuba in a small town band? Everybody thinks he's crazy! But when he goes to town, he goes to town! The comedy of the year." -Harrisonburg Telegraph How Clarence Budington Kelland created Mr. Deeds: "As I sat around for days on end, I dreamed up a pet character, myself no doubt, who was young and fine and suddenly acquired a bit of money. Then he went- to a strange city and did good things with it in romantic ways. Thirty-odd years later that brain child blossomed into print in "Opera Hat" and onto the screen as "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." You may have already met Mr. Deeds in the Academy Award winning 1930s film, "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," or the 1960s television series of the same name, or the recent Adam Sandler movie remake, "Mr. Deeds." But whether you have met him before or not, here is the original Mr. Deeds, the poetry writing, tuba playing man from Mandrake Falls, exactly as novelist Clarence Budington Kelland created him - with a small seasoning of mystery and a dash of murder they left out of the movie versions. Here is Clarence Budington Kelland, the old master of romantic comedy and romantic suspense, with his signature oddball characters, madcap satire, and pixilated characters. Among the latter: Victor Semple, a long-lost great-uncle who left $20,000,000 to Longfellow Deeds of Mandrake Falls VT. Lathrop Cedar, senior member of the firm of Cedar, Cedar, Cedar and McGonigle, Attorneys at Law, representing the Victor Semple's estate - Mr. Cedar was even more pedantic than his title suggested. Madame Pomponi, the world trembled when this super diva threw one of her famed volcanic fits - but not Mr. Deeds. Simonetta Petersen, personal secretary to Madame Pomponi - this cynical child of the Big Apple would never have believed she could fall for a sincere hick from small town USA, until she met Mr. Deeds. Percival Dide, one of the most highly regarded authors of the age, he had no idea anyone actually make money writing, until he learned how much Mr. Deeds got paid for composing greeting card verse. Nina Motti, the opera company's leading dancer - she died in the second act, in her dressing room, with a bullet through her heart. Mario Granzi, an attorney not Quite of the bracket of Cedar, Cedar, Cedar and McGonigle, who claimed to represent Mrs. Victor Semple, or at least his common-law-wife, or at least they lived together "man and wife" - and who anyway was entitled to s a substantiaL settlement from the estate. "Deeds, a verse writing young man in Mandrake Falls, who plays the tuba in the town band, falls heir to $20,000,000. His arrival in New York to claim the fortune surrounds him with a nest of grafters who are out to leave Deeds as little of his money as possible. Deeds' eccentricities provide a field day." - Minneapolis Star "Longfellow Deeds, a simple tuba-playing, verse-writing young man in Vermont, is suddenly left $201000,000. What he does with the money and what happens to him in New York give the plot unexpected twists, turns and suspense." -Philadelphia Inquirer Inspiration for the movie Pauline Kael in the New Yorker, called "a homey fantasy demonstrating the triumph of small-town values over big-city cynicism. Longfellow Deeds the sincere greeting-card poet from New England comes to New York."

Book excerpt: From the author of Fobbit: “A stirring, sardonic war story . . . Mordantly funny and harrowing . . . Reminiscent of such classic war novels as Catch-22” (Tampa Bay Times). A Military Times Best Book of 2017, Brave Deeds is a compelling novel of war, brotherhood, and America. Spanning eight hours, the novel follows a squad of six AWOL soldiers as they attempt to cross war-torn Baghdad on foot to attend the funeral of their leader, Staff Sergeant Rafe Morgan. As the men make their way to the funeral, they recall the most ancient of warriors yet are a microcosm of twenty-first-century America, and subject to the same human flaws as all of us. Drew is reliable in the field but unfaithful at home; Cheever, overweight and whining, is a friend to no one—least of all himself; and platoon commander Dmitri “Arrow” Arogapoulos is stalwart, yet troubled with questions about his own identity and sexuality. Emotionally resonant, true-to-life, and thoughtfully written, Brave Deeds is a gripping story of combat and of perseverance, and an important addition to the oeuvre of contemporary war fiction. “Earnest and affecting . . . The soldiers are foulmouthed, sex-obsessed and fiercely loyal for reasons they can’t quite articulate—in other words, packed with young American male authenticity. Abrams’s prose is relaxed and conversational, with a few scattered literary nuggets that add heft, like chunks of beef in a vegetable soup. . . . The mash-up works, and Abrams’s voice is clear and strong.” —Brian Castner, The Washington Post “Outstanding . . . With a little bit of humor and bumbling grace, these six soldiers magnify what is both beautiful and despairing about the American military.” —Missoulian
