Book excerpt: The Untold Stories of Heroic Felines Throughout History Across the annals of time, from the grand temples of ancient Egypt to the treacherous trenches of World War I, cats have silently woven themselves into the tapestry of human conflicts, providing unwavering companionship, critical pest control, and morale boosts during the darkest hours. Whiskers in War: The Unsung Feline Heroes of History takes readers on an enthralling journey through the shadowed pages of history, revealing the pivotal yet often overlooked role of these enigmatic creatures. You'll discover the revered status of cats in ancient civilisations, where they protected precious grain stores and accompanied Roman legions in their conquests. The Middle Ages present an era of superstition and tumult, where amidst the chaos of the Black Plague, felines emerged as unlikely allies. Their presence in castles not only kept the rodent population in check but also provided a silent comfort to their human counterparts. Aboard naval ships during the Napoleonic Wars, cats served as vigilant mousers, a tradition carried on through the American Civil War and beyond. Their stories are not just tales of rodent hunting; they are accounts of loyalty and resilience, embodying the unspoken bond between human and animal. World Wars brought unprecedented horrors, yet amidst the carnage, these brave felines provided solace on the home front and aboard warships. Each chapter delves deeper into modern conflicts, shedding light on how these remarkable animals have adapted to changing terrains and warfare technology, all while maintaining their invaluable role. This meticulously researched book, richly peppered with historical anecdotes and veteran accounts, invites readers to rediscover history from a feline perspective. Immerse yourself in the page-turning saga of survival, loyalty, and the enduring spirit of these extraordinary cat heroes who have silently stood beside soldiers, sharing in both their battles and their peace. Whether you are a history enthusiast or a cat lover, Whiskers in War: The Unsung Feline Heroes of History promises to be a compelling addition to your literary collection–a homage to the small, whiskered warriors who have left an indelible paw print on our past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing a War of Words is the first exploration of the war-time quest by Andrew Clark - a writer, historian, and volunteer on the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary - to document changes in the English language from the start of the First World War up to 1919. Clark's unique series of lexical scrapbooks, replete with clippings, annotations, and real-time definitions, reveals a desire to put living language history to the fore, and to create a record of often fleeting popular use. The rise of trench warfare, the Zeppelinophobia of total war, and descriptions of shellshock (and raid shock on the Home Front) all drew his attentive gaze. The archive includes examples from a range of sources, such as advertising, newspapers, and letters from the Front, as well as documenting social issues such as the shifting forms of representation as women 'did their bit' on the Home Front. Lynda's Mugglestone's fascinating investigation of this valuable archive reassesses the conventional accounts of language history during this period, recuperates Clark himself as another 'forgotten lexicographer', challenges the received wisdom on the inexpressibilities of war, and examines the role of language as an interdisciplinary lens on history.

This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 1033 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of the Civil War and Reconstruction in the history of the United States cannot be overstated. Many historians regard the Civil War as the defining event in American history. At stake was not only freedom for 3.5 million slaves but also survival of the relatively new American experiment in self-government. A very real possibility existed that the union could have been severed, but a collection of determined leaders and soldiers proved their willingness to fight for the survival of what Abraham Lincoln called "the last best hope on earth." The second edition of this highly readable, one-volume Historical Dictionary of the Civil War and Reconstruction looks to place the war in its historical context. The more than 800 entries, encompassing the years 1844-1877, cover the significant events, persons, politics, and economic and social themes of the Civil War and Reconstruction. An extensive chronology, introductory essay, and comprehensive bibliography supplement the cross-referenced dictionary entries to guide the reader through the military and non-military actions of one of the most pivotal events in American history. The dictionary concludes with a selection of primary documents. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to World War II, black actors were restricted to mainstream film roles as chauffeurs, maids, night club entertainers, and comic buffoons. But there was a second Hollywood, a BLACK Hollywood, where great producers and directors like Oscar Michaud created films with all-black casts for exhibition to black audiences. Some of the actors worked only in black productions. Others, like the talented Eddie Anderson, could play comic roles in white productions and serious roles in all-black films. When a cache of long-lost African-American films is discovered by cinema researchers, the aged director Edward "Speedy" MacReedy appears to reclaim his place in film history. But insurance investigator Hobart Lindsey and homicide officer Marvia Plum soon find themselves enmeshed in a mystery with its roots deep in the tragic events of a past era, as they seek out...THE SEPIA SIREN KILLER! The fourth entry in this compelling mystery series.

Book excerpt: Two complete novels in the New York Times best-selling series, all in one generous volume. Crusade: Neither side in the Human-Orion war was strong enough to defeat the other, so it fizzled into an uneasy peace filled with hatred and mistrust on both sides. Then a ship appeared from the dim mists of half-forgotten history, and fired on the Orion sentry ship, igniting the fires of interstellar war anew, in a quest to free Holy Mother Terra. In Death Ground: The human race and two other star traveling races had warred with each other in the past, but now all three are at peace-a peace which is shattered by the discovery of a fourth race, the "Bugs." The newcomers are mind-numbingly alien in their thought processes, have overwhelming numbers, and regard all other species as fit only to be food animals. There is no hope for peace with the invaders, and the galaxy explodes with a battle to the death. Kill-or be eaten!

They had gone over on one of the troop ships and it just so happened that they returned on the same ship and with the same Captain and crew. They were returning home covered with scars and wounds received while performing acts of bravery, but what cared they for scars and wounds so long as they had not lost an eye, ear or leg, and were feeling perfectly well and strong? To be sure, Billy had lost the tip of his tail when he was blown up by a bomb, but that did not matter.
