Book Synopsis Cold War Secret Nuclear Bunkers by : Nick McCamley
Download or read book Cold War Secret Nuclear Bunkers written by Nick McCamley and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Draws on previously classified documents to reveal the sums spent on underground shelters for British and American leaders during the Cold War.” —Publishers Weekly Cold War Secret Nuclear Bunkers tells the previously undisclosed story of the secret defence structures built by the West during the Cold War years. Author Nick McCamley reveals the various bunkers built for the U.S. Administration, including the Raven Rock alternate war headquarters (the Pentagon’s wartime hideout), the Greenbrier bunker for the Senate and House of Representatives, and the Mount Weather central government headquarter, as well as developments in Canadas and extensive coverage of the UK, including the London bunkers and Regional War rooms built in the 1950s to protect against Soviet threat. The book examines the provision, (or more accurately, lack of provision), of shelter space for the general population, comparing the situation in the USA and the UK with some other European countries and with the Soviet Union. McCamley also provides in fascinating detail the vast umbrella of radar stations that spanned the North American continent and the north Atlantic from the Aleutian Islands through Canada to the North Yorkshire moors, all centered upon an enormous secret control center buried hundreds of feet below Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. This is complemented in the United Kingdom with a chain of secret radars codenamed ‘Rotor’ built in the early 1950’s, and eight huge, inland sector control centers, built over 100’ underground at enormous cost. Also included is the UK Warning and Monitoring Organization with its underground bunkers and observation posts, as well as the little known bunkers built by the various local authorities and public utilities.
Book Synopsis The Secret Knowledge of Water by : Craig Childs
Download or read book The Secret Knowledge of Water written by Craig Childs and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2008-12-14 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturalist Craig Childs's "utterly memorable and fantastic" study of the desert's dangerous beauty is based on years of adventures in the deserts of the American West (Washington Post). Like the highest mountain peaks, deserts are environments that can be inhospitable even to the most seasoned explorers. Craig Childs, who has spent years in the deserts of the American West as an adventurer, a river guide, and a field instructor in natural history, has developed a keen appreciation for these forbidding landscapes: their beauty, their wonder, and especially their paradoxes. His extraordinary treks through arid lands in search of water are an astonishing revelation of the natural world at its most extreme. "Utterly memorable and fantastic...Certainly no reader will ever see the desert in the same way again." —Suzannah Lessard, Washington Post

Book Synopsis Secret Spaces: Sacred Treasuries in England 1066–1320 by : Lesley Milner
Download or read book Secret Spaces: Sacred Treasuries in England 1066–1320 written by Lesley Milner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval treasure house, consisting of sacristy, vestry and treasure rooms was the depository for the ecclesiastical treasure belonging to a church, holy vessels, vestments, altar hangings, candlesticks and priceless liturgical books and reliquaries. It was carefully designed to convey the message of its status and function. A book devoted to these medieval museums which housed such precious materials is long overdue. Ironically, the interest in the objects that they conserved has often resulted in ecclesiastical treasure being removed to new museums, leaving their former places of protection in need of protection themselves.
Book Synopsis The Secret History of the Roman Roads of Britain by : M.C. Bishop
Download or read book The Secret History of the Roman Roads of Britain written by M.C. Bishop and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many books on Britain's Roman roads, but none have considered in any depth their long-term strategic impact. Mike Bishop shows how the road network was vital not only in the Roman strategy of conquest and occupation, but influenced the course of British military history during subsequent ages. ??The author starts with the pre-Roman origins of the network (many Roman roads being built over prehistoric routes) before describing how the Roman army built, developed, maintained and used it. Then, uniquely, he moves on to the post-Roman history of the roads. He shows how they were crucial to medieval military history (try to find a medieval battle that is not near one) and the governance of the realm, fixing the itinerary of the royal progresses. Their legacy is still clear in the building of 18th century military roads and even in the development of the modern road network. Why have some parts of the network remained in use throughout??The text is supported with clear maps and photographs. ??Most books on Roman roads are concerned with cataloguing or tracing them, or just dealing with aspects like surveying. This one makes them part of military landscape archaeology.

Book Synopsis Adam Usk's Secret by : Steven Justice
Download or read book Adam Usk's Secret written by Steven Justice and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-01-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Usk, a Welsh lawyer in England and Rome during the first years of the fifteenth century, lived a peculiar life. He was, by turns, a professor, a royal advisor, a traitor, a schismatic, and a spy. He cultivated and then sabotaged figures of great influence, switching allegiances between kings, upstarts, and popes at an astonishing pace. Usk also wrote a peculiar book: a chronicle of his own times, composed in a strangely anxious and secretive voice that seems better designed to withhold vital facts than to recount them. His bold starts tumble into anticlimax; he interrupts what he starts to tell and omits what he might have told. Yet the kind of secrets a political man might find safer to keep—the schemes and violence of regime change—Usk tells openly. Steven Justice sets out to find what it was that Adam Usk wanted to hide. His search takes surprising turns through acts of political violence, persecution, censorship, and, ultimately, literary history. Adam Usk's narrow, eccentric literary genius calls into question some of the most casual and confident assumptions of literary criticism and historiography, making stale rhetorical habits seem new. Adam Usk's Secret concludes with a sharp challenge to historians over what they think they can know about literature—and to literary scholars over what they think they can know about history.
