Book Synopsis Memoirs of a British Agent by : R. H. Bruce Lockhart
Download or read book Memoirs of a British Agent written by R. H. Bruce Lockhart and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2011-04-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first published in 1932, this memoir was an immediate classic, both as a unique eyewitness account of Revolutionary Russia and as one mans story of struggle, and tragedy set against the background of great events. Aged 25, Lockhart became the British Vice-Consul to Moscow in 1912. With revolution in the air, it was dangerous, decadent posting. The 'Boy Ambassador' became an eyewitness to pivotal events and in 1918 was charged with establishing a diplomatic understanding with the Bolsheviks, to ensure that Russia remained in the war against Germany. It was a precarious mission: Whitehall could not be seen support revolutionaries; Lockhart grew wary of his masters secret machinations; while Lenin and Trotsky's cordial relations with the British agent never quite dispelled their mistrust of the nation he represented. When Lockhart met Moura Budberg, who became the great love of his life, he was in an increasingly vulnerable position. In September 1918 he would be falsely accused of a counter-revolutionary plot to overthrow the Bolsheviks, and sent to the Loubianka. His account even inspired a Hollywood movie. From his evocative descriptions of revolutionary Moscow, where the champagne flowed as the bourgeoisie trembled, to his audiences with Trotsky and his brushes with death, this is a vivid, unique memoir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Through the stories of the elders, he also learned how this way of life had changed since their capture, as many of the traditional ways of the Chiricahuas were altered or lost in the ensuing decades after Geronimo's people surrendered to the U.S. Army in 1886. Decades of incarceration followed - first in Florida, then in Alabama, and finally in Oklahoma. More than half died in hot, humid prison camps because the Chiricahuas had no inborn resistance to the virulent diseases brought to North America by Europeans. Then in 1913, with fewer than three hundred left, the Chiricahuas were released and received land allotments near their last prison site, Fort Sill, or on the Mescalero Apache Reservation where Ove arrived thirty-five years later."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Alfred North Whitehead by : Victor Lowe
Download or read book Alfred North Whitehead written by Victor Lowe and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1985. The second volume of Victor Lowe's definitive work on Alfred North Whitehead completes the biography of one of the twentieth century's most influential yet least understood philosophers. In 1910 Whitehead abruptly ended his thirty-year association with Trinity College of Cambridge and moved to London. The intellectual and personal restlessness that precipitated this move ultimately led Whitehead—at the age of sixty-three—to settle in America and change the focus of his work from mathematics to philosophy. Volume 2 of Alfred North Whitehead: The Man and His Work follows Whitehead's journey to the United States and analyzes his expanding intellectual life. Although Whitehead wrote philosophy based on natural science while still in London, he began his most important work shortly after moving to Harvard in 1924. Science and the Modern World appeared in 1925, Religion in the Making in 1926, Symbolism in 1927, and Process and Reality in 1929. Discussing these and other important works, Lowe combines scholarly analysis with valuable insights gathered from Whitehead's friends and colleagues. Although Whitehead ordered that all his private papers be destroyed, Lowe was given access to letters the philosopher wrote to his son, North, and others. Never before published, the letters add a new personal dimension to Whitehead's life and thought. Photographs of the philosopher, his family, and associates provide an intimate look at a private and self-effacing man whose work has had a lasting impact on twentieth-century thought.

Book Synopsis Assembling California by : John McPhee
Download or read book Assembling California written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee made geological field surveys in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result of these trips is Assembling California, a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults. The two disparate time scales occasionally intersect—in the gold disruptions of the nineteenth century no less than in the earthquakes of the twentieth—and always with relevance to a newly understood geologic history in which half a dozen large and separate pieces of country are seen to have drifted in from far and near to coalesce as California. McPhee and Moores also journeyed to remote mountains of Arizona and to Cyprus and northern Greece, where rock of the deep-ocean floor has been transported into continental settings, as it has in California. Global in scope and a delight to read, Assembling California is a sweeping narrative of maps in motion, of evolving and dissolving lands.
Download or read book HisStory written by Henry Gaillard and published by Urlink Print & Media, LLC. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984, I participated in a marijuana urinalysis test. I later discovered that the contracted laboratory did not properly test the sample. e lab simply reported my sample as positive. (Note: Prior to this I had been the recipient of the highest security attainable.) At the time of the test, I was the COSMEC custodian for the entire Fort Sill military installation and the school instructor for the basic officer's course and the advanced noncommissioned officers course. None of those titles prevented the army from extremely demoralizing me. I was forced into bankruptcy; lost my house, family, and cars; led to the front gate of Fort Sill; and told to never return. I am originally from Charleston, South Carolina. Two days after I got to my parent's home, a letter was received from the paid attorney, informing me that the army wanted to reinstate me. My father died two weeks later. As I later discovered, it was impossible to litigate a case against the government if they are willing to reinstate you. is was probably the reason why while I was charged with gross misconduct. I was given an honorable discharge. Against my mother's wishes, I reentered the army eight months later and was assigned the position of assistant to the Inspector General for the 197th Infantry Brigade in Fort Benning, Georgia. I performed in this capacity magnificently. After two years, I was instructed to attend the IG school at Fort Belvoir, and after three days there, when a required background check was done, I learned that the army left derogatory information in my files, which would have caused me to be washed out before retirement. is had a snowball effect on my career, and I was soon after discharged again for financial misconduct. Since then, my mother passed on, and I have been in a horrific accident that caused me to lose my left eye, and I became homeless for several years.
