Newfoundland and Labrador by Cadigan Sean
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 478 KB
Overview: Published to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of Newfoundland and Labrador joining Canada, Sean T. Cadigan has written the book that will surely become the definitive history of one of North America’s most distinct and beautiful regions. The site of the first European settlement by Vikings one thousand years ago, a former colony of England, and known at various times as Terra Nova and Newfoundland until its official name change to Newfoundland and Labrador in 2001, this easternmost point of the continent has had a fascinating history in part because of its long-held position as the gateway between North America and Europe. Examining the region from prehistoric times to the present, Newfoundland and Labrador is not only a comprehensive history of the province, but an illuminating portrait of the Atlantic world and European colonisation of the Americas.

Civil War Two: The Coming Breakup of America by Thomas W. Chittum
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 657 KB
Overview: This fascinating book looks into the very real possibility that America could descend into a racial civil war in the coming decade. Frightening, but full of facts that are difficult to argue with.
America was born in blood. America suckled on blood. America gorged on blood and grew into a giant, and America will drown in blood. This is the spectre that is haunting America, the spectre of Civil War II, a second civil war that will shatter America into several new ethnically-based nations. Many will denounce this truth as racist and as a call to violence…

The Cambridge History of Russia: Imperial Russia, 1689-1917 by Dominic Lieven (second volume)
Requirements: MOBI Reader, 3.6 MB
Overview: The second volume of The Cambridge History of Russia covers the imperial period (1689 1917). It encompasses political, economic, social, cultural, diplomatic, and military history. All the major Russian social groups have separate chapters and the volume also includes surveys on the non-Russian peoples and the government’s policies towards them. It addresses themes such as women, law, the Orthodox Church, the police and the revolutionary movement. The volume’s seven chapters on diplomatic and military history, and on Russia’s evolution as a great power, make it the most detailed study of these issues available in English. The contributors come from the USA, UK, Russia and Germany: most are internationally recognised as leading scholars in their fields, and some emerging younger academics engaged in cutting-edge research have also been included. No other single volume in any language offers so comprehensive, expert and up-to-date an analysis of Russian history in this period.

Ships and Science: The Birth of Naval Architecture in the Scientific Revolution, 1600-1800 by Larrie D. Ferreiro
Requirements: MOBI Reader, 4.7 MB
Overview: Naval architecture was born in the mountains of Peru, in the mind of aFrench astronomer named Pierre Bouguer who never built a ship in his life." Sowrites Larrie Ferreiro at the beginning of this pioneering work on the science ofnaval architecture. Bouguer’s monumental book Trait? du navire (Treatise of theShip) founded a discipline that defined not the rules for building a ship but thetheories and tools to predict a ship’s characteristics and performance before it wasbuilt. In Ships and Science, Ferreiro argues that the birth of naval architectureformed an integral part of the Scientific Revolution. Using Bouguer’s work as acornerstone, Ferreiro traces the intriguing and often unexpected development of thisnew discipline and describes its practical application to ship design in theseventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Drawing on previously untapped primary-sourceand archival information, he places the development of naval architecture in thecontexts of science, navy, and society, across the major shipbuilding nations ofBritain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Italy.Ferreirodescribes the formulation of the three major elements of ship theory (the science ofexplaining the physical behavior of a ship): maneuvering and sail theory, shipresistance and hydrodynamics, and stability theory. He considers the era’sinfluential books on naval architecture and describes the professionalization ofship constructors that is the true legacy of this period. Finally, looking from theviewpoints of both the constructor and the naval administrator, he explains why thedevelopment of ship theory was encouraged, financed, and used in naval shipbuilding.A generous selection of rarely seen archival images accompanies the text.

Unknown Wars of Asia, Africa and The America’s That Changed History by Steven M. Johnson
Requirements: MOBI Reader, 10 MB
Overview: The stories of the "Unknown Wars of Asia, Africa and The Americas" were cataclysmic and bloody events that took the lives of millions and impact our world to this day. Yet, most of these wars are hardly mentioned in articles or even textbooks. Among some of the wars covered are: – The wars that involved the Great Wall of China over its’ 1,865 year history as a defensive barrier. – The longest war in history which was the 1,049 year long Vietnamese War of Independence from China and the lessons that should have kept France and the US out of Indo-China. – The wars of the Khmer Empire (802 – 1431) and Jayavarman VII who emerged as an unlikely hero in a time of crises in 1177 to become the greatest king of the Angkor era. – The Jewish Bar Kokhba Revolt (132 – 136) that caused the Emperor Hadrian to cover up the massacre of two veteran Roman Legions and the truth about how close the revolt came to succeeding. The Jewish War from 66 – 73 AD is also covered in a preceding chapter. – The wars of the Spanish Conquistadors to conquer the American Southeast and Southwest in the sixteenth century and the Native American apocalypse in North America that followed. – The Cherokee Wars that came very close to wiping out the colony of South Carolina. – The wars of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade that took the lives of more than 12 million Africans and the slave revolts of the Caribbean and South America. – The Taiping Rebellion (1851 – 1871) that was caused by a Confucian scholar who misunderstood a poorly translated gospel tract and started a rebellion that led to over 30 million deaths. – The 74 year Mongol conquest of China and disasters in Syria, Japan, Vietnam, and Java that led to the breakup of the Mongol Empire. – Before the Holocaust of World War II, there was a Christian holocaust in Germany and Bohemia during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) that caused more than 8 million deaths mostly from genocide being committed by both Catholics and Protestants. – England’s Pirate Wars – The French Conquest of Indo-China 1857 – 1884 – The future wars that half of the world’s population of Jews, Christians, and Muslims are expecting in the near future. About the author: Steven Johnson has been a regular contributing author to Military Heritage and Strategy & Tactics Magazines and has taught History at Limestone College and Riverside High School in South Carolina for more than 20 years. Steven Johnson’s style of narrative writing and teaching of History is as a master storyteller of true events that are stranger than fiction.
