Rest in Pieces: The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses by Bess Lovejoy
Requirements: EPUB Reader, 3.1 MB
Overview: IN THE LONG RUN, WE’RE ALL DEAD. But for some of the most influential figures in history, death marked the start of a new adventure.
The famous deceased have been stolen, burned, sold, pickled, frozen, stuffed, impersonated, and even filed away in a lawyer’s office. Their fingers, teeth, toes, arms, legs, skulls, hearts, lungs, and nether regions have embarked on voyages that crisscross the globe and stretch the imagination. Counterfeiters tried to steal Lincoln’s corpse. Einstein’s brain went on a cross-country road trip. And after Lord Horatio Nelson perished at Trafalgar, his sailors submerged him in brandy—which they drank. From Mozart to Hitler, Rest in Pieces connects the lives of the famous dead to the hilarious and horrifying adventures of their corpses, and traces the evolution of cultural attitudes toward death.

Hitler: History’s Greatest Hoax by Ethan Gollings
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 322 KB
Overview: Adolf Hitler is notoriously the most hated man in history. Once a miserable citizen of the Austro-Hungarian empire, turned WW1 “hero”, and eventually the Fuhrer of a country in absolute political turmoil.
The little man who would shake up the world and change the course of history forever. In this book we will travel from 1878-1945 in order to sort the facts from the fiction of the most debated about man in history and the time in which he lived.
In doing so, we will examine shocking evidence from Mein Kampf and various tape recordings in private, as well as speeches, to discover what Adolf Hitler really was. Was he a huge German Nationalist with fabricated dreams of racial purity, or a genocidal work of evil willing to do anything to corrupt the world?
Once you’ve read this book you’ll know the answer to this question. Why read this book? It is the balanced interpretation of a crafted work of evil. One that with any luck will answer any questions you have about this period; going from the creation of the German empire to the aftermath of the fall of the Third Reich, this is Hitler’s rise and fall in words.

The Earliest Norwegian Laws: Being the Gulathing Law and the Frostathing Law by Laurence M. Larson (Author)
Requirements: Any PDF Reader, 35.3 MB | Version: Retail Print Replica
Overview: Compilation of Early Norwegian Laws. "The oldest Norwegian laws, those of Gula and Frosta, go back to a time when the culture of the Middle Ages was still a somewhat novel experience in Northern Europe. Though the copies that have survived seem to date from the twelfth century and later, the codes must, in considerable part, have taken form in the eleventh century, or as early as the first generation of the Christian age. Heathendom had by that time been outlawed, but one seems justified in believing that the cult of strength and valor was for some time yet a force that had to be taken into account; for the principles that governed in the heathen age retained much of their ancient vigor, and the old civilization, rooted, as it was, in the soil itself, was able in large measure to maintain both life and validity." –Foreword, vii Laurence M. Larson [1868-1938] was a Professor of History at the University of Illinois.
