Daily Life of Women in Ancient Rome (Daily Life) by Sara Elise Phang
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.2 MB
Overview: Daily Life of Women in Ancient Rome is an invaluable introduction to the lives of women in the late Roman Republic and first three centuries of the Roman Empire. Arranged chronologically and thematically, it examines how Roman women were born, educated, married, and active in economic, social, public, and religious life, as well as how they were commemorated and honored after death. Though they were excluded from formal public and military offices, wealthy Roman women participated in public life as benefactors and in religious life as priestesses. The book also acknowledges the status and occupations of women taking part in public life as textile producers, retail workers, and agricultural laborers, as well as enslaved women.

The book provides a thorough introduction to the social history of women in the Roman world and gives students and aspiring scholars references to current scholarship and to primary literary and documentary sources, including collected sources in translation.

Birthplace of the Atomic Bomb: A Complete History of the Trinity Test Site by William S. Loring
Requirements: .PDF reader, 25.2 MB
Overview: It was not Robert Oppenheimer who built the bomb—it was engineers, chemists and young physicists in their twenties, many not yet having earned a degree. The first atomic bomb was originally conceived as a backup device, a weapon not then currently achievable. The remote Trinity Site—the birthplace of the bomb—was used as a test range for U.S. bombers before the first nuclear device was secretly detonated. After the blast, locals speculated that the flash and rumble were caused by colliding B-29s, while Manhattan Project officials nervously measured high levels of offsite radiation.

Drawing on original documents, many recently declassified, the author sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history—now approaching its 75th anniversary—told from the point of view of the men who inaugurated the Atomic Age in the New Mexico desert.

The Authorised History of British Defence Economic Intelligence: A Cold War in Whitehall, 1929-90 by Peter Davies
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6 MB
Overview: This book is the first history of UK economic intelligence and offers a new perspective on the evolution of Britain’s national intelligence machinery and how it worked during the Cold War.

British economic intelligence has a longer pedigree than the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) and was the vanguard of intelligence coordination in Whitehall, yet it remains a missing field in intelligence studies. This book is the first history of this core government capability and shows how central it was to the post-war evolution of Whitehall’s national intelligence machinery. It places special emphasis on the Joint Intelligence Bureau and Defence Intelligence Staff – two vital organisations in the Ministry of Defence underpinning the whole Whitehall intelligence edifice, but almost totally ignored by historians.

Scandal at Dolphin Square: A Notorious History by Simon Danczuk, Daniel Smith
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: In 1937 Dolphin Square was built in London’s Pimlico, a major development offering 1,250 flats to well-to-do private individuals. From the outset, it attracted the great and the good – in particular, a long roll-call of Members of Parliament and celebrities. It was perhaps inevitable that scandal would follow not far behind. In fact, in less than a century Dolphin Square has established itself as arguably the most notorious address in the country.

This, then, is the story of the Square – not of its topography, but of its people, an extraordinary array of characters who have borne witness to and been pivotal in some of the most scandalous episodes in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It is a story replete with mysterious deaths, espionage, illicit love affairs, glamour, politics and scandal – from Oswald Moseley, the Carry On gang and Profumo, to allegations of VIP sexual abuse rings.

A saga of color and shade, populated by a cast of Dickens-esque larger-than-life characters, that shines a light on the evolving nature of British politics and society over the last century
