Описание: Set amidst the 1812 Anglo-American war The Washington Adventure follows the story of legendary pompous idiot, William (Lord) Peel of Tornbridge, the inept financier who arrived on the east coast of America with a ship full of gold and slaves and hopes of clinching a lucrative land deal. With British forces stretched by the never-ending war with Napoleon, President Madison had chosen his moment to strike and needed gold for weapons and slaves to complete the country's new capital, Washington. Unbeknown to William and Madison, however, Europe's war with Bonaparte had suddenly ended and four thousand battle-hardened veterans - Wellington's Invincibles - had been dispatched across the Atlantic with orders to Raise Hell. By the time William arrived in Chesapeake Bay it wasn't the welcoming embrace of the President that greeted him but the British poised for invasion. Based around true events, The Washington Adventure follows a chain of catastrophes that sees William's slaves being taken by the British to fight the Americans and ends with him being blamed for the destruction of the White House as the new capital is obliterated in a single night. Taken from William Peel's own journals and corroborated by the Tornbridge Museum, The Washington Adventure gives an unparalleled glimpse into one of the most extraordinary events in Anglo American history; not to mention finally opening up the bizarre and inane world of one of Europe's most influential buffoons. The Washington Adventure is a Gold Medal winner on Harper Collins' international book platform, Authonomy, ultimately reaching No.1 in their chart. At the time of reaching the coveted 'Editor's Desk' it was the highest rated comedy on the site and amongst the highest rated books of all time. Harper Collins gave the following review. 'William Peel is a brilliant character, an aristocratic buffoon - so wealthy he is beyond reproach, and lacking any self awareness, he makes for a superbly comic protagonist. This is a brilliant example of the historical comedy genre' It was rated 4.5 / 5 by hundreds of Authonomy readers with reviews such as... 'well written, funny and highly entertaining', 'brilliant', 'comic genius', 'hysterical fiction', 'absolutely hilarious'.

Описание: " A] truly uplifting tale of deliverance from certain death . . . A deeply personal read, in which the reader is drawn into the highs and lows of the action, the tragedy, and the salvation, because Moore has so successfully drawn out the characters. . . . Compelling reading and hard to put down."--Naval HistoryThe heroic story of eleven American POWs who defied certain death in World War II, As Good as Dead is an unforgettable account of the Palawan Massacre survivors and their daring escape. In late 1944, the Allies invaded the Japanese-held Philippines, and soon the end of the Pacific War was within reach. But for the last 150 American prisoners of war still held on the island of Palawan, there would be no salvation. After years of slave labor, starvation, disease, and torture, their worst fears were about to be realized. On December 14, with machine guns trained on them, they were herded underground into shallow air raid shelters--death pits dug with their own hands. Japanese soldiers doused the shelters with gasoline and set them on fire. Some thirty prisoners managed to bolt from the fiery carnage, running a lethal gauntlet of machine gun fire and bayonets to jump from the cliffs to the rocky Palawan coast. By the next morning, only eleven men were left alive--but their desperate journey to freedom had just begun. As Good as Dead is one of the greatest escape stories of World War II, and one that few Americans know. The eleven survivors of the Palawan Massacre--some badly wounded and burned--spent weeks evading Japanese patrols. They scrounged for food and water, swam shark-infested bays, and wandered through treacherous jungle terrain, hoping to find friendly Filipino guerrillas. Their endurance, determination, and courage in the face of death make this a gripping and inspiring saga of survival.

The Christmas Adventure
It's Christmas Eve night. Neatly wrapped presents are under the tree that is laden with decorations. The kitchen is well stocked for tomorrow's feast. The halls are decked. The fire is fading as silence settles in the living room.
All is warm and cozy in the house while outside, a winter storm rages and the north wind howls as if demanding to get inside out of the cold.
The scene is set. Now is the perfect time for the others who live in the house to make their own arrangements to enjoy seasonal merriment and a festive feast. With the family nestled all snug in their beds, two mice get stirring.
Murgatroyd, a member of the elite M.I.N.U.T.E. (Mice International Network Unit Team Elite) tactical team and his young cousin, Archimedes, set off on a Christmas Eve raid on the refrigerator. This annual Yuletide Caper had been meticulously planned earlier by senior mice but, as the poet Robbie Burns once said, "Best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry."
Following the plan to the letter, Archimedes and Murgatroyd discover only fridge tracks. Horror of horrors, it's been stolen Join our intrepid adventurers on their quest to find the missing appliance and steal it back. It's an adventure that brings out the light of the holiday season.
Through it all, one little mouse will need to stand tall to save Christmas. With a little help from Santa, of course.
John Duffey's Bluegrass Life: Featuring The Country Gentlemen, Seldom Scene and Washington, D.C. with a Foreword by Tom Gray is the definitive biography of one of bluegrass music's most important artists of the genre. Through his work as a founding member of these two pioneering bands, John Duffey urbanized bluegrass and introduced it to a broad new audience. John's quotes from a four-hour, never-before-published 1984 interview are italicized throughout and provide the book's foundation.
The book begins with a profile of his father, John Humbird, Metropolitan Opera star and chronicles Duffey's earliest exposure to music, listening to opera on the radio with his dad. Childhood friend Bill Blackburn serves up memories of Duffey from the 2nd grade through high school and beyond involving bowling, baseball, and after-school drag racing adventures. The book reveals that it was hillbilly music on the radio that inspired Duffey to learn guitar and mandolin after a brief failed attempt at the banjo.
Accounts of Duffey's early musical career provide an overview of John's first bands, leading up to how The Country Gentlemen were formed following a horrific car accident. The Country Gentlemen's Bill Emerson, Charlie Waller, Eddie Adcock, and Tom Gray are profiled and interviewed.
For the first time, John's biological daughter, Ginger "Sam" Allred, speaks candidly about her relationship with both Duffey, and her stepfather, Pete Kuykendall. Duffey's friend Pete helped shape the Gent's first recordings, played with them, and founded Bluegrass Unlimited magazine.
More than 50 rare or never-before-seen photographs--some by Carl Fleischhauer--create a fascinating portrait of the complex, iconoclastic entertainer. Carl also contributed his memories of John.
Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley are featured and the authors make a rebuttal negative assertions that Ralph Stanley made about Duffey in his 2009 autobiography. "John Duffey could be as mean as a striped snake. He did all kinds of things that I thought were just plain wrong," Stanley claimed. This book sets the record straight.
Also included is the complete article Duffey wrote for Bluegrass Unlimited, "So, You Don't Like The Way We Do It (or Damn Your Tape Recorder). Duffey also discusses why he quit The Country Gentlemen, setting up the complete story of The Seldom Scene, as told by Duffey, John Starling, Ben Eldridge, Dave Auldridge, Mike Auldridge, Phil Rosenthal, and Tom Gray.
Scores of colorful stories for which Duffey was known are carefully collected here and facts are separated from urban legends. Examples include encounters with fellow musicians, presidents, and The Tonight Show orchestra, as well as tales about the Grand Ole Opry, the saga about John's stolen mandolin, his outrageous emcee antics, and more.
Duffey's 1995 UK interview by Tom Travis is included as is an Art Menius 1987 feature article on the "New" Seldom Scene for Bluegrass Unlimited. In the final chapter, "Fare Thee Well," friends and bandmates remember John's last days before his fatal heart attack. Washington Post music critic Richard Harrington granted permission to reprint the 1996 obituary he wrote for John, A Mandolin For All Seasons.
Gary Oelze, the owner of the Birchmere music club where the Scene became stars, shared his memories of John. Sam Bush, Jonathan Edwards, Pete Kennedy, Martha Adcock, Akira Otsuka, Dick Cerri, Emmylou Harris, Jimmy Gaudreau, Bryan Bowers, Peter "Dr. Banjo" Wernick, Tom Travis, Cliff Waldron are among the many voices that contribute informative and compelling interviews.
The book's narrative is supplemented with a 43-page Discography that provides track listings, recording dates, producers, composers, and musicians for every album.

The conventional understanding of Japanese wartime ideology has for years been summed up by just a few words: anti-modern, spiritualist, and irrational. Yet such a cut-and-dried picture is not at all reflective of the principles that guided national policy from 1931–1945. Challenging the status quo, Constructing East Asia examines how Japanese intellectuals, bureaucrats, and engineers used technology as a system of power and mobilization—what historian Aaron Moore terms a "technological imaginary"—to rally people in Japan and its expanding empire. By analyzing how these different actors defined technology in public discourse, national policies, and large-scale infrastructure projects, Moore reveals wartime elites as far more calculated in thought and action than previous scholarship allows. Moreover, Moore positions the wartime origins of technology deployment as an essential part of the country's national policy and identity, upending another predominant narrative—namely, that technology did not play a modernizing role in Japan until the "economic miracle" of the postwar years.
