George Washington's Masonic Correspondence as Found Among the Washington Papers in the Library of Congress allows for an insight of the great esteem in which the first President held Freemasonry. Since his early days, Washington had been an honored member of the fraternity, formerly established in England in 1717. This work groups the material together in chronological order, and shows the surroundings and conditions under which the correspondence was made.

Labor unions and courts have rarely been allies. From their earliest efforts to organize, unions have been confronted with hostile judges and antiunion doctrines. In this book, Julius G. Getman argues that while the role of the Supreme Court has become more central in shaping labor law, its opinions betray a profound ignorance of labor relations along with a persisting bias against unions.

A Christmas anthology from legendary historian and Christmas Cracker compiler John Julius Norwich. This year go carol singing in the Cotswolds with Laurie Lee or attend church with a grumpy Samuel Pepys. Make plum puddings for bemused French villagers with Elizabeth David; go present shopping with Virginia Woolf, or eat far too much with Agatha Christie. Celebrate Christmas at Chatsworth, in the workhouse or marooned in the ice with Shackleton....

William Shakespeare may have been the greatest playwright in the English language, but how does he measure up as a historian? In this brilliant comparison between the events and characters in Shakespeare's history plays and the actual events that inspired them, acclaimed historian John Julius Norwich examines the nine works that together amount to an epic masterpiece on England's most fascinating period.

A 10-year-old American boy named Jack, who loves airplanes and knows a great deal about them, finds himself in a world that has just emerged from World War II. Jack's favorite military plane is the Navy Corsair. Since the need for warplanes no longer existed, they were taken by flatbed railcars to a salvage depot called a boneyard where the planes were stacked one upon the other, resulting in a mountain of aluminum. Those aircrafts would eventually be recycled. A boneyard was conveniently located adjacent to an air base near Jack's home.

As did his father before him, Pierce Butler treats his plantation slaves like family. But massive gambling debts force him to sell 429 “family” members. When the auction begins, torrential rain falls - not stopping until the final slave is sold the next day. The ominous rainfall prompts these words: “This ain’t rain. This is God’s tears.” Based on the largest slave auction in U.S. history, this poignant montage is the fictionalized account of that 1859 Georgia tragedy.

Contained here is Julius Caesar's own account of his military adventures in Gaul at the head of the Roman army, uniquely presented in Caesar's first-person perspective (rather than as a third-person narrative as in the original Latin). Included are seven sections ("books") of the Gallic War, each encompassing one year of Caesar's battles and intrigues; though there is an eighth book, it is generally accepted to have been written by another general, shortly after Caesar's death in 44 BCE.

The Civil War is Julius Caesar’s personal account of his war with Pompey the Great - the war that destroyed the five-hundred-year-old Roman Republic. Caesar the victor became Caesar the dictator. In three short books, Caesar describes how, in order to defend his honor and the freedom of both himself and the Roman people, he marched on Rome and defeated the forces of Pompey and the Senate in Italy, Spain, and Greece.

Julius Caesar wrote his exciting Commentaries during some of the most grueling campaigns ever undertaken by a Roman army. The Gallic Wars and The Civil Wars constitute the greatest series of military dispatches ever written. As literature, they are representative of the finest expressions of Latin prose in its "golden" age, a benchmark of elegant style and masculine brevity imitated by young schoolboys for centuries.

White Americans have long been comfortable in the assumption that they are the cultural norm. Now that notion is being challenged, as white people wrestle with what it means to be part of a fast-changing, truly multicultural nation. Facing chronic economic insecurity, a popular culture that reflects the nation’s diverse cultural reality, a future in which they will no longer constitute the majority of the population, and with a Black president in the White House, whites are growing anxious.

Leaping headlong into a portal to the land of the dead. What could go wrong? To rescue his friends and new army from the overwhelming forces of the Duke of twin plains, Seth takes himself and the Duke through a portal to the land of the dead. He expected bad, but he didn't expect broken. Not the place he'd been told of in bedtime stories, a place of souls crossing over to judgment.

Seth and Seraphina, now closer than ever, realize to leave the Land of the Dead, they must travel on further to the realm of judgement. Unknown to Seth that, by restoring the sun, he had angered the first of all god-like beings, one of pure fear. It has been planning it’s escape for eons, and his coming is the trigger that could ruin or redeem it all. He travels to judgement to undertake the northern trials and prove he is worth returning to the world of the living,

A witty history of 2000 years of French history from legendary popular historian John Julius Norwich I can still feel, as if it were yesterday, the excitement of my first Channel crossing (as a child of nearly 7) in September 1936; the regiment of porters, smelling asphyxiatingly of garlic in...

"Zäpfel Kern" ist das waschechte Kind einer Tanne, das augenscheinlich nur aus einem Stück Holz besteht, aber ein Schnitzerei-Künstler kreiert daraus ein lebendiges Wesen - einen Jungen mit Frechheit und Unverschämtheit ohnegleichen. Dreist schlägt dieses Fleisch gewordene Kasperle alle Ratschläge in den Wind und stürzt sich in sein abenteuerliches Leben. Dabei begegnen ihm gemeine Gauner, kuriose Gestalten und eine beschützende Fee. Zäpfel bereist brutale Länder mit grausamen Gesetzen und erlebt furiose Wunder - eins exotischer und betörender als das andere.

Ein Wahrheitsmärchen der besonderen Art - stopp - warum Wahrheitsmärchen? Weil der ursprüngliche Erzähler dieser Geschichte ein Priester war und der Wahrheit muss man glauben - egal wie dumm man ist. Der menschenfressende Riese "Rumbo" stellt mehr oder weniger freiwillig den Erfüllungsgehilfen "Hans Wurst" ein, welcher als galanter Tunichgut nicht mal davor zurückschreckt, die Großmutter des Teufels für seine genialen Pläne zu benutzen. Geht seine Strategie auf?

Für den Bauernjungen Leberecht gibt es nur eine Möglichkeit der Existenz als Knecht zu entgehen: Das Theologie-Studium. Anstatt auf sein Herz zu hören und für seine Wünsche zu kämpfen lässt er seine Familie und seinen Förderer über sein Schicksal entscheiden und schlägt schweren Herzens den Weg der Wahrheit ein, welcher aus ihm einen verbitterten, hartherzigen und trostlosen Menschen werden lässt. Eine tragisch-komische Erzählung.
