Charles van Onselen, "The Cowboy Capitalist: John Hays Hammond, the American West, and the Jameson Raid in South Africa "
English | ISBN: 0813941318 | 2018 | 576 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
The Jameson Raid was a pivotal moment in the history of South Africa, linking events from the Anglo-Boer War to the declaration of the Union of South Africa in 1910. For more than a century, the failed revolution has been interpreted through the lens of British imperialism, with responsibility laid at the feet of Cecil Rhodes. Yet, the raid was less a serious attempt to overthrow a Boer government than a wild adventure with transnational roots in American filibustering.

After Monroe Edwards died in Sing Sing prison in 1847, penny dreadfuls memorialized him as the most celebrated American forger until the turn of the century. With a bizarre biography too complicated for easy history, his critical contributions to Texas settlement, revolution and annexation were inextricably mired in his activities as a slave smuggler and confidence man. Author Lora-Marie Bernard unravels the unbelievable story of one of the most notorious criminal adventurers ever to set foot on the soil of the Lone Star State.

Since the explosion of the indignados movement beginning in 2011, there has been a renewed interest in the concept of the "public sphere" in a Spanish context: how it relates to society and to political power, and how it has evolved over the centuries. The Configuration of the Spanish Public Sphere brings together contributions from leading scholars in Hispanic studies, across a wide range of disciplines, to investigate various aspects of these processes, offering a long-term, panoramic view that touches on one of the most urgent issues for contemporary European societies.

Gerd Tellenbach, "The Church in Western Europe from the Tenth to the Early Twelfth Century "
English | ISBN: 0521437113 | | 428 pages | PDF | 34 MB
This is a comprehensive survey of the history of the Church in Western Europe from c. 900 to c. 1125, which is considered both as a set of institutions and as a spiritual body. The first half concentrates on the structures of religious belief and practice in the period 900-1050; the second half concentrates on the revolutionary changes associated with the rise of the papacy to a new level of rulership. It shows how far one can talk of a "reform movement," and how the idea and ideal of papal monarchy became both the prisoner and the leader of those who sought for a renewal of Christian life. Tellenbach's survey is the work of a scholar who has been working in the field for over sixty years. It is characterized by the freshness and maturity of its judgments, which cut through many fashionable theories. No other work on this topic offers comparable range, depth and authority.

Peter Bodo Gawenda, "The Children's War: Germany 1939 - 1949"
English | ISBN: 1934812706 | 2010 | 352 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Author Peter Bodo Gawenda draws on his own first-hand experience as a child living in Germany during WWII to reflect on the impact the war had on children. Born in the Third Reich under Hitler, Gawenda, through a child's point of view, invites readers to share his family's heartbreak, joy, humor, and cunning during their days in Oberglogau before their desperate flight from Russian conquerors to the safety of Bavaria. Peter and his brothers saw the war not as military or national history, but as the adventure of everyday living. They experienced bombs dropping, soldiers occupying their home, and prisoners of war marching through the streets-all of which seemed like mere intrusions to their childhood existence. They not only survived, but thrived, during the ''Children's War.'' The strength of family ties carried the Gawenda boys through the War and shaped the author s perspective, making The Children's War an uplifting reading experience.

The Ch'orti' Maya Area: Past and Present By Brent E. Metz (editor), Cameron L. McNeil (editor), Kerry M. Hull (editor)
2009 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0813033314 | PDF | 3 MB
"An essential addition to the bookshelves of Mayanists and anyone interested in long-term processes of culture change."--Edward Schortman, Kenyon College"Spans time, space, and disciplines to present well-rounded and actively contested views of the southeastern Guatemala and the northern frontier areas of Honduras and El Salvador. The diversity of the authors and their themes brings something for every reader, including the Ch'orti'."--Judith M. Maxwell, Tulane UniversityThe Ch'orti' area--located in present-day Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador--was once the southernmost region of the ancient Maya world. Though thousands of years of tumultuous change have altered the face of the region drastically, many Ch'orti' have preserved their identity and maintained strong cultural ties to their past, and the region generally continues to practice traditions with Ch'orti' roots.The Ch'orti's' connection with the Maya past and modern-day struggles with poverty and cultural encroachment have made the once little-studied Ch'orti' an important subject of anthropological research. The Ch'orti' Maya Area presents a holistic, multidisciplinary and long-term look at these people, their culture, and the region itself. Highlighting research from leading scholars around the globe, this collection is an impressive exploration of the history of human habitation in the area from approximately 3,000 years ago to the present.
