 State of Bass: The Origins of Jungle/Drum & Bass by Martin James English | May 20, 2020 | ISBN: 191323102X | True EPUB | 300 pages | 3.4 MB  Michael J Braddick, "State Formation in Early Modern England, c.1550-1700" English | 2000 | ASIN: N/A | 460 pages | PDF | 1.8 MB This book examines the development of the English state during the long seventeenth century, emphasising the impersonal forces which shape the uses of political power, rather than the purposeful actions of individuals or groups. It is a study of state formation rather than of state building. The author's approach does not however rule out the possibility of discerning patterns in the development of the state, and a coherent account emerges which offers some alternative answers to relatively well-established questions. In particular, it is argued that the development of the state in this period was shaped in important ways by social interests - particularly those of class, gender and age. It is also argued that this period saw significant changes in the form and functioning of the state which were, in some sense, modernising. The book therefore offers a narrative of the development of the state in the aftermath of revisionism.

Joining the Air Transport Auxiliary in 1941 to help ferry aircraft to squadrons and bases throughout the country, she flew scores of different aircraft - fighters, bombers, and trainers - in all kinds of conditions and without radio it has to be remembered.She lost many friends, a fiance and a husband before 1945 but continued to fly. In 1962 she was awarded the Jean Lennox Bird Trophy for notable achievement in aviation and then - her greatest moment - in 1963 flew a Lightning through the sound barrier becoming 'the fastest woman in the world'. She was awarded the MBE in 1965.Her remarkable memoirs, lauded when first published in hardback, are now available in paperback. Brimming with adventure, anecdotes and famous names, the book makes compelling reading. It is the story of a very special woman who, now in her eighties, continues to live life to the full from her home in Surrey."
 Spiritual Masters for All Seasons (Anthony de Mello, Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, John O'Donohue) By Michael Ford, Anthony de Mello , Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, John O'Donohue 2009 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 1587680556 | PDF | 8 MB Every age needs figures of spiritual inspiration, but in times of recession and uncertainty they are essential in helping us to rise above despair and to search for God deep within ourselves. In this new book, Michael Ford invites four spiritual masters onto the same stage for the first time and shows how they speak, not only to our own times, but for all seasons. Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Anthony de Mello and John O'Donohue all died suddenly at the height of their fame as spiritual masters, but they continue to have immense followings. What was their secret and why do their legacies endure? Through unpublished interviews with some of the authors themselves, encounters with their friends, and reflections from readers who have been inspired by their writings, Michael Ford journeys across the United States and Europe to assess their place in the world of contemporary spirituality. He goes behind the scenes of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky to hear first hand from monks who were novices under Merton; visits Lambeth Palace in London to discover Merton's influence on the Archbishop of Canterbury; talks to people about how Nouwen, the proverbial wounded healer, helped them through depression because he had suffered himself; speaks to Jesuits who worked with de Mello in India and tries to find out how close the international storyteller came to Buddhism; and takes a walk with O'Donohue through landscapes in rural Ireland that feature in such books as Anam Cara and discusses the appeal of Celtic spirituality. Blending the spiritual with the journalistic, Michael Ford presents four unique writers as "Spiritual Masters for All Seasons." †  Spicy Recipes to Make with Beef: Everything Spicy and Beef!!! by Ava Archer English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08ZSFYMRC | 90 pages | EPUB | 3.50 Mb Not only do spices serve as condiments to meals, but they also infuse some unique and delicious flavors into any meal that they are added to.

Special Relationships: Britain, Ireland and the Northern Ireland Problem By Paul Arthur 2000 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0856406880 | PDF | 22 MB Although recent events are testing its durability, the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 has been hailed as a triumph of Anglo-Irish diplomacy. But why did it take 30 years of intense conflict to reach an understanding of the problem before a solution could be implemented? In this analysis, centuries-old misperceptions between the two islands are scrutinized and recent seismic shifts are examined, including the changing nature of Irish nationalism and the role of Irish-America in both shaping and resolving conflict. The study seeks to demonstrate how even the most intractable conflicts can be made more malleable.  Speak, Silence : In Search of W. G. Sebald by Carole Angier English | 2021 | ISBN: 1526634791 | 634 Pages | True PDF | 69 MB  James Joyce, "Spark Notes A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" English | ISBN: 1586633880 | 2002 | 72 pages | PDF | 3 MB Get your "A" in gear!  Richard L. Kiper, "Spare Not the Brave: The Special Activities Group in Korea" English | ISBN: 1606352032 | 2014 | 360 pages | EPUB | 4 MB The Special Activities Group (SAG) and its subordinate companies have received little attention from historians, despite being an elite combat unit and participating in highly classified and dangerous missions in Korea. Rarely receiving more attention than a footnote, their story usually begins and ends on the night of September 12, 1950, with an amphibious raid near Kunsan. Until their inactivation on March 31, 1951, SAG simply disappears from most Korean War histories. Spare Not the Brave corrects this omission. |
