In the year 9 CE the conquest of the Roman Empire suffered its greatest defeat in the forested hills of ancient Germania, known as the Osning. This defeat came at the hands of Arminius, a man born into the Cherusci tribe of Germania, but cowardly sold into Roman slavery by his father. Having spent his formative years gaining a Roman military education, Arminius rose through the ranks rapidly to become a lieutenant, and trusted advisor to the Roman Governor of Germania, Publius Quinctilius Varus. Although respected by the Roman Governor, and suspected as fiercely loyal, Arminius never had any intentions of letting Rome control his homeland. For years and years Romans had been spreading their empire throughout Europe, but Germania provided a constant struggle. Varus thought he could make strides where his predecessors had routinely failed, thanks in part to his Germanian born advisors at his side. But Arminius had been making plans of his own for Germania. Over 50 some odd tribes called the forests and cities of Germania home. It was Arminius' grand plan to unite a majority, if not all of the tribes one day, and declare Germania free of any and all Romans. The problem though was his Roman upbringing, and time spent away from the tribes. Warlords, chiefs, and former allies had become bitter towards one another, with trade and political accords deteriorating with each passing moon. To rally anti-Roman support and foster cooperation amongst the Germania tribes was a battle in and of itself, but Arminius was graced with helpful efforts from a few interesting individuals. This is their story. The story that picked up where so many had failed. The story of how in September of 9 CE, Arminius and his roughly assembled tribal allies made sure Rome knew what they were up against in the Osning; a resistance the likes of which Rome had never seen before.

Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy is a sweeping overview of Canadian-backed coups since 1950. It documents Canada’s contribution to the ouster of over 20 elected governments from Mohammad Mossadegh in Iran to Patrice Lumumba in Congo, Salvador Allende in Chile to Jean Bertrand Aristide in Haiti. As part of subverting democracy abroad, Ottawa has cut-off aid and imposed illegal sanctions as well as financed opposition civil society groups and allowed protesters to use its embassy as a staging point to topple a president. Canada has also organized a secret international gathering to discuss overthrowing a popular leader, decided a marginal opposition politician was the legitimate president, and employed its military to subvert democratically elected governments. While Canadian officials and media commentators often frame conflicts with geopolitical rivals as motivated by a belief in democracy, the authors debunk the notion that decision-makers in Ottawa are driven by promoting democracy abroad. Washington’ s role in subverting elected governments has been detailed in countless studies by scholars and observers from around the world. This is the first to challenge Canada.

One of the physical costs of our society's breakneck consumption, sprawl, and technological innovation and production is the increasing amount of terrain relegated to accommodating the resulting waste and wasted space. These "marginal landscapes" can be divided into four distinct categories: sinks; ruins or abandoned land; toxic or damaged land; and waste landscapes. Although Professor Engler discusses all four types, she is concerned mostly with waste landscapes - "landfills, recycling and waste transfer centers, and sewage treatment plants," as she addresses two distinct aspects of waste landscapes: 1) the historic and cultural context of waste, and 2) the professional planning practices and aesthetic concerns of those who deal with waste and its landscapes. Ultimately, Professor Engler seeks to change our ideas about waste places through her discussion of how landscape design can function within the scientific and technological parameters of safety and environmental concerns to make waste places more central to our thinking and perception. In so doing, she reviews the physical evolution of waste sites, and scrutinizes perceptions and representations of these landscapes, and grounds her ideas in critiques of what environmental designers and artists have done recently with waste places to change public perceptions. Designing America's Waste Landscapes is a pioneering and original work that will appeal to professional planners and landscape designers, and students and scholars in landscape design and planning, environmental studies, urban studies, cultural geography, and even the history of technology.

Join a team of geologists as they use clear prose, concise illustrations, and dramatic full-color photographs to tell the deep-time stories of 26 geologic sites, including four giants of the national park system: Mesa Verde National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado National Monument, and Dinosaur National Monument. Fossil collectors, rockhounds, hot potters, coal miners, and adventurers of all ages can use this guide to better understand the geology underfoot throughout Colorado's beautiful Western Slope.

"I find it so easy to forget / that I'm just a girl who is expected / to live / without thoughts." Opposing slavery in Cuba in the nineteenth century was dangerous. The most daring abolitionists were poets who veiled their work in metaphor. Of these, the boldest was Gertrudis G mez de Avellaneda, nicknamed Tula. In passionate, accessible verses of her own, Engle evokes the voice of this book-loving feminist and abolitionist who bravely resisted an arranged marriage at the age of fourteen, and was ultimately courageous enough to fight against injustice. Historical notes, excerpts, and source notes round out this exceptional tribute.
