The Early Years: Trail of Discovery (Third Edition)We all come into this world alone, and go out the same. Between coming and going, is life. The Early Years is a story about life and how a yearlong adventure defines the future for a young man named Dutch Clarke. Manipulated by the terms of his dead Grandfather's will, Dutch undertakes a one-year ordeal in the rugged wilderness of British Columbia in 1941. This is a classic story of one man's personal struggle to come of age against all odds. Dutch begins his trek accompanied by his horse Blaze, two mules, and a half-wild dog, Gus. As they pack into the remote Nascall Valley, he digs deep, learning courage, self-reliance, and how to survive. On this unforgiving trail, Dutch faces many obstacles, some life-threatening, some inspiring, and all a challenge to his character and spirit. This poignant story is written in a powerful narrative style that draws the reader ever deeper, propelling them from one adventure to the next. The Early Years is the story of redemption, love, birth, and death. A heart-felt story that relates the events that shape its characters' lives in an edge-of-your-seat survival saga. Reviews The story is lyrical and lush with its rich descriptions...the story-telling has a rhythm to it, soft and persuasive, humbling and invigorating...the story makes you want to read more.

We all make choices: good ones and bad ones, right ones and wrong ones. And once done we must atone for our mistakes. But what is the price of atonement? In turbulent 1963, two war buddies turn their sailboat from the Columbia River to the vast Pacific Ocean and start an assignment of photographing WWII war relics for an NBC documentary. Both men are survivors of Japanese prison camps and suffer from many long-forgotten scars of their captivity. Rich in history and fascinating characters, Voyage of Atonement sails the Pacific passage with the fury of a typhoon. On a remote Marquesas Island, these sea scavengers stumble across a mysterious entombed submarine with a cargo that will echo around the world.

These clashing interests quickly turn the discovery into an international tug-of-war with deadly consequences.

The Salvadoran Crucible

The Salvadoran Crucible

Brian D'Haeseleer

University Press of Kansas
2017
sidottu
In 1979, with El Salvador growing ever more unstable and ripe for revolution, the United States undertook a counterinsurgency intervention that over the following decade would become Washington’s largest nation-building effort since Vietnam. In 2003, policymakers looked to this “successful” undertaking as a model for US intervention in Iraq. In fact, Brian D’Haeseleer argues in The Salvadoran Crucible, the US counterinsurgency in El Salvador produced no more than a stalemate, and in the process inflicted tremendous suffering on Salvadorans for a limited amount of foreign policy gains. D’Haeseleer’s book is a deeply informed, dispassionate account of how the Salvadoran venture took shape, what it actually accomplished, and what lessons it holds.A historical analysis of the origins of US counterinsurgency policy provides context for understanding how precedents informed US intervention in El Salvador. What follows is a detailed, in-depth view of how the counterinsurgency unfolded—the nature, logic, and effectiveness of the policies, initiatives, and operations promoted by American strategists. D’Haeseleer’s account disputes the “success” narrative by showing that El Salvador’s achievements, mainly the spread of democracy, occurred as a result not of the American intervention but of the insurgents’ war against the state. Most significantly, The Salvadoran Crucible contends that the reforms enacted during the war failed to address the underlying causes of the conflict, which today continue to reverberate in El Salvador. The book thus suggests a reassessment of the history of American counterinsurgency, and a course-correction for the future.

The Victorian Dining Room

The Victorian Dining Room

Brian D. Coleman

Schiffer Publishing Ltd
2003
sidottu
Elegant dining rooms in the nineteenth century served an important role in the social discourse of the Victorian household. They tended to be "masculine" spaces and typically were filled with solid, heavily carved sideboards and tables, and draped with rich, velvet curtains. Sideboards "groaned" with the weight of opulent silver serving pieces, set off by the jewel-like tones of colored art glass vases and bowls. There could never be too many objects; after all, these were rooms that were meant to impress. So it was perfectly fine to have silver asparagus tongs or orange slicers, sitting beside the silver spoon warmer in the shape of a shell. This richly colorful book is a visual journey through the nineteenth century dining room. From the sideboard to the tea table, the serving pieces, silver, glass, and unusual Victorian oddities are presented. Through over 200 photographs, it becomes clear why the whimsical, beautiful, and sometimes bizarre products of that inventive and colorful time continue to astound and fascinate us. Also included is a facsimile of "How to Set the Table," a rare booklet from 1901, which will help the reader understand the variety and uses of the Victorian table setting. A Value Guide completes the work.
