During the 16th century, a Frenchman named Michel de Nostredame wrote a series of one thousand four-lined verses called quatrains. These quatrains were marketed as predictions about the future. Over the four hundred and fifty years or so since Nostradamus's death, the belief in his powers of prophecy has grown. There are now millions of people worldwide who have an interest in this man as a prophet and what he foretold would come to pass. Says the author, "This book re-examines the writings of Nostradamus. It challenges long-held beliefs and concludes that he was not able to see the future. This is achieved by looking at the earliest surviving copy of these verses and understanding what they relate to in reality. The book shows that Nostradamus used contemporary people and events as a major source of his quatrains. In addition to this, he used material found in a wide variety of works from the ancient world, the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages. His other prominent source was his knowledge of occultism. The book attempts to show Nostradamus's writings in their proper historical context by giving an explanation, in detail, for each of remaining 942 quatrains."Nostradamus: Killing the Myth offers a provocative look at this enigma of the Renaissance. First-time author Mark Harrison grew up near York, England. He is currently working in Germany for a private school teaching business English for corporate clients. He is also an English oral examiner for Cambridge University. His second book is in the works. Publisher's Website: http://sbpra.com/MarkHarrison

Let's talk about the Big Dogs When hearing the expression, Big Dogs, these are the major players (or people, such as managers, bosses, leaders, etc.) and institutions - the movers and shakers - and not much happens unless the Big Dogs bark and make things happen. That's why I've written a book called "Barking With The Big Dogs". In order to Bark With The Big Dogs, we must play the game by their rules. Unfortunately, the rules aren't always in black and white. In reality though, the games are very simple and I'll point this out repeatedly in my book. For now though, let's understand the game that everyone plays. One of the biggest games in life that everyone must participate in is the game of money. However, do we really consider our finances as a game? Probably we should. Money comes in and money goes out. Common expressions are "making money" and "losing money". Therefore, somebody wins and somebody loses from time to time. That's why "Barking With The Big Dogs" shows the financial strategies the Big Dogs use everyday in any market. Now, you can see and use those same strategies too. As a result of years of experience, research and education, I've come up with a comprehensive book designed to teach people how to play and potentially win big against the mega-machines in the financial world - in particular - the mortgage and real estate business. Targeting the topics of personal finance and a home are simple; everyone needs a place to live and a house is most often the largest financial expenditure many people will make. "Barking With The Big Dogs" is not typical. As inspiration from what we are commonly taught and told, I set out to delve deeper into the working of the banking institutions; after all, money is something touches our every day lives - no way around it. What I've come up with is behind the scenes, inner workings of financial institutions, and have put it into one easy to follow, comprehensive book that definitely levels the playing field against the mega-machines. However, I'm not here to suggest that everyone should borrow money, but most people cannot afford to buy a home without going to the bank. But what about those who do not want to go to the bank or borrow money? Yes, something very important exists for the debt-free homeowners as well. Topics exist that affect the financial side for everyone regardless of ever stepping into a bank other than to make a deposit. Now you too can turn the tides, so as to empower yourself to become a successful financial machine when others are simply following the crowd. (By the way, you can use these very same concepts in areas other than just a home. Property can be residential or commericial as we know, but the ideas relate not only to personal finance, but business well. As a matter of fact, once you have the basics down, you can apply them to many topics. That's the beauty of Barking With The Big Dogs.)

Medicine in an age of Commerce and Empire explores the impact of commercial and imperial expansion on British medicine from the late seventeenth century to the early nineteenth century. Concentrating largely (though not exclusively) on India and the West Indies, it shows how medical practitioners in the colonies began to develop an empirical and experimental approach to medicine that was in many respects in advance of that in Britain. By the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, colonial ideas and practices had also begun to transform medicine in Britain. Medical practitioners in the Army, Navy, and East India Company used their knowledge of fevers and other common diseases to establish themselves at the centre of British medicine, speaking to growing concerns about supposedly new diseases at home and fears about the invasion of exotic maladies. Some found employment in new institutions such as fever hospitals, while others used connections in the armed forces to acquire influence and status at home. Many also made their voice heard through religious networks such as circles of dissenting physicians and natural philosophers.

Medicine and Victory is the first comprehensive account of British military medicine in the Second World War since the publication of the official history in the early 1950s. Drawing on a wide range of official and non-official sources, the book examines medical work in all the main theatres of the war, from the front line to the base hospital. All aspects of medical work are covered, including the prevention of disease, and the disposal and treatment of casualties. Harrison argues that the medical services played a major role in the Allied victory enabling the British Army to keep a higher proportion of troops in the field than its opponents. Assuming no previous knowledge of either medical or military history, Medicine and Victory provides an accessible introduction to a vitally important, yet too often neglected aspect of the Second World War.
