For fans of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Miranda July comes a whip-smart, irresistible novel about a college senior who has 48 hours to sell her recently deceased mother's surprise stash of rare pills, or suffer the consequences.  Arvy Keening is just trying to get through the week. Tantalizingly close to leaving her college years at Westheimer University behind, all she has to do is pass her finals, pack up her life, and ship off to San Francisco for a prestigious Big Pharma internship. The problem? Arvy just found 200 hits of Molly in her dead mother’s closet. And when two drug dealers come to collect what they are owed, they reveal that the pills are not Molly, but Mona—a rare pharmaceutical that induces intense orgasms. The dealers give Arvy an ultimatum: Sell 200 Monas in 48 hours or die.   To aid in her seemingly impossible quest, Arvy recruits Wolf, Westheimer's resident drug dealer who also happens to be infuriatingly charming and distractingly sexy. In a race against the clock, Arvy and Wolf barrel through their college town, leaving a series of erotic shenanigans in their wake; appealing to horny co-eds, lonely barflies, and a mysterious sorority whose sisters have their own ideas for Mona’s potential uses. But if Mona has a knack for unleashing visceral reactions in the body, what will it unlock in Arvy, who has been repressing grief over her mother’s death for weeks?   Unashamedly brash, bold, and blistering, 200 Monas is a truly one-of-a-kind read, a playful and honest examination of sexuality and grief, and a sharp, searing love letter on how to release all that’s inside you.

The second edition of this book presents a new and expanded exploration of the unusually varied coinage and currency of the Great Rebellion of 1642-1660, a pivotal period in British history. It builds on further research available since its original publication in 1990, notably a fresh appraisal of the West Country mints of Sir Richard Vyvyan and new insights into the numerous hoards of the time. Along the way, we meet more of the people who willingly or unwillingly did business with the wartime mints.Following a description of the currency in circulation in 1642 and a survey of the organisation of royalist minting during the war, the royalist mint-franchises are considered in turn. Foreign coinage, siege issues and the emergency coinages of Ireland are all described; and the story of the Tower Mint under Parliament is followed through the Interregnum of 1649-60 to the Restoration of Charles II. Minting methods at a time of transition from manual to mechanised production form an important subsidiary theme.Edward Besly was Numismatist at the National Museum of Wales (Amgueddfa Cymru) from 1986-2018, having previously worked at the British Museum. He is best known for his studies of Romano-British coin hoards and of the coinages of the time of Charles I (1625-49). In 2003 he was awarded the John Sanford Saltus Medal of the British Numismatic Society. Autorid: Edward Besly

"This book completes the series of studies of the 'British Revolution of the Three Kingdoms of England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland' and covers the period from the fall of the 'failed state' and Protectorate in 1657 to the restoration of the Stuart monarchy"-- This book completes the series of studies of the 'British Revolution of the Three Kingdoms of England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland' and covers the period from the fall of the 'failed state' and Protectorate in 1657 to the restoration of the Stuart monarchy. This book completes the series of studies of the 'British Revolution of the Three Kingdoms of England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland' and covers the period from the fall of the 'failed state' and Protectorate in 1657 to the restoration of the Stuart monarchy and Charles II in 1660, examines the Restoration settlement in depth and a high point in Stuart pro-French and Catholic policy - contrary to the 1660 Restoration understanding when Charles II vowed reluctance 'go on {his} travels again' and follows the Stuart Restoration and pro-French - and pro-Catholic foreign policy to 1670. Cromwell's death had signaled the end of an overarching figure who held the failing state together and began England's nascent 'great power' foreign and 'colonial' policy. It covers Richard Cromwell's emergence and as a figure far from the 'Tumbledown Dick' of popular legend. Also, the remarkable role of General George Monck as the genial military man guiding the failing and chaotic state to Restoration and stability. Monck underpinned the gentry and merchant class as the root of state and society which outlived civil wars, military dictatorship, political chaos and Stuart monarchical rule.

Zoning codes have become the most significant regulatory power of local government, determining how citizens experience their cities. Yet zoning remains invisible. In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin reveals the impact of zoningfor good and illin cities across the US, from Hartford to Baltimore and Las Vegas to Chicago. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritised cars over people and enabled great ecological harm. As Bronin argues, once we recognise the power of zoning, we can harness it to instead create walkable and vibrant communities, resist the monotonous effects of suburban sprawl, integrate design elements that inspire delight and ensure that everyone has access to affordable housing, public transportation and healthy food. Key to the City demystifies the invisible force shaping our communities and puts forward a practical and energising vision for how we can reimagine them. Autorid: Sara C. Bronin

This book gets behind the scenes of Trusted Guardians, the monarch's personal bodyguards, and explores the individuals that make up this formidable unified regiment in training and recreation, as well as in ceremonial splendour.A celebration of British heritage, Trusted Guardians are the monarch’s personal bodyguards and have been so since 1660. They hold an iconic position in British society as a keeper of heritage and ceremony, recognised globally as the benchmark of British pageantry and national identity. In public ceremonies the women and men of the regiment come across as one military unit, and their uniforms blend all of the individuals into one ceremonial and fighting unit. This book gets behind the scenes and explores the individuals that make up this formidable unified regiment in training and recreation, as well as in ceremonial splendour. The photography has been captured over the course of almost two years and describes the timelessness of regimental life, and particular the companionship of Horse and Soldier.

This book explores and compares the roles, mentalities, and destinies of elitist and working-class women in Europes most dramatic revolutions: Englands Puritan Revolution of 1640-1660, Frances 1789 Revolution, and Russias 1917 Revolution. By providing one of the most detailed analyses to date of how feminist historians, sociologists, and specialists theorize gender, sexuality, and patriarchy the author draws connections to current debate over the causation of sociopolitical revolutions; and how such scholars speculate about the long-term implications of such revolutions for women in the USA and in other countries. This book briefly outlines the stage-by-stage progression of events in the English, French, and Russian Revolutions, thus enabling the general reader to contextualize more easily its discussion of womens revolutionary experiences in those countries. This book reappraises the relative importance ascribable to gendered/cultural and to statist/geopolitical factors through the disastrous revolutionary careers of three consort queens: i.e., Henrietta Maria of England, Marie-Antoinette of France, and Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia. by contrasting their political failings with the political acumen of three earlier regnant queens in these three countries: i.e., Elizabeth I, Cathérine de Médicis, and Catherine II (the Great.) Finally, this book demonstrates how women of humble social station used these unheard-of revolutionary situations either to express their grievances and voice their social aspirations or, on the other hand, to reaffirm their long-held allegiance to traditional principles, customs, and religion. It concludes by discussing race/ethnicity and statism as challenging issues that need to be confronted in any current discussion of womens revolutionary experiences. Autorid: Bailey Stone

This book charts the raising, equipping, maintenance and deployment of the various militia and auxiliary cavalry formations established in and around the City of London during the English Civil War by Parliament. Throughout the English Civil War numerous militia and auxiliary cavalry formations were raised at the behest of Parliament in and around the City of London, which have been collectively called the City Horse. Using an extensive array of primary sources this book describes in detail the raising, equipping, maintenance and deployment of these units and analyses how effective they were in the Parliamentary war effort. The book follows the various units from their baptism of fire at Winchester in 1642, the main campaigns of 1643 & 1644, through to their peripheral role in the Parliamentary victory in 1645/46. It then describes the important role they played during the heady summer of 1647 as the New Model Army marched on the nation’s capital to seek redress, as well as the part they played in the political turmoil in London during the Second Civil War in 1648. It further describes their reorganization under the Commonwealth, their participation at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, how some of the senior officers sought to prolong the English Republic and finally, how the City Horse welcomed the entry of Charles II into London in 1660. Uniquely amongst the units raised during the wars, the City Horse served throughout the conflict.The book demonstrates clearly how political imperatives created and molded this body of troops and how it was used as a pawn in the greater game of chess that was the English Revolution. It is a story of zealous political and religious individuals, of greed, avarice, treachery and naked ambition. It is a story of individuals, brought together by the political maelstrom of their times and how they endeavored to do what they considered to be right. The book recounts bravery and also not a small amount of cowardice.Finally, the book is a testimony to those Londoner’s who served, and to those who died, in the City Horse, a military formation until now that has been sadly neglected by military historians.

Since March 2014 a programme of archaeological excavation, geophysical survey and finds assessments has been undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology (CA) and its specialist sub-contractors on the site of the London wreck. The London was an English second-rate ship-of-the-line built at Chatham in 1656 during the Interregnum. The London served in both the Cromwellian and Restoration navies, saw action during the Anglo-Spanish War in 1657 and participated in the English show of strength during the Battle of the Sound. At the time of the Restoration in 1660 the ship formed part of the fleet that brought the future King Charles II back from exile in the Netherlands. The London sank in the Thames Estuary in 1665 while preparing for the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The ship was blown apart by an explosion, probably of its gunpowder magazine, and, as mentioned in Samuel Pepys diary entry of 8 March 1665 only 24 personnel survived. This volume presents a brief summary of the excavations and the results of the assessments of the recovered finds, subsequent analyses and the conservation of the materials. It considers the archaeological, historical and documentary evidence collectively in its local, regional and national context. The remarkable results of the conservation of the broad range and variety of recovered artefacts and material types have presented an ideal opportunity to contribute to the public understanding of the principles, practices and achievements of conservation science through this volume and online resources.

The experience of war is never confined to those who participate militarily: the consequences of warfare ripple out across their immediate families and communities, and the lives of countless civilians the combatants will never meet. The experience of war is never confined to those who participate militarily: the consequences of warfare ripple out across their immediate families and communities, and the lives of countless civilians the combatants will never meet. The wives and children of soldiers could become destitute in the absence of their menfolk, and in the seventeenth century many sought refuge far from their homes or followed the army on its travels. Feeding and clothing an army, and supplying it with ammunition and other materiel, was a critical business; many women, and also many civilian men, provided services to the army baggage train and effectively became a critical part of its supply chain. The speakers at Helion’s third English Civil War conference focussed on a variety of aspects relating to both the personal experiences of warfare and the herculean efforts required to keep a conflict going. Keynote speaker Professor Peter Gaunt, focusing on the English Civil Wars of the 1640s, explores what is arguably the most gruelling and uncertain aspect of warfare, besides battle itself: the necessity of travel, often for great distances and to unfamiliar or even hostile places. Using case studies focusing on different parts of the country, Professor Gaunt draws upon surviving letters and printed or archival first person accounts to recount and analyse the experience of moving around during the wars, whether to pursue their objectives or to flee from their effects. The Lostwithiel campaign in Cornwall in 1644 took both King Charles’s and the Parliament’s armies on a lengthy trek to the furthest extent of England: Simon Marsh examines the disastrous consequences of the campaign on the Earl of Essex’s army, nearly destroyed as a fighting force, and yet how within two months it was able to recover and fight with distinction against the King’s forces at the Second Battle of Newbury. Mr Marsh also examines how effective the Parliamentarian supply system had become by 1644; logistics are critical to the survival of any army or any body of people in a defensive situation, and Rachael Abbiss takes us forward to the Indian War of 1688, to remind us that whilst the British Isles only underwent short periods of internal warfare, its colonies in North America permanently required armed defence and the vast cross-ocean administration that entailed. Given the comparatively small European populations in the colonies at the time, and the continual threat from both hostile locals and European colonial rivals such as France, warfare was no distant event but a daily issue of personal survival; back in England, however, the necessity of soldiering for your country was perhaps not felt as keenly, and many men avoided it: Stephen Ede-Borrett’s paper examines deserters’ notices in the London Gazette in the 1660s–1690s, published by the authorities in an attempt to retrieve missing recruits. These advertisements give us an extraordinary amount of information about the men who made up the rank and file of the British Army at the time. Where men did see out their service, however, their families had to decide whether to follow the army or remain at home: using archival evidence, Laurence Spring looks at the experience of soldiers’ wives in Britain and Europe during the first half of the seventeenth century, both those who stayed, and those who took to the road. War affected great households as much as the small: Basing House, a substantial house belonging to the Royalist Marquess of Winchester, was extensively besieged and eventually destroyed. Alan Turton, who lives adjacent to the house’s remains, brings together a range of sources including recent archaeological investigations, to offer a fresh picture of wartime events at this magnificent but doomed location. While Basing’s defenders fought to save it, the London authorities encircled the City and suburbs with fortifications: these works, and many others in England and abroad, were recorded in details for posterity thanks to the extraordinary talent of occasional London resident Wenceslaus Hollar. David Flintham explores the life and works of this prodigious Czech sketcher and engraver. Defending entire regions was not as simple as building walls, however, and Jon Day takes us to Ireland with an account of how the lawyer,politician and Parliamentarian soldier Michael Jones ruthlessly helped put down the remnants of the Royalist cause in Ireland in 1647–1649 Autorid: Serena Jones

A newly edited selection from the most famous, colorful, and vivid diarist in the English language--in the most accessible, uncensored, and clearly annotated edition available.Though he rose to become the most powerful administrator in King Charles II's navy, when Samuel Pepys began writing his secret journal in 1660 he was just a young clerk living in London. Over the next nine years, he became eyewitness to some of the most significant events in seventeenth-century English history, among them, the Restoration, the Great Plague of London in 1665, and the Great Fire of London in 1666. Pepys's diary gives vivid descriptions of spectacular events, but much of the richness of the work lies in the details it provides about the minor dramas of daily life. While Pepys was keen to hear the king's views, he was also always ready to talk with a soldier, a housekeeper, or a child rag-picker. He records with searing frankness his tumultuous personal life, including his marriage, infidelities, ambitions, and power schemes. He recounts with relish all the latest scandals, and reflects his voracious delight in music, food, books, scientific discoveries, and fashion. The result is a lively, often astonishing diary and an unrivaled account of life in seventeenth-century London.

"In Elfhame, bargains are currency, lies are weapons, and your heart is your greatest weakness. Reeling from Bastian's revelations, Kat wakes from her dire illness wanting nothing more than to sever all ties with the man who betrayed her. But fate has a different plan--she's trapped in Elfhame, the fae realm where nothing is as it seems. And worse, she's trapped with him, reliant on his touch to stave off a poison that threatens her very life. Thrust into the centre of Dusk and Dawn courts, they must balance the two in order to maintain a delicate peace. But in a world where alliances are forged and shattered in a heartbeat, danger looms. A mysterious group infiltrates the city and spies whisper of an ancient artefact powerful enough to destroy an entire court. As enemies close in from all sides and attacks on the city escalate, Kat and Bastian must unearth deadly secrets and their own complicated feelings to survive--or risk a war to destroy faekind itself"--

On the eve of World War II, Lady Lupin Hastings, the young, totally scatterbrained but kindly wife to Andrew Hastings, the vicar of Glanville, is off for a bit of a rest cure at a country hotel in Kent, owned and run by her old friend Diana Turner, while she recovers from a bout of influenza. However, no sooner has she arrived when a series of petty thefts - and perhaps even an attempted murder?- requires that she assume her other persona: that of detective. In spite of her best efforts, theft follows theft, and the guests in the hotel all seem to take their eccentricities to new levels. The situation gets even worse when a guest's car nearly crashes after the steering is deliberately tampered with. Is it attempted murder? And just who set fire to Orchard house? It could be any one of the guests, a very odd assortment who spend most of the time bickering among themselves. As usual, Lady Lupin gets everything wrong yet somehow stumbles to the truth as she runs the hotel in Diana's absence and tries to conceal her highborn origins from a socialist garage man she befriends. This is the third Joan Coggin book that Galileo has reissued. The first two: Who Killed the Curate and Dancing with Death have proved that the author has a substantial new following- all of whom will be very eager to read this totally entertaining mystery, first published in 1946.

The first full biography of Alfred Thayer Mahan in nearly fifty years explores how his groundbreaking ideas on sea power reshaped naval strategy and global politics—and why they still matter today. Drawing on rich archival material, David A. Smith brings to life the man whose intellect helped chart the course of modern maritime history. Alfred Thayer Mahan’s theories of sea power transformed the strategic thinking of his time and continue to influence global affairs today. This is the definitive biography of the man whose writings reshaped naval doctrine and engendered a new understanding of international power. Author David A. Smith examines in full Mahan’s intellectual development, professional path, and the broad consequences of his work for both the United States and the wider world. Chapters focus on the major stages of Mahan’s life and thought: his early years as the son of a West Point professor, his formative experience at the U.S. Naval Academy, and his service during the Civil War, where he began to reflect on the operational and strategic dimensions of naval conflict. His time at the Naval War College marks a turning point where, distanced from command and engaged in study, he produced The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660–1783—a work that would revolutionize how nations conceived of maritime power and its role in national strength. Smith places Mahan’s theories in the context of the industrial and imperial expansions of the late nineteenth century and tracks the reception of his ideas in Europe, Japan, and beyond. Mahan emerges here not simply as a theorist, but as a participant in the great debates of his age—about commerce, strategy, and the nature of national power. Drawing on personal correspondence, official records, and Mahan’s own prolific writings, this biography also addresses the paradoxes of his character. He was an introvert in a profession that prized command, a strategist more at ease with books than with crews. His career unfolded in peacetime posts and classroom lectures rather than combat, yet his influence reached admirals, kings, and presidents. Above all, Mahan was a thinker whose work shaped modern navalism and whose legacy continues to inform discussions of military force and international order. This biography is a portrait of a mind that saw the ocean not as backdrop, but as the main arena in which nations rise and fall.

What is most remarkable about the assortment of discipline programs on the market today is the number of fundamental assumptions they seem to share. Some may advocate the use of carrots rather than sticks; some may refer to punishments as "logical consequences." But virtually all take for granted that the teacher must be in control of the classroom, and that what we need are strategies to get students to comply with the adult's expectations.Alfie Kohn challenged these widely accepted premises, and with them the very idea of classroom "management," when the original edition of Beyond Discipline was published in 1996. Since then, his path-breaking book has invited hundreds of thousands of educators to question the assumption that problems in the classroom are always the fault of students who don't do what they're told; instead, it may be necessary to reconsider what it is that they've been told to do—or to learn. Kohn shows how a fundamentally cynical view of children underlies the belief that we must tell them exactly how we expect them to behave and then offer "positive reinforcement" when they obey.Just as memorizing someone else's right answers fails to promote students' intellectual development, so does complying with someone else's expectations for how to act fail to help students develop socially or morally. Kohn contrasts the idea of discipline, in which things are done to students to control their behavior, with an approach in which we work with students to create caring communities where decisions are made together.Beyond Discipline has earned the status of an education classic, a vital alternative to all the traditional manuals that consist of techniques for imposing control. For this 10th anniversary edition, Kohn adds a new afterword that expands on the book's central themes and responds to questions from readers. Packed with stories from real classrooms around the country, seasoned with humor and grounded in a vision as practical as it is optimistic, Beyond Discipline shows how students are most likely to flourish in schools that have moved toward collaborative problem solving—and beyond discipline.

The author is a direct descendent of the adventurous Baron Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin (immortalized by Longfellow) and Pidianiske, daughter of Penobscot Chief Madockawando. Feted as a veteran of the liberation of Europe, Charles Shay unexpectedly finds himself in the footsteps of his French ancestry, being received in Basque villages, in the region of Castine (184 illustrations). "Charles Norman Shay is a Penobscot Indian elder at Indian Island, Maine. Born in 1924, he enjoyed his childhood years living on this small island in the Penobscot River, opposite Old Town. He is the grandson of the author of The Life and Traditions of the Red Man (1893), Joseph Nicolar, and proud of his heritage. Reviewing his own long life, he decided to share his personal story as a result of a pilgrimage he made to Omaha Beach in 2007, more than sixty years after he waded ashore as a nineteen-year-old combat medic in a 1st Division assault platoon in the first wave of D-Day. He has received much recognition for his contribution to the war effort, including the Legion of Honor from the French president. In this memoir, the author offers us a window into his personal life so full of unexpected twists and turns that took him across the globe." -Dr. Harald E.L. Prins, University Distinguished Prof. of Anthropology, Kansas State University

Two Treatises of Government is a work of political philosophy published anonymously in 1689 by John Locke. The First Treatise attacks patriarchalism in the form of sentence-by-sentence refutation of Robert Filmer's Patriarcha, while the Second Treatise outlines Locke's ideas for a more civilized society based on natural rights and contract theory. The book is a key foundational text in the theory of Liberalism. This publication contrasts former political works by Locke himself. In Two Tracts on Government, written in 1660, Locke defends a very conservative position; however, Locke never published it. In 1669, Locke co-authored the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina, which endorses aristocracy, slavery and serfdom. Some dispute the extent to which the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina portray Locke's own philosophy, vs. that of the Lord proprietors of the colony; the document was a legal document written for and signed and sealed by the eight Lord proprietors to whom Charles II had granted the colony. In this context, Locke was only a paid secretary, writing it much as a lawyer writes a will. Two Treatises was first published anonymously in December 1689 (following printing conventions of the time, its title page was marked 1690). Locke was dissatisfied with the numerous errors and complained to the publisher. For the rest of his life, he was intent on republishing the Two Treatises in a form that better reflected its intended meaning. Peter Laslett, one of the foremost Locke scholars, has suggested that Locke held the printers to a higher "standard of perfection" than the technology of the time would permit. Be that as it may, the first edition was indeed replete with errors. The second edition was even worse, in addition to being printed on cheap paper and sold to the poor. The third edition was much improved, but still deemed unsatisfactory by Locke. He manually corrected the third edition by hand and entrusted the publication of the fourth to his friends, as he died before it could be brought out. Two Treatises is prefaced with Locke announcing what he aims to achieve, also mentioning that more than half of his original draft, occupying a space between the First and Second Treatises, has been irretrievably lost.[9] Peter Laslett maintains that, while Locke may have added or altered some portions in 1689, he did not make any revisions to accommodate for the missing section; he argues, for example, that the end of the First Treatise breaks off in mid-sentence

When educated men in the seventeenth century thought about the Earth on which they stood, they might ask themselves the following questions. When was the world created? Why? How? Out of what? Where did people come from? Do we all share the same origin? How were other living things generated? Can species vary at all? What are fossils? The common answers to these questions were rooted in the Bible. The world was made around the year 4000 BC by the direct command of God; people all come from Adam and Eve; species do not vary and fossils are inorganic in origin. Most people assumed that the teachings of theology and of natural philosophy (what we would later term «science») were both continuous and harmonious. But there were radical new answers to these questions of origin too. This is the story of how the emerging discipline of experimental philosophy reacted to the opening chapters of the book of Genesis to interpret the physical origin, present status, and final destination of the Earth. The Royal Society of London, created in 1660 «for the improving of natural knowledge», was where these bold new answers to old questions were formulated, discussed, contested, and modified, by men such as Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke, Edmond Halley, and Thomas Burnet.

Vegetable oil occupies a very strong place in the economy of any nation. Its content together with carbohydrates and proteins, contributes in the improvement of nutritional value of the human diet. It is a source of revenue to government and individuals and used as an ingredient or component in many manufactured products (Inan et al., 2006 and USDA, 2000 and 2006). Vegetable oil is produced from oil fruits such as olives and palm and industrial plants such as soy beans and cotton seed, as well as from plants with oil seed, an example is sunflower etc.
