Fragments of ancient belief have been incorporated into folklore and Christian dogma with the result that its original tenets have merged with the myths and psychologies of the intervening years. Hilda Ellis Davidson sifts through centuries of cultural and religious influences to locate evidence of these "lost" pagan beliefs. Davidson illustrates how northern pagan religions have been represented and misinterpreted by the Christian tradition and throws light on the nature of such beliefs and how they have been preserved. The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe stresses both the possibilities and the difficulties of investigating pre-Christian faiths and emphasizes the need to separate speculation from scientific proof. This book will be a useful tool for students with a serious interest in archaeology as it illustrates with examples how objectivity is not necessarily the driving force in forming our supposedly scientific view of the past. It will also appeal to the general reader who wants to understand the true nature of Northern European pagan belief as opposed to the oversimplified view popularized by the media. The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe argues for intellectual rigorousness rather than romanticization of the past, and challenges the reader to rethink accepted interpretations.

L.C.B. Seaman - From Vienna to Versailles (1990).jpg

No period of European history is as widely studied as that from the Vienna settlement to the Treaty of Versailles. Yet few periods are so widely misunderstood. Provocatively reinterpreting the events from 1815 to 1920 in Europe, From Vienna to Versailles dispels the myths that obscure much nineteenth-century history. Seaman reexamines the notion that middle class-discontent fomented the 1848 revolutions, that Napolean III `overthrew' the Second Republic, and that a condition of international anarchy existed in the decade before 1914, among others. Emphatic and challenging, From Vienna to Versailles interprets events rather than simply enumerating them, inspiring its readers to have opinions about history, to take sides and debate, to take part in history's writing.

Lars-Eric Hoglund - Uniforms of The Swedish Army i n the Great Northern War (1996).jpg

Forward, Or Why One Would Write Such A Book
The increase in serious interest in the era of Charles XII in the last few years is due in large part to the books of Peter Englund and Alf Åberg. On the other hand, for those who wish to study the uniforms of the period in greater depth, the offerings are somewhat limited. The recommended works in Swedish are first and foremost Bellander's, "Dräkt och uniform", Åberg and Göransson's, "Karoliner, and Gripenberg's, "Finsk Krigsmannabeklädnad. However, these only deal with the Swedish and Finnish indelta regiments, as well as the Livgardet and Artillery. The värvade units in the German provinces are described in two excellent volumes by Georg Tessin, "Die Deutschen Regimenter der Krone Schweden; however, all of the his uniform information is not correct. In the last couple of years a number of English and American booklets on the Swedish Army in the Great Northern War have appeared. Unfortunately, they all have the same things in common. They are carelessly produced and full of errors. Finally, uniform information is lacking on the garrison units in Sweden and the Baltic, as well as information on all of the temporary and värvade regiments raised during the war, except perhaps for a footnote in some regimental history. A large part of earlier published information now appears to be unsupported by the facts which one finds in the General Muster Rolls for the specific units. For the benefit of those who are interested in uniforms, in particular those brave souls who paint military miniatures, I have been encouraged to publish my notes. This I do with a certain hesitation. Seen from the economic and technocratic perspective of our stress filled age with its blind demand for effectiveness and profitability, such a book as this is in all honesty unjustified. On the other hand, it has been extremely satisfying to have written it. One thing or another in the book is in direct opposition to earlier published information and traditional views. I take this risk. People who do such research are not to be trifled with. Nevertheless, as far as I have be able to interpret the muster rolls, accounts, reports, orders and other documents, my uniform information is reliable. In questionable cases, it is at least highly probable. I hope readers profit from what I have produced. I would also like to thank Sören Henriksen of Roskilde in Denmark and Marc Grieves who has done the beautiful illustrations, together with Leif Törnquist , Anders Thornström of the Krigsarkivet and Jean Claesson who have contributed some valuable uniform information, and last, but not the least; my warmest thanks to Dan Schorr of Harrison, Maine, who have done a superb and very fluent translation of my book into English!
Karlstad, July 1996, Lars-Eric Höglund

Brinley Thomas - The Industrial Revolution and the Atlantic Economy, Selected Essays (1993).jpg

In recent years, the idea that Britain experienced an industrial revolution has been widely questioned. The new economic history, with its emphasis on quantitative techniques and macro-economic indices, has tended to regard Britain's transformation as a gradual and modest affair which does not deserve the term "revolution." The Industrial Revolution and the Atlantic Economy takes issue with this revisionism. Brinley Thomas argues that a change in technology enabled Britain to overcome the energy crisis and to sustain dramatic population growth at an increasing standard of living. This epoch- making change in the energy base was brought about by substituting fossil fuels for organic materials, thereby ushering in the modern age of coal, iron and petroleum.

David Turley - The Culture of English Anti-Slavery , 1780-1860 (1991).jpg

The Culture of English Antislavery addresses the recent lively international debate about the relation of antislavery in Britain to the deep changes of the period of the Industrial Revolution. It offers an account of the overall shape of organized antislavery from its beginnings in the 1780s, and provides fresh perspectives from which to assess opposing interpretations of antislavery. The evolution of antislavery is portrayed as a series of changing alliances of different and sometimes conflicting religious traditions. The successive alliances of abolitionists are analyzed through the concept of a culture of reform embracing ideology, organizational and propaganda forms, and the more intimate connections and rituals which reformers used to reinforce their identity and solidarity. The result is a definition of the middle class "reform mentality" which linked the antislavery work of reformers to social improvement and to campaigns for transatlantic reform.David Turley's argument is supported in short narratives about reform in different communities at different times. In his conclusion, he relates the various elements of the antislavery coalitions to early Chartism and the popular radicalism of the 1790s.

Reuven Amitai-Preiss - Mongols and Mamluks, The Ma mluk-Ilkhanid War, 1260-1281 (1995).jpg

For sixty years, from 1260-1323, the Mamluk state in Egypt and Syria was at war with the Ilkhanid Mongols based in Persia. This is the first comprehensive study of the political and military aspects of the early years of the war, from the battle of Ayn Jalut in 1260 to the battle of Homs in 1281. Between these campaigns, both sides were engaged in various types of psychological warfare. Here, as in the major battles, the Mamluks usually gained the upper hand, establishing themselves as the most important Muslim power at the time.

- Original study of political and military aspects of Mamluk-Ilkhanid wars

M. Zakaria Goneim - The Lost Pyramid (1956).jpg

In 1951, an Egyptian archaeologist by the name of Zakaria Goneim found the unfinished pyramid of Djoser's successor, Sekhemkhet, to the southwest of the Djoser pyramid.

Only the first step of the pyramid rising to around seven metres was completed before the pharaoh's death. Nonetheless, Goneim found evidence that the pyramid had been used as a burial chamber and had not been disturbed for over 4,000 years.

Experts believe that, if completed, the pyramid would have a larger and more ambitious version of the Djoser Pyramid. The similarities in design to the early pyramid and graffiti found at the site indicate that Imhotep was also responsible for Sekhemkhet's tomb.

Muhammed Zakaria Goneim was an Egyptian archaeologist, known for his discoveries in and around Saqqara. He is best known for discovering the Step pyramid of Sekhemkhet.

Matt K. Matsuda - Empire of Love, Histories of Fra nce and the Pacific (2005).jpg

In this broad-ranging survey of Paris, Tahiti, Indochina, Japan, New Caledonia, and the South Pacific generally, Matt Matsuda illustrates the fascinating interplay that shaped the imaginations of both colonizer and colonized.

Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Matsuda describes the constitution of a "French Pacific" through the eyes of Tahitian monarchs, Kanak warriors, French politicos and prisoners, Asian revolutionaries and Central American laborers, among others.

Author argues that French imperialism in the Pacific, both real and imagined, was registered most forcefully in languages of desire and love --for lost islands, promised wealth and riches, carnal and spiritual pleasures-- and political affinities.
Exploring the conflicting engagements with love for and against the empire in the Pacific, this book is an imaginative and ground-breaking work in global imperial and colonial histories, as well as Pacific histories.

David A. Scott, Peter Mayers - Archaeometry of Pre -Columbian Sites and Artifacts (1994).jpg

Archaeometry is the application of scientific methods and analyses to the study of culture in its archaeological context. Garnered from a conference called to study the material culture from North and South America, the book's twenty essays on a broad range of subjects represent the full scope of study in this field. They include papers by Ron L. Bishop on the compositional analysis of pre-Columbian pottery from the Maya region, Heather Lechtman on the materials science of material culture from the Andes, and J. Michael Elam and others on source identification and hydration dating of obsidian artifacts.
