3. The Cathedral Builders, The Story of a Great Masonic Guild - Leader Scott 1899

With the breaking up of the College of Architects and their expulsion from Rome, we come upon a period in which it is hard to follow their path. Happily the task has been made less baffling by recent research, and if we are unable to trace them all the way much light has been let into the darkness. Hitherto there has been a hiatus also in the history of architecture between the classic art of Rome, which is said to have died when the empire fell to pieces, and the rise of Gothic art. Just so, in the story the builders one finds a gap of like length, between the Collegia of Rome and the cathedral artists. While the gap cannot, as yet be perfectly bridged, much has been done to that end by Leader Scott in The Cathedral Builders; The Story of a Great Masonic Guild - a book itself a work of art as well as of fine scholarship. Her thesis is that the missing link is to be found in the Magistri Comacini, a guild of architects who, on the break-up of the Roman Empire, fled to Comacina, a fortified island in Lake Como, and there kept alive the traditions of classic art during the Dark Ages; that from them were developed in direct descent the various styles of Italian architecture; and that, finally, they carried the knowledge and practice of architecture and sculpture into France, Spain, Germany and England. Such a thesis is difficult, and from its nature not susceptible of absolute proof, but the writer makes it as certain as anything can well be." Bro Joseph Fort Newton

4. The Solar Plexus or Abdominal Brain - Theron Q. Dumont,a.k.a W.W.Atkinson 1920

One of the great facts concerning the Solar Plexus,
or Abdominal Brain, which fact is not yet
generally recognized by modern psychology,
but which has been known for centuries
by the occultist.
The Solar Plexus is the seat of emotional nature of Man.

5. Louis Pasteur and the Hidden World of Microbes (Oxford Portraits in Science)

Chronicling Louis Pasteur's rise from humble beginnings to international fame, Louis Pasteur and the Hidden World of Microbes investigates the complex life of a man who revolutionized our understanding of disease. Alongside Pasteur's pioneering work with microorganisms, his innovative use of heat to kill harmful organisms in food--a process now known as "pasteurization"--and his development of the rabies vaccine, Louise Robbins places Pasteur in the context of his risky scientific methods and his rigid family and political beliefs. Robbins's reveals a man of genius with sometimes troubling convictions. Louis Pasteur and the Hidden World of Microbes is a fascinating look at one of the most important scientific minds of the last two centuries.

6. A Question of Evidence: The Casebook of Great Forensic Controversies, from Napoleon to O.J - colin evans

Scientific sleuthing and slip-ups in the investigations of fifteen famous cases
Ranging from the Turin Shroud and the suspicious death of Napoleon Bonaparte to the murder cases of Dr. Sam "The Fugitive" Sheppard and O. J. Simpson, A Question of Evidence takes readers inside some of the most vexing forensic controversies of all time. In each case, Colin Evans lays out the conflicting medical and scientific evidence and shows how it was used or mishandled in reaching a verdict. Among the other cases: the assassination of JFK, the strange history of Alfred Packer (the only convicted American cannibal), the death of Vatican banker Roberto Calvi, and the trials of Lindy Chamberlain (the "dingo baby" case) and Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald (the case recounted in Fatal Vision). Though the science of forensics has helped solve a huge number of crimes, it's clear from A Question of Evidence that many cases are more open than shut.

7. The Sacred Depths of Nature - ursula Goodenough 1998

In eloquent prose, Goodenough, a noted molecular biologist, offers a scientist's insight into the dialogue between science and religion. The book's structure is similar to the Daily Devotionals found in some Protestant denominations, but with a decidedly broader approach to the vast ontological questions being pursued. Beginning with an autobiographical sketch, Goodenough moves resolutely through the major questions of being. Her inquiries cut across the boundaries of cosmology, astrophysics, cell biology, evolutionary theory, sexuality and death, moving into the realms of philosophy and theology. The author, while no theist, recognizes the eternal human quest for meaning engendered by the essentially non-quantifiable mystery of consciousness. Displaying open-mindedness to non-scientific approaches in her search for ultimate understanding, she writes with equal respect of Taoism's enigmatic, ironical credo and of 19th-century Transcendentalists' humanistic vision. This spiritual diversity, accompanied by scientific observations drawn from such authorities as Stephen Hawking and Edward O. Wilson, makes for a stirring, enlightening read. In part a reverential memoir by a dedicated scientist, this book provides a meeting place for the revelations of advanced science and technology and the universal, unanswerable questions of humanity

8. Einstein and Oppenheimer: The Meaning of Genius - silvan schweber 2009

Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, two iconic scientists of the twentieth century, belonged to different generations, with the boundary marked by the advent of quantum mechanics. By exploring how these men differed—in their worldview, in their work, and in their day—this book provides powerful insights into the lives of two critical figures and into the scientific culture of their times. In Einstein’s and Oppenheimer’s philosophical and ethical positions, their views of nuclear weapons, their ethnic and cultural commitments, their opinions on the unification of physics, even the role of Buddhist detachment in their thinking, the book traces the broader issues that have shaped science and the world.

9. Civilized Life in the Universe: Scientists on Intelligent Extraterrestrials - george bassala 2006

This book is a selective and fascinating history of scientific speculation about intelligent extraterrestrial life. From Plutarch to Stephen Hawking, some of the most prominent western scientists have had quite detailed perceptions and misperceptions about alien civilizations: Johannes Kepler, fresh from transforming astronomy with his work on the shape of planetary orbits, was quite sure alien engineers on the moon were excavating circular pits to provide shelter; Christiaan Huygens, the most prominent physical scientist between Galileo and Newton, dismissed Kepler's speculations, but used the laws of probability to prove that "planetarians" on other worlds are much like humans, and had developed a sense of the visual arts; Carl Sagan sees clearly that Huygens is a biological chauvinist, but doesn't see as clearly that he, Sagan, may be a cultural/technological chauvinist when he assumes aliens have highly developed technology like ours, but better. Basalla traces the influence of one speculation on the next, showing an unbroken but twisting chain of ideas passed from one scientist to the next, and from science to popular culture. He even traces the influence of popular culture on science--Sagan always admitted how much E. R. Burroughs' Martian novels influenced his speculations about Mars. Throughout, Basalla weaves his theme that scientific belief in and search for extraterrestrial civilizations is a complex impulse, part secularized-religious, and part anthropomorphic. He questions the common modern scientific reasoning that life converges on intelligence, and intelligence converges on one science valid everywhere. He ends the book by agreeing with Stephen Hawking (usually a safe bet) that intelligence is overrated for survival in the universe, and that we are most likely alone.

10. Sight Unseen: An Exploration of Conscious and Unconscious Vision - melvyn goodale david milner 2003

Vision, more than any other sense, dominates our mental life. Our visual experience is just so rich, so detailed, that we can hardly distinguish that experience from the world itself. Even when we just think about the world and don't look at it directly, we can't help but 'imagine' what it looks like. We think of 'seeing' as being a conscious activity - we direct our eyes, we choose what we look at, we register what we are seeing. The series of events described in this book radically altered this attitute towards vision. This book describes one of the most extraordinary neurological cases of recent years - one that profoundly changed scientific views on consciousness. It is the story of Dee Fletcher - a woman who was virtually blind. Dee became the subject of a series of scientific studies. As events unfolded, it became apparent that Dee wasn't in fact blind - she just didn't know that she could see. Taking us on a journey into the unconscious brain, the two scientists who witnessed these incredible discoveries tell the amazing story of their work, and the surprising conclusion they were forced to reach. Written to be accessible to students and popular science readers, this book is a fascinating illustration of the power of the 'unconscious' mind.

11. How the Cows Turned Mad: Unlocking the Mysteries of Mad Cow Disease - Maxime Schwartz

Fear of mad cow disease, a lethal illness transmitted from infected beef to humans, has spread from Europe to the United States and around the world. Originally published to much acclaim in France, this scientific thriller, available in English for the first time and updated with a new chapter on developments in 2001, tells of the hunt for the cause of an enigmatic class of fatal brain infections, of which mad cow disease is the latest incarnation. In gripping, nontechnical prose, Maxime Schwartz details the deadly manifestations of these diseases throughout history, describes the major players and events that led to discoveries about their true nature, and outlines our current state of knowledge. The book concludes by addressing the question we all want answered: should we be afraid?
The story begins in the eighteenth century with the identification of a mysterious illness called scrapie that was killing British sheep. It was not until the 1960s that scientists understood that several animal and human diseases, including scrapie, were identical, and together identified them as transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). The various guises assumed throughout history by TSE include an illness called kuru in a cannibalistic tribe in Papua New Guinea, an infectious disease that killed a group of children who had been treated for growth hormone deficiencies, and mad cow disease. Revealing the fascinating process of scientific discovery that led to our knowledge of TSE, Schwartz relates pivotal events in the history of biology, including the Pasteurian revolution, the birth of genetics, the emergence of molecular biology, and the latest developments in biotechnology. He also explains the Nobel Prize-winning prion hypothesis, which has rewritten the rules of biological heredity and is a key link between the distinctive diseases of TSE.
Up-to-date, informative, and thoroughly captivating, How the Cows Turned Mad tells the story of a disease that continues to elude on many levels. Yet science has come far in understanding its origins, incubation, and transmission. This authoritative book is a stunning case history that illuminates the remarkable progression of science.

14. The Psychology of Self-Esteem: A Revolutionary Approach to Self-Understanding that Launched a New Era in Modern Psychology -by Nathaniel Branden

This new edition of the original text reveals how Nathaniel Branden's landmark book broke the rules of conventional behavioral theory and promulgated his revolutionary ideas on the critical role that self-esteem plays in living a healthy, fulfilling life. The book offers an in-depth exploration of the need for self-esteem, the nature of that need, the conditions of fulfillment, and how self-esteem (or lack of it) affects our values, responses, and goals. Branden also debunks the misguided notion that self-esteem is a "feel-good phenomenon" and shows instead how self-esteem, rationality, perseverance, self-responsibility, and personal integrity are all intimately related.

15. Lost Discoveries : The Ancient Roots of Modern Science--from the Babylonians to the Maya - dick teresi

Did Nicolas Copernicus steal his notion that the earth orbited the sun from an Islamic astronomer who lived three centuries earlier? Dick Teresi's innovative history of science, explores the unheralded scientific breakthroughs from peoples of the ancient world -- Babylonians, Egyptians, Indians, Africans, New World and Oceanic tribes, among others -- and the non-European medieval world. They left an enormous heritage in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, chemistry, and technology.

The mathematical foundation of Western science is a gift from the Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Babylonians, and Maya. The ancient Egyptians developed the concept of the lowest common denominator, and they developed a fraction table that modern scholars estimate required 28,000 calculations to compile. The Babylonians developed the first written math and used a place-value number system. Our numerals, 0 through 9, were invented in ancient India; the Indians also boasted geometry, trigonometry, and a kind of calculus.

Planetary astronomy as well may have begun with the ancient Indians, who correctly identified the relative distances of the known planets from the sun, and knew the moon was nearer to the earth than the sun was. The Chinese observed, reported, dated, recorded, and interpreted eclipses between 1400 and 1200 b.c. Most of the names of our stars and constellations are Arabic. Arabs built the first observatories.

Five thousand years ago, the Sumerians said the earth was circular. In the sixth century, a Hindu astronomer taught that the daily rotation of the earth on its axis provided the rising and setting of the sun. Chinese and Arab scholars were the first to use fossils scientifically to trace earth's history.

Chinese alchemists realized that most physical substances were merely combinations of other substances, which could be mixed in different proportions. Islamic scholars are legendary for translating scientific texts of many languages into Arabic, a tradition that began with alchemical books. In the eleventh century, Avicenna of Persia divined that outward qualities of metals were of little value in classification, and he stressed internal structure, a notion anticipating Mendeleyev's periodic chart of elements.

28. Hitlers Secret Headquarters - franz seidler

DURING the Second World War the threat of attack by aircraft and other long-range weapons led the principal European belligerents to design and build gas- and bombproof structures for the protection of their political and military leaderships. Great Britain and the Soviet Union were forced to do so by reason of their geographical proximity to Germany. The Third Reich, between 1939 and 1945, generated a huge industry in semi-subterranean Fuhrerhauptquartiere (Fuhrer Headquarters, or FHQ). When defeat came, almost twenty such estates were strewn across Europe with more under construction, their scale increasing beyond all comprehension as time went on. Whereas Hitler's 'excursions to the front' during the relatively straightforward Polish campaign could be made using his Sonderzug (special train) as a base, for the assault on France and the war against the Soviet Union more substantial, fixed headquarters were required. Most of these were located in the occupied territories and extended from Yendomc in the West (for the defence of 'Fortress Europe' against the Allied invasion) to Smolensk on the upper Dnieper (to conduct the battle for Moscow), and from Pleskau, not far from the Russian/Estonian border (to direct Army Group North in the battle for Leningrad), to as far south as the Ukraine (for Stalingrad and the Caucasus).

29. A Bridge Not Attacked: Chemical Warfare Civilian Research During World War II

In this book, I tell novel true stories concerning highly talented civilian scientists in some unusual places during World War II, carrying out research on defense against poison gases. Most of these were graduate students, working under the direction of professors at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of California (Berkeley). I focus on a small number of individuals, with in-depth study of these individuals and what they did. The general reader should be able to follow these mostly non-technical accounts of research on chemical warfare agents and to enjoy the many stories concerning, for examples, rural north Georgia during the Depression, rheumatic fever, Emory University in the late 1930s, the rising star of Caltech, the golden age of nuclear physics at Berkeley, and actions of these university scientists working together with army personnel on army bases. Scientists at Caltech and Berkeley did early laboratory work where the first job was to test how well our gas masks would protect soldiers against old and possibly new war gases. The gas masks miserably failed these tests, and the task was to develop better protection against toxic gases. High quality science at several universities went into this work, and the work succeeded in producing greatly improved gas masks. Later most activities were done outdoors to assess the effect of terrain and meteorological conditions on the travel and dissipation of toxic gas clouds.

30. Corporate Media Is Corporate America: BIG MEDIA INTERLOCKS WITH CORPORATE AMERICA AND BROADCAST NEWS MEDIA OWNERSHIP EMPIRES - Bridget Thornton, Brit Walters,Lori Rouse 2005

The Project Censored team researched the board members of 10 major
media organizations from newspaper to television to radio. Of these ten orga-
nizations, we found there are 118 people who sit on 288 different Ameri-
can and international corporate boards proving a close on-going interlock
between big media and corporate America. We found media directors who
also were former Senators or Representatives in the House such as Sam
Nunn (Disney) and William Cohen (Viacom). Board members served at the
FCC such as William Kennard (New York Times) and Dennis FitzSimmons
(Tribune Company) showing revolving door relationships with big media
andU.S. government officials.These ten big media organizations are the main source of news for most
Americans. Their corporate ties require us to continually scrutinize the qual-
ity of their news for bias. Disney owns ABC so we wonder how the board
of Disney reacts to negative news about their board of directors friends such
as Halliburton or Boeing. We see board members with connections to Ford,
Kraft, and Kimberly-Clark who employ tens of thousands of Americans.

31. Government Declares War on Natural Medicine (Article From Uncensored Magazine)

Whether it promotes dodgy vaccine
– many of which are known to have
harmful side-effects – or mercury
amalgam dental fillings, this govern-
ment is ignoring the evidence of
harm to our health these things can
cause.
Whose health are they looking after?
Ours, or that of the pharmaceutical
companies?
It condones genetically engineered
food, and promotes failed cancer
treatments like chemotherapy and
radiation (which may themselves
be carcinogenic). It pushes toxic
fluoride into our once pure drinking
water, and allows poisonous sprays
on the food we eat, ignoring the suc-
cesses of organic agriculture.
If this weren’t bad enough, the gov-
ernment is once again (!) trying to
make it illegal to sell health-giving
vitamins, minerals and herbal sup-
plements.
This is because the multi-national
pharmaceutical corporations have
declared war on the NZ natural
health industry.

33. MASONS THE TRUTH: SECRETS OF A SECRET SOCIETY

Freemasonry, although it's leaders strenuously deny it, is a secret society.
In England and Wales it has more than 600,000 initiates; a further
100,000 in Scotland and between 50,000 and 70,000 in Ireland. All the
members of this Brotherhood are male, and all except those who are
second, third, or fourth, generation Freemasons - who may join at eighteen
- are over the age of twenty-one. Freemasonry's critics have described it as
a business cult, a satanic religion, and a political conspiracy. Defenders of
Freemasonry tell us it is nothing more than a benevolent and charitable
fraternal brotherhood.
The headquarters of the Brotherhood in England and Wales is in London,
at the corner of Great Queen Street and Wild Street. This is the seat of the
`United Grand Lodge of England', the governing body of the 8,000-plus
Lodges in England and Wales. These Lodges, of which there are another
1,200-odd under the jurisdiction of the `Grand Lodge of Scotland' and
about 750 under the `Grand Lodge of Ireland', carry out their secret
business and ritual in Masonic Temples. Temples might be purpose built,
or might be rooms in hotels or private buildings temporarily converted for
Masonic use. Many town halls up and down the country, for example, have
private function rooms used for Masonic rituals, as does New Scotland
Yard - headquarters of the Metropolitan Police and home to the "Animal
Rights National Index" (ARNI) and Special Branch.

34. hollow earth proven by apollo 16 space pictures of earth provided by burlington ufo center of burlington wisconsin

These Images Now Show a Circular Opening at the North Pole!. Something that all Hollow Earth Theorists have been
waiting for! How long these photos will remain on the web is anyone's guess. Apparently for some mysterious reasons they
have been getting deleted from other people's sites. I recommend that you right click images and save them in a file...just in
case the worst scenerio happens. Apollo 8 photos have been out since 1967 but up until now we haven't had any colored
photos for the public to view.
From looking at these colored photos some questions can finally be answered. Off the black and whites you can not see it,
but the blackness was merely an effect. The inside of the hole seems white. More important is this: BOTH photos show the
ICE CAP clearly. The ICE CAP can been seen to be SMOOTH & SOLID. In EACH CASE, the hole lies on the EDGE of
the ICE CAP. This strongly hints at NORTH MAGNETIC POLE!!!
In spite of the totally different angles, each image seems to contain EXACTLY the same features inside the polar entrance.
That's fascinating for me. I'd sort of expected the hole to be round - but it seems to deviate a little from that - not that I see it
as a problem. I'm just curious as to WHY. The first thing is the "V" shape on the northern edge of the hole, where it meets
with the Arctic ice pack. It's as if there's a huge accumulation of ice covering the northern rim and jutting inwards.
The next thing is the somewhat irregular shape on the "eastern side" of the rim. The South and Western edges seem
PERFECTLY CIRCULAR. Then there's the issue of the strange "whiteness" lying on the inside in the South-Western
corner. Is it cloud? This whiteness, seems to be the only thing that varies between the two pictures - again, seeming to
suggest cloud.

35. Adam Eve And the Serpent - Elaine Pagels 1989

Elaine Pagels is perhaps best known as the author of the popular text, `The Gnostic Gospels', highlighting a lesser known arena in early Christian history. Her reputation is somewhat controversial, as is her writing, but one thing is certain - she is a good writer, interesting to read, and she will make her readers think. This particular book, `Adam, Eve and the Serpent' deals with issues surrounding sexuality and gender, a hot topic in the social and cultural situations of today, but similarly of concern throughout much of Christian history. There is a tug-of-war between `traditional values' (leaving aside that there are various traditions) and `revisionist' or `modern' ideas, and few are in agreement over where the boundaries should be drawn.

Pagels explores some of the ways in which these traditional roles of gender and patterns of sexual expression arose to become so powerfully ingrained in western Christian society. To this day, most people make the appeal to the early chapters of Genesis both as the paradigm for what God intended for the world as well as the explanation, if not the actual instance, of sin and evil encroaching upon the world. Pagels begins with a copy of the first few chapters of Genesis, and traces ways in which ancient Jewish and early Christian communities interpreted these chapters.

Each chapter in Pagel's book highlights a particular theme. The first chapter looks at the understanding of Jewish culture of the early Genesis stories that would have formed the world view of Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles and church leaders, all of whom were born and raised into this Jewish culture. Jesus and Paul do not seem to see original sin as being a sexual sin or act, according to Pagels, and humanity after Adam and Eve are still called to make a moral choice out of freedom that goes beyond sexuality.

Later chapters deal with the development of interpretation in light of the political and social situation, first as an oppressed minority, then later as a significant political presence in the empire. Pagels also devotes a chapter to looking at the Gnostics and their views toward gender and sexuality, the radicality of which sowed some of the discord between their community and the greater orthodox church. Pagels then devotes considerable space to the Augustinian development of ideas of sexuality, gender and human nature in relation to Genesis, as all subsequent Christian viewpoints in the West have some relationship, pro or con, to the Augustinian foundations. The prevailing idea of original sin as being sexual derives largely from Augustine (although some of it is based upon misinterpretation).

Pagels discusses briefly the issues of exegesis (interpretation) versus eisegesis (reading into the text, or projection) - it is often said that one can find most anything one wants in the bible by interpretation; Pagels has been charged with this as well. However, as an explanation of the ways in which certain texts were understood and passed on, Pagels is a good voice to include - her scholarship and research support is sound, and her interpretations fit within reasonable limits. This is a book that introduces the reader to ideas perhaps unknown, intriguing, and certainly worthy of conversation.

37. The Great Beyond: Higher Dimensions, Parallel Universes and the Extraordinary Search for a Theory of Everything - paul halpern

Ever since Plato first told his students the allegory of the cave, people have wondered whether dimensions exist beyond the three we immediately perceive. An extra dimension—time—played a role in Einstein's work, although he saw it only as a necessary evil to get his equations to work. Other scientists were more receptive: mathematical physicists Oskar Klein and Theodor Kaluza made higher dimensions an integral part of their attempts to discover a "theory of everything" that would tie together strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism and gravity. Halpern explains that over the past century gravity has been the shadow flickering on the walls of the cave hinting at other realms. Why is it so weak compared with electromagnetism? With string theory, and its successor, M-theory, physicists speculate that gravity "leaks" back and forth between our reality, an 11-dimensional "brane" (or membrane) and other branes, perhaps as close as a millimeter away. Halpern masterfully creates word pictures to illustrate mind-bending scientific theories, and he paints highly detailed sketches of the scientists involved—sometimes too detailed, leading readers to lose the thread of the narrative. Science buffs won't find much new here, but for average readers, this is an accessible account of the search for what lies behind our dim perception of reality. B&w photos.

39. New Dictionary Of The History of Ideas (6 Volume Set) - Charles Scribners Sons 2004...$869.00

What are the origins of the concepts under which we organize societies, create institutions and think about our lives? Where did the concept of God or equal rights or democracy come from? How does one idea influence another? Such questions fuel debates, speeches, papers and assignments in history classes, school speaking competitions, ethics classes and more. The publication of the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas marks the return of a reference work that is an essential tool to make the often complex history of "what we think" accessible to students and general readers. The original 1974 Dictionary of the History of Ideas has long been admired as a landmark document encapsulating the thinking of an era. This thoroughly re-envisioned New Dictionary of the History of Ideas brings fresh intelligence and a global perspective to bear on timeless questions about the individual and society. A distinguished team of international scholars explore new thinking in areas previously covered (communism, linguistics, physics) and present cross-cultural perspectives on more recent topics such as postmodernism, deconstruction and post-colonialism.

42. The Secret Origins of the Bible - 2002

Clearly written and easily understandable by the lay reader.
• Thoroughly researched: author's points are backed by references in the writings of acknowledged scholars.
• Special features of the book: lavishly illustrated with multiple images in each illustration that show at a glance the mythic themes paralleling the bible.
This book demonstrates that the stories and themes of the Bible were part of the great mythic systems of the ancient world by u sing comparative mythology, tell tale verses in the Bible and archaeology. The abstract God of modern monotheistic Judaism, Christianity and Islam is a comparatively recent creation.

46. An Instinct For War: Scenes from the Battlefields of History - Roger Spiller 2005

When, in mid-1940, the German OKH (Army High Command) first considered sending an expeditionary force to North Africa to attack British possessions there, including Egypt and the Suez Canal, they could not have guessed that the result of this German intervention in Africa would become one of the most famous military formations in history: The Deutsches Afrikakorps. The campaign in Africa really begins with the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935. With the advantage of modern weapons, Italy managed to defeat the troops of Haile Selassie and occupied most of the country. With the surrender of France on 22 June 1940, the only country left to resist Germany was England. While the Germans began planning the invasion of Britain - and several alternate plans - the Italians began preparations in their North African colony of Libya for an invasion of Egypt. It was decided that Germany would provide armor support for an Italian campaign against Egypt, and it was hoped that the African action would be over by Autumn 1941.

47. New Illustrated Guide to Modern Rifles & Sub-Machine Guns

The rifle's value as a specialist arm was apparent to many British officers who had served in America — and the French use of skirmishers to precede their attacking columns during the Revolutionary Wars necessitated the use of similar troops in opposition. In 1800, therefore, the British Army raised a Rifle Regiment armed with the Baker flintlock, which shot fairly well to 300yds (274m). In the 1850s. reloading speed was much improved by the adoption, first, of the French-developed Mime rifle — taking an elongated projectile with a hollow base, which expanded the lead bullet into the rifling after it had been rammed down — and then of the Enfield rifle. The Enfield, although still loading at only about two rounds per minute, shot well to c880yds (805m) in expert hands, dramatically increasing the effective fire zone of infantry in defence. Most of the world's modern armies were soon equipped with similar weapons. Their effect on tactics, evident in the American Civil War (1861-65), was profound: battles became more open and started at greater ranges; frontal attacks became suicidal; defensive works, ie, trenches, were essential; and the roles of cavalry and horse artillery were radically changed and limited.

50. American Literature in Magazines 1790's - 1950's

For those interested in American culture, magazines are invaluable. The way Americans think, the preferences they have and the beliefs they hold are often determined though the literature they read. For example, the ephemeral yet highly circulated story paper and dime novels of the second half of the nineteenth century are largely responsible for the present day American zeal for sensationalism, crime and western fiction. Relatively unknown figures such as Robert Bonner, Ned Buntline and Richard K. Fox have made a profound effect on how Americans think today. This fact is only now starting to be appreciated, largely through the study of the periodical literature.
