In 1960, the Imperial War Museum began a momentous and important task. A team of academics, archivists and volunteers set about tracing WWI veterans and interviewing them at length in order to record the experiences of ordinary individuals in war. The IWM aural archive has become the most important archive of its kind in the world. Authors have occasionally been granted access to the vaults, but digesting the thousands of hours of footage is a monumental task. Now, forty years on, the Imperial War Museum has at last given author Max Arthur and his team of researchers unlimited access to the complete WWI tapes. These are the forgotten voices of an entire generation of survivors of the Great War. The resulting book is an important and compelling history of WWI in the words of those who experienced it.

The ancient Celts had a secret. They knew that the ideal man should be samildanach, "complete and whole." The journey to achieve this goal was related mythically in the Grail legends. Now you can find the secrets of this journey in The Grail Castle by Kenneth Johnson and Marguerite Elsbeth. This amazing book blends the ancient myths with Carl Jung's insights into the nature of personality in men. He saw that there were four major categories of personality: Warrior-Hero; Lover; Magician-Wise Man; and King-Father. These were represented by the four treasures of the Grail myth. Jung also saw that the goal of the myth ó to obtain all of the treasures ó symbolized integrating the segmented personality into a healthy whole. This process can be accomplished through years of work with a Jungian analyst. Or you can do the work yourself, using the meditations, rituals, and shamanic practices in The Grail Castle. First, you will take some simple tests to find out which archetype is most prevalent in your personality. You'll learn how living with this influences everything you do. The goal of your journey is not to quiet this influence, but to passionately arouse all of the archetypes Then, you can unite them, and be born again as a whole, integrated person. If you are a man, this book is a must. It will show you the keys to breaking down barriers to personal development. If you are a woman, you'll want this book so you can learn how to better nurture and encourage the men in your life. Get this book today.

Depicts the life of the slave, Spencer Polk, describes the history of his descendants, and discusses the family's cultural traditions

We know very little about spinsters in earlier times, for the stigma attached to the unmarried state often rendered these women almost invisible. Now a fascinating book opens a window into the lives of British spinsters in the mid-seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries, assessing the opportunities open to them and the restrictions placed upon them within different social classes, occupations, and periods. Bridget Hill examines how often spinsters were able to earn enough money to live independently, what provision the Poor Law made for them if they did not, whether extreme poverty led to their involvement in crime or prostitution, and, if they stayed in the parental home, what kind of lives they led. She looks at the part single women played in religious organisations and the role of friendship and letter-writing in their daily lives. She describes the nature of close relationships between women, some lesbian but many others not. Exploring the spinsters' possibilities of escape from restrictive lives, particularly by emigration or crossdressing, she discusses how successful these were. She provides details about the degree of surveillance single women suffered from the authorities
