Secret Maps of the Ancient World
Who are The Coalition? Many wonder but few know the truth. The Coalition represents an amalgamation of single and married ultra-successful males who have combined their years of knowledge interacting with the opposite sex into a 12-month guide. A how-to manual which will take an individual from being "a man" to "the man" in 12 short months, step by step. July Jones and Monty Sharpe, two members of The Coalition, have chosen to shed the cloak of anonymity and chronicle the thoughts and philosophies of the single members of the organization. To date, other Coalition members have chosen to remain anonymous.
Winning at War
What are the independent variables that determine success in war? Drawing on 40 years of studying and teaching war, political scientist Christian P. Potholm presents a 'template of Mars,' seven variables that have served as predictors of military success over time and across cultures. In Winning at War, Potholm explains these variables_technology, sustained ruthlessness, discipline, receptivity to innovation, protection of military capital from civilians and rulers, will, and the belief that there will always be another war_and provides case studies of their implementation, from ancient battles to today.
Zheng He’s Maritime Voyages (1405-1433) and China’s Relations with the Indian Ocean World
Zheng He’s Maritime Voyages (1405-1433) and China’s Relations with the Indian Ocean World: A Multilingual Bibliography provides a multidisciplinary guide to publications on this great navigator’s activities and their impact on Chinese and world history. Admiral Zheng He commanded the fifteenth-century world’s largest fleet. In the course of seven voyages made between 1405 and 1433, his massive ships visited over thirty present-day countries in Asia and Africa. Those voyages reflected and reinforced the development of complex networks of trade, migration, cultural exchange, and political interactions between China and the Indian Ocean world. This bibliography lists sources in thirteen languages, including both scholarly studies and popular works like Gavin Menzies’s controversial bestsellers claiming the Chinese sailed around the world before Columbus. Relevant translations, transliterations and annotations are provided to aid the reader.
Did Ancient Chinese Explore America
A Chinese classic, the Shan Hai Jing, reportedly from 2000 BC claimed travels to the ends of the earth. However, today many, while accepting the antiquity of this account, believe it was just mythology. But was it?Testing the hypothesis that the Shan Hai Jing described actual surveys of North America, Charlotte Harris Rees, author of books about early Chinese exploration, followed an alleged 1100 mile Chinese trek along the eastern slope of the US Rocky Mountains. The Chinese account should have been easy to disprove. In the travelogue Did Ancient Chinese Explore America? Rees candidly shares her initial doubts then her search and discoveries. She weaves together history, subtle humor, academic studies, and many photographs to tell a compelling story.

Intoxicated by My Illness
Anatole Broyard, long-time book critic, book review editor, and essayist for the New York Times, wants to be remembered. He will be, with this collection of irreverent, humorous essays he wrote concerning the ordeals of life and death—many of which were written during the battle with cancer that led to his death in 1990. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year “A heartbreakingly eloquent and unsentimental meditation on mortality . . . Some writing is so rich and well-spoken that commentary is superfluous, even presumptuous. . . . Read this book, and celebrate a cultured spirit made fine, it seems, by the coldest of touches.”—Los Angeles Times “Succeeds brilliantly . . . Anatole B...
顛覆你的歷史觀：連歷史老師也不知道的史實
西方知識體系用三支畫筆所描繪的歷史，是真的史實嗎？ 拋下這三支畫筆，重新審視歷史，東方其實沒想像中那麼弱！ 從開始學習歷史以來，東方就是弱的，西方才是強權，如果不是西方人挾帶槍砲打開中國的大門，現在的中國不會有這樣的富強？這樣的世界觀是誰勾勒出來的？東方有如西方所說，是個貧窮、沒有理性、欠缺法律觀念的弱國嗎？因為課本這樣寫，所以以上這些都是事實？不！以下才是。 哥倫布「發現新大陸」是場世紀大騙局，他乃是地圖在握，信心十足地前往「未知的」彼岸。早在哥氏之前，印度洋上早...
1434
“Para penjelajah besar Eropa adalah pria berani dan tekun. Tapi mereka tak menemukan apa pun. Magellan bukanlah yang pertama berlayar mengelilingi dunia, sama seperti Columbus bukan yang pertama menemukan benua Amerika. Jadi, kenapa para sejarawan terus menyebarluaskan fantasi ini? Kenapa The Times Atlas of WorldExploration, yang menguraikan secara terperinci berbagai temuan para penjelajah Eropa, masih diajarkan di sekolah? Kenapa kaum muda terus-menerus disesatkan?”—Gavin Menzies Gavin Menzies, penulis 1421, karya terlaris versi New York Times, menyuguhkan satu lagi telaah ulang sejarah yang mencengangkan, menyodorkan bukti baru meyakinkan yang menghubungkan awal mula Renaisans Eropa...
