Russian Germans on Four Continents
The history of Russian Germans (Russlanddeutsche) is one of intensive mobility across space and time. In this volume, authors from the fields of history, sociology, cultural studies, and sociolinguistics analyze key issues of the history and present of this globally connected diaspora group from an interdisciplinary angle.
Mischief at Mingela
Fourteen-year-old army cadet, Chloe Cummings, is on an outback bivouac with her cadet unit near the tiny North Queensland town of Mingela when mischief begins. Chloe looks sixteen but acts eighteen and has many enemies in camp. She has a reputation for scandalous behaviour, and the lady Officers of Cadets are watching like hawks for any misbehaviour to get her and her best friend, Jane, discharged. But during a field exercise, her cadet unit witnesses the murder of a bikie gang member, thrusting them into a deadly pursuit that will test their characters, physical abilities and training to the absolute limit. Join Chloe as she and her unit struggle to survive against the evil bikie gang and harsh environment of the outback.
Menlo Park
Menlo Park is ideally situated on the center of the San Francisco peninsula, benefitting from the bayside's near-perfect weather. In the late 1800s, the area's temperate climate drew many of San Francisco's elite to build lavish summer estates in town.

The city grew up along El Camino Real, and its downtown retail district centers around Santa Cruz Avenue. Today, Menlo Park is a suburban oasis of beautiful homes with a thriving business community that incorporates a number of leading high-tech companies.

Burdened by war and debt, life was extremely difficult for impoverished European peasants until a former German princess came to power. Seeking to increase borderland population, provide a buffer against Ottoman Empire incursions, and bring agricultural ingenuity to her country, Russian empress Catherine II issued a remarkable 1763 manifesto inviting Europeans to immigrate. Their passage paid, colonists would become Russian citizens, yet retain their language and culture. For the next four years, some 27,000 settlers came--mostly from Hesse and the Palatinate--...
East Prussians from Russia
This is the account of some 240 Prussian families who first migrated to the Ukraine and then re-settled in Marinette and Oconto counties, Wisconsin . The author furnishes the family member's year of birth, date entered the U.S., country of origin, port of entry, and date of death, as well as the name of his spouse, and her dates of birth and death. Also very useful are a number of plat maps showing the distribution of land in the aforementioned counties among East Prussian settlers around the turn of this century.
