Bloody Autumn
An “essential addition to serious students’ libraries” detailing the historic military offensive that helped sway the outcome of the American Civil War (Civil War News). In the late summer of 1864, Union General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant set one absolutely unconditional goal: to sweep Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley “clean and clear.” His man for the job: Maj. Gen. “Little Phil” Sheridan—a temperamental Irishman who’d proven himself just the kind of scrapper Grant loved. The valley had already played a major part in the war for the Confederacy as both the location of major early victories against Union attacks, and as the route used by the Army of Northern Virginia for its i...

Davis's Manual of Magnetism
"The book contains a full description of the electrotype process, critical to many subsequent photomechanical patents and methods ... The electrotype process was important in photomechanical printing in that it was first used to copy daguerreotypes and was also used in experiments as a printing surface. Eventually Paul Pretsch used it with his photo-galvano-graphic process, and it was used continuously thereafter as a device to duplicate surfaces for printing in practically all the relief processes and some intaglio."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 8
Eleventh Hour in 2020 America
This book lays out compelling evidence that U.S. foreign policy for more than two decades has been an unqualified failure. If substantive changes are not made--soon--in how we engage with the world we risk suffering catastrophic loss. Whether Donald Trump wins a second term in November or Joe Biden is voted into office, it will be crucial that the country's jacked-up foreign policy be brought into conformity with new and emerging realities. If we continue the status quo of our current bipartisan foreign policy that has dominated for decades, we risk international obsolescence - or we'll fumble our way into an entirely avoidable, unnecessary, and pointless war. As of this writing, we are not ...
