General Sir Charles Harington Harington, who received the nickname “Tim” after being gazetted to The King’s Regiment and joining the Serapis at Aden in 1892, was a British Army officer who served in the Directorate of Mobilization in 1914 and then became Plumer's BGGS in the 2nd Army in France. After World War I, he became DCIGS to Henry Wilson, then GOC Allied Forces of Occupation in Constantinople during the Chanak Affair, which partly led to the downfall of Lloyd George's administration. It was in October 1920 that Harington was sent by Mr. Winston Churchill—then Secretary of State for War—to Constantinople to succeed General (later Field-Marshal Lord) Milne. The Force at Constantinople (28th Division) was to be reduced to six battalions, a cavalry regiment and some gunners, and Harington was to see the treaty ratified. He was also to lead a Greek division at Ismid, and a Greek regiment at Beicos opposite Therapia on the Bosphorus. Tim Harington Looks Back is his very own full and frank account of his fascinating life—from his early beginnings, to his military career, to being received by His Majesty the King.
Everybody knows the this-little-piggy game -- the big toe is the little piggy who went to market, and the baby toe is the little piggy who went wee wee wee all the way home. But what about the toes on the other foot? It turns out none of those piggies is eating roast beef... One is playing the drums. One is riding a go-kart. One is dancing. One is flying a plane. And one of the little piggies has built a rocket ship and is traveling into outer space!
From 2001 to 2006, Richard L. Cates Jr. interviewed senior members of more than 30 families living in and around Arena township, a small community in southern Wisconsin. He asked them about growing up in rural America and their connection to a way of life that is vanishing in the twenty-first century. The result, Voices from the Heart of the Land, is a collection of reminiscences, observations, and opinions celebrating the stewardship of the land and the values of the stewards. Of course, as Cates points out, these are nothing less than “our core human values—integrity, commitment, responsibility, citizenship, self-determination, decency, kindness, love, and hope.”
This book presents strategies for feeding energy and protein supplements to pasture-fed dairy cows and examines the potential economic benefits.

James Connolly was a prolific writer of books, tracts, articles and essays, and conducted a voluminous correspondence with ideological friends and foes of every persuasion. This selection of just over 100 previously uncollected articles and essays is arranged into six sections, corresponding to the journals in which they originally appeared: The Workers Republic; The Socialist; The Harp; The Irish Worker; The Worker; and The Workers Republic (1915-1916). Each section is prefaced with a brief historical context, and explanatory footnotes are included throughout. The introduction provides a biographical sketch of the man and his times and an account of the tangled history of the posthumous publication of Connolly's work - providing a mirror of developments in the Irish labour movement since Connolly's death.

Summoned by the call of the copper mines in Butte, Montana, Irish immigrants left a struggling Ireland at the beginning of the 20th century in search of a better life. Around the mines peppering the hills of the mining city, these determined sons and daughters of Eire built strong Irish neighborhoods that engendered the best of Irish culture and influence. Faith, family, a strong work ethic, and a sense of humor would see these immigrants through the decades. Celebrations like St. Patricks Day and An Ri Ra, Irish language workshops, and a new generation of Irish artisans acknowledge the contributions of this influential group.
