Redcoated Ploughboys: The Volunteer Battalion of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Feltoe, Richard, PUBLISHER: Dundurn Group, In the future of British North America hung in the balance when the United States declared war with the avowed goal of conquering the Canadas and removing British influence from the continent forever. In response, a corps of men, drawn from every walk of life and social stratum of Upper Canada, stepped forward to defend their fledgling colony by volunteering to serve in the Battalion of Incorporated Militia of Upper Canada. After undergoing rigorous training and fighting with distinction in numerous skirmishes and battles, thereby earning the prestigious battle honour x;Niagara x;; this regiment was disbanded at the conclusion of the war and with the passage of time its dedicated service and efforts faded into the dust of histories written about the War of .

The Warden

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Trollope, Anthony, PUBLISHER: Trafalgar Square Publishing, The first of Trollope's Barchester series, "The Warden" represents the beginning of one of the most enduring collections of British fiction. It is, however, an immensely compelling story in its own right, told with the author's usual style and an eye for human weakness. Both a love story and a critique of the social mores of the time, the tale of Revd Harding, the Warden of the title, is a piece of literature that will perhaps provoke as much as it will entertain.

Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aksakov, Sergei Timofeevich / Timofeevich-Aksakov, Sergei / Aksakov, S. T., PUBLISHER: Northwestern University Press, The companion volume to his popular Notes on Fishing, Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler is Sergei Aksakov's guide to the bird species of his native Russia. Written in a style that invites comparison to the works of Gilbert White and Thomas Coward, Aksakov's volume combines a naturalist's sensibility with a literary skill that elevates the work beyond ordinary environmental writing. Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler is filled with precise descriptions of the various game that it treats: detailed accounts of the behavior of birds, observations on their life cycles, and lyrical discourses on the habitats -- marsh, water, and forest -- found in the author's home region. Aksakov's deep fondness for his homeland permeates his Notes, and he contrasts a gentleman's affectionate observations on both hunter and hunted (Aksakov's passion for the habits and habitats of his subjects are in stark contrast with his enthusiasm for the shooting and eating of his quarry) with an expertly conveyed atmosphere of personal and national nostalgia. Offering a rich multitude of viewpoints -- philosophical, literary, linguistic, ethnographic, and environmental -- Notes of a Provincial Wildfowler will appeal to a wide audience of readers, from birders to historians to those who relish fine literature.

The Gods of Roman Britain

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Green, Miranda J. / Aldhouse-Green, Miranda, PUBLISHER: Shire Publications, This book looks at the religious beliefs of the people of the Roman province of Britain and at the gods they worshipped. Little literary evidence survives and it is therefore necessary to rely almost wholly on epigraphic and iconographical representations. The book first examines the pre-Roman Celtic background to Romano-British religion from about 500 BC. The chapters following analyse the nature of the evidence; the introduction of Roman religion to the province; oriental cults including Christianity; the integration of Roman with pre-existing British and other Celtic cults, and the resulting composite religion which thus emerged. The final chapter examines stylised Celtic representations of anonymous divinities. Miranda Green is currently Professor of Archaeology at University of Wales College, Newport, where she is also Director of the SCARAB Research Centre.
