Описание: Fighting in the Dark is a new book about naval combat at night; the title also, however, signifies the overarching theme of the book, of moving from dark to light: in short, the process of mastering technological change during war. The authors start with the proposition that it is hard to hit an invisible target, particularly one in motion. In the nineteenth century, when ships relied upon visual signalling and vessels beyond hailing range were deaf and mute in the dark, night battles at sea were rare and largely accidental.
Three inventions changed this: the torpedo, the searchlight, and the radio. These inventions at the end of the nineteenth and start of the twentieth centuries transformed naval warfare by making combat in the dark feasible and in some cases, desirable. The process by which navies used the dark and adapted it into a medium for effective combat was long and difficult, more so for some than others.
This book is about that process and about how Russian, British, German, Italian, Japanese and US navies confronted the specific new challenges and adapted to unfamiliar situations and emerging technologies. Fighting in the Dark consists of chapters written by a group of highly respected naval historians, and the book's approach illuminates how different navies and cultures approached common problems. The fierce night-time battles that are described serve as a metaphor for the larger issues and the reader is led along a fascinating journey of naval warfare from the Russo-Japanese War, through WWI, to the Second World War, and from the Pacific to the English Channel.

Описание: A gorgeous, lyrical picture-book biography of Vincent van Gogh by the Caldecott Honor team behind The Noisy Paint Box. Vincent can't sleep . . . out, out, out he runs flying through the garden--marigold, geranium, blackberry, raspberry-- past the church with its tall steeple, down rolling hills and sandy paths meant for sheep, He dives at last into the velvety, violet heath, snuggles under a blanket of sapphire sky, and looks up, up, up . . . to visit with the stars. Vincent van Gogh often found himself unable to sleep and wandered under starlit skies. Those nighttime experiences provided the inspiration for many of his paintings, including his most famous, The Starry Night. Van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime--but he continued to pursue his unique vision, and ultimately became one of the most beloved artists of all time. From the same team behind the Caldecott Honor Book The Noisy Paint Box, Vincent Can't Sleep is a stunning book that offers insight into the true meaning of creativity and commitment. Praise for The Noisy Paint Box: -Even those who aren't inspired to visit a museum will take away the lesson of Kandinsky's life: Listen to what excites you and follow its call.- --The New York Times * -Rosenstock's prose strikes a balance between lightheartedness and lyricism. GrandPre's paintings conjure up an entire epoch . . . breathing life into all the characters.- --Publishers Weekly, starred * -The rich word choice is a delight: pistachio, cobalt, and saffron introduce readers to colors while hissing, blaring, and whispering reveal the sounds of the colors. . . . This is a beautiful blend of colors, music, and life.- --Booklist, starred * -A rich, accomplished piece about a pioneer in the art world.- --Kirkus Reviews, starred * -The book offers diverse potential for different types of study, whether one is reading for information or for pleasure. Outstanding.- --School Library Journal, starred

Описание: Each time she knelt to "catch" another wriggling baby -- nearly three thousand times during her remarkable career -- California midwife Peggy Vincent paid
homage to the moment when pain bows to joy and the world makes way for one more. With every birth, she encounters another woman-turned-goddess: Catherine rides out her labor in
a car careening down a mountain road. Sofia spends hers trying to keep her hyper doctor-father from burning down the house.
Susannah gives birth so quietly that neither
husband nor midwife notice until there's a baby in the room. More than a collection of birth stories, however, "Baby Catcher" is a provocative account of the difficulties that midwives
face in the United States. With vivid portraits of courage, perseverance, and love, this is an impassioned call to rethink technological hospital births in favor of more individualized and
profound experiences in which mothers and fathers take center stage in the timeless drama of birth.

11-year-old Vincent van Gogh discovers a curious new world through a tunnel on the moor. A mysterious white rabbit introduces Vincent to Alice, and their quest begins--defeat the dreaded Jabberwock before it consumes all of Wonderland.
A slithy tove, an ill-tempered caterpillar, and the Cheshire cat meet them along the path as their adventures take them through fields dancing with flowers, tangled forests, and looking-glass pools.
But all is not what it seems in Wonderland, and Vincent may not have-- and may not want-- what it takes to succeed. Destroying the Jabberwock may cost more than he's willing to give.

Описание: The rise of the Viking Kingdom of Norway is one of the most exciting medieval accounts in history. It traces the lives of Twelve Kings, from the notorious Viking Age to the High Middle Ages, each with their own unique impact on Scandinavia - and the world. Their boundless lives involve dramatic power struggles, fierce battles, love affairs, bitter betrayals, and daring voyages into the unknown. This is an extraordinary story of how a Viking Kingdom was forged, transformed, and ultimately, collapsed. "In this brisk and riveting-and not a little bloody-read, Simon Vincent recounts how Norway was forged through the lives of twelve of its most remarkable men-Founders and Forgers, all of them Kings. Fusing the passion of the sagas with the accuracy of scholarship, Vincent succeeds in providing us with a narrative that is as entertaining as it is edifying. As he writes, here is the 'real game of thrones.'" - Raymond Ibrahim, best-selling author. "Not since my childhood have I read such a comprehensive and exciting narrative on Norwegian history. The concept - a depiction of how the Norwegian state emerged, flourished, and then collapsed in the late Middle Ages - is very good." - Halvor Tj nn, historian and author. Simon Vincent is a Norwegian author and film maker. He holds an MSc. from Cass Business School, City University of London.
