Download or read book The Chief Factor s Daughter written by Vanessa Winn and published by TouchWood Editions. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chief factor: In the Hudson’s Bay Company fur-trade monopoly, the title of chief factor was the highest rank given to commissioned officers, who were responsible for a major trading post and its surrounding district. Colonial Victoria in 1858 is an unruly mix of rowdy gold seekers and hustling immigrants caught in the upheaval of the fur trade giving way to the gold rush. Chief Factor John Work, an elite of the Hudson’s Bay Company fur trade and husband to a country-born wife, forbids his daughters to go into the formerly quiet Fort Victoria, to protect them from its burgeoning transient population. Margaret, the eldest daughter, chafes at her father’s restrictions and worries that, at 23, she is fated to be a spinster. Born of a British father and Métis mother, Margaret and her sisters belong to the upper class of the fur-trade community, though they become targets of snobbery and racism from the new settlers. But dashing naval officers and Royal Engineers still host parties and balls, and Margaret and her sisters attend, dressed in the fashionable gowns they order from England. As happens the world over, these cultural tensions lead to love and romance. An elegant recreation of real events and people, The Chief Factor’s Daughter takes readers inside a now-vanished society, much like Pride and Prejudice. Margaret Work, with her aspirations, hopes and dreams, is a recognizable and thoroughly appealing heroine.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the generalizations of Sylow theorems and the related topics of formations and the fitting of classes to locally finite groups. It also contains details of Sunkov's and Belyaev'ss results on locally finite groups with min-p for all primes p. This is the first time many of these topics have appeared in book form. The body of work here is fairly complete.

Download or read book Structure Theory for Canonical Classes of Finite Groups written by Wenbin Guo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic introduction to recent achievements and development in research on the structure of finite non-simple groups, the theory of classes of groups and their applications. In particular, the related systematic theories are considered and some new approaches and research methods are described – e.g., the F-hypercenter of groups, X-permutable subgroups, subgroup functors, generalized supplementary subgroups, quasi-F-group, and F-cohypercenter for Fitting classes. At the end of each chapter, we provide relevant supplementary information and introduce readers to selected open problems.

Download or read book British Forts and Their Communities written by Christopher R. DeCorse and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the military features of historic forts usually receive the most attention from researchers, this volume focuses instead on the people who met and interacted in these sites. Contributors to British Forts and Their Communities look beyond the defensive architecture, physical landscapes, and armed conflicts to explore the complex social diversity that arose in the outposts of the British Empire. The forts investigated here operated at the empire's peak in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, protecting British colonial settlements and trading enclaves scattered across the globe. Locations in this volume include New York State, Michigan, the St. Lawrence River, and Vancouver, as well as sites in the Caribbean and in Africa. Using archaeological and archival evidence, these case studies show how forts brought together people of many different origins, ethnicities, identities, and social roles, from European soldiers to indigenous traders to African slaves. Characterized by shifting networks of people, commodities, and ideas, these fort populations were microcosms of the emerging modern world. This volume reveals how important it is to move past the conventional emphasis on the armed might of the colonizer in order to better understand the messy, entangled nature of British colonialism and the new era it helped usher in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is an important study of those Lie algebras which satisfy identical relations. It also deals with some of the applications of the theory. All principal results in the area are covered with the exception of those on Engel Lie algebras. The book contains basic information on Lie algebras, the varieties of Lie algebras in a general setting and the finite basis problem. An account is given of recent results on the Lie structure of associative PI algebras. The theory of identities in finite Lie algebras is also developed. In addition it contains applications to Group Theory, including some recent results on Burnside's problems.
