Book excerpt: For centuries the robust Neanderthals dominated the northern European landscape, hunting, gathering and multiplying. With the arrival of the Cro-Magnon clans, the Neanderthal faced a new and more dangerous enemy that could threaten their very existence. Their plight is told in dramatic fashion in the historical fiction, The Last Neanderthal Clan. Tens of thousands of years ago, the earth is warming after a prolonged deep freeze and glaciers are melting. Rivers are flooded and mountain valleys are no longer filled with ice, allowing clans to travel to regions previously unexplored. These widely dispersed clans - Cro-Magnon, called northern clans, and Neanderthal, called southern clans - encounter each other in the exploration. The most dominate among them, the Cro-Magnon clan called the Nord Clan, have developed traditions that encourage hunting and killing. Some clans resort to cannibalization. After Nord Clan leader, Carni, fathers a child with a Neanderthal woman and leaves the woman and child with her Neanderthal Clan, he leads his clan in search of Neanderthals in the quest to take slaves and hunt the warmer southern regions. Later, it falls upon that Neanderthal/Cro-Magnon child, Raka, to lead what remains of his clan on a quest for new hunting grounds and safety from the northern clans. Along the way, they must contend with the perils of the cave bear, the wooly mammoth, the cave lion and the threatening climate to ensure their survival.

Download or read book Culloden written by Tony Pollard and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2009-09-19 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of historians and archaeologists re-examine what happened at the Battle of Culloden between the Scottish Jacobites and Great Britain. In battle at Culloden Moor on April 16, 1746, the Jacobite cause was dealt a mortal blow. The power of the Highland clans was broken. And the image of sword-wielding Highlanders charging into a hail of lead delivered by the red-coated battalions of the Hanoverian army has passed into legend. The battle was a turning point in British history. And yet our perception of this critical episode tends to be confused by mistaken, sometimes partisan, views of the events on the battlefield. So, what really happened at Culloden? In this fascinating and original book, a team of leading historians and archaeologists reconsiders every aspect of the battle. They examine the latest historical and archaeological evidence, question every assumption, and rewrite the story of the campaign in vivid detail. This is the first time that such a distinguished team of experts has focused on a single British battle. The result is a seminal study of the subject, and it is a landmark publication of battlefield archaeology. Praise for Culloden “Culloden is one of the best documented British battles and also one of the most mapped, yet the contributions to this fine volume have succeeded in finding new material.” —Scotts Magazine (UK)
