Download or read book Henry III written by David Carpenter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in a ground-breaking two-volume history of Henry III's rule "Professor Carpenter is one of Britain's foremost medievalists...No one knows more about Henry, and a lifetime of scholarship is here poured out, elegantly and often humorously. This is a fine, judicious, illuminating work that should be the standard study of the reign for generations to come."--Dan Jones, The Sunday Times Nine years of age when he came to the throne in 1216, Henry III had to rule within the limits set by the establishment of Magna Carta and the emergence of parliament. Pacific, conciliatory, and deeply religious, Henry brought many years of peace to England and rebuilt Westminster Abbey in honor of his patron saint, Edward the Confessor. He poured money into embellishing his palaces and creating a magnificent court. Yet this investment in "soft power" did not prevent a great revolution in 1258, led by Simon de Montfort, ending Henry's personal rule. Eminent historian David Carpenter brings to life Henry's character and reign as never before. Using source material of unparalleled richness--material that makes it possible to get closer to Henry than any other medieval monarch--Carpenter stresses the king's achievements as well as his failures while offering an entirely new perspective on the intimate connections between medieval politics and religion.

Download or read book The Gold Coins written by Sa'lia Friend and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gold Coins is based on real event. A few names have been changed. Some of the places have been renamed. Much happened exactly as described. In other cases, I fictionalized some of the details to provide clarity. I also took liberty to fill in the blanks of my brain whenever I forgot some details. It is my hope that you will accept there is more to our existence than what we can see with our physical eyes. We tend to be skeptical about things we do not understand. That is healthy; however, I hope, you also possess a healthy curiosity and vivid imagination. Both are powerful tools that can open up a new world for you to explore. I am blessed to be connected with many people who proudly embrace woo woo-ness. These are every day, ordinary people. Some are wealthy. Some are working class. Some live hand to mouth as the spirit leads them. All live life to the fullest. Likewise, I am connected with religious people Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish. And, then I am connected with those who only believe in the science. Most of the time I only understand a nth of what they are saying but I appreciate that nth because it shows me yet another aspect of the Universe. It is because of the teachers in my life that I was finally able to write this book. I am a woo woo Christian that also believes in science. We only know a small portion of all there is to know and by connecting with each other, accepting each other, loving each other, forgiving each other and supporting each other will we be able to continue to exist as the human race. Be well and enjoy this gift of life!

Download or read book Gold Warriors written by Peggy Seagrave and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945, US intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. These, combined with Japanese treasure recovered during the US occupation, and with recovered Nazi loot, would create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. This 'Black Gold' gave Washington virtually limitless, unaccountable funds, providing an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries for more than fifty years.
Download or read book American Gold and Silver written by Dennis B. Tucker and published by Whitman Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every coin collector knows about the United States Mint's American Eagle bullion coins. But did you know that the Mint has produced more than 150 other collectible works of silver and gold bullion since the national Bicentennial in 1976? They include some of the most beautiful coins and medals ever engraved for the United States. Some were runaway best-sellers and made national headlines. Others are well-kept secrets. Many are sought by collectors and investors around the globe. Some are "sleepers" - underappreciated treasures with great potential waiting to be discovered. Now, award-winning author Dennis Tucker shares years of research and unique perspective in a colorful exploration of these amazing pieces of Americana. He takes you behind the scenes at the U.S. Treasury, into the engraving department of the U.S. Mint and the chambers of Congress, even to the White House, where questions about the nation's precious metals have been argued for generations. Inside you'll find a richly illustrated history of silver and gold in the coinage of colonial America and the United States. You'll see why silver and gold were difficult for the average American to acquire through most of our history. Learn about the American Arts gold medallion program of the early 1980s, and the U.S. Mint's recent American Buffalo, First Spouse, and America the Beautiful bullion programs. Bicentennial gold medals, the 2014 gold Kennedy half dollar, 1916-2016 centennial gold coins, silver Wildlife Refuge Service medals, the 9/11 national medal, and other important modern productions all are cataloged and described inside. Along the way Tucker shines light on a thousand people, places, and points in American history: military heroes and famous artists, awe-inspiring landmarks, fearless innovators, dreamers and doers.
Download or read book The Daily Stoic written by Ryan Holiday and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
