Squalus Disaster The: The...

Charles River Editors

Given that there’s such little margin for error in a submersible, many submarine losses remain sources of intrigue and mystery, but in American history, few rival the tragedy and drama aboard the Squalus in 1939. On May 23 of that year, the Squalus, one of the U.S. Navy’s newest submarines, was undertaking the latest in a series of test dives off the coast of New Hampshire. She had been commissioned less than three months before and represented the cutting-edge of new submarine technology. Provided with eight torpedo tubes and a three-inch deck gun, Squalus had a range of over 11,000 miles and was capable of running at over 20 knots on the surface. This was a formidable warship, and the test dives undertaken in May were a routine part of preparing the submarine for service.
After successfully completing a series of dives over the previous days, on the 23rd, the Squalus undertook practice for one of the most challenging maneuvers, a rapid dive performed while the sub was running at full speed on the surface. This was a vital procedure if the submarine was attacked unexpectedly by an aircraft or surface ship - it had to be able to dive quickly in any circumstances. This practice ensured that the crew, and the submarine, were fully prepared.
Tragically, during this test dive, the unthinkable happened: the rear section of Squalus flooded, and the submarine, without power, began to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. 26 men in the rear compartments died in the flooding, but 33 men in the forward compartments were still alive as Squalus came to rest on the ocean floor almost 250 feet below the surface.
The situation seemed hopeless to everyone but one naval officer, Lieutenant Commander Charles B. "Swede" Momsen.

From Aristotle to Christ - How...

Louis Markos

Credo Book Award Winner—Natural Theology
Discover how Aristotelian thought has shaped Christianity through history and remains relevant for Christians today
When Christians of any age, country, or denomination debate the nature of the good life, the soul, free will, or design, Aristotle lies behind their logic as well as their rhetoric. Although Aristotle did not have access to the Bible's special revelation, he made full use of general revelation to arrive at deep truths about the nature of God, human identity, and the universe. In the Catholic Middle Ages the spiritual vision that undergirded Dante's Divine Comedy was strongly indebted to Aristotle's cosmology, and in the Protestant Reformation and Enlightenment the social vision of a well-run state was equally indebted to his political science.
In a follow up to his well-loved book From Plato to Christ, renowned scholar Louis Markos takes us on a vigorous and celebratory journey through the work of Plato's greatest student, demonstrating Aristotle's often unacknowledged influence on the Christian faith. In Markos's hands, Aristotle is far from an irrelevant ancient philosopher but is instead an important conversation partner for some of history's greatest Christian thinkers and a thoughtful guide to today's most challenging questions.
With this book, you'll:

- Consider the influence of Aristotle's thought on the Christian faith,
- Carefully analyze several of Aristotle's best-known texts,
- Trace Aristotle's influence upon many key theologians in Christian history, and
- Understand Aristotle's continuing importance for Christians today.
This book is a perfect addition to any classroom that seeks to understand how classical thought intersects with Christianity, both past and present. Grab your copy today and explore the relationship between Aristotelian philosophy and Christianity.

The History of England

Jane Austen

The History of England from Henry IV to Charles I, by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.  N.B. There will be very few dates in this History! Jane Austen wrote The History of England in 1791, at the age of just 15, as a satirical parody of 18th-century historical textbooks.  It pokes fun at the apparent impartiality of contemporary historians and contains more opinions about the monarchs' relative characters than any facts or dates. The History of England was not published until 1922, more than a century after Austen's death.
