Synopsis

In "The Greatest Novels by O. Douglas," Anna Buchan offers a meticulously crafted exploration of the literary contributions of her pseudonymous brother, O. Douglas (a pen name for the Scottish author, Anna Buchan herself). The book serves not only as a critical assessment of Douglas'Äôs works but also engages with the broader literary context of early 20th-century Scottish fiction. Buchan intertwines her analysis with rich biographical insights and an evocative narrative style that reflects the charm and complexity of her brother's writing. With an eye for detail, she encapsulates themes of identity, landscape, and the human experience, showcasing how Douglas'Äôs novels resonate with cultural and social mores of their time. Anna Buchan was profoundly influenced by her family'Äôs literary background and the scenic landscapes of Scotland, which permeate her brother's writing. As the sister of John Buchan, another prominent literary figure, she grew up amid literary discourse, which undoubtedly shaped her approach as both a writer and critic. Her dedication to illuminating the depth of O. Douglas'Äôs work signifies her commitment to capturing the essence of Scottish literature, portraying both the author and his narratives with warmth and reverence. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Scottish literature, providing a unique glimpse into the soul of O. Douglas'Äôs novels while celebrating the nuanced craft of storytelling. Buchan's thoughtful examination encourages readers to engage with the texts on multiple levels, making it an enriching addition for students, scholars, and casual readers alike who wish to deepen their appreciation of a sometimes-overlooked literary voice.

    CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF. Those words, scratched on parchment in 1789, open the US Constitution's First Amendment. From them, countless interpretations have been drawn. As a consequence, an astonishing variety of activities in modern America—prayer after football games, Bible reading in classrooms, company healthcare policies, the baking of wedding cakes, and Ten Commandment displays around courthouses—have been alternately authorized, prohibited, or modified. 
     
     
     
    In this compelling historical account, Chris Beneke explains how the religion clauses came into existence and how they were woven into American culture. He brings prominent early national figures to life, including George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Paine, while chronicling the First Amendment's relationship to defining social conditions like slavery, civility, family life, and the free market. 
     
     
     
    Going beyond traditional church-state scholarship, Beneke also demonstrates how white women, African Americans, Roman Catholics, Jews, and nonbelievers widened religious liberty's application and illuminated its boundaries. In doing so he makes a groundbreaking contribution to both constitutional history and the history of American pluralism.

    A detailed and fully illustrated look at aerial combat in the closing year of WWII across all theaters of conflict. The final year of World War II witnessed the decline of the piston-engine fighter and the beginning of the jet age. Taking to the skies were tried-and-true fighters, improved versions of old aircraft, and newly developed jets, including prototypes that flew for the first time just before the war ended.   In Air Combat 1945, historian Donald Nijboer examines these dynamic aircraft through hundreds of wartime photographs depicting operations across Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific. This volume covers American Mustangs, Thunderbolts, and Shooting Stars; British Tempests, Spitfires, and Gloster Meteors; German Fw 190s, Bf 109Ks, and Messerschmitt Me 262s; Japanese Ki 100s, Raidens, and Tojos; and many more.
