Beschreibung

In "The Colonial Clippers," Basil Lubbock presents a meticulous exploration of the swift and elegant sailing ships that defined maritime commerce during the 19th century. Lubbock's narrative is interwoven with vivid maritime lore, technical details, and personal anecdotes that highlight the clippers' role in the golden age of sail. The book expertly captures the intricacies of ship design, the competitive spirit among builders and sailors, and the socio-economic conditions of the colonial period, all rendered in a detailed yet accessible literary style reminiscent of the era he depicts. Basil Lubbock was a renowned maritime historian and sailor, whose lifelong passion for the sea undoubtedly influenced this seminal work. Having spent years at sea and developing a keen understanding of marine engineering, Lubbock's scholarly pursuits were informed by personal experiences, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between nautical craftsmanship and the exploration of trade routes. This background allowed him to approach the subject of clippers not merely as a historian, but as an enthusiast deeply connected to the seafaring world. For readers fascinated by maritime history, "The Colonial Clippers" stands as an essential addition to the bookshelf. Lubbock's comprehensive research and engaging prose make this an invaluable resource for both scholars and enthusiasts alike, revealing the triumphs and challenges of these remarkable vessels that were emblematic of a transformative period in global trade and navigation.

    In a world where Rome never truly fell, the second breath of the republic surges outward—not by force, but by reason, resilience, and reform. 
    Pax Romana Reimagined continues the journey of the Concordian Republic as it navigates the growing pains of survival and rebirth. No longer content with merely holding the center, the republic expands outward: into the wild lands of Gaul, the intellectual depths of the East, and the shifting trade winds of Africa and Asia. 
    As new threats rise and old beliefs are tested, the republic embraces bold innovation: building roads that span continents, codifying a modern civic law, empowering inventors and women, and defending itself not only with legions, but with learning. This volume explores how a society reimagines its purpose—not around emperors or divine lineage, but through education, cooperation, and a vision that transcends borders. 
    From the volcanic ash of Vesuvius to the scrolls of a Silk Road senate, and from merchant councils to the homes of ordinary citizens, Pax Romana Reimagined reveals a republic reborn—stronger, wiser, and deeply human.

    “Beautifully written, funny, engaging, informative, helpful. Not only will you learn your magical name and how to work the crossroads, but you’ll also come away with reliable knowledge of witch gods, saints, history, and mythology. This book is a call to action: tend to the embers of witchcraft burning within you. Enchantment is the fire that can and will transform the world.” —Amanda Yates Garcia, author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch and host of the Between the Worlds podcast   Growing up in an endless sea of California suburbs, Asa West spent her childhood chasing visions she didn’t understand. When she found a guide to witchcraft in a tiny bookshop, she knew she’d found her calling. But it’s not easy to awaken your witch blood in a culture that laughs at magic and renders women powerless.   Bringing warmth, humor, and insight to a spiritual path that’s at once immeasurably ancient and continually reborn, Witch Blood Rising explores all the ways that witchcraft bubbles up from the blood of its devotees, from ancient myth to the glittery stories of Hollywood. Asa explores the art of living a witch’s life in all its magical aspects.  Witch Blood Rising is a celebration of witchcraft and how it has stubbornly kept itself alive in Western culture—and a call to action for all seekers who yearn for a witch’s life.
