  The Secret Lives of Single...

  For centuries, medieval history books have told the stories of noble queens, dutiful housewives, and cloistered nuns—but what about the single women who lived, worked, and thrived in medieval Europe? The Secret Lives of Single Medieval Women reveals the overlooked yet fascinating lives of middle age women who did not fit the conventional mold. From unmarried tradeswomen and widows to vowesses and nuns, these women carved their own paths in a world that often sought to define them by their marital status. 
   
  While medieval and Middle Ages society dictated that a woman's worth was tied to marriage and family, countless single women built lives of resilience and ingenuity. Some ran successful businesses, others devoted themselves to education or faith, and many simply found ways to survive within a rigid social structure. This book sheds light on their stories, proving that history is far richer and more complex than the narratives we've been told. 
   
  Whether running businesses, navigating religious life, or simply surviving societal expectations, these women played a crucial role in shaping medieval society. Rich with historical records, poetry, and legal documents, this medieval history book brings to light the personal stories of those often left out of traditional narratives.

  Sovok - (The Memoirs of a Liar)

  Kevin McKinney

  Sovok takes you on a front-row view of the transition from Soviet Union to liberated Russia, and her return back to today's tyranny. McKinney describes his interactions for over 20 years with dissidents, billionaires, mob bosses, presidents, bureaucrats, and political leaders, while he constantly breaks laws and bends rules, as do most of the people he works with. Sovok was described by one literary critic as "Jack Kerouac narrating the adventures of Thomas Pynchon's character, Tyrone Slothrop, only in Russia." For a less esoteric summary, a middle American went from washing dishes at a suburban Red Lobster to marrying a Soviet plutonium expert at the request of someone who was likely CIA. When US federal agencies threaten threaten him with prison sentences, the author proceeds to get embroiled in ever wilder escapades 
  By declaring itself to be the story a liar, the author prods the listener to question everyone and everything. Through personal anecdotes, a central theme of Sovok is that a network of loyal and moral friends can, and did, circumvent the world's strictest government regulations, defeat criminal syndicates, and make a lot of money while having more fun than most poor suckers know is possible.

  Dynastic Legacy explores the far-reaching influence of three of China’s most remarkable dynasties—the Song, Ming, and Qing—each of which played a pivotal role in shaping Chinese society, governance, innovation, and culture. From the artistic brilliance and technological advances of the Song, to the maritime exploration and architectural wonders of the Ming, to the imperial dominance and eventual collapse of the Qing, this book offers a comprehensive look at how dynastic leadership shaped the trajectory of Chinese history. 
  The Song Dynasty is renowned for ushering in an age of innovation, commerce, and cultural richness. It laid the foundation for modern banking, expanded printing technology, and saw a flourishing of Confucian philosophy and visual arts. The Ming Dynasty, famous for the Forbidden City and the voyages of Zheng He, emphasized stability, infrastructure, and defense—leaving a powerful legacy of order and cultural refinement. The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty, extended China’s borders to their greatest historical extent and governed through a complex yet effective administrative system—before internal decay and foreign pressure brought about its end. 
  With detailed accounts of key emperors, political shifts, societal structures, and enduring cultural contributions, Dynastic Legacy paints a vivid portrait of the challenges and triumphs that defined imperial rule. This volume offers readers an engaging and educational journey through the dynasties that shaped modern China, highlighting both the brilliance and the burdens of centralized power.

  New York State was a center of industry during World War II. New York aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. More than one fourth of all US warplanes came from New York drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere, holding the line in the deserts of North Africa and flying from aircraft carriers plying the vast Pacific Ocean. Others operated over the frozen tundra of Alaska and Siberia. New York aircraft flew tons of fuel, ammunition, and supplies over the treacherous Himalayan Mountains into China, relentlessly hounded enemy submarines and ships, and battered Axis strongholds all the way to victory.
