Archaic England - An Essay in Deciphering Prehistory from Megalithic Monuments Earthworks Customs Coins Place-names and Faerie Superstitions

Harold Bayley

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Archaic England," Harold Bayley offers a profound exploration of England's early history, tracing the intricate tapestry of its ancient cultures and traditions. With meticulous research and a narrative style that combines eloquence with scholarly rigor, Bayley delves into a range of subjects, from prehistoric artifacts to the customs that shaped the medieval landscape. His examination of archaeology, folklore, and linguistics not only contextualizes England's past but also reflects the broader literary currents of the early 20th century, when historical inquiry was increasingly interdisciplinary, challenging conventional narratives of national identity. Harold Bayley, a noted antiquarian and historian, was profoundly influenced by the rich cultural heritage of England. His extensive travels across the English countryside and his passion for uncovering the stories behind ancient artifacts cultivated his desire to illuminate the past for contemporary readers. Bayley's academic background in the humanities, coupled with his affinity for folklore, equipped him with a unique perspective to craft a work that significantly contributes to the understanding of archaic England and its impact on modern society. Engaging and enlightening, "Archaic England" is a must-read for history enthusiasts and scholars alike. Bayley's ability to weave together narratives of ordinary people and monumental events creates a vivid portrait of a bygone era. Readers seeking a deeper appreciation for the foundations upon which contemporary England stands will find this work both informative and inspiring.

Biggest Tank Battles of the...

Charles River Editors

World War I was the first truly industrial war, and it created a paradigm which reached its zenith with World War II and towards which virtually all equipment, innovation and training were dedicated throughout the Cold War and the remainder of the 20th century. To this day, modern warfare remains synonymous with tanks and mass infantry battles, although a confrontation of this nature has not occurred (except briefly during Operation Desert Storm) since World War II.  
	One of the most important breakthroughs in military technology associated with World War I, and certainly the one that continues to capture the public imagination, was the introduction of a war machine that came to dominate the face of land battles throughout most of the 20th century: the tank. As a concept, it was not revolutionary; in fact, it harkened back to classical antiquity and to the Middle Ages, such as the covered battering rams and testudos which had made frequent appearances on ancient battlefields. In essence, it was designed to solve the age-old problem of protecting infantry from enemy projectiles while remaining mobile.  
	The development of both modern artillery and machine guns, as well as the stalemate engendered by heavy fortifications and entrenchments, had hamstrung the mobility of infantry and cavalry and also left them both utterly vulnerable to defensive firepower. Since they were incapable of replying in kind, the tank was designed to bridge that gap. The tank’s armor, thick enough to withstand lateral fragmentation from exploding shells (although not direct hits) also made it virtually invulnerable to enemy rifle and machine gun fire, and its large tread meant that it could bridge trenches which would, at the very least, have delayed infantry substantially. As for the barbed wire entanglements and obstacles that severely delayed infantry and exposed them to enemy fire, tanks could simply drive right through it.

Coerced to Courageous - Taking...

K C Andrews

‘I was so busy keeping him happy I didn’t notice how long it had been since I’d seen my friends. I seemed to apologise for everything. I was constantly tense, holding my breath, trying to predict his mood. Slowly my world became smaller, darker and lonelier.’
Coercive Control is an insidious fog. The first ‘red flags’ are so small you don’t notice them: a simple remark about how to do something ‘the right way’ or a suggestion about how you should dress. He cares about where you are and who you are with.
We all want the perfect relationship, but for the courageous authors in Coerced to Courageous, their soulmate was more like checkmate.
The first ‘red flags’ of Coercive Control are so subtle you barely notice them. Eventually, he has driven away your friends and family, is making all the decisions and controlling the finances, and you are trapped. These brave, resilient, brilliant women share the tools that helped them escape and rebuild their lives. They want to encourage and empower you to break the chains of coercive control and create the life you deserve.
Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to rebuild successful lives using the power of story.
When we saw the impact on people’s lives of our first three books, the changes made, the hope in their hearts, the joy and gratitude for their new lives, we had to continue to share stories of hope, healing & recovery. There had to be a fourth book.
We applaud each of our authors for sharing their raw, vulnerable & courageous stories. Our hope is that these books will provide you with the tools to take back your power so you can rebuild your life the way you choose. Each step forward is a courageous move toward your new life filled with peace, happiness & achievement.
