Sinopse

Aqueduct Systems History explores how ancient civilizations like the Romans, Persians, and Incas ingeniously solved the problem of water scarcity through the construction of elaborate aqueduct systems. These systems were more than mere infrastructure; they were vital to the growth and sustainability of these empires. For example, Roman aqueducts, known for their scale, supported urban sanitation and public health. Persian Qanat systems, on the other hand, prioritized sustainability in arid environments. The book delves into the historical, social, and technological contexts that enabled these engineering feats, highlighting their unique designs and construction methods. It reveals how these ancient technologies laid the foundation for modern water management practices, offering valuable lessons in sustainable engineering and resource management relevant to today's challenges of water scarcity and climate change. Structured with case studies, the book progresses from fundamental hydraulic principles to in-depth analyses of each civilization's approach. By examining archaeological findings, historical texts, and engineering analyses, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of these ancient marvels and their lasting impact on contemporary engineering. It uniquely compares aqueduct systems across cultures, offering insights for students, professionals, and anyone interested in history, technology, or environmental studies.

In each episode of The Great American West, we explore the facts, myths and the fiction about significant events or historical figures in our western heritage. You’ll hear stories about Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Jesse James, Bell Star, Annie Oakley and many others. The stories were written by a group of ex-Hollywood writers and American West history experts. The Great American West stories were written only with facts and no theory. These stories were crafted prior to the advent of the internet, meaning they had to read books, periodicals and transcripts. The idea was to let the listener make up their own minds.

Our fine cadre of writers was headed by our lead writer, Patty Sprigg, who wrote for NBC television, The Daniel Boone and Disney shows among others. Nancy Bacon who wrote for NBC and David Nivens Four Star Productions. Rounding out our stable of writers was Ted Bryant, news anchor, political analyst and historical scholar.
We hope you enjoy listening to The Great American West as we really enjoyed voicing these shows.

Triumphant Fox - Erwin Rommel...

Samuel W Mitcham

A military historian examines the strategic cunning of Erwin Rommel’s first campaign in North Africa during WWII. The legend of “The Desert Fox,” German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, was forged in the North African desert conflicts of World War II. It was here, as commander of Germany’s Afrika Korps, that Rommel ignored orders from German High Command and launched his infamous West Desert campaign into Cyrenaica, now eastern Libya.  Driving his exhausted Panzer forces with his indomitable will, Rommel swept through North Africa, where he brought the British Eighth Army to the brink of defeat. Although ultimately curtailed by supply shortages and logistics problems, Rommel nearly claimed the entire region for Hitler. In this stirring account of Rommel’s first campaign, Samuel W. Mitcham, Jr. takes the reader into his subject's strategy, mindset and viewpoints.
