British Canal System

Sinopse

Britain's Industrial Revolution was propelled by more than just factories; the British Canal System played a vital role. This book examines how a network of man-made waterways reshaped Britain's economic landscape, facilitating the distribution of raw materials and finished goods before railways dominated. 

 
The "canal mania" period saw rapid expansion, driven by the Bridgewater Canal's success. Efficient transportation became a catalyst for industrial growth, enabling cost-effective movement of bulk goods and unlocking economic expansion. 

 
The book delves into the engineering feats of canal construction, detailing locks, tunnels, and aqueducts. It explores the economic impact on industries like coal mining and textiles, using tonnage records and cost analyses to quantify the waterways' influence. 

 
By examining the pre-industrial transport limitations and the canals' subsequent decline with railway competition, the book provides a comprehensive view. Each chapter progresses chronologically, from the early canals to their lasting legacy and modern recreational use.

Wicked Charleston - The Dark...

Mark R. Jones

Wicked Charleston: The Dark Side of the Holy City, by local resident and tour guide Mark R. Jones, explores the dark alleys and seedy characters not often associated with the Charleston of today. 
 
 
 
A beautiful Southern city distinguished by its opulent homes, towering church steeples, and hospitality, Charleston, South Carolina, has long been associated with the genteel side of Southern living. However, beyond the outward appearances that most people associate with Charleston, there is another side that most visitors and residents would dare not believe is part of the very fabric from which the city's history was woven. From the sexual escapades of an original Lord Proprietor and the comings and goings of the most notorious pirates, to secret brothels and nightclubs, Jones leads the reader back to a time when "drinking, eating, and whoring with more than fifty wenches" was perhaps more common in the Holy City than one may imagine.

Vikrant Pande

The flat plains of Panipat had seen the battle in 1526 and 1555 where Babar defeated Ibrahim Lodi and Akbar defeated the Afghan army led by Hemchandra, aka Hemu, who was captured and beheaded by Behram Khan.
Now two and half centuries later, two mega armies stood waiting for a battle.
What kind of enemy's strength are we talking of? There are many records, one of them is written by Kasiraj, a sixty year old man, who was part of Bhau's huge army. He wrote his Kasiraj bakhar, nearly nineteen years after the war. He estimates Abdali's men to be around eighty thousand while the Marathas had seventy thousand. There are many historians who have given different figures but what we are looking is the fact that they two armies were well matched.
