Sinopsis

Mary Shelley's "Lives of the Most Eminent Literary and Scientific Men & Women (Vol. 1-5)" is a remarkable exploration of the lives and contributions of pivotal figures in literature and science. With her characteristic Romantic style, Shelley weaves together biographical sketches that highlight the profound impact these individuals had on their respective fields. The work stands out not only for its literary merit but also for its thematic exploration of the interplay between creativity and intellect during an era marked by monumental changes in scientific thought and literary expression. Shelley's narrative is rich, engaging, and often reflective, inviting readers to consider the complexities of genius and morality in a rapidly evolving world. Mary Shelley, best known for her iconic novel "Frankenstein," was a trailblazer in her own right, deeply immersed in the intellectual currents of the early 19th century. Influenced by her friendships with pioneers like Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, her interest in the interplay of literature and science is palpable throughout this series. Her unique perspectives on gender, science, and art lend authenticity and depth to her biographical subjects, drawing upon her extensive literary knowledge and personal experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Shelley's "Lives of the Most Eminent Literary and Scientific Men & Women" to anyone interested in the intersection of literature, science, and history. This thought-provoking collection not only honors the legacy of great minds but also encourages contemporary readers to reflect on the enduring significance of their contributions. Shelley's eloquence and insight make this work an essential addition to the library of any literary scholar or enthusiast.

    Sunset, 8 June 1982, East Falkland. Eight specially trained Royal Marines infiltrate Goat Ridge, a long rocky hilltop between Mount Harriet and Two Sisters which are occupied by a battalion of 600 Argentine infantry. Their daring mission was to hide out in hostile territory, reconnoiter the Argentine position and then report back. From their hiding place just metres away from the enemy, they note and sketch the Argentine positions, then withdraw as stealthily as they had come. Their daring patrol provides essential intelligence that guided the British assault which overwhelmed the Argentine defences two days later.This was just one example of the missions undertaken by the Royal Marines Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre during the Falklands War, all of which are described in graphic detail in Rod Boswell's eyewitness account. Using his own recollections and those of his comrades, he describes their operations in the Falklands - the observation posts set up in the no man's land between San Carlos and Port Stanley, their role in the raid at Top Malo House, and the reconnaissance patrols they carried out close to the Argentine lines during the conflict.This celebrated first-hand account gives a fascinating insight into the operational skills of a small, specially trained unit and shows the important contribution it made to the success of the British advance. It also records the entire experience of the Falklands War from their point of view - the long voyage south through the Atlantic, the landings, the advance and the liberation of Stanley.For fans of Goose Green, Fighting for Queen and Country and First into Action.

    Nine Years Among the Indians is an autobiography of Herman Lehmann, who was an eleven-year-old boy when he was captured by a raiding party of eight to ten Apaches alongside his older brother Willie. The Apaches called Lehmann "En Da" (White Boy). He spent about six years with them and became assimilated into their culture, rising to the position of petty chief. As a young warrior, one of his most memorable battles was a running fight with the Texas Rangers on August 24, 1875, which took place near Fort Concho, about 65 miles west of the site of San Angelo, Texas.The phenomenon of a white child raised by Indians made Herman Lehmann a notable figure in the United States.
