books by Tempus     books:     Tempus      Wife to the Bastard Hilda Lewis Tempus, 2007 Interesting insight into an obscure period I read this book years ago, but it's stuck in my mind ever since, so it was a delight to see it available again. The book is well written and the characters are vivid, their motivations clear, their actions consistent with their stories. The book covers the marriage ...             Pompeii: History, Life & Afterlife Roger Ling Tempus, 2005 Popular summary of current scholarship Pompeii was 700 years old when it and the surrounding region, were entombed during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Because of a difference in volcanic materials in which they are buried, lapilli vs. pyroclastic flows, most of items made of organic materials ...             We Speak No Treason II (We Speak No Treason S.) Rosemary Hawley Jarman Tempus, 2006 Pure magic One of my favourite books; I've read it several times in the last ten years and I'm thrilled to see a new edition. Beautiful, haunting, extremely moving. The novel is about the controversial and much vilified 'last Plantagent' Richard III. His story is told ...             Anne Neville: Queen to Richard III (England's Forgotten Queens series) Michael Hicks Tempus, 2007 A unique but flawed biography Anne Neville is one of the most poorly documented queens of England; Hicks originally doubted that he could find enough material. I applaud his effort, but 4 stars is somewhat generous: I award it for the uniqueness of the work and the lovely cover. This book should ...             The King's Pleasure Norah Lofts Tempus, 2007 Fabulous Book This is an incredible story about the life of Cathrine of Aragon, Henry VIII's first wife. The woman that came to England to marry Henry's older brother and then after his death married Henry against his father's wishes. The book tells about her support of the ...             Viking Clothing Thor Ewing Tempus, 2006 Thought-provoking survey of a specialized field Ewing's book is not designed as a how-to or a basic reference for reenactors. Instead, it surveys the current knowledge and scholarly thinking about Viking-era costume and challenges the reader to consider different theories that are consistent with the evidence. An ...             Eleanor the Queen Norah Lofts Tempus, 2007 A QUEEN OF LEGENDARY BEAUTY AND EXTRAORDINARY INTELLIGENCE..

Touted by the ...             Before Stalingrad: Barbarossa, Hitler's Invasion of Russia 1941 (Battles & Campaigns) David M. Glantz Tempus, 2003 Concise summary of Barbarossa to the Soviet Winter Offensive This is a concise, strategic overview of the Barbarossa campaign. Unlike many other works by David Glantz, this is a relatively light tome that can easily be read in 2-3 sittings and is more of a popular work and not a scholarly work. Don't get me wrong, there is a ...             Romanovs: Europe's Most Obsessive Dynasty Oliver Thomson Tempus, 2008 Welcome to Romanov 101 A fast read with basic information - a good book if you are just getting into this era. If you are already an avid reader about the Czars of Russia, and the Romanov Dynasty, you won't find a whole lot of new information here. I enjoyed the chapters on where churches, ...             Byzantium: A History John Haldon Tempus, 2005 Here's Johnny! This book is John Haldon's approach to a short Byzantine history for the general reader, and he does a good job of it. It is a scholarly book void of sensationalism, but without a lot of scholarly apparatus; for example, there are only seven brief footnotes. The ...             Champ in the Co The Ray Arcel Story John Jarrett Tempus, 2008 The Ray Arcel Story?? ok, this is a good book, but the title is misleading as there is not much info here on Ray Arcel. The book mainly covers the fighters who were trained by Arcel and associated with him directly or indirectly (Joe Louis for example) and there is relatively very little in ...             The Four Musketeers: The True Story of D'Artagnan, Porthos, Aramis & Athos Kari Maund, Phil Nanson Tempus, 2005 Serving the King I never knew that the main characters in "The Three Musketeers" were based upon actual people. The authors have spent quite a bit of time and trouble "digging up" information on the four men from the novel. D'Artagnan appears to have been the easiest, since he held a ...             Cnut: King of England 1016-1035 M.K. Lawson Tempus, 2004 Thorough Study of Little Known Episode in English History Lawson's coverage of the reign of Cnut and of the Danish conquest of England in the 11th century, is a thorough examination of a subject rarely covered in most histories of the island. About 50 years before the famous Norman Conquest of 1066, the Danish conquest was ...             The Unwritten Order: Hitler's Role in the Final Solution (Revealing History) Peter Longerich Tempus, 2005 Amazing research and analysis I bought this book as a follow-up on the David Irving-Deborah Lipstadt trial. Professor Lipstadt listed it, I believe, in the bibliography of her book on that same trial. Longerich was called as a special witness, along with Robert Jan Van Pelt. This book, to me, as a ...             The Olympic-Class Ships: Olympic, Titanic, Britannic (Revealing History) Mark Chirnside Tempus, 2004 very impressive I was very impressed with the depth of research and writing that Mark Chirnside has done on the subject of the WSL ships. This book is a great addition to any library. There were many new facts and annecdotes about the Olympic, Britannic, and Titanic that I did not ...          products you might be interested in search for books barbarossa, byzantium, campaigns, musketeers, olympic-class, stalingrad      geepe.com    web randomly chosen book: The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game
