Keen's Latin American Civilization By Robert Buffington, Lila Caimari
Publisher: Westview Press | ISBN: 0813344085 | edition 2008 | PDF | 536 pages | 3,5 mb
Keen’s Latin American Civilization introduces readers to the sweeping panorama of Latin American history through a classic collection of primary documents. More than 140 readings, organized chronologically and placed in context by insightful introductory notes and essays, provide vivid glimpses of life in Latin America from the Conquest to the colonial and republican eras to contemporary Latin America. In the ninth edition, editors Robert Buffington and Lila Caimari document dramatic recent changes in Latin America, including the resurgence of leftist governments in South and Central America, the feminization of politics from the grassroots to the presidency, the devastating effects of narco-trafficking and political corruption on law and order, and growing concerns about the environment.

Tony Buttler - British Secret Projects : Jet Bombers Since 1949
Midland | 2003 | ISBN: 185780130X | 225 pages | PDF | 102.98 MB
This long awaited title is a natural successor to the author's successful volume on fighters. The design and development of the British bomber since World War II is covered in similar depth and again the emphasis is placed on the tender design competitions between projects from different companies. Extensive reference has been made to recently- declassified archives in national and industry collections, which allows many little known projects to be brought together within a full narrative of bomber development. The design backgrounds to the V-Bomber program, Canberra, Buccaneer, Avro 730, TSR.2, Harrier, Jaguar and Tornado are revealed in more detail than has probably ever been published, but attention is also given to anti-submarine types and stillborn programs such as the RAF's first requirement for a low level bomber and the AFVG. The book includes many previously unpublished illustrations plus specially commissioned renditions of might-have-been types in contemporary markings. Keith Woodcock's cover painting shows how the Avro 698 might have looked in service had it not been turned into the famous Vulcan.

Tony Buttler - British Secret Projects : Jet Fighters Since 1950
Midland | 2000 | ISBN: 1857800958 | 178 pages | PDF | 51.76 MB
A large number of fighter projects have been drawn by British companies over the last fifty years, but very few have turned into hardware, and very little has been published about these fascinating "might-have-beens." This book makes extensive use of previously unpublished, primary-source material-much recently declassified. It gives an insight into a secret world where the public has had little idea of what was going on, while at the same time presenting a coherent nationwide picture of fighter development and evolution. Particular emphasis is placed on tender design competitions and some of the events that led to certain aircraft either being canceled or produced. Some of the many and varied types included are the Hawker P.1103/P.1136/P.1121 series, and the Fairey "Delta III". The book includes many illustrations, plus specially commissioned renditions of "might-have-been" types in contemporary markings. For military history enthusiasts.

Church History in an Age of Uncertainty: Historiographical Patterns in the United States, 1906 - 1990
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press | ISBN: 0809316218 | edition 1991 | CHM | 296 pages | 1,15 mb
Essential to Catholic, Protestant, and even secular scholars of American religious history this is the first historiographical analysis of the work of Henry K. Rowe, James H. Nichols, Leonard J. Trinterud, H. Shelton Smith, John T. McNeill, Herbert W. Schneider, Robert T. Handy, John T. Ellis, and Jaroslav Pelikan.
Aware that every generation rewrites history, Bowden bases his investigation of major twentieth-century church historians on two questions: Why are young historians dissatisfied with earlier treatments? What leads them to believe their version is better?...

Н. Непомнящий: Военные загадки Третьего рейха
Russian | ISBN: 5783811238 | 2002 | 462 Pages | PDF | 1,6 MB
Книга повествует о самых разных сторонах и эпизодах Второй мировой войны: о роли оккультизма в жизни Третьего рейха и экспедициях нацистов в Тибет; о зловещем приказе № 270 и штрафных батальонах; о секретах Пенемюнде и тайнах дрезденских сокровищ; о гибели "Красной капеллы", судьбах генерала Паулюса и капитана Маринеско... Причем, что особенно ценно, в книге представлены взгляды "с обеих сторон". Большинство героев и антигероев этих очерков давно стали тенями потустороннего мира. Однако они так повлияли на судьбы мира и жизнь человечества, что мы и по сей день разбираемся в хитросплетениях их деяний...
