I usually have a box in the sidebar of the blog with a pic of whatever I'm currently reading and I thought it would be an idea to summarise a random assortment of my reading matter over the last little while....
Flag 4 by Dudley Pope
If you have any interest in Coastal Naval Warfare in WW2 this is an excellent book. Focusing on action in the Mediterranean from North Africa, to Italy and finally to the Adriatic it's very readable and gives some great insights into these small but ferocious actions.
Len Deighton meets Love craft... Charles Stross' books are really fun and hugely entertaining...go and read them!
I'd previously read his book on the Wars of the Roses which I found both very clear and understandable given how messy and complex the WotR were. I was keen to read ths 'prequel' which obviously has a much wider historical range. Again he makes a very convoluted period of history seem much more understandable...perhaps simplifying too much in the process for some but as a primer it's well worth getting hold of.
Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz
This cropped up on one of my regular Amazon bargains emails so for £1 it seemed worth taking a punt. I'm never convinced by modern authors taking on previous works like this but I have to say this was an excellent read. Opening with Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty plunging to their 'deaths' at Reichenbach (oops...does that count as a spoiler!?) it moves to London and a quite dark and violent tale of murder and crime.
Britannia by Simon Scarrow
I've always enjoyed Simon Scarrow's books...pretty undemanding and fun reads...but I do think he's beginning to slip into Sharpe-mode with every minute of Macro and Cato's lives being filled with battles, plots and skulduggery...it must be very exhausting! This latest book is set in North Wales and sees our heroes besieging Anglesey. Like his other books it's easy and entertaining but it would be nice to see him produce something different.
The Princess Bridge by William Goldman
One of my favourite films (I annoy my wife and son by reciting dialogue whenever it's on...sad, I know) I wasn't sure what the original novel would be like but this was lovely. A knowing take on fantasy and fairy tales that still manages to be charming and fun.
Black Widow by Chris Brookmyre
Chris (up until recently billed as Christopher) Brookmyre is a brilliant Scottish writer.. part of the Tartan Noir genre. His earlier books ('A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away', 'All Fun and Games Till Someone Loses an Eye' etc) were very funny, violent thrillers, often featuring journalist, Jack Parlabane. An attempt was made a few years ago to produce a TV version with James Nesbit which sank without trace thankfully.
More recently he has produced a series of straighter police/detective novels as well as a couple of rather strange forays into SF/Fantasy..Pandaemonium and Bedlam (Bedlam especially didn't work in my opinion). Black Widow is another Parlabane novel and a very good return to form.
Bloodline by Conn Iggulden
This is the 3rd in his Wars of the Roses series...the first 2 were excellent so I'm looking forward to this one. I haven't started it yet but it was on sale for £3 the other week in WH Smiths so I couldn't resist buying it...the only downside was I had to buy a copy of the Telegraph as well but I've washed my hands since...
Us by David Nicholls
I'm part-way through this at the moment. David Nicholls has produced 3 novels which appear to be following my life...Starter for 10 about someone at uni in the 80s (just like me although I never appeared on Uni Challenge), One Day (about a couple who meet in the late 80s and which follows their relationship on the same day each year...not quite the same lives as my wife and I but some similarities) and finally Us about a couple who's son is about to leave for college...has he been stalking me?? To be fair the couple in Us are having a major relationship crisis and try to resolve it by travelling in Europe...we're off to Wales with the dogs and blissfully happy, looking forward to the peace and quiet when our son clears off to Uni!!


Know Your Soul: The Music of A Lifetime is simply about how the culture of the time created Black music and vice versa. Mankind chronicles the cultural history, but most of the music, and in this case Black music is a direct reflection of the culture elements of the time. The following are a few selections from the book that will give you a sense of this magical era.
“The 1960’s provided a political platform that reflected a nation in change and turmoil that delivered a new source of lyrical content for black music. This decade ushered in the dismantling of legal segregation, Vietnam War, nuclear gamesmanship, Inner-city rebellions, emergence of Black Pride, sexual permissiveness, Black Panthers, explosion in drug use/abuse and the assassinations of some of America’s most iconic leaders. All of these dramatic events provided emerging songwriters, producers and artists’ societal fodder from which to draw their creative inspiration”
“There was an incredible camaraderie that was created in Vietnam among the black soldiers that returned to the states and became part of American culture. Societal elements such as the extended handshakes, descriptors such as homeboy/hommie and strong racial pride were brought “back to the world”-the phrase used to describing coming back to the U.S.A. The song themes were about the soldier’s lost in battle, the craziness associated with war and the loneliness with those left in the States.”
“Although much of the Motown imagery is reflected in the precision of the Temptations, sophistication of the Supremes, elegance of Marvin Gaye and the vocal artistry of the Four Tops, the company was much more. As the story is retold the gritty soul, gutbucket sounds and the funky beats of Junior Walker, Shorty Long, Contours, Barrett Strong and others in the company stable should not be overlooked. Before they ascended into becoming the Sound of Young America, they were the soundtrack of Black America with the many changing musical styles and sounds that were Motown”.
‘The emphasis on racial pride transformed African-American culture, particularly in the arts, creating a cultural awakening that had not been seen since the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. From literature, poetry, cinema and most visibly music this new found quest for definition on their own term was being manifested. Musicians, as diverse as James Brown, Sly & the Family Stone, and Cannonball Adderley integrated the social events and ideology of the time in their music”.
“One can look at Soul Train as a television show, but it was so much more. It has been described as a transformative cultural moment that opened pages of America that were totally blank and virtually unavailable for people of color. It was pioneering, given it was the first show that African-Americans were the complete focal point and not an ancillary entertainment by-product. It visually depicted young black people celebrating themselves in a lively professional setting, which was consistent with the “for us by us” mentality that was developing during the time period. Orchestrated by the cool cosmopolitan look and vernacular of Don Cornelius, plus sponsored by one of the largest African-American own companies at the time, Johnson Products, the formula was established for success and successful, it definitely was”.
“Reinventing the language to enhance their self-worth or flipping a phrase that has historically been used as a negative term has been a cultural self-defense mechanism. Being trendsetters and creating new language is at the roots of African-American existence in this country. Very simply American culture is dominant in the world and black culture is a primary influencer in the United States”.
“The church and gospel music have been and continues to be the foundation for much of Black life. When the story of 20th century African-American music is told inherently it starts in the church, with the music of the gospel being foundational in the development of almost all genres. When opportunities and the possibilities of life were short for Black people, the church and gospel music were the hope for a brighter tomorrow. The gospel is defined in many diverse ways, but gospel and secular icon Mavis Staples distinctly defined gospel as “the truth”.


Looking to add a little flair to your room or office? Look no further – this canvas print has a vivid, fade-resistant print that you’re bound to fall in love with.
The Borgia Codex is the most famous of four pre-Colombian codices painted by Aztec Shaman scribes. The Borgia Codex features a page-by-page portrayal of the various divisions of the sacred 260 day calendar called the Tzolkin by the ancient Maya, and the Tonalpohualli by the Aztecs.
• 20.5 mil thick poly-cotton blend canvas
• Hand-stretched over solid wood stretcher bars
• Matte finish coating
On page 56 of the Borgia Codex, illustrated here, two of the Central Mexican creator gods are depicted back-to-back over an upside-down mask representing the underworld. On the left, the skeletal god of the underworld, Mictlantecuhtli, holds a scepter formed from a pustule-covered human arm.
On the right, the long-beaked wind god, Ehecatl (associated with both Venus and the Feathered Serpent) wears the cut shell and cone-shaped hat that are among his principal attributes.
The Feathered Serpent was a prominent supernatural entity or deity. It is called Quetzalcoatl among the Aztecs, Kukulkan by the Yucatec Maya, and Q’uq’umatz and Tohil among the K’iche’ Maya.


Developed by noted leaders and thought leaders in the world of change management since the last 25 years, Change Management Series offers three core modules geared toward skill development for senior managers tasked with managing large-scale organizational changes and internal instability. These include: Change Research, Change Strategies, and Change Management Models. This book series is designed to provide training for managers who need to learn about these concepts and how to apply them to their own organizations. In my opinion, this book series needs a more comprehensive format that would include a chapter on leadership and its components as well as one or two chapters addressing the organization and business processes that support change.
Change Research. This particular topic deals with the study of organizational culture and motivation. These materials available in Change Management Series deal primarily with understanding organizational behavior. You will be introduced to various case studies dealing with high performance cultures. It then moves on to discussing the cultural components of leadership, communication, conflict resolution, compensation, and team building.
Change Strategies. Change Strategies covers strategic thinking and the development of vision, purpose, and actions for organizational change. The book begins with an introduction to the concept and definition of change, followed by explanations of five different perspectives on what each perspective is, and finally it addresses five basic models of change management training. The final chapter of this book reviews the process of change management training. Change Research. This particular chapter looks at ten areas related to change research including cultural evolution, organizational psychology, personality genetics, situational psychology, organizational structure, organizational neuroscience, cultural systems, and change management theory.
Effective Change Management Training. In the second chapter of this book, we look at five different training models and discuss how they are related to the five mentioned in the previous chapter. The authors also go over how different models relate to the five main areas that were covered previously in the book. The focus of this chapter was to compare and contrast the five models, what each model's strengths and weaknesses are, and finally review some of the key points regarding effective change management training.
Learning Objectives. The third chapter of the book briefly goes over what learning objectives are and what you should do when creating one. These objectives are related to creating a vision and specifying the desired end state for the change process. Next the authors describe the five learning objectives that you can use in your own organization. The five learning objectives include vision, mission, role, responsibilities, and role model.
Creating a Vision. As discussed in the previous chapters, leaders need to have a vision of what their organization will look like in a certain period of time, and they need to specify an end state for the entire change process. In the third chapter, the authors briefly discuss the vision process and the importance of defining the vision and describing it in detail. They then go on to explain how leaders should begin the vision process by describing what they want their organization to look like at the end of the upcoming period of change. Next, they discuss how leaders should specify the vision in writing, giving specific details about the goals, services, and any other specifics that are critical to the vision. After creating the vision and describing the goal for the organization in detail, the authors recommend developing a strategy to make sure that the vision is aligned with the organizational goals.
The Role of Employees. The fourth chapter of the book provides some management training tips on the actual role of employees in a change management process. It starts out with an explanation of how employees actually affect the process, including their attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, skills, and experience. Then the authors go into describing what a business leaders job is to be during the change process, including managing expectations, delegating tasks, communicating with employees, getting information across, preparing for change, and finally performing quality work. The book then provides some practical exercises for business leaders to help them effectively manage change.
Change Management Training Tips. The fifth chapter of the book describes the proper way for managers to evaluate employees during change. The author then gives managers several examples to illustrate how evaluating employees during change can be done effectively. Finally, the author closes the book by describing some best practices for managers to use during their management training programs. The book ends with a recommended guide for business leaders to help them effectively manage change.

Sidin Vadukut’s “The Sceptical Patriot” is the type of book that needs to be in Indian school libraries. In it, he explores the truthfulness of many of the facts that we “know” about India ranging from the invention of zero to plastic surgery. A civilization as ancient as the one in the subcontinent is bound to have many myths and legends, overgrown by hearsay and exaggeration. A course correction is, at times, needed.
In a work vastly more different than his satirical Dork series, Vadukut has matured as an author to move towards an alternate plane. The Sceptical Patriot is not meant for avid historians, but for beginners who are fascinated by many things Indian. The research done is excellent and for most part he sticks to the points being discussed. While it is easy for many writers to focus too much on research and bring out a boring technical book, Vadukut has managed to add just the right bit of humor to keep the average reader interested. He adds a personal touch as well, bringing in anecdotes from his life. While the connect between the anecdotes and the content are at times disjointed, they do well in humanizing the content.
A two chapter summation may sound too much, but it justifies the need for the book. It is often said history is written by the winners, but unless you kill off the losers like the way we killed off the Neanderthals, it is likely that their history will survive, creating a confusing version of the world. For example, have you ever thought why the only two people who would go for ritual circumcision in the modern world prior to Moses were the Egyptians and the Jews? For those really interested in history there are, for most part, material available for finding the truth. However, when history gets taught by the winners, it manages to imbibe itself into a society that may have otherwise rejected it.
The Sceptical Patriot do not seek to rewrite history textbooks, but it keeps the student open to more ideas. And for that it needs to be in Indian school libraries.

Getting into college is what parents hope for their children. As for students, it is a good place to start a new life, make new friends and get exposed to the outside world. However, college may not be as fun as one thought it would be especially when it comes to the professors.
Some professors are easy, still spoon-feed sometimes and kind and generous. However, not all professors are like this. In fact, each professor has his own style of teaching. So, how do we deal with unhelpful college professors?
Unfortunately, if professors don’t help, we just have to help ourselves to graduate. First of all, among our group of friends, there must be someone who is good in a subject. Why not sit and learn with him/her? Find a comfortable place, the library, the cafe or anywhere that makes both of you comfortable to be in the learning ‘atmosphere’. Sometimes, what our friends teach us is much easier to understand rather than when the professor is delivering in class. Apart from that, I would also suggest you to go and seek information from other professors. There are at least a few professors that teach a particular subject if the subject has many classes. So, why not go and see what the other professors can offer you?
Besides that, I believe that every university or college has its own library to students for easy references. There is a wide range of books that may contain specific topics that you are looking for. Just look through the shelves or if the library has its own database system that allows access to students, you could use it to locate the books you want to find. It would be much easier that way. Choose the book that suits you best with your level of understanding. Due to limited time that is given to borrow books from the library, I suggest that you photocopy the content that you want for future references. By doing this, at least you do not have to go and find the book again when you need references on the same topic.
In this era of science and technology, the computer and Internet is always there to help. The Internet covers a wide range of topics, from economics to science to entertainment and almost everything under the sun. Thus, you could use the Internet to find the information you want. Everything is at your finger tips and just a click away. If you are not really the reading kind of person, maybe you could go into YouTube and watch a video on the topic you want. Trust me, I’ve tried that and sometimes it works. However, do not be disappointed if you can’t find your topic on YouTube. There are a lot of places where you can find things.
Well, at the end of the day, all I can say is, if people can’t help you, you’ve got to help yourself! Your success in life all depends on your effort to succeed.


"When General Lee requested me to make a copy of this letter, he remarked it was but right for him to set an example of making a formal submission to the civil authorities, and that he thought, by do doing, he might possibly be in a better position to be of use to the Confederates who were not protected by military paroles, especially Mr. Davis"
Colonel Charles Marshall [a grandson of Chief Justice Marshall, and Lee's military secretary] says:
"...He (General Lee) set to work to use his great influence to reconcile the people of the South to the hard consequences of their defeat, to inspire them with hope, to lead them to accept, freely and frankly, the government that had been established by the result of the war, and thus relieve them from the military rule.... The advice and example of General Lee did more to incline the scale in favour of a frank and manly adoption of that course of conduct which tended to the restoration of peace and harmony than all the Federal garrisons in all the military districts."
My father was at this time anxious to secure for himself and family a house somewhere in the country. He had always had a desire to be the owner of a small farm, where he could end his days in peace and quiet. The life in Richmond was not suited to him. He wanted quiet and rest, but could not get it there, for people were too attentive to him. So in the first days of June he mounted old Traveller and, unattended, rode down to "Pampatike"--some twenty-five miles--to pay a visit of several days to his relations there. This is an old Carter property, belonging then and now to Colonel Thomas H. Carter, who, but lately returned from Appomattox Court House, was living there with his wife and children. Colonel Carter, whose father was a first cousin of General Lee's, entered the Army of Northern Virginia in the spring of 1861, as captain of the "King William Battery," rose grade by grade by his skill and gallantry, and surrendered in the spring of 1865, as Colonel and Chief of Artillery of his corps at that time. He was highly esteemed and much beloved by my father, and our families had been intimate for a long time.
"Pampatike" is a large, old-fashioned plantation, lying along the Pamunkey River, between the Piping Tree and New Castle ferries. Part of the house is very old, and, from time to time, as more rooms were needed, additions have been made, giving the whole a very quaint and picturesque appearance. At the old-fashioned dinner hour of three o'clock, my father, mounted on Traveller, unannounced, unexpected, and alone, rode up to the door. The horse and rider were at once recognised by Colonel Carter, and he was gladly welcomed by his kinsfolk. I am sure the days passed here were the happiest he had spent for many years. He was very weary of town, of the incessant unrest incident to his position, of the crowds of persons of all sorts and conditions striving to see him; so one can imagine the joy of master and horse when, after a hot ride of over twenty miles, they reached this quiet resting-place. My father, Colonel Carter tells me, enjoyed every moment of his stay. There were three children in the house, the two youngest little girls of five and three years old. These were his special delight, and he followed them around, talking baby-talk to them and getting them to talk to him. Every morning before he was up they went into his room, at his special request, to pay him a visit. Another great pleasure was to watch Traveller enjoy himself. He had him turned out on the lawn, where the June grass was very fine, abundant, and at its prime, and would allow no cord to be fed to him, saying he had had plenty of that during the last four years, and that the grass and the liberty were what he needed. He talked to Colonel Carter much about Mexico, its people and climate; also about the old families living in that neighbourhood and elsewhere in the State, with whom both Colonel Carter and himself were connected; but he said very little about the recent war, and only in answer to some direct question.
About six miles from "Pampatike," on the same river and close to its banks, is "Chericoke," another old Virginia homestead, which had belonged to the Braxtons for generations, and, at that time, was the home of Corbin Braxton's widow. General Lee was invited to dine there, and to meet him my brother, cousin, and I, from the White House, were asked, besides General Rosser, who was staying in the neighbourhood, and several others. This old Virginia house had long been noted for its lavish hospitality and bountiful table. Mrs. Braxton had never realised that the war should make any change in this respect, and her table was still spread in those days of desolation as it had been before the war, when there was plenty in the land. So we sat down to a repast composed of all the good things for which that country was famous. John and I did not seem to think there was too much in sight-- at any rate, it did not daunt us, and we did our best to lessen the quantity, consuming, I think, our share and more! We had been for so many years in the habit of being hungry that it was not strange we continued to be so awhile yet. But my father took a different view of the abundance displayed, and, during his drive back, said to Colonel Carter:
"Thomas, there was enough dinner to-day for twenty people. All this will now have to be changed; you cannot afford it; we shall have to practise economy."
In talking with Colonel Carter about the situation of farmers at that time in the South, and of their prospects for the future, he urged him to get rid of the negroes left on the farm--some ninety-odd in number, principally women and children, with a few old men--saying the government would provide for them, and advised him to secure white labour. The Colonel told him he had to use, for immediate needs, such force as he had, being unable at that time to get whites. Whereupon General Lee remarked:


We have purchased the archives of two black American newspapers: The Baltimore Afro-American (1893-1988) and New York Amsterdam News (1922-1993). Both appear in the library catalogue and LibGuides (including our A-Z list of databases).
Founded by former slave John Henry Murphy, Sr. when he merged three church publications, The Baltimore Afro-American became one of the most widely circulated African-American newspapers on the Atlantic Coast. In addition to featuring the first black female reporter (Murphy's daughter) and female sportswriters, the papers contributors have included writer Langston Hughes, intellectual J. Saunders Redding, artist Romare Bearden, and sports editor Sam Lacy, whose column influenced the desegregation of professional sports. Through the decades, the newspaper fought for equal employment rights, urged African-American participation in politics, and advocated state-funded higher education for blacks. In the 1930s, The Afro-American launched The Clean Block campaign, which is still in existence today, to clean up inner-city neighbourhoods and fight crime. It stationed correspondents in Europe and the Pacific during World War II, providing first-hand reports to readers. In the 1950s, working with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the newspapers efforts contributed to the outlawing of public school segregation.
From an initial $10 investment, the New York Amsterdam News grew to become one of the nations leading black newspapers and one of New Yorks most influential black-owned institutions. For nearly a century, it has helped influence and promote the causes and aspirations of African-Americans. The New York Amsterdam News captured the vibrancy and cultural richness of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s, advocated for the desegregation of the U.S. military during World War II, and fought against discriminatory employment practices and other civil rights abuses in the 1960s.


The Children's Crusade is the name given to a variety of fictional and factual events which happened in 1212 that combine some or all of these elements: visions by a French or German boy; an intention to peacefully convert Muslims in the Holy Land to Christianity; bands of children marching to Italy; and children being sold into slavery.
A study published in 1977 cast doubt on the existence of these events and many historians now believe that they were not (or not primarily) children but multiple bands of "wandering poor" in Germany and France, some of whom tried to reach the Holy Land and others who never intended to do so. Early versions of events, of which there are many variations told over the centuries, are largely apocryphal.
Version of events
The long-standing piece of the Children's Crusade, of which there are few variations, is some version of events with similar themes. A boy began preaching in either France or Germany claiming that he had been visited by Jesus and told to lead a Crusade to peacefully convert Muslims to Christianity. Through a series of supposed portents and miracles he gained a considerable following, including possibly as many as 30,000 children. He led his followers south towards the Mediterranean Sea, in the belief that the sea would part on their arrival, allowing him and his followers to march to Jerusalem, but this did not happen. Two merchants gave "free" passage on boats to as many of the children as were willing. They were then either taken to Tunisia and sold into slavery, or died in a shipwreck on San Pietro Island off Sardinia during a gale. Some may have failed to reach the sea, dying or giving up from starvation and exhaustion.
According to more recent research there seem to have actually been two movements of people (of all ages) in 1212 in Germany and France. The similarities of the two allowed later chroniclers to combine and embellish the tales.
In the first movement, Nicholas, a shepherd from the Rhineland in Germany and possessed of an extraordinary power of speech, tried to lead a group across the Alps and into Italy in the early spring of 1212. Nicholas promised that the sea would dry up before them and allow his followers to cross into the Holy Land. Rather than believing he could somehow fight the Saracens, however, he claimed that the Moslem kingdoms would be defeated when their citizens converted to Christianity. His disciples went off to preach the call for the "Crusade" across the German lands, and they amassed in Cologne after a few weeks. Splitting into two groups, the crowds took different roads through Switzerland. Two out of every three people on this ghastly journey died, while many others returned to their homes. About 7,000 arrived in Genoa in late August. They immediately marched to the harbor, expecting the sea to divide before them; when it did not many became bitterly disappointed. A few accused Nicholas of betraying them, while others settled down to wait for God to change his mind, since they believed that it was unthinkable he would not eventually do so. The Genoese authorities were impressed by the little band, and they offered citizenship to those who wished to settle in their city. Most of the would-be Crusaders took up this opportunity. Nicholas refused to admit defeat and traveled to Pisa, his movement continuing to break up along the way. He and a few loyal followers continued to the Papal States, where Pope Innocent III treated them kindly enough. The remaining ones departed for Germany after the Pontiff told them to be good and return home. Nicholas did not survive the second attempt across the Alps; back home his father was arrested and hanged under pressure from angry families whose relatives had perished while following the child.
Some of the most dedicated members from this Crusade were later reported to have wandered to Ancona and Brindisi, although none reached the Holy Land.
The second movement was led by a twelve year old French shepherd boy named Stephan of Cloyes, who claimed in June that he bore a letter for the king of France from Jesus. Large gangs of youth around his age were drawn to him, most of whom claimed to possess special gifts of God and thought themselves miracle workers. Attracting a crowd of over 30,000 people, some adults and children alike, he went to Saint-Denis, where he was seen to cause miracles. On the orders of Philip II, taken from the advice of the University of Paris, the people were implored to return home. Philip himself did not appear impressed, especially since his unexpected visitors were led by a mere child, and refused to take them seriously. Stephan, however, was not dissuaded, and began preaching at a nearby abbey. From Saint-Denis, Stephan traveled around France, spreading his messages as he went, promising to lead charges of Christ to Jerusalem. Although the Church was skeptical, many adults were impressed by his teaching. Still, few of those who initially joined him possessed his activeness; it is estimated that there were less than half the initial 30,000 remaining, a figure that was shrinking rapidly, rather than growing as perhaps anticipated.
At the end of June 1212, Stephan led his largely juvenile Crusaders from Vendôme to Marseilles. They survived by begging for food, while the vast majority seems to have been disheartened by the hardship of this journey and returned to their families.
Template:Crusade Recent research suggests the participants were not children, at least not the very young. The confusion started because later chroniclers, who were not witness to the events of 1212 and who were writing 30 years or more later, began to translate the original accounts and misunderstood the Latin word pueri, meaning "boys", to mean literally "children". The original accounts did use the term pueri but it had a derogatory slang meaning, as in calling an adult man a "boy" can be condescending. In the early 13th century, bands of wandering poor started cropping up throughout Europe; these were people displaced by economic changes at the time which forced many peasants in northern France and Germany to sell their land—they were often referred to as pueri in a condescending manner. This mistaken literal interpretation of pueri as "children" gave rise to the idea of a "Children's Crusade" by later authors who found the story too good not to be true, particularly with so much public support and interest in crusading. Within a generation or two after 1212, the idea of children going on crusade became ingrained in history, retold countless times over the centuries with many different versions, and only in the 20th century has the myth been re-examined by looking at the earliest sources (see Historical studies below).
According to Peter Raedts, professor in Medieval History at the Radboud University of Nijmegen, there are only about 50 sources from the period that talk about the crusade, ranging from a few sentences to half a page. Raedts categorizes the sources into three types depending on when they were written:
- Contemporary sources written by 1220;
- Sources written between 1220 and 1250 (the authors could have been alive at the time of the crusade but wrote their memories down later);
- Sources written after 1250 by authors who received their information second or third hand.
Raedts does not consider the sources after 1250 to be authoritative, and of those before 1250, he considers only about 20 to be authoritative. It is only in the later non-authoritative narratives that a "children's crusade" is implied by such authors as Vincent of Beauvais, Roger Bacon, Thomas of Cantimpré, Matthew Paris and many others.
Prior to Raedts' 1977 study, there had only been a few historical publications researching the Children's Crusade. The earliest were by Frenchman G. de Janssens (1891) and German R. Röhricht (1876). They analyzed the sources but did not analyze the story. American medievalist Dana Carleton Munro (1913–14), according to Raedts, provided the best analysis of the sources to date and was the first to significantly provide a convincingly sober account of the Crusade sans legends. Later, J. E. Hansbery (1938–9) published a correction of Munro's work, but it has since been discredited as based on an unreliable source. German psychiatrist Justus Hecker (1865) did give an original interpretation of the crusade, but it was a polemic about "diseased religious emotionalism" that has since been discredited.
P. Alphandery (1916) first published his ideas about the crusade in 1916 in an article, which was later published in book form in 1959. He considered the crusade to be an expression of the medieval cult of the Innocents, as a sort of sacrificial rite in which the Innocents gave themselves up for the good of Christendom; however he based his ideas on some of the most untrustworthy sources.
Adolf Waas (1956) saw the Children's Crusade as a manifestation of chivalric piety and as a protest against the glorification of the holy war. H. E. Mayer (1960) further developed Alphandery's ideas of the Innocents, saying children were the chosen people of God because they were the poorest, recognizing the cult of poverty he said that "the Children's Crusade marked both the triumph and the failure of the idea of poverty." Giovanni Miccoli (1961) was the first to note that the contemporary sources did not portray the participants as children. It was this recognition that undermined all other interpretations, except perhaps that of Norman Cohn (1971) who saw it as a chiliastic movement in which the poor tried to escape the misery of their everyday lives. Peter Raedts' 1977 analysis is considered the best source to date to show the many issues surrounding the Children's Crusade.
Beyond the scientific studies there are many popular versions and theories about the Children's Crusades. Norman Zacour in the survey A History of the Crusades (1962) generally follows Munro's conclusions, and adds that there was a psychological instability of the age, concluding the Children's Crusade "remains one of a series of social explosions, through which medieval men and women—and children too—found release".
Steven Runciman gives an account of the Children's Crusade in his A History of the Crusades. Raedts notes that "Although he cites Munro's article in his notes, his narrative is so wild that even the unsophisticated reader might wonder if he had really understood it." Donald Spoto, in a book about Saint Francis of Assisi, said monks were motivated to call them children, and not wandering poor, because being poor was considered pious and the Church was embarrassed by its wealth in contrast to the poor. This, according to Spoto, began a literary tradition from which the popular legend of children originated. This idea follows closely with H. E. Mayer.

As arbor attacks kill people across the state, young gubernatorial staffer Tamia Bennet, must learn how the trees have been manipulated and who is responsible.
Charlie Meninick, in charge of protecting his tribe’s old-growth trees from timber poachers, finds two dead poachers and no other witnesses to convince troopers that the trees acted in self-defense.
But the trees have transformed from natural resource to organized aggressor—and the forests begin to burn.
With fire engulfing Washington, a mutation spreading through the Pacific Northwest, and someone intent on a cover-up, Tamia and Charlie must come together to determine which is the bigger threat: the newly awakening trees, or the powerful people bent on destroying them.”

Length: – Pages
Opening Sentence: “Charlie crouched behind a toppled fir, bracing himself against the wall of splayed roots that had once anchored the tree to the forest floor.”

Lost Soul Society Book 4
Everyone has secrets, some deadlier than others. Psychic Ryley St. James's secrets threaten to kill her, and now both the living and the dead are out for blood.
There’s nothing that Ryley hates worse than her father, but serial killers rank a close second. Alive or dead, they're all the same—they need to be stopped.
When a ghostly serial killer torments a young girl, Ryley must put an end to his reign of terror and figure out a way to shove him into the great beyond.
But when a fellow psychic turns up dead, and another one suddenly goes missing, Ryley suspects that it's not just the ghostly threats she needs to worry about. There's also a live predator lurking somewhere in the shadows.
As she gets closer to the truth, she’s forced to confront her own personal demons. Her father's sinister presence is getting dangerously close to her life, the reapers are demanding answers, and the ghostly serial killer wants to add her to his body count.
It's not a matter of if she'll die but who will get credit for killing her first.
Can she keep it together long enough to battle the secrets from her past and deal with these new killers before it's too late?

Indian Raid Kills Parkhill's
From 1850 through 1860, there was a decade of famine, disease and Indians that swept the plains of northern Texas. The Civil War did much damage to Texas. Because the soldiers were out there fighting the enemy, there wasn't very much protection from raiding tribes in Texas. The Kiowa's took advantage of that. They raided, scalped and burned everything they could. Arthur Houston Parkhill, son of David G. Parkhill, just turned 23 that year. He was killed June 1, 1862 in Cooke County, Texas. During these decades, hard time prevailed. The boys in the family not only worked on their own farms, they worked at near by farms to help others and feed their own.
The Start of the Parkhill's
Genevieve Parkhill Lykes, relates in her book, "A GIFT OF HERITAGE", the following info: '"The origin of the Parkhill's is a romantic legend. About 1640 a ship, supposedly French, was wrecked in the English Channel. The only survivor was a child too young to talk. He was adopted by a resident of Torquay, England, and named PARKHILL, after his foster father's home place "PARK ON THE HILL." Grown to manhood, he lived in Faversham, Kent, where he married an English woman. He is known to have had two sons, who married Scottish wives and founded the Parkhill line of Glasgow and Paisley, Scotland. They lived for a time in Scotland and served as field officers under William III, Prince of Orange. They were awarded lands in the Countys Autrie and Derry, Ireland for gallantry in action at the Battle of the Boyne.
These two known sons of this lad lived for a while in Scotland. Shortly after William of Orange landed at the Bay of Tor on Monday, November 5, 1688, nobles and leading men of England flocked to him from all quarters, abandoning James and his son Charles whom it was planned to have placed on the throne. William marched, for the most part unobstructed, to London, and during this journey the two Parkhill sons joined his forces, becoming field officers in his Cavalry. Upon the flight of James of France, William assumed the throne of England as William III, with his wife Mary. Trouble arose over the Catholic-Protestant question in Ireland, with James and French troops returning from Ireland to support the revolution. The Irish became loyal to this kind 'de jure' (by right or lawful authority), and a Catholic parliament was summoned in Ireland in May 1689. There were many battles. Eventually William III sailed for Ireland and the two great causes opposed each other on opposite banks of the River Boyne. All was eventually smoke and dust and din when William with his cavalry and the two Field Officers Parkhill came up on the left and turned the tide of the battle. The date was July 1 and is celebrated by Orangemen on July 12 (1690). The treaty of Limerich, which was one-sided, stipulated among other things, a forfeiture of Irish lands. Some of this land was granted to William III's personal friends. For bravery in the Battle of the Boyne, the two Officers Parkhill were granted parcels of land in the Counties of Antrim and Derry, Ireland, and the third son around Glasglow, Scotland. One of the field officers married and had several children and came to the United States around 1740. His name was ROBERT PARKHILL and his wife Mary.

Psalms and Acclamations 19th to 25th Sundays Ordinary Time Year C, United States and Philippines Lectionary
by Kate Keefe
Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you
Here are my settings of responsorial psalms, alleluias and acclamations from the Lectionary for the 19th and following Sundays in Ordinary Time, Year C,
downloadable free in PDF and playable MP3 formats, for United States and Philippines Catholic congregations.


Clarence Jones currently has seven books available in both print and e-book versions:
All can be accessed, with complete Tables of Contents and the ability to read an internal section (free) from the Home Page of this website.
e-books now offer a huge range of options. And you don't need a dedicated e-book reader to collect and/or read them.
The amazon.com reader is called Kindle. For now, it seems to be the most popular. The Barnes and Noble device is a Nook. There's also a Sony Reader, another by Google, and others. Unfortunately, they use different formats. But as this technology matures, that will become easier. And there are free readers that can be downloaded to your computer or smart phone for reading just about any e-book available.
All of the books above are available in both paperback and e-book versions at amazon.com. But the e-book versions there can only be read by a Kindle.
All other formats are available at www.smashwords.com. Smashwords is a distributor that wholesales e-books to online booksellers.
The most universal text format is PDF (Adobe Acrobat), which has become the worldwide standard. Even online government documents and IRS forms are created in this format, and virtually all computers have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
After Kindle, the most popular e-book format is E-PUB. Nooks use this format. Our choice for reading e-books on a computer screen is Adobe's free, downloadable Digital Editions, with the book in E-PUB format. You can get Jones' books in this (and all other formats) at Smashwords.
If you're new to e-books, you should also be aware of their quirks. There are no page numbers, for instance, because readers can adjust the size of the onscreen type, and that changes the number of pages. And because there are no page numbers, the usual index and table of contents won't work, either, unless they show a link to another spot in the book instead of a page number. Conversion to the various e-book formats can also create some strange things. Bullet lists, for instance, often put a question mark where the bullet ought to be. Font choice and size is extremely limited. But this technology is in its infancy. With time, the polish we're accustomed to in printed matter will also come to this new medium.
NOTE by Clarence Jones: I'm one of the few old geezers who prefers to read e-books rather than printed ones. Largely because I can adjust the type to my aging eyes. And they're easier/more compact to take with you. As younger generations who grew up with electronic screens mature, they will probably prefer e-books, too. I predict that the printed book will someday be a rare commodity. e-books are easier to produce, a lot cheaper, and can be instantly updated. You can't do that with a printed book.
