Free--A Big Ebook on a REALLY Big Subject (the Grand Canyon and Adjoining Areas)

A Deep Map of Western Grand Canyon and Upper Lake Mead Country: History and Memories of the Land of Long Shadows. By Mary Richardson McBee. Print list price $17.95; digital list price $9.95; Kindle price now $0.00. Rated 5 stars, but from only 2 reviews at the present moment (it was published just this past August 15). Old Lands Publishing, publisher. 414 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Grand-...f+Long+Shadows.

Book Description
This author embarked on a ten-year journey exploring and collecting vast amounts of information and fascinating stories about this extraordinary landscape, and in so doing, uncovered many little-known gems of history. She reveals how the Spanish captured Paiute Indian children, brought them across the Old Ute Trail around the western end of Grand Canyon and sold them as slaves, and how Mormons purchased Native children, then claimed to simply indenture and raise them to become “a white and delightsome people.” There are stories of rebellious Indian souls, along with tales of moon-shining in Grand Wash and of hilarious colorful pioneer characters. She includes intriguing reports of historic dam surveys and expeditions, river crossings both successful and not, daily lives of families at the old ferry crossings, important archeological surveys, discoveries of mystery mines, the struggles of first settlers. This is truly a collection of great stories. Yet, most of all, the work vividly illustrates how the land ultimately has the sheer power to dictate history, and that the land will continue to do so. This is an important work of almost 400 pages containing nearly 200 fascinating photos. And it’s a page-turner!

From Authors Prologue:
“The focus of this book is an area of land covering a mere one hundred miles. A settlement called Meadview is nestled therein, resting atop Grapevine Mesa, with a view extending far north into the Virgin Mountains of Nevada and deep into Arizona Strip Country beyond the Grand Canyon – a spectacular panorama of great vast spaces and distant horizons. Two thousand feet of sheer rock face, the picturesque Grand Wash Cliffs, form the eastern backdrop of this community, displaying constant changing patterns of deep earthen reds and golden yellow hues amidst the silence of magnificent glowing sunsets….. Visible from Meadview, one can make out an indistinct break in the Grand Wash Cliffs; therein lies the entrance to the seductive Lower Granite Gorge of the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River lives there, flowing with deceptive gentleness from within and winding out into the long open expanse of Lake Mead.”

The Claws of the Bear: A History of the Soviet Armed Forces from 1917 To The Present

The Claws of the Bear: A History of the Soviet Armed Forces from 1917 To The Present
Brian Moynahan

Quote:
The Soviet Army was one of the most powerful military forces ever created.

As the sun set over the radar crews of Kamchatka, across the strait from Alaska, it rose on divisions barracked on the former German soil of Kaliningrad.

Between these extremities of the eastern and western hemispheres, its men underpinned a system and a superpower.

Their desertion from the Tsar in 1917 created, amid a swirling civil war, the world's first Communist State in a giant country that neither Marx nor Lenin had thought ripe for revolution.

In the greatest battles of the Second World War, they broke the back of Nazism. They brought Communism and a new post-war order into the heartland of Europe during their advance. They maintained it through the long years of Soviet power, despite the tragic Hungarian and Czech revolts. At their peak, they were a rival to the United States.

In this, the most authoritative general study of Soviet military strength, Brian Moynahan reveals the history of this military colossus, its hardware, the ethos of its officers and men, its strategy and ambitions.

Gorbachev's sackings of senior officers are seen against the horrors of the Purges, current military-industrial strength against the freezing, roofless factories of 1942, the invasion of Afghanistan against the crushing of Prague. Trotsky, Stalin, Beria, Barbarossa, Zhukov, Khrushchev, Cuba, Dubček, Walesa haunt its pages, as they haunt the new generation of Russian leaders in the Kremlin.

The book is drawn from a wide variety of published and unpublished sources, and from interviews with former members of the Soviet armed forces. At a time of flux, it strips the obscurity from the greatest force in modern times.

“As complete a briefing as can probably be found this side of a NATO intelligence file or Kremlin archives.” – Kirkus Reviews

Brian Moynahan (born 1951) was European editor of the Sunday Times. As a foreign correspondent, he covered many modern crisis points first hand. He was a former Scholar of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and graduated with a double first in History.

Free from the author @ iTunes (available to Canadians & currently price-matched at Amazon UK, may show up elsewhere later):

Capitalism is Dead: Peoplism Rules — Creating Success Out of Corporate Chaos by Alec Reed, some kind of business motivational paradigm shift* manifesto originally out from McGraw-Hill Publishing in 2002.

Peoplism is a revolution. It is radically altering the formation and functioning of business and society. This strategic management book analyses the impact Peoplism has on organizational success. It outlines the challenges facing business leaders in adjusting to the demands of a marketplace where commoditization and globalization continually erode margins.

Coined by Alec Reed, the term Peoplism describes an economic state where individuals own and control the most important factor of production, their human ability. After centuries where money and capital have been the driving force of business and the economy, Reed argues that the importance has shifted irreversibly towards the individual. And whilst companies confidently declare that people are their most important asset, the real consequences of such statements have yet to bite.

Based on original research, Capitalism is Dead: Peoplism Rules examines and proffers practical solutions to the key challenges which lie at the core of today's business. They include:

- the diminishing power of the state - organizational implications and opportunities
- recruitment, retention and measurement of top talent - optimizing private intellect insurance
- the diminishing power of the brand - how to reposition marketing when it is off-target
- short-termism and narrow focus of accounting practices - how to realign with the key value drivers
- how to develop Unique Strategic Positioning within companies, strategies for boosting the corporate libido, and proposals for developing the new Profit:Enterprise ratios.

Written with the warning that Peoplism is no kinder than capitalism, this book explains why companies need to act on this radical sea change, and advises how best to do so.


* I'm always reminded of that Dilbert cartoon: "a paradigm shifting without a clutch".

I think Brassica Vegetables by Roby Jose Ciju will tell you more than you could want to know.

Her Mint Herbs booklet is also free

And a few more reprints from Heraklion

The Art of Money Getting by Phineas Taylor Barnum

the author was a world famous businessman, best known for founding the circus that became Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The Art of Money Getting, or, Golden Rules for Making Money contains a wealth of advice on being successful in business.

P. T. Barnum (1810-1891) was an American showman, businessman, scam artist and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Although Barnum was also an author, publisher, philanthropist, and for some time a politician, he said of himself, "I am a showman by profession...and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me," and his personal aims were "to put money in his own coffers." Barnum is widely, but erroneously, credited with coining the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute."

I thought that I found a Nisyros freebie that Little.Egret either didn't find or didn't post, but now I see it on the webpage that she gave for Nisyros books at Amazon. ha

Thanks, Little.Egret, for posting all of those Nisyros, Heraklion, Waxkeep and Pyrrhus books! Oodles of karma is headed your way!

I notice that Heraklion Press' F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and Damned has a Whispersync to it for only $2.99. I'm not into fiction. Is this worth posting on the Audiobooks thread?

UPDATE: I'm seeing a few more . . . one at $3.95, another at $2.95 . . . .

Grand Canyon Guide: Your Complete Guide to the Grand Canyon by Bruce Grubbs

Revised January 2014, whether your interest in the Grand Canyon is in a quick look from a few of the rim view points, a week-long whitewater trip on the Colorado River, a stay in a lodge on the very edge of the canyon, a walk along a rim trail, camping in the rim forest, or hiking down into the canyon, this book is for you.

Bruce Grubbs has been hiking, backpacking, and cross-country skiing throughout the American West for more than 40 years. About 20 years ago, his writing focus expanded to include books, with the publication of Hiking Arizona with Stewart Aitchison. He has since written twenty four more published books.

Additional Free Waxkeep Titles?

I think that there have been a few more free Waxkeep books added at Amazon since Little.Egret's post above. Either that or I failed to get them earlier. These are the ones that I think have been added:

An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith by St. John Damascene.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...thodox%20Faith

The French Revolution, a Political History: Volume I The Revolution under the Monarchy (I haven't seen any subsequent volumes) by Francois Alphonse Aulard.
http://www.amazon.com/French-Revolut...History+aulard.

Leo the Great by Charles Gore.
http://www.amazon.com/Leo-Great-Reve...=Leo+the+Great.


I may have missed one or two, especially of the fiction titles. Anyway, all of the ones that are free now are at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1?...qid=1413706665 so you can check for yourselves (please do us a favor and let us know if you find anymore).

I haven't checked for any additional free Pyrrhus or Heraklion titles, but I'll try to do that tomorrow (well, it's so late here now it's already tomorrow, so it will be later today. ha), unless someone beats me to it. If anyone wants to beat me to it, please feel free. ha
