In 1839, the United States and Great Britain almost went to war over trees. The border between Maine and New Brunswick was undefined, and valuable timberland lay in the disputed zone. When Canadian lumberjacks started chopping down "American" pines, the Governor of Maine sent in the militia.This is the story of the Aroostook War, affectionately known as the "Pork and Beans War" due to the soldiers diet. It involved angry lumberjacks, a massive deployment of troops, and a lot of posturing, but miraculously, zero combat deaths. The only casualties were two soldiers who froze to death and a cow that was shot by mistake."The Pork and Beans War" is a humorous yet fascinating look at how close two allies came to bloodshed over resources. It highlights the power of diplomacy (and a convenient map fraud) in resolving the conflict, ultimately defining the peculiar northeastern border of the USA.

Bellamy slid off the high stool, walked unsteadily to the window and stood swaying on his heels looking down at the snow, on Conduit Street. The bar-tender mixed himself a whisky and soda and began to polish the chromium counter. Bellamy turned, and leaned against the window, looking at the bar-tender.He was tall, slim and dark. He looked immaculate although his quiet grey suit was old. There were circles under his eyes. He looked very tired, slightly depraved. His big brown eyes were dull.He said in a low, rather hoarse and attractive voice: Why doesnt anybody come in here? Has Mr. March been in, Sydney?He began to walk towards the bar.

Landskabet vugger sig omkring den lille i by. Man nrmer sig til den over blgende hje, der slres af olivenskove, som var de indspundne i grgrn silke. Nr vejen lfter sig over en bakke, ligger byen forsnket i en blgedal og vinker med sine trne. Den ligner en murkrone, trykt ned over en af hjene. Vejen snor sig, og staden bliver borte. Rytteren traver blge op og blge ned og stirrer efter staden som efter et smrke.Nrved ser det ud, som havde en hrd hnd fra himlen slet ned i denne skov af murpiller. Som var trnene splintrede og kappede i et uvejr. Som var hattene blst af. Kun et enkelt brer endnu sin taghjelm, der stritter p fire piller; under dens hvlving hnger en klokke. Den holder for tiden sin malmtunge rolig. Rebet falder lodret ned i trnet.

An enthralling mix of mystery and murder Mail on Sunday. What goes around comes around on the carousel of time.

DI Garibaldi has questions to ask. Who killed Shelley, and why there? Is her death linked to the tragedy the friends commemorate each year, or do the answers lie closer to home in the quiet Thameside village of Barnes, where Shelley was well known but not always well liked?

Some islands are erased from maps.Others are erased from memory.This story belongs to the latter.!Island of the Damned is not merely a work of speculative fiction. It is an examination of a recurring human impulsethe belief that isolation grants permission, that secrecy absolves responsibility, and that power, when hidden far enough from public sight, can reshape morality itself.Across history, islands have served as laboratories of ambition. Removed from law, distanced from conscience, they become ideal vessels for experimentationnot only on bodies, but on ethics, identity, and the very definition of humanity. In this novel, Aethelburg Island stands as such a place: a sealed ecosystem where science detaches from accountability, where progress is pursued without restraint, and where the human form becomes raw material.Island of the Damned asks a simple but unsettling question:If humanity could be redesigned.Who would be trusted to decide what must be removed?This book does not offer comfort. It offers reflection. It invites the reader to confront the seductive nature of control, the danger of believing oneself exempt from moral limits, unsettling truths

"A Science-Fiction Novel"The Gods of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and the second of Burroughs Barsoom series.The Gods of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and the second of Burroughs Barsoom series. It features the characters of John Carter and Carters wife Dejah Thoris. It was first published in The All-Story as a five-part serial in the issues for January-May 1913. It was later published as a complete novel by A. C. McClurg in September, 1918 and in many editions subsequently.As usual for him, Burroughs begins with a frame story that explains how he (Burroughs) came into possession of the text. At the end of the first book, A Princess of Mars, John Carter was unwillingly transported back to Earth. The story proper begins with his arrival back on Barsoom (Mars) after a ten-year separation with Dejah Thoris, their unborn child, and the Red Martian people of the nation of Helium, whom he has adopted as his own. Unfortunately, Carter materializes in the one place on Barsoom from which nobody is allowed to depart: the Valley Dor, which is the Barsoomian afterlife.

Glenn Killbourne and his fiancee Carley Burch find a strange test of their love in the mountains and canyons of Arizona.What subtle strange message had come to her out of the West? Carley Burch laid the letter in her lap and gazed dreamily through the window.It was a day typical of early April in New York, rather cold and gray, with steely sunlight. Spring breathed in the air, but the women passing along Fifty-seventh Street wore furs and wraps. She heard the distant clatter of an L train and then the hum of a motor car. A hurdy-gurdy jarred into the interval of quiet."Glenn has been gone over a year," she mused, "three months over a year-and of all his strange letters this seems the strangest yet."She lived again, for the thousandth time, the last moments she had spent with him. It had been on New-Years Eve, 1918. They had called upon friends who were staying at the McAlpin, in a suite on the twenty-first floor overlooking Broadway. And when the last quarter hour of that eventful and tragic year began slowly to pass with the low swell of whistles and bells, Carleys friends had discreetly left her alone with her lover, at the open window.
