Paul Brandt has survived every test and challenge life has thrown at him. He has prospered, but experience has shown that he must never relax. Careful thought and superior leadership are his main qualities, but he is also a risk-taker and an opportunist. Balancing these traits successfully is one of his main strengths. We are now in the fourth instalment of The Angel of Jena's great adventures. Paul continues to defeat all the challenges that block his path, but not without many struggles. He must fight against the tenacious Bonaparte yet again. The famous Battle of Waterloo will be recast before your eyes. You will be there. You will see and smell the battle as it really was. As Paul grows older his challengers grow bigger, not easier. The more he succeeds, the higher the stakes become. This is the way it is with larger-than-life characters. Paul will reshape history in ways that can hardly be foreseen. Tsar Alexander I will bind Paul as his son-in-law in an amazing plan that involves Paul in faking the Tsar's death. The book marks the climax of Paul Brandt's life, but it prepares his descendants to play their parts. You will meet Paul's grandson, Dr Otto Angel Brandt. He will be embroiled in the Franco-Prussian war and the Spanish succession. You will meet General Prim and see history untold. Paul teaches the next generations so that nothing he has worked for will be lost. His family will learn from these memoirs and conduct their lives as successful and good citizens.

THE ANGEL FIGHTS TO WATERLOO. VOLUME FOUR OF THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. It's 1813, Paul Brandt returns to Berlin from London with news for the Tsar. But family matters must be postponed, like all life's pleasures and pastimes because, yet again, the rapacious Bonaparte has invaded. He has Berlin in his sights and he must be stopped. The reformers, Clausewitz, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst and Blucher together with von Boyen try to make the Allied armies work together, rather than as independent commands, as they are used to do. Progress is slow and the losses mount. But a strategy grows out of the bloodshed. Paul must don his uniform again, and leading his troop, rides to find his old mentor, General Yorck. At the Battle of the Elbe he and his men are bloodied in battle when his scouting troop is used as cavalry. The Allies push on to Paris but, one step at a time. The Battle of Nations turns into the world's largest cavalry battle and right after it comes the Battle for Leipzig itself. For the soldiers, their lives are of fighting without end until death itself. Paul must raise the legend of The Angel of Jena again as the Allies tempt the Saxons to defect from Bonaparte. And at Leipzig there is the problem of the French retreat. Bonaparte's forces, complete with the remnants of his cavalry and artillery are escaping so they can reform to fight again. How can they be stopped? Paul's war ends at Leipzig. He returns to Berlin and thence to London, where many adventures spring out at him. He even finds himself aboard a sinking ship in the Elizabeth River in Virginia. Paris falls to the Tsar's armies and war is over. But news arrives that Bonaparte has escaped and is raising a new army. Paul returns to Berlin and joins the Prussian forces to face down the French invader for the last time. But can August Gneisenau make the English understand the value of the Trachtenberg Plan? Because if he can't the battle might be lost and Europe with it. The Battle of Waterloo will unfold with you in it. And it is not as it has been portrayed. The weapons are different and so are the tactics. Nonetheless, as any seasoned campaigner will confirm, as the rain stops on Sunday lunchtime and generals survey the battlefield, it is obvious that Napoleon Bonaparte will be victorious. But appearances can be deceptive and that is a critical ingredient of the Trachtenberg Plan. ABOUT THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. The series, at the time of writing, comprises seven books ranging from the Napoleonic Wars (Vols 1-4), through The Franco-Prussian War (Vols 5,6), to the Cold War (Vol 7). They start at a time when Germany was conceived and develop through its birth to modern times. (1950s). The thread is the Brandt Family and their adventures. The environment is German history. History is written by the winner and, from ace to knave, it's a pack of lies. These books are not German history. They are a unique view of German history and the stories are told from this deserted and neglected standpoint. This, so-far, unilluminated emphasis discloses both a disguised truth and a hidden one. Germany is not the warmonger it has been painted and, as the series develops, readers' curiosity may be piqued into checking to see if they agree with the author's conclusions. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Oliver Fairfax is a nomad. A Scot by birth, he has wandered from England to Hong Kong and back - twice. He has lived in France and now in New Zealand. He worries that a generation is rising who cannot tell the difference between a citizen and a subject. He is concerned about the pervasive growth of regulation that cannot be afforded, cannot be complied with, but that seeks to remove free choice. He worries also about political correctness and the suppression of dissonance being two policies that misinform ordinary people's decision-making processes. But those irritants aside, life's great! - and remember, you should never have joined if you can't take a joke.

Turner was deeply affected by the world in which he lived, the sciences that explained it, and the conflicts and accomplishments of his society. He wove these strands into the dense fabric of the historical pictures he created, pictures that were extremely varied, complex, original, and controversial. In Angel in the Sun Gerald Finley untangles the various thematic strands running through Turner's art, including the intersection of private and public histories, classical and biblical history and contemporary events, and science and religion, and shows how Turner's use of light and colour played an important role in conveying these ideas. Angel in the Sun includes over 130 illustrations in colour and black and white that reveal Turner's remarkable achievement as a painter of historical subjects. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, the book will appeal not only to art historians and landscape theorists but also to historians of science and literature.

Katherine Addison, author of The Goblin Emperor, returns with The Angel of the Crows, a fantasy novel of alternate 1880s London, where killers stalk the night and the ultimate power is naming. This is not the story you think it is. These are not the characters you think they are. This is not the book you are expecting. In an alternate 1880s London, angels inhabit every public building, and vampires and werewolves walk the streets with human beings in a well-regulated truce. A fantastic utopia, except for a few things: Angels can Fall, and that Fall is like a nuclear bomb in both the physical and metaphysical worlds. And human beings remain human, with all their kindness and greed and passions and murderous intent. Jack the Ripper stalks the streets of this London too. But this London has an Angel. The Angel of the Crows. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The British army during the Napoleonic Wars is often studied using English sources and the British view of their French opponents has been covered in exhaustive detail. However, the French view of the British has been less often studied and is frequently misunderstood. This book, based on hundreds of letters, memoirs, and reports of French officers and soldiers of the Napoleonic armies, adds to the existing literature by exploring the British army from the French side of the battle line.Each chapter looks at a specific campaign involving the French and the British. Extensive quotes from the French soldiers who were there are complemented by detailed notes describing the context of the war and the career of the eyewitness.Throughout the emphasis is on the voices of the lower ranks, the conscripts and the noncommissioned and junior officers. They describe in their own words the full range of warfare during the period not only land battles but battles at sea, including the Nile and Trafalgar and accounts of captivity in England are included too.This original and revealing material gives a fascinating insight into the attitudes and concerns of the French soldiers of the period and their views about their British enemy.

Did you know that the most common surgical eye procedure today began as a tragic injury to a WWII pilot? Did you know that one of the first medical devices to ever be implanted into a human was performed by an ophthalmologist? Do you know the riveting story behind the man who envisioned and achieved ground-breaking medical advancements for vision care? ______________________________________________________________________________ An innovator in eye surgery and undisputed inventor of the intraocular lens (IOL), Sir Harold Ridley achieved some of the most important discoveries in ophthalmology and medicine over the last 100 years. The compelling story of Sir Harold Ridley is one not widely known among today's medical community. It is a story of an unassuming medical leader. It is a story that needs to be told, not only for its historical value, but also to provide guidance for future generations on bringing new inventions to the world. In the early 1980's, Dr. David J. Apple, one of the most prominent American ophthalmologists and eye researchers conducted studies that by the mid-1980's had verified that Ridley's innovation--the implantation of the IOL--was potentially safe and effective. Upon hearing of these studies, Ridley requested to meet Dr. Apple at Ridley's home in England, where a life-long personal and professional relationship was born. Inside Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight: He Changed the World So That We May Better See It, Dr. David J. Apple chronicles the amazing career and life of Sir Harold Ridley based on their friendship and on never before published documents, photographs, and memorabilia. Ridley's tremendous impact on ophthalmology and specifically on the treatment of cataract patients, is a story that until now has not been told. Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight is based on 26 years of research performed by Dr. Apple. Interviews with friends, families, colleagues, as well as the review of medical and hospital records, military records, and museum exhibits have brought the story of Sir Harold Ridley to forefront of the medical community today. Dr. Apple brings life and credibility to the pages of Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight with over 600 images, testimonials from Sir Harold Ridley on his quest that began in 1935, and a personal touch that only a true colleague and friend can convey. From Harold Ridley, 1989: "I had twenty-five years in the wilderness and would have been spared much suffering if David Apple, the one who at last took the trouble to read and analyze all the early implant papers, had appeared in the 1950's, for a whole generation of cataract patients might then have enjoyed full visual rehabilitation instead of suffering the abnormalities of aphakia." In 1940 during World War II, in the legendary Battle of Britain, a British pilot was tragically blinded when shattered fragments of his cockpit canopy were embedded in his eyes. This tragic event led to the identification of an implant material and eventuated in Ridley's accomplishing a complete cure for cataracts. Ridley focused the next decade of his life on the development of an artificial lens to be implanted following the removal of a cataract. This device has restored vision to nearly 200 million people worldwide, and presently 9 million annually. After performing the first IOL implant on a cataract patient, Sir Harold Ridley was met with opposition from the medical community. It took three decades of struggle until his goal became reality. Now the cataract surgery, and its cousin, refractive surgery, including the procedure LASIK, are the most common surgical procedures performed today. Paving the way for past, current and future ophthalmologists, Sir Harold Ridley not only implanted the first medical device into a patient--he pioneered multiple once in a lifetime discoveries including innovations on river blindness, techniques for optic nerve and retina diagnosis, introduction of television and other electronic techniques to ophthalmology, as well as establishing a branch of biomedical engineering focusing on the science of artificial implants. Sir Harold Ridley and His Fight for Sight is the story of a brilliant man and his lifelong struggle to gain acceptance for his invention from his peers. He finally achieved this late in life and the intraocular lens is now recognized as one of the most important medical advances of the 20th century.
