The development of steam propulsion machinery in warships during the nineteenth century, in conjunction with iron armor and shell guns, resulted in a technological revolution in the world's navies. Warships utilizing all of these technologies were built in France and Great Britain in the 1850s, but it was during the American Civil War that large numbers of ironclads powered solely by steam proved themselves to be quite capable warships. This book focuses on Confederate ironclads with American built machinery, offering a detailed look at marine steam-engineering practices in both northern and southern industry prior to and during the Civil War. It gives a contextual naval history of the Civil War, the creation of the ironclad program, and the advent of various technologies. The author analyzes the armored warships built by the Confederate States of America that represented a style adapted to scarce industrial resources and facilities.

2247. The surface world is lost, swallowed by the rising tides. Humanity clings to life in Aquatica, a shimmering underwater metropolis, its fate intertwined with the bioluminescent coral that powers their submerged world. But the coral is dying, strangled by a mysterious blight, and darkness threatens to consume them all. Elias Vance, a disgraced train conductor haunted by a past tragedy, is offered a perilous chance at redemption. Lucian Thorne, a ruthless corporate magnate, tasks him with leading an expedition into the unexplored Abyssal Trench, a realm of crushing pressures and perpetual night, to find a rumored strain of blight-resistant coral. But Elias suspects Thorne’s motives are far more sinister than salvation. Aboard the rebuilt *Cerulean Serpent*, Elias descends into the abyss with a crew of fractured souls: Dr. Iris Bellweather, a brilliant marine biologist driven by personal loss; Silas Finch, a veteran diver haunted by the ghosts of the deep; and Anya Sharma, a young engineer whose idealism hasn't yet been drowned by the harsh realities of their world. In the heart of the Trench, they discover an impossible garden of bioluminescent flora, and encounter the Eternals—beings of pure light, remnants of an ancient civilization. They speak in a mesmerizing language of bioluminescence, a symphony of light that reveals a terrifying truth: the blight is not a disease, but a desperate cry from the ocean itself, a reaction to humanity’s relentless exploitation. Elias is torn. Obey Thorne and potentially save Aquatica, or heed the Eternals’ warning and risk condemning his city to darkness. As the *Cerulean Serpent* pushes deeper, strange phenomena begin to manifest, mirroring the growing tension within the crew. Elias uncovers evidence of Thorne’s deceit, revealing a conspiracy that threatens not only Aquatica, but the delicate balance of the entire ocean. A mutiny erupts. A desperate chase ensues. Amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Abyssal Trench, a battle for the soul of the ocean unfolds, a dazzling spectacle of light and shadow, of technology clashing with the raw power of the deep. The fate of Aquatica, and perhaps all of humanity, rests on the crew of the *Cerulean Serpent*, and their ability to decipher the silent symphony of the deep.

"This book covers the events mentioned above in considerable detail... little has been published on the subject and this book provides a look into how turbulent the 20s were for Mexico." - ModelingMadness.Com In the decades before Mexico joined the Allies in the Second World War, Mexican military aviation saw a rapid growth and intense involvement in rebellions, internal strife, and in operations against armed banditry. Aviation was introduced to military service in Mexico during the Revolutionary period of 1910–1920 and the bloody showdown between the subsequent president Don Venustiano Carranza and General Victoriano Huerta. Based on this experience, a strong military aviation service was understood to be an important element for maintaining internal security and was subsequently deployed at almost every opportunity. Mexican military aviation helped defeat several armed uprisings, often through little more than its psychological impact upon the insurgents and the civilian population. In at least one instance, an armed rebellion sought to obtain aircraft of its own and to recruit foreign mercenary pilots to counter the government’s aircraft. Three decades of small yet intensive combat operations not only proved to be a baptism of fire for many early Mexican aviators, but also played a crucial role in forming nearly all of the commanders that went on to lead the Mexican Air Force during the Second World War. The Decades of Rebellion mini-series examines the use of air power in Mexico’s internal strife from the 1920s up until the 1940s. This first volume focusses upon the rebellions of the 1920s and includes the fall of Carranza, Cantu’s rebellion in Baja California, De La Huerta’s rebellion and the uprising of the Yaqui people, as well as giving a comprehensive overview of the Mexican Military Aviation Service in this period. Decades of Rebellion Volume 1: Mexican Military Aviation in the Rebellions of the 1920s is richly illustrated throughout with original photographs and includes the @War series’ signature colour artworks with profiles of many unusual aircraft types employed in Mexico at that time.
