Lords and Knights of the Canadian Frontier is a dynamic narrative that highlights the careers of three impecunious young men of English, Scottish, and Irish immigrant families who were molded in the austerity of Atlantic Canada during the years of the industrial revolution (1897–1941). Each of the characters shares the sting of poverty, taking the world with a vengeance in pursuit of their fortunes.

In the Middle Ages, the March between England and Wales was a contested, militarised frontier zone, a 'land of war'. With English kings distracted by affairs in France, English frontier lords were left on their own to organize and run lordships in the manner that was best suited to this often violent borderland. The centrepiece of the frontier society that developed was the feudal honour and its court, and in the March it survived as a functioning entity much longer than in England. However, in the twelfth century, as the growing power of the English crown threatened Marcher honours, their lords asserted their independence from the king's courts, and the March became a land where 'the king's writ did not run'. At the same time, the increased military capability of their Welsh adversaries put the Marcher lordships under enormous military and financial strain. Brock Holden describes how this unusual frontier society developed in reaction to both the challenge of the native Welsh and the power of the English kings. Through a multi-faceted examination-political, economic, social, legal, and military-of the lordships of the Central March of Wales, it examines how the 'feudal matrix' of Marcher power developed over the course of the eleventh to thirteenth centuries.

W. Bruce Kippen trained as a pilot and flight engineer with the Royal Canadian Air Force, before attending McGill University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree majoring in Economics. His subsequent career studies of leaders in industry, finance, and politics in Canada, the U.S.A., and England has led him to write an intriguing novel relating to historical events narrating the career paths of three dynamic entrepreneurs over a fifty-year period. As a long-time member of the Montreal and Toronto Stock Exchanges, and head of the investment firm, Kippen and Company, Inc., he has been instrumental in financing a number of industrial and natural-resource enterprises; including, as a co-founder with a long-time college associate, the formidable base metal mine, Brunswick Mining and Smelting Corporation, now owned by Noranda Mines, Ltd. This was followed by several oil-and-gas-producing companies in Western Canada, which matured into Norcen Energy Resources Ltd., recently acquired by Union Pacific of California for over two billion dollars; and Unican Security Systems, Ltd., a five hundred thousand dollar financing, acquired twenty-five years later by Kaba Holding, A.G., of Italy, for six hundred and fifty million dollars. The firm also assisted in the financing of Great Canadian Oil Sand, Ltd., now Suncor Energy Inc., the pioneer developer of Alberta's Athabasca oil sands reservoir, now producing over six hundred thousand barrels of oil per day. His career experiences as a company founder, corporate executive, investment banker, and political activist, has been the genesis of his novel' Lords of the Frontier, narrating the careers of three dynamic young men, from their youthful, impecunious years on the western frontier, through the vicissitudes of war, booms, and depression in North America and England, from 1890, through the first forty-two years of the turbulent twentieth century.

Remarkable for their military prowess, their receptivity to Christianity, and their intricate all-embracing kinship network, the Kachins are a hardy mountain people living in the remote hills of northern Burma and on the peripheries of Indian and China. During the Second World War they strongly aided the Allies in defending Burma against the imperialist designs of the Japanese, earning themselves sorbriquets such as 'amiable assassins' and 'Ghurkas of Southeast Asia.' After Burma's independence in 1948, the Kachins were given their own state, but in the early 1960s they went to war again, this time fighting for autonomy for their homeland. For over thirty years, funded largely by the world-renowned jade mines they control, they maintained their armed insurgency, playing a key role in Burma's internecine struggles. In 1994 the Kachins signed a cease-fire agreement which they hope marks the start of an era of peace.

This book examines the making of the March of Wales and the crucial role its lords played in the politics of medieval Britain between the Norman conquest of England of 1066 and the English conquest of Wales in 1283. Max Lieberman argues that the Welsh borders of Shropshire, which were first, from c.1165, referred to as Marchia Wallie, provide a paradigm for the creation of the March. He reassesses the role of William the Conqueror's tenurial settlement in the making of the March and sheds new light on the ways in which seigneurial administrations worked in a cross-cultural context. Finally, he explains why, from c.1300, the March of Wales included the conquest territories in south Wales as well as the highly autonomous border lordships. This book makes a significant and original contribution to frontier studies, investigating both the creation and the changing perception of a medieval borderland.

‘Perhaps the most readable history ever written’ Time Out Lords of the Horizons charts the Ottoman Empire's swirling epic history; dramatic — detailed and alive — a journey, and a world all in one. The Ottoman Empire has long exerted a strong pull on Western minds and hearts. For over six hundred years the Empire swelled and declined; rising from a dusty fiefdom in the foothills of Anatolia to a power which ruled over the Danube and the Euphrates with the richest court in Europe. But its decline was prodigious, protracted, and total. ‘A fascinating read...a perfect companion for anyone who visits Turkey and wants to make sense of it’ The Times
