The Far West Coast
"The Far West Coast" is a comprehensive historical account detailing the era of maritime exploration along the North Pacific shores of North America. Focusing on the rugged and then-uncharted territories of what would become British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, the work chronicles the ambitious voyages of legendary explorers such as Vitus Bering, Juan Pérez, Captain James Cook, and George Vancouver. Through a detailed narrative, Vernon Llewellyn Denton explores the intense international competition for territory, the dangerous search for the elusive Northwest Passage, and the burgeoning maritime fur trade that shaped the region's destiny. The book provides vital insight into the interactions between European seafaring expeditions and the indigenous peoples of the coast, as well as the navigational challenges posed by the treacherous waters of the North Pacific. By examining the logistical hurdles and geopolitical motivations of the 18th and 19th centuries, "The Far West Coast" serves as an essential record of the discovery and charting of one of the world's most dramatic coastlines. It remains a valuable resource for students of Canadian history, naval exploration, and the foundational stories of the American West.

Furio Jesi maestro in esilio
La rinnovata attenzione per l'opera di Furio Jesi (1941-1980), mitologo e storico sui generis delle religioni, è segno che il suo pensiero continua a costituire un'alternativa alla povertà del presente. La sua opera apre la visione panoramica della critica della cultura. "Furio Jesi maestro in esilio" indaga con sensibilità critica e rigore teorico la vastità di un'opera che spazia dal mito all'arte, dalla filosofia alla rivoluzione come rivolta permanente. Paolo Vernaglione Berardi offre una riflessione che intreccia biografia intellettuale e archeologia del presente, restituendo Jesi come guida attuale per chi cerca di orientarsi tra memoria, immaginazione e possibilità di liberazione.

York Castle Prison
For nearly 750 years, from the time of Henry II to the end of Queen Victoria's Reign, York Castle stood as the focal point of Crime and Punishment for Yorkshire. From witches to pirates, thieves to highwaymen, traitors to political prisoners, and debtors to murderers, they all came through the walls of York Castle.Changes to the law, methods of punishment, political factors, gender, and social status on the outside all blended together to determine the lives of the men and women held within York Castle's imposing walls. However, above all, their life would be determined by the individuals who ran the prison, both good and bad, always seeking more for themselves.The buildings changed from being part of the fortified Castle of York, through the grandiose architecture of the eighteenth century, into oppressive buildings that typified the nineteenth-century prison. Yet today, with many of the buildings gone, the space has been opened up to be a welcoming environment for visitors to the City of York. This means that for the many annual visitors to the site, it is difficult to appreciate the significant role that York Castle once played.In this book, the author combines past work with new resources and research to tell the story of York Castle's history as a centre of justice in Yorkshire and its significant role within the British justice system as a whole. Telling a story of both local and national importance.

New England and the Bavarian Illuminati
A chill of suspicion crept through the meeting houses and parlours of eighteenth-century New England, as whispers of hidden alliances and clandestine societies unsettled the very fabric of a young nation. Against the backdrop of the American Revolution era and the fervour of religious movements in America, the spectre of the Bavarian Illuminati-born in the shadowed corners of Enlightenment Europe-became a source of fascination and dread. This work traces the intricate web of illuminati history as it intersects with the intellectual life of New England, unravelling how the fear of secret societies and conspiracy theories took root in the minds of ministers, pamphleteers, and everyday citizens. The narrative moves with precision through sermons, correspondence, and public debates, revealing the anxieties that shaped both political and spiritual discourse during a period of profound transformation.What emerges is a nuanced portrait of a society wrestling with questions of authority, liberty, and the origins of freemasonry, set against the wider currents of European thought. The book's careful scholarship and evocative prose illuminate the genuine tensions of the Enlightenment period, when the boundaries between reason and suspicion, faith and scepticism, were fiercely contested. Far from a mere chronicle of paranoia, this is a study in the power of ideas-how rumours and revelations about the Bavarian Illuminati could ripple across continents, influencing the course of New England history and leaving an indelible mark on American intellectual history.This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting both the curious reader and the discerning collector to explore a pivotal chapter in the story of secret societies and their enduring legacy.

The Southern Frontier
"The Southern Frontier" is a foundational historical study that explores the expansion and development of the American South during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Focusing on the pivotal years between 1670 and 1732, the work provides a comprehensive examination of the colonial frontier, primarily centering on South Carolina and the vast territories that would later become Georgia and the surrounding Gulf region. Author Verner W. Crane masterfully details the intricate web of interactions between British settlers, Spanish rivals, and French explorers, while emphasizing the crucial role of the fur trade in shaping the geopolitical landscape. Central to the narrative is the complex relationship between European powers and the numerous Indigenous nations, including the Creek and Cherokee peoples. Through rigorous research, the work illuminates how these borderland dynamics influenced imperial policy and paved the way for future American expansion. As a cornerstone of Southern historiography, "The Southern Frontier" remains an essential resource for understanding the social, economic, and diplomatic forces that defined early American history.

The Co-operative College and a Century of Social Change

In doing so, it brought together vocational and liberal education as well as educating members as part of a movement that fostered significant social change. It draws on original archival research at the National Co-operative Archive in Manchester as well as other material at the National Archives, Bishopsgate Institute and the British Library. Furthermore, the rich archives of the National Co-operative Archive allow for the development of a rich visual history of the movement to be explored.
