Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Cultural Revolution, then keep reading...

The Cultural Revolution, known in full as the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution," was launched by Mao Zedong, the chairman of the Communist Party of China, as a means of quashing capitalism in China. He wanted to ensure that the desire for a communist government would remain strong in the country long after his death. Like other previous leaders who attempted to continue to rule after their death, his attempt did not work out quite the way he had planned. Over the course of a decade, from the summer of 1966 to 1976, Mao Zedong implemented a number of changes that have led him to be known as one of the most brutal tyrants of the modern age. It is estimated that between 500,000 to two million Chinese people, although numbers can go as high as twenty million, died as a direct result of Zedong's Cultural Revolution. It also resulted in millions of people being imprisoned, displaced, and tortured in an attempt to cement Mao Zedong's reputation as the leader of the communist world.

    Continuing his exploration of British history, Timothy Venning examines the turning points of the period from the death of William I to the reign of Edward III and a little beyond. He discusses the crucial junctions at which history could easily have taken a different turn and analyzes the possible results. While speculative, the scenarios are highly plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actual events and their context. Venning gives listeners a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might so easily have been different. 
 
 
 
Key scenarios include: 
 
 
 
● The civil war of 1136-53, how either Stephen or Matilda might have won quick and the likely consequences. 
 
 
 
● What if Richard the Lionheart had not gone on Crusade, leaving the inept John to rule in his place? Could the English (Angevin) Empire in France have been saved? What if that fatal crossbow bolt had missed Richard in 1199, sparing him an early death? 
 
 
 
● What if Edward I's riding accident in 1294 had been fatal, leaving Edward II to succeed at ten years of age? 
 
 
 
● A whole chapter with scenarios surrounding the Scottish kings.

    IMAGINING THE BENNETS is a monumental prequel, spanning forty years of family saga before Pride and Prejudice. It’s original, intricate, intelligent, and moving. The story offers a wonderful interpretation of the earlier era and is an imagination that is loyal to the original. The narrative is an uncompromising, romantic, hard-hitting, heart-rending, viscerally real, historically epic tale. 
How did a rebellious boy with a miserable childhood, who ran away to sea at 15 and whose subsequent life was rich, varied and notable, become the sanguine Lewis Bennet? And how did a feisty, independent, accomplished and well-educated Catherine Gardiner become the worthy but pressured, driven and intense Mrs Bennet? They certainly encountered joy, sadness, trials and tribulations in bringing up their five girls, and somehow they shouldered their deepest fears for twenty years, knowing one or more good marriage was the only way to save the family from penury. How did they bring up those magnificent girls? It is a tale for the ages, as relevant today as it was then. 
Who were the two individuals who became the middle-aged couple we know so well, and what of their earlier relationship?  They fell madly in love and had the world before them. But what happened along the way, their highs and lows, to lead us the beginning of the wonderful Pride and Prejudice and the paucity of warmth we encounter? And what went on behind those well-loved scenes as Lizzie, Jane and Lydia made their marriages? We may proudly think we know, but we may have our own prejudices challenged. This story will inform and entertain you, containing much that was left unspoken in the great book upon which it is based!

    Florida's Space Coast tells the compelling story of America's half century in space exploration from the successful launch of the first two-stage rocket in 1950 through the space shuttle missions of 2000. Told from the unique viewpoint of the people who built the Spaceport, this book shows how the space program transformed the east central Florida coast from a traditional citrus production and tourist area to one of the most influential high-tech centers in the nation. 
 
 
 
Cape Canaveral was chosen as a missile launch site because of its many geographical advantages. However, in the early years of the space program, the area was far from an ideal place for NASA employees to raise their families. NASA brought in thousands of space-related workers, who, besides sending machines and people into space, had to meet the challenge of moving their families from urban environs to a rural southern county. This book engagingly recounts the parallel stories of the establishment of America's space program and its impact on the development of Brevard County.
