Ruling Russia for a little over 300 years, from the 17th to the early 20th centuries, the Romanov tsars, and in rare but unforgettable cases, empresses, dominated the political landscapes of their times and forged one of the most legendary dynasties of all time.

In November 1943, with the outcome of the Second World War hanging in the balance, the Allies needed a new plan. The Americans' audacious suggestion to the Soviets was to open a second air front, with the US Air Force establishing bases in Soviet-controlled territory. Despite Stalin's obvious reservations about the presence of foreign troops in Russia, he was persuaded, and in early 1944 and Operation Baseball and then Frantic were initiated as B-17 Superfortresses were flown from bases in Italy to the Poltova region in today's Ukraine.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form.

The Ministry for State Security is hunting for a new weapon in the war against capitalism - and their solution is stranger than fiction.

"A Handful of Nuts" is a gloriously funny and unexpectedly tender story of being young and adventurous in small town India. The central character would like to establish himself as a writer, but he is constantly diverted from his task by assorted escapades, romances, friends, and other distractions.

Co víme o 12. století? Třeba to, že se v Evropě začal pomocí destilace vyrábět alkohol, byla pravděpodobně sepsána Kosmova kronika česká, byly založeny řády Templářů a Premonstrátů, vznikl gotický sloh, byl vynalezen střelný prach a také proběhla první doložená chřipková epidemie. Jak se ale obecně žilo lidem ve 12. století? To popisuje první část cyklu Život ve staletích. I když dílo vychází z dostupných historických pramenů a odráží současný stav poznání, nejde o učebnici.

Le due guerre balcaniche del 1912-1913 sono comunemente considerate i prodromi della prima guerra mondiale. Bulgaria, Serbia, Grecia e Montenegro, coalizzate, affrontarono e vinsero nel 1912 l'impero ottomano in Tracia, in Macedonia, negli attuali Kosovo e Albania; i contrasti nella spartizione delle terre macedoni accesero nel 1913 un secondo conflitto, questa volta tra la Bulgaria e i suoi ex alleati. L'intera crisi fu accompagnata dal braccio di ferro diplomatico fra l'Austria-Ungheria e la Russia imperiale, moltiplicando le rivalità fra le grandi potenze.
