Book excerpt: This, the second volume in this ten-volume set, provides a complete timeline of significant events in the history of the torpedo boat throughout the world, with seventy-five magnificent illustrations in a full-color interior. This is the first book to provide the history and color illustrations of the "Al Rammah" torpedo invented by that Syrian engineer in 1280 AD-a full three hundred years and thousands of miles from the beginnings of European torpedo warfare in the Netherlands in 1585. Over time, new methods of naval architecture led to astounding vessels, large and small, that proved their value in the dozens of small wars that raged across the calendar and around the globe. The American Civil War was a cauldron of innovation in the technology of the "torpedo"-thoroughly documented here-while Russia was the first European nation to embrace the concept of spar-torpedo boat warfare. Quickly following were Italy, with is need small craft in the confines of the Adriatic, Tyrrhenian and Ligurian Seas. The nations of the world raced to build bigger, faster, and more powerful Torpedo Boats. It would be the Japanese who proved the investment in these new craft were worth every hour and every dime spent in their production. By 1899, small fast boats were here to stay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Casual stargazers are familiar with many classical figures and asterisms composed of bright stars (e.g., Orion and the Plough), but this book reveals not just the constellations of today but those of yesteryear. The history of the human identification of constellations among the stars is explored through the stories of some influential celestial cartographers whose works determined whether new inventions survived. The history of how the modern set of 88 constellations was defined by the professional astronomy community is recounted, explaining how the constellations described in the book became permanently “extinct.” Dr. Barentine addresses why some figures were tried and discarded, and also directs observers to how those figures can still be picked out on a clear night if one knows where to look. These lost constellations are described in great detail using historical references, enabling observers to rediscover them on their own surveys of the sky. Treatment of the obsolete constellations as extant features of the night sky adds a new dimension to stargazing that merges history with the accessibility and immediacy of the night sky.
