Book Description

General Nathanael Greene commanded the Southern army during the Revolutionary War, and after a series of successful battles, forced the British to retreat. After the Battle of Eutaw Springs, he caused the British evacuation of Charleston. This well-rounded biographical work covers Greene's antecedents and education to 1770, and his early life in Rhode Island from 1770 to 1775, when he took command of his Rhode Island troops in Boston. In 1776 he was promoted to the rank of major general, where he commanded a division during the disastrous retreat from Long Island, and was with General Washington during the difficult early battles at Fort Washington, the Jerseys, the Brandywine and Germantown. He was appointed Quartermaster General in 1777 and carried out those duties during the events at Valley Forge, Monmouth and Newport. In 1780 he resigned as Quartermaster General and was briefly in command at West Point, when he was appointed commander in chief of the Southern Army. Revolutionary War historians will appreciate the in-depth descriptions of the retreat to the Dan and the battle of Guilford Court House, the battle of Hobkirk's Hill, the siege of Ninety-Six, the Battle of Eutaw Springs and the close of the southern Campaign. The author was a practical soldier as well as a military critic. Based on a careful study of the printed sources, this book is more moderate in tone than other biographies of Greene. It is well supplied with maps and plans.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

Though the paradigm of modernist progression has been challenged on many fronts, Erasmus and other sixteenth-century figures are still commonly viewed as people who led the transition from a religious Middle Ages to a more godless modern era. By analyzing the lives, work, and correspondence of Erasmus, Thomas More, Margaret More Roper, Reginald Pole, Gasparo Contarini, and Vittoria Colonna, this book demonstrates how these Catholic men and women of letters created a distinctive kind of religious community rooted in friendship and spiritualized scholarship.

Book Description

1895. The following lectures were published as delivered by Froude at Oxford in 1893-1894. The aim of this work is to lead historical readers to a study of Erasmus' own writings than to provide an abbreviated substitute for them. Erasmus advises students to read only the best books on the subjects with which they are occupied. The best description of Europe in the age immediately preceding the Reformation will be found in the correspondence of Erasmus himself. The author promises the reader that if they will accept Erasmus for a guide in that entangled period, they will not wander far out of the way.

Book Description

Erasmus Darwin has often been cited as the most widely talented man of the past 250 years. He excelled in medicine and poetry; was an inventor and wide ranging man of science, and founded several societies. This collection of 460 of his letters, of which over half have never been published, provides an insight into the life of this amazing man. Darwin was famous throughout Britain as a physician; his medical letters to patients and private letters to his physician son Robert are a rich source for historians of medicine. His lively letters to the 'Lunar Men', Boulton, Watt, Keir and Wedgwood, provide insight into the Industrial Revolution in England. In the 1790s Darwin propounded the idea of biological evolution, although it was his grandson Charles who persuaded people to take it seriously. This unique collection reveals the variety of Erasmus Darwin's talents, and his wide range of important friendships.

School Counselor.......2007-03-26

This is an easy-to-read book that discusses the basic skills of helping children grieve. It is also a nice resource to give parents of grieving children because it isn't as long as some of the other books I have read in this category.

Good review of basic strategies.......2006-01-21

A very good review of the basic strategies that have proven to really help adults and children under these circumstances.I will also recommend to read "30 ways to help a grieving child" where you can find other complementary information and guidance. The two books are very clear and offer very useful concrete advise on what to do and what not to do BEFORE and after the death of a loved one.

Helps adults understand what a child is going through.......2004-01-02

My brother recently died suddenly, leaving behind a daughter nearly two years old. This book helped us understand what she is going through and also what to expect in the coming months. It is very good at explaining that children mourn in an entirely different way than adults do, so that behaviors that seem contradictory or heartless are actually not that at all. It also helped us know what to tell her and how to do it.

I highly recommend it, especially for children that are a bit too young for art therapy, but old enough to understand that something is wrong.

A Must Read even if you are not facing this challenge.......1998-02-10

Every parent, educator and concerned adult should read this book even if they are not currently helping a child through the loss of a loved one. Parents often spend a great deal of time reading about child development but they should not deglect another important part of development -- learning and dealing with death. This book was extremely valuable with helping me help my children deal with the death of their Grandfather.

Beautifully written. A must for all who work with children.......1996-12-09

Helping Children Cope with the Loss of a loved one, gives practical hands-on advice on how to help children from infants to 18 through the grieving process. Dr. Kroen explains how children at all ages and stages perceive and react to death. This book has recently won the 1996 Parent's Choice Award for excellence
