Like the Great War generation before them, the Old Boys of King Edward VI School, Stratford-upon-Avon, (known as Shakespeares School) answered the Nations call to arms in 1939 with steely determination and, it has to be presumed, an absolute belief in the cause for which they were fighting. Over the next six years, no less than fifty-two of these young men fought and died for their Country. This evocative and carefully researched book tells each ones story. The author paints a picture of the character of the individual concerned, along with his family background, his contribution to the School and, most importantly, his war service and the circumstances of his death. Some perished in lonely cockpits during the Battle of Britain and the Bombing campaign. Others fought and died at sea whether on Atlantic convoys, the Mediterranean campaign or in the Far East. The soldiers among them fell in the glare of the Western Desert fighting the Germans and Italians and in the unforgiving jungles of Burma repulsing the Japanese. In one case, death came in a German concentration camp. Who can tell what influence the strong ethos of this small grammar school with its enduring values of decency and comradeship will have played during the years of hostilities on both those who made the supreme sacrifice and others who were fortunate enough to survive? What is certain is that the example set by those former members of Shakespeares School whose stories are told in this book must never be forgotten by their successors.

In recent years, major new archaeological discoveries have redefined the development of towns and cities in Japan. This fully illustrated book provides a sampler of these findings for a western audience. The new discoveries from Japan are set in context of medieval archaeology beyond Japan by accompanying essays from leading European specialists.

The Archaeology of Medieval Towns: Case Studies from Japan and Europe

Who are the people of the Ryukyu Islands? How could they survive and prosper on small, isolated islands? How did the independent Ryukyu Kingdom become a major player in East Asian medieval trade? Ancient Ryukyu explores 30,000 years of human occupation in the Ryukyu Islands, from the earliest human presence in the region up to A.D. 1609 and the emergence of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It focuses on the unique geopolitical position of the islands, their environment, and the many human communities whose historical activities can be discerned. Drawing on the impressive work of dozens of local archaeologists who have brought the islands’ early history to life, Richard Pearson describes explorers and sojourners and colonists who arrived thousands of years ago, and their ancient trade links to Japan, Korea, and China. Through a case study focused on the medieval castles and palaces of the Ryukyu Kingdom, he demonstrates the vigorous trade taking place in East Asia before the arrival of the Europeans in the sixteenth century A.D. He also shows how archaeologists have sought to reconstruct monuments on Okinawa Island that were obliterated in the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. Through analysis of work completed at about 120 sites described in dozens of rare Japanese government reports with limited circulation, Pearson is able to show that many modern features of the culture, politics, and economy of the Ryukyu Islands have very deep roots. The book concludes with a discussion of aspects of Ryukyu archaeology that are significant for world archaeology and the archaeology of islands. Ancient Ryukyu offers an up-to-date treatment of an unusually long span of human history in the Ryukyu Islands and will become the definitive work in English on the premodern era.

This is book 1 of a two Volume set. The Nottingham Date Book is a book of the history of Nottingham from 850 to 1884. In particular, after about 1750, it is full of references to every-day happenings in the town and its people. Not just important people, but normal people too. Its fascination for me is not only because I was born in Nottingham and interested in its history, but also as a family historian, as it contains so many references to people and every-day events. It is a particularly rare book, and even more so in its complete edition up to 1884.

HISTORY OF NOTTINGHAM

The Augustinian canons moved to Dale Abbey in 1162 from their previous home at Calke Abbey. A few years later they were replaced by Premonstratensian canons from Tupholme and finally, a few years after this, by another group of Premonstratensians from Welbeck. All these attempts failed, primarily due to the isolation of the area and the lack of good arable land amidst the thick woodlands. From around the year 1199, the Abbey became well established enough?and with the acquisition of further lands, tithes and other properties?to survive for the next 340 years. Although a relatively large establishment, the abbey was home to no more than 24 canons. The Abbey provided priests at Ilkeston, Heanor, Kirk Hallam and Stanton by Dale. The Abbey owned around 24,000 acres (97 km) of land. Much would have been leased or rented out or used for grazing or for the production of produce for the residents of the Abbey.

UNVEILING THE HIDDEN MYSTERY OF AMERICA'S ROLE IN BIBLE PROPHECY The world is ever-changing. As we witness unrest, political upheaval, pandemics, and general uncertainty, we have to wonder, "What in the world is going on?" What seems like a continual roller coaster ride is disturbing, and people are looking for answers. You can stop looking because the answers can be found in the writings of the ancient prophets. In this new study guide, The Hour That Changes Everything, Richard Pearson will take us through the Bible, highlighting God's plan for America's current and future role in the End Times. Something is indeed happening, and Richard Pearson digs deeply into the Bible to help you understand biblical prophecy from a refreshingly new perspective. With each chapter, you do not only learn more about prophecy, but you'll also clearly discover hidden mysteries pointing to the United States' role in it. IT WILL COME IN ONE HOUR While the Bible has plenty to say about the End Times, The Hour That Changes Everything will uncover the greatest "time sequence " in human history. In that one hour, an incredible cataclysmic change will cover the world pivoting around The USA. But at the same time, even as the hour brings judgment, Richard Pearson details how the God who delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Babylon's fiery furnace, will once again manifest His presence, in our generation, and miraculously open a door for our escape. Richard Pearson founded Richard Pearson Ministries while serving for twenty-one years on the executive board of Oral Roberts University. Retired now as CEO of several Canadian transportation companies, He and his wife, Karen, reside in Canada.
