Operation Typhoon began and in the first week of the offensive, the three German panzer armies surrounded virtually the bulk of the Soviet forces barring the way to Moscow.

Mary of Guise in Scotland, 1548-1560: A Political Career
Pamela E. Ritchie Manufacturer: Tuckwell Press, Ltd. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1862321841 |
Book Description
Challenging the conventional interpretation of Mary of Guise as the defender of Catholicism whose regime climaxed with the Reformation Rebellion, this book shows that she was, on the contrary, a shrewd and effective politician whose own dynastic interests and those of her daughter took precedence over her personal and religious convictions. Detailed is how Mary of Guise's dynasticism, and political career as a whole, were inextricably associated with those of Mary, Queen of Scots, whose Scottish sovereignty, Catholic claim to the English throne, and betrothal to the Dauphin of France carried with them notions of Franco-British Imperialism.Customer Reviews:
At last - a serious study of a sixteenth-century queen,.......2003-12-16
16th century Europe is one of the most fascinating periods in history, populated by some of the such colourful and well-known figures as Henry VIII, Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I and Bloody Mary. It is also a century, as the names listed above suggest, that features a large number of women in positions of power. Mary of Guise, mother of Mary Queen of Scots, was another of these powerful political women.
The side-effect of the colourful nature of the lives of some of these women is that sixteenth-century history books often read like little more than romantic fiction. They play up the history of personalities (often based on poor research and quasi-psychological guesswork), but ignore the serious side of the women who ruled some of the most powerful kingdoms in Europe.
Pamela E. Ritchie does not make this mistake. Her book is a serious study of a serious woman, and is based on meticulous and extensive research. But the book is no turgid academic tome, and Ritchie manages the difficult trick of providing a thoroughly readable and engaging study of the career and ambitions of a fascinating woman. Mary of Guise has traditionally been written off in Scotland as the main agent of an unpopular French/Catholic domination of Scotland that took place in the 1550s, which was overturned by the popular revolution of John Knox's Reformation in 1560. Ritchie shows this was not the case. Instead Guise, for most of the 1550s, enjoyed considerable support from Scots, and her plans for a dynastic union of the French and Scottish crowns by the marriage of Mary Queen of Scots to the Dauphin Francois was supported by Catholic and Protestant Scots alike. Guise, above all, was a skilled politician who carefully balanced the difficult circumstances of the dynastic conflicts of sixteenth-century Europe to best pursue the interests of her own family (les Guises) and her daughter, the monarch of Scotland. That her regime collapsed in 1560 as a result of a rebellion brought about as much by the role of a new protestant regime in England as any deep-seated popular hatred of the French influence in Scotland, should not obscure the successes of her time in power.

16th century Scottish politics.......2003-11-16
The author has done a lot of original research into Scottish politics during the minority of Mary, Queen of Scots and in reality this is what you'll find in this book and it takes up 99% of the first half of the book.
We get to see Mary de Guise in a more biographical form in the second half of the book. However, if you buy this book expecting to read a biography of Mary de Guise you will probably be disappointed. While Mary's political actions are dealt with in great detail, in the end you feel you really don't know that much about her. Instead you know more about how King Henri of France felt about Scotland, or the importance of various treaties than you do about Mary herself.
This is a first rate book for those who want to know the ins and outs of the various political schemes in Scotland from 1548-1560 but less successfully gives us a real feel for the personality of Mary of Guise. On the plus side the author has included a number of quotes from original documents in both their original French and with English translations for those of us not fluent in the French language and all the sources are well footnoted.

Saucer Wisdom
Rudy Rucker Manufacturer: Tor Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0312868839 |
Amazon.com
Are there aliens watching you right now? After reading Rudy Rucker's Saucer Wisdom, you'll wonder. Rucker's "nonfiction novel" follows the author as he works with a saucer contactee who has bales of information about the future and expects him to make a book out of it. Written straight, it presents the author's vision of future technology as though benevolent aliens were filling him in, though some of the details seem suspiciously similar to his novels. It's brilliantly funny, prescient, and as fully engaging as a coffee-fueled late-night conversation with a slightly manic genius. From the aloof-yet-naughty aliens (they refuse to show his contactee friend the future of artificial intelligence because it's "boring") to the detailed, personalized visions of future people's technology, Saucer Wisdom shines with a humanity firmly rooted right here on Earth.Rucker's style is perfect for this material, and his imagination soars. What if aliens travel through complex interstellar radio signals and are attracted to chaos? What if we develop telepathy transmitted over television? What if we perfect genetic engineering? It wouldn't occur to other futurists to suggest a half-dozen pet compsognathii in the backyard of the future, but Rucker goes a step further and literally draws a picture. The 57 illustrations--attributed to Frank the contactee--highlight the text like James Thurber on acid. Saucer Wisdom could have been as boring as most other future histories, but it seems that "the William S. Burroughs of cyberpunk" can't help but write good books. Lucky for us. --Rob Lightner
Book Description
Rudy Rucker, a world-famous mathematician and a descendant of the philosopher Hegel, is the author of a number of popular science books including the bestselling The Fourth Dimension. In Saucer Wisdom, he creates a non-fiction novel, using himself as the central character. Rucker the character, is given views of the future of technology and society, especially in California, by a man abducted by the inhabitants of a tiny flying saucer.Customer Reviews:
entertaining but not one of Rucker's better works.......2006-07-03
Fun read... don't take it seriously.......2005-04-16
Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't?.......2004-01-04
Just finished this "speculative nonfiction" book by one of my
favorite SF writers. Eh. It's structured "as told by" a UFO abductee
(nudge, wink), or as B. Sterling writes in the intro: "This book is not
the puerile ravings of a UFO-stricken madman, but a *firmly
controlled, intelligent* hallucination...."
Umm. The ideas are mostly recycled from Rucker's fiction (where I
much preferrred them), and told in the kind of fake-future dialog
that I've always *loathed* in pop-sci books. Admittedly, RR's
novelistic talent shines through at times, but it's a pretty clunky
book overall.
The morning after finishing "Saucer Wisdom", the Nov 99 Analog
arrived, and Tom Easton notes, in a generally favorable review, that he prefers RR's
pop-sci books to his fiction. Although I agree with Easton's reviews
more often than not, I think just the opposite here; I tried another Rucker pop-sci AWB, and
put it down after a few chapters.
So who knows? Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. Eh.
YMMV -- Pete Tillman
The future through the eyes of a flying saucer..........2003-12-03
The World According to Rudy.......2001-10-01
What IS surprising is how lamely it is all presented. The basic premise is that a saucer abductee named Frank Shook tells Rudy the future as it was revealed to him by aliens, but I guess Rudy wasn't counting on any of his previous readers getting ahold of this book, because this future is all-too familiar to us. By presenting his various ideas for future biotech advances in short vignettes "as told to Frank Shook" Rudy saves himself the trouble of crafting a coherent plotline to contain them. In fact, one of the entries in Rudy's "Seek!" collection of non-fiction was a "Tech Notes toward a Cyberpunk Novel," a sort-of shorthand collection of cool ideas he'd like to incorporate into some future novel.
"Saucer Wisdom" reads like an expansion of "Tech Notes" -- lots of jumbled ideas (some quite cool, others not) but nothing yet written to place them into the context of a story. This is not really a novel, not really a book of predictions (like Ray Kurzweil's "The Spiritual Machine"), but more of a notepad of ideas which Rudy has toyed with over the past decade.
The book could have had fun with the self-referential aspect of it, but instead took a tone I found a little annoying -- saying several times that this exact book, "Saucer Wisdom," was to become so influential that it actually creates the future it describes and remains intensely popular into the 40th Century.
He wishes.

The Children of Wisdom: An Introduction to the Tarish Rite Apostolic Church, 1525-1999
Patrick R. Saucer Manufacturer: Universal Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1581128479 |
Book Description
McKee wrote in 1925 that "The Protestant tradition, which holds up to popular scorn Dame Elizabeth Barton, O.S.B., commonly known as the maid of Kent, has been received without question by many generations. Only in recent years have a few historians undertaken to study her case impartially, and to shift out the truth from the falsehoolds and misrepresentations with which it has so long been overlaid". My little book contains the truth about Dame Barton and the holy church that she co-founded with St. Bishop Fisher.This book was designed for those that are newly converted to our church and for those that have an earnest design to learn more about the Tarish Rite Apostolic Church.
