Oracles of Nostradamus

By: Charles A. Ward

Charles A. Ward is perhaps the best known of the academics who have endeavored to explain the relevance of Nostradamus' prophecies. He marshals an impressive array of linguistic and historical facts to back up his position on these enigmatic predictions. Charles Ward was a believer and once you've read his book you will be too. Since governments, sects, and countries will undergo such sweeping changes, diametrically opposed to what now obtains, that were I to relate events to come, those in power now-- monarchs, leaders of sects and religions-- would find these so different from their own imaginings that they would be led to condemn what later centuries will learn how to see and understand. - Nostradamus

Charles Willson Peale

Art and Selfhood in the Early Republic

By: David C. Ward

It links the artist's autobiography to his painting, illuminating the man, his art, and his times. Peale emerges for the first time as that particularly American phenomenon: the self-made man.

The Complete Works of Artemus Ward, Part 1

By: Farrar Browne Charles Farrar Browne,Charles Farrar Browne

There is a story of two "smart" Yankees, one named Hosea and the other Hezekiah, who met in an oyster shop in Boston. Said Hosea, "As to opening oysters, why nothing's easier if you only know how." "And how's how?" asked Hezekiah. "Scotch snuff," replied Hosea, very gravely-"Scotch snuff. Bring a little of it ever so near their noses, and they'll sneeze their lids off." "I know a man who knows a better plan," observed Hezekiah. "He spreads the bivalves in a circle, seats himself in the centre, reads a chapter of Artemus Ward to them, and goes on until they get interested. One by one they gape with astonishment at A. Ward's whoppers, and as they gape my friend whips 'em out, peppers away, and swallows 'em.

Ice Is Where You Find It

By: Capt. Charles W. Thomas USCG

You never can tell about ice—what it will be like—until you get there. Remember, ice is where you find it." Captain Thomas, whom Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd has termed “one of the best ice sailors alive,” was to recall his first lesson in polar navigation many times. He learned it the hard way when he was assigned to the command of the Coast Guard cutter Northland on wartime duty with the Greenland Patrol. Before 1943, though he was an experienced officer, he knew about ice only to the extent of grappling with the trays of his refrigerator! This was new business. Orders to hunt for Nazi weather stations meant combating a highly unpredictable foe, learning myriad tricks and a whole new jargon about compact fields, close pack, moderate pack, brash, floebergs, heaping ice, young ice, turret ice. The Northland's skipper was an “ice worm.” Ice Is Where You Find It is a colorful account of six expeditions which, linked together, round out a full circle of an expert navigator's exciting experiences in the frozen waters of both the Arctic and the Antarctic Circles. The first missions were of great military importance despite the fact that there were only a handful of German scientists and technicians in the far North Atlantic area—needles in a vast frozen haystack. This is a book about versatile men who—regard-less of peace or war—match their wits with weather, spend rigorous lives in the interests of science, patriotism and humanitarianism, and get a kick out of it! The tougher the assignment, the greater the challenge to coastguardmen in whose vocabulary there is no word “can't.”
