As one of the greatest generals to emerge from the War Between the States, James Longstreet fought in nearly every major battle of the Civil War . . . Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Wilderness and many others, but it was his stand after the war and his efforts to help heal the Union which further define him as a man apart. As a result, controversy followed him for the rest of his life. Not much is known about his family and even less about his personal life . . . and much of what is known has been inaccurately portrayed or deliberately biased by historians. Only recently have scholars taken another, closer look at this great warrior. They have exposed the deliberate lies of the Lee cult designed to ruin his reputation. General James Longstreet: A Family Portrait is a genealogy and attempts to define the man by taking a closer look at his progenitors and prodigy, those who came before him and those he left behind. It is a fascinating tapestry of nobility, adventurers and everyday people. Masterly woven together and easy to follow through the generations, it's a story well worth reading.

This series of short essays by Helen D. Longstreet, second wife of Confederate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, was first compiled and published in 1917 by A. B. Caldwell Publishing Co. in Atlanta, Ga. For the most part they are interesting stories about events which occurred during and after the Civil War. Helen talks about her family and how she met and fell in love with the old soldier, a man 40 years her senior. She vehemently defends her husband against scurrilous accusations spewed forth by the Lee cult, a group of ex-Confederates, who sabotaged the reputation of anyone who was bold enough to criticize any aspect of General Robert E. Lee's conduct during the war.
The Chemistry of Titanium, Zirconium and Hafnium deals with the chemistry of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium and covers topics ranging from the occurrence and metallurgy of all three elements to their nuclear, physical, and chemical properties as well as analytical chemistry. The compounds of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium are also discussed. This volume is comprised of two chapters and opens with a historical overview and discovery of titanium, along with its occurrence and distribution, metallurgical aspects, and nuclear and physicochemical properties. The compounds of titanium are also considered, including alloys and complexes; hydrides and oxides; halides and oxyhalides; titanates and antimonides; and carbides and borides. The second chapter is devoted to zirconium and hafnium, their occurrence and metallurgy; and physical, chemical, and biological properties. Compounds of zirconium and hafnium are described, from alloys and hydrides to zirconates and hafnates; nitrides, phosphides, and arsenides; carbides, silicides, and germanides; molybdates, tungstates, halates, and perchlorates; alkoxides, mercaptides, and dithiocarbamates; and amides, alkylamides, triazenes, phthalocyanines, and bipyridyls. This book will be a valuable source of information for inorganic chemists.
Money Really Does Grow on Trees' compares socialism and capitalism, the 2020 Presidential campaigns for the Democrat Presidential nomination and attempts to project how much the many things being promised will cost. Nobody has delved in depth into the staggering cose of all the things the left says must be accomplished within ten years in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal. Each portion of the GND is explored. Never has the choice been so great. The issues are complex, involving promises that would cost trillions of dollars. The rule changes made to the primaries, caucuses and their convention by the Democrats are complex, and may have a significant effect on the outcome, especially if Bernie Sanders has not locked up the required number of delegates going into the convention. Until this year, candidates "won" a state, getting its delegates; now with proportional allocation of delegates, the "winner" can get 30 delegates, the runner up 29 delegates and several others getting 5 or 10. California, New York and Illinois appear in many chapters because they are the best examples of how lawmakers, thinking they are solving a problem, make it much worse. The platform of the Democrat Party could easily bankrupt the country. The situation twists and turns every day.
