The Ukrainian anarchist Maria Nikiforova (1885-1919) rose from the slums of industrial Alexandrovsk to become a ferocious terrorist and military commander who sacrificed everything for the cause of the Russian Revolution. A revolutionary from the age of sixteen, she fought for freedom of the oppressed on three continents, ended up on trial for her life on at least four occasions, and was sentenced to death twice. Her exploits became the stuff of folklore, but she was "blacklisted" by official historians and her story was lost for generations. Now, thanks to the good folks at Black Cat Press, her story is available again--and in English!

A compelling introduction to the whaling and sealing industry in Northeast Scotland's Moray Firth, Malcolm Archibald's A Wild Rough Lot will guide you through the trade's history, dangers and successes. Beginning with a brief look at the geography and maritime history of Northeast Scotland's ports, the book introduces the Scottish whaling industry through contemporary journals and log books. Laden with illuminating examples, the book covers topics from the stages of a typical whaling voyage to the brutal, often bloody process of the sealing industry. In-depth details of the trade in Moray Firth concentrate on the successes of specific ports and ships in the area, including the short-lived whaling industry in Nairn, the prosperous trade and insurance case of Banff, the fortunes and dangers of the Arctic and prominent ship Felix, and a yearly account of the whaling and sealing trade in the most successful port, Fraserburgh. Beyond a glimpse into the industry, the book provides useful details of the vessels and an 1859 crew list useful for those seeking a chance to trace their family roots in the maritime industry. This is the large print edition of A Wild Rough Lot, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.

Dance If Ye Can is an introduction to the huge variety of battles fought in Scotland, or fought by the Scots in the nearly nine hundred years when they were an independent nation. The first part of the book serves as an introduction to Scottish history, while the second section portrays the Scottish soldier throughout history. Part three gives an alphabetical guide and brief notes of the many hundred battles, skirmishes and sieges that pepper the history of Scotland. Unlike most battle books, Dance If Ye Can does not concentrate solely on the well-known battles. Rather, it gives space to many of the near-forgotten skirmishes and clan battles, as well as the more famous encounters such as Bannockburn and Culloden. The earliest battles concern the Roman invasion of 83 AD, while the last was the German attack on the Royal Navy in the Firth of Forth in 1939. In between are mentions of the wars against the Norse and the English, with various civil wars and disturbances, the Jacobite Risings and the clan wars of the Borders and Highlands. The final section is a timeline of Scottish history that brings the book to the post-devolution period in the twenty-first century. This is the large print edition of Dance If Ye Can, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
