Following on from The God-Kings of Europe, The God-Kings of England, continues the Saga of the great Ulvungar Dynasty. It shows that there was a plan to counter the hegemony of Roman Christianity, by counter attacking, first with Viking raids and later by conquest and settlement. This is the tale of the Ulvungars and their attempt to conquer England, under the leadership of Danish Kings such as Sweyn Forkbeard and Canute. They were opposed by their Odonic Anglo-Saxon cousins such as Alfred and Aethelred. The Ulvungars would take control by force of arms. One branch would take England; another would take control of Normandy. Ultimately, they would combine after the Battle of Hastings in the Anglo-Norman Dynasty that would found the Angevin Empire.This book shows the web of marriages and alliances and the detailed planning that went into the final push that culminated at the Battle of Hastings. It shows how the Davidic line of Jesus was protected by the Odonic Kings of England and Dukes of Normandy.In the appendices the author traces and explains who William the Conqueror's real ancestors were and shows detailed genealogies.

How do the gears of governmental research and development (R&D) funding grind to assess, allocate and maintain myriad proposals, projects, and programs? Understanding the intricacies of the Pentagon R&D structure and function is vital for the survival of the new governmental employee, and sustained success of more seasoned professionals. This information is equally important for researchers, contractors and administrators who work with Pentagon R&D agencies, as it clarifies the workings of this vast- and often confusing- system. Hugh Montgomery brings more than four decades of experience, a significant portion of which was spent as the Department of Navy senior career civilian for science and technology (S&T) requirements and resources – and Resource Sponsor for the programs executed by the Office of Naval Research, to afford a better understanding of how to approach the vast federal system for funding or information. As well, his insights can relate to other public – and private – sector bureaucracies. In creating a roadmap toward “…peace, enlightenment and potential funding in the Pentagon R&D bureaucracy”, Montgomery describes an often dry and moribund federal system as an unexpectedly interesting entity. A “how-to” primer, this updated 2nd edition begins with the basics of the President’s budget and culminates in the sophisticated machinations of the Pentagon's R&D funding hierarchy. Case examples gained through decades of experience provide a thorough guide to the practices – and pitfalls – that affect a successful career in governmental R&D.
