The Sea and Civilization - Book
RAN329
A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of maritime enterprise, revealing in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world’s waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human.

Portsmouth - Then and Now - Book - Paracay
Portsmouth - Then and Now - Book
ARC183
Residents and visitors strolling through the streets of Portsmouth may wonder about the changes the city has seen over the years.

In Then & Now: Portsmouth, authors William T. and Constance S. Warren share their collection of photographs, postcards, and maps to illustrate Portsmouth scenes of days gone by alongside contemporary photographs. Readers will enjoy the country seaport...

The Resurrected Pirate - Book - Paracay
The Resurrected Pirate: The Life, Death, and Subsequent Career of the Notorious George Lowther - Book
SPC085
Experience the adventures of the pirate George Lowther and learn how he was "resurrected" as a Royal Navy officer, nearly 20 years after his alleged death by suicide in 1723. George Lowther was a mutineer and a pirate, one of the most prolific during the golden age of piracy. His first mate, Edward "Ned" Low, went on to establish himself as perhaps the most sadistic and depraved of all pirate captains. Virtually all popular sources specify Lowther's death being by suicide in 1723, while marooned on the small island of Blanquilla, off the coast of Venezuela. While researching the War of Jenkins' Ear, historian Craig Chapman found...

Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird: The Illustrated History of America's Legendary Mach 3 Spy Plane - Book - Paracay
Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird: The Illustrated History of America's Legendary Mach 3 Spy Plane - Book
SPC082
The most complete book ever published on the SR-71 Blackbird, from initial design stage and testing through production, testing, and operations. The legendary SR-71 Blackbird spy plane was, and still is, the world's only operational Mach 3 aircraft, and was designed, built, and tested by Lockheed's famed Skunk Works. This new book covers all fifty Blackbirds built, from the first flight in 1962, to the last in 1999. As a replacement for the venerable U-2 spyplane, Lockheed went from contract signing to first flight in only thirty-two months starting in April 1958 - from the beginning of design studies to the signing of a contract from the...

The Esselen - Book - Paracay
The Esselen - Book
ROS002
Approximately 8,000 years ago, American Indian groups settled in the Monterey Bay area of California. Some groups, including the Esselen, have disappeared entirely. The arrival of the Sebastian Vizcaano and his fellow Spanish explorers brought about the end of the Esselen. These people contracted diseases to which the Europeans were immune, had their customs and traditions stripped from them, and eventually intermarried with other American Indian groups from the area. What was life like before the Europeans arrived? This book provides readers with evidence of the Esselen lifestyle and illustrates the importance of respecting the cultures...

SR-71 Blackbird: Lockheed's Ultimate Spy Plane - Book - Paracay
SR-71 Blackbird: Lockheed's Ultimate Spy Plane - Book
SPC079
As of 2023, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest manned jet aircraft ever produced. It set the record in 1976 and has been retired since the late 1990s. With its unrivaled speed and stunning appearance, the Blackbird has maintained an almost supernatural mystique to this day. The type entered service in the 1960s as a high-altitude (and obviously extremely high speed) military reconnaissance aircraft. Just 32 were built, nearly half of which were written off in accidents. Nearly 300 images are packed into this latest entry in the Legends of Warfare series. This is a great gift for your favorite modeler, pilot, or aspiring pilot.

Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk: An Illustrated History of the Stealth Fighter - Book - Paracay
Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk: An Illustrated History of the Stealth Fighter - Book
SPC080
The F-117 was probably the most secret aircraft ever developed. The Stealth technology upon which the plane was based made it unique in its appearance. With its stark black appearence and wispy configuration, the plane was a strange departure from the sleek supersonic fighters of the period. This new book covers the technical and operational aspects of the Nighthawk from its initial use over Panama through its shining moment during Operational Desert Storm. Bill Holder and Mike Wallace are also the authors of Mc Donnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle: A Photo Chronicle. Bill Holder is also co-author, with Steve Markman, of One-of-A-Kind Research...
