With the coming of the Roman General Gaius Julius Caesar to Britain in both 55BC and 54BC, life changed forever for the tribes inhabiting the British islands. Emperor of Rome Antoninius Pius succeeded Emperor Hadrian on his death in AD 138. It was Antoninius who gave orders for the Roman Army to march into Scotland. Under his instructions the new Roman frontier was built: The Antonine Wall in Scotland. The Antonine Guard belong to a History Society driven to inform on Scotland's ancient history. The Sixth Legion stood as example and source for research for the modern Antonine Guard. A founder member of this Society, John S. Richardson grew up with a fascination for civilizations of the past and has a lifelong interest in the history of Egypt, Greece and Rome. This book he wrote especially for you.

Torn from his home in the early 20th Century, John Matson must make a new home and a new life 1,000 years in the future. He is a man much more out of place...he's out of time. But rather than settle down and peacefully surrender the rest of his days to a mundane existence, John embarks on an adventure that will take him into the heart of an interstellar war and beyond the borders of our own galaxy.

Illuminates the aesthetics of a major American composer.

Arctic exploration from the Romans to 1859 is described by the explorer Sir John Richardson (1787-1865) in this work, first published in 1861. Richardson also provides descriptions of the Arctic's weather, ice, natural history and native peoples. The book's second part discusses the largely unexplored Antarctic.

This well-illustrated 1854 work describes the zoological specimens collected by the survey ship H.M.S. Herald during its voyage into Arctic seas. The fauna collected include fossil mammals from the ice cliffs at Eschscholtz Bay, first discovered in 1816 by Otto von Kotzebue.
