The Rockwell (Boeing North America, since 1996) B-1B Lancer, popularly known as the "Bone", (a derivation of B-One), was a veteran of some of the toughest, life-threatening fighting long before seeing combat.

A History of Inner Asia
Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521657040 | 2000 | PDF | 381 p. | 2.5 MB

This accessible introduction to Inner Asia traces its history from the arrival of Islam, through the various dynasties to the Russian conquest. The contemporary focus rests on the seven countries that make up present-day Eurasia: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Sinkiang and Mongolia. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, renewed interest in these countries has prompted considerable debate. While a divergent literature has evolved, no comprehensive survey of the region exists. This book will fill the gap and become indispensable for anyone studying or visiting the area.


"...eminently readable, often fascinating, and full of quirky but thought-provoking angles on the region's history..." Journal of World History

"Soucek...introduces the history and current status of seven countries that suddenly appeared in Western consciousness when the Soviet Union collapsed." Reference & Research Book News

The Cambridge History of Nineteenth-Century Music
Cambridge University Press | ISBN 0521590175 | 2001 | PDF | 784 p. | 2.45 MB

The most informed reference book on nineteenth-century music currently available, this comprehensive overview of music in the nineteenth century draws on the most recent scholarship in the field. Essays investigate the intellectual and socio-political history of the time, and examine topics such as nations and nationalism, the emergent concept of an avant garde, and musical styles and languages at the turn of the century. It contains a detailed chronology, and extensive glossaries.

"...highly recommended to advanced students, scholars, and (fairly sophisticated) readers in general. With its interesting viewpoints and wealth of information, it will make a valuable addition to the bibliography of surveys of the period." Journal of Musicological Research

"After more than three decades of discovery and controversy about Western at music of the 19th century, Samson ... has put together a collection that articulates contemporary understanding of that era's major issues.... Bringing together material heretofore dispersed in journals and hard-to-find collections, this volume is recommended for academic, professional, and public collections at all levels." Choice
