Justina Ireland 262940

Deathless Divide

Titan Books Limited, 2020. Paperback. Pp: 576. Age range 14+ After the fall of Summerland, Jane McKeene hoped her life would get simpler: Get out of town, stay alive, and head west to California to find her mother. But nothing is easy when you're a girl trained in putting down the restless dead, and a devastating loss on the road to a protected village called Nicodemus has Jane questioning everything she thought she knew about surviving in 1880s America. What's more, this safe haven is not what it appears-as Jane discovers when she sees familiar faces from Summerland amid this new society. Caught between mysteries and lies, the undead, and her own inner demons, Jane soon finds herself on a dark path of blood and violence that threatens to consume her. But she won't be in it alone. Katherine Deveraux never expected to be allied with Jane McKeene. But after the hell she has endured, she knows friends are hard to come by-and that Jane needs her too, whether Jane wants to admit it or not. Watching Jane's back, however, is more than she bargained for, and when they both reach a breaking point, it's up to Katherine to keep hope alive-even as she begins to fear that there is no happily-ever-after for girls like her.

Dread Nation

Titan Books Limited, 2019. Paperback. Pp: 451. Shortlisted for the 2019 Hugo Awards: Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book Age range 14 to 18 A story of the undead like you've never read before, Justina Ireland's Dread Nation is a fresh, stunning, and powerful meditation on race in America wrapped in an alternate-history adventure where Confederate and Union soldiers rise from the dead at the end of the Civil War. Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the battlefields of Civil War-era America - derailing the War Between the States and changing the nation forever. In this new nation, safety for all depends on the work of a few, and laws like the Native and Negro Re-education Act require certain children to attend combat schools to learn to put down the dead. But there are also opportunities - and Jane is studying to become an Attendant, trained in both weaponry and etiquette to protect the well-to-do. It's a chance for a better life for Negro girls like Jane. After all, not even being the daughter of a wealthy white Southern woman could save her from society's expectations. But that's not a life Jane wants. Almost finished with her education at Miss Preston's School of Combat in Baltimore, Jane is set on returning to her Kentucky home and doesn't pay much mind to the politics of the eastern cities, with their talk of returning America to the glory of its days before the dead rose. But when families around Baltimore County begin to go missing, Jane is caught in the middle of a conspiracy, one that finds her in a desperate fight for her life against some powerful enemies. And the restless dead, it would seem, are the least of her problems. At once provocative, terrifying, and darkly subversive, Dread Nation is Justina Ireland's stunning vision of an America both foreign and familiar - a country on the brink, at the explosive crossroads where race, humanity, and survival meet. 'Will catch readers off-guard with its blend of genres: it starts out as an historical thriller but then tosses in hard hits of mystery, dystopian reimagining, romance, and humor. Jane's voice reads familiar to more contemporary considerations of Black girlhood, with elements such as beauty standards, colorism, and friendships.' - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review).

Naval Warfare in the Age of Sail

Norton, 2000. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 240. Covering the classic era of sailing ship warfare from the mid-eighteenth century to the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, Naval Warfare in the Age of Sail reveals how warships were built, sailed, and fought in the era made popular today by the novels of Patrick O'Brian and C. S. Forester. The often dense technical detail of these works is explained here for the general reader through text and illustrations that bring the period vividly to life. Through his discussions of single-ship actions, fleet operations, famous commanders, and the day-to-day routines of the men who worked the ships, Bernard Ireland investigates how the navy of King George III came to dominate the high seas, ushering in a century of British maritime supremacy. Acclaimed naval artist Tony Gibbons illustrates every type of sailing warship from ships of the line, frigates, and sloops to privateers' schooners, bomb ketches, and xebecs. ISBN: 9780393049831.

The World Encyclopedia of Amphibious Warfare Vessels. An Illustrated History of Modern Amphibious Warfare

Lorenz Books, 2011. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 256. Wars are decided definitively through the occupation of an enemy's territory. This is a task for military forces, which may have to be transported by sea. In extreme cases, as in the Pacific War of 1941-45, this may involve trans-oceanic passages. Thus is created the conflicting requirement for ships sufficiently large to undertake lengthy voyages, together with craft small enough to put an army and its equipment on to a beach that may be defended by a determined enemy. In the sailing navy, ships landed military contingents in special 'flatboats', the direct descendents of which were the 1940 LCAs, carried under davits by an LSI. In these were typified the two major categories of amphibious warfare vessel: the 'ship', travelling from shore to shore, and the 'craft', moving from ship to shore. This authoritative book details the development of amphibious warfare and, through the use of historical examples, illustrates its great range of scale, from raiding to full-scale invasion. It highlights the many coordinated activities necessary for a successful operation, from surveying and minesweeping to fire support, fighter direction and tri-service control. An illustrated directory of landing ships covers the ocean-going vessels that transport personnel, cargo or vehicles. It includes the most important amphibious vessels of today: float-on, float-off welldeck ships that are designed to operate landing craft large enough to handle main battle tanks. The next part of the book is a directory of landing craft, the majority of which, depending upon voyage length, will have been transported aboard specialist ships. World War II saw basic ramped craft joined by tracked amphibious vehicles. The imperatives of the nuclear age have seen the introduction of helicopters and high-speed air-cushion landing craft. This instructive volume, containing 530 photographs from museums, libraries and other historical sources, provides enthusiasts with a lively and engaging guide to this fascinating subject. Charts the complete history of amphibious warfare, including operations in Gallipoli, Dieppe, the Pacific, Normandy, Leyte Gulf, Iwo Jima, Vietnam, the Falklands and the Middle East, Features a directory of landing ships, detailing conventional personnel and cargo carriers, welldeck ôdock shipsö and modern multi-function ships, accommodating helicopters, landing craft, military personnel, their vehicles and equipment, Also features a directory of landing craft, from ramped beaching craft to present-day high-speed air-cushion craft, including amphibious tracked landing vehicles and peripheral activities such as minesweeping and obstacle clearance, Specification boxes provide at-a-glance information about each vessel's country of origin, displacement, dimensions, armament, machinery, power and endurance, Includes a glossary explaining naval acronyms, abbreviations and key terminology, and illustrated with more than 530 archive photographs.
