Classic Fiction, Fiction, literary fiction, Literature & Fiction, Non-fictionFive Weeks in a Balloon [hardcover] Jules Verne
A journey of discovery by three Englishmen in Africa: Five Weeks in a Balloon by Jules Verne, published in 1863. Readers get a peek at the discovery of Africa in this book, which was still mostly unknown to Europeans at the time. The mission of Samuel Fergusson aims to connect the expeditions of Heinrich Barth in the Sahara and Chad with those of Sir Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke in East Africa. Although it is truly a savanna, the novel refers to the uncharted interior of Africa around the present-day Central African Republic as a desert. Starting in Zanzibar, the journey continues through Agadez, Timbuktu, Djenné, Lake Victoria, Lake Chad, and Ségou.Finding the source of the Nile was a major goal of the early expedition. Bringing together the other explorers is the second leg. There are several action-packed sequences that either feature a battle with a local or one with the environment

Textile Technology
Flat Machine Knitting & Fabrics by Horace David Buck (Hardcover)
- ISBN : 978-8182478107
- Page : 150
- Dimensions : 22 x 14 x 1.2 cm
There being no suitable text book available, particularly on the elementary subjects, I was obliged to prepare my own material for the instruction of the students. The results of this work are contained in this volume, which is devoted to the various types of flat latch needle machines. It is my intention to follow this with other volumes covering circular latch needle machines, spring needle machines, etc., with their products. The various chapters of this work have been published in the knitting technical section of TEXTILE WORLD but I believe their usefulness will be increased by this revision and publication in more convenient book form. One of the greatest needs for the advancement of the knitting industry to the position it should occupy in the world of textiles is available technical information, and it is hoped that this volume with the ones to follow will supply, in some degree, this need.

Forgotten Mutinies of India’s Freedom Struggle [hardcover] DR. Shrankhala H.Das
Hisorical, History, Indian HistoryForgotten Mutinies of India’s Freedom Struggle [hardcover] DR. Shrankhala H.Das
India’s fight for independence is often associated with landmark events like the 1857 Revolt, the Non-Cooperation Movement, and the Quit India Movement. However, scattered across the country’s long and tumultuous history are lesser-known mutinies—acts of defiance that, though overshadowed by larger uprisings, played a crucial role in shaping the freedom struggle. In Forgotten Mutinies of India’s Freedom Struggle, Dr. Sharnkhala H. Das brings to light these hidden chapters of resistance, narrating the stories of unsung heroes, rebellious battalions, and grassroots revolts that challenged colonial rule. Drawing from historical records, letters, and firsthand accounts, the book uncovers incidents that were either overlooked or deliberately erased from mainstream history. This meticulously researched work takes readers on a journey across different regions, from the early revolts of the 18th century to localized military uprisings, tribal rebellions, and spontaneous civilian protests that defied British authority. Through compelling storytelling and sharp analysis, Dr. Das offers a fresh perspective on India’s struggle for independence, emphasizing that no act of resistance—no matter how small—was insignificant in the fight for freedom. Forgotten Mutinies of India’s Freedom Struggle is an essential read for history enthusiasts, researchers, and anyone eager to rediscover the hidden voices of India’s past.
