This Is A New Release Of The Original 1840 Edition.
This action-packed, first-hand account chronicles the mission of
Canada's most famous naval warship from her commissioning in 1943
to her return to Halifax for a refit in late 1944. The ship began
her career on convoy duty from Britain to Murmansk, and the book
includes a vivid description of the battle between the HMS Duke of
York and the German Scharnhorst that led to the Scharnhorst's
destruction. Haida went on to patrol the French coast in the months
leading up to D-Day, and then with her sister ships guarded the
Western Approaches on D-Day itself, sinking two German destroyers
and crippling two more. Commander William Sclater witnessed these
events first-hand, and his description-together with paintings by
Grant Macdonald-provides a vivid recounting of the heroic days of
the Second World War.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
