France, 1800-1914: A Social History
by Lecturer in Modern History Roger Magraw

The Diary deals with some of the most dramatic ev...

After realizing his childhood dream of becoming a wireless operator at seas, Watkins narrates his amazing predicaments. Whether it's a hurricane on a trawler, sinking docked warships, or hunting for gold in the mountains of Scotland, the tales of the ever-vibrant Bill Watkins capture his adventures with glorious effect.

The author concludes that in most of these regions the monuments faced sunrise, or more generally the...
