Russia's emergence as a Great Power in the eighteenth century is usually attributed to Peter Is radical programme of Westernising reforms. But the Russian military did not simply copy European armies. Adapting the tactics of its neighbours on both sides, Russia created a powerful strategy of its own, integrating steppe defence with European concerns. In Russia's Wars of Emergence, Carol Stevens examines the social and political factors underpinning Muscovite military history, the eventual success of the Russian Empire in the 18th century, and the sacrifices made for power.

Sky's Amazing Dream This is the story of a fun loving Golden Retriever and his phantasmagorical dream. Sky is a playful dog who thinks that he's a boy. He is strong and athletic and sometimes just plain silly. He loves to make people happy. He loves to bring joy wherever he goes. He believes in magic and he knows that he has magical powers. Sky's Amazing Dream shows how a happy dog with a wonderful dream, can turn a dog into a boy, make rocks into gold, meet the President of the United States and make children all over the world happy as pie! Yes, Sky is the super hero of a just published children's book, Sky's Amazing Dream. But he is also a real dog, the most famous canine of Bedford, New York and truly a Dog Of The World. Best of all, Sky is available for personal appearances, book signings and happy celebrations with kids at bookstores, schools, libraries. If you like, Sky will bring his mom and dad (with whom he wrote the book) and they will all read the book to your friends and members.
