Author: Morgan Campbell
Narrator: Morgan Campbell
The debut memoir from award-winning journalist Morgan Campbell: an incredible history of a family’s battles across generations, a hilarious and emotional coming-of-age story, and a powerful reckoning with what it means to be Black in Canada-particularly when you have strong American roots. Morgan Campbell comes from "a fighting family," a connection and clash that reaches back to the south side of Chicago in the 1930s. His father’s and mother’s families were both part of the Great Migration from the U.S. rural south to the industrial north, but a history of perceived slights and social-class differences solidified a great feud that only intensified over the course of the century after the families came together in marriage and split up across the border.

Free Download James Dodds, James Moore – Building the Wooden Fighting Ship
Facts on File | 1984 | ISBN: 0871969793 | English | 136 pages | PDF | 129.94 MB
Before the age of industry, the timber-built ship was one of the most complex and technologically advanced objects built by man. The ships were so expensive to construct that meticulous records were kept, from the purchase of timber to the last details of their furnishings. For this beautiful and highly informative book, the authors have tapped all available resources to tell the story of the building of HMS Thunderer, a two-decked, 74-gun ship-of-the-line. In words and drawings as well as contemporary prints and paintings, they capture every stage of its construction, from purchase and cutting of timbers through launch in 1760. There is also a description of the Woolwich dockyard where Thunderer was built along with explanations of the skills and trades involved. First published in 1984, this vivid and often surprising account of life and labor in the eighteenth century will appeal to historians, modelers, and everyone with an interest in traditional workmanship. 200 illustrations.

Free Download Carsten Wergin, "Tourism, Indigeneity, and the Importance of Place: Fighting for Heritage at Australia’s Last Frontier "
English | ISBN: 1793648255 | 2023 | 266 pages | EPUB | 17 MB
The book presents a long-term ethnographic study of arguably the largest environmental protest action in Australian history: The Walmadany / James Price Point conflict. Carsten Wergin offers a detailed account of how local community members, Indigenous custodians, heritage preservationists, environmentalists, and tourists collaboratively joined forces to successfully oppose the construction of a $45 billion (AUD) liquefied natural gas facility on sacred Indigenous land. Tourism, Indigeneity and the Importance of Place is a close reading of Aboriginal ‘country’ and its living heritage. It follows the Lurujarri Heritage Trail, an Indigenous Tourism experience that would have been destroyed by the LNG project, to offer a timely discussion of the sociocultural and political relevance of heritage and tourism for ecological preservation and the wider decolonial project in Australia and beyond.

Hockey enforcers spend their lives fighting on ice to protect their teammates and entertain their fans, but when their playing days are over, who’s left to fight for them?
