This volume contains three essays on the powers of reproduction; with some account of the judicial congress as practiced in France during the 17th century. The reproductive powers of nature were regarded by the nations of remote antiquity with an awe and reverence so great, as to form an object of worship, under a symbol, of all others the most significant - the phallus; and thus was founded a religion, of which the traces exist to this day, not in Asia only, but even in Europe itself. It is hoped the reader will find much curious and interesting physiological information, interspersed with recherch����� and festivous anecdotes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Aphrodisiacs and Anti-Aphrodisiacs: THREE ESSAYS ON THE POWERS OF REPRODUCTION; WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE JUDICIAL "CONGRESS" AS PRACTISED IN FRANCE DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY. THE reproductive powers of Nature were regarded by the nations of remote antiquity with an awe and reverence so great, as to form an object of worship, under a symbol, of all others the most significant, -the Phallus; and thus was founded a religion, of which the traces exist to this day, not in Asia only, but even in Europe itself. That scarcely any notices of this worship should appear in modern works, except in the erudite pages of a few antiquarians may be accounted for by considering the difference of opinion between the ancients and the moderns as to what constitutes-modesty; the former being unable to see any moral turpitude in actions they regarded was the designs of nature, while the latter, by their over-strained notions of delicacy, render themselves, viin some degree at least, obnoxious to the charge that, in proportion as manners becomes corrupt, language becomes more guarded, -modesty, when banished from the heart, taking refuge on the lips. To supply, to some extent, this lacuna in our popular literature has been the object of the present work, in which, it is hoped, may be found much curious and interesting physiological information, interspersed with recherché and festivous anecdotes. The text is illustrated by a few plates, drawn from antiquarian sources.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, the largest and most powerful armada of warships the world had ever seen left southern England bound for the beaches of Normandy. The thousands of American, British, Canadian, Polish, and Norwegian soldiers on board had one mission: invade France and liberate it from the occupation by Nazi Germany. Over the course of the next three months, that is precisely what they, and the Free French troops who would later join them, did. From the sands of beaches code-named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, through the nearly impenetrable hedgerows of the Norman countryside, and on into the French capital of Paris, the Allied armies drove forward to victory against fierce German opposition. Illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs, and accompanied by a chronology, bibliography, and further resources, D-Day and the Liberation of France, Updated Edition provides a clear and comprehensive account of this remarkable struggle to determine the fate of Western Europe during World War II. Historical spotlights and excerpts from primary source documents are also included.

Markku Alén fasste den Ford Escort für dieses Buch in fünf Worten zusammen: "It's a winner's car." Der Frontmotor-Hecktriebler triumphierte praktisch rund um den Globus - sei es bei der 25.000 Kilometer langen World Cup Rallye 1970, der East African Safari, im schwedischen Schnee oder auf den Highspeed-Pisten Finnlands. Bei seinem Heimspiel, der RAC Rallye, erwiesen sich die Mk1- und Mk2-Versionen acht Jahre lang als unbesiegbar.Doch es sind nicht nur die Erfolge von Werksfahrern wie Roger Clark, Timo Mäkinen, Hannu Mikkola, Ari Vatanen, Markku Alén oder Björn Waldegård, die den Escort so berühmt gemacht haben. Die Heckschleuder war zuverlässig, leicht zu beherrschen und fast noch leichter zu reparieren - und somit das bevorzugte Auto vieler Privatfahrer. Beweis gefällig: Bei der Scottish Rallye 1973 belegten Escorts die ersten zehn Plätze. Kurzum: Kaum ein anderes Auto hat den Rallyesport so sehr geprägt wie der Ford Escort. Dieses 264 Seiten starke Buch fasst die komplette Rallyegeschichte der Mk1 und Mk2 Escorts vom der ersten Konzept 1967 bis zum späten Weltmeistertitel 1981 zusammen. Autor John Davenport - bei der Rallyepremiere vor 50 Jahren der erste Beifahrer im Escort - hat mit zwei Dutzend Zeitzeugen gesprochen und die Geschichte dieses Autos so umfassend und lebendig zusammengefasst wie niemand zuvor. Er beschreibt den Werdegang in chronologischer Reihenfolge - aufgelockert durch spannende Kommentare und Anekdoten. Begleitet werden die Texte von mehr als 500 teils bekannten und teils noch nie gesehenen Fotos. Sie zeigen den Escort im legendären Workshop von Boreham, bei Testfahrten und vor allem in den vielfältigsten Lackierungen im Rallye-Einsatz.

After featuring the legendary eras of Group B and Group 4 rallying, McKlein Publishing has now dedicated a book to the early years of the sport. "Group 2 - The genesis of world rallying" is a comprehensive review of the 1950s and 1960s. Then rallying was a big adventure, capable of capturing the imagination and enthusiasm of a Europe that was rediscovering its romance with the motorcar. Rallies like the Monte Carlo, the Liège-Rome-Liège, the Acropolis, the RAC and the Rallye des Alpes were the jewels in the diadem of the sport. And new challenges arose like the East African Safari, the 1000 Lakes and the Tour de Corse.All these events tested the crews that entered them to the very limits of speed and endurance. If the cars were less sophisticated than those we are familiar with in the 21st century, the skills to drive them quickly were perhaps of a higher order. Certainly the stars of rallying from the period of this book are still well-known names sixty years later - for example, Erik Carlsson, Timo Mäkinen, Paddy Hopkirk, Eugen Böhringer, Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Pat Moss. The same applies to the legendary cars that changed the sport such as the Mercedes 220SEb, Mini Cooper, Porsche 911, Lancia Fulvia and Alpine-Renault A110."Group 2 - The genesis of world rallying" is the first complete review of the sport in the period 1946 to 1972. Over 256 pages, author John Davenport, who was part of that era as a co-driver and journalist, tells the story of the evolution of a sport from being largely something for amateurs to one that was fully professional. It was a time of growth, excitement and adventure and is covered here by comprehensive annual reviews, interesting features - such as a report on the great long distance rallies of that era - and results from all rounds of the European Championship and the International Championship for Makes. All this is accompanied by the greatest McKlein images from that era.
