A rare but clear motif can be traced in Jewish apocalyptic: the mountain or the mountains as opponents to be conquered. Such a motif can already be observed in the ancient oriental sources, according to which it was associated with deities and kings. The motif mentioned is used in three works - 1Hen (picture speeches), 2Bar and 4Esra - in the context of the description of a messianic figure with the intention of presenting it as extraordinary. All three contexts are politically connoted. In 2Bar and 1Hen the mountains represent a political power (in 2Bar together with the forest) or their economic-military basis. The forerunner of this motif can be found in the oracle saying property 4.7, which is also politically connoted. The later apocalypses enriched the initially simple motif with elements of a theophany description or elements of the divine warrior motif.

On 12 April 1782, the British Fleet under Admiral Lord George Rodney defeated the French at Les Iles des Saintes, in the Caribbean. Rodney employed a novel tactic of breaking through the enemy line. While this was the culmination of a distinguished but turbulent career, controversially Rodney was heavily criticised for not pursuing the vanquished foe, yet they never again posed a threat to British interests in the West Indies. This book examines the life and career of one of the Royal Navy's most formidable figures, who, while brilliant, made enemies all too easily.

For centuries inventors have been dreaming up schemes to allow people to submerge beneath the waves, stay a while then return again unharmed. The Resurgam was designed for this purpose, as a stealthy underwater weapon which was the brainchild of an eccentric inventor realised in iron, timber, coal and steam. The inventor was George William Garrett, a curate from Manchester who designed and built the Resurgam submarine in 1879 using the limited technology available to a Victorian engineer on a small budget. This is not the story of Garrett himself as this story has already been told, instead this book tells the story how the Resurgam was built, how she may have worked and what happened to her. The book introduces Garrett the inventor then puts the creation of Resurgam in context by considering similar submarines being developed at the end of the 19th century. Garrett’s relationship with the Royal Navy is related here as they were his intended client and the tale continues with a description of how the submarine was built and how it may have worked. The end of the story relates how the Resurgam came to be lost in 1880 pieced together from documents and newspaper reports. Curiously, aspects of the tale do not fit with what was found by underwater archaeologists recording the wreck so other ideas are explored about how and why the submarine was lost.
