The True Spirit and Original Intent of Treaty 7 is based on the testimony of over 80 elders from the five First Nations involved in Treaty 7 - the Bloods, Peigans, Siksika, Stoney, and Tsuu T’ina. Their recollections highlight the grave misconceptions and misrepresentations between the two sides, due in part to inadequate interpretation and/or deliberate attempts to mislead. The elders consistently report that the treaty as they understood it was a peace treaty, not a surrender of land, and that they had agreed to "share" the land with the white newcomers in exchange for resources to est

The Mikoyan Mig-29 "Fulcrum" is a high performance aircraft that operates in 25 of the world’s airforces. In the 1990s former East German Migs joined the Luftwaffe as part of the reunification of Germany. Brought up to NATO standards, the aircraft flew for nearly a decade under the German flag before being sold to Poland. This pilot’s flight operating manual was created to train NATO pilots to fly this awesome aircraft. Written in English and edited to military standards, it reveals the full extent of this remarkable aircraft’s capabilities. Although it has been slightly refo

This volume reflects the current state of scientific knowledge about natural climate variability on decade-to-century time scales. It covers a wide range of relevant subjects, including the characteristics of the atmosphere and ocean environments as well as the methods used to describe and analyze them, such as proxy data and numerical models. They clearly demonstrate the range, persistence, and magnitude of climate variability as represented by many different indicators. Not only do natural climate variations have important socioeconomic effects, but they must be better understood before poss
