The university must come to grips with the way the digital revolution has
changed the acquisition, storage and transmission of information. Can
the university adapt to these changes and still remain true to its essential
mission? This book provides a blueprint of how to do both.

term nationwide collapse of critical infrastructure. These threats include
EMP, extreme space weather, cyber attacks, coordinated physical attacks
or widespread pandemics.
High Impact Threats to Critical Infrastructure
Edited and Introduced by Charles L. Manto
In this iconoclastic book, Dror argues that humanity cascades through a
metamorphosis, driven mainly by science and technology. Radical human
enhancement, synthesis of viruses, quasi-intelligent robots and molecular
engineering illustrate the emerging quantum leap, as do value changes
ranging between mass- killing fanaticisms to human “maturation.”

Natural Gas as an Instrument of Russian State Power
by Ion A. Iftimie
"Since the Cold War, Russia has been perceived as a broken nation that no
longer represents a threat to the North Atlantic Alliance. This book em-
phasizes that Russia overcame this major vulnerability by developing the
capacity to use unilateral economic sanctions in the form of gas pricing and
gas disruptions against many European North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) member states.” -Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr., Director, Strategic Studies

cyber attacks, and anti-microbial drug resistance, to offer insight on how to
have successful NGO and global partnerships, crowdsourcing relief and other
ways to successfully mitigate issues.

New Frontiers in Criminology
by Alain Bauer
Inevitably interdisciplinary in nature, criminology has not always been wel-
come in the university. Despite the prominence of Pierre Paul Broca, Paul
Topinard, and Emile Durkheim in laying foundations that helped to inspire
the development of the theory of the discipline, France has been surprising-
ly slow in providing tertiary support.

Crime 3.0: The Rise of Global Crime in the XXIst Century
by Alain Bauer, Preface by Paul Rich
Alain Bauer argues that we need, with considerable immediacy, to press
the formal study of crime in the academy, and that more resources need to
be channeled towards that purpose. The approach in universities, if they do
deign to study the subject, is often relegated to adjuncts and regarded by the
more established departments with disdain.

usage of cards, tracing their movements through India, China, the Middle East,
and through Europe, with a heavy emphasis on cards in France and England.
Taylor included a great deal of illustrations, highlighting cards from the 1500-
1800s.
California Chinese Chatter
by Albert Dressler
California Chinese Chatter contains telegrams sent in 1874 between Chi-
nese citizens living in Downieville, California, and a court transcript of the
murder trial of Ah Jake. It offers a unique view of the difficulties that Chinese
immigrants had in the United States, particularly in the midst of so much
racism that eventually led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
Vigilante Days and Ways highlights the bloody history of the area by
focusing on the activity of criminals, and the equally bloody means of

Baghdad and Points East
by Robert J. Casey
Cited for bravery in World War I, Robert Casey then spent twenty-seven
years as a columnist for the Chicago Daily News. His search for stories
took him to Indochina and Cuba, the Pitcairn Islands and London during
the Blitz, the D-Day invasion, and the liberation of Paris.
Thomas Starr King left a brilliant career in Boston to go to San Francisco
in 1860, where his convincing oratory was credited with keeping California
firmly on the Union side in the Civil War. Along with his commitment to
emancipation and the Northern cause, he had a sharp wit and an enviable
prose style, which this volume illustrates well.

on the point of view the average American had about the Civil War, and the
types of popular troupes, jokes and humor for the period.
Benjamin Franklin and Canada
by Hon. William Renwick Ridde
While Benjamin Franklin is of paramount importance to American history, he
deserves a place in Canadian history as well. As deputy postmaster general
for the British colonies, he established the Canadian post office in Halifax,
started the mail service in Quebec and opposed Britain trading Canada for
Guadeloupe as a settlement of the French and Indian War of 1760.

During World War I when the Ottoman Empire was at war with the Allies
and most non-Muslims fled, Reverend McFarland remained in Mersine,
billeting a German officer and helping treat wounded Turkish soldiers.
During World War I, some of the most daring military excursions were
carried out in the Middle East by the Desert Mountain Corps during 1917
and 1918. Much of their activity was in what is now Syria.

Ironically, considering current Middle East problems, it was a Syrian named
Callinicus who allegedly was the first to use chemical warfare. Born in
AD 673, he combined naphtha, pitch, sulfur, saltpeter and other toxins to
produce Greek fire, a sort of Byzantine smoke bomb.
Callinicus: A Defense of Chemical Warfare
by J. B. S. Haldane
Victor Lefebure (1891-1947) was seconded to the Special Brigade of the
Royal Engineers that was developing chemical warfare to be use against
the Germans. After the war he became a successful businessman and the
inventor of a number of building materials. This book about chemical warfare
became basic to the subject’s history.

The Violin and Old Violin Makers

Eugene Smalley was one-time private secretary to President James Gar-

An Oration Delivered Before the Municipal Authorities of the

Thomas Starr King delivered this famous address while at the pinnacle of his
career as minister of the Hollis Street Church in Boston. It was no small ac-
complishment in a city which, at the time, nurtured a host of famous orators.
Such acts earned from Lincoln the remark that he was “the orator who saved

George Rogers Clark’s expedition was of immense importance to both the

espionage played a significant, but well hidden, role in shaping history, but
also of unique developments in architecture, weaponry and communica-

continues to be given today.
Royal Arch Masonry in Pennsylvania: William J. Paterson’s History
of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Pennsylvania
The reader with a curiosity about the secrets of Freemasonry is confronted
with a vast and eccentric literature. Finding books that have their feet on
the ground, so to speak, is not easy. This is one, solid and truthful, and
a good starting place for the curious who wonder about the world’s most
celebrated discrete society.
The Genius of Freemasonry:
William B. Clarke’s Leaves From Georgia Masonry
The antiquity of Freemasonry is much debated. As a philosophical and
ritualistic society, rather than a group of stonemasons, it certainly existed
in the seventeenth century. This curious volume is a contribution to the
lore of speculative Masonry.

Minute Books and Correspondence
by G. Reeves-Brown
The Himalyan Brotherhood was organized in 1838 in the Indian hill station

lodge attracted a veritable Who’s Who of the famous, including the explor-
er Sir Richard Burton and the author Rudyard Kipling.
Star Gleams: A Collection of Songs, Odes, and Ceremonials
by Carrie B. Jennings
The Eastern Star is really an American secret society closely tied to
Freemasonry. Women largely lead it, although some male Masons
serve as officers. This collection, made by Carrie Jennings, illustrates
how patriotism and fraternalism often combined in the nineteenth and
twentieth century United States, producing hybrid rituals of community.

Gen. Albert Pike and the Old Canoe Controversy
by Albert Pike, Introduction by Paul Rich
Albert Pike was a Harvard dropout, Confederate general, lawyer for Native
American causes, celebrated Masonic leader, and lifelong writer of po-
ems. Despite his insistence that he was not the author, the much-reprinted
poem “The Old Canoe” continues to be attributed to him and figures in this
volume of his verses.

Gems of Song for Eastern Star Chapters
by Lorraine J. Pitkin and Jennie E. Mathews
Although the Order of the Eastern Star was largely invented as a compan-
ion secret society to Freemasonry in the nineteenth century, both men who
are Masons and women with a family connection to Masons are members,
and chapters are found as far afield as Scotland and Australia.
History of the Knights of Pythias
by Jos D. Weeks
Largely a secret society, the Pythians sought to aid reconciliation after the
Civil War and gave rise to other movements, including the Dramatic Order
Knights of Khorassan, Princes of Syracuse, Knights of Omar, and Order of
Calanthe. Membership is less than it once was, but lodges exist in more
than twenty states and Canada.
Partly because of novelists and Hollywood, the Masonic Knights Templar
have enjoyed an enormous amount of recent attention, and are the subject
of extravagant claims about their antiquity. They certainly are a highly ritual-
istic and very curious organization, as this volume of their secrets illustrates.

The Story of the City Companies
by P. H. Ditchfield
As this volume shows, the guilds or livery companies of London started as
medieval associations of tradesmen: haberdashers, skinners, goldsmiths,
and ironmongers. They became charity foundations, trustees of schools
and hospitals, custodians of art treasures and historic buildings, and the
electorate for the leadership of the City of London.
The tension in Freemasonry over its legendary and real origins and with
its Enlightenment ethos in contrast with Christian views is apparent in this
work by an Irish Episcopalian priest.
Freemasonry in All Ages

Hymns to the Gods & Other Poems
Authored by Gen. Albert Pike
Albert Pike (1809-1891) began writing as a youth, and “Hymns to the
Gods” was his first published poem when he was only 23. He is primarily
remembered as perhaps the leading scholar of Freemasonry in the nine-
teenth century but quite apart from that his verses display his incredible
linguistic skills and knowledge of mythology.

William Atherton DuPuy was a well-known naturalist who wrote
anecdotally and personally about nature in Animal Friends And Foes,
Insect Friends And Foes, The Nation’s Forests, and Plant Friends And

William Atherton Dupuy managed to combine a career in public
service, playing a role in the Department of the Interior, with the writing
of a number of books distinguished by the care he gave to selecting
artists and orchestrating an unusually close connection between
the illustrations and text. His observations on bird life remain both
entertaining and insightful.

Captain Bayley's Heir: A Tale of the Gold Fields of California
by G. A. Henty
George Alfred Henty was a war correspondent and novelist. He became

the Empire. He authored more than 122 novels.
The Young Vigilantes: A Story of California Life in the 1850s
by Samuel Adams Drake
The California Gold Rush really was a bonanza. Between 1849 and 1855
more than $400 million dollars was gathered by the miners; once adjusted,
it is a sum today reaching into the trillions. It was a social phenomenon
marked by the carnivalesque. The Young Vigilantes offers a fictionalized
account of California life at the time.
Bugle Echoes offers a vast collection of poetry illustrating the lived experi-

find this prototypical Alger story both a good read and food for thought
in an era when the technology has indeed moved on but the challenges
have remained.

Horatio Alger created youthful heroes whose persistence and pluck
triumphed over enormous odds, often having to educate themselves
by a flickering candle and late at night. Mark Mason is one of the most
appealing of the Alger success stories, a classic of Americana.
In this celebrated Alger novel, the young hero is comfortably ensconced

The Wizard
by H. Rider Haggard
The Wizard is centered on a missionary named Owen, has to endure var-

Rider Haggard themes are much in evidence, particularly the confrontation
of the West with African traditional values.

This “Book of Games, Parlor Performances and Puzzles” is a reprint of an
original 1888 edition that promised the wealthy hours upon hours of diversion
from boredom with guessing games, pantomimes, word games, outlined

American stereotypes, it is a unique look into the temperament of the times.

There was a time when how to use finger bowls and
napkin rings was part of education. In dispensing with
archaic manners, we seem to have also dispensed with the
common sense sensitivity that, among other advantages,
made possible political discourse without viciousness.
Decorumhasbeenjettisoned,oftenwiththeexcusethatthe
times are different. The end result has been stress instead
of kindness, the evaporation of care and consideration,
and gross inefficiency in solving problems rather than any
alleged streamlined savings.
The quality of our political life has deteriorated and the
upshot has been a stalemate in dealing with contemporary
social problems. The Westphalia Press Civility Series offers
classic texts about behavior, which if taken to heart might

IntroducingTailleferLong
Westphalia Press has grown exponentially. A great deal of our success
comes from our dedicated team. One of the key components is Taillefer
Long who serves as the Art Director. We asked him to discuss his
background and artistic process in order to offer a behind the scenes
glimpse of Westphalia Press:
Over the years, I have worked as an editorial cartoonist, illustrator,
fine artist, writer, translator, and graphic designer with the goal of
acquiring as many tools as possible to effectively communicate ideas.
Raised by expats in Italy and France, I learned from an early age the
importance of expressing and translating the nuances of language in
different contexts. To me, images are like words, unspoken yet often
louder, that make up the visual language of design.
In my work, I try to integrate images and design as seamlessly as
possible within the contexts provided by authors, to enhance both the
visual experience and support the messages being conveyed.
Westphalia Press has allowed me to create designs for a growing
collection of fascinating books, journals, and talented authors—while
establishing a brand for a relatively new but thriving publishing house.
Design, like publishing, takes courage, dedication, and a collaborative
approach, which are core elements that I aspire to professionally, and
which are integral to the Westphalia Press experience.
