Jean Ziegler: Das Leben eines Rebellen
["Jürg Wegelin"]
4.4

2
Jean Ziegler ist der streitbarste und - nach Roger Federer - international wohl bekannteste Vertreter der Schweiz. Für die einen ist er ein einsamer Kämpfer gegen Armut und Hunger in Afrika und anderswo auf der Welt, für die anderen schlicht ein Nestbeschmutzer. Der linksradikale Professor der Soziologie, Bestsellerautor und Uno-Diplomat Ziegler kennt in seinen Anklagen gegen die Mächtigen der Welt keine Mäßigung. Sein Leben ist voller Widersprüche, über die er bisher immer hinweggegangen ist und die in dieser ersten und autorisierten Biographie erstmals näher beleuchtet werden. Das flüssig erzählte, kritische Porträt zeigt einen Mann, der auch im Alter von 76 Jahren noch nicht resigniert hat.

Everybody's Jane: Austen in the Popular Imagination
["Juliette Wells"]
3.86
43
11
The plethora of Jane-Austen-related fiction and nonfiction--sequels, mysteries, dating guides, invented biographies, and more--that has appeared within the last decade attests to her readers' enthusiasm for re-envisioning her characters as well as herself. Everybody's Jane is the first study to investigate fully these popular appropriations of Austen in England and America, taking into account recent scholarly work on fan cultures and fan fiction. Like these Austen-inspired works themselves, this book stands at the crossroads between studies of popular culture and literary studies; it also offers a major contribution to the ongoing public discussion about the significance and relevance of Jane Austen today.

Adoption by Lesbians and Gay Men: A New Dimension in Family Diversity
["David M. Brodzinsky"]
3.17

1
The practice of adoption has changed dramatically over the past half century, with profound implications for children and families. Perhaps the most remarkable and controversial transformation during this time has been the growing willingness of adoption professionals to place children with sexual-minority individuals and couples. Yet, despite considerable research showing that lesbians and gay men can make good parents, they continue to experience difficulties and barriers in many parts of the country in their efforts to adopt and raise children. Indeed, while progress in this area has been significant, it has been impeded by the homophobia and heterosexist attitudes of adoption professionals and the judiciary; by numerous stereotypes and misconceptions about parenting by lesbians and gay men, and by a lack of adequate guidelines and training for establishing best practice standards in working with this rapidly growing group of adoptive parents. Adoption by Lesbians and Gay Men explores the gamut of historical, legal, sociological, psychological, social casework, and personal issues related to adoption by sexual-minority individuals and couples. Leading experts in a variety of fields address--and often shatter--the controversies, myths, and misconceptions hindering efforts by these individuals to adopt and raise children. What makes this book all the more valuable is that it provides insights and specific recommendations for establishing empirically validated best practices for working with an important sector of our society, for treating all prospective and current parents fairly and equally, and, perhaps most importantly, for increasing a still largely untapped resource for providing families for children who need them.

Frontier Contact Between Choson Korea and Tokugawa Japan
["James B. Lewis"]

East Asia from 1400 to 1850 was a vibrant web of connections, and the southern coast of the Korean peninsula participated in a maritime world that stretched to Southeast Asia and beyond. Within this world were Japanese pirates, traders, and fishermen. They brought things to the Korean peninsula and they took things away. The economic and demographic structures of Kyongsang Province had deep and wide connections with these Japanese traders. Social and political clashes revolving around the Japan House in Pusan reveal Korean mentalities towards the Japanese connection. This study seeks to define 'Korea' by examining its frontier with Japan. The guiding problems are the relations between structures and agents and the self-definitions reached by pre-modern Koreans in their interaction with the Japanese. Case studies range from demography to taxation to trade to politics to prostitution. The study draws on a wide base of primary sources for Korea and Japan and introduces the problems that animate modern scholarship in both countries. It offers a model approach for Korea's northern frontier with China and shows that the peninsula was and is a complex brocade of differing regions. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with pre-1900 East Asia, Korea in particular, and especially Korea's relations with the outside world. Anyone interested in early-modern Japan and its external relations will also find it essential reading.

Alec's music is as dark as his vampire kiss is deadly, but Nicole will risk everything, including her life, to love him.  Nicole Ashe is an average American girl, except that she happens to work for a vampire and doesn't know it. All that changes when her boss sends her to convince a local rock musician - heartthrob to help them retrieve an ancient relic that could be the answer to the vampire's curse. Nicole soon discovers that Alec is a vampire and completely irresistible. There is something about Nicole that stirs Alec's hunger nearly beyond control but he would do anything to protect her, even from himself. Nicole is destined for a world of darkness that she cannot even begin to imagine and a love that can transcend eternity.Books in the Immortal Destiny Series Book 1 - Born to Darkness Book 2 - Night Breed Book 3 - Wolves and Black Roses Book 4 - Tears of the Vampire Born to Darkness Excerpt Chapter One Through the haze of smoke, Nicole looked at the man that she had been sent to find. Beneath the red and blue lights of the stage, he appeared ethereal, almost dreamlike. His fingers played across the strings of the guitar so fast that her eyes could not detect movement. The music vibrated through the room. To listen to it was to be pulled into a world of enchantment where reality blended with fantasy. Nicole felt her heart beating faster as the notes he played filled the small nightclub. Until that moment he had been looking down as he played, but abruptly he lifted his head to peer out at the crowd. His gaze came to rest on Nicole. His icy-blue eyes locked with hers. As he stared at her, he seemed to look right into her soul. His dark hair fell in waves around his shoulders - glistening beneath the glare of the lights. His black clothing hugged his muscular frame, leaving little to the imagination. Not that Nicole would let her imagination get away with her. After all, she was here on business. Even as his gaze drew her in and she felt the first prickles of pain behind her eyes, she had to keep reminding herself what Ethan had told her. Don't look into his eyes! Those were his exact words, and precisely what she'd made the mistake of doing. He stepped up to the microphone, and his deep - smooth voice vibrated in her ears. He sang of passions, darkness and unfulfilled hunger. Her mouth went dry and she began to shake. She lifted her drink to her lips. Nicole now knew why the infamous Alec Norwood could make women lose their minds. She hadn't believed it for a moment. Sure she'd heard of him. Who hadn't? He was quickly turning the local rock scene on its head. His dark music was like nectar to the troubled soul, and his looks were enough to send a woman's common sense right out the window. But you're not another one of his groupies. You're here for a reason! Nicole wouldn't let herself be put under Alec Norwood's spell. She struggled to focus on the task at hand. The rest of the members of Necro were just as dark as he was. The music was perfect, not one of them missing a note or a beat. When the song ended, they went into a slow - haunting melody. Nicole felt the music come over her like a soothing warm blanket. She suddenly felt tired, as if she'd been drugged. Getting up from the table, she made her way through the crowd toward the ladies room. Maybe if she could splash some cold water on her face she'd feel better.

The Goddess Rules
["Clare Naylor"]

Here’s the delightful new novel from Clare Naylor, whose sleeper hit Dog Handling was one of Cosmopolitan ’s Best Beach Reads for 2002. Fresh and fun, The Goddess Rules is an outrageous, wry, and razor-sharp portrait of a girl who thinks her life is just fine–until she meets a woman who swears by the belief that life is meant to be fabulous . When obsessed pet owners have pooches or kitties they want immortalized on canvas, Kate Disney is the artist of choice. From her shed (which doubles as a studio and apartment) in London’s Primrose Hill, Kate caters to the whims of the rich and famous while herself living a decidedly bohemian existence. The problem is, she has a tendency to cater to her on-again, way-off-again boyfriend as well. Jake is so erratic, that most of her friends don’t understand why she even bothers. But it’s hard to fall out of love with a man who writes her songs and calls her “Angel”–even if he disappears for weeks at a time. Luckily for Kate, Mirabelle Moncur isn’t buying any of that claptrap. Mirri was an actress, a legend in her time. Now, at age sixty, she’s given up on fame and men and lives in Africa, where she raises lion cubs. But her reclusive nature has done nothing to dull her beauty, mar her incredible figure, or dampen her outrageous joie de vivre. After sweeping into London to have Kate paint a portrait of her favorite cub, Mirri seizes hold of Kate’s life–from the baggy wardrobe to the hopeless taste in men. Under Mirri’s tutelage, Kate learns to dance on tables with abandon, drink like a dockworker, and flirt like a goddess. And when her old friend Louis reenters the picture, she begins to see things in a whole new light. But Mirri has secrets that hint at a less than divine future. Now it’s Kate’s turn to teach Mirri a thing or two about life, love, and being fabulous.

Manual de diseño editorial
["Jorge de Buen Unna"]

Este libro está construido sobre los cimientos del Manual de diseño editorial, cuya carrera se interrumpió después de dos exitosas ediciones. Durante los siete años que han transcurrido desde que publicara aquella obra, el autor se llenó de papeles, revistas y libros, escribió artículos, intercambió datos con especialistas, participó en congresos y seminarios… El resultado de todas esas idas y venidas de información se vierte en nuevos textos que se mezclan con rastros de los anteriores, y su fruto es el libro más completo y sólido en su tipo. Cualquiera puede diseñar malos productos los vemos cada día en todas partes. Pero diseñar buenos libros es un oficio complejo, porque exige el conocimiento de muchas disciplinas. Es necesario saber de la lengua —amarla, de hecho—, tanto en sus aspectos ortográficos como en los ortotipográficos; es comprender al autor y al lector, manejar los procesos de la comunicación; tener profundos conocimientos de la tipografía, de su historia, de la tipología y las técnicas con que se manejan las letras; también es saber de ilustraciones y de legibilidad… Este libro explora aspectos que nunca antes habían sido tocados en una misma obra. En sus investigaciones, el autor se lanza más allá del campo del diseño en visitas a la psicología, la oftalmología, la optometría, la paleografía y otras materias. Comienza con un análisis del texto como medio de comunicación; luego nos cuenta cómo fueron los comienzos de la imprenta, para entrar enseguida a analizar los diversos sistemas de medidas tipográficas. Sigue con una exposición sobre lo que se sabe y lo que se ignora del proceso de la lectura y la legibilidad. La tercera parte está dedicada a la tipologí el estudio de las letras como moldes de imprenta, sus formas y variaciones, sus transformaciones a lo largo de historia. Lo que sigue se dedica al papel, los formatos, la diagramación y las ilustraciones; también introduce una manera novedosa y útil de abordar los proyectos editoriales. La quinta parte cubre los principales aspectos de la ortografía y la ortotipografía, y cierra con una sección sobre barbarismos tipográficos. El penúltimo capítulo es un diccionario de signos tipográficos, y el último, una descripción de las partes de los libros. Toda la obra está salpicada de referencias históricas, ilustraciones, citas de autores fundamentales, anécdotas y comentarios, críticas y toques de humor. Es un libro hecho con pasión, cocinado lentamente.

Local Government Election Practices: A Handbook for Public Officials and Citizens

Traditional local election methods--district, at-large, and hybrid approaches--are changing. There is a movement toward election reform. The purpose of Local Government Elections is to sort through and make sense of the various, sometimes complex, election system options at the local level. The book provides an introduction to local election practices and a review of traditional election methods. Also addressed are the issues, potential solutions, future trends and implications regarding local government elections. In addition, two appendices detail the National Civic League's suggested election guidelines for both city and county governments. While most published works on election practices focus on the federal and state levels of government, Local Government Elections is one of the few that deals solely with the city and county units of government. Complete details are given for such practices as the ward system, at-large plurality system, combined system, limited voting, cumulative voting, proportional representation, and alternative voting, and their myriad variations.

Giving Away Simone is Jan Waldron's account of her compelling, turbulent, and maddeningly original relationship with the daughter she gave away. Jan's baby, Simone, was the fifth generation of women in her family to be abandoned by their mothers. Determined to fight this "undertow of conditioned exiting, an affliction of easy farewell," Jan reunited with her daughter, now renamed Rebecca, when Rebecca was eleven. They spent the next thirteen years trying to come to terms with each other and figure out what kind of roles they were to play in each others' lives. For birthmothers, there are no simple equations of loss and gain. Each adoption is its own unique universe of complexities and ambiguities. But often the most personal is also the most universal, and there are truths to be found in every story. This beautifully rendered, intensely personal memoir gives essential shading to choices usually reduced to black and white. Waldron does not dispense advice; she probes the emotional fallout, on both sides of adoption, an area in which sedated platitudes have presided for far too long. " From the Trade Paperback edition.

In the course of his Special Patrol duties Commander John Hanson resolves the unique and poignant mystery of "toma annerson.ExcerptThis is a story I never intended to tell. I would not even tell it now if it were not for the Zenians.Understand that I do not dislike the Zenians. One of the best officers I ever had was a Zenian. His name was Eitel, and he served under me on the old Tamon, my first command. But lately the Zenians have made rather too much of the exploits of Ame Baove.The history of the Universe gives him credit, and justly, for making the first successful exploration in space. Baove's log of that trip is a classic that every school-child knows.But I have a number of friends who are natives of Zenia, and they fret me with their boastings."Well, Hanson," they say, "your Special Patrol Service has done wonderful work, largely under the officership of Earth-men. But after all, you have to admit that it was a Zenian who first mastered space!"Perhaps it is just fractiousness of an old man, but countless repetitions of such statements, in one form or another, have irritated me to the point of action--and before going further, let me say, for the benefit of my Zenian friends, that if they care to dig deeply enough into the archives, somewhere they will find a brief report of these adventures recorded in the log of one of my old ships, the Ertak, now scrapped and forgotten. Except, perhaps, by some few like myself, who knew and loved her when she was one of the newest and finest ships of the Service.I commanded the Ertak during practically her entire active life. Those were the days when John Hanson was not an old man, writing of brave deeds, but a youngster of half a century, or thereabouts, and full of spirit. Sometimes, when memory brings back those old days, it seems hard for me to believe that John Hanson, Commander of the Ertak, and old John Hanson, retired, and a spinner of ancient yarns, are one and the same--but I must get on to my story, for youth is impatient, and from "old man" to "old fool" is a short leap for a youthful mind.

The Identity of our North American Indians has been a mystery since the early years of European exploration, with no theory more prevalent than the notion that the Indians were the ten lost tribes of Israel, supposing they had been found at last. While they are not among the ten tribes who were lost to history, they do have ties to Israel through that Joseph that was sold into Egypt. In "We Are Israel," not only will the covenant lands of Joseph be identified, that being America, but the lands his descendants came to settle can also now be identified in the territories around New York's Hill Cumorah. By following DNA evidence, language ties, and the archaeological record, we ca now also identify the remnant tribes of Lehi, as well as their migratory routes, and their participation in the vast Hopewell mound-building culture of eastern North America.

Do dogs really save people? Which breeds are the most heroic? The least? And why would a dog risk its life for a person? Find out in Canine Courage, a fascinating look at heroism in untrained dogs. Dogs like Bo, who dived underwater to pull his owner out from under a canoe, or Woodie who jumped off an 80 foot cliff to save her owner's fiancée from drowning. Canine Courage explores what motivates these dogs and answers other questions such as what do dogs understand of danger, how do dogs know what to do and how heroic behavior developed in dogs.

On a cruel summer day at Montrichard, Anne of France was betrayed by the king, her father. Though he had promised her long ago to the one man she truly desired - the handsome Louis, Duke of Orleans - it suddenly suited political interests that she be given to a Bourbon prince. On that summer day, as Anne trembled in Louis' strong arms, a vow was made between the thwarted lovers to match the scheming vengeance of king and kingdom...to defy with subtle courage all who dared oppose them...to be joined at last as husband and wife before the eyes of all France.

["Laura Red"]

This book details Laura Red’s EXCITING, EXTREMELY HARDCORE AND TRUE journal of the SEXUAL DOMINATION AND CONQUEST of her second husband, a bisexual male sex slave. These four short stories start of relatively mild, but as she trains her husband, the sex involved becomes MORE EXTREME AND MORE DEGRADING. Within this journal are details of lesbian sex, public sex, domination and submission, anal and virginal fisting, wedding dress orgy, pissing, gay sex, forced gay sex, bisexual sex, cross-dressing, bondage, lactating sex and much more…. The dominatrix’s hand moved to her husband’s dick. She began to wank him off as Robert thrust deep inside of her. She bent her head down and began to lick and suck at her husband’s small dick. He ejaculated instantly and she swallowed it, but she was not done with him yet. She continued to suck him and slowly he became to be aroused again. Robert was slowly dripping warm cum into her cunt, she continued to suck her husband off. Then the chair began to move more and her husband cried out in pleasure. He was about to cum again, and then the dominatrix stopped! Robert dismounted from her and together they untied her husband. The husband blinked at the light. She slowly milked him up and down a few times. Then she indicated for him to move onto the floor and her husband obeyed, he always obeyed when she gave him an order, the stupid prick. She positioned him on all fours, his arse in the air. Robert posited himself behind him. She said, “I want to watch you be fucked by a man, a real man. He’s a good fuck, he as just fucked me well”. Her husband shook his head slightly he was not gay. However, to the dominatrix that made it just more fun, just more humiliating, and just more degrading. Robert was his lesson for the night. She also knew that her husband was near to coming, and that he would do anything to be allowed to cum. “Let him fuck you”, she said, “and I will let you eat my pussy as he does”. Before he could answer, Robert began to press the thick head of his penis into her husband. It was tight. It had never been taken by a man before, it hurt. Roberts’s dick was so thick and long and ridged like a donkey, but Robert did not care. He only cared about his money. He had been paid to do a job and he would do it. He had been paid well. At first, the dominatrix’s husband resisted a little but then slowly he began to enjoy it! She smiled a wicked smile, her straight husband was having gay sex with her bisexual prostitute, and he was enjoying it. How he would hate himself tomorrow.

Every time surgeons operate, they're betting their skills are better than the brain tumor, the faulty heart valve, the fractured femur. Sometimes, they're wrong. At Chelsea General, surgeons answer for bad outcomes at the Morbidity and Mortality conference, known as M & M. This extraordinary peek behind the curtain into what is considered the most secretive meeting in all of medicine is the back drop for the entire book. Monday Mornings , by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, follows the lives of five surgeons at Chelsea General as they push the limits of their abilities and confront their personal and professional failings, often in front of their peers at M & M. It is on Monday mornings that reflection and introspection occurs, usually in private. It is Monday Mornings that provides a unique look at the real method in which surgeons learn - through their mistakes. It is Monday Mornings when, if you're lucky, you have a chance at redemption.

A raison d'etre of Calla Editions is to make long-forgotten masterworks available to contemporary bibliophiles, and this book fulfills that aim like few others can. The Ship That Sailed to Mars has a legendary reputation, and the original edition is much sought after by an ardent cult of collectors. Its author, William Timlin, was an obscure South African architect who, in a singular burst of creativity, brought forth a magical intertwining of science fiction and fantasy, a kind of Burroughs meets Tolkien. With 48 pages of calligraphic text — in Timlin's hand — and 48 color plates, it is a work of stunning design, illustration, calligraphy, and overall conception. The Calla Edition also features a new introduction by John Howe, one of the two chief conceptual designers for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. The reappearance of this much-discussed title will be applauded by many fans of science fiction, fantasy, and book illustration.

The story is free...please take a few moments to write a review. Thank you to those who have done so - very much appreciated.'I did not mind them all, the twilight girls, and the soldiers of sexual fortune. In fact, I greatly enjoyed the buzz of their unfettered lifestyle, which was so different from the restrained, prettified atmosphere of my world. It was my weekend escape, the bump slowing the journey to premature aging, and a warm refuge from a boring conventional wife who loved my diplomatic wallet but hated the country that stuffed it. Our two teenage children in England were her excuse for staying away for months at a time, even though they were in expensive boarding schools. It left me at liberty to enjoy the freedoms of local friendships.Of course, I had to be careful. An accidental meeting with any of the paper-shuffling United Nations, expatriate businessmen or fellow diplomatic types, would severely dent my image. And Kenya is an AIDs hotspot. So I sat myself down and carefully planned how to avoid the penalties for my immoral fun. I cultivated places, tested various looks and practiced lines to use in case I got caught. And I bought reinforced Dutch condoms. In the end, the simplest strategy proved the most successful. The fact is that white people working on contract in black countries do not go to black places, and they certainly do not go anywhere low class. They write their proposals for poverty eradication and recommendations for development projects from the comfort of leafy, high-class neighbourhoods. Only the odd one, perhaps, consults with a high-class black person...'

Η πολιτεία των γιασεμιών

Δεν το επέλεξα. Συνέβη. Έφτασα στα τριάντα να αναζητώ ακόμα αυτόν ή αυτή που θα γεμίσει το υπαρξιακό κενό μου και θα με αποδεσμεύσει από την αφόρητη μοναξιά που σέρνω πίσω μου σαν πιστή, καλοθρεμμένη σκιά. Ποιος θα τραβήξει τη μάσκα της αθωότητας; Βαρέθηκα. Χόρτασα από φαντασιώσεις και προδομένα όνειρα. Θέλω να ζήσω έντονα, χωρίς να σπαταλιέμαι να σβήσω τη δίψα που καίει τη σάρκα μου, να μεθύσω με έρωτα. Απόγνωση. Απομόνωση. Αδιέξοδο. Το σώμα μου εξομολογείται… Παρατηρώ το λεπτεπίλεπτο δαχτυλίδι που φορά στο αριστερό του χέρι, καθώς το κινεί ρυθμικά, σαν αργό εκκρεμές. Ξαφνικά, οι μνήμες ζαλίζουν το παρόν. Φωνές και ρόλοι θεριεύουν μέσα μου. Μια γυναικεία φιγούρα απλώνει το χέρι της και με ταξιδεύει στην Πολιτεία των Γιασεμιών… Πόσους εαυτούς μπορεί να κρύβει ένας άνθρωπος μέσα του; Μπορούν, άραγε, οι παλιές ψυχές να ξανανιώσουν τον έρωτα μέσα από καινούρια κορμιά;

Es läuft gut in Hanna Hemlokks Leben. Die Autorin von abgeschlossenen Liebesromanen ist nicht nur frisch verliebt, nein, auch in ihrem eigentlichen Traumjob als private eye tut sich etwas: der erste Auftrag, um den sie nicht vorher betteln musste – auch wenn es nur um das geklaute Brennholz von Bauer Plattmann geht.Viel ernster sind die Probleme von Greta, einer Arbeitskollegin von Hannas neuem Freund. Zuerst hat Greta ihr Kind durch einen schrecklichen Unfall verloren. Und nun versucht ein unheimlicher Anrufer, sie mit Psychoterror in den Wahnsinn zu treiben. Wenn sie &quo;es“ nicht endlich zugibt, hat sie nicht mehr lange zu leben. Nur, was soll sie zugeben? Sie hält sich doch ohnehin für schuldig.Kein Wunder, dass Hanna das Brennholz erstmal Brennholz sein lässt und sich stattdessen mit Verve in die Suche nach dem anonymen Anrufer stürzt. Merkwürdige Typen gibt es ja einige in Gretas Umfeld, aber wer ist der Psychopath? Mit der beschaulichen Idylle am Passader See ist es gründlich vorbei. Denn man tau.

Literature in Post-Communist Russia and Eastern Europe
["Rajendra Anand Chitnis"]

null
This book considers Russian, Czech and Slovak fiction in the late communist and early post-communist periods. It focuses on the most innovative trend to emerge in this period, on those writers who, during and after the collapse of communism, characterised themselves as 'liberators' of literature. It shows how these writers in their fiction and critical work reacted against the politicisation of literature by Marxist-Leninist and dissident ideologues, rejecting the conventional perception of literature as moral teacher, and redefining the nature and purpose of writing. The book demonstrates how this quest, enacted in the works of these writers, served for many critics and readers as a metaphor for the wider disorientation and crisis precipitated by the collapse of communism.

Mortgage Freedom: Retire House Rich and Cash Rich

Mortgage Freedom will save the average Canadian homeowner tens of thousands of dollars and help shave years off of their mortgage. In this book Alexander Aitken offers readers a comprehensive method to structure their debt in a way that will provide tax deductions and tax refunds for most Canadians. The book explains • the type of mortgage required, • ways to accelerate the plan, • the investments used, • how to use tax refunds, • recent tax rulings, • and much more. In the simplest terms, Canadian homeowners make regular mortgage payments, which create home equity. That equity can be borrowed back from a line of credit and used for investment purposes. Interest on an investment line of credit is tax-deductible and the tax refunds, along with the net income from these investments, can be used to pay off a mortgage much faster.

Nuke: Memories of a Nuclear Weapons Technician
["John Reese"]

In the 1950s the world is shivering from the Cold War. Not just from the increasingly frigid relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, but from the threat of nuclear destruction. The bomb is on the mind of every citizen. Air raid drills and bomb shelters are in vogue as the two nations build arsenals of nuclear and thermonuclear weapons that could destroy all life on earth. John Reese, a seemingly happy, well-adjusted nineteen-year-old, suddenly drops out of his first year of college and enlists in the Air Force. Trained in the maintenance of nuclear weapons systems, he embarks on an adventure that will take him to the heights and depths of romance and to dangers that no one could imagine. From the Deep South to the mountains of Germany, Reese must face the realities of a broken heart and a possible nuclear war.

Using the tried and tested formula HMS Victory, now available in the Haynes manual format, is probably the most famous surviving historic warship in the world today. She was flagship to Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, when he was killed on her quarter deck by a sniper’s bullet in Britain’s hour of victory. Maritime historian and former HMS Victory Keeper and Curator Peter Goodwin tells the story of Nelson’s flagship, giving fascinating insights into how she was built, her anatomy and weaponry, and how a ship of the line in the Georgian navy was sailed, fought and maintained.

This work embraces as complete a collection of early New York marriage licenses as could be put together from official sources. With its various supplements, it comprises records of about one-fourth of all marriages that took place in New York prior to 1784, when the practice of issuing marriage licenses fell into disuse. In brief, it contains approximately 25,000 entries arranged alphabetically under the names of both brides and grooms, each giving the date of the license and a reference to the precise location of the original record.

A book about sharing for one and all! Gruntly is a hog—a ball hog, a snack hog, a treasure hog! He doesn’t share his toys with his pals and, in fact, helps himself to theirs! And when Gruntly finds out about Saturday’s treasure hunt, he can’t wait for the first clue so that he may be the one to find the treasure and keep it . . . all for himself. From the delightful duo that created Tacky the Penguin and Hooway for Wodney Wat, Helen Lester and Lynn Munsinger deliver another playful and delightfully illustrated tale about the dangers of going hog-wild and show, in the end, that sharing just might have its own rewards!

'A Piece of String' is a satire on the UK Government's obsession with measurement and targets, particularly in social policy areas. Its central character, Paul Grant, is a young civil servant who is sent out 'into the field' (inner south London) to test the parameters for answering the question 'Is Life Worth Living?' He finds that life out there is more chaotic and subversive than he had anticipated, and he narrowly escapes kidnap and murder. He finally sues the author in the High Court under Health and Safety legislation. At 60,000 words 'A Piece of String' is short, pointed, funny and literary.

House Of Hits: The Great Untold Story Of Australia's First Family Of Music
["Jane Albert"]

The journey of a small family business that went from running an unassuming clock repair shop, to becoming the group responsible for bringing mega-stars AC/DC into the public spotlight   Few, if any, of AC/DC's fans would have any idea that the band's unmistakable brand of raucous, hardcore rock was delivered to the world via a small Australian family music publishing business, J. Albert & Son. In fact, the lives of most music buffs have been touched in some way by the Alberts, through sheet music, any number of their radio stations, or bands and artists like the Easybeats, John Paul Young, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, the Angels, Rose Tattoo, and, of course, AC/DC. So who is behind this business that has been quietly shaping and influencing musical landscape, culture, entertainment, and media for most of its existence? Here, Jane Albert—a journalist and fifth generation family member—has agreed to tell the family's story for the first time. She has had unprecedented access to company documents, family diaries, family members, letters, and of course the vibrant gallery of artists who have made Albert's the success it is today. It's a story of constant innovations, extreme loyalty, and the struggle—and triumph—of family businesses.

Circles and Lines: The Shape of Life in Early America
["John Putnam Demos"]
3.96
46
7
In this intimate, engaging book, John Demos offers an illuminating portrait of how colonial Americans, from the first settlers to the postrevolutionary generation, viewed their life experiences. He also offers an invaluable inside look into the craft of a master social historian as he unearths--in sometimes unexpected places--fragments of evidence that help us probe the interior lives of people from the faraway past. The earliest settlers lived in a traditional world of natural cycles that shaped their day and night; seasonal rhythms; the lunar cycle; the life cycle itself. Indeed, so basic were these elements that "almost no one felt a need to comment on them." Yet he finds cyclical patterns--in the seasonal foods they ate, in the spike in marriages following the autumn harvest. Witchcraft cases reveal the different emotional reactions to day versus night, as accidental mishaps in the light become fearful nighttime mysteries. During the transitional world of the American Revolution, people began to see their society in newer terms but seemed unable or unwilling to come to terms with that novelty. Americans became new, Demos points out, before they fully understood what it meant. Their cyclical frame of reference was coming unmoored, giving way to a linear world view in early nineteenth-century America that is neatly captured by Kentucky doctor Daniel Drake's description of the chronography of his life. In his meditation on these three worlds, Demos brilliantly demonstrates how large historical forces are reflected in individual lives. With the imaginative insights and personable touch that we have come to expect from this fine chronicler of the human condition, Circles and Lines is vintage John Demos.

Examining the placement of Indian women in South African society, this engaging history features profiles and photographic portraits as it imparts a rich cultural milieu beyond aromatic spices and glittering jewelry. Arguing that postapartheid freedom has allowed for a renaissance among women achievers in the Indian community, this book not only charts the areas where this development has occurred but also shares the hopes of the women too often ignored in public discourse. A story of resilience that transcended the system of indenture, this celebratory narrative pays tribute to the spirit of South African women of Indian descent.

The M1, M5, and M6 all pass through the region; together with the M40 and M42, they form the nucleus of the country’s motorway network, and without them the country could not function. The densely populated areas of Birmingham and the West Midlands as well as the beautiful rural countryside of Herefordshire and Shropshire all presented the engineers with a huge variety of challenges. This engaging study describes the planning, design, and construction of all sections of the motorways in the Midlands. It is infused with personal accounts from engineers on the ground and offers a first-hand look at their astounding work.

An Emerald Tale : Five Knights & The Evil Sorcerer's Wrath
["Christopher Corbell"]

"Once upon a time, there was a castle with huge arches and tall golden towers that reached high above the cobble stone walkways toward the open blue sky. In this peaceful land lived the king’s best man Neil with a legend to tell of more than five hundred years. Followed by the brave and pushed forward by the arms of future peace for all in his kingdom, he carried the mighty torch of peace for all. Far to the edge of the Green Sea was the west end of the Mystic Mountains. This was believed to be a different land. There lived the one who commands the shadows of darkness, evil sorcery, and the never-ending quest for chaos. Once loved by many yet misled by the temptations of power and greed, he felt deep into the jaws of evil and the forces of pain, corruption, and decay. This dark sorcerer was not just a villain but a powerful warden of the wicked and the face of death to the pure. Argon was his name, and he was now the emperor of his own sinister world! There is a storm brewing, accompanied by thunder and lighting, as I narrate this tale. This is a tale of good versus evil and their amazing battle to come. Enjoy!"

Africa: la storia ritrovata. Dalle prime forme politiche alle indipendenze nazionali
["Giampaolo Calchi Novati"]

L'immagine dell'Africa che ha prevalso a lungo è quella di un continente senza storia, o con una storia che è solo il riflesso di quella di altri. Un'idea che ha contagiato in qualche misura anche gli stessi africani. L'equivoco nasce da una sopravvalutazione delle vicende del rapporto fra Africa ed Europa che, dopo una partenza su basi di sostanziale parità, è evoluto nel senso di un crescente dislivello nel corso dell'età moderna, attraverso il trauma della tratta negriera, fino a dare luogo a una relazione completamente squilibrata. Questo volume vuole porre nella sua giusta prospettiva il capitolo dell'incontro/scontro con l'Europa, offrendo una lettura complessiva della storia dell'Africa.

The Sino Conflict heats up as the Jade Army continues its relentless advance across China. The Union is desperate, the Allies can barely hold their ground, and looming on the horizon is the specter of all-out nuclear war. Caught in the middle of this maelstrom are the men and women of Phoenix Squadron, a group of US Air Force fighter pilots who have sacrificed some of their humanity for the advantages of cybernetic enhancement. In this second installment of the Titanium Rain trilogy, the war gets bloodier, the stakes get higher, and secrets are revealed about the true nature of the Prometheus Initiative. Like the war itself, will Prometheus lead mankind ever closer to ultimate destruction? Or is it the dawning of a new age?

San Pedro was incorporated into the City of Los Angeles in 1909, and grew into one of the world's strategic international ports. The dredging and backfilling of berths and canals have been mirrored in town through the decades as landmarks were demolished, streets altered, and some structures steadfastly maintained.

["A.J. Francis"]

Introducing A Textbook for Students of Civil and Structural Engineering, Building and Architecture discusses the fundamentals of structural action of different structures. The book aims to detail how structures act as organisms to transmit and resist forces, along with principles governing the synthesis of structures. The text covers the structural materials, structural action, collapse, flow of stress, flexural instability, and prestressing. The selection also covers several structural parts such as trusses, beams, plates, shells, and cables. The last three chapters cover the conceptual aspect of structures, such as general remarks on structural action, structural design, and lessons for structural failures. The book will be most useful to students of disciplines that deal with the design, construction, maintenance, renovation, and rehabilitation of buildings.
