Download or read book The StarSight Project written by S. P. Perone and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A horrible terrorist strike…referred to as Operation Deadly Rainby the al-Qa’eda …is about to be launched against the United States during the holiday season, with perhaps hundreds of thousands of lives at stake. An artificial intelligence program is nearly completed that might predict in advance when, where, and how this attack might occur. When the CIA receives fragmentary warnings of the upcoming attack, the university researchers secretly developing this program…called “StarSight”…are abruptly plucked from their comfortable academic posts and thrust into the frontline of the war on terrorism. The stage is set for savage conflict: Professor Tony Shane, his beautiful research associate, Sarah, and a handful of university co-workers are condemned by their academic colleagues for conducting a secret project for the CIA. At the same time, they are exposed to deadly attempts by terrorist agents to sabotage their work. Unknown to the CIA and Senator Moorhouse, who is coordinating the StarSight project, the person responsible for Deadly Rain…and ruthlessly attempting to terminate StarSight … is himself a wealthy and respected American citizen and close friend of the Senator and his wife. With political intrigue permeating university and government circles alike, this adventure takes the reader from the comfort of the “halls of ivy” to the exotic settings of San Francisco, Zurich, Washington, and the Italian Riviera. Despite the personal trials of the researchers, politicians, and terrorists that unfold during this pre-holiday period, the purposeful efforts of the StarSight team to prevent the terrorist attack build to a heart-stopping climax.

Book Synopsis The Horror Comics by : William Schoell
Download or read book The Horror Comics written by William Schoell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Golden Age of the 1940s, through the Silver Age of the '60s, up until the early '80s--the end of the Bronze Age. Included are the earliest series, like American Comics Group's Adventures into the Unknown and Prize Comics' Frankenstein, and the controversial and gory comics of the '40s, such as EC's infamous and influential Tales from the Crypt. The resurgence of monster-horror titles during the '60s is explored, along with the return of horror anthologies like Dell Comics' Ghost Stories and Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House. The explosion of horror titles following the relaxation of the comics code in the '70s is fully documented with chapters on Marvel's prodigious output--The Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night and others--DC's anthologies--Witching Hour and Ghosts--and titles such as Swamp Thing, as well as the notable contributions of firms like Gold Key and Atlas. This book examines how horror comics exploited everyday terrors, and often reflected societal attitudes toward women and people who were different.
Book Synopsis Deadly Turbulence by : Steve Pollock
Download or read book Deadly Turbulence written by Steve Pollock and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-03-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jet airliner operations in the United States began in 1958, bringing, it was thought, a new era of fast, high, safe, smooth, sophisticated travel. But almost immediately, the new aircraft were involved in incidents and accidents that showed jets created new problems even as they solved old ones. This book discusses five disasters or near-disasters of the early Jet Age, experiences which shook the industry, regulators and public out of early complacency and helped build a more realistic foundation for safer air transportation. Special attention is paid to the 1966 destruction of Braniff International Airways Flight 250 in Nebraska. Nearly two years of inquiry helped advance the understanding of jet operations in severe weather and saw the first use of cockpit voice recorder technology in an aviation accident investigation. In addition, a University of Chicago professor, Dr. Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita, conducted a more intensive investigation of the weather system which downed Flight 250. Dr. Fujita's already extensive knowledge of thunderstorms and tornadoes led to his creation of the Fujita Scale of Tornado Intensity, the F-scale that we hear about so frequently during storm season.

Two weeks after the radio started broadcasting the warning, "It's in the rain. It's fatal and there's no cure," the drinkable water is running out.

Book excerpt: Can we communicate with those waiting for us into the light at the end of the tunnel? Marc, a recently divorced art restoration expert cannot believe his son when the kid tells him he is having phone conversations with his grandfather, who has been dead for years. 1140 AD: a young friar on a secret mission will risk his life to protect a mysterious box that he hides within the walls of the Benedictine Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, where it will remain hidden for centuries. When a mysterious stranger hires Marc to decode the symbols carved on a millenary clay tablet, he will soon be on the trail of one of mankind’s best-kept secrets, the potential existence of a portal to communicate directly with the Other Side. When the life of his little son is threatened by evil forces, Marc and his partner Sandra will set off on a dangerous quest that will take them to mythical settings like the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona or the High Pyrenees Natural Park. Their quest may bring them closer to finding the truth about the portal’s existence, but they will have to determine whether it is a direct line with Heaven, Hell, or someplace very different. Their quest around the country, exploring medieval ruins, unraveling dark family secrets, and fighting for their lives against otherworldly enemies which try to conquer the immense power that lays beyond the portal, a secret hidden for centuries.
Book Synopsis Debre Libanos 1937 by : Paolo Borruso
Download or read book Debre Libanos 1937 written by Paolo Borruso and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-25 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume calls attention to the worst massacre of Christians that has occurred on the African continent, a 1937 attack on the monastic village of Debre Libanos that has previously been hidden from public knowledge. Between 20 and 29 May 1937, about 2000 monks and pilgrims, considered "conniving" in the attack on the fascist Italian viceroy Rodolfo Graziani, were killed in Ethiopia. The attack on Debre Libanos, the most famous sanctuary of Ethiopian Christianity, far exceeded the logic of a strictly military operation. It represented the apex of wide-ranging repressive action, aimed at crushing the Ethiopian resistance and striking at the heart of the Christian tradition for its historical link with the imperial power of the Negus. Although known to scholars, the episode was totally removed from national historical memory. Now available in English, this book’s analysis of the events culminating in the massacre, including the cover-up afterward, is a necessary record for scholars of European colonialism, Christian history, and colonial Africa.
Book Synopsis Communicating during Humanitarian Medical Crises by : Marouf Hasian
Download or read book Communicating during Humanitarian Medical Crises written by Marouf Hasian and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Promise and Perils of " Silence" or " Temoignage" During Humanitarian Crises provides readers with a nuanced study of what happens when historical and 21st century medical humanitarian communities, armed with their idealistic rhetorics, choose whether to speak out or remain silent during various military or medical crises. The author uses a series of case studies from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century to illustrate the politicized nature of these decisions. Unlike some that focus on the prescriptive need to follow certain universal medical humanitarian principles during crises, this book highlights the precarious nature of what some scholars call “medical advocacy/witnessing” or what the French call “témoignage.” The author argues that regardless of whether we are talking about lack of action during colonial crises or the Holocaust, it is oftentimes the lack of political will that determines how like “neutrality” or “impartiality” are interpreted. The book also acquaints readers with some of the challenges that have been recently posed to the “new” humanitarian Doctors Without Borders personnel, who have witnessed the targeting of medical hospitals and clinics. What researchers call the weaponization of medical care affects many in need living in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, or Syria. The author concludes the book by underscoring the point that it is the presence or absence of political will, and not the inherent epistemic value of medical humanitarian principles, that dictates when this advocacy succeeds or fails.

Book Synopsis The Age of the Gas Mask by : Susan R. Grayzel
Download or read book The Age of the Gas Mask written by Susan R. Grayzel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War introduced the widespread use of lethal chemical weapons. In its aftermath, the British government, like that of many states, had to prepare civilians to confront such weapons in a future war. Over the course of the interwar period, it developed individual anti-gas protection as a cornerstone of civil defence. Susan R. Grayzel traces the fascinating history of one object – the civilian gas mask – through the years 1915–1945 and, in so doing, reveals the reach of modern, total war and the limits of the state trying to safeguard civilian life in an extensive empire. Drawing on records from Britain's Colonial, Foreign, War and Home Offices and other archives alongside newspapers, journals, personal accounts and cultural sources, she connects the histories of the First and Second World Wars, combatants and civilians, men and women, metropole and colony, illuminating how new technologies of warfare shaped culture, politics, and society.
Download or read book Man, Know Thyself written by Rick Duncan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Man, Know Thyself’ is perhaps one of the world’s oldest and most important sayings. This adage was originally coined by Imhotep the world’s first multi-genius and perhaps the greatest creative mortal individual who ever lived. Imhotep lived over five and a half thousand years ago from our present age. It must be said immediately that Imhotep was an African. He is among our first Notable Ancestors. Considering Imhotep’s instruction, it means that as individuals, as a family, collectively as a people, a community, a society or a nation, we should know ourselves; that is, who we are. This includes knowledge of who spawned us, where we have been and where we currently are. Knowing this, as our Notable Ancestor and Grandmaster Teacher (Baba) Dr John Henrik Clarke has said, will tell us who we are and where we must get to. Who we are is dependent on who we were. Who we were should determine who we should be. To emphasise the point, Marcus Garvey, another of our most important Notable Ancestors, frequently reiterated this advice when he reminded us that our first obligation is to know ourselves. He told us that we should make our knowledge about us so complete so as to make it impossible for others to take advantage of us. He told us that in order to know ourselves we must know who our Ancestors were and what they achieved. We would then realize who we are and what we are capable of achieving. This is the meaning of the African adage and Sankofa symbol of ‘looking back in order to go forward’. The importance of knowing our ancestors has been summed up in an old Native American saying that ‘It is the spirit of our ancestors that should guide our path’. There is a sense however that Africans have forgotten our ancestors. Because of this, there is no ‘spirit’ to guide us and so Africans are lost and confused. The roots of African spirituality and culture have been made redundant. Yet as Dr Clarke points out, the unbilicord that tied Africans to our spiritual and cultural roots have only been stretched. It has never been broken. It is for Africans to come to this realization and to rediscover the spirit of our ancestors. This volume lists some of our Notable Ancestors in the hope that knowledge about them and their achievements will aid some of us in understanding where we have been, who we presently are and consequently who we must become. Ultimately, it is hoped that we may use this knowledge to reconnect with the spirit of our Ancestors and let them be our guide. This volume is based on the ‘truth’ about Africans and therefore correcting what is ‘told’ about us. This ‘corrective knowledge’ of us is important because as Imhotep said; ‘Know the truth and the truth shall set you free’. This means being free to interpret our own story and to define who we are. This is crucial because although ‘history’ is a witness to the truths, ‘history’ has been ‘stolen’ by others who have hidden the truths about us. ‘History’ has never been true or kind to Africans and therefore it cannot tell us about us. Yet as Peter Tosh intimated, we cannot come to a consciousness of ourselves, of who we are, if we do not know the truths about us. ‘History’ has been described as the ‘Queen’ of the academic subjects. So important is History that it is said that ‘whoever controls history, controls the future’. In one sense education in general and history in particular is about teaching us who we are. History teaches who we are so as to help us to know where we belong in our community (or society). Africans cannot know where we belong in society however, because our story has been told by ‘others’ (those who ‘own history’). Africans are therefore unaware of who we are because what is ‘known’ about us is not the truth about us. The story of Africans, the oldest people on earth, like the history of the world, is taught by ‘others’. Yet these others came into the world thousands of years after Africans had already established great civ

Book Synopsis the Gospel of the Lion of Judah, a student's guide by : Roland van Reenen
Download or read book the Gospel of the Lion of Judah, a student's guide written by Roland van Reenen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-12-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We must become something we have never been and for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us. In this speech of Emperor Haile Selassie I, he is urging us to become something for which our education have ill-prepared us for. The Gospel of the Lion of Judah is a response to that call of Haile Selassie I to prepare the upcoming generations for the world he envisioned. This book contains those timeless extracts of the vision of Haile Selassie I. It does not claim to be complete, but it wants to serve as a guiding light for the new generations. It merely wants to sow some seeds of the high ideals and morality of His Majesty in the still fertile minds of the youths. Seeds which might be nurtured and taken care after by the questions and tasks at the end of each chapter. With these tasks the students are invited to look into the world around them, but more important, invited to look into themselves, into the depths of their souls, to find their own answers to the demands of a new race.
