Download or read book Facing the Flag written by Jules Verne and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Facing the Flag’ is one of the stories that cemented Verne’s reputation as one of the pioneers of science-fiction. It centres around a brilliant scientist, Thomas Roch, who has invented the ultimate weapon, known as ‘The Fulgurator.’ However, when his creation is refused by every government on Earth, Roch’s sanity begins to crumble. Interning him to a mental health facility ought to be the end of the tale. However, Verne throws in some twists and turns, a liberal sprinkling of pirates, and an underground lair that wouldn’t look out of place in a James Bond film. A prescient book, many of Verne’s predictions, in terms of technology and moral scruples, have come to pass. Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist who became known as the ‘Father of Science Fiction.’ He wrote more than 60 novels, including ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ (1864), ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’ (1870) which was also released as a film, starring James Mason, and ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’ (1873), which has been released as a TV drama, featuring former Dr Who star, David Tennant.

Book Synopsis Our Flag Was Still There by : Jessie Hartland
Download or read book Our Flag Was Still There written by Jessie Hartland and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Bank Street Best Book of the Year “So much to like about this, including the folk art–style artwork with childlike appeal, the emphasis on the women who constructed the flag, and the important ways a symbol can influence a country for generations.” —Booklist (starred review) From beloved author-illustrator Jessie Hartland comes a whimsical nonfiction picture book that tells the story of the American flag that inspired the poem and our national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” If you go to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, you can see a massive American flag: thirty feet tall and forty-two feet long. That’s huge! But how did it get there? And where did it come from? Well… The story of this giant flag begins in 1812 and stars a major on the eve of battle, a seamstress and her mighty helpers, and a poet named Francis Scott Key. This isn’t just the story of one flag. It’s the story of “The Star Spangled-Banner,” a poem that became our national anthem, too. Dynamically told and stunningly illustrated, Jessie Hartland brings this fascinating and true story to life.
Book Synopsis The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon by : Bill McKibben
Download or read book The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon written by Bill McKibben and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the New Yorker's Best Books of 2022 Bill McKibben—award-winning author, activist, educator—is fiercely curious. “I’m curious about what went so suddenly sour with American patriotism, American faith, and American prosperity.” Like so many of us, McKibben grew up believing—knowing—that the United States was the greatest country on earth. As a teenager, he cheerfully led American Revolution tours in Lexington, Massachusetts. He sang “Kumbaya” at church. And with the remarkable rise of suburbia, he assumed that all Americans would share in the wealth. But fifty years later, he finds himself in an increasingly doubtful nation strained by bleak racial and economic inequality, on a planet whose future is in peril. And he is curious: What the hell happened? In this revelatory cri de coeur, McKibben digs deep into our history (and his own well-meaning but not all-seeing past) and into the latest scholarship on race and inequality in America, on the rise of the religious right, and on our environmental crisis to explain how we got to this point. He finds that he is not without hope. And he wonders if any of that trinity of his youth—The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon—could, or should, be reclaimed in the fight for a fairer future.
Download or read book Facing the Flag written by Jules Verne and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book hinges upon the extraordinary adventures of a mad French inventor who has imagined a diabolical engine of war that in its explosive effects surpasses anything in this direction ever conceived by mortal man. The story is of a most exciting character throughout. It has an added and highly piquant interest from the fact that Turpin, the celebrated and excitable inventor, declared at the time of the first publication, that he has been libelled in the person of the mad hero of "Facing the Flag," and was bringing an action against Jules Verne. Turpin was the chemist who claimed that he discovered melinite (the explosive later used for shells in the French army and navy). The claim was denied by the military authorities. Turpin in his resentment published the formula of the explosive in a book, together with an account of his alleged wrongs, and drawings of certain mechanical inventions that the government desired to keep secret. For this he was thrown into prison, but owing to the persistent agitation kept up by the French press of all parties was released after several months' incarceration.
