Book excerpt: “In short, this was a paradise on Earth for women, the epicure’s Elysium and the very centre of freedom and hospitality. But in the short space of three years, it has become the theatre of War, the Country of distraction, and the seat of slavery, confusion, and lawless oppression. May the Almighty of his infinite goodness and mercy, reunite and reestablish them on their former happy and flourishing situation.” Nicholas Cresswell, July 19, 1777 “This man Herd at 72 is strong and robust, he has been in the [postal riding] service 46 years; he pretends that he makes nothing by it, and says “he will give it up--that at present he only rides for his health's sake, which induces him to keep it. It is well known that he had made an estate by his riding, and it is said, in the following way...” Hugh Finlay, November 11, 1773 Narrow escapes from prison. Adventures with Indian wives and wanderings through Moose country. Postal riders, sometimes negligent. All of these and more surface in this delightful, and sometimes astonishing, combination of journals from the Revolutionary period. With Hugh Finlay, we walk from Quebec City to Charleston, South Carolina. In the company of Nicholas Cresswell, we journey from Chesapeake Bay to Indian country in what is now Ohio and Kentucky. These two British subjects don't approve of the American Revolutionaries, not by a long shot. Cresswell invents a code by which to describe the people he meets: Slebers or Sgnik Sdneirf (spell them backwards to get the truth!). All together, it's a riveting ride through the years 1773 to 1777.

Download or read book From Pillar to Post written by D.F. Les Pierre-Luke and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-07-10 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘From Pillar To Post’ takes a look at the restlessness of humans in vulnerable situations, especially in intimate relationships that become very traumatic. ‘From Pillar To Post’ takes the reader through the lives of two very close friends, Donna and David, their individual relationships with their current married, lifelong partners, their continuous affection for each other and eventually their lasting bond between them. Sometimes we ́move on ́ or ‘change’ what we think is the best way for our lives and end up worst off than before. We mentally and in some instances, actually create a plan with specific activities that are supposed to fix the many so-called problems we encounter. We never stop to breathe, feel the presence of the Divine or even think things through before acting on our impulses, letting go of the emotions that are so often present with the given situation. Outside influences tested Donna and David’s affection for each other, which unfolded a series of events that devastated them, only to realize that they needed to breathe, think and feel the presence of the ‘Divine’ working within them to achieve their goal. Something they totally neglected. We tend to always look for better when sometimes best is what we already have. Who ́s to say that we already have the best? Everything we don ́t have always seems greener on the other side. But is it really? The most tragic of all is when we are in a relationship and the pressure is on. We ask ourselves many questions and answer them ourselves especially when we are hot-tempered. Actually, these are the times we ought not to, but we do anyway. Relationships are fragile connections of emotions, chemistry, passion, intellect, stimulation, eroticism, and attitude and to a large extent lust. Of course this is strictly from a secular perspective. When we explore our hearts truthfully we will find that there are lots more to it. Relationships though intangible have many tangible aspects that should be exercised for proper natural development. From a spiritual perspective, relationships are much more important and should be guarded closely as the key to understanding ourselves first, then our neighbor and most importantly the Divine. This fragile connection doesn ́t really exist since an understanding between two persons has been established and therefore will grow and develop into a stronger bond. ‘From Pillar To Post’ is basically about relationships and the events that unfold surrounding the individuals involved. It deals with abuse, rape, dishonesty, distrust, adultery and many more unpleasant incidents that are possible in failing relationships. It is the recollection of broken marriages and the repercussions of the people associated with Donna and David as it was revealed to me in eleven weeks and a day. The story unfolds during an eleven-week period. Donna wants to end a marriage of abuse, a marriage from a man who constantly raped her. He was of the opinion that husbands cannot rape their wives because they are supposed to be submissive. He says, in accordance with the Bible, they are supposed to honor their husbands. Donna was initially willing to have sex with her husband because she believes in “to keep him, do him!” but it all backfires when one day, soon after he had sex with her, he wanted to have her again. His adrenalin was on and she was all worn out. He, nevertheless, took her again in addition to buggering her leaving her not only physically disfigured but a psychologically scar as well. That day was enough to end the abuses that plagued her married life and she immediately decided to call her best and closest friend David to get her out it. She eventually divorced her husband David, willing to make the best of his marriage was shocked when he caught his beautiful and very powerful wife having sexual intercourse with another woman. His life came toppling down as he saw the deceit and unnecessary lies that were lai

Book excerpt: "A towering epic to rank with Douglas Preston's Blasphemy and Michael Crichton's Prey... Pandemic drought, skyrocketing oil prices, dwindling energy supplies and wars of water scarcity threaten the planet. Only four people can prevent global chaos. Gary Morgan--a brilliant, renegade scientist is pilloried by the scientific community for his belief in a space elevator: a pillar to the sky, which he believes will make space flight fast, simple and affordable. Eva Morgan--a brilliant and beautiful scientist of Ukrainian descent, she has had a lifelong obsession to build a pillar to the sky, a vertiginous tower which would mine the power of the sun and supply humanity with cheap, limitless energy forever. Gunther Rothenberg--the ancient but revered rocket-scientist who labored at Peenemunda with von Braun to create the first rockets and continued on to build those of today. A legend, he has mentored Gary and Natalia for two decades, nurturing and encouraging their transcendent vision. Franklin Smith--the eccentric Silicon Valley billionaire who will champion their cause, wage war with Congress and government bureaucracy and most important, finance their herculean undertaking. This journey to the stars will not be easy--a tumultuous struggle filled with violence and heroism, love and death, spellbinding beauty and heartbreaking betrayal. The stakes could not be higher. Humanity's salvation will hang in the balance"--

Book Synopsis Making the Modern World by : Vaclav Smil
Download or read book Making the Modern World written by Vaclav Smil and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much further should the affluent world push its material consumption? Does relative dematerialization lead to absolute decline in demand for materials? These and many other questions are discussed and answered in Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization. Over the course of time, the modern world has become dependent on unprecedented flows of materials. Now even the most efficient production processes and the highest practical rates of recycling may not be enough to result in dematerialization rates that would be high enough to negate the rising demand for materials generated by continuing population growth and rising standards of living. This book explores the costs of this dependence and the potential for substantial dematerialization of modern economies. Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization considers the principal materials used throughout history, from wood and stone, through to metals, alloys, plastics and silicon, describing their extraction and production as well as their dominant applications. The evolving productivities of material extraction, processing, synthesis, finishing and distribution, and the energy costs and environmental impact of rising material consumption are examined in detail. The book concludes with an outlook for the future, discussing the prospects for dematerialization and potential constrains on materials. This interdisciplinary text provides useful perspectives for readers with backgrounds including resource economics, environmental studies, energy analysis, mineral geology, industrial organization, manufacturing and material science.

Book Synopsis Intelligence and U.S. Foreign Policy by : Paul R. Pillar
Download or read book Intelligence and U.S. Foreign Policy written by Paul R. Pillar and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A career of nearly three decades with the CIA and the National Intelligence Council showed Paul R. Pillar that intelligence reforms, especially measures enacted since 9/11, can be deeply misguided. They often miss the sources that underwrite failed policy and misperceive our ability to read outside influences. They also misconceive the intelligence-policy relationship and promote changes that weaken intelligence-gathering operations. In this book, Pillar confronts the intelligence myths Americans have come to rely on to explain national tragedies, including the belief that intelligence drives major national security decisions and can be fixed to avoid future failures. Pillar believes these assumptions waste critical resources and create harmful policies, diverting attention away from smarter reform, and they keep Americans from recognizing the limits of obtainable knowledge. Pillar revisits U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War and highlights the small role intelligence played in those decisions, and he demonstrates the negligible effect that America's most notorious intelligence failures had on U.S. policy and interests. He then reviews in detail the events of 9/11 and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, condemning the 9/11 commission and the George W. Bush administration for their portrayals of the role of intelligence. Pillar offers an original approach to better informing U.S. policy, which involves insulating intelligence management from politicization and reducing the politically appointed layer in the executive branch to combat slanted perceptions of foreign threats. Pillar concludes with principles for adapting foreign policy to inevitable uncertainties.
