Now an orphan and penniless, Alice arrives in New York where she must survive on the dangerous streets by her wits and courage. She is arrested for stealing food for her starving little friend Gracie.

Book excerpt: Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, comrades in arms in the Mexican-American War 1846–1848. President Polk, desiring to expand the United States to the Pacific Ocean, orders General Winfield Scott to invade Mexico at Veracruz and march inland and capture Mexico City. Mexico controlled much of what is now the southwestern part of the United States and California. Scott arrives at Veracruz with 100 ships crowded with 9,000 soldiers and the tools of war, cannon, muskets and cavalry mounts. Among the soldiers are Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant and Captain Robert E. Lee. Grant, 24 years old, is a hardened combat veteran from fighting with General Taylor in northern Mexico. Lee, 40 years old, is untested in battle. Both men desire grade and glory and it is during war that these can be won if a man acted bravely. General Scott lands his army upon the hostile Mexican shore. After a heavy bombardment of Veracruz, the Americans capture the city. Scott waits for the reinforcements that President Polk had promised. When they do not arrive and his men begin to die from yellow fever, Scott severs his link with the States and his supply base at Veracruz and marches his small army into the mountains. He must capture Mexico City lying in the center of the nation of seven million inhabitants. He will lead his men to victory or death. General Santa Anna is waiting with an army of 30,000 soldiers to annihilate the small force of invading Americans.

Book excerpt: Question: How many religions host offensive terrorist training camps? Do the Baptists? Fundamentalists? Catholics? Presbyterians? Russian Orthodox? Jewish? Buddhists? Hindus? Methodists? Lutherans? Christian Scientists? Atheists? Or anyone else except Islam? No, not one. Only the Muslims under the guise of Jihad conduct such camps. Why? Think about it. It is an integral part of the Islamic religion to destroy all others and to control the world. This is obvious, yet it is ignored internationally and especially by mainstream media -- ignored to the peril of all. There seems to be an effort to paint America and/or Israel as the evil empire, and all the while Muslims are killing millions all over the globe today! We must wake up. This book, although brief, explains the history and fundamentals of Islam with definitive descriptions of various confusing Islamic terms. It outlines the Muslim agenda, including their next primary goal of conquering America and Israel, and establishing Sharia law. This is not a fairy tale. The author clearly documents present-day terror, killings worldwide, and the grave threat to all Western nations. - Back cover.

Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 2099 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning work of scholarship, the Norton Critical Edition of The English Bible, King James Version, is the most accessible edition available. In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, these long-awaited volumes bring together succinct introductions to each biblical book, detailed explanatory annotations, and a wealth of contextual and critical materials. Archaic words are explained, textual problems are lucidly discussed, and stylistic features of the original texts are highlighted. Judicious and economical, the introductions and annotations to the Old Testament give readers without Hebrew an entry into complexities of biblical literature, reconstructing its original contexts, tracing its evolution, and pointing out productive strategies of reading. Incorporating the insights of modern biblical scholarship as well as centuries of precritical interpretation, they offer essential guidance to a labyrinthine world, while respecting the text’s integrity. The historical and critical appendix comprises three distinct collections. A section on ancient Near Eastern backgrounds presents the myths, hymns, prayers, and legal codes that informed the creation of the Hebrew Bible. A historical anthology of biblical interpretation gathers—for the first time in one volume—generous selections from the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, along with classics of secular commentary. It includes reflections on the Bible by philosophers from Hobbes to Ricoeur; a compendium of modern biblical scholarship, focusing on topics such as the oral and the written, the composition of the Pentateuch, and the historical movement from covenant to canon; and a provocative sampling of comparative and literary approaches. The crucial presence of the Old Testament within English literature is represented by paraphrases and parables in verse and prose, and a recapitulatory conclusion brings the diverse perspectives of this millennial survey to bear on two of the Bible’s most famous passages: the expulsion from the garden of Eden and the binding of Isaac. A final section devoted to the question of translation includes significant English versions from Wycliffe to the present. Time lines, chronologies, diagrams, and maps are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if we could imagine hierarchy not as a social ill, but as a source of social hope? Taking us into a "caste of thieves" in northern India, Nobody's People depicts hierarchy as a normative idiom through which people imagine better lives and pursue social ambitions. Failing to find a place inside hierarchic relations, the book's heroes are "nobody's people": perceived as worthless, disposable and so open to being murdered with no regret or remorse. Following their journey between death and hope, we learn to perceive vertical, non-equal relations as a social good, not only in rural Rajasthan, but also in much of the world—including settings stridently committed to equality. Challenging egalo-normative commitments, Anastasia Piliavsky asks scholars across the disciplines to recognize hierarchy as a major intellectual resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the world of the New York Times–bestselling Winner’s Trilogy, Marie Rutkoski's The Midnight Lie is an epic LGBTQ romantic fantasy about learning to free ourselves from the lies others tell us—and the lies we tell ourselves. Where Nirrim lives, crime abounds, a harsh tribunal rules, and society’s pleasures are reserved for the High Kith. Life in the Ward is grim and punishing. People of her low status are forbidden from sampling sweets or wearing colors. You either follow the rules, or pay a tithe and suffer the consequences. Nirrim keeps her head down, and a dangerous secret close to her chest. But then she encounters Sid, a rakish traveler from far away, who whispers rumors that the High Kith possess magic. Sid tempts Nirrim to seek that magic for herself. But to do that, Nirrim must surrender her old life. She must place her trust in this sly stranger who asks, above all, not to be trusted.
