Book excerpt: “Warfare goes digital in movie and TV writer Drew Chapman’s fast-moving debut, a high-stakes thriller that pits the online might of China against that of the United States” (Publishers Weekly) as reluctant patriot Garrett Reilly races around the globe to avert total war. Numbers don’t lie…Not according to Garrett Reilly who, just two weeks past his twenty-sixth birthday, thinks he’s probably the best bond analyst at his brokerage, maybe the best in all of lower Manhattan. Garrett’s memory for numbers is photographic. But he doesn’t just memorize numbers: he sorts them, ranks them, senses patterns. As he watches buy and sell numbers float across his computer monitor, Garrett notices what nobody else can: that US Treasury bonds are being sold off at an alarming rate. Two hundred billion dollars worth. It’s a discovery that Garrett knows will make him stinking rich. But then the US military arrives at his office and Garrett’s life is thrown into free fall. Captain Alexis Truffant explains that Garrett has stumbled on something bigger and scarier than he could have ever imagined: the first attack in a covert war of unthinkable proportions. Garrett begins to link a series of seemingly unrelated—and very dangerous—events that start in New York, but continue to Las Vegas, Oregon, and all lead back to rural China. Suddenly, Garrett is the only one left standing between an unknown enemy and the very security of our country. The only problem? Numbers don’t lie…but sometimes governments do. “The Hunt for Red October meets Hackers…Ascendant is a must-read for international thriller fans” (Booklist, starred review). “This is a wild ride through the headlines of our times” (Kirkus Reviews).

Book Synopsis America Ascendant by : Dennis M. Spragg
Download or read book America Ascendant written by Dennis M. Spragg and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America Ascendant vividly portrays the global crisis that brought the media and the government into an alliance that changed the course of American and world history. President Franklin D. Roosevelt organized an extraordinary partnership between the U.S. government and America’s media outlets to communicate to the reluctant and isolationist American public the nature of the threat that World War II posed to the nation and the world. The coalition’s aim was to promote the concept of American exceptionalism and use it to galvanize the public for the government’s cause. America Ascendant details the efforts of many prominent individuals and officials to harness the collective energy of the nation and guide the United States throughout World War II then describes its aftermath and the Cold War period. Dennis M. Spragg demonstrates how the news and entertainment of American broadcasters such as David Sarnoff, William Paley, and Elmer Davis helped rally the American people to fashion a new liberal democratic order to stop the global spread of Communism. This media-government alliance, however, was not achieved without difficulty. Spragg highlights the competing visions and personalities that clashed, as media and government leaders tried to develop the paradigm that ultimately shifted American cultural and political thought. Throughout this searching history he sheds light on the underappreciated coordination between the media and the government to establish a liberal democratic world order and demonstrates why American exceptionalism still matters.

Book Synopsis Aquarius Ascendant Secrets by : Saket Shah
Download or read book Aquarius Ascendant Secrets written by Saket Shah and published by Saket Shah. This book was released on 2020-01-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are times when people just can’t identify with the attributes of their Sun or Moon sign. In fact, they may feel that they are an antithesis of their zodiac sign. You may also have observed it. Your Leo friend may not seek attention, may be because he or she has a Capricorn ascendant. Your Sagittarius friend is very possessive, may be because he or she has a Scorpio Ascendant. It is easy to understand why some people do not correspond to their Sun or Moon signs once you know about what is the rising sign or Ascendant in a horoscope. Ascendant is the degree of the zodiac sign that was highest on the Easter horizon at the time and place of birth. When seen from Earth, the sky seems to move, so the entire zodiac can be observed in a span of 24 hours day which means the rising sign changes on the Eastern horizon every 2 hours because there are 12 zodiac signs. People tend to associate their physical, emotional and spiritual attributes more with rising sign at times.

Book Synopsis Be Your Own Astrologer: Ascendant Gemini a Comprehensive Introduction by : Dr. Bhojraj Dwivedi
Download or read book Be Your Own Astrologer: Ascendant Gemini a Comprehensive Introduction written by Dr. Bhojraj Dwivedi and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ascendant is the most important element of Astronomy and Astrology. Ascendant is the fundamental factor or seed of Astrology. This is the base on which the entire mansion of Astrology or the vast banyan tree stands. The calculative portion of Astrology can be solved by computer to a great extent, but the predictive portion is out of question. Astrology without prediction is just like a flower without fragrance. Many a time learned Astrologers and professional fortune-tellers are hesitant in giving correct predictions. The present book is intended to combat this challenge, by presenting facts and figures Ascendant-wise in separate books so that a clear and concise avenue may be opened for those who are aspiring to know what is there in store for them in the celestial world. With the help of this book people can know their future and they can foretell the future of their near and dear ones. It is our humble endeavour to bestow the common people with knowledge of Astrological prediction. Twelve (12) Ascendants arise in the sky during the course of a day and night. An Ascendant exists for roughly two (2) hours. It is the first step towards giving the prediction on the basis of Ascendant itself. It is hoped that it will be appreciated in the world of Astrology.
