Download or read book Rockaway written by Diane Cardwell and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational story of one woman learning to surf and creating a new life in gritty, eccentric Rockaway Beach Unmoored by a failed marriage and disconnected from her high-octane life in the city, Diane Cardwell finds herself staring at a small group of surfers coasting through mellow waves toward shore--and senses something shift. Rockaway is the riveting, joyful story of one woman's reinvention--beginning with Cardwell taking the A Train to Rockaway, a neglected spit of land dangling off New York City into the Atlantic Ocean. She finds a teacher, buys a tiny bungalow, and throws her not-overly-athletic self headlong into learning the inner workings and rhythms of waves and the muscle development and coordination needed to ride them. As Cardwell begins to find her balance in the water and out, superstorm Sandy hits, sending her into the maelstrom in search of safer ground. In the aftermath, the community comes together and rebuilds, rekindling its bacchanalian spirit as a historic surfing community, one with its own quirky codes and surf culture. And Cardwell's surfing takes off as she finds a true home among her fellow passionate longboarders at the Rockaway Beach Surf Club, living out "the most joyful path through life." Rockaway is a stirring story of inner salvation sought through a challenging physical pursuit--and of learning to accept the idea of a complete reset, no matter when in life it comes.
Book Synopsis The Lockerbie Bombing by : Jim Swire
Download or read book The Lockerbie Bombing written by Jim Swire and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A father details his loss, grief, and fight for the truth following his daughter’s death in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in December 1988 was the largest attack on Britain since World War II. 259 passengers and 11 townsfolk of Lockerbie were murdered. Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime. He maintained his innocence until his death in 2012. Among the passengers was Flora, beloved daughter of Dr Jim Swire. Jim accepted American claims that Libya was responsible, but during the Lockerbie Trial he began to distrust key witnesses and supposed firm evidence. Since then, it has been revealed that the United States paid millions of dollars to two central identification witnesses, and the only forensic evidence central to the prosecution has been discredited. The book takes us along Dr. Swire’s journey as his initial grief and loss becomes a campaign to uncover the truth behind not only a personal tragedy but one of the modern world’s most shocking events. Praise for The Lockerbie Bombing “It is hard to read this book without concluding that Dr Swire is right, and that for reasons that are both understandable and shameful, successive British governments repeated obstructed the investigation and they did so at the instigation of our American allies. . . . This book recounts Swire’s long and painful search for the truth about Lockerbie and his version is persuasive. It is disturbing too because, if he has it right, the Scottish judges who have now three times rejected appeals against the original verdict, have made it hard to have confidence in the integrity of our law.” —The Scotsman “Fascinating, compelling—a book about international intrigue, personal feelings, and ethics. Right at its heart is the search for truth.” —Kate Adie “Lockerbie's heartrending epitaph. . . . A shattering tale of grief and love.” —Daily Mail

Book Synopsis NSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War by : Curt Cardwell
Download or read book NSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War written by Curt Cardwell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War re-examines the origins and implementation of NSC 68, the massive rearmament program that the United States embarked upon beginning in the summer of 1950. Curt Cardwell reinterprets the origins of NSC 68 to demonstrate that the aim of the program was less about containing communism than ensuring the survival of the nascent postwar global economy, upon which rested postwar US prosperity. The book challenges most studies on NSC 68 as a document of geostrategy and argues instead that it is more correctly understood as a document rooted in concerns for the US domestic political economy.
Download or read book The Lockerbie Trial written by John Grant and published by . This book was released on 2004-02-25 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of the Lockerbie incident from the evening it occurred on 21 December 1988 through the trial and subsequent appeal to the discontinuance of Libya's conflict against the United States and the United Kingdom in the International Court on September 10, 2003. It provides the core legal texts relevant to the trial and appeal - and to the associated International Court conflict. An introductory chapter analyzes the sequence of events establishing that international terrorists are best dealt with in national courts, and not in the international courts and tribunals. States should be prepared to think outside the box when exercising national jurisdiction, as the U.K. did in arranging a trial in another country and with judges replacing a jury as the fact finders. Documents in this work include: the petition for arrest, the indictment, the demands of the U.K. and U.S. for the surrender of the two Libyan suspects for trial, the Libyan response to these demands, the various Security Council resolutions endorsing these demands, the trial and the appeal judgments and the order on provisional measures and the judgment on preliminary objections of the International Court of Justice. The documents are collected into four parts: - Part 1: The Investigation and the Identification of the Accused - contains documents from the date of the tragedy to the time of the Scottish warrants to arrest the two Libyans and the U.S. indictment in November 1991 - Part 2: Getting the Accused to Trial - has documents from the end of 1991 to (and slightly beyond) the surrender of the two Libyans for trial in April 1999, generally concerning the moves within the United Nations to have the two Libyan suspects surrendered for trial. This part also contains reports of two Scottish cases involving allegations of contempt of court and attempts by the BBC to televise the trial - Part 3: The Trial and the Appeal - contains the trial verdict and the reasons for it, the grounds of appeal and the appeal judgment, plus critiques of the verdict and the appeal decision. It covers the period from late 1999 to September 2003 when Libya was acknowledged as having met the demands originally made in 1991-92 - Part 4: Meanwhile at the International Court - contains documents (from March 1992 to September 2003) relating to the conflict raised by Libya against the U.S. and U.K. relating to the Lockerbie incident.
Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Special Advisers by : Peter Cardwell
Download or read book The Secret Life of Special Advisers written by Peter Cardwell and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A cracking read by a great writer." – Chris Mason, BBC political editor "A rare, fascinating and funny look at life in the corridors of power." – Isabel Hardman, author of Why We Get the Wrong Politicians and Spectator assistant editor "It's the book we have long needed." – Michael Crick "A timely look at how some of the key relationships in Westminster work, and how they sometimes misfire." – Laura Kuenssberg, BBC presenter and former political editor *** Shadowy geniuses whispering, Rasputin-like, into the ears of our elected politicians under a cloak of secrecy, or a crucial but undervalued cog in the machinery of government? ... Or just a rag-tag band of weirdos and misfits? Despite the acres of speculation devoted to special advisers from Alastair Campbell to Dominic Cummings, their role is much misunderstood. Who are the people Piers Morgan once called 'these miserable little creatures' and just how much influence do they have? Peter Cardwell served as SpAd to four Cabinet ministers, acting as media adviser, political fixer, troubleshooter and occasional wardrobe consultant. In this candid, compelling and frequently hilarious insider account, he reveals what the job really involves, from dealing with counter-terror emergencies in Cobra to explaining to the Justice Secretary what a dental dam is, to having your inside leg measured in a government office. Packed with advice on navigating the perks and pitfalls of the job, The Secret Life of Special Advisers will inform and entertain anyone who has ever wondered what these mysterious figures really do all day.

Book Synopsis 36 Deadly Bubishi Points by : Rand Cardwell
Download or read book 36 Deadly Bubishi Points written by Rand Cardwell and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to target the weaknesses of an attacker and effectively exploit them in order to defend yourself! The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points explains the pressure point techniques found in the Bubishi, the ancient "Bible of Karate," and how recognizing them allows you to defend yourself against such attacks. This book closely examines these vital points and the science behind them, and the author fills a gap in general understanding of how the 36 vital points found in the Bubishi can be targeted using pressure point fighting techniques. While much has been written about the vital points and their medicinal importance, thanks to the popularity of practices such as acupuncture, martial research on the subject has been lacking. Cardwell discusses the vital points from the perspective of an experienced martial artist--including how the body's vital points are related to the 8 extraordinary vessels and 12 meridians which circulate energy throughout the body. Through detailed step-by-step instructions and over 96 photographs and illustrations, The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points shows how this knowledge can be employed in self-defense.
