Book Synopsis The Wanderjahr Project by : Christy Howell
Download or read book The Wanderjahr Project written by Christy Howell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DNA. Free will. Secret government projects. That was just the beginning. For centuries mankind has been living under the assumption that they were free. It's time they knew the truth. They were created for a specific purpose: to be soldiers, to lead armies. For two decades they were trained for that purpose-physically, mentally, and emotionally. But something went wrong. The two soldiers disappeared, and the project was terminated. Now, centuries later, it is time for Sentry and Sentinel to meet again in an encounter that will decide the fate of humanity. For many people it will be a battle that will be the culmination of many years of intensive work, while for others it will be a sudden and nearly incomprehensible change: an FBI Captain will be forced to confront his prejudices; a reporter will discover a terrible secret from her childhood; a Runner will lead a revolution; and a president will have to face the truth about himself. .For some it will mean betrayals. Others will become heroes.

But when events begin to occur that challenge his view of the world, he will be forced to consider where his loyalties lie. In a virtually disease-free world, Laura Mylan is a medical mystery. No one has been able to identify her disorder, much less find a cure for it. But the truth behind her illness lies much deeper than she could have imagined. Max Owen has lived his entire life behind a fence - all because of some genetic defect he doesn't even understand. But after deciding to see what's on the other side, he realizes he's in for a lot more than he bargained for. Wanderjahr was the project that took away the world's freedom. This is the story of those who fought to get it back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American frontier was a land of opportunity. It called to the hearts of men and women who longed for freedom, for new beginnings, and for adventure. But for many, this untamed territory turned out to be a proving ground, where a person's strength was tested beyond civilized limits. Some gave up the fight and traveled back East. Others didn't survive the challenges they faced. But for those with the strongest of character, the West became home. Come along to a country where a man could die a thousand different ways. See through their eyes what it was like to face grizzly bear attacks, fires, smallpox outbreaks, rabid coyotes, cattle stampedes, Indian raids, outlaws and more. The indomitable spirit of the West became that of the brave men and women who made these territories their home. Legends were born - some widely talked about, others known only to a small town in the middle of nowhere. Whether small or great, these legends still give purpose and hope.

Book Synopsis Chase, Chance, and Creativity by : James H. Austin
Download or read book Chase, Chance, and Creativity written by James H. Austin and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-08-15 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal story of the ways in which persistence, chance, and creativity interact in biomedical research. This first book by the author of Zen and the Brain examines the role of chance in the creative process. James Austin tells a personal story of the ways in which persistence, chance, and creativity interact in biomedical research; the conclusions he reaches shed light on the creative process in any field. Austin shows how, in his own investigations, unpredictable events shaped the outcome of his research and brought about novel results. He then goes beyond this story of serendipity to propose a new classification of the varieties of chance, drawing on his own research and examples from the history of science—including the famous accidents that led Fleming to the discovery of penicillin. Finally, he explores the nature of the creative process, considering not only the environmental and neurophysiological correlates of creativity but also the role of intuition in both scientific discoveries and spiritual quests. This updated MIT Press paperback edition includes a new introduction and recent material on medical research, creativity, and spirituality.

Book Synopsis Beyond Winning by : National Association of Fellowships Advisors. Conference
Download or read book Beyond Winning written by National Association of Fellowships Advisors. Conference and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year thousands of students apply for competitive national and international scholarships such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates Cambridge, and Fulbright. The competition for these awards is intense, and students look to scholarship advisors for support. Many universities have created an office or designated part of an office to assist these students, which has provided greater access for students who may not have applied previously or successfully. It has also increased the competition. The twelve essays in this collection from the 2003 National Association of Fellowships Advisors Conference held at the University of Denver. Essays by the heads of the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates, and Truman Scholarship foundations provide a sense of the philosophy and direction of their programs. The essays provide information on new initiatives, insights into the history and significance of the programs, and insider tips for application and interview preparation. Other essays focus on the advising and application process from successful advisors at various universities, how the U.K. higher educational system differs from that in the United States, and the key issue of ethics in the application process. All the essays demonstrate that the scholarship application experience itself is a valuable one that is more about learning and service than it is about winning.

Download or read book The Sum of Us written by Heather McGhee and published by One World. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • One of today’s most insightful and influential thinkers offers a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone—not just for people of color. WINNER OF THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ms. magazine, BookRiot, Library Journal “This is the book I’ve been waiting for.”—Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist Look for the author’s new podcast, The Sum of Us, based on this book! Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policymaking. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out? McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country—from parks and pools to functioning schools—have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare. But in unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a black woman to a multiracial America. It leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game. LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL

Download or read book Perennial Decay written by Liz Constable and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Oscar Wilde was convicted of gross indecency in 1895, a reporter for the National Observer wrote that there was "not a man or a woman in the English-speaking world possessed of the treasure of a wholesome mind who is not under a deep debt of gratitude to the marquis of Queensberry for destroying the high Priest of the Decadents." But reports of the death of decadence were greatly exaggerated, and today, more than one hundred years after the famous trial and at the beginning of a new millennium, the phenomenon of decadence continues to be a significant cultural force. Indeed, "decadence" in the nineteenth century, and in our own period, has been a concept whose analysis yields a broad set of associations. In Perennial Decay, Emily Apter, Charles Bernheimer, Sylvia Molloy, Michael Riffaterre, Barbara Spackman, Marc Weiner, and others extend the critical field of decadence beyond the traditional themes of morbidity, the cult of artificiality, exoticism, and sexual nonconformism. They approach the question of decadence afresh, reevaluating the continuing importance of late nineteenth-century decadence for contemporary literary and cultural studies.

Book excerpt: Through three centuries of interstellar travel, intelligent alien life- forms had never been encountered . . . until now. When a scientific team exploring an obscure planet fails to make its regular communications check, the Marines of third platoon are sent to investigate. They prepare for a routine rescue operation, but what they find on Society 437 is a horror beyond description. Only a handful of ragtag pirates who were in the wrong place at the very worst time have survived, and there is little trace of the scientists. What happened to the scientists? Why have the pirates been spared? Gunnery Sergeant Bass and the men of third platoon are about to find out, and the answer carries a terrifying implication for the Marines—and the entire human race.
