Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Without question this is an important new addition to World War II and Cold War historiography.... Highly recommended." -- Douglas Brinkley, author of Dean Acheson: The Cold War Years and The Unfinished Presidency: Jimmy Carter's Journey beyond the White House "A remarkably objective, yet sympathetic, study of Louis Johnson's life and career. Now only half-remembered,... Johnson was a major national figure. Colorful, aggressive, independent-minded, egotistical, his strong views and conflicts with Dean Acheson proved to be his undoing. All in all, a fascinating tale." -- James R. Schlesinger, former Secretary of Defense "McFarland and Roll have performed a real service in rescuing from obscurity this Democratic mover and shaker. Their account of the rise and fall of Louis Johnson provides us with the fullest depiction yet of an important Washington figure employed for better or worse as a blunt instrument of policy change by both Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman." -- Alonzo L. Hamby, author of Man of the People: A Life of Harry S. Truman and For the Survival of Democracy: Franklin Roosevelt and the World Crisis of the 1930s "[Johnson's] career is a cautionary tale of how even the most ruthlessly effective men can become pawns in the Washington power game. McFarland and Roll bring Johnson to life in this thorough and well-told history." -- Evan Thomas, Newsweek, author of Robert Kennedy: His Life and The Very Best Men: The Early Years of the CIA Louis Johnson was FDR's Assistant Secretary of War and the architect of the industrial mobilization plans that put the nation on a war footing prior to its entry into World War II. Later, as Truman's Secretary of Defense, Johnson was given the difficult job of unifying the armed forces and carrying out Truman's orders to dramatically reduce defense expenditures. In both administrations, he was asked to confront and carry out extremely unpopular initiatives -- massive undertakings that each president believed were vital to the nation's security and economic welfare. Johnson's conflicts with Henry Morganthau, Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring, Winston Churchill, Harry Hopkins, Dean Acheson, Averell Harriman, and Paul Nitze find contemporary parallels in the recent disagreements between the national defense establishment and the State Department.

Book excerpt: In this powerful guidebook, the lead pastor of Fellowship Church demonstrates how the moments that test our faith are the moments God uses to direct our hearts to the one thing we truly desire most: a relationship with Christ. When the people of Israel, those who had witnessed the most abundant and inexplicable acts of God, grew tired of waiting for Moses to come off the mountain, they made a calf of gold. It was easier for them to make a new god than to continue serving a God that didn’t conform to their schedule and expectations. Just like the Israelites in the desert, we are all fundamentally longing for God… but who and what are we actually reaching for and serving? Disobedient God addresses the things we do when we feel ignored, inconvenienced and frustrated by God. What things are we reaching for in our life? Are we reaching for porn when we long for intimacy? Reaching for success when we long for security? We would never say that we have replaced God, but our actions tell a different story. Whether we are trying to replace God, trying to run away or trying to perform for Him, we have no mindset to deal with a disobedient God. Disobedient God is a book for people dealing with this disappointment and interested in properly understanding and loving the God they’ve misunderstood. This is not a step-by-step instruction manual for how to react when things are difficult; rather, it is a way of understanding God that leads people to discover the relationship with God that they were always meant for.

Book excerpt: A death in remote Scotland remains an unspoken secret—for now . . . “A cracking read that will keep you engaged until the very end.” —Sharon Bairden, author of Sins of the Father On a remote Scottish hillside, three paths meet. On each path, a boy, one carrying a gun. When their paths cross, a shot is fired and a boy dies. That leaves two—one killer and one perfect witness . . . This killer will stop at nothing to make sure the witness says nothing. Keeping quiet can be difficult, even for someone who’s been guarding a secret of his own for five years. What if the witness decides he’s been silent too long? Sometimes even the unspeakable must be spoken, if we can find the words . . . From the bestselling author of the psychological thrillers Till The Dust Settles and I Know Where You Live. One Perfect Witness is a gripping thriller with a “brilliant storyline, great characters and an unusually satisfying ending” (Wendy Haines).

Book excerpt: Jonathan’s Tales, Volume 1, is a compilation of 11 magical bedtime stories told verbally to my then 6-year-old son. They are enhanced written transpositions from the audio versions captured on my android phone numbering nearly 100 recorded stories. A list of additional stories is at the end of this book. The Tales, came to life after my son’s bedtime toilette, and he, snuggled in bed, arbitrarily drew from his head a binary subject and allowed me several minutes to ponder a story. These Tales located firmly in the magical realism genre were told with three principal aims. Firstly, entertainment. Secondly, erudition to increase knowledge on specific items of facts, or to whet my son’s appetite to seek out more information (the notations referenced at the end of the book for each Tale act as a starting aid). Finally, didactic, a way of subtly introducing a broader morality into my son’s world on an array of subjects including, but not exclusively, the power of love and friendship, of kindness and honesty and the importance of inclusivity recognising we are all, as individuals, very different.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely revised and expanded edition of "English Prepositions Explained (EPE)," originally published in 1998, " "covers approximately 100 simple, compound, and phrasal English prepositions of space and time with the focus being on short prepositions such as "at, by, in, "and "on. "Its target readership includes teachers of ESOL, pre-service translators and interpreters, undergraduates in English linguistics programs, studious advanced learners and users of English, and anyone who is inquisitive about the English language. The overall aim is to explain how and why meaning changes when one preposition is swapped for another in the same context. While retaining most of the structure of the original, this edition says more about more prepositions. It includes many more figures virtually all new. The exposition draws on recent research, and is substantially founded on evidence from digitalized corpora, including frequency data. "EPE" gives information and insights that will not be found in dictionaries and grammar handbooks."

Cerberus Versus Pandora 4. Sisters Enter this dystopian world where corporations rule the people like kings and queens and personal freedom is an unheard-of concept. The Earth is slowly dying as mile-thick clouds known as Dry Clouds prevent the sun from shining down on half the planet. They mysteriously appeared one day and slowly spread across the remaining planet, and if they are not stopped, the Earth is doomed. Many mysteries abound in this apocalyptic science fiction series. Where did the Dry Clouds come from and how can they be stopped? Who is Kat? And who killed Kim's mom? These are just a few of the unanswered questions that start this sci-fi action-adventure series. Prologue: On a parallel Earth, thick puffy barriercumulus also known as Dry Clouds covered the sky and prevented the glimmer of twilight from shining on the city of Noir. For three decades, the polluted high-troposphere looming clouds covered half the planet and left part of the world to live in endless night. The mile-thick clouds yielded petroleum-based contaminated water dubbed Tainted Rain and polluted the air, so they were named Dry Clouds for leaving half the planet without drinkable water. At first, scientists believed pollution caused the great cloud barrier but that theory proved to be false. What caused the Dry Clouds to form baffled scientists, and how to reverse them eluded reason, and only technology's constant battle with nature has kept the dark city alive. Man's need for conquest expanded Noir to cover more than half a continent of what would have been called North America, and Noir became a Mega-city. It was the only one in the world. Over the last twenty years, Transgenics and bio-mechas evolved at a breakneck pace. Transgenics were genetically modified organisms with an extra-genome and were mostly plants produced to survive without the sun. Bio-mechas were robots resembling living things. In this world, corporations not governments ruled the people, creating a society where profit set policy and dictated life. Those who resided in Noir were touched by darkness, and the light of goodness seemed a forgotten memory and they... they lived in the gray —Shades of Gray.
