Book excerpt: There have been uncountable episodes in military history were rearguards, made up of merely a handful of brave and determined men, staved off superior enemy forces. The stories of most of them were soon forgotten, having been too small and insignificant to be noted in thick history books. But for the men who took part in them, these actions were momentous. They knew what likely fate awaited them. These measures were by their very nature usually desperate ones, and their outcome had almost always meant inevitable annihilation. But their love of their land, families and their camaraderie too, gave them the needed strength and determination to help them overcome their fear of the predictable fate: Death. Will the difficult operation described within these pages follow the same pattern?

Book Synopsis How to Avoid a Climate Disaster by : Bill Gates
Download or read book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster written by Bill Gates and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Book excerpt: Trip three to the Ukraine was an out of the ordinary journey, primarily for one reason: The Maidan. To visit this, in the meantime, world famous city square during the major protest movement known as the Euromaidan was the reason why I returned to this nation at this time, impromptu and in the dead of winter. Wanting to make the best out of this tour, I also visited my friends on the Crimea. Thus I went on another road trip, this time from Kiev directly to Simferopol. The mid-winter season would make this journey a somewhat adventurous undertaking, being in a country already fraught with bad roads. Another very memorable place visited was a former secret submarine base by the small Crimean town of Balaklava.

Book Synopsis Alisha: A Desert Urchin Part II: Alharibin by : Frank Keith
Download or read book Alisha: A Desert Urchin Part II: Alharibin written by Frank Keith and published by Frank Keith. This book was released on 1901 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The worst sand storm from time immemorial is rushing over the lands of Sultan Mejhem ibn El-Hashem’s territory. Within its murkiness and brutally assaulted by sand and dust trots a large caravan. It comes from the coastal city of Tyre and its mission is to bring the Byzantine ambassador to el-Hashem in Sakakah. The goal is to bring the two allies closer together in their fight against the barbarian tribes from the far north. Meanwhile, Alisha, Zenobia and the Vandal Geisarix are still locked up in the dungeon. The girls had fallen from grace with the sultan and would from now on serve as sexual objects for his soldiers. But things turn out a little different than everyone thinks. The girls are unexpectedly released from their cells. They are brought back into the palace, where they are cleaned, handed new clothes and prepared to be served as sex slaves for special guests of the sultan. As it turns out, this is a prime opportunity for Alisha and Zenobia to escape, but not before they are forced to perform an awful deed. They manage to free others from the dungeons too and make their way into the city, barely escaping recapture from roving patrols of soldiers. Alisha safely guides the other escapees to a certain house in the city, whose owner she knows. They are safe there for the time being, but on the next day already they are once again forced to flee. They make their way to Farid’s house. There they also find shelter and a hiding place and they even learn that Farid is the true emir of Sakakah. In addition, they get informed about other truths concerning the sultan and other persons. But their prime concern is getting out of the city. This is made very difficult by the sultan’s significant search efforts to find them. When they are informed that a delegation of Vandals is coming to town, it raises the hopes of Alisha, Zenobia and Geisarix, for they expect to get help from them to escape the sultan’s clutch. However, this still poses problems since the delegation is not a large force at all, but merely a small group of warriors. The three fugitives are taken to another house in yet another part of the city. There, Geisarix and the girls enjoy a big surprise; another Vandal sits before them on a chair, bound and gagged. He is freed from the fetters, and then he and Geisarix make plans that will hopefully help them to escape. But then they get informed that the sultan and the Vandals are no longer enemies and that the sultan and the Byzantines are no allies. What does this mean for the escapees? Is this news even true, or did the diabolical emir concoct a deception? If not, what will happen to the Vandal delegation? The sultan has no Geisarix to present them with, after all, and this was the main reason why the Vandal delegation had been summoned to Sakakah in the first place. Will there be a war now, or will the opposing parties find a consensus?
Book Synopsis Alisha: A Desert Urchin by : Frank Keith
Download or read book Alisha: A Desert Urchin written by Frank Keith and published by Frank Keith. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sultan Mejhem ibn El-Hashem has forty-two wives and countless children. He has a large, prosperous realm, a large palace and numerous fortresses too. He has good relations with the Byzantine Empire and also the Persian one. Emissaries come from far and wide to pay homage to this illustrious ruler of Anazzah, master of Sakakah and Ar’ar, of the numerous other towns, villages and oases and of the deserts too stretching to the north, to the south, to the west and to the east. But, despite the sultan’s many riches, influence and power, and his complete command over life and death, he lacks the control over one single person. And her name is Alisha. Alisha is but one of many … one wife out of forty-two. A mere child when she was snatched away from the streets of Sakakah, this former street urchin was discovered by one of the sultan’s wife seekers. She was a beautiful girl, only thirteen years old and just right for the ruler. Alisha was made a wife and she served him well enough until other, younger wives took his interest away from her. But Alisha did not care about this. She never loved nor even liked the sultan. She thought of him as an old, fat and ugly man, aloof and uncaring and wholly inadequate as a husband. And despite her previous life in the city streets, Alisha was never impressed by el-Hashem’s power and wealth. One day, Alisha fell in love with another wife of the sultan. Her name is Zenobia. And Zenobia loved Alisha too, for she felt the same way about their husband as Alisha. Thus, the two wives of the sultan lived their daily lives in the palace, married to him, but devoted to each other. Alisha kept up the veneer of being a sultan’s wife until one day she and Zenobia met a prisoner. His name is Geisarix and he was brought to Sakakah by the Byzantines, who had captured him in battle. The barbarian warrior was to be sold as a slave, but the sultan bought him instead, to be made a member of his guards. When Alisha and Zenobia first saw him, they were impressed by his looks, strength and sense of freedom. This chance meeting inadvertently increased Alisha’s desires to be free again, like she once was. And thus she and Zenobia initiated a plan that would free them from the sultan’s clutches and liberate Geisarix too, whose defiance got him thrown into the dungeon. Although things initially went well, they run into trouble when the sultan catches wind of some of their misdeeds. Eventually, the two girls end up in the dungeons, and even a slave too, who had assisted the two wives. And thus the four of them sit in murky cells, lost and forlorn. What will happen next? Will the sultan punish Alisha and Zenobia further, as he had promised? Or will they be set free? If not, can they get free on their own? Will Alisha forsake Zenobia to favor Geisarix, or perhaps vice versa? And what will become of Bahira, the slave?
Book Synopsis Brother of the Wander Path by : Frank Keith
Download or read book Brother of the Wander Path written by Frank Keith and published by Frank Keith. This book was released on with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a most unusual hobo. His real name is Henry Best, but all those who know him call him by the moniker Lefty. In the beginning, Lefty is as emblematic a vagabond as thousands of others too, which roam the nation during the early parts of the twentieth century. That is, he was until time and a few particular experiences turn him into a remarkable hobo. He is a rather complicated character to begin with and also a shrewd and sharp one too. Lefty’s greatest enjoyment in life, besides traveling, is telling children tales of his travels while he and they are gathered around his campfires. Although it is great fun and entirely harmless, many adults frown upon this because they either see danger to their children from Lefty or generally dislike hobos. One day, Lefty discovers a box during one of his countless wanderings. It lay half-submerged in a creek and when he retrieves it he finds that he can’t open it because it is a so-called strong box. However, later on and with the help of some children friends, who brought him tools to his camp, he managed to get it open. To his and the children’s disappointment, the box only contains some pocket change and papers. He divides the money equally with the children and put the papers back into the box and hides it. Lefty went away after he got roughed up by some locals and travels thousands of miles, crisscrossing the nation. He goes through thick and thin during the following year. Lefty lives through numerous adventures and he is nearly killed a couple of times too. That strong box he had found will profoundly change his life and other people’s too. He just didn’t know it yet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The migrant crisis has a solid grip on Europe. For months it’s been in the forefront of news accounts.

The continent faces ever greater numbers of people fleeing the third-world. The reasons are many, the problems they bring with them too. If allowed to go unchecked, they could prove to be insurmountable. The essay encompasses many facts and figures, some scarcely known to the general public, even to those who are forced to live through the largest waves of human migration seen in this part of the world since WWII.
Download or read book Fortress Israel written by Patrick Tyler and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once in the military system, Israelis never fully exit," writes the prizewinning journalist Patrick Tyler in the prologue to Fortress Israel. "They carry the military identity for life, not just through service in the reserves until age forty-nine . . . but through lifelong expectations of loyalty and secrecy." The military is the country to a great extent, and peace will only come, Tyler argues, when Israel's military elite adopt it as the national strategy. Fortress Israel is an epic portrayal of Israel's martial culture—of Sparta presenting itself as Athens. From Israel's founding in 1948, we see a leadership class engaged in an intense ideological struggle over whether to become the "light unto nations," as envisioned by the early Zionists, or to embrace an ideology of state militarism with the objective of expanding borders and exploiting the weaknesses of the Arabs. In his first decade as prime minister, David Ben-Gurion conceived of a militarized society, dominated by a powerful defense establishment and capable of defeating the Arabs in serial warfare over many decades. Bound by self-reliance and a stern resolve never to forget the Holocaust, Israel's military elite has prevailed in war but has also at times overpowered Israel's democracy. Tyler takes us inside the military culture of Moshe Dayan, Yitzhak Rabin, Ariel Sharon, and Benjamin Netanyahu, introducing us to generals who make decisions that trump those of elected leaders and who disdain diplomacy as appeasement or surrender. Fortress Israel shows us how this martial culture envelops every family. Israeli youth go through three years of compulsory military service after high school, and acceptance into elite commando units or air force squadrons brings lasting prestige and a network for life. So ingrained is the martial outlook and identity, Tyler argues, that Israelis are missing opportunities to make peace even when it is possible to do so. "The Zionist movement had survived the onslaught of world wars, the Holocaust, and clashes of ideology," writes Tyler, "but in the modern era of statehood, Israel seemed incapable of fielding a generation of leaders who could adapt to the times, who were dedicated to ending . . . [Israel's] isolation, or to changing the paradigm of military preeminence." Based on a vast array of sources, declassified documents, personal archives, and interviews across the spectrum of Israel's ruling class, FortressIsrael is a remarkable story of character, rivalry, conflict, and the competing impulses for war and for peace in the Middle East.
