Book excerpt: From a New York Times bestselling and Hugo award-winning author comes a modern masterwork of science fiction, introducing a captain, his crew, and a detective as they unravel a horrifying solar system wide conspiracy that begins with a single missing girl. Now a Prime Original series. Humanity has colonized the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond—but the stars are still out of our reach. Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for—and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why. Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything. Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations—and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe. "Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." —George R. R.

Book excerpt: David Brinkley, one of America's most respected and celebrated news commentators, turns his journalistic skills to a personal account of the tumultuous days of World War II in the sleepy little Southern town that was Washington, D.C. Carrying us from the first days of the war through Roosevelt's death and the celebration of VJ Day, Brinkley surrounds us with fascinating people. Here are the charismatic President Roosevelt and the woman spy, code name "Cynthia." Here, too, are the diplomatic set, new Pentagon officials, and old-line society members--aka "Cave Dwellers." We meet the brashest and the brightest who actually ran the government, and the countless men and women who came to support the war effort in any way they could--all seeking to share in the adventure of their generation.

Download or read book Pocketbook Politics written by Meg Jacobs and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How much does it cost?" We think of this question as one that preoccupies the nation's shoppers, not its statesmen. But, as Pocketbook Politics dramatically shows, the twentieth-century American polity in fact developed in response to that very consumer concern. In this groundbreaking study, Meg Jacobs demonstrates how pocketbook politics provided the engine for American political conflict throughout the twentieth century. From Woodrow Wilson to Franklin Roosevelt to Richard Nixon, national politics turned on public anger over the high cost of living. Beginning with the explosion of prices at the turn of the century, every strike, demonstration, and boycott was, in effect, a protest against rising prices and inadequate income. On one side, a reform coalition of ordinary Americans, mass retailers, and national politicians fought for laws and policies that promoted militant unionism, government price controls, and a Keynesian program of full employment. On the other, small businessmen fiercely resisted this low-price, high-wage agenda that threatened to bankrupt them. This book recaptures this dramatic struggle, beginning with the immigrant Jewish, Irish, and Italian women who flocked to Edward Filene's famous Boston bargain basement that opened in 1909 and ending with the Great Inflation of the 1970s. Pocketbook Politics offers a new interpretation of state power by integrating popular politics and elite policymaking. Unlike most social historians who focus exclusively on consumers at the grass-roots, Jacobs breaks new methodological ground by insisting on the centrality of national politics and the state in the nearly century-long fight to fulfill the American Dream of abundance.

Book excerpt: The book that serves as the basis for the acclaimed George Clooney major motion picture, The Monuments Men. At the same time Adolf Hitler was attempting to take over the western world, his armies were methodically seeking and hoarding the finest art treasures in Europe. The Fuhrer had begun cataloguing the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: "degenerate" works he despised. In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Monuments Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture. Focusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible mission to save the world's great art from the Nazis.

Book excerpt: The odds were against Hubert Bruns making it to age 80, but he did. Incredible luck prevailed throughout his life. As a youngster, he absconded with a bobsled and raced it down the mountain. As a teenager, he looked down through cracks in some scaffolding straight at Hitler without being shot. At 18 as a German soldier, he left the Front only hours before the Russians counter-attacked late in 1941. At 21, as a veteran, he was buried alive and almost died in Munich. Less dramatic happenings followed, but his luck continued. Two university degrees were acquired and Canadian immigration approved him for citizenship without delay. At 65, he survived a stroke and slowly regained the ability to think, talk and write. Quite a life. Quite a story.

Even though La Donna barely survived the tragic train/car accident that took the lives of her mother, identical twin and baby sister when she was five years old, she had an incredible out-of-body experience that gave her so much peace. She lived with different family members until her father remarried and La Donna's stepmother adopted her when she was eight years old. Her hell began. La Donna went through years of emotional, physical and sexual abuse and she eventually lost all faith in her angels, in God and in humanity. Her life started to plummet while getting into drugs and alcohol and looking for love in all the wrong places. The majority of her thirties were going through therapy trying to find happiness and finding her true self. While she was on the journey of finding her long-lost mother's family, one night she was awoken and driven to write a letter to UNSOLVED MYSTERIES. La Donna wanted to believe in her angels and in a higher power, but she needed proof. La Donna's grandfather, Opa, and her reunion was bittersweet, but their meeting was a wondrous spiritual dance that led her to a new life, a new awakening and a miraculous beginning. La Donna's heart wrenching narration will touch anyone who has ever suffered through heartbreak and /or abuse and gives proof that life can begin again and what's on the other side of healing is truly a miracle. Author Bio: La Donna Alfano is a sculptor and cosmetologist. She lives in Canton, Connecticut. MY DANCE WITH OPA is her first book.

Download or read book With Liberty and Dividends for All written by Peter Barnes and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Barnes argues that because of globalization, automation, and winner-take-all capitalism, there won’t be enough high-paying jobs to sustain America’s middle class in the future. Therefore, to survive economically, our middle class needs—and deserves—a supplementary source of nonlabor income. To meet this need, Barnes proposes to give every American a share of the wealth we own together— starting with our air and financial infrastructure. These shares would pay dividends of several thousand dollars per year—money that wouldn’t be welfare or wealth redistribution but legitimate property income.
