Power And The Presidency

release date: Nov 02, 2007
Power And The Presidency
This sterling collection of original, never-before-published essays on six fascinating contemporary presidents by some of the leading presidential biographers of our time is must reading for anyone interested in American politics, the history of the American presidency, or the lives of the presidents. Each essay -- extending and elaborating on lectures originally delivered as part of the Montgomery Lecture Series at Dartmouth University -- explores how a particular president came to power, wielded power, and was changed by power, and how each presidency affected the power of the office itself. The presidencies addressed are those of Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Reagan, and Clinton. Published as our nation begins the process of electing the 43rd president, during a time when some believe the independence of the office itself is at stake, Power and the Presidency is a timely and thought-provoking look at the nature of power in American democracy.

Nullifying God

release date: Jan 01, 2018
Nullifying God
Evolution and Creation are in a spiritual battle. Evolution scientists ignore, dismiss, and unequivocally reject Creation out of hand—“It is not science or fact as evolution is,” they say. However, Nullifying God shows that random Darwinian evolution does not have the direct evidence required to support the claim. Not only that, but it provides contrary evidence that evolution is biologically impossible. Because that is the case, evolution can only persist in the unchallengeable authority it needs to maintain its position by actively attempting to nullify its alternative—Creation, and therefore, the Bible and God. Nullifying God was especially written to empower and benefit believers who are not familiar with science to show them that evolution cannot be fact and is not science. It does so by: 1) providing them with a core foundation of applied science principles to rationally question evolution’s claims, then 2) guiding them into solid, clear knowledge of why evolution is biologically impossible, and finally 3) presenting them with examples that document evolution’s attempts to nullify God. The bottom line is—Biblical Creation is the only answer that explains life.

Stealing People
Book 3 in the Charles Boxer Series Charlie Boxer, an expert at solving kidnappings, and his ex-wife Detective Mercy Dunqah are tasked with taking down a bold and heartless crime syndicate responsible for the abduction of six children. Two years after the events of You Will Never Find Me (Europa, 2015), Boxer is contemplating retirement. He has found a measure of contentment even as a mystery from his own past gnaws at his sense of justice. Mercy balances a complicated personal life with an even more precarious professional one in the woefully under-resourced metropolitan police department. Both are suddenly pulled back into service when six children of wealthy families vanish, taken by a ruthlessly efficient organization with a single astonishing demand. Investigators stymied and time expiring, they seem set on a calamitous course. Trapped, off-balance, and with little left to lose they plunge into a cauldron of warring intelligence agencies, morally destitute billionaires, and human traffickers, coming finally to a fateful Moroccan reckoning that will forever change them. The latest entry in Robert Wilson''s acclaimed Charlie Boxer series, Stealing People is both topical and thrilling. Wilson unravels a convincing web of international intrigue in a world where heroism may breed vice and virtue is an accidental byproduct of crime.

Barracuda 945

release date: Dec 30, 2010
Barracuda 945
Ravi ricordò all’equipaggio l’arrivo del giorno del Giudizio, il giorno in cui le trombe degli angeli avrebbero suonato tre volte, e gli eletti di Allah avrebbero attraversato il ponte per entrare in Paradiso. Tutti i Suoi figli in quel momento a bordo della nave, costruita dall’uomo per realizzare la volontà di Allah, sarebbero certamente stati nella lista degli eletti. Il maggiore Ray Kerman è stato addestrato alla scuola più dura, quella dello Special Air Service britannico, da sempre in prima linea nella guerra al terrorismo. Esperto nell’uso di armi d’ogni tipo, nel combattimento corpo a corpo e nelle tattiche di guerriglia e infiltrazione, è un elemento prezioso per l’Occidente. Ma nasconde un segreto. Il suo vero nome è Rashood. Di origini iraniane, i suoi genitori si sono perfettamente integrati nella società inglese: il padre, un eminente uomo d’affari, ha cambiato nome per riconoscenza verso la nuova patria. Ray ha frequentato le migliori scuole britanniche, conquistato una posizione di spicco nel SAS ma, segretamente istruito dalla madre, ha coltivato la propria anima islamica. Durante un’operazione di addestramento nella striscia di Gaza, assiste alla brutalità dell’esercito israeliano e, spinto da un impulso che neppure lui sa spiegare, salva una giovane donna palestinese, Shakira, della quale s’innamora. Dato per disperso, del maggiore Kerman si perdono le tracce. Passano i mesi e, dall’analisi comparata di numerose audaci rapine portate a termine con tattiche militari, il controspionaggio occidentale comincia a sospettare che Hamas, il braccio armato più integralista e incontrollabile dell’Organizzazione per la Liberazione della Palestina, abbia un nuovo capo. Un tassello alla volta, inesorabilmente, la Guerra Santa assume un volto nuovo, terrificante. Grazie a una serie di colpi di mano, Ray e Shakira sono saliti ai vertici di Hamas e progettano un piano per mettere in ginocchio l’America con l’aiuto degli iraniani. Comincia così una lunga e snervante partita a scacchi tra i terroristi, impadronitisi del Barracuda 945, un sottomarino russo di ultima generazione capace di rendersi praticamente invisibile, e la marina statunitense. Con questo romanzo Patrick Robinson si conferma un maestro del techno-thriller militare e lancia una sfida, fatta di suspense ed emozioni, allo stesso Tom Clancy.

Free of mathematics and complex graphs, the book nevertheless explains deep concepts of space and time, of relativity and quantum mechanics, and of origin and nature of the universe. It conveys not only the intrinsic fascination of the subject, but also the human side and the scientific method as practised by Kepler, defined and elucidated by Galileo, and then demonstrated by Newton.
