The Trails War formed a major part of the so-called 'secret war' in South East Asia, yet for complex political reasons, including the involvement of the CIA, it received far less coverage than campaigns like Rolling Thunder and Linebacker. Nevertheless, the campaign had a profound effect on the outcome of the war and on its perception in the USA. In the north, the Barrel Roll campaign was often operated by daring pilots flying obsolete aircraft, as in the early years, US forces were still flying antiquated piston-engined T-28 and A-26A aircraft. The campaign gave rise to countless heroic deeds by pilots like the Raven forward air controllers, operating from primitive airstrips in close contact with fierce enemy forces. USAF rescue services carried out extremely hazardous missions to recover aircrew who would otherwise have been swiftly executed by Pathet Lao forces, and reconnaissance pilots routinely risked their lives in solo, low-level mission over hostile territory. Furthe...

Finally the Gospel that everyone's been waiting for in which Jesus gets chance to put the record straight and show how the story of life has been manipulated over time by politicians and religious zealots. This is the book that Gandy and Freke believe Jesus would have wanted to have written.

Irreverent, challenging, extremely funny, and delicately informed by a profound spiritual message - this gospel is the book that Freke and Gandy have been longing to write. They consider it their best work to date and hope that it will prompt debate, discussion and promote a movement aiming to counteract religious division. Product details Format Hardback ...

But while he was flying around the world on his private jet and hosting lavish parties at his private island in the Caribbean, he also was secretly masterminding an international child sex ring-one that may have involved the richest and most influential men in the world.

Auf seinen Reisen um die Welt begegnet Florian Wagner immer wieder demselben historischen Phänomen: der kulturellen Prägung des Menschen durch das Pferd. Fragt man einen Araber nach seinem größten Schatz, so ist das sein Falke, sein Kamel oder sein Pferd. Den Indianern Amerikas wurde alles genommen, Kultur, Land, Identität. Die Pferde hat man ihnen gelassen. Heute pflegen sie die Traditionen des Muts und der Reitkunst, wenn sie beim Omak Suicide Race die Abhänge herunterrasen. Die Nomaden in der Mongolei leben mit ihren drahtigen Ponys, auf denen sie in den unendlichen Weiten ihrer Heimat die Adler zum Jagen tragen. In den USA erweist sich ein riskantes Projekt als soziale Sensation: Mörder, Kinderschänder und Drogendealer müssen zur Resozialisierung auf einer Ranch wilde Mustangs einreiten, die vorher mit Hubschraubern gefangen werden. Nicht selten weinen diese Männer, wenn sie "ihre" Pferde nach Abschluss des Programms abgeben müssen, weil sie zum ersten Mal in ihrem von Ge...

Verlaine was always only a human being, a weak human being, who did not even know how "to count the transgressions of his own heart." It was this very lack of individuality, however, which produced something much rarer-the purely and entirely human. Verlaine was soft clay without the power of producing impresses and without resistance. Thus every line of life crossing his destiny has left a pure relief, a clear and faithful reproduction, even to the fragrance-like sorrows of lonely seconds which in others fade away or thicken into dull grief. The tangled forces which tempestuously shook his life and tore it to tatters crystallized in his work and were distilled into essences. Product details Format Paperback | 48 pages ...

The study of Enoch's words awakened the desire to explore spiritual dimensions in a deeper way. Enoch once said: "I write not for my own, but for the extreme future generations, for you human beings who will come". Enoch, the seventh of Adam's descendants describes his journey through the seven heavens, where he receives revelations like when he is described the creation of the world and the secrets of the future.

While traditional introductory textbooks in the field of international relations tend to focus on theory and history, the readings in World Politics: Money, Wealth, and Global Power highlight the significant but often ignored role of money and the pursuit of wealth in shaping global politics. Topics include the role of private banks in reconstruction after WWII, the impact of soldiers-for-hire in Africa, and the profits to be made from warfare. By exploring these and other issues, students learn that world events have never truly been driven by political, philosophical, or even religious motives. Instead, the true motivations are more likely to be trade routes, natural resources, and economic power. World Politics: Money, Wealth, and Global Power offers students a fresh perspective on international events and politics as they learn to view them through the lens of economic and financial interests and the interplay of overt and covert players. Written primarily for introductory courses ...

Frequency gives readers the tools to understand how and why their natural frequency interacts with the world around them. Because we see the world from a physical perspective, we often don't notice what's right in front of us -- that our spirit, thoughts, emotions, and body are all made of energy. Inside us and everywhere around us, life is vibrating. In fact, each of us has a personal vibration that accurately communicates who we are to the world and helps shape our reality. Frequency shows readers how to feel their personal vibration, improve it, and use it to shift their life from ordinary to extraordinary. A simple shift in frequency can change depression to peace, anger to stillness, and fear to enthusiasm. Weaving together basic ideas from quantum physics with proven intuition development techniques, Frequency takes readers into deeper concepts only hinted at in recent popular books and DVD's featuring the Law of Attraction. By learning to refine the conscious sensi...

Fortunately, we are still a nation of sceptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis's taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19. The characters you will meet in these pages are as fascinating as they are unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl's science project on transmission of an airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A local public-health officer uses her worm's-eye view to see what the CDC misses, and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting doctors, nicknamed the Wolverines, has everything necessary to fight the pandemic: brilliant backgrounds, world-class labs, prior experience with the pandemic scares of bird flu and swine flu...everything, that is, except o...

Combining the insights of many leading New Testament scholars writing on the use of social identity theory this new reference work provides a comprehensive handbook to the construction of social identity in the New Testament. Part one examines key methodological issues and the ways in which scholars have viewed and studied social identity, including different theoretical approaches, and core areas or topics which may be used in the study of social identity, such as food, social memory, and ancient media culture. Part two presents worked examples and in-depth textual studies covering core passages from each of the New Testament books, as they relate to the construction of social identity. Adopting a case-study approach, in line with sociological methods the volume builds a picture of how identity was structured in the earliest Christ-movement. Contributors include; Philip Esler, Warren Carter, Paul Middleton, Rafael Rodriquez, and Robert Brawley. Pr...

Klassiker aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, - Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Erstmalig erschienen 1926. Auszug: "Vierundzwanzig braune Sklaven ruderten die prächtige Galeere, die den Prinzen Amgiad zu dem Palast des Kalifen bringen sollte. Der Prinz aber, in seinen Purpurmantel gehüllt, lag allein auf dem Verdeck unter dem dunkelblauen, sternbesäten Nachthimmel, und sein Blick -" Bis hierher hatte die Kleine laut gelesen; jetzt, beinahe plötzlich, fielen ihr die Augen zu. Die Eltern sahen einander lächelnd an, Fridolin beugte sich zu ihr nieder, küßte sie auf das blonde Haar und klappte das Buch zu, das auf dem noch nicht abgeräumten Tische lag. Das Kind sah auf wie ertappt. "Neun Uhr", sagte der Vater, "es ist Zeit schlafen zu gehen." Und da sich nun auch Albertine zu dem Kind herabgebeugt hatte, trafen sich die Hände der Eltern auf der geliebten Stirn, und mit zärtlichem Lächeln, das n...

The Earth teems with life: in its oceans, forests, skies and cities. Yet there's a black hole at the heart of biology. We do not know why complex life is the way it is, or, for that matter, how life first began. In The Vital Question, award-winning author and biochemist Nick Lane radically reframes evolutionary history, putting forward a solution to conundrums that have puzzled generations of scientists. For two and a half billion years, from the very origins of life, single-celled organisms such as bacteria evolved without changing their basic form. Then, on just one occasion in four billion years, they made the jump to complexity. All complex life, from mushrooms to man, shares puzzling features, such as sex, which are unknown in bacteria. How and why did this radical transformation happen? The answer, Lane argues, lies in energy: all life on Earth lives off a voltage with the strength of a lightning bolt. Building on the pillars of evolutionary theory, Lane's hypothesis dra...

Where am I? What can I do here? Where can I go from here? How do I get out of here? Consciously or not, we ask such questions every day as we navigate the places and spaces of our lives. Whether we find ourselves in a museum, hospital, airport, mall, or street in an unfamiliar city, we depend on systems of visual, audible, and tactile cues not only to lead the way, but also to keep us safe. They are the fundamental questions of wayfindinga process that encompasses both the experience of choosing a path within a built environment and the set of design elements that aid in such a decision. A decade ago, the professional practice of wayfinding design simply involved devising sign systems. Today, the field is much broader and continues to expand to address technological developmentskinetic media, GPS systems, web connectivity, smart materialsas well as cultural changes in areas such as branding and environmental awareness. Similarly, a cross-disciplinary familiarity with graphic, architect...

Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter-he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she's the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian-Val's mortal enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires-and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons-one who's managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts. Product details ...
