Описание: Felix Martin awakes to what he has been waiting for all his life: for civilization to finally meet its destiny. A massive explosion in the west by what, no one knows. Multiple presumed nuclear attacks in almost every major city. An airborne zootoxic infection that has manipulated the very genetic physiology and physical characteristics of the infected. And an entire country experiencing true freedom for once in its existence. Felix navigates the ash-covered and quiet remnants of the United States, coming across friends and survivors along the way and derailing his futile attempts to find out for himself his fiancee`s disposition. To find out what happened to her. However, the universe has other plans. Gangs and false flags, the true evil of what a human being can do to another, are all distractions as he fights onward. Catching the attention of those responsible for the infection further guides him down a dark path. In his travels, he finds that what is coming is far greater than reality, ending up in Fort Monroe, Virginia, where all that remains is gathering just outside that old fort`s walls. He slowly lets himself ride that spiral as far as it goes, down into that maddening dark place only the fallen know. With secrets all about him and a new fascist remnant of the old government on the rise, he merely smears his face with a jagged grin all the while being chased by the queen of the feral and something far older than even the light. The Black Dog watches as Felix slowly loses himself when he finds out he is no longer just a man. He leaves his humanity behind because after all, monsters deserve to kill monsters. Regardless the trial or adversary, it wasn`t his world that ended.

Описание:

Labor unions remain the largest membership-based organizations in major North American cities, even after years of decline. Labor continues to play a vital role in mobilizing urban residents, shaping urban conflict, and crafting the policies and regulations that are transforming our urban spaces. As unions become more involved in the daily life of the city, they find themselves confronting the familiar dilemma of how to fold union priorities into broader campaigns that address nonunion workers and the lives of union members beyond the workplace. If we are right to believe that the future of the labor movement is an urban one, union activists and staffers, urban policymakers, elected officials, and members of the public alike will require a fuller understanding of what impels unions to become involved in urban policy issues, what dilemmas structure the choices unions make, and what impact unions have on the lives of urban residents, beyond their members.Unions and the City serves as a road map toward both a stronger labor movement and a socially just urbanism. The book presents the findings of a collaborative project in which a team of labor researchers and labor geographers based in New York City and Toronto investigated how and why labor unions were becoming more involved in urban regulation and urban planning. The contributors assess the effectiveness of this involvement in terms of labor goals—such as protecting employment levels, retaining bargaining relationships with employers, and organizing new workforces—as well as broader social consequences of union strategies, such as expanding access to public services, improving employment equity, and making neighborhoods more affordable. Focusing on four key economic sectors (film, hospitality, green energy, and child care), this book reveals that unions can exert a surprising level of influence in various aspects of urban policymaking and that they can have a significant impact on how cities are changing and on the experiences of urban residents.

Описание: Massive Retaliation: New Novel Pits USA against China for World Domination; as Caribbean Island Becomes Playground for Fusion of Fact & Fiction. Masterfully crafted by Ian D. MacDonald, 'Massive Retaliation' takes the age-old battle for domination between the United State and China to a chilling new level. Fusing razor-sharp fiction with a premise that is grounded firmly in reality, the novel depicts China's direct violation of 1823's Monroe Doctrine as they attempt to set up a military base on the Caribbean island of St. Matts. A U.S. Government employee with family on the island is sent to investigate, as readers become acutely aware of the continuing threat of nuclear warfare. While the United States claims to be the most powerful nation on Earth, China openly brands itself with the same prestige. This battle for world domination is by no means new, but a powerful and thought-provoking novel by Ian D. MacDonald makes it all the more vivid as the confrontation becomes militarized. 'Massive Retaliation' capitalizes on the author's deep and passionate knowledge for the Caribbean. The narrative depicts China's attempts to lease a former British military base on the island of St. Matts, putting itself in direct violation of the real-world 1823 Monroe Doctrine. Nagasaki could quickly become the United States second-to-last nuclear bomb drop... Synopsis: Dr. Rob Lyons, a State Department analyst, in the year 2020 is quietly sent to the Caribbean island of Saint Matts. He has been tasked with investigating why, at this time, the People's Republic of China are daring to lease a long abandoned British naval base from the government of that island. No foreign government has dared intrude into America's private Caribbean preserve in 200 years. What has suddenly made the Chinese so brave. Will the island's disloyalty to the United States be punished with nuclear obliteration - as one senator is demanding? Could this intrusion lead to a nuclear confrontation between China and the United States? Equipped with the latest, top secret, monitoring and weapon technology, assisted by the woman he loves, Barbara Wall, a beautiful T.V. journalist, Rob Lyons enters into a hostile, dangerous environment where violence, greed, betrayal and corruption test his physical and moral strength. While fiction, this novel really does cross over into the real world," explains MacDonald. "From China's investment in the Caribbean to drone submarines, the distance between the nation and the United States could begin to shrink at any time. Pushing the United States to the edge could be easy, with catastrophic results. Above all, I want readers to realize that nuclear warfare is still very much an option. It's scary to say the least." Continuing, "One thing I am passionate about is writing from authority. I have a very close personal connection to the Caribbean and have become acutely aware of the corrupt 'system' that exists in the region. Of course, Washington isn't squeaky clean either; readers can now experience what happens when these power struggles clash and military action could be the only option." To date, the book has attracted critical acclaim. Dr. J. Turner comments, "...one should write about what one knows. Mr. MacDonald has an intimate knowledge of the Caribbean Islands and also has extensive business expertise and a thorough knowledge of politics. So he has honed these skills to produce a riveting first novel...," Allan Swartz adds, "... a wildly entertaining political thriller, pitting the United States against China for world domination. At the heart of this fast-paced story is the island of Saint Matts in the Caribbean. This novel grabbed my attention from the start to finish. A very imaginative story with excellent character development. Much of the book is written tongue-in-cheek, which provides for some comedic moments in the midst of potential disaster."
