Описание:
I've always been fascinated by North Korea and always knew that if I had the opportunity to visit some day, I'd be all over it. Little did I know that many years later, I'd be standing at my hotel window in the border town of Dandong, China, staring at the darkness that laid across the Yalu River. I was a stone throw away from the most mysterious and unpredictable country on the planet: North Korea.
"They have hockey in North Korea?" many asked.
They sure do.
The North Koreans have a saying: "The first time you visit North Korea, you are a stranger. The second time, you are a friend. The third time, you're family." Little did I think that two weeks after setting foot in the DPRK for the first time, I'd be returning home leaving behind a group of hockey players, men and women, that I already considered as friends, people that I dearly care for, people that I've shed tears over.
Here are some of my stories about spending time with local Koreans, the real people, the forgotten ones. This is about the North Korea no one talks about and its resilient, humble, shy and down to earth athletes who love and play the same game as you and me, but in some of the most difficult conditions imaginable. This is about a group of young men and women who deserve your compassion because just like you and I, they have friends, families and want to live their lives to the fullest. Just like you and I, they have dreams, goals, and are always looking to improve their lives. But unlike us, the entire world seems against them.
They furiously play a game that is so pure and raw at the same time, without any foreign influence. They play a game that fascinates me, a game that makes me want to do more. With barely any knowledge of the modern game, what the North Koreans lack in knowledge and abilities, they try to make up with discipline and heart.
This is about the North Korea you never knew existed, and about its people who make you appreciate your way of life so much more than you ever have.
The remarkable story from a 26 year old Captain in the U.S. Army Air Corps, piloting B-29s during the final stages of WWII in the Pacific Theatre.
Beginning on Thanksgiving Day 1944, B-29 fire bomb raids began on Japan from Saipan in the Mariana Islands. Receiving a Distinguished Flying Cross for piloting the largest planes used in during WWII, his last mission was August 6th, 1945 -- the day of Hiroshima -- the same day he was forced to ditch his aircraft into the sea.

Описание:
The American Congress: A Reference Handbook covers Congress from its inception to the present day, discussing the constitutional functions of Congress and how they have evolved over time. It presents a detailed discussion of 15 problems with which Congress copes, some associated concerns with those problems, and how they might be resolved.
The book opens with a brief history of Congress and how it has changed over time. It discusses a series of problems and concerns, and proposed solutions to those problems. It also comprises nine original essays by other scholars and persons involved in congressional politics as well as profiles of the major organizations and actors involved. Data and documents and a detailed chronology of Congress from 1789 to 2018 allow readers to situate significant legislation within the history of Congress, while an annotated list of sources--the major books and scholarly journals concerned with Congress in addition to a number of feature-length films and videos--provide readers with vetted resources for further study.

Описание:
Pioneer life was tough. If your stagecoach wasn't getting held up by outlaws, chances are you were suffering from dysentery along the Oregon Trail. If you weren't toughing it through a drought, you might be enduring a hard flood. And, if the wolves and the mountain lions didn't get your livestock, chances are the Sabretooth Tigers and Sarkastodons would. Wait, did you just say Sabretooth Tigers and Sarkastodons...as in prehistoric megafauna?
That's right, remnant dinosaurs weren't the only cryptids that supposedly made it into the Nineteenth Century. Along with the surviving saurians came giant prehistoric armadillos, mastodons, cave bears, and a bevy of other prehistoric monsters. Pioneer newspapers were rife with reports of livestock being killed by mysterious, brutal beasts that defied description, and some of the creatures were simply too big to be anything living at that time and instead seemed like holdovers from the last Ice Age.
In the pages ahead you'll ask yourself: Did a Wild West showman named "Idaho Bill" really capture a saber-toothed tiger in Mexico and bring it to Washington, D.C.? What was the creature that people described as a cross between a dinosaur and a prairie dog in Nemaha County, Nebraska? Does Bear Lake, Utah, harbor a giant prehistoric beaver? Did the Duke of Westminster really hunt for a Ceratosaurus in the Arctic Circle? And finally, is there a real "land that time forgot" hidden within the caldera of an extinct volcano in the North Pole?

Описание:
Long before the first airplane took flight, when nothing but birds should have been in the skies, the early residents of the United States witnessed bizarre unidentified flying objects of all sizes, shapes, and descriptions. They encountered strange beings that clearly were not human, including "Men in Black" and possibly time travelers. They saw huge motherships, underwater UFOs, and other unexplained wonders. Some of America's most famous early historical figures, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and George Washington, shared an interest in UFOs and extraterrestrials. Contained within these pages is the "other" American History that you were never taught in school
