Описание:

Young and na ve, happily in love with the girl of his dreams, Todd is drafted into the U.S. Army just days before his twentieth birthday, December of 1967. Though being in the military had been the last thing on his mind, he was determined to make the best of the situation.

Within weeks of his arrival in Vietnam, the reality of the horrors of war hit him like a hard punch in the gut, as he witnesses a violent death for the first time. War is ugly, cruel, heart-wrenching. No amount of training can prepare a soldier for what Todd had witnessed. And it wouldnt be the last time.

As a 101st Airborne grunt, Todd spends a tumultuous year adapting to the elements of the jungles and rice paddies, going on helicopter assaults, daily patrols, and nighttime ambushes. The objective was to find the enemy and engage them in combat.

Todds year becomes one of daily survival against the ever-present enemy, friendly fire and freak accidents.

In reading Todds story, youll get acquainted with many of his closest comrades through dialogue, some of which is peppered with raw humor, typical of young soldiers of the era. Bonds and fast friendships are made and lost within the year.

During the bleakest of times, the one constant is his undying faith in God and his desire to go home to his new bride, whom he married just weeks before his deployment.

Declassified after-action reports, which documented some of the battles his company participated in are included here, along with redacted letters that Todd had written home to his wife, depicting the day to day struggles of a lonely soldier.

Some things had changed during his year in Nam. Society changed. He had changed.

Описание:

In late medieval and early modern Europe, definitions of blood in medical writing were slippery and changeable: blood was at once the red fluid in human veins, a humor, a substance governing crucial Galenic models of bodily change, a waste product, a cause of corruption, a source of life, a medical cure, a serum appearing under the guise of all other bodily secretions, and—after William Harvey's discovery of its circulation—the cause of one of the greatest medical controversies of the premodern period. Figurative uses of "blood" are even more difficult to pin down. The term appeared in almost every sphere of life and thought, running through political, theological, and familial discourses.
Blood Matters explores blood as a distinct category of inquiry and draws together scholars who might not otherwise be in conversation. Theatrical and medical practice are found to converge in their approaches to the regulation of blood as a source of identity and truth; medieval civic life intersects with seventeenth-century science and philosophy; the concepts of class, race, gender, and sexuality find in the language of blood as many mechanisms for differentiation as for homogeneity; and fields as disparate as pedagogical theory, alchemy, phlebotomy, wet-nursing, and wine production emerge as historically and intellectually analogous. The volume's essays are organized within categories derived from medieval and early modern understanding of blood behaviors—Circulation, Wounds, Corruption, Proof, and Signs and Substances—thereby providing the terms through which interdisciplinary and cross-period conversations can take place.

Fun to read any time, this book lends itself well to snuggling and sweet conversation for parent and child at bedtime.

Описание:

Tapping into The Total Power of The Universe describes in a step by step fashion how a craft and its crew members can immediately enter any place on Earth or in the universe. Using color photos, taken from one of many experiments conducted by the author, the book carefully explains how a specially designed craft can be converted to a "confined energy form" or "light form", while gravity, time and distance are eliminated.

Once this occurs, the author goes on to explain, one can then visualize the universe below the craft as a giant football stadium with numerous seats, but in this case, each seat represents a galaxy or solar system. Because the craft has become a confined energy form or non-mass, it has exited a part of our universe that is made up of condensed matter forms, we call planets and stars. Because time, gravity, distance and mass have been eliminated, the craft and its crew have become a non-conformant to all known universal laws and can make up its own laws as desired by the crew members.

As a result, the crew can "tune-in' and reenter any place and time period on Earth or in the universe, taking up any seat they want. It would be similar to turning a knob on your car radio and tuning into a preferred radio station. As you read this book, it will become evident how this can be accomplished.
