Описание:
America is more politically divided than it has been at any time since the civil war, and each side is, by any standard of behavior which we teach our children, behaving badly. The problem is, our children are watching. This book is written as a fable for modern America to offer some explanation to our children, and possibly a lesson to our parents, media, and politicians on what's wrong with how we're all behaving. We're sending our children mixed messages about what constitutes appropriate social behavior. Is bullying permissible? Is it admirable? Is it okay to misrepresent the facts if it suits our own political objectives? Unfortunately, the answer to all of these questions is no. And that is what our children have been taught their whole lives, but it is not what they are seeing on their televisions or on the streets of our country today. This results in stress, distrust, and confusion on their parts. That's what Terrence and the Toilet Fairy tries to address.
Terrence is an unfortunate third grader whose mother has died and is facing his first summer without her, he is also being tormented by a bellicose neighborhood bully, C.B. who aims to make his life miserable. Terrence asks his father (a plumber) to tell him a story before bed one night and his father relays to him the story of the Toilet Fairies and how they came to be. Terrence becomes obsessed with capturing a toilet fairy, and does, he captures Veb, a not very brave, not very magical fairy who has a bad tendency to make matters worse, but who is also a pacifist at heart. Terrence (with the help of Veb) and C. B. swap offensives each getting progressively more dangerous and violent, until in the final conflict Veb refuses to participate and Terrence carries out his ultimate plan for revenge that ends up with both himself and C.B. in a dangerous and individually inescapable trap. They are forced to cooperate to survive.
Terrence and the Toilet Fairy was originally a screenplay written by Jackson Anderson, Kevin Ivey, and Russell Scott Anderson, it was written several years ago and envisioned Jack Black in the role of the Toilet Fairy, It made it to Black's Black & White Productions, but was unable to meet the funding level that they required for participation as the banking crisis intervened and the hedge funds that had committed to the project disappeared. So it sat. In the wake of our country's most recent election cycle Anderson saw it as a story that applied to America now more than ever. He set about converting the screenplay into a novella, and in the process created a new American folklore.

Описание: The First World War demanded revolutionary technology to break the vicious stalemate in which the armies of Europe found themselves as soon as static warfare became established. In the critical world of military intelligence, aviation assumed a vital role through aerial reconnaissance in reinforcing successful decision-making. The demands of warfare not only spurred aviation's development, it led to technological advances in aerial photography, radio intercepts, acoustics and optics that became the foundation for intelligence throughout the twentieth century and to the present day.
Colonel Terry Finnegan's Shooting the Front reviews the entire evolution of Allied aerial photography and photographic interpretation during the Great War, in a text packed with data and based upon meticulous research in archives worldwide. The photographs included are both informative and spectacular, charting perforce the early years of aviation itself. Shooting the Front shows not only how important aerial reconnaissance was to the war effort, but also how it became the foundation for modern-day exploitation of imagery and geospatial intelligence used to guide today's decision makers on global issues, and shaped intelligence work for generations to come.

Описание: This collection of sixteen short stories is set in Egg Rock, a fictional town north of Boston. They are written in approximate chronological order spanning hundreds of years and are linked not only by the setting but by the reappearance of characters, their ancestors, and descendants. Many are loosely based on local North Shore legends and historical events. Ragnhild is an adviser to Thorvald Eiriksson, son of Erik the Red and brother of Leif, on his voyages to Vinland. He describes their discovery of an idyllic almost island during Thorvalds last days. Ezra Newhall is a jack-of-all-trades who works at Egg Rocks sprawling, jerry-built hotel, called The Castle. On the eve of the Civil War the Castle owners son returns home with a secret that is about to be revealed. Priscilla, a writer seeking peace and quiet in a secluded Egg Rock cottage during World War II, gets swept up by the war in a way she could never anticipate. Mayland, a TV weatherman, and his wife barely survive a devastating fire, the work of an arsonist with a hundred-year grudge. In Forty Steps and Other Stories the reader discovers a unique place that leaves its imprint, for better or for worse, on all who call it home.
