Описание:
Old West Poems is a collection of western poems depicting the lifestyle of cowboys and their adventures in the great American West. At the end of the Civil War, Texas was literally "run-over" with wild cattle and since fences were unknown at the time, they free-ranged throughout the state. Beef cattle markets quickly opened up in the eastern United States and cattle drovers found lucrative markets for these wild cattle wherever the railroads existed. Abilene and Dodge City, Kansas, were two of the most popular destinations and from the late 1860s until the late 1880s hundreds of thousands of cattle, primarily longhorns, were driven to these railheads.
Old West Poems captures this era in poetry and many of the poems are historically accurate as to time and place. The cowboy mystique is not a shrinking phenomenon and the strength of their historical contribution to the opening of the west has not been lost. Cowboys are the subject of countless novels, works of art, scores of movies and plays, country-western music, and not the least, cowboy poetry. Old West Poems represents the romance and adventure of this era in verse.

Описание: Walker Percy (1916- 1990) considered novels the strongest tool with which to popularize great ideas among a broad audience, and, more than half a century after they first appeared in print, his works of fiction continue to fascinate contemporary readers. Despite their lasting appeal, however, Percy's engaging narratives also contain intellectual elements that demand further explication. Philosophical themes, including existentialism, language acquisition theory, and modern Catholic theology, provide a deeper layer of meaning in Percy's writings.Jessica Hooten Wilson's Reading Walker Percy's Novels serves as a companion guide for readers who enjoy Percy's novels but may be less familiar with the works of Sartre, Camus, Kierkegaard, and Dante. In addition to clarifying Percy's philosophies, Wilson highlights allusions to other writers within his narratives, addresses historical and political contexts, and provides insight into the creation and reception of The Moviegoer, The Last Gentleman, Love in the Ruins, Lancelot, The Second Coming, and The Thanatos Syndrome. An introduction covers aspects of Percy's biography that influenced his writing, including his deep southern roots, faith, and search for meaning in life. An appendix offers an explanation of Percy's satirical parody Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book.Written in an accessible and conversational style, this primer will appeal to everyone who appreciates the nuances of Walker Percy's fiction.

Описание: The U.S. has emerged as the sole superpower in the world for the foreseeable future. Despite this, there remain numerous threats to U.S. vital national interests, including developing threats that have the potential to become significant threats in the future. We propose a National Security process that looks separately at future threats, as well as existing ones. In addition, we propose a reconsideration of the National Security Council's evaluation process and its coordination of national security and foreign policy among the various departments and agencies. To illustrate the problem of focusing primarily on more current threats, we present two very different but significant threats to the future of the national interest of the U.S.: the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa and the approximately forty thousand tactical nuclear weapons of the former Soviet Union (FSU) and the fissile material both within them and in stockpiles throughout Russia. Both issues have far-reaching international implications in the next 10-20 years that could be reduced to a much lesser level of threat, if not fully eliminated, by a concerted and appropriately funded effort now. The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa is a U.S. national security threat with far reaching international implications that, if left unconstrained will develop into a depopulation crisis of the African continent of as much as a 50-80% over the next twenty year. The net effect would be reflected in the numbers of key professionals and skilled workers critical for the mining and production of minerals that are unavailable from any other part of the world, as well as 20% of all crude oil imported by the U.S. The cost of eliminating and controlling HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa over the ten years is currently estimated to be $50 billion, comparable to the Marshall Plan in 1952 that pumped the equivalent of $88 billion into Europe. A second threat we explore is the theft or diversion of former Soviet tactic
