Описание: In the dark days of the Spanish Inquisition, such a claim to blessedness has serious consequences, especially when Catalina seems more inclined to obey her heart than the demands of the Church. The last of Maugham`s novels, Catalina is a romantic celebration of Spain and a delightfully mischievous satire on absolutism.
In 1988, Sandi and Larry Zobrest sued a suburban Tucson, Arizona, school district that had denied their hearing-impaired son a taxpayer-funded interpreter in his Roman Catholic high school. The Catalina Foothills School District argued that providing a public resource for a private, religious school created an unlawful crossover between church and state. The Zobrests, however, claimed that the district had infringed on both their First Amendment right to freedom of religion and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Bruce J. Dierenfield and David A. Gerber use the Zobrests' story to examine the complex history and jurisprudence of disability accommodation and educational mainstreaming. They look at the family's effort to acquire educational resources for their son starting in early childhood and the choices the Zobrests made to prepare him for life in the hearing world rather than the deaf community. Dierenfield and Gerber also analyze the thorny church-state issues and legal controversies that informed the case, its journey to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the impact of the high court's ruling on the course of disability accommodation and religious liberty.

Описание: One of the most widely-used multi-role Allied aircraft of WWII, Consolidated's PBY Catalina was a flying boat to be reckoned with. They were used as anti- submarine warfare platforms in the Atlantic, and gained notoriety in the Pacific as rescue and reconnaissance platforms, and as bombers. With their distinctive fuselages painted the shade of midnight, the "Black Cats" undertook daring raids of Japanese shipping and shore installations. Originally printed by the U.S. Navy during World War 2, this flight handbook taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Classified "Restricted", the manual was recently declassified and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been slightly reformatted. Care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.

Описание: The Judge arrived at the Club dock in time to see a very inebriated Harvey White step off the float, miss his dingy, and disappear with a plop into the dark water. Harvey breached the surface immediately like a small skinny whale, hissing, gasping and snorting for help. None-too-steady hands were there to haul him out. It was a messy job given the sobriety of the help and the added challenge of the soggy tux. In the end Harvey was more or less dragged up and on to the float on his belly, protesting all the way. He was loaded aboard his dinghy and shoved off with well wishes in the general direction of his boat and Marion. He would not be part of the hastily assembled search squadron. The Club was known to be a party club and such things happened. It would have been amusing if the evening had not turned so serious. The Judge hoped the crew theyd pulled together to search the harbor would be up to the task. Bruce Wright dropped into the Judges dingy beside him, on the theory that four eyes were better than two, and also a precaution in light of Harvey Whites surprise dunk. Backup. They set off to the left on a clockwise sweep of their end of the harbor, another boat going counter-clockwise, and a third striking out into the middle of the fleet. The water, dark and murky before, now came alive here and there from the rays of the moon in full show above. It shot streaks of silver across the harbor and the sea beyond. Boaters returned from late dinners ashore and began to start generators and turn on cabin and spreader lights. These bathed the tide-swept harbor around their boats in an eerie half-light, artificial and cold. After 20 minutes the Judge and Bruce had made two circles of the fleet, run into the other two search boats three times, and everyone had come up dry. So far the three boat crews had stayed dry too, despite a flask liberally passed between the other two boats. On further reflection, none of them were dry, mused the Judge. He was normally a stickler for no alcohol while in command of a boat, however small. Bruce rarely drank except at parties. But between them theyd put away a considerable liquor locker of booze at the Casino Ball, as had the other boat crews. The Judge had decided to ignore this since there was really no one else available to look for Daisy across the harbor except for the solitary Harbor Patrol boat. The Harbor Patrol boat was sweeping the outer anchorage in front of Descanso Beach. They had constant radio contact. So far no luck there either. No Daisy. No Dinghy. No "Martys sons". The Judge suggested they expand their search to the south, along Lovers Cove and perhaps a bit beyond, toward Pebbly Beach. Bruce concurred. The Judge pointed his dingy in that direction while Bruce radioed in their plan. It was close to 11:00, but the lights of the town were still ablaze along the water. Rays of red and blue and purple from the shop signs danced on the top of the small waves as the tide swept in. Music wafted from several bars, and small knots of tourists, some with fringe ringed straw hats from Luau Larrys, meandered here and there along the boardwalk. These holiday weekenders were determined to party hearty. Lovers Cove was empty except for fish, several of whom scooted under the boat, attracted by Bruces portable light casting long beams around the Cove. No dinghy. No Daisy. No sons. Leaving the Cove they headed further south along the coast line. The lights of the town disappeared behind them. The water and the night here were both black. Punctuated only by the rays from the moon and the white wake they left behind. The wake rapidly folded back into the black without a trace. There was a light breeze sweeping in from across the channel. It chilled the Judge. It was that kind of night. They skimmed the water about 40 feet off Pebbly Beach, just outside the line of small soft breakers, Bruce shining his light alternately along the rocky be

Описание:
The Mariner and the Monk tells the story of Captain Leonard La Rue, a brave officer in the Merchant Marine, a Benedictine monk, and the reason tens of thousands of Koreans are alive today and live in freedom.
Leonard Panet La Rue was born and educated in Philadelphia, PA, and joined the Merchant Marine during the height of the Depression. La Rue served on ships through the late 1930s, then joined his Merchant Marine colleagues in convoy duty across the Atlantic, including the deadly "Murmansk Run" carrying supplies to the Soviet Union. During the war he crossed the Atlantic and Pacific multiple times, carrying cargo and soldiers for the war effort. He completed the war in command of his own ship, the SS Whittier Victory, and sailed throughout the Caribbean and South America from US ports.
When the Korean War broke out in June 1950, La Rue took command of the SS Meredith Victory and led her to Japan and then Korea to participate in the historic landing at Inchon. But two months later, La Rue and his crew themselves made history when the Meredith Victory carried more than 14,000 Korean civilians to freedom from the embattled port of Hungnam before its capture by the enemy. Among his refugee passengers were the parents of the current president of South Korea, Moon Jae-In.
La Rue and his crew were celebrated for the rescue. La Rue received many awards, including the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Meredith Victory was officially designated a "Gallant Ship." But at the height of his career, he left the Merchant Marine and entered a Benedictine monastery far from the sea. For the next four decades he lived a quiet life of prayer and service, never missing the adventures he had lived during twenty years at sea.
The Mariner and the Monk details La Rue's life in the context of the ships he sailed and the battles he survived. The reader sails with him through storms, around attacking U-boats and floating mines, and under Luftwaffe bombers. The book explains the reasons for the historic evacuation, including the epic battle of the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry at the Chosin Reservoir. with narrative and dozens of photographs, many never before in print, the reader learns the amazing details that guaranteed the evacuation would be successful for the 100,000 soldiers and Marines and the 100,000 refuges who were safely loaded and transported while the port of Hungnam was surrounded by multiple divisions of the Chinese Army.
After a full life and quiet death, the testimony of La Rue's bravery and humanity, and the humble virtue with which he lived his life, have led to Brother Marinus La Rue, OSB, being named a "Servant of God," the first step on a path to a declaration of sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church.
Leonard La Rue, Brother Marinus, was one of the greatest of the "Greatest Generation."
"Lively and well researched." Joshua Smith, Director of the American Merchant Marine Museum
