Editura: Three Rivers Press (CA)

Anul aparitiei: 2003

The first complete, unvarnished history of Southern rock's legendary and most popular band, from its members' hardscrabble boyhoods in Jacksonville, Florida and their rise to worldwide fame to the tragic plane crash that killed the founder and the band's rise again from the ashes.In the summer of 1964 Jacksonville, Florida teenager Ronnie Van Zant and some of his friends hatched the idea of forming a band to play covers of the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Yardbirds and the country and blues-rock music they had grown to love. Naming their band after Leonard Skinner, the gym teacher at Robert E. Lee Senior High School who constantly badgered the long-haired aspiring musicians to get haircuts, they were soon playing gigs at parties, and bars throughout the South. During the next decade Lynyrd Skynyrd grew into the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful of the rock bands to emerge from the South since the Allman Brothers. Their hits "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama" became classics. Then, at the height of its popularlity in 1977, the band was struck with tragedy --a plane crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant and two other band members. Lynyrd Skynyrd: Remembering the Free ...

The Collapse of the Soviet Military

Editura: YALE UNIV PR

Anul aparitiei: 2000

One of the great surprises in modern military history is the collapse of the Soviet Armed Forces in 1991--along with the party-state with which it was inextricably intertwined. In this important book, a distinguished United States Army officer and scholar traces the rise and fall of the Soviet military, arguing that it had a far greater impact on Soviet politics and economic development than was perceived in the West. General William E. Odom asserts that Gorbachev saw that dramatically shrinking the military and the military-industrial sector of the economy was essential for fully implementing perestroika and that his efforts to do this led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Odom enhances his account with interviews with key actors in the Soviet Union before, during, and after the collapse. He describes the condition of the Soviet military during the mid-1980s and explains how it became what it was--its organizational structures, manpower policies, and military-industrial arrangements. He then moves to the dramatic events that led to its destruction, taking us to the most secret circles of Soviet policy making, as well as describing the public debates, factional struggles in ...

America's Inadvertent Empire

Editura: YALE UNIV PR

Anul aparitiei: 2005

The United States finds itself at the center of a historically unparalleled empire, one that is wealth-generating and voluntary rather than imperialistic, say the authors of this compelling book. William E. Odom and Robert Dujarric examine America's unprecedented power within the international arenas of politics, economics, demographics, education, science, and culture. They argue persuasively that the major threat to this unique empire is ineffective U.S. leadership, not a rising rival power center. America cannot simply behave as an ordinary sovereign state, Odom and Dujarric contend. They describe the responsibilities that accompany staggering power advantages and explain that resorting to unilateralism makes sense only when it becomes necessary to overcome paralysis in multilateral organizations. The authors also offer insights into the importance of liberal international institutions as a source of power, why international cooperation pays, and why spreading democracy often inhibits the spread of constitutional order. If the United States uses its own power constructively, the authors conclude, the American empire will flourish for a long time.

Jesus I Heard You Call: Book I: Journey to Jerusalem Book II: Dreams Book III: The Awakening

Editura: AUTHORHOUSE

Anul aparitiei: 2004

Christopher Andrew Dean has the uncanny ability to record words on the written page to his memory. He has more than once astounded his professors at the University of Chicago, until he meets Professor Berman. The tactless professor has no place in his European History Classes for the likes of Christopher Dean, since his student wants to discuss the impact of Jesus Christ on the world. Christopher wants to discuss how the church changed the religious history of the Holy Land. Professor Berman would have none of that for he did not believe it was true. He sends his student away from his classes when Christopher Andrew insists that Jesus Christ's influence could be seen across the European continent and Jerusalem. The Holy Land wasn't affected by Christianity according to the professor. The Muslims and the Crusaders had despoiled it. Professor Berman dismissed his student since he was unable to quiet the young man. This sent Christopher Andrew on a Journey to Jerusalem.

Phantom Words: A Stroke Victim's Loss Leads to an Amazing Gain

Editura: AUTHORHOUSE

Anul aparitiei: 2006

At that point clots bulging in my left ventricle raced toward my brain, and the more anxious I became as my heart rate climbed, the more each beat cleared the clots from my arm. That's when my world darkened and my mind escaped my body. I saw my physical being from a few feet above, standing with a friend. "I'm right here," I thought in awe, "but I'm also right over there." I was staring at the shell of myself, but I couldn't approach it. I had no physical feeling, as you would with a body. "This is it," I thought, strangely growing peaceful among the chaos that moments earlier had racked my brain. "I no longer have to wonder how I'll die." I fully knew I was dying and I wasn't shocked. A clear understanding that I teetered between life and death enveloped me. From behind, a warm blanket of serenity overwhelmed my senses, and a powerful feeling to fall back and surrender to the tranquility engulfed me. "It's OK, it's beautiful," the serenity beckoned. "Just lay down." But an overwhelming urge - knowing with all of my heart that God needed me on earth for a rebirth and a life of His service - kept me from that final, peaceful surrender. I rushed back to my body, where noise and ...

My mother, who is the only daughter of 9 brothers prepared 30 plus meals a day. Because of her fathers and mothers long time business connections, church affilitations, and a huge family base, often, this number swelled. Being able to cook tasty meals that were healthy and satisfying was a necessity and something to be expected of my mother and her mother. It wasn't until some years later while eating tea cakes, my mother stated that we really needed to publish these heirloom recipes because other people have the same memories. So, she began her collection of all time favorites as offered by her cousins, aunts, and occasional uncle. This cookbook is a starter for someone who wants to remember the smells and tastes of their home. It serves as a tribute to my mother, her mother and her mothers mothers recipes. These are our memories stretching back hundreds of years and we are sharing them with you.

The Hill

Editura: AUTHORHOUSE

Anul aparitiei: 2008

A well-meaning freshman becomes involved with campus politics to make a difference. Now in too deep, the difference he makes is not intended. -- "Does the end justify the means?" THE HILL is a highly stylized transmogrification of the western storytelling paradigm. Think MEMENTO or USUAL SUSPECTS. It's a story about power - gaining it and losing it. Meet Adam. He's all that's American - Baseball, Crackerjacks, and Apple Pie. Today is his first day as a freshman at Hillfield University. It's "Freshmen Week." Now introduce Evers. He's a Progressive, political, portly upperclassman who is far too nice to completely trust. Adam believes that Evers will introduce him to the world of campus politics; a world where Adam will learn to "do good" and serve society. But Evers knows differently. Soon Adam and Evers will ascend to the miry throngs of power, corruption, and greed - letting nothing stand in their way.
