Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is a sharp analysis of Germany's old and new strategies. It explains in great detail why Germany suddenly drifted to the right wing and even gave up its postwar modest foreign policy in order to join the bellecists fraction. The book also reveals hidden agendas and lays open the deep crisis Germany is in since the Social Democratic-Green government of Gerhard Schröder has assumed power, relying on neo-liberal economic, social and cultural reforms while on the horizon a new charismatic rightist leader is flexing his muscles. 'We might not know his name yet, but it is certain that he will steal power once the red-green coalition has crashed against the concrete wall,' says the author, Ralph T. Niemeyer, who is known for provoking controversies as he criticizes his country's course from a liberal but so far unheard viewpoint. This book is a must for anyone who wants to understand Germany's ambitions.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Two Stars for Peace makes a compelling case for merging Israel and Palestine into the United States. Dozens of possible objections are addressed using clear logic, historical precedent, and current statistics. This bold new strategy is also shown to be essential to removing the kindling wood of terrorism from Middle East politics.Two Stars for Peace is the natural successor to The Jewish State, Theodore Herzl's hundred-year old booklet that created Zionism. Author Martine Rothblatt persuasively demonstrates that 'two-state' solutions, such as the current Middle East Roadmap, are doomed to failure, as is unbridled Zionism. However, there is a 'two-star' solution that is consistent with the true spirit of Zionism, as well as with complete satisfaction of Palestinian aspirations. America is asked to rise to one of its greatest challenges by welcoming Two Stars for Peace.

Learn how goats secretly yearn for the mountains of their ancestors and happily leap onto the hood of a car to illustrate that point. Follow Chapman around for a day and discover that it's hard to get out of shape when caring for horses--if lugging what has to go in one end (massive buckets of water, sixty-pound bales of hay, and fifty-pound bags of grain) doesn't keep a waistline trim, shoveling up piles of what comes out the other end will.Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a hay bale, and enjoy Chapman's unconventional collection of earthy, hilarious, but always heart-warming and timeless reminiscences.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Epistola II begins with a continuation of romantic verses regarding the art and struggles of love while probing into the darker side of unfulfilled passion. Quillan's longtime interest in Native American culture is reflected within the Epistola series by the experimental use of Tsalagi (Cherokee), beautifully employing the language to accent thoughts and emotions.A love affair with a city, poetry of the 1950s/1960s, and his Protestant background also inspired portions of Epistola II. Quillan does not claim to be a theologian, but merely a spiritual wanderer seeking his genesis while airing his religious laundry along the way.The poet continues to divagate on various tangents of concerns and contemplations, and eventually concludes with a 13-piece collection regarding libertine issues according to his interpretation of early American documents, essays, and orations. Quillan's command of the English language enables him to create with ink and paper vivid emotions and colorful passion. Epistola II is not fast food; this is epicurean cuisine for the mind and soul.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - She was trapped! Her sister Kara was screaming uncontrollably through her bloody toothless mouth. Both her legs were twisted, outward the wrong way, straddling the hump on the floorboard. Her brother, Tommie, had no face only a sheet of thick, red, blood where his face should have been. Mother's eyes were closed with her body slouched down, the steering wheel, embedded in her stomach. Jade suddenly heard a gurgling sound coming from the seat in front of her. She turned her attention to the seat in front of her, where the gurgling sound was coming from. It was Lyla, her grandmother. She was crumpled downward in the floorboard in the passenger side of the front seat. Thank God! She was faced downward! The passenger window in front of her was shattered. There were trances of blood on the outer edges of the hole in the windshield. Jade's mind was spinning out of control with one single thought. 'She is dead! She is dead!' She cringed and closed her eyes. She turned toward the car window not wanting to see anymore. 'Please, please, I don't want to be here anymore!' She thought in desperation. As she shut her eyes, the nightmare that seemed real began to slip away. It was just another flashback nightmare. This one was more terrifying than the reoccurring nightmare she had experienced when she was six. The one where she would wake only to be blinded by the gyrating, white, circles of light she couldn't escape. couldn't see past. Would her nightmares ever end.
