Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Africa and the African Diaspora is the outcome of a symposium held at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon (February 2002), entitled 'Symposium on Freedom in Black History,' designed to celebrate Black History Month. The major themes of the conference were how Africans both at home on the continent and dispersed abroad, often by forces beyond their control, reacted to oppression and subjugation in seeking freedom from slavery, colonialism, and discrimination. The volume documents the many forms that oppression has taken, the many forms that resistance has taken, and the cultural developments that have allowed Africans to adapt to the new and changing economic, social and environmental conditions to win back their freedom. Oppressive strategies as divide-and-rule could be based on any one of a number of features, such as skin color, place of origin, culture, or social or economic status. People drawn into the vortex of the Atlantic trade and funneled into the sugar fields, the swampy rice lands or the cotton, coffee or tobacco plantations of the new world and elsewhere, had no alternative but to risk their lives for freedom. The plantation provided the context for the dehumanization of disadvantaged groups subjected to exhausting work, frequent punishment and personal injustice of every kind, This book demonstrates that the history and interpretation of these struggles of the oppressed peoples to free themselves have not received proportionate attention and analysis, as have other aspects of that history. For example, although Maroon societies or 'runaways', formed colonies of core communities that fought won and preserved freedom in the New World and became the symbol of a special type of nationalism they have never been fully depicted as such in that role in World History and culture. In the discussion of freedom and the activities accompanying it in historical times, we often overlook the minor currents that accompany its attainment either at its initi.…

At about this time an alluring bank teller pursues him and begins a romantic affair.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Lindar were once like Humans, bold pilgrims who explored and settled many star systems and befriended other less advanced species. Then came The Enemy, a fanatically hostile race who tried to exterminate the Lindar as they had every other potential rival. The Lindar barely escaped extinction by remaking themselves into extraordinary soldiers. But victory came at great cost to their collective conscience. They patrol the stars more cautiously now, ever on guard. And then came Humans. On a distant planet, greedy Humans steal land and resources from the natives, a shameful echo of old Earth history. But these natives have a big brother who suspect the Humans may be a New Enemy. The Lindar commander, a brilliant but eccentric creature, and Major Gordon, a Human captive with many secrets to protect, try to comprehend each other and prevent an all-out war of annihilation. The alien commander tests his Human prisoners, in ways that seem bizarre and possibly insane. In the end, Gordon determines that the alien was playing a deeper game, in which dealing with 'the Human problem' was but one part. And looming over all is the fear that The Enemy may return.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The future of the valley of the upper Allegheny River was predetermined in the 1930s with talks of flood control. As time drew nearer for construction of Kinzua Dam, even the last protesters conceded their world was doomed. It was not the end of the world, but it was the end of their world, their way of life--for how can you infuse hope into the spirit of man when all is ordained to be taken from him To those who intimately knew these times, perhaps the valleys are better known by what is gone than by what remains today. True, the past cannot be captured, but we may forever ponder the times lost--villages abandoned; farms without green fields; trees cleared and burned, as the fires set by the Corps rid the valleys and remote hamlets of the residue of human life.For centuries the Allegheny hills acted as stewards guarding, perhaps falsely, the destiny of the inhabitants. Kinzua Dam held back the Allegheny River as everyone and everything previously known vanished beneath it. As some witnessed the extinction of a valley, others marveled at the engineering of a great dam--for as Cornplanter discerned--upon the eternal scroll, time writes the passing.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The names used in this story have been chosen by the author as a description of each person or place involved. It may take some readers a little time to accept the names, but after they have accepted them, they will find the story extremely enjoyable and very interesting.This is the story of two kings who lived in a territory called Kingsland.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Eddie speaks is a man who has been able to find the spiritual key to simplicity. Finding a way to express the most profound areas of religion in a clear and concise manner for all to understand. The purpose for this book is to open the eyes of every person that wants to see the truth for what it is and have the ability to shun that which is not truth. He says that religion has been taken to another level and that level is in no way considered a healthy experience for the newly converted Christian; who reads how to practice Christianity one way in the bible, but is forced to experience it in a totally different way in life. He believes it can be a bad thing not to agree with the majority. Even though the majority in many cases is wrong, because of their number they go unquestioned. No one wants to break away and stand on their own for what they know is true until it becomes undoubtedly clear that a stand must be taken. The sad thing is, we're all gambling with time and Christ is on a strict schedule and He's only coming once.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book straps the reader into the cockpit with an attack helicopter pioneer as he recalls three years of Vietnam combat and a quarter century of flying Army aircraft. He arrived in Vietnam in 1964 and volunteered to join the world's first attack helicopter company. The Utility Tactical Transport Helicopter Company (UTT) had deployed to Vietnam in 1962. It came equipped with the U.S. Army's brand new UH-1 Huey, a helicopter originally designed as an aerial ambulance. The crews, not happy with a passive combat role, began experimenting with ways to strap guns on their aircraft and attack the enemy. Through a deadly process of trial and error the pilots pushed their machines to the edge. Mistakes were made, crews were lost and lessons were learned. These lessons evolved into combat tactics and became fondly known as the 12 Cardinal Rules of Attack Helicopter Combat. Upon joining the unit the author learned about the rules. He studied them and on his first day in combat, developed his own 13th rule. Over his ensuing three years in Vietnam, the rules, especially the 13th, helped him survive over one thousand combat missions. This book provides the reader with a cockpit level view of dozens of those missions and describes several additional near disaster situations encountered by the author during over 25 years flying Army Aircraft. The author is successful in striking a balance between the grim realities of combat and the often humorous aspects of life among a group of high spirited aviators who fly into the jaws of death daily without a parachute on their back. He suggests that the 13 rules, although developed during a different war and at a different time, are applicable to armed helicopter combat operations in the 21st Century. The book contains about 200 pages and is nicely illustrated with 50 photographs.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'There are probably thousands of books written by Jews and about Jews. Jewish novelists and historians are overrepresented in the world of literature. They have written on virtually every subject in the itinerary of the knowledge of Man: even in the field of the military.But literature of Jews in the military are in woefully short supply. The Holocaust is well documented. There are dozens of books and documentaries on this subject.But other than Holocaust literature, Jews in the armed forces of our country (and those of others) are rarely described. One would think that professional writers, historians, or researchers might have filled this gap. Butonly a few have taken on this most important task. Jewish-Americans have defended our country since the inception of the Republic, fighting, in some cases, in respectable numbers, in all of our conflicts. Not a few individuals have emerged as true heroes of the nation.OZ - Chronicles of Courage (as well as my other three books) attempts to correct this slight to our recognition and represents a frail effort to set the record straight In the book, untold stories of bravery and sacrifice are related of heroes of various conflicts, highlighting some that have been awarded our country''s decorations for heroism beyond that expected of all our fighting personnel. They deserve recognition. In OZ - Chronicles of Courage, I try to explain why.The last section is devoted to our personnel now fighting (or have retirned) in Iraq and Afghanistan. Conventional wisdom seems to convey the impression that Jews are not at all involved. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although numbers are impossible to ascertain, it is clear that Jewish-Americans have fought - and died - in the conflict, and not a few have emerged with honor and recognition.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The unique world of the Amazon Jungle is full of mystery, intrigue, and danger. It is one of the last remaining regions where natural populations of rare and endangered plants, animals, and people can still be found. In 1976, Sophia Alexandra Winslow, a thirty-five year old New York socialite survived a plane crash in the Brazilian Jungle that landed her into the Stone Age, and a hundred light years from civilization. Near death, a tribe of nomadic Indians rescued and cared for the strange looking woman that fell from the sky. After two failed attempts to escape, Sophia became even more of an outsider until the medicine man, who felt a spiritual connection to the white woman, became her mentor, her father, and her best friend. Surviving bouts of illnesses, periods of depression, and years of loneliness, Sophia adopted three Indian children, and was forced to commit murder in order to protect her daughter. After years of trying to prove her worthiness, she became a vital member of the Yanomama Tribe, an outstanding teacher, and a courageous healer. Just when she thought life held no more surprises, Sophia fell in love with a white man who was lost in the jungle.

This is a story of a woman's courage and determination to survive. A woman whose bravery, love and strength touched so many lives that she became a living legend and the first female Shaman in the history of the Amazons.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Family, say it slowly with me, family. It's a word and a half word. It rolls off of the tongue easily, yet leaves an after-taste that is both sweet and bitter. It is the common denominator that defines us. We all have one. We're all linked by birth to at least two others. We spend our lives running to and running from the safety or confines of this uniquely social phenomenon. We live and die for those to whom we are connected within this format. No one is excluded from this formula, not even in death, as we are all related within this family of man. Meet Tina Lopez who learns early in her young life how large a family can become when there is much to offer, when there are gifts to share. How do you stay humble when you have what no other has Then Ethan Kelly who will journey far to discover what he has always known. And KC Littleton who proofs the old adage, 'be careful what you wish for.' The path they take on their way into one another's lives is almost too fantastic for fiction, but then remember, I said almost. From one coast to the other, to the far side of the globe, the experiences chronicled within these pages will tug hard at your heartstrings. You may come away from this story with a new appreciation for the three 'F's,' faith, forgiveness, and family. In the end, I hope that you feel compelled to pick up the phone and call someone near and dear, just to say you were thinking of them. Share a quiet, or not so quiet moment. Talk to mom or dad, brother or sister, son or daughter, reconnect, re-enforce, and reassure. The things that we collect in life can be bought or sold. It's the people in our lives who are the treasures kept safely stored in our heart of hearts.family.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - If you are trying to decide whether to read this book or not, let me acquaint you with the HONEST MAN''S PHILOSOPHY. I have taken great pains to make each sentence readable and understandable. This is a new concept when writing about detailed problems of philosophy, theology, or religion. It is easy to read and easy to understand. You can become your own real philosopher! Not only will you be able to understand what is written here, you will be amazed, delighted, and challenged by this philosophy. Philosophy is certainly the most important aspect of life and living. One's philosophy is what determines his happiness (or lack there of). One's philosophy determines what food he eats, how he votes, whom he marries, what friends he selects, what work he engages in and above all, how he thinks and evaluates people and the events of life. In other words, nothing is more important in the life of the individual (or the life of a nation) than the philosophy chosen to guide one's thinking and activity. There are three qualifications you need before you buy or read this book. You must be 'Curious,' 'Willing to think' and 'Willing to be honest with yourself.' If you believe you know all of the questions and all of the answers, this book may not be for you. To these three, add a forth, 'Courage.' This book is not intended for the dishonest, or for moral cowards. The HONEST MAN''S PHILOSOPHY is a clear, concise, and complete statement of this philosophy and what it can do for you. It is not new. In fact, it is the oldest, most moral philosophy known to mankind. Every time in the past history of mankind, when this philosophy has been the guiding principle of any group, wonderful things have happened. Among other things, this philosophy is responsible for the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the founding of this nation as a Free Republic. The author calls this philosophy, 'Clear Thinking.' There are other names for it i. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Once upon a time in Raleigh, North Carolina, there lived a geeky little momma's boy with curly hair, thick glasses, and a voice that could bring the angels to tears.

In the short time since he took second place in the television competition (and we all know he wuz robbed!), Clay has risen far beyond mere American Idol status, to be idolized and adored by fans worldwide.OUT OF THE BLUE is not just another story of this remarkable talent's unlikely rise to international fame. That story is in these pages, but Jeannie Holleman wanted this book to be much more than that. So it is also the story of the profound effect Clay has had on his fans, how he has inspired them to acts of kindness and compassion, and how everyone he touches - with his voice, his demeanor, and his actions - is inspired to spread his gentle message.OUT OF THE BLUE is a hometown Raleigh girl's tribute to Clay Aiken, a superstar who seemed to burst from nowhere. But it is also a tribute to the amazing power of friendship, for 'out of the blue,' Jeannie Holleman has met hundreds of new 'Clay friends' from all over the US and the world. She has spent nearly three years collecting their stories of how Clay - and being a Clay fan - has changed their lives for the better. Many of these fans, having seen their personal worlds transformed, are now working to help change the world at large. Like their idol, Clay Aiken, it is their fondest wish to 'make a difference.'OUT OF THE BLUE is, as its author says, 'a long love letter to a sweet hometown boy.' But it is also a love letter - humorous, touching, and utterly sincere - to his remarkable fans. This book is 564 pages long, and includes over 160 personal photos.…
