Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I think my cat is sick of me. She doesn't even sit in the same room as me.It's the first time I've been out of my apartment in almost four days. I have to return a form to my landlord. Finally, an excuse. The mailbox is on the corner. I get the same form every year: do you have kids under six years old, under eleven years old, and do you have peeling lead paint and window guards I have bars on the windows; they were there when I moved in. Maybe some peeling paint, but I'm not interested in eating any of it. And I don't think my cat is either.Whenever I look out my window at night, I see those bars. Sometimes I grab them. Prison bars. Gotta make a break. Gotta find life on the outside. January is a dark time of year for me. It's my least favorite month. Cold, silent, the mounds of charcoal snow on the street corners and in front of the subway entrances are the worst. There's the harshness of metal on metal as I release the mailbox handle. The squeal of the braking F train arriving draws me down the stairs. Navigating the subway steps places my life in the hands of the gods of a frictionless universe.A homeless guy on the downtown F train has two Food Emporium bags on his feet, held on by two rubber bands over his shoes. Crazy, but his feet are probably drier than mine. Mine are wet and freezing. I climb up the stairs at the Second Avenue stop. Howling wind.Hoping to find life, I see none in the dive bars lining the streets-at least not tonight. Muttering to myself as Tom Waits plays through my headphones. I take them off. Sometimes I just want to hear the sounds of the city streets.Once again, I sit in my apartment. Only the sound of a cabbie speeding up Sixth Avenue, running lights, deliverymen clanking chains on their bicycles, securing them to posts in the snow. The shades are open. The lamp is on. The reflecting light in the window makes the outside world invisible. I see only the bars through my reflection.And my cat still sits in the other room. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the first book I have had published, though one of my poems was included in the nationally published 'Diving Beauty'. It has mainly a romantic theme written in Shakespeare-like tones, with a little suspense and wartime material thrown in. The goal of this book is to move the reader, to inspire, to take them to another time or place where the imagination can have free reign and not be hindered by the reality of their own world. To create or heighten someone's desire to dream, strengthen their hope, or enhance their passion or appreciation for life and all of the beauty within it. To be one of many small sparks that hope to become part of a flaming light within a world that seems to be swiftly darkening. I hope you enjoy my book.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I am 21 years of age and I have discovered that I am the first and only human clone.Questions: Who am I What am I Do I have a soul Do I share a soul Am I a real person or just a copy, a shadow of a donor I visited with Dr. Ahmann who performed the cloning twenty-two years ago.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 2095, while Pops and his college-aged great-grandson are cleaning the attic of a family farm, they find a variety of magazines and papers stowed away near 2018 by Pops's father. Based on their few hours of examination, they disagree on whether the apparent changes suggested in the papers they observed were all good. Pops agrees to study and summarize what he learns from the documents about the era. Andrew is to return his frank comments. Pops then begins a systematic study to compare this past period against the current existing conditions. A series of letters to Andrew (chapters in this book) follow, summarizing US conditions in earlier periods, noting the dramatic changes since then in technology, culture, and economics. Pops is surprised to find just how bad the US situation was during his own childhood. In the investigating process, Pops also finds that his father had served on a lead section of a national-level committee whose job it was to suggest remedies for a then-sadly ailing US government and economy. Pops's study reveals that the startling economic changes from the mid-2010s were not entirely driven by the rapidly advancing technology. The shift back to US prosperity and world economic leadership was accomplished by major changes in the way the economy was structured and the way it ran. In a step requiring a national vote, the relationship between government and business was dramatically altered, and the US economy became extremely efficient. The government, after receiving approval in a national election, made major changes to the way the economy was structured. As a result, well-paying jobs became available for anyone wanting them or needing to work. Government handouts became limited only to the severely handicapped. Work hours were lessened, and individuals were able to easily find their way toward a personally suited ideal career. Recreation time and retirement were secure. Good universal health care became the standard, although it was needed substantially less as the nation's health improved due to medical breakthroughs, healthier lifestyles, more tightly controlled foodstuff, and tailored standard medications. Personal safety ceased to be a significant concern.Although not advocating this volume's predicted solution to America's problems, in the author's opinion, this approach may be the only one actually feasible.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book began as an introduction to the Bible for educated people unfamiliar with it. As public ethics in the United States began to fray, it changed into focusing on the key values in biblical literature and the costs of disregarding them. Biblical values were organized into systems known as covenants or testaments between human beings and the god Yahweh. The covenants developed by Moses and Jesus are the most important covenants in the Bible. They are not the only ones, but it is these two covenants that go most deeply into our survival or failure as individuals and as a species. The last third of the book analyzes various aspects of public life today in the light of covenantal teaching and suggests ways to strengthen commitment to them. The author's goal is to get this book into the hands of people who share his concerns and who would like to revive the influence of public ethics.…
