Book excerpt: After Katie returns from her harrowing Caribbean adventure, our enchanting South Beach police rookie is back on the beat in Miami. We follow her to a series of routine police calls which quickly become anything but routine. Katie is assigned to work with a grumpy, ill-tempered veteran officer who has no use for rookies, or anyone else for that matter. The action culminates with a public dedication ceremony for the latest edition to the U.S. Navy's fleet of nuclear submarines, during which Katie is detached from her regular duties and appointed to work 24/7 with the Secret Service agents guarding the promiscuous husband of the President of the United States. In addition to dealing with the lecherous First Husband, Katie and her federal agent partners are soon confronted by a group of Native American militants intent on blowing up a nuclear reactor. With car chases, hand-to-hand combat, shoot-outs, and an imminent nuclear disaster, the thrilling action never stops. You won't want to put this book down.

Download or read book Der Kleine Lump written by John F. Paugstat and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Kliene Lump contains a series of true anecdotes about the winsome ways of a boy who experienced rare freedoms and "extravagances" in a harsh era defined by The Great Depression and World War II. The boy's family of seven was unique in heritage, faith, lifestyle, character, and appearance. Less than an acre of land, a primitive house, an outhouse, and five dinky buildings, which sheltered a menagerie of animals, defined their habitat. His mother wore a prayer covering and plain dress that belied her fiery temperament. She referred to her son as Der Kleine Lump (The Little Rascal; at times, The Scoundrel). When the author, John Paugstat, viewed the anecdotes as a composite picture, he saw a boy who, when nurtured by faith, family, and society, rose above the Woes of Poverty and enjoyed the Wows of Privilege and Adventure. The author would like to have been that boy, and so he was--resulting in anecdotes true to the limits of his memory. John Paugstat has degrees from the Universities of California and Cincinnati. He wrote articles on various subjects; he taught and spoke at conventions, corporate, and church-related functions. He has five patents, two published books, and three in development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the difference between lasting and transient happiness? What are the shortcomings of a scientific worldview? Was religion initially about having blind faith, or something else? Is there a way to be freed from internal conflict and external posturing? How can someone become a genuinely good person? Do we actually have souls? What were the ancient mysteries and what were they trying to accomplish? This book seeks to find a new answer to these questions, among others. And what is the possibility that our universe, with its tremendously complex structures, was created entirely by chance? Do we have a creator and if so, why would he allow suffering to take place?

This work was written as the result of difficult life circumstances, and it is written with blood of the heart, with complete earnestness. Its structure is intended to fit the modern busy person.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Sherlock Holmes written by Philip Tallon and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the most famous and recognized detective in history, Sherlock Holmes is considered by many to be the first pop icon of the modern age. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective has stood as a unique figure for more than a century with his reliance on logical rigor, his analytic precision, and his disregard of social mores. A true classic, the Sherlock Holmes character continues to entertain twenty-first-century audiences on the page, stage, and screen. In The Philosophy of Sherlock Holmes, a team of leading scholars use the beloved character as a window into the quandaries of existence, from questions of reality to the search for knowledge. The essays explore the sleuth's role in revealing some of the world's most fundamental philosophical issues, discussing subjects such as the nature of deception, the lessons enemies can teach us, Holmes's own potential for criminality, and the detective's unique but effective style of inductive reasoning. Emphasizing the philosophical debates raised by generations of devoted fans, this intriguing volume will be of interest to philosophers and Holmes enthusiasts alike.

Download or read book On Reason written by Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given that Enlightenment rationality developed in Europe as European nations aggressively claimed other parts of the world for their own enrichment, scholars have made rationality the subject of postcolonial critique, questioning its universality and objectivity. In On Reason, the late philosopher Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze demonstrates that rationality, and by extension philosophy, need not be renounced as manifestations or tools of Western imperialism. Examining reason in connection to the politics of difference—the cluster of issues known variously as cultural diversity, political correctness, the culture wars, and identity politics—Eze expounds a rigorous argument that reason is produced through and because of difference. In so doing, he preserves reason as a human property while at the same time showing that it cannot be thought outside the realities of cultural diversity. Advocating rationality in a multicultural world, he proposes new ways of affirming both identity and difference. Eze draws on an extraordinary command of Western philosophical thought and a deep knowledge of African philosophy and cultural traditions. He explores models of rationality in the thought of philosophers from Aristotle, René Descartes, Francis Bacon, and Thomas Hobbes to Noam Chomsky, Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, and Jacques Derrida, and he considers portrayals of reason in the work of the African thinkers and novelists Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and Wole Soyinka. Eze reflects on contemporary thought about genetics, race, and postcolonial historiography as well as on the interplay between reason and unreason in the hearings of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He contends that while rationality may have a foundational formality, any understanding of its foundation and form is dynamic, always based in historical and cultural circumstances.

Download or read book George Marshall written by David L. Roll and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary career of General George C. Marshall—America’s most distinguished soldier–statesman since George Washington—whose selfless leadership and moral character influenced the course of two world wars and helped define the American century “I’ve read several biographies of Marshall, but I think [David] Roll’s may be the best of the bunch.”—Thomas E. Ricks, New York Times Book Review • “Powerful.”—The Wall Street Journal • “Enthralling.”—Andrew Roberts • “Important.”—William I. Hitchcock • “Majestic.”—Susan Page • “Engrossing.”—Andrew J. Bacevich • “Judicious.”—Walter Isaacson • “Definitive.”—Kirkus Winston Churchill called him World War II's "organizer of victory." Harry Truman said he was "the greatest military man that this country ever produced." Today, in our era of failed leadership, few lives are more worthy of renewed examination than Marshall and his fifty years of loyal service to the defense of his nation and its values. Even as a young officer Marshall was heralded as a genius, a reputation that grew when in WWI he planned and executed a nighttime movement of more than a half million troops from one battlefield to another that led to the armistice. Between the wars he helped modernize combat training and re-staffed the U.S. Army's officer corps with the men who would lead in the next decades. But as WWII loomed, it was the role of army chief of staff in which Marshall's intellect and backbone were put to the test, when his blind commitment to duty would run up against the realities of Washington politics. Long seen as a stoic, almost statuesque figure, he emerges in these pages as a man both remarkable and human thanks to newly discovered sources. Set against the backdrop of five major conflicts—two world wars, Palestine, Korea, and the Cold War—Marshall's education in military, diplomatic, and political power, replete with their nuances and ambiguities, runs parallel with America's emergence as a global superpower. The result is a defining account of one of our most consequential leaders.
