Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrology provides intelligence to forecast and plan our actions in all manner of day-to-day concerns and I believe that major collective concerns, like seasons in the economy and war, benefit from the same treatment. I am an astrologer who has practiced Mundane astrology, the astrology of countries and their leaders, for three decades. This book has deep roots. Purposeful action towards a book began with an interview published February-March 2014 in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. During that interview, I pointed to specific Earth geography 35° North latitude/50° East longitude, where the U.S. would face major concerns up through 2022, when events peak for U.S. foreign interests. A look at a map of these map coordinates and knowledge of the recent history of American focus on the region, since my Dartmouth interview, speaks volumes. My project introduces an astrologically derived pattern, which I discovered and named a "War Impulse Pattern" (WIP) in 2014. This International WIP pattern has eighteen astrologically determined branches, some major, others minor. I unpack the logic of my WIP branches and lay them out in map form. Within designated zones of the branches of the WIP, I make the case, that all the major U.S. military conflicts, from 1776 to 2018, have been fought on geography marked by the WIP. Furthermore, in addition to accurately forecasting where events will occur, the three planets making up the WIP serve as timekeepers for when U.S. military forces will deploy. I have applied my innovations with Astro*Carto*Graphy®, a lens of relocation astrology, to banks, hurricanes, man-made disasters, national security and war. My research journey over the past 4 years has lead me from one surprise to another. For example, I have discovered that the entire U.S. Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) structure, a critical component of modern U.S. warfare, was set up within the WIP branches, some mere specks of land in the middle of vast oceans. This first of three books, prepares the WIP. Book Two, now in the final stages, gives chronological, compelling examples of U.S. wars from 1776 to 2018, noting that the battlefields aligned to the WIP and were susceptible to astrological timing. My vision for Book Three is an over-sized book of annotated and creatively presented maps supporting creative thinking and exercising the reader’s spatial intelligence. I offer this War Impulse Pattern (WIP) – Primer to Not on the Map book for those seeking a more sophisticated understanding of America at war. I offer practical, but strategic intelligence 'not on the map' of orthodox views of reality. How and why the WIP works is demonstrated. Most of the facts of the WIP are grounded in mainstream understanding. While I have taken years to prepare these books, the need for the WIP intelligence is urgent. A look at what's been happening all along 35° North, a belt wrapped around the Earth sweeping today’s conflict zones in Syria, Iraq, Iran (particularly Tehran near 50° East), Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Korea, and Japan reveal that my WIP lens has been brought to a sharp focus – to mastery.

Download or read book The Hell of War Comes Home written by Owen W. Gilman Jr. and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owen W. Gilman Jr. stresses the US experience of war in the twenty-first century and argues that wherever and whenever there is war, there will be imaginative responses to it, especially the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since the trauma of September 11, the experience of Americans at war has been rendered honestly and fully in a wide range of texts--creative nonfiction and journalism, film, poetry, and fiction. These responses, Gilman contends, have packed a lot of power and measure up even to World War II's literature and film. Like few other books, Gilman's volume studies these new texts-- among them Kevin Powers's debut novel The Yellow Birds and Phil Klay's short stories Redeployment, along with the films The Hurt Locker, American Sniper, and Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. For perspective, Gilman also looks at some touchstones from the Vietnam War. Compared to a few of the big Vietnam books and films, this new material has mostly been read and watched by small audiences and generated less discussion. Gilman exposes the circumstances in American culture currently preventing literature and film of our recent wars from making a significant impact. He contends that Americans' inclination to demand distraction limits learning from these compelling responses to war in the past decade. According to Gilman, where there should be clarity and depth of knowledge, we instead face misunderstanding and the anguish endured by veterans betrayed by war and our lack of understanding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keith Otterbein, a long-time authority on anthropological studies of warfare, provides a rich synthesis of theory, literature, and findings developed by anthropologists and scholars from other disciplines.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of the Kennedys 3 volumes written by Joseph M. Siracusa and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-09-07 with total page 1204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive reference that overviews John F. Kennedy's presidency, covering the people, places, and events that comprised the political landscape of the Kennedy era. The Kennedy family has played a leading role in the annals of American politics for over 100 years, no greater than when John F. Kennedy (JFK) became the 35th president of the United States. The celebrity surrounding the circumstances of his presidency, particularly his sudden assassination, made JFK the object of many enduring myths: that he might have been one of the country's greatest leaders had he lived, that he would have kept the United States out of Vietnam, and that he was a martyr to right-wing assassins. Encyclopedia of the Kennedys: The People and Events That Shaped America is a three-volume reference set that provides an in-depth look at JFK's presidency, including his foreign and domestic policies, political allies and enemies, and major events and speeches. This A–Z encyclopedia also contains entries on the events of the 1960s that changed our nation forever, such as JFK's assassination and the Warren Commission report, the space program, and the My Lai Massacre, as well as the individuals who defined the time, such as writers Norman Mailer and James Baldwin, folk musicians Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, and activists Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King, Jr. Appendices provide a substantial archive of primary documents and identify officeholders during JFK's presidency, while an annotated bibliography supplies sources for additional research.

Download or read book Past and Prospect written by Stan Ingersol and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the Church of the Nazarene faces issues that arise directly out of its past. For that reason, Past and Prospect argues that Nazarenes will be better equipped to face their future as a church armed by an understanding of their own history. Church historian Stan Ingersol examines issues that have characterized the Nazarene way of life during that denomination's first century, showing how the trajectory shaped by the church's founders has been altered through time by the shifting tides of Fundamentalism, mainstream Evangelicalism, global expansion, and the culture of affluence. He contends that current disagreements over polity, holiness, and worship are largely echoes and projections of tensions that have been present in the denomination since its very beginning. As the reader will discover, the common denominator running through these chapters is the prospect of rediscovering a relevant and useful past.
