Download or read book Native American Flags written by Donald T. Healy and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flags of the Native peoples of the United States proudly display symbols of tribal traditions, art, and culture. In Native American Flags, Donald T. Healy and Peter J. Orenski present an encyclopedic look at the flags and histories of 183 Native American tribes throughout the United States. Listing Indian nations alphabetically, this fully indexed reference includes both federally recognized tribes and other groups, and offers an image of each tribe’s flag and a map of their location within the United States. Each entry includes a brief summary of the tribe’s history, presents information on contemporary Indian peoples, and describes and illustrates in detail the symbolism and imagery of each Native American flag. A gallery of color plates includes full-color representations of 192 historic and contemporary Native flags. The authors visited more than two dozen reservations and surveyed more than 250 tribal governments, working closely with them to produce this authoritative volume. A portion of their original research on Native American flags was published in Raven, the journal of the North American Vexillological Association, an organization devoted to the scientific study of flags. This thoroughly revised and updated edition includes more than fifty new flags and accompanying tribal listings and full-color representations of each flag. Carl Waldman’s foreword places the flags within the context of Indian history, mythology, and art, and shows how Native American flags have become powerful symbols of Native unity and tribal sovereignty.

Plunge into the middle of dark and deadly places, and find yourself pitted against malevolent entities that lurk in the shadows!

The Cryptography System that he developed is now legendary in combating terrorism and crushing crime, and has been adopted by all of the American Intelligence agencies. His awesome and uncanny ability to decrypt the most sophisticated communications of al Qaeda and the top Russian criminal mastermind, has damaged the fabric of their dangerous and powerful organizations. Tony's strategies have been responsible for derailing their nefarious plans! The NSA has just received photos of a man who had been training al Qaeda insurgents to build Improvised Explosive Devices to kill American troops. No outsiders knew what this elusive killer looked like, he kept his face hidden from view! A Mossad agent paid for these photos with his life. Much to Tony's amazement, he is a striking mirror image to this high-ranking leader of al Qaeda! As a result of this revelation, Tony is trained for his first undercover mission. Now that al Qaeda possesses nuclear bombs and is preparing to unleash them on American shores, Tony must be inserted, replacing his Doppelgänger, who is the number four man in al Qaeda! Using this mysterious resemblance, he must glean their attack plan, and safely escape to try to stop them. During his mission, Tony discovers an unthinkable truth!

Tony's victories were achieved at a high price. The hunter will soon become the hunted! Both he and his family have been marked for revenge as he faces his enemies' relentless forces in a battle to the death!

Download or read book Ten Birds That Changed the World written by Stephen Moss and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From “a captivating storyteller” (Wall Street Journal), the natural history of humankind told through our long relationship with birds For the whole of human history, we have lived alongside birds. We have hunted and domesticated them for food; venerated them in our mythologies, religions, and rituals; exploited them for their natural resources; and been inspired by them for our music, art, and poetry. In Ten Birds That Changed the World, naturalist and author Stephen Moss tells the gripping story of this long and intimate relationship through key species from all seven of the world’s continents. From Odin’s faithful raven companions to Darwin’s finches, and from the wild turkey of the Americas to the emperor penguin as potent symbol of the climate crisis, this is a fascinating, eye-opening, and endlessly engaging work of natural history.

Download or read book Safire s Political Dictionary written by William Safire and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-31 with total page 887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to the vagaries of language in American politics, its uses and abuses, its absurdities and ever-shifting nuances, its power to confound, obscure, and occasionally to inspire, William Safire is the language maven we most readily turn to for clarity, guidance, and penetrating, sometimes lacerating, wit. Safire's Political Dictionary is a stem-to-stern updating and expansion of the Language of Politics, which was first published in 1968 and last revised in 1993, long before such terms as Hanging Chads, 9/11 and the War on Terror became part of our everyday vocabulary. Nearly every entry in that renowned work has been revised and updated and scores of completely new entries have been added to produce an indispensable guide to the political language being used and abused in America today. Safire's definitions--discursive, historically aware, and often anecdotal--bring a savvy perspective to our colorful political lingo. Indeed, a Safire definition often reads like a mini-essay in political history, and readers will come away not only with a fuller understanding of particular words but also a richer knowledge of how politics works, and fails to work, in America. From Axis of Evil, Blame Game, Bridge to Nowhere, Triangulation, and Compassionate Conservatism to Islamofascism, Netroots, Earmark, Wingnuts and Moonbats, Slam Dunk, Doughnut Hole, and many others, this language maven explains the origin of each term, how and by whom and for what purposes it has been used or twisted, as well as its perceived and real significance. For anyone who wants to cut through the verbal haze that surrounds so much of American political discourse, Safire's Political Dictionary offers a work of scholarship, wit, insiderhood and resolute bipartisanship.
