At this time a Russian general learns of the Aquabot's existence and wants to steal the machine in order to study its technology. The general's scheme is complicated when a KGB agent plots against him and plans to take the glory. After an incident occurs at an alleged marine biology facility on the South Australian coast, Ben Logan is called on by the Australian government to infiltrate the facility and unearth its real purpose. His investigation leads him to a base in the desert, where he learns of the Aquabot's connection to the American-owned facilities. But that's not what stuns him the most. In an underground bunker beneath the desert compound, Logan discovers a cache of military machines just waiting to be unleashed. The Aquabot is the brainchild of American billionaire, Jordan Sterling, leader of a corporation that has spent billions of dollars in building an elite robotic force to be used in military take-overs in a quest for global power. But Sterling needs a constant supply of uranium to power his nuclear army, and the most vulnerable source in plentiful supply is found in Australia.

Download or read book Insights on Insincerity written by Chris Edwards and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erasmus praised folly and the Romantics waxed poetically about love, but no one until now has traced the history and impact of insincerity on society and the humanities. Insincerity arises when someone feels one way but acts another and an insincere situation looks to have one purpose but really hides another. Insincerity finds expression in four types of relationships: 1. From authority to the subordinate, 2. From the subordinate to authority, 3. Between equals 4. In society and in the self. Educators can discover how highlight insincerity in literature, history, psychology, sociology, politics, and popular culture. All readers can learn how to identify insincerity in their everyday relationships. Was that meeting at work really about conveying information and soliciting responses, or was it really about reinforcing the corporate hierarchy? When Galileo apologized to the Inquisition for positing a “solar” system, did he bring an end to an era of great religious sincerity? What did George Orwell get so wrong about insincerity in 1984? Most importantly, readers can find out what they should do when they you encounter that modern phrase that manifests insincerity: Thanks so much for your feedback.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel is a story of the transformative power of love, of how Nick Mitya, who was nourished by a patriarchal, religiously bigoted, sexually chauvinist, materialist, and hypocritical culture, is transformed into a compassionate, caring, tolerant, and honest human being. This story is a vivid depiction of the challenges, struggles, and obstacles that stand in the way of Nick’s endeavor to liberate himself from the oppressive traditions, customs, beliefs, and values of that culture and how the patient, tolerant, confident, healing fire of love illuminated Nick’s mind with the light of truth, enlivened his heart with the warmth of humanity, and armed his will with the courage to be himself. This same love is also a fertile soil for the growth of a tender, yet passionate, romantic love between a German scholar, Johannes Mitya, and a Syrian political science graduate, Tina Sarkisian. The growth of this love adds luster and nobility to love as a transformative power and as an essential condition of human happiness.
