Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting graphic novel adaptation of the award-winning nonfiction book, Bomb—the fascinating and frightening true story of the creation behind the most destructive force that birthed the arms race and the Cold War. In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a Uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a scientific race that spanned three continents. In Great Britain and the United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific community; in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines to attack German heavy-water manufacturing; and deep in the desert, one brilliant group of scientists, led by "father of the atomic bomb" J. Robert Oppenheimer, was hidden away at a remote site at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, the risk-taking, the deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb. New York Times bestselling author Steve Sheinkin's award-winning nonfiction book is now available reimagined in the graphic novel format. Full color illustrations from Nick Bertozzi are detailed and enriched with the nonfiction expertise Nick brings to the story as a beloved artist, comic book writer, and commercial illustrator who has written a couple of his own historical graphic novels, including Shackleton and Lewis & Clark. Accessible, gripping, and educational, this new edition of Bomb is perfect for young readers and adults alike. Praise for Bomb (2012): “This superb and exciting work of nonfiction would be a fine tonic for any jaded adolescent who thinks history is 'boring.' It's also an excellent primer for adult readers who may have forgotten, or never learned, the remarkable story of how nuclear weaponry was first imagined, invented and deployed—and of how an international arms race began well before there was such a thing as an atomic bomb.” —The Wall Street Journal “This is edge-of-the seat material that will resonate with YAs who clamor for true spy stories, and it will undoubtedly engross a cross-market audience of adults who dozed through the World War II unit in high school.” —The Bulletin (starred review) Also by Steve Sheinkin: Fallout: Spies, Superbombs, and the Ultimate Cold War Showdown The Port Chicago 50: Disaster, Mutiny, and the Fight for Civil Rights Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War Born to Fly: The First Women's Air Race Across America The Notorious Benedict Arnold: A True Story of Adventure, Heroism & Treachery Which Way to the Wild West?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About Westward Expansion King George: What Was His Problem?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the American Revolution Two Miserable Presidents: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil War

Download or read book Rex Curry s DARWIN AWARDS Joseph Stalin Mao Zedong Adolf Hitler Pol Pot Kim Il sung more written by Lin Xun and published by No Pledge Publishing. This book was released on with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darwin Awards commemorate those who perish through some "astonishing misapplications of judgment." Special recognition goes to the work of Joseph Stalin, V.I. Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Karl Marx, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Adolf Hitler, and their ilk. What were the historical origins of their notorious multi-year prize-winning death races? The old roots are diverse and even include the USA. From 1892 through 1942, the Nazi salute was performed by public officials in America. Where are the old photographs and films of the American Nazi salute performed by federal, state, county, and local officials? Those photos and films are rare because people don't want to know the truth about the globe’s scary past. Public officials in the USA who preceded the German socialist (Hitler) and the Italian socialist (Mussolini) were sources for the stiff-armed salute (and robotic chanting) in those countries and other foreign countries. The "ancient Roman salute" myth originated from the city of Rome in the state of New York (not Italy), Francis Bellamy's hometown. Later, Mussolini presented a strange gift to the city of Rome, NY: a statue of two human male infants suckling on a female wolf. That statue remains on display in Rome, NY. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts helped spread the Nazi salute and the swastika to Germany and elsewhere. The author is Supermodel and Superwriter Lin Xun and she joins the Dead Writers Club to expose many amazing discoveries, including: (1) Congress and the Flag Code confirm that the military salute was the origin of the Nazi salute. (2) The USA's Pledge of Allegiance inspired Nazi rituals. (3) Public schools spread Nazi behavior. (4) Swastikas represented crossed "S" letter shapes for "socialist" under Hitler. They are eye-popping revelations that are undisputed by the New York Times • The Washington Post • Los Angeles Times • San Francisco Chronicle • Tampa Bay Times • Chicago Tribune • Newsday • The New York Times Book Review • Tampa Tribune • Library Journal • Publishers Weekly • Saint Petersburg Times • History Journal • Scholar's Weekly Because she speaks truth to power with her ground-breaking revelations, Lin Xun has been subjected to harassment (including risque images of her posted on the internet). She doesn't care! In this book, Lin spanks history's bottom, leaving red hand prints. Hop in Lin's pink Cadillac and take a ride to the land inside of your mind. Nazi salutes and Nazi behavior originated from the USA's Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, created by Francis Bellamy, an American socialist. The author Lin Xun searches for old photos and film footage of the early Pledge of Allegiance showing the origin of the USA's notorious stiff-armed salute. Many of those artifacts have been found among Dr. Rex Curry's historical archival work. Curry's discoveries are changing the history books. Please send any images or inquiries to the email address of the publisher mentioned in the book. Each book is personally handled, wrapped, and mailed by Lin Xun IN THE NUDE! Or by the publisher, depending on who's available. This empowering book gives everyone a voice to transform his community. To everyone who threw up on Hitler's election night, who sobbed on the bathroom floor at Stalin's power grab, who dry heaved trying to imagine how to tell the children what had happened under Mao, who couldn’t stop physically shaking due to the Kim thugs, who felt the horror of what was to come under all socialism, I say this: WE KNEW. WE KNEW. WE KNEW. “There is rumor of a Pulitzer Prize for exposing the Pledge of Allegiance as the origin of Nazi salutes and Nazi behavior; and the swastika as alphabetical ‘S’ letter shaped symbolism for ‘socialist.’ Hooray!” - Ward Toolen, Stop The Pledge (STP) Foundation. "The symbol presently known as Lin Xun wrote a game-changer with this book." – Francis Hannah Cruz

Pursuing the sport with determination and discipline, Kareem earns his place among the typically exclusive players in college, becoming part of the first all-Black national interscholastic polo championship team—all while struggling to keep his family together. Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever is the story of bonds of brotherhood, family loyalty, the transformative connection between man and horse, and forging a better future that comes from overcoming impossible odds.

Download or read book Performing Indigenous Identities on the Contemporary Australian Stage written by Susanne Julia Thurow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 50 years, Indigenous Australian theatre practice has emerged as a dynamic site for the discursive reflection of culture and tradition as well as colonial legacies, leveraging the power of storytelling to create and advocate contemporary fluid conceptions of Indigeneity. Performing Indigenous Identities on the Contemporary Australian Stage offers a window into the history and diversity of this vigorous practice. It introduces the reader to cornerstones of Indigenous Australian cultural frameworks and on this backdrop discusses a wealth of plays in light of their responses to contemporary Australian identity politics. The in-depth readings of two landmark theatre productions, Scott Rankin’s Namatjira (2010) and Wesley Enoch & Anita Heiss’ I Am Eora (2012), trace the artists’ engagement with questions of community consolidation and national reconciliation, carefully considering the implications of their propositions for identity work arising from the translation of traditional ontologies into contemporary orientations. The analyses of the dramatic texts are incrementally enriched by a dense reflection of the production and reception contexts of the plays, providing an expanded framework for the critical consideration of contemporary postcolonial theatre practice that allows for a well-founded appreciation of the strengths yet also pointing to the limitations of current representative approaches on the Australian mainstage. This study will be of great interest to students and scholars of Postcolonial, Literary, Performance and Theatre Studies.
