Remember Flight 93: A True Story of American Courage by Richard Roy Blake 3.0 Stars (4 Reviews)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

The story of Flight 93 on 9/11, the story of how a plane that was only a quarter full, thwarted the intention of terrorists to destroy the U.S. Capitol or White House, ought to have been one of the most inspiring, oft repeated, American legends. Sadly this is not the case. Most only know the name of one of the heroic passengers and crew and a single stirring line. Names they most probably do not know include Thomas Burnett, Jr., who in four phone calls to his wife in California realized the hijackers true intentions. They also probably do not know the name of United 93 Jason Dahl, who in his dying act pushed a button which caused the cockpit to broadcast unbeknownst to the terrorists. Or of Jeremy Glick, who in his last phone call clearly knew he was likely to die told his wife he loved her and their new baby, but that the passengers were going to hold a vote to decide whether they were going to try to storm the cockpit. He asked his wife, Lyzbeth, how she thought he ought to vote. Fewer still have probably heard the names of other heroes and heroines such as Cee-Cee Ross Lyles, Mark Bingham, Honor Elizabeth Wainio, Alan Beaven or Mickey Rothenberg. The passengers and crew that survived the initial hijacker takeover placed 35 airphone and two cellphone calls from Flight 93. The actions of the passengers and crew of Flight 93 did more to dissuade 9/11 style hijackings than the billions spent by governments in that same cause. Following the Battle of Britain Winston Churchill praised the brave RAF pilots who saved Britain from Nazi invasion, declaring that "never had so much been owed by so many to so few." That is, until Flight 93.

Living in a Nuclear World: From Fukushima to Hiroshima (History and Philosophy of Technoscience) by Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent (Routledge) Price verified 2 hours ago

The Fukushima disaster invites us to look back and probe how nuclear technology has shaped the world we live in, and how we have come to live with it. Since the first nuclear detonation (Trinity test) and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all in 1945, nuclear technology has profoundly affected world history and geopolitics, as well as our daily life and natural world. It has always been an instrument for national security, a marker of national sovereignty, a site of technological innovation and a promise of energy abundance. It has also introduced permanent pollution and the age of the Anthropocene. This volume presents a new perspective on nuclear history and politics by focusing on four interconnected themes-violence and survival; control and containment; normalizing through denial and presumptions; memories and futures-and exploring their relationships and consequences. It proposes an original reflection on nuclear technology from a long-term, comparative and transnational perspective. It brings together contributions from researchers from different disciplines (anthropology, history, STS) and countries (US, France, Japan) on a variety of local, national and transnational subjects. Finally, this book offers an important and valuable insight into other global and Anthropocene challenges such as climate change.

Norse Mythology: Gods, Giants, and Giggles by Mya Dewitt 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 50 minutes ago

Pick up your runes and embark on a fantastical adventure through the nine realms (no horned helmets required, but a hearty appetite for mead and mischief recommended) At first glance, the word "Norse" invokes feelings of adventure, of powerful gods and goddesses, of mystical beings and ruthless Vikings. Your mind takes you to the northern landscapes filled with windy grasslands, clusters of villages, serpentine rivers, horned helmets, and deep, bellowing chants. You imagine axe-wielding warriors, hammer-wielding gods, tricksters, giants, and the undead interlocked in a constant battle of good vs. evil and honor vs. betrayal. All set against the unforgiving, craggy fjords, blanketed in snow. However, there's more to the Norse people, their culture, and their mythology than Hollywood wants you to believe. While the everyday Norsemen and women were far different than Thor, Odin, Freya, or Idunn, these stories of the gods, elves, dwarves, and giants shaped and influenced every strand of life, from nature to families, and even societies, such as... The reasons for rumbling thunder (yes, it's always Thor) to the seasons of change The unwavering values of perseverance, loyalty, and devotion whether one was a dwarf, an elf, or a human The greater impact of worship, sacrifices, and rituals that shaped Norse governance, kingship, and even language All this - and more - is at the core of this book. Cleverly penned to peel away the thin veils of pop culture, this guide to all things Norse mythology brings more than the stories of gods, heroes, and monsters. Inside, you'll discover: The tangled web of myth and reality that shaped the Norse people and their culture (these myths weren't just some bedtime stories!) • A beginner's guide to worshipping like the Vikings - dive into a rich pantheon of gods and goddesses with a speed dial to choose your patron god • Mishaps, mayhems, and a large serving of myths - win the favor of the gods and relive their divine ...

Tanks for the Memories: The 712th Tank Battalion in World War II by Aaron Elson 4.8 Stars (5 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Aaron Elson bought a little Sony Recording Walkman to preserve his father's war stories. His dad passed away two weeks later, and Aaron never got to use it with him. A few years later, he found a newsletter from the 712th Tank Battalion addressed to his dad. He wrote and asked if anybody remembered Lieutenant Elson. He got a letter back inviting him to a reunion. He went, and brought the tape recorder. The rest is history. Oral history. After landing in Normandy three weeks after D-Day, the independent 712th Tank Battalion spent 311 days in combat, many of them on the front lines in support of the 90th "Texas-Oklahoma" Infantry Division. Thanks to its skilled drivers, excellent mechanics, accurate gunners, daring tank commanders and good officers, it became known as the "armored fist" of the 90th Division. These are the people you'll meet in "Tanks for the Memories," in their own words.

Kaleidoscope by Graham Wilson 3.7 Stars (11 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

A place of endless bright colours which fuse in my mind into a kaleidoscope. A remembered story of my family's life in a distant world, on aboriginal land in Australia's Northern Territory, a place like remote Canada or Alaska, where few others go. It is the landscape of Crocodile Dundee, myriad hues of billabongs, open grass plains, sunlit hills and purple storms, peopled by its many coloured children. In a changing world a missionary family and aboriginal community became part of modern Australia over 50 years. What is it about the Northern Territory that fascinates? If I mention its name in conversation and people stop to listen. Why, for nearly 200 years, has it drawn people to come, stay longer than they imagined and often, never leave? This our family's story, growing amongst the people, animals and places and colours of this this strange land, within an aboriginal community going through huge changes; citizenship, alcohol, uranium mining, land rights, outstation development, and community self-management. The role of my father in road transport including building a crossing of the East Alligator River, developing outstations for aboriginal communities, learning to fly on missionary wages and establishing an aviation service along with assisting the aboriginal peoples of this land to gain royalties from mining is a story that deserves to be told as a major part of NT history. Along with his tireless work the contribution of many others to the making of the Northern Territory is the fabric of this story. It also tells of my mother and fathers' lives and Christian beliefs which motivated their contribution to this change. It is a story of my memories and love for this remote and beautiful place, in which I lived as a child then worked as an adult and of many NT characters who gave me the memories.

Greek Mythology: Doublepack - Greek Mythology & Greek Gods (Ancient Greece History Books) by Patrick Auerbach 4.0 Stars (33 Reviews)    Price verified 50 minutes ago

2 Manuscripts Book 1: Greek Mythology - The Ancient Myths and Legends of Greek Mythology Greek Mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. The Greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. Polytheistic means they believed in and worshiped many different gods. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself. In Greek Mythology, the gods often represented different forms of nature. Their religion/mythology had no formal structure with the exception of various festivals held in honor of the gods. There was no sacred book or code of conduct to live by. The most powerful Greek gods were known as the Olympians. The Greeks believed the Olympians lived on the highest mountain in Greece, Mount Olympus. The Olympian gods included: Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hades, Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon and Hestia or later she was replaced in some lists by Dionysus. Greek Mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature. The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, focus on the Trojan War and its aftermath.

Egyptian Mythology: Egyptian Gods & Ancient Egypt (Ancient Egypt History Books) by Patrick Auerbach 4.1 Stars (23 Reviews)    Price verified 60 minutes ago

2 Manuscripts Book 1: Egyptian Gods - The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt Worshiped for over three-fifths of recorded history, ancient Egypt's Gods and Goddesses are among the most fascinating of human civilization. The lives of pharaohs and commoners alike were dominated by the need to honor, worship, and pacify the huge pantheon of deities. From lavish tomb paintings and imposing temple reliefs to humble household shrines, countless tributes throughout Egypt reflect the richness and complexity of their mythology. This book examines the Egyptian gods and goddesses - from minor household figures such as Bes and Taweret to the all-powerful deities Amun and Rethat made Egypt the most completely theocratic society of the ancient world, and made Egyptians, according to Herodotus, "more religious than any other people." Ancient Egypt has held humanity in its thrall for over 5000 years. The image of the Great Pyramids of the Valley of the Kings rising ghostlike from the white sands of the Sahara Desert is synonymous with the mysteries of the Ancient World. Ancient Egypt was remarkably advanced, especially considering its origins date back 30 centuries before the Common Era. From clocks to the 12-month calendar to agriculture and fashion, we continue to experience the echoes of Ancient Egypt in the world we live in today. Book 2: Ancient Egypt - A Guide to the Gods, Pharaohs, Dynasties, and Traditions of Ancient Egypt Ancient Egypt's impact on later cultures was immense. You could say that Egypt provided the building blocks for Greek and Roman culture, and, through them, influenced all of the Western tradition. Today, Egyptian imagery, concepts, and perspectives are found everywhere; you will find them in architectural forms, on money, and in our day to day lives. Many cosmetic surgeons, for example, use the silhouette of Queen Nefertiti (whose name means "the beautiful one has come") in their advertisements. Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted ...

Prohibition in the United States: A History From Beginning to End by Hourly History 4.3 Stars (429 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

Prohibition in the United States * * *Download for FREE on Kindle Unlimited + Free BONUS Inside!* * * Read On Your Computer, MAC, Smartphone, Kindle Reader, iPad, or Tablet. For thirteen years, from 1920 to 1933, the transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages were prohibited in America. This "Noble Experiment" was undertaken because its supporters believed that alcohol was the single major cause of both crime and poverty. They believed that prohibiting alcohol would lead to the end of poverty and slum housing in the United States and that prisons and jails would no longer be needed. However, the precise opposite proved to be true. Prohibition led directly to rising crime rates, widespread illegal behavior amongst ordinary Americans, and a loss of respect for laws, law enforcement, and for the apparatus of government. How could something based on such good intentions go so disastrously wrong? Inside you will read about... Alcohol in Colonial America Prohibition Propaganda The Noble Experiment Life under Prohibition Organized Crime and Corruption Repeal Day And much more! This book tells the story of the temperance movement in America, of its rise over a period of one hundred years to encompass the growing women's movement, and how it eventually attained its goal in 1920. It tells the story of Prohibition itself, of how people exploited loopholes in the law to continue drinking legally, and of how they simply ignored the law and drank illegally. It tells the story of the bootleggers and corrupt officials who made fortunes from Prohibition and the politicians who supported and attacked it. This is the story of a bold experiment undertaken for the very best of reasons which led to the worst of outcomes.
