They Own the Night
Author: Michael S. Pauley

ISBN: 1481768077
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
The Aliens' initial attacks were precise and devastating. Traversing the planet under the cover of darkness, they eliminated most of the Worlds' leaders and crippled their militaries all in one night. The horrific assaults continued unchecked as the thousands of alien craft circled the globe like locust, killing anyone in their path. For those who saw their methods and survived, it was clear that the invaders wanted to do one thing, remove all human life from the planet. Our only recourse was to rely on the Continuity of Government plan, and the people with the background to try and maintain a working government. The surviving leadership would do all they could to try and put things back together and to preserve what they could, but would preservation be enough? After a harrowing escape from the initial Alien attack, with his wife and only a part of his family, it was a different world for Lieutenant General, Michael Patrick, United States Army Reserve. No longer would he be just a small town lawyer, or a tired washed-up former special operator and relic of the Cold War. Now it would fall to General Patrick to piece together the military forces that would stop the onslaught. Together with other old soldiers and the survivors of the various armies and navies from around the globe, they would pull themselves together as a fighting force. Their one thought, their one mission, was not just to preserve life, but to take back the night.

Book Description
This book is about life before the Temptations and the dreams of some very young high school music students who didn’t have many choices in life, but one choice was music. I was one of these students at Western – Olin High School (Renamed Jackson – Olin) in Birmingham, Alabama. In the early 1950’s. We were poor with little or no chance of fulfilling our dreams at that time in the south. But one music teacher, Mr. Amos F. Gordon told us we could achieve our dreams if we were willing to work hard and stay focused on our dreams. Eddie Kendrick and Paul Williams were among these students and so was I. This is my life growing up with so many very talented schoolmates who all had the dreams of one day making our dreams come true.

No Game for Boys to Play
Author: Kathleen Bachynski
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469653710
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
From the untimely deaths of young athletes to chronic disease among retired players, roiling debates over tackle football have profound implications for more than one million American boys—some as young as five years old—who play the sport every year. In this book, Kathleen Bachynski offers the first history of youth tackle football and debates over its safety. In the postwar United States, high school football was celebrated as a "moral" sport for young boys, one that promised and celebrated the creation of the honorable male citizen. Even so, Bachynski shows that throughout the twentieth century, coaches, sports equipment manufacturers, and even doctors were more concerned with "saving the game" than young boys' safety—even though injuries ranged from concussions and broken bones to paralysis and death. By exploring sport, masculinity, and citizenship, Bachynski uncovers the cultural priorities other than child health that made a collision sport the most popular high school game for American boys. These deep-rooted beliefs continue to shape the safety debate and the possible future of youth tackle football.

Pages : 160
Book Description
"Centuries ago, Europeans desperate for gold and a route to the East found a lush, green paradise populated by native tribes in the New World. Despite a clash of cultures, cooperation created the fur trade that dominated early Michigan history. Subsequent violence and disease all but wiped out the native population. Later, intrepid residents crossed the frozen Straits of Mackinac on foot and then built the famous Mackinac Bridge. The land nurtured Charlton Heston and Ernest Hemingway in their youths and spawned the assassin of President William McKinley. Northern Michigan also bore witness to the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the worst shipwrecks in Great Lakes history, and to the bizarre kidnapping of Gayle Cook, an ill-fated attempt to save the Perry Hotel in Petoskey from bankruptcy. Author and storyteller Dave Rogers recounts these and other historical tales from Up North." --
