Book Description
For over a hundred years, the world has been at war with terrorism. During the early part of the 21st century, a select group of radical Muslim countries from the Middle East has formed an Alliance. This Alliance has but a single goal in mind: to eliminate the Infidels of the world by any means-every last man, woman and child. But the world has been brought to its knee's after the detonation of three large nuclear devices by terrorists from the Alliance: three capitals-three governments: wiped off the face of the planet. A secret organization known to but a few as "The Order" has vowed to fight the final battle to eradicate the terrorist issue by the Alliance once and for all. These countries leaders have forged a new pact and are preparing to fight back with the most deadly virus mankind has ever seen, a special virus, one that has been groomed to kill the enemy! While on mission, operative Commander DC Rhodes comes across physical evidence that leads to the re-cultured and enhanced WWII virus that has just been used on a major Asian city by the Alliance. After recovery of the remaining Nazi canisters from a remote mountaintop lake in the Swiss Alps, DC and his team are ordered by the American President and Chairmember of "The Order" to provide security of the canisters while enroute to the highly modernized top secret labs at South Pole Station and Russias Vostok Station on the Antarctic peninsula while he and his team are absorbed under The Orders wing. As the Alliance unfolds its final plans to once and for all remove its enemies from the world; DC and his team are thrust into action to counter the world-wide threats as the virus they are escorting could be the worlds undoing as the use of this mutated virus could put the human race on the brink of a world-wide extinction.

Sand Talk
Author: Tyson Yunkaporta
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062975633
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A paradigm-shifting book in the vein of Sapiens that brings a crucial Indigenous perspective to historical and cultural issues of history, education, money, power, and sustainability—and offers a new template for living. As an indigenous person, Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from a unique perspective, one tied to the natural and spiritual world. In considering how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation, he raises important questions. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently? In this thoughtful, culturally rich, mind-expanding book, he provides answers. Yunkaporta’s writing process begins with images. Honoring indigenous traditions, he makes carvings of what he wants to say, channeling his thoughts through symbols and diagrams rather than words. He yarns with people, looking for ways to connect images and stories with place and relationship to create a coherent world view, and he uses sand talk, the Aboriginal custom of drawing images on the ground to convey knowledge. In Sand Talk, he provides a new model for our everyday lives. Rich in ideas and inspiration, it explains how lines and symbols and shapes can help us make sense of the world. It’s about how we learn and how we remember. It’s about talking to everyone and listening carefully. It’s about finding different ways to look at things. Most of all it’s about a very special way of thinking, of learning to see from a native perspective, one that is spiritually and physically tied to the earth around us, and how it can save our world. Sand Talk include 22 black-and-white illustrations that add depth to the text.
