Book Description
DNA. Free will. Secret government projects. That was just the beginning. For centuries mankind has been living under the assumption that they were free. It's time they knew the truth. They were created for a specific purpose: to be soldiers, to lead armies. For two decades they were trained for that purpose-physically, mentally, and emotionally. But something went wrong. The two soldiers disappeared, and the project was terminated. Now, centuries later, it is time for Sentry and Sentinel to meet again in an encounter that will decide the fate of humanity. For many people it will be a battle that will be the culmination of many years of intensive work, while for others it will be a sudden and nearly incomprehensible change: an FBI Captain will be forced to confront his prejudices; a reporter will discover a terrible secret from her childhood; a Runner will lead a revolution; and a president will have to face the truth about himself. .For some it will mean betrayals. Others will become heroes.

DNA. Free will. Secret government projects. That was just the beginning. For centuries mankind has been living under the assumption they're free. It's time they knew the truth.

Max Owen has lived his entire life behind a fence - all because of some genetic defect he doesn't even understand. But after deciding to see what's on the other side, he realizes he's in for a lot more than he bargained for. Wanderjahr was the project that took away the world's freedom. This is the story of those who fought to get it back.

ISBN: 1300148136
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
The American frontier was a land of opportunity. It called to the hearts of men and women who longed for freedom, for new beginnings, and for adventure. But for many, this untamed territory turned out to be a proving ground, where a person's strength was tested beyond civilized limits. Some gave up the fight and traveled back East. Others didn't survive the challenges they faced. But for those with the strongest of character, the West became home. Come along to a country where a man could die a thousand different ways. See through their eyes what it was like to face grizzly bear attacks, fires, smallpox outbreaks, rabid coyotes, cattle stampedes, Indian raids, outlaws and more. The indomitable spirit of the West became that of the brave men and women who made these territories their home. Legends were born - some widely talked about, others known only to a small town in the middle of nowhere. Whether small or great, these legends still give purpose and hope.

Beyond Winning
Author: National Association of Fellowships Advisors. Conference
Publisher: University of Arkansas Press
ISBN: 1557287880
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Each year thousands of students apply for competitive national and international scholarships such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates Cambridge, and Fulbright. The competition for these awards is intense, and students look to scholarship advisors for support. Many universities have created an office or designated part of an office to assist these students, which has provided greater access for students who may not have applied previously or successfully. It has also increased the competition. The twelve essays in this collection from the 2003 National Association of Fellowships Advisors Conference held at the University of Denver. Essays by the heads of the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates, and Truman Scholarship foundations provide a sense of the philosophy and direction of their programs. The essays provide information on new initiatives, insights into the history and significance of the programs, and insider tips for application and interview preparation. Other essays focus on the advising and application process from successful advisors at various universities, how the U.K. higher educational system differs from that in the United States, and the key issue of ethics in the application process. All the essays demonstrate that the scholarship application experience itself is a valuable one that is more about learning and service than it is about winning.

Black Prometheus
Author: Jared Hickman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190272589
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
The Prometheus myth, for several reasons became a crucial site for conceptualizing human liberation in the immanent space of a finite globe structured by white domination and black slavery. The titan's defiant theft of fire from the regnant gods was translated through a high-stakes racial coding either as an 'African' revolt against the cosmic status quo that augured a pure autonomy, a black revolutionary immanence against which idealist philosophers like Hegel defined their projects and slaveholders defended their lives and positions. Or as a 'Caucasian' reflection of the divine power evidently working in favor of Euro-Christian civilization that transmuted the naked egoism of conquest into a righteous heteronomy-Euro-Christian civilization's mobilization by the Absolute or its internalization of a transcendent principle of universal Reason.
