Book Description
Former river rat, Ro Walsh has worked on the Niagara River all his life and has seen how its deadly mystique engulfs strangers and friends alike. It is stamped irrevocably on their death faces. Despite an unending feeling that something unnatural exists in the unfathomable void that is the plunge basin at the base of Niagara Falls, Walsh escapes its pull. And his fears. But only for a while. Now it wants him back. A sniper is on the loose in Niagara Falls and his targets are the men who work on the river known as river rats. Or so it seems. In spite of the danger, Walsh is compelled to return to the Falls setting in motion events that will take him into the mysterious depths of the plunge basin. And on a collision course with his darkest fears.

Book Description
What if you could take a real life ride down a turbulent river through raging rapids and over the most famous waterfall in the world? And survive. Maybe. Would the thrill and the rush of adrenaline be worth the danger of such a risky adventure? The Ultimate Thrill Corporation is betting that you would be willing to take just such a risk. And they believe their high-tech passenger craft can endure the rigors of just such a journey. What no one can foresee is how mysterious events in the plunge basin-a void at the base of the Falls so deep that it has never been surveyed, will forever change the lives of all who dare to enter into it. Then there is the mystique of the Falls itself, with its deadly history and the haunting psychological shadow that it casts over its denizens and all who dare to challenge it. Let Ro Walsh, a self proclaimed river rat who knows just about all there is to know about the Falls and whose job it is to fish its victims out once they resurface-if they resurface, be your guide, as you discover the dark secrets that are hidden underneath the Niagara faade. In any event you'll never look at Niagara Falls in quite the same way again.

American Lynchpin

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Eight out of ten people polled say they believe that the country is “mainly” or “totally’ divided. NBC/WSJ survey 10/2018. There is a growing sentiment in the majority of people in America who believe, that given our current state of affairs, we have never been more divided as a country. That is remarkable considering all the instances of polarizing events that have occurred in our past such as civil rights, abortion and the Vietnam War, just to mention a few. However, none of those controversies were divisive enough to actually split the country apart. Nevertheless, there is a precedent that did exactly just that-tore this country asunder; resulting in four bloody years of slaughter that had brothers killing each other. It was the ultimate schism. The American Civil War was unquestionably one of the darkest times in our nation’s past. How did our country get to that point? What is happening to our country now? Are we standing on the precipe looking into the abyss, once again? What can we do to prevent it? These are the questions that should profoundly concern EVERY American. “The next election will be a battle for the soul of the country.” Joe Biden Before you take one step into a voting booth you must read this book!

Sstop School Shooter Threat Onset Predictive
Author: Robert Sneider Psyd
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1612043836
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
This book is a firsthand anecdotal account of trying to survive the violence of a dysfunctional school system in the Bronx, New York. In the wake of such school shootings as Columbine and Sandy Hook, the topic is more relevant than ever. The book proposes a new theory of combining FBI and CIA reports on school shootings with the Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator to determine the likelihood of the school shooter syndrome. This work adds a new perspective to the dialogue on guns, bullying and school safety. SSTOP School Shooter Threat Onset Predictive: The Pathology of Bullying, Violence in Schools and the School Shooter Syndrome was written by an educator who has worked the past ten years in special education as a teacher and case manager. Says author Robert Sneider, "I spent six years in the Bronx, New York, in a school that was 99 percent African American and Hispanic. This was a school that was plagued by poverty and violence framed by a dysfunctional school system. This book was a product of those experiences and a theory that I had developed while writing the thesis for my doctorate in psychology.

Blindsight
Author: Peter Watts
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1429955198
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

American Military History Volume 1
Author: Army Center of Military History
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781944961404
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
