Book Description
In the heat of the Korean War, Allied forces have a problem: the North Korean army is using a network of old Japanese tunnels to run military operations against the South, with near impunity. Now, the U.S. military will turn to an elite, highly trained and fearless group of men to find out where these tunnels lie-and destroy them once and for all.The Hills Went Boom!, from Korean War veteran Hank Acker, follows this newly formed reconnaissance unit-consisting of 11 U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy corpsman-as they prepare to airdrop into hostile territory in three separate and dangerous missions. The men couldnt be more different, with varied backgrounds, interests and skills. But in the process, theyll learn to rely on each other in ways they never thought possible-and form a kind of bond only known to those who have served their country under the most difficult circumstances. And with one final and most challenging directive to complete, theyll need every bit of support they can muster...Fast-paced, frankly realistic and action-packed, The Hills Went Boom! is a unique glimpse into men whose honor, determination and sheer guts has one objective: to serve their country. Hoorah!

Book Description
Pearse Furlong and May-Belle Mulholland are two normal eleven year-olds meeting one summer in small town Antrim, Northern Ireland, in the early 1980s. They have little in common except a shared experience of violent, abusive parents. They form an unlikely alliance and as their games and shared fantasies spin out of control their friendship becomes something much darker, with theft, arson, sickening brutality - and eventually murder - all lying ahead.

Mathematical Psychology
Author: Norbert Schwarzer
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040275532
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
A drawback of standard approaches to try and understand the world of feelings such as love, hate, fear, and anger plus consciousness via quantum concepts results from the old problem that Quantum Theory does not appear to be fully compatible with Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. To overcome these difficulties, we explicitly tried to avoid "pushing" any existing theory into the comprehension of the human mind and all its derivatives. On the assumption that everything, including consciousness, may consist of attributes or properties and subjecting them to a general Hamilton extremal principle, we surprisingly ended up in generalized Einstein field equations with the whole ensemble having the characteristics of a Quantum Gravity Theory. The field of psychology has lacked a unified theory to support phenomenological observations until now, and it took a mathematical physicist to find it. With example concepts of group-think and quantum-gravity–based human thought processes given among many more, it provides a basis for understanding and mitigating and potentially even preventing socioeconomic debt cycles and war... ...and it shows why love can become the black hole in a universe of feelings.

Book Description
U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Cutler Walker is on a roll. He just graduated from Air Force pilot training and earned a coveted assignment to train as a fighter pilot, when disaster strikes. He and two others are involved in a horrendous accident, with life changing consequences. His early life could not have foretold this. The second son of an Army officer, his early years were unexceptional in every way. He flourished in college, though he faced a scurrilous attack on his honor, and suffered a falling-out with his father as a result. The accident changed the trajectory of his life and spurred him on his march to manhood. With the Lord as his copilot, Walker overcomes his injuries and faces his future with unbound optimism, and a newfound empathy for others who have had more than One Hard Day.

An American Family
Author: Reid Buckley
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416588167
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 1085
Book Description
An extraordinary and sweeping memoir of one of the most revered families in America -- the Buckleys The Buckley name is synonymous with a unique brand of conservatism -- marked by merciless reasoning, wit, good humor, and strong will. Self-made oil tycoon William F. Buckley, Sr., of Texas, and his Southern belle wife, Aloise Steiner Buckley, of New Orleans, raised a family of ten whose ideals would go on to shape the traditionalist revival in American culture. But their family history is anything but conventional. Begun in Mexico (until their father was expelled) and set against a diverse inter-national background (the children's first languages were Spanish and French) with colorful guest stars (such as Pancho Villa, and Norman Mailer), theirs was a life built on self-reliance, hard work, belief in God, and respect for all. It is no wonder the family produced nationally recognizable figures such as columnist and commentator William, Jr., New York Times bestselling satirist Christopher, and New York senator James. With charm and candor, youngest son Reid, himself the founder of the Buckley School of Public Speaking in South Carolina, tells the enormously engaging and entertaining -- sometimes outrageous -- story of a family that became the mainstay of right-wing belief in our politics and culture. An American Family is an epic memoir that at once will appeal to conservatives, liberals, and moderates alike.
