Max Hastings
Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944-45 (Vintage)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: By the summer of 1944 it was clear that Japan`s defeat was inevitable, but how the drive to victory would be achieved remained unclear. The ensuing drama—that ended in Japan`s utter devastation—was acted out across the vast theater of Asia in massive clashes between army, air, and naval forces.In recounting these extraordinary events, Max Hastings draws incisive portraits of MacArthur, Mao, Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, and other key figures of the war in the East. But he is equally adept in his portrayals of the ordinary soldiers and sailors caught in the bloodiest of campaigns.With its piercing and convincing analysis, Retribution is a brilliant telling of an epic conflict from a master military historian at the height of his powers.

Description: The Minnesota River Valley was awash in blood. On August 17, 1862, four young warriors hungry and resentful over broken treaties, unkept promises and mistreatment had murdered five white settlers near Acton in central Minnesota. This isolated, unplanned and random event swept like a wildfire ravaging the prairie. From the two agency reservations to Fort Ridgely to towns and settlers cabins, the rampage spread from the Valley and spilled onto the prairies north and south of the river. Hundreds of whites were killed. Estimates ranged as high as eight hundred dead. No one knows for sure how many died. Much of western and southern Minnesota was depopulated. The question was how many had been killed and how many had just left never to return? Indian dead were left uncounted. One thing was clear. Most of the dead were settlers, not soldiers. The Santee Dakota fought a total war. Men, women and children were killed. Many died as their killers feigned friendship. Most were unaware… [detailed...]

In the background are the Elden, a race of warriors who opposed Chaos on rare occasions. So rare that the Elden havebeen considered just a legend. The Elden Warlord, Cahan MacHaimheirgin, is given information about the new Saurian Outposts that are being built. Although the Saurians give the appearance of just fortifying their border there are strong indications the outposts are much more than they appear. At a meeting of the leaders of the Races of Order, the Elden are requested to reoccupy their old Holds, vacant for five hundred years, and reestablish a presence that could deter a Saurian invasion that would plunge Enden into war. The Bursh, a race of sorcerers, allied with the Races of Chaos, are concerned about a Saurian invasion as well for it could endanger the future Master Plan of World Conquest, a plan that is… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description With an artist`s eye, a B-17 bomber navigator recalls his WWII experiences. During the summer of 1944, the now-legendary American Eighth Air Force was engaged in a ferocious air battle over Europe to bring the Allies victory over the German Third Reich. This is the story of one B-17 navigator and his crewmates, men who faced extraordinary danger with a maturity beyond their years. This vivid and detailed account of combat flying and its psychological toll also recalls the beginning of Robert Grilley`s development as a painter of international renown, as he spends his off-duty time drawing the peaceful Northamptonshire landscape around Deenethorpe airbase. Wakened with flashlights on their faces in the predawn hours, he andhis crew repeatedly face the Luftwaffe in battles five miles high, flying through flak `so thick you could get out and walk on it.` Stretching their stamina to the limits, they succeed time after time in their missions to bomb… [detailed...]

Return from the Dead: Classic Mummy Stories (Wordsworth Classics)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Beware, the Dead are coming back! This is a unique and fascinating collection of early mummy stories that helped to establish the chilling concept of the Dead returning to life as a potent sub-genre of horror fiction. The main feature on the mummy bill, `The Jewel of the Seven Stars` by Bram Stoker, is generally regarded as his best work after `Dracula`. A weird mixture of adventure, the supernatural and science fiction is found in Jane Webb`s `The Mummy`, a tale written in 1827 but set in 2126. `Some Words with a Mummy` is by the great horror writer Edgar Allen Poe. Arthur Conan Doyle`s `The Ring of Thoth` is the classic mummy tale and was the basis for the 1932 movie `The Mummy` starring Boris Karloff and, indeed most mummy films ever since. `Lot 249`, another Doyle chiller, completes this collection, which is guaranteed to entertain and possibly prompt a nightmare.

Description: Return of the Boomers makes the hard case that, for America to successfully compete in the global economy, companies and organizations must effectively utilize the talents of mature workers to build a productive bridge to the future. It answers some of the toughest economic questions our aging nation faces: Will the American dream of a good life stand up in an economically challenged nation if skilled and educated mature workers leave the U.S. workforce in the near future? What does the future hold with fewer and lesser skilled people entering the workforce, significantly changing consumption patterns, massively under-funded U.S. Government liabilities, staggering public and personal debt and soaring health care costs? It shows leaders how to recruit, redevelop and retain mature workers as an integral part of the workforce of the future and to promote personal, professional, economic and societal success.

Description: Internationally acclaimed business gurus and best-selling authors Don Peppers and Martha Rogers kicked off the CRM revolution and changed the landscape of business competition with their classic bestseller, The One to One Future . Now, in Return on Customer, they have written an even more revolutionary book, redefining the very concept of what it means to be “profitable” as a business. Virtually every manager agrees that a company’s most vital asset is its customer base – the lifetime values of all its current and future customers. Yet when companies track their financial results, they rarely take into account any change in the value of this critical asset. As a result, managers remain blind to one of the most significant factors driving genuine, lasting business success, and instead become preoccupied with achieving short-term financial goals. Return on Customer is the first book to focus on how firms create… [detailed...]

Description: Return to Function surveys contemporary artists who make functional objects that verge on `the designed`--from vehicles to clothes to mobile studio units--which happily confirm that the once-firm line between fine art and the applied arts is indeed dissolving. These artists--Jules De Balincourt, Claire Fontaine, Francois Curlet, Fabrice Hyber, J. Morgan Puett, Michael Rakowitz, Joe Scanlan, Franck Scurti, Ricardo Miranda Zuniga and others--make objects that are simultaneously critical and practical. By choosing to create objects that meet utilitarian criteria, they show that artworks can be a part of the larger social, political and economic fabric. This volume features an in-depth discussion of seminal artists working in this vein, including Lucy Orta, Andrea Zittel and Jorge Pardo. [detailed...]
