The Quotable Founding Fathers: A Treasury of the Wise

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Melton, Buckner F., Jr., PUBLISHER: Potomac Books, No group is quoted???and misquoted???more often than America??'s founders. When a political controversy heats up, the nation??'s speechwriters, politicians, reporters, editorial writers, and talking heads try to influence the debate by quoting their words. Year in and year out, teachers and political buffs look to their wisdom to illuminate the issues. How much easier it would be to find every key quote by the founders in a single source. "The Quotable Founding Fathers," edited by Buckner F. Melton, Jr., provides just that source???a compilation of some quotes summing up the wit and wisdom of the founders. While some of these quotations can be found in general quotation compilations such as Bartlett???s, these volumes offer only a fraction of what??'s available. "The Quotable Founding Fathers" mines deeper into the founders??? essays, diaries, letters, speeches, and sermons to extract all the nuggets that are significant to the history of the country??? and to the ongoing debate about the meaning of democracy in America.

Access to Research Data in the 21st Century: An Ongoing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tolbert, La Verne / Science Technology and Law Panel / National Research Council, PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, In the years since the Shelby Amendment, scientists, industry, and policy makers have struggled over how the public's new right of access should be applied to scientific data. There is loose agreement that research data should be accessible, but wide disagreement over the "depth" to which the public has such a right. The National Academies' Science, Technology, and Law Program held a workshop to explore the mounting tensions in the federal regulatory process between the need to provide access to research data and the need to protect the integrity of the research process. The workshop provided a picture of the debate arising from passage of the Shelby Amendment and the resulting OMB revisions of Circular A-110. This report is a summary of the workshop.

Three Divine Works

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maloney, Sharon, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, There are many simple treasures in life. Happiness is one of them and, in my opinion, is the ultimate goal for many people who seek after it. Three Divine Works is a book where you can discover what creates happy feelings and how to achieve this. The main themes are spirituality and inspirational thought. Both of these ideas bring about happiness in different ways. Having a spiritual goal can be helpful in finding peace or structure in your life. Believing in God, for example, can be a beneficial approach to coping with stress, or other issues that seem too complicated or confusing to handle by yourself. Looking for a spiritual solution might be the answer, and when a bad situation works out, happiness results. My poetry will leave you with a lasting impression and a happy note concerning your feelings and special desires that make life so interesting that you want to see more each day. The stars above and the rainbow after the rain has come are indeed a part of nature and the big scheme of things that inspire, delight, and capture your heart I have also written poems about my experiences while traveling, meeting people, and becoming a writer.

A Lemoncode Sceptic and Orange Answers

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Venter, Tertius Hj, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, This book is based on the actual email communications between the writer and a sceptic who came across the author's website www.torquetalk.nl on the internet. He decided to write to the author to find out more about the author's convictions and motivation for his website and in particular whether the author had any hard evidence for what he believed to be true. He chose to stay anonymous throughout the communications that took place over a period of three to four weeks. Difficult, but very relevant questions were asked about the hard evidence for the existence of God. The text was kept as accurate and true to the original emails as possible. Changes that were made were mainly to make the text more readable. Where it was felt necessary, sentences, paragraphs or questions were changed to make them more understandable and clearer to the reader. The author has also expanded on some of the answers as he revised the text and felt that more complete explanations could be helpful. Due to the nature of the correspondence, the responses to some of questions or statements do not always follow immediately but a paragraph or two later. It was kept as such to stay as true to the original correspondence as possible.

The Vesuvius Club: A Bit of Fluff

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gatiss, Mark, PUBLISHER: Scribner Book Company, Meet Lucifer Box: Equal parts James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, with a twist of Monty Python and a dash of Austin Powers, Lucifer has a charming countenance and rapier wit that make him the guest all hostesses must have. And most do. But few of his conquests know that Lucifer is also His Majesty's most daring secret agent, at home in both London's Imperial grandeur and in its underworld of despicable vice. So when Britain's most prominent scientists begin turning up dead, there is only one man his country can turn to for help. Following a dinnertime assassination, Lucifer is dispatched to uncover the whereabouts of missing agent Jocelyn Poop. Along the way he will give art lessons, be attacked by a poisonous centipede, bed a few choice specimens, and travel to Italy on business and pleasure. Aided by his henchwoman Delilah; the beautiful, mysterious, and Dutch Miss Bella Pok; his boss, a dwarf who takes meetings in a lavatory; grizzled vulcanologist Emmanuel Quibble; and the impertinent, delicious, right-hand-boy Charlie Jackpot, Lucifer Box deduces and seduces his way from his elegant townhouse at Number 9 Downing Street (somebody has to live there) to the ruined city of Pompeii, to infiltrate a highly dangerous secret society that may hold the fate of the world in its clawlike grip--the Vesuvius Club.

Right to Arm Bears

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickson, Gordon R., PUBLISHER: Baen Books, HUMANS OR HEMNOIDS: AN UNBEARABLE CHOICE Planet Dilbia is in a crucial location for both humans and their adversaries, the Hemnoids. Therefore making friends with the Dilbians and establishing a human presence there is of the utmost importance, which may be a problem, since the bearlike Dilbians stand some nine feet tall, and have a high regard for physical prowess. They're not impressed by human technology, either. A real man, er, bear doesn't need machines to do his work for him. But Dilbians "are" impressed by sharp thinking, and some have expressed a grudging admiration for the logical (and usually sneaky) mental maneuvers that the human "shorties" have used to get themselves out of desperate jams. Just maybe that old human craftiness will win over the Dilbians to the human side. If not, we lose a nexus, and the Dilbians will learn just how unbearable Hemnoids can be....

Star Wars Jumbo Kenner Action Figures 4 Pack Early Bird Set

40 years ago a generation of kids saw a movie that changed their lives. When they left the theater and went to the store to find action figures from their favorite new movie they did not exist. When the holidays rolled around and the kids wanted to find their favorite heroes, villains and droids under the tree, none could be found. The toy makers solution to this problem was The Star Wars Early Bird Kit. Parents, desperate for anything Star Wars to wrap for their kids, were sold a large cardboard envelope that had a fold out stand, some stickers, trading cards and a promise that WHEN the figures were made, they would be the first kids to receive them. Gentle Giant Ltd pays tribute to that classic Star Wars story 40 years later with the Star Wars JUMBO Early Bird 4-pack. This 4 pack of action figure is a great jumping on point to the Jumbo line for new collectors as well as bringing back some earlier, harder to find figures for current Jumbo connoisseurs. The Early Bird Jumbo figure 4-pack will come in a retro box mimicking the original Early Bird envelope, inside will be the familiar white mailer tray with Luke Skywalker (with his double telescoping lightsaber. The first DT saber in the Jumbo line!), Princess Leia (with white vinyl cape and blue blaster) Chewbacca (with greenish Early Bird crossbow blaster) and R2-D2 (with clicking head). Also included in the set will be larger reproductions of the stickers and a large foldout, replica display stand that will hold the original 12 figures along with the perforated cards attached to the front. Gentle Giant Ltd,s Jumbo line. Just like you remember, ONLY BIGGER!

Fighting Women: Anger and Aggression in Aboriginal Australia

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burbank, Victoria Katherine, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, Fighting is common among contemporary Aboriginal women in Mangrove, Australia--women fight with men and with other women. Victoria Burbank's depiction of these women offers a powerful new perspective that can be applied to domestic violence in Western settings. Noting that Aboriginal women not only talk without shame about their emotions of anger but also express them in acts of aggression and defense, Burbank emphasizes the positive social and cultural implications of women's refusal to be victims. She explores questions of hierarchy and the expression of emotions, as well as women's roles in domestic violence. Human aggression can be experienced and expressed in different ways, she says, and is not necessarily always "wrong." Timely and controversial, "Fighting Women" will stimulate discussion of aggression and gender relations and will enlarge the debate on the victimization of women and children everywhere.

The Cooperative Solution: Toward a Just Economy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Williams, Richard C. / Lederach, John Paul, PUBLISHER: University Press of America, All over the world, poverty is gradually giving way to cooperative economic activity. At the same time, there are signs that standard competitive 'free' markets are failing. Empirical evidence shows that cooperation works better than competition and that cooperatives succeed more often than standard corporations. Assumptions underlying the competitive system are that competition results in equity for all and that poverty can be eliminated through the market. These assumptions simply are not true. On the contrary, the rich get richer; the poor, poorer. Cooperatives, where each member holds one share and one vote, are more democratic than hierarchical corporations. Poverty is actually eliminated through a combination of microfinance and cooperation. Examples include Muhammed Yunus' Grameen Bank, Indonesia's People's Bank, and the cooperative adventure of Mondragon in Spain. These examples provide a vision of true globalization from below, a vision of a just and sustainable world. The 'how-to' is right here.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Forte, Maximilian C. / Forte, Maximilian Christian, PUBLISHER: Lang, Peter, Publishing Inc., Views of the modern Caribbean have been constructed by a fiction of the absent aboriginal. Yet, all across the Caribbean Basin, individuals and communities are reasserting their identities as indigenous peoples, from Carib communities in the Lesser Antilles, the Garifuna of Central America, and the Taino of the Greater Antilles, to members of the Caribbean diaspora.

Territories covered include Belize, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, French Guiana, Guyana, St. Vincent, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Puerto Rican diaspora. Writing from a range of contemporary perspectives on indigenous presence, identities, the struggle for rights, relations with the nation-state, and globalization, fourteen scholars, including four indigenous representatives, contribute to this unique tesament to cultural survival. This book will be indispensable to students of Caribbean history and anthropology, indigenous studies, ethnicity, and globalization.
