This collection is about war's effects lingering after the killing stops, and the soldiers and their loved ones scarred by the Vietnam war. "The Dancing Man" passed through a time when war and honorable actions were not as glibly connected as they are today. It is about the children and other victims of a napalm attack in Vietnam. The Pulitzer Prize photo of a screaming naked girl, her clothes burned off by jellied napalm captured this horror well. The story is also about the veterans that deny they had any part of the dishonor of war. "Xmas Hunter" is about the isolation, pain, and wintry wind-swept psyches of many of that generation who can no longer believe that the peace and goodwill of the Holiday Season is genuine. For them it is a bitter loss of a once treasured belief. "Friends: One Down, One Arrested" is about a stunted generation that found a way to carry on without bellying up. You see the grey ones sitting in a wheelchair, a bemused smile on their face that says, "Now we all know." Some revisit their nightmares every morning, noon, and night. Or you may see the grey ones on their porch, watching you drive by and wondering what brought a new car up their way. "Rice Paddies," paired with the verdant jungles, were the canvases where the war bled. They provided killing fields as well as places for helicopters to land and grab the dead and dying. This story is about desensitization. A tragedy unfolds, yet beneath it hope survives. "The Accident" turns a corner into the perpetual wars of the mid-east. The legacies of Vietnam have thinned the line between right and wrong. Yet, with a premise that good can never be completely eliminated, this story illustrates how easy it is to morph a crime into something else. "Nuoc Mam" brings us to the present. A 'grey one' gets lucky and is allowed to live graciously. Even decades later after many foul deeds, if there is a will, there is a way to come home. Charles Hayes is an American who lives part time in the Philippines and part time in Seattle with his wife. His writing interests center on the stripped down stories of those recognized as on the fringe of their culture. Asian culture, its unique facets, and its intersection with general American culture is of particular interest. As are the mountain cultures of Appalachia.

""Of The Moon: A Philosophical Dialogue"" is a book written by Charles Hayes in 1723. The book is a philosophical dialogue that explores the nature of the moon, its effects on the earth, and its place in the universe. The dialogue is between two characters, Philo and Euthyphro, who discuss various theories and ideas about the moon. They examine the moon's physical properties, such as its size, shape, and composition, and also its symbolic and cultural significance. The book touches on topics such as astronomy, astrology, and mythology, and provides a thought-provoking analysis of the moon's place in human history and culture. Overall, ""Of The Moon: A Philosophical Dialogue"" offers a unique and insightful perspective on one of the most fascinating celestial bodies in our solar system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""A Treatise of Fluxions: Or an Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy"" is a book written by Charles Hayes in 1704. It is a comprehensive introduction to the study of calculus, which was a new and revolutionary branch of mathematics at the time. The book covers the basics of calculus, including the concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals, and provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply these concepts. Hayes also discusses the history and development of calculus, as well as its applications in physics, engineering, and other fields. Overall, ""A Treatise of Fluxions"" is an important historical work that provides a valuable insight into the early days of calculus and mathematical philosophy.Containing A Full Explication Of That Method By Which The Most Celebrated Geometers Of The Present Age Have Made Such Vast Advances In Mechanical Philosophy.
