What is it about this small sliver of our earth, a place the ancients called Nahrain? To the eye it appears little more than some modest mountains, portent desert, and antediluvian rivers carved through limestone over eons. But why here was it man's reasoning first turned the corner to become knowledge? What was it that its conquerors coveted down through history, and keeps more conquerors coming back even unto today? And why here did the God of Abraham choose to spark great enduring leaps of faith before they rippled to every corner of our planet? Tribes of the Nahrain is an intricate journey through recent Iraqi history as seen through the eyes, words and stories of people who lived, experienced and, in part, made it. For most it was a time of vehement conflict, ethnic and religious upheaval, genocide, rising and then rampant jihadism, rabid tribalism, and western meddling; for a few a time of opportunity. Each of their stories begins here; somewhere in the recent past. How does a young farmer take the path of becoming a jihadist and terrorist? Why the mortal conflict between Christians, Muslims and Sunni and Shi'ia when all worship the same God? What of dabbling by the West in Iraqi wars and politics; how could they have missed what was coming? Their stories offer a distinctly different view of events and history when the eyes are Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Turkmen, Iranian or a host of other tribal peoples who have staked their claims throughout recorded history to the Nahrain - 'Land of the Rivers'.

A collection of "Mooreisms". Lifelong lessons.

They were years of unprecedented progress in industry, society, democracy, education and science, but of war in Europe, America and at sea. The last decades of the Eighteenth and first of the Nineteenth Centuries saw changes that ushered in the modern world. Nowhere more so than in the Shropshire village of Coalbrookdale where, perhaps more than anywhere else at this date, technical innovation led to the use of iron in bridges, buildings, sea-going ships, steam engines and railways. But also in the world of medicine, Coalbrookdale was subject to radical change as scientific discoveries brought new attitudes and a better understanding of life and disease. Throughout this momentous period, three generations of one family ran a medical practice in Coalbrookdale. Dr Richard Moore's exhaustive research has uncovered how they skilfully adopted advances in knowledge, developed their education and played their part in creating the profession of General Practitioner as we know it today. This original account demonstrates how, in the microcosm of Coalbrookdale, the experiences of one family mirror the democratic, social, industrial and scientific changes of the early Industrial Revolution. ' It gives me much pleasure to commend this book that describes so well the transition in Coalbrookdale from the work of the apothecary-surgeons to doctors "... at the dawn of the modern medical profession,"' Michael Darby, descendant of Abraham Darby.

From the moment they first crossed paths, she in an almost transparent night rail and he acting every bit the lord of all cads, Meghan was certain his character was black as coal. Oh Saints ... whatever could have possessed her father when he wrote his will and appointed this man ... this prickly remote Duke ... this darkly handsome scion of English Society ... this most sought after prize by all ladies of the Bon Ton ... to be their guardian? But he had a plan. All right ... she would follow along to a point ... but only so far as she won the only thing she wanted from him ... freedom for her, her brothers and sister to return to the Americas ... and to finally uncover the dark mystery surrounding her father's death. She never once imagined events could turn the way they did ... or that her heart and feelings would be consumed by desires that were so exquisitely different ...

Hidden in the children's ward of an abandoned mental hospital, lied the greatest secret the world would ever know. It would only take the actions of one brave man to discover it. A man... well brave may be to strong a word perhaps a man with a sense of adventure. A man with the strength of character... ok even maybe that's a bit unrealistic, I think a better word is slightly deranged. A man with abilities far... You know what? I don't think that right either, completely deranged, that bit harsh. Insane, and slightly cannibalistic is more like it to. Any way, he discovered these writings of mental disturbed children, collected them in to this book and brought them to you. So prepare to be amazed, by the beautiful thoughts of these insane children. Brought to you by the makers of split personality disorder we think its great.

From the creator of the mash-up, "Pac-Txt", comes the next great leap backwards in technology, Paper Pong. Mixing retro with the even-more-retro, Paper Pong melds together the technological achievements of Gutenberg from the 1400's with the arcade classics of the 80's. Pushing finite state machines to their limits, Paper Pong includes an unbeatable "AI" (p2.y = ball.y), no ability to encode score and a nearly unbearable level of discrete ball positions, making this book useful for little more than a coffee table conversation piece. Each page is an elegant monochromatic state of a Ping-Pong game, with the option of either moving the paddle up or down by selecting the desired direction's page indicated by arrows on your paddle, which will lead you to the next state of the game.

We began the stories of Tribes of the Nahrain in the past; here they are brought forward into deeply unsettled times and their present. Again, their stories yield questions to make the mind pause. How, within the blink of an eye, did history turn from 'Mission Accomplished' to a quagmire spinning helplessly out of control? The tribes knew this was coming; how did we in the west not? How does a young man with scarcely two years of high school and the skills of a carpenter take on the mighty and infinite forces of 'the occupier'? What's deep within the mind of a jihadist ... 'the way' ... that yields no fear of martyrdom and others to always take their place? How might an assassin deal with another assassin? What of those that fled the violence, and what of the wounded warrior who could not flee, now returning home? Their stories have futures yet to be written, but, insha' Allah, it will be written by them. Still, two lingering questions from the past and present remain; questions only they can answer and will frame their future - how is it better now, and how might it have been different?

In 2021, a coalition of bureaucrats, large corporations, and special interests is undertaking an unprecedented attack on government transparency and our civil liberties. They are limiting our freedoms and choices, robbing us of our prosperity, and more and more they are taking away our ability to protest their actions and petition our government with our grievances. As these special interests come to dominate so much of our lives, secretive government agencies and officials serve as their primary gatekeepers, guardians, and protectors.That is is true in the United States, in each of the 50 states, and it is especially true in the Badger State. In 2021, Wisconsin is a Dark State, its citizens intentionally kept in the dark about what their government is doing. And, with some notable exceptions, things are getting darker.Elected officials, state agency bureaucrats, judges-officials in every branch of government are increasingly extinguishing pathways to the information we need, and that we already pay for, to self-govern.Dark State shows just government officials are thwarting transparency and civil rights, but it also demonstrates just how some citizens are fighting back and winning, and how we can open the doors and enter into our own government again.Now is the time for action. Now is the time to focus our attention on openness as a foundational principle, a principle to be elevated and fought for in every political campaign and in every advocacy movement. For without it, no cause-liberal or conservative, libertarian or collectivist, statist or individualist-no cause at all can truly be authenticated and debated and decided in the public square, for the public square will not be in the arena of decision-making. Important decisions will be made in dark government back alleys, the reasons for which will be elusive, barricaded as they are from public view and inquiry.Censorship and secrecy are the foundations of this new coalition; open government and freedom of speech are its enemies.To beat back this assault, it will take a powerful force of a citizenry united in the critical cause of freedom. It will take Republicans and Democrats alike to fight together-and to fight together now-for the most important cause of transparency.
