    All Chet Thomlin wants is to be left alone to care for the abandoned and neglected animals at his store, Used Pets, but his obnoxious customers and clinging mother make life miserable. And nothing ever seems to change.On April Fool's day, a gnome-like little man appears on television.

And his friends disappear.On Easter Sunday, a bright light appears, and Bob tells the remaining population of Denver that if they enter the light, they will be safe from the reconstruction zone.

    Cyberwarfare: Targeting America, Our Infrastructure, and Our Future identifies and elaborates previous examples and current actions involving American cybersecurity forces, allies and adversaries that pose imminent national and personal security dangers. By “cyber war,” we are generally referring to a foreign (or even domestic) government-level nation-state actions that are intended to penetrate another nation’s computers or networks for purposes of causing physical equipment damage or critical service disruptions. Military and civilian intelligence organizations, for example, routinely prepare cyber battlefields with virtual computer explosives in the form of software malware called “logic bombs” and “trapdoors” placing virtual explosives in other countries’ power grids, financial and communications networks, and other critical utility infrastructures.

    413,95 kr.

    In any objective field of science, if a theory fails the predictive requirement, then that theory is discarded. But in climate research not everything is at is appears. Exposed is the greenhouse gas chimera—mythical sky dragon.The world has witnessed a frenzy of unverifiable claims that human emissions of a trace gas—carbon dioxide—are causing unprecedented global warming. Despite the relentless rise of levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), global temperatures refuse to show any statistically meaningful rise.The Sky Dragon Slayers: Victory Lap reveals in forensic detail how the evidence relied upon by policymakers and environmentalists to swell alarm is mostly untrustworthy and bungled secret science manufactured by a clique of well-funded government researchers.Long-held assumptions are depicted as fact, while unknowns and uncertainties, which should have been declared, are unethically cloaked in a veneer of confident predictions of impending doom and gloom.Herein, unpicking this dilemma is a stellar team of authors and researchers—the Slayers of sky dragons. Among them are some of the world’s foremost scientists. They include Dr. Tim Ball, the internationally renowned climatologist; Dr. Pierre R. Latour, a world-leading expert on carbon dioxide recently honored with a lifetime achievement award in science and Dr. George V. Chilingar, among the world’s most decorated applied scientists who served the United Nations with distinction as science adviser.The most astonishing conclusion reached, after thorough examination of all the evidence, is that carbon dioxide more likely cools, not warms our planet. It is the polar opposite of what consensus claims have told us. The biggest climate threat we face isn’t warming, but a new ice age!

  • - Advice from a Corporate Tyrant
    af Anthony Garone
    213,95 kr.

    People are clueless and work by situational imitation, narrow mimicry and semi-conscious role-playing because they simply don’t know any better. Schools don’t teach us how to succeed. They teach us how to be good at school.The Work isn’t a prescriptive, repeatable algorithm taking you from A to B. It's a framework bridging many ideas, books and experiences, but applied uniquely to whoever encounters it. You are your own person with your own life, so the way you implement these strategies is up to you.Clueless at The Work emerged from an urge to digest, amalgamate, organize and disseminate the potent and powerful works of others—all filtered by learning and experience.

Exercised through our free minds and choices, infotech opportunities and and benefits are virtually unlimited.

    Hawaii 1941Nimitz at Ease relates the true and unpublished story of a grand relationship that developed between Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and Una and Sandy Walker during World War II and how the Walkers helped relieve Nimitz of the tremendous pressures of war, including awful letters from parents that accused him of killing their sons. The Walkers gave Nimitz a place, space and time free of command or demand which, in a small but meaningful way, helped him cope with and win the war in the Pacific.Nimitz commanded all the armed forces in the Pacific during World War II-the largest military power that ever existed in history. Victorious over the Japanese Empire, he was elevated to the highest rank in the United States Navy-five-star Fleet Admiral. Nimitz wore two challenging hats, positions currently held by two different four-star admirals in Hawai`i-Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet (CinCPac), and Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas (CinCPOA). Under the latter hat, he had operational command of all Allied forces-air, land and sea-in the Pacific. He was the supreme commander, overseeing the enormous effort fighting World War II in the Pacific.Nimitz first met and became close friends of the Walkers when, as a young Lieutenant Commander, he was assigned to build the Submarine Base at Pearl Harbor in 1920. He rekindled that friendship soon after taking over the Pacific Fleet after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The day after taking command, Nimitz was asked by the press how he was going to handle a fleet under water and the Japanese juggernaut rampaging through the western Pacific. In response, he drew on a Hawaiian word given him by the Walkers - ho`omanawanui which means "All things work out in the fullness of time."Little or unknown facts emerge during this story-that Nimitz suffered from chronic insomnia, bouts of malaria, and his true relationships with Admiral Halsey and General McArthur, and his love of rigorous exercise, games, and fine dining.Michael A.Lilly was in a unique position to write Nimitz at Ease. He discovered his grandmother's diary, which detailed all the times that Nimitz and the Walkers were together. He also found hundreds of unpublished letters, memorabilia, and dozens of unpublished photos with Nimitz, his aide, and other subordinate admirals-many of which he includes in this book. Another source arrived from Nimitz's grandson, Chester ("Chet") Nimitz Lay in the form of a CD - the digitized and declassified 4,023 page Graybook-Nimitz's daily command log of the war.With Una's diary, Nimitz's letters, the Graybook and other source materials spread out on Lilly's desk, he was able to track Nimitz's daily activities in war and peace, much of which has never been published.Along with beautiful images of Hawaii, Lilly takes us on a journey to the past, to Hawaii and the war in the Pacific. The story will offer anecdotes and photos, showing how a tough guy with a difficult command spent his days at ease.

  • - Breaking the Frizzle Frazzle of THE BIG LIE of Climate
    af Geraint Hughes
    278,95 kr.

    Black Dragon includes a full and comprehensive summary of the main reasons as to why the human-caused Global Warming theory is false.Global warming science is taught falsely, right from the start. This false teaching is to convince people to believe in science which isn't true, so that they willingly make expensive and unnecessary life changes, submit themselves to restrictions on their energy usage and happy to pay extra taxes. Extra taxes to people whom offer nothing in return for the extra expense but hardship.Black Dragon shines a light upon the major aspects of these falsehoods and illuminates the truth in a manner which can be understood, plainly and simply.The "twaddle talk" about how greenhouses work by radiation or the lies that atmospheres back-warm planets and the ever ready falsehood that Venus suffers a "Runaway Greenhouse Effect" are all absurd. This book explains why. The deceptive experiments of the left are laid bare and true science is taught. Black Dragon breaks the code of deceit and teaches how greenhouses really work and how to use real thermal radiation equations to quickly approximate temperatures of simple objects in space. It explains how light bulbs work and how this mechanism disproves back radiation theory. It explains why a CO2 gas planet is cold and an Oxygen gas planet is hot. It shows the real factors at work in the infamous two gas bottle experiment. It explains Venus and goes on to prove oil isn't really a fossil fuel. Oil is being unfairly demonized to force people to pay more. It shows what could be wrong with the often used mathematical proof of back radiation using two plates and why a basic two-dimensional flat plate model is inappropriate. This often used "London's Calling 911" two plate model could be completely wrong itself. London should put the phone down and stop making crank calls. This book is a must read, it will change how you think about climate change. This true science should be compulsory teaching in all schools.The brainwashing of the high tax left must end.

  • - Footsteps of Change

    The creation and migration stories of the Native American and indigenous peoples that populate North and South America are broad-based stories of many places throughout the world. There were many indigenous people who entered North America from their emergent places in China via the Bering land bridge, those who came from the Scandinavian countries, some from the Pacific island of Mu, and those that entered from the lost continent of Atlantis. DNA samples indicate that some of these people are related by blood to the Asian continent, some that have the blond hair and blue eyes of Scandinavian people, with others having DNA that ties them to the Mediterranean countries of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel and Portugal, whose origins are from Atlantis. All of these are interesting stories, as, according to the legends and myths of the Cherokee, Iroquois, Sioux, and others. When the ice sheets melted in the Pacific area, the island of Mu was covered by water forcing the Aztec people to flee eastward by boats. At the same time, the Atlantic Ocean rose and covered Atlantis. The people were forced to leave, some going east and some going west. Thus, we have people in Canada called First Nations, the many red-skinned people of the United States areas populating North and South America, but not originating from here. The Great Lakes areas have the Chippewa, Menominee, Ojibwa, Oneida, Potawatomi, and other tribes living there. What brought them to where they live now? These legends and myths tell their stories from their own storytellers. That is why this book was written after When the Spirits Move, which told the story of the Hopi, Acoma, Pima, Papago, and Zuni, and others who profess to be Native Americans. Please enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

    In 1923 a small town's deadly secrets are about to be revealed by a sheltered, yet enterprising, young woman. Along with puzzling disappearances and lethal grudges, twenty-three-year-old Wallie uncovers it all.Walter MacGregor (aka Wallie) lives in Gunmetal, Texas, when Prohibition is the law of the land. Her calm existence is shattered when her father's rum-running brother Rory lands on the MacGregors' doorstep. Absent for twenty-four years, Rory says he's fleeing the wrath of enraged bootleggers. His tales of adventure-and the natural charisma of a born ladies' man-charm Wallie. Yet, his long-lost brother's same traits appall her father, a respected judge. Wallie craves thrilling exploits after a protected upbringing. Her mother died when she was young, and Judge Walter MacGregor (after whom she was named) raised her with help from her strict maternal aunt and the family's housekeeper, Athalia. While allowed to hunt, fish, and ride "just like a boy," Wallie lives an existence otherwise short on adventure. She wants her own escapades, as Poppa's tales of courthouse shenanigans and her own deep reading of Sherlock Holmes tales have whetted her appetite. After just one conversation with Uncle Rory, Wallie whispers to her ever-present beagle puppy Holler that she's eager to learn about her uncle's daring life. She has never known two brothers so dissimilar.But soon a freak accident rocks the quiet town. While the local sheriff finds nothing suspicious, Wallie believes the crime scene shows evidence of foul play. Annoyed that no one agrees with her, she sets out to prove her theory.Wallie snoops into her family's past and finds clues that point to shady establishments in the sinful port city of Galveston on the Gulf Coast. When dour and controlling Aunt Ida takes Wallie to Houston to visit a sick relative, Wallie convinces her to detour to Galveston on the way home. There they have run-ins with two gangsters who rule the town, plus members of the Chicago mob sent south by their boss "Al," and two flamboyant flappers. "They're floozies," sniffs Aunt Ida, but they are useful ones, as they proceed to divulge secrets from Gunmetal that are decades old.Wallie's curiosity and daring push her and Aunt Ida into sinister situations that ooze with danger. As they conspire to get out of the clutches of bad men, little do they suspect that more danger awaits them back home in Gunmetal-another death, Wallie's warring suitors, and a missing beagle puppy, all made more dangerous by an advancing "blue norther," extreme weather famous in Texas during the autumn season.Wallie begins to wonder if perhaps she is not cut out to be a female version of a consulting detective, Texas style. Then again, she knows she must persist.

  • - How Technology Is Rapidly and Radically Transforming Humanity
    af Larry Bell
    213,95 kr.

    This book strives to be neither utopian nor apocalyptical. Nevertheless, there is always an unrealistic natural tendency to assume that tomorrow will resemble our positive and negative experiences today, only a little bit different-or maybe extremely so-instead of recognizing that we are in the middle of an unknowably disruptive change.This is a revolution like no other: one that is inconceivably pervasive and profound; terrifying and tantalizing; and above all, inevitable and irreversible. Whereas the computational power of the human brain is largely prewired by evolution, AI capacities arising from computer technology power and applications are growing exponentially.Entirely new quantum computing technology can now be expected to accelerate processing capacities at progressively astounding rates. Just as current AI applications promise to transform an endless variety of peaceful information and problem-solving tasks, QC's capacity to out-think conventional computers presents enormously troubling military and economic cybersecurity challenges.In any case, there is no way to turn back the clock of technological progress, just as there are no known theoretical limits to computational intelligence.Will such inventions ultimately supersede our most valued qualities, capacities and necessities of human "natural intelligence"? Or rather, will unfathomably rapid and all-encompassing AI developments and applications empower us to reach higher intellectual, creative and spiritual potentials?Reinventing Ourselves challenges readers to consider multi-faceted and interconnected layers of these predominate visions and to contemplate which are likely to be most true. Both views will likely prove to be at least partially correct.Meanwhile, our personal choices are either to reinvent ourselves one day at a time or to accept obsolescence.

    Many Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the political sphere and the state of their country, baffled that Donald Trump was elected and that he continues to voice opinions and ideas that reflect ignoble principles. This book posits that democracy is defined by how well a government operationalizes the will of the people without impinging on any minority. What that will is can be expressed at the ballot box and can result in the people supporting an undemocratic outcome. However, politics in the USA are overshadowed by the Supreme Court's equation of spending money with speech and recognition of corporations possessing the right to exercise the civil liberties previously reserved solely for human citizens. What is missing in American democracy is participation by citizens in the public sphere. If political change leading to greater equality of opportunity is going to occur depends on whether Americans recognize that as a needed, worthy goal and begin to act in ways to see it realized.

    Whole brain thinking is evidenced in everyday life through our awareness of surrounding environments. It is expressed through curiosity which compels our interest in how and why natural and man-made things work the way they do, the interconnected relationships between ourselves and others, the patterns and rhythms observed in nature, the spiritual lessons and explorations that motivate higher purposes and values, the inspirations experienced through image forms, literature and stories of the past, in music and everything combined that our human, holistic minds can contemplate.

  • - Anatomy of the Lawsuit Behind a Publishing Phenomenon

    278,95 kr.

    At last it can be told, the true insider story of scandal, treachery, and betrayal behind the publishing of one of the most lucrative juggernauts in publishing history, the blockbuster Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. You've seen the stories in the news. You've read about it in blogs and chat rooms. Now, read the truth as it played out in a Texas courtroom. As Mike Farris, a seasoned trial attorney known for his grit, determination, and integrity, explained to the twelve jurors who would decide the case: "I say there's…two kinds of people. There are the naïve and the trusting; and there are the scheming and the manipulative. And when you get them together, this is what happens."The true story behind the publishing of the international bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey is more sordid and twisted than any story contained in the originator of "mommy porn." It is a maze of international partnership agreements, shady and possibly unenforceable global non-competes bound up with suspicious, constrictive service agreements, confidentiality clauses, non-disclosure agreements, and hidden, secretive contracts that would be worth millions of dollars.Four women partnered together to publish one of the most successful book series of all time, but one of the partners, Australian Amanda Hayward, absconded with the profits. Left holding the empty bag was bubbly Texas school teacher Jennifer Pedroza. Amanda's acts shattered Jennifer's dream of a bright, well-off future. When the puzzle pieces all came back together, an entirely new image had been created: one that cut Jennifer entirely out of the picture. A flurry of cease-and-desist letters, threats of criminal charges and prison, and underhanded scare tactics not only lead Jennifer to discover her own strength and courage, but to discover the attorney willing to stand beside her and fight for justice.Mike Farris, trial lawyer and superb writer and storyteller, teams up with Jennifer Pedroza to tell their remarkable story. This tale of betrayal, breach of trust, and high-stakes litigation will keep you glued to the edge of your seat as it takes you on a roller-coaster journey that one journalist called "Fifty Shades of Greed."
