Book Description
As we understand it, there has always been lights in the dark skies! People have witnessed Ships that appear and then Dart away then reappear moments later! Others say they have seen Beings from another World! Others say they have been abducted and still others say they have been taken and examined then released! The general public believes there is something to these stories and still others disregard the sightings and say there are explanations to them and questionable individuals. An eccentric preventive maintenance mechanic that fits in these category had wondered just what he would do if he would ever see such a thing! He had an extraordinary imaginative mind and understood the concepts of the computer world! He had Great Imagination and The thought of “What If” had always got him in trouble! Such a Ship Did come from the Heavens and used their scans on the surface to probe for such a mind in an individual for an experiment! Highly Advanced Beings from another Planet had been expanding for years! Traveling vast distances to many Planets and systems and have been in contact with other forms of life everywhere they go. In all their studies they have always been pushed around and sometimes had difficulties finishing their studies! With their Highly Advanced Technological wisdom, they eventually outgrew their basic body needs. An idea came to one of their Leaders! To scan and approach a physically fit and mentally capable Being Humanoid for use as their Body Guard! They would have to persuade and not abduct, to have him come willingly! This was important so he would be willing to accept this new way of life and help them in any situation! As things were happening as usual, there were complications and he was asked to learn more than they had expected. He was exposed to Unlimited Available Knowledge and something happened! As he pushed his capabilities to Beyond Comprehension, The Beings started seeing him as a Special Person and others thought of him as, The Coming of the Chosen One! Stories started swirling around the Society as the coming of such a Person from an Unknown Planet! As he hears of such stories and the way they see him, he starts to act like this Special Person and then he pushes it but believes he will soon be found as a fake and returned or worse, left abandoned in some unknown Planet! Surely Always On Edge!

The American Crucible
Author: Robin Blackburn
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781682283
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 694
Book Description
The American Crucible furnishes a vivid and authoritative history of the rise and fall of slavery in the Americas. For over three centuries enslavement promoted the rise of capitalism in the Atlantic world. The New World became the crucible for a succession of fateful experiments in colonization, silver mining, plantation agriculture, racial enslavement, colonial rebellion, slave witness and slave resistance. Slave produce raised up empires, fostered new cultures of consumption and financed the breakthrough to an industrial order. Not until the stirrings of a revolutionary age in the 1780s was there the first public challenge to the ‘peculiar institution’. An anti-slavery alliance then set the scene for great acts of emancipation in Haiti in 1804, Britain in 1833–8, the United States in the 1860s, and Cuba and Brazil in the 1880s. In The American Crucible, Robin Blackburn argues that the anti-slavery movement forged many of the ideals we live by today. ‘The best treatment of slavery in the western hemisphere I know of. I think it should establish itself as a permanent pillar of the literature.’ Eric Hobsbawm

Book Description
Hell with the Lid Off looks at the ferocious five-year war waged by Pittsburgh and Oakland for NFL supremacy during the turbulent seventies.?The roots of their rivalry dated back to the 1972 playoff game in Pittsburgh that ended with the "Immaculate Reception," Franco Harris's stunning touchdown that led the Steelers to a win over the Raiders in their first postseason meeting.?That famous game ignited a fiery rivalry for NFL supremacy.?Between 1972 and 1977, the Steelers and the Raiders--between them boasting an incredible twenty-six Pro Football Hall of Famers--collided in the playoffs five straight seasons and in the AFC title game three consecutive years. Both teams favored force over finesse and had players whose forte was intimidation.?Pittsburgh's Steel Curtain defense featured Mean Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, and Mel Blount, the latter's heavy hits forcing an NFL rule in his name.?The Raiders countered with "The Assassin," Jack Tatum, Skip Thomas (aka "Dr. Death"), George Atkinson, and Willie Brown in their memorable secondary.?Each of their championships crowned the eventual Super Bowl winner, and their bloodcurdling encounters became so violent and vicious that they transcended the NFL and had to be settled in a U.S. district court.?
