Book Description
Lessons taught by history have never been learned by the people of power. A historical comedy-farce confronting the perfidy and hypocrisy which lurks in the bureaucracy of all forms of religion. Third in a trilogy of books following on from ‘The Big Pipedream Society’ (9781784620936) and ‘The Dreamhunter’s Diaries’ (9781784626259) Following on from Johnny Reynolds first two satirical books ‘Professor Twister’s Weird Adventures and The Canossa Disgrace’ is a mockery of the historical events in the 11th century which closely correspond with the failures and fiascos, notoriously repeated in our times by our vacillating, indecisive and procrastinating leaders who often sit upon a proverbial ‘wobbly fence’, not knowing on which side of the ‘fence’ they would feel themselves grounded. This comedy-farce written in the form of a stage play, or a screenplay, lays out points of analogy between two different epochs in which the religious correctness and absurd practised by the ruling classes in times of the grandeur of the medieval world are largely corresponding with the political correctness and preposterousness of the ruling classes in our times. Johnny notes: ‘A good reason for making my choice of this particular period of time was that repeatedly blind-eyed greed of political supremacy often going hand-to-hand with the lack of diplomacy, had always led, and still does, to the destruction of the civil society, and thus lessons taught by history have never been learned by the people of power. The charachter of the dialogues in this stage drama points directly onto those who tend to contradict themselves.’

The 1924 Tornado in Lorain & Sandusky: Deadliest in Ohio History
Author: Betsy D'Annibale
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1625851693
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
June 28, 1924, dawned hot and sunny, with fluffy white clouds hovering over a blue and inviting Lake Erie. For two Ohio communities, Lorain and Sandusky, the day ended in unimaginable disaster. In the late afternoon, the blue sky turned dark, and the wispy white puffs morphed into a mass of black thunderclouds as a monster formed on the lake. An F4 tornado, unexpected and not understood, was born from a thunderstorm on the now turbulent waters of Lake Erie. It charged ashore, smashing into Sandusky, retreated again to the lake and then headed east before turning abruptly south to make landfall in Lorain. Before the massive funnel lifted, it would destroy a city, create death records still unbroken and change the lives of thousands of people.

Looking Up
Author: Matthew Cappucci
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1639362029
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
An energetic and electrifying narrative about all things weather—by one of today's rising meteorological stars. Get in—we’re going storm-chasing! Imagine a very cool weather nerd has just pulled up to you and yelled this out the window of his custom-built armored storm-chasing truck. The wind is whipping around, he’s munching on Wawa, it’s all very chaotic—yet as you look into his grinning face, you feel the greatest surge of adrenaline you have ever felt in your life. Hallelujah: your cavalry is here! Welcome to the brilliance of Looking Up, the lively new book from rising meterology star Matthew Cappucci. He’s a meteorologist for The Washington Post, and you might think of him as Doogie Howser meets Bill Paxton from Twister, with a dash of Leonardo DiCaprio from Catch Me If You Can. A self-proclaimed weather nerd, at the age of fourteen he talked his way into delivering a presentation on waterspouts at the American Meteorological Society's annual broadcast conference by fudging his age on the application and created his own major on weather science while an undergrad at Harvard. Combining reportage and accessible science with personal storytelling and infectious enthusiasm, Looking Up is a riveting ride through the state of our weather and a touching story about parents and mentors helping a budding scientist achieve his improbable dreams. Throughout, readers get a tutorial on the basics of weather science and the impact of the climate. As our country’s leaders sound the alarm on climate change, few people have as close a view to how serious the situation actually is than those whose job is to follow the weather, which is the daily dose of climate we interact with and experience every day. The weather affects every aspect of our lives (even our art) as well as our future. The way we think about it requires a whole-life overhaul. Rain or shine, tropical storm or twister, Cappucci is here to help us begin the process. So get in his storm-chasing truck already, will ya?
