Taking Out North Korea's Super Missile: (The Axis of Evil & West Coast 11/26)
A rogue Chinese missile field commander duped Axis of Evil member nations into a joint attack on the United States with a North Korean super missile. When the commander pressed the launch button, a seven-nation, 60-megaton nuclear warhead was blasted into a flight path that was meant to end on California’s fragile San Andreas Fault. Fortunately for the United States, its Central Intelligence Agency learned of the pending missile attack and was able to respond with Operation Nonferrous, the only viable, quick-reaction plan it had available. TAKING OUT NORTH KOREA’S SUPER MISSILE (The Axis of Evil & West Coast 11/26) describes in complete detail all of the events that occurred before and after the launch button was depressed at the Lop Nor, China, missile complex on November 26. It is must-read material for anybody deeply concerned about rapidly unfolding, spiraling-out-of-control type of world events that can lead to nuclear war. It is must-read material also for those in love, those who have lost loved ones (esp. an infant), and for those special couples blessed with true conjugal love.

The Poetry of Pop
From Tin Pan Alley to the Beatles to Beyoncé, "Mr. Bradley skillfully breaks down a century of standards and pop songs into their elements to reveal the interaction of craft and art in composition and performance." (The Wall Street Journal) Encompassing a century of recorded music, this pathbreaking book reveals the poetic artistry of popular songs. Pop songs are music first. They also comprise the most widely disseminated poetic expression of our time. Adam Bradley traces the song lyric across musical genres from early twentieth-century Delta blues to mid-century rock 'n' roll to today's hits. George and Ira Gershwin's "Fascinating Rhythm." The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Rihanna's "Diamonds." These songs are united in their exacting attention to the craft of language and sound. Bradley shows that pop music is a poetry that must be heard more than read, uncovering the rhythms, rhymes, and metaphors expressed in the singing voice. At once a work of musical interpretation, cultural analysis, literary criticism, and personal storytelling, this book illustrates how words and music come together to produce compelling poetry, often where we least expect it.
