From Tim Brandt to Shaking Arts: The first 10 years of an unexpected journey with Parkinson’s through art By: Tim Brandt Unpredictable, inspiring, entertaining, realistic, and sometimes emotional are words used to describe author Tim Brandt’s voice. His artwork is like how his mind is now, as a result of the Parkinson's, all over the place. One moment, he may be completing a series of joyful, dancing pieces, and then suddenly begins to create a new, raw, emotionally charged piece. The art within these pages is Brandt’s way of coping with his Parkinson's disease. From Tim Brandt to Shaking Arts tells his story of progressing with the disease while embracing changes and finding a new meaning to the world around you. We are not defined by our illnesses, but by what we do with what we are given. He hopes his words and artwork provides a connection and inspiration to even one person who reads his tale and ingests his art.

It's Every Cop's Secret Nightmare Seattle Police Detective Joe Dunbar knew he'd screwed up big time, maybe even fatally. He swallowed hard, followed by a deep breath to steady himself. He'd managed to dodge the gunfire coming from the dark and nearly derelict house on Queen Anne. But he was trapped, now. He had already called for dispatch for backup. Shouldn't they should be here by now? Something cold settled in his stomach. They weren't coming, he thought. He had nightmares like this. They weren't coming. He considered his options, and then he sighed: hell of a thing, when a cop had to call a reporter for backup because his own had abandoned him. "Mac," he said softly into his phone. "It's Joe Dunbar. I need help." Book 4 in the series of Mac Davis thrillers. Out May 17, 2022.
"Despite dramatic social transformations in the United States during the last 150 years, the South has remained staunchly conservative. Southerners are more likely to support Republican candidates, gun rights, and the death penalty, and southern whites harbor higher levels of racial resentment than whites in other parts of the country. Why haven't these sentiments evolved or changed? Deep Roots shows that the entrenched political and racial views of contemporary white southerners are a direct consequence of the region's slaveholding history, which continues to shape economic, political, and social spheres. Today, southern whites who live in areas once reliant on slavery--compared to areas th...
CRUISERS offers and insider's look at the latest and greatest cruiser bicycle styles and designs, and provides tips on how people can trick out their own bikes to proclaim their individuality. It also tells the unique history and development of cruiser bikes, from their pre-World War II origins to the popular California beach bikes of the 1970s to today's retro-chic bikes. Without style, a bike is just a bike, a means of getting from here to there. With style, the bikes people ride become a defining stamp of who they are. The modern cruiser-with its oversized balloon tires, solid steel framing, shock-absorbing suspension, and custom colors and modifications-is a testament to individual style. So saddle up in the seat of a classic bike and rediscover the smooth rolling freedom.
The main task of the classical architect is project planning, from basic evaluation to design all the way to execution planning, the call for bids, construction management, and completion of the building. This volume explains the individual planning steps in context, presents the networking of the various specialists involved in the project, and offers a clear and practical description of the various levels of organization. Themes are - Planning steps from basic evaluation to handing over the keys, - Project participants (including the authorities, specialized planners, construction firms, etc.), - Organizing the plan (sequence, what’s needed when?, work organization, documentation), - Coordination of the participants.
In the years between the historic first moon landing by Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969, and his death at age 82 on August 25, 2012, Neil Armstrong received hundreds of thousands of cards and letters from all over the world, congratulating him, praising him, requesting pictures and autographs, and asking him what must have seemed to him to be limitless—and occasionally intrusive—questions. Of course, all the famous astronauts received fan mail, but the sheer volume Armstrong had to deal with for more than four decades after his moon landing was staggering. Today, the preponderance of those letters—some 75,000 of them—are preserved in the archives at Purdue University in West Lafayette, In...
