Twenty-five true tales of a still-wild West from the late 1800s to the mid-20th century.
An original screenplay: Syd Kessel, a genetically engineered assassin protecting a society that had once tried to destroy him. Teri Long, a brilliantly gifted special agent who's single-minded, relentless pursuit of justice has kept her alone at the top. Similar, dangerous and destined. Two soldiers joined by an uneasy alliance, assigned to investigate a series of political murders with ramifications that could decide the fate of an entire galaxy. With no evidence, and no leads to the truth, Kessel and Long quickly find themselves up against omnipotent corporations, government conspiracies and an unstoppable killer who leaves only a message written in blood, and can literally become anyone, or anything with few limitations. A race against time ensues as Kessel and Long must not only find the killer, but the mark whose death could start an interstellar war, and bring chaos to a thousand worlds
This is the story of one soldier- what his life was before World War II, what he went through to survive the savage treatment of the Japanese during the Bataan Death March and 31/2 years as a POW, and his struggle to live a normal life when he returned to his wife and daughter after the defeat of and liberation from his Japanese captors. During World War II, one of twenty-five POWs in Europe died as prisoners of the Germans, while one of three POWs in the South Pacific died as prisoners of the Japanese. For the 200th CA (AA) from New Mexico, this number was one of two.
True stories of the Land of Enchantment's most infamous crooks, culprits, and cutthroats.
This collection of fifty outlaw tales includes well-knowns such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Frank and Jesse James, Belle Starr (and her dad), and Pancho Villa, along with a fair smattering of women, organized crime bosses, smugglers, and of course the usual suspects: highwaymen, bank and train robbers, cattle rustlers, snake-oil salesmen, and horse thieves. Men like Henry Brown and Burt Alvord worked on both sides of the law either at different times of their lives or simultaneously. Clever shyster Soapy Smith and murderer Martin Couk survived by their wits, while the outlaw careers of the dimwitted DeAutremont brothers and bigmouthed Diamondfield Jack were severely limited by their intellect, or lack thereof. Nearly everyone in these pages was motivated by greed, revenge, or a lethal mixture of the two. The most bloodthirsty of the bunch, such as the heartless (and, some might argue, soulless) Annie Cook and trigger-happy Augustine Chacón, surely had evil written into their very DNA.
The philosophy of chemistry has emerged in recent years as a new and autonomous field within the Anglo-American philosophical tradition. With the development of this new discipline, Eric Scerri and Grant Fisher's "Essays in the Philosophy of Chemistry" is a timely and definitive guide to all current thought in this field. This edited volume will serve to map out the distinctive features of the field and its connections to the philosophies of the natural sciences and general philosophy of science more broadly. It will be a reference for students and professional alike. Both the philosophy of chemistry and philosophies of scientific practice alike reflect the splitting of analytical and continental scholastic traditions, and some philosophers are turning for inspiration from the familiar resources of analytical philosophy to influences from the continental tradition and pragmatism. While philosophy of chemistry is practiced very much within the familiar analytical tradition, it is also capable of trail-blazing new philosophical approaches. In such a way, the seemingly disparate disciplines such as the "hard sciences" and philosophy become much more linked.
