Описание: After being ravaged by famine, genocide and 400 years of war, an ancient city-state known as Panteria has united the planet bringing peace for most, and unrest for others.

Rebels, Terrorists, or Freedom Fighters--The labels never matter. Good or Bad, they threaten the neoteric status quo. With secrets to protect at all costs, genetically and bio-mechanically enhanced soldiers are enlisted to combat all threats with extreme ... diligence.

Nearing the end of thirtieth century, an unparalleled killer in the Army of Mutants escapes the brutality and seeks a life of peace. Jim St. John--recruited, trained and enhanced by the government as a boy to be the ultimate soldier--vows to stop the bloodshed, unearthing a civilization buried by catastrophe for over 800 years. Under St. John's command, the ultra-soldiers of Crystal Mountain must rise above the surface to exact violent justice on those who threaten the nascent liberty. But nothing worth dying for comes easy.

Hell, when it's all said and done, the Executioners may have to forget about saving the world and simply save themselves.

Steel yourself for the first volume of the Panteria Chronicles ... Fallen.

Описание: Mexico, Nation in Transit examines how the Mexican migrant population in the United States is represented in the Mexican national im-aginary--on both sides of the border. Exploring representations of migration in literature, film, and music produced in the past twenty years, Christina Sisk argues that Mexico is imagined as a nation that exists outside of its territorial borders and into the United States. Although some Americans feel threatened by the determined resilience of Mexican national identity among immigrants, Sisk counters that the persis-tence of immigrant Mexicans' identities with their homeland--with the cities, states, regions, and nation where they were born or have family--is not in opposition to their identity as Americans.

Sisk's transnational investigation moves easily across the US-Mexico border, analyzing films made on both sides, literature de la frontera, Mexican rock music, migrant narratives, and texts written by second- and third-generation immigrants. Included are the perspectives of those who left Mexico, those who were left behind, and the children who travel back "home." Sisk discovers that the loss of Mexicans to the United States through emigration has had an effect on Mexico similar to the impact of the perceived Mexican invasion of the United States.

Spanning the social sciences and the humanities, Mexico, Nation in Transit poses a new transnational alternative to the postnational view that geopolitical borders are being erased by the forces of migration and globalization, and the nationalist view that borders must be strictly enforced. It shows that borders, like identities, are not easy to locate precisely.

Описание:

Timothy Sisk presents a new way of conceiving the transition to democracy in South Africa. Unlike authors such as Horowitz and Lijphart, who have sought to prescribe an ideal set of post-apartheid political institutions, Sisk asks what kinds of institutions show signs of actually emerging, given recent history and present realities. He treats the problem of constructing a democratic post-apartheid society in South Africa as part of a larger condition common to societies deeply divided by ethnic, religious, racial, or national discord. Though its profound cleavages of race and class make it a "least likely" candidate for conflict resolution through democratization, Sisk argues that the centripetal pull on moderate politicians of all parties was greater than the seemingly natural polarizing trend in a divided society. This centripetal pull led to the adoption of an interim constitution in 1993 after protracted negotiations. An American Fulbright scholar sent to South Africa after the end of the 21-year rupture of official scholarly exchanges between the two countries, Sisk analyzes the changes in the strategic calculations of the white minority government, the black liberation movement, and other parties over the course of negotiations since 1990. He concludes that intermittent upsurges of violence often reinforced, rather than reduced, the incentives of leaders on both sides to negotiate a settlement that would avoid mutually damaging outcomes. Drawing on extensive interviews with political figures, as well as other primary and secondary sources, Sisk finds reason for hope that a democratic social contract can evolve, balancing majority rule with minority representation and guaranteeing equal economic opportunity and social justice.

Описание:

Called "A Romance Novel With Machine Guns."

Newly appointed Director of Domestic Terrorism for the Secret Service, Retired Navy SEAL Maxwell "Max" Mason must now tread the hostile waters of the political world while keeping the United States safe from terrorists wanting to do harm on our very shores.

After a somewhat successful mission in Boston caused serious injuries to both of his teammates as well as the notoriety they all received from Max's unorthodox methods, Max must act quickly and on his own when a hospital takeover by armed men puts surgical patient and newfound love Karen Tyler in harm's way... AGAIN.

Max must step up AGAIN to take on a pair of homicidal brothers, a highly trained Czech special forces team, the Russian mob, and a sadistic old enemy he has been searching for for over twenty years...all while his new girlfriend is in surgery and has no idea what is going on around her.

With the help from his SEAL teammate and tech guru Jordan "Jordy" Alexander, as well as several new friends and allies, Max has to take on a highly feared rich Russian mobster that runs his Little Russia community with an iron fist, whose obsession for money, power, control, family revenge, and keeping a dark secret quiet has Max doing everything he can to stop the Russian's vendetta in order to get Tyler out of danger.

Having to choose between his new love or his badge and gun, Max Mason understands that he has several highly trained targets standing between him and everyone's safety and must get a "PERFECT SCORE" to keep everyone and Tyler alive.

Описание: Contemporary neuroscience has made remarkable strides in our understanding of the developing adolescent brain--an area of study previously reserved for developmental psychologists and pediatric endocrinologists. With an eye toward the history and future of the field, Coming of Age takes a look
at the research that brought about this paradigm shift. Current advances in neuroscience have changed the way we think about everything--from how drugs and stress influence adolescent development to how hormones cause differing developmental trajectories among females and males.

Sisk and Romeo guide students and non-specialist researchers alike through the basic science of brain and behavioral development. Important social and ethical questions are raised including: Why does puberty continue to occur at a younger age? Why does teenage behavior embrace risk and volatility?
When does adolescent development end? And how should our understanding of adolescent development affect the juvenile justice system?

Описание:

We live in a world full of two kinds of people. The ones that feel like they are dying inside, or the ones that walk around with true life flowing from them. In this book we look through some of the characteristics of both the living and the spiritually dead, and what should be the mission of those who are alive and well in a world that seems to be losing life as it goes. Hopefully this will challenge you, encourage you, and draw you closer to Jesus and His purpose for your life.
