After appearing in the Temple at age 12 Jesus was taken to this secluded place in the desert. Walter Parks is an American author from Memphis, Tennessee.

A Prelude to World War III

Aristotle's assertion that in Greek tragedy there is no loftier work than "Oedipus the King" cannot be lightly contradicted. This drama is endued fearfully with nature, as she works against the conscientiousness of measure found in man. Heretofore no translation of this play has been a poem of Sophoclean worthiness and work. The rhythmic stature of this translation runs with the Greek in heat and light. Aristotle was a Greek philosopher who lived between 384–322 BC. A student of Plato, he wrote about a variety of subjects ranging from philosophy to theatre, and from zoology to metaphysics. After Plato’s death, he tutored the future Alexander the Great. Aristotle’s work has had a colossal influence on Western philosophy and science ever since, and is to this day widely studied in many disciplines.

In The Volume

In December of 1992, filming began on a secret Fantastic Four movie. Several months earlier, Bernd Eichinger met with legendary producer and director Roger Corman about making the movie before his rights expired at the end of the year. The movie was finished in 1993 and scheduled for a 1994 release. Before the premiere, Marvel bought the film and the negative was destroyed. The Fantastic Four would never be seen. However, a single copy made during a routine transfer leaked out and found its way to comic conventions and eventually to the internet. Marvel refuses to recognize its existence. Was the film bought up and canceled to preserve the integrity of later Fantastic Four films? Was Marvel unable to bear being cut out of the making of one of its biggest properties? Was the movie just a desperate move on Eichinger’s part to extend his option and give him leverage with Marvel? And what was Corman’s part in all of this? Was he a partner in some larger conspiracy, was he fooled along with the cast and crew into thinking this would be released, or did he have his own hidden agenda? Who knew what when? Drawing from extensive interviews with the cast, crew, and producers, the true story behind the first Fantastic Four movie ever and one of the greatest Hollywood mysteries is finally revealed a quarter of a century later. Shelved. Burned. Hidden. Forsaken.

This memoir tells the story of a Marine rifle platoon commander’s time in the mountainous jungle of the northernmost province of the then Republic of Vietnam.

The heat, the worry, the responsibility, and the daily grind took a toll amid firefights, battles, victory, and loss. Contact with the enemy was frequent, and the chaos of even a small fight was daunting. Davis also examines the political reality of the time, arguing that the war was lost before it began, but that the nation kept fighting and losing soldiers so politicians could look strong and keep their jobs. Looking back at the war, he concludes it was a waste of lives and treasure.

Her own life hangs in the balance, while a mysterious prophecy unfolds.

I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over.

I Am John Galt

Sir Johns philosophy of investing, which is built around the  presumption that investors must have the courage and patience to  ride out economic and market cycles, remains highly relevant today.  In the aftermath of two of the most savage bear markets in living  memory, which twice within a decade have seen stock markets around  the world fall, peak to trough, by 50%, many investors remain  shell-shocked and disillusioned by their losses. Had they followed  a disciplined Templeton approach, we can show that they would not  have fared anything like as badly as many did. Nor, certainly,  would they have become so disheartened.   John Templeton, a perennial optimist produced his best  investment returns during and immediately after bear markets,  underlining that success in investment is just as much about  avoiding losses and preserving what you have gained, as it is about  picking winners. The authors believe it is important for investors  today to appreciate that the events of the past ten years,  including the great global financial crisis of 2008-09, reinforce  the importance of some fundamental truths about investment. One is  that there are always opportunities to make money, even when   no, particularly when ?] the outlook appears particularly  gloomy.

Templeton's Way with Money

You have to do it everyday And I know it will be hard, some days it may feel even impossible But you have to believe in your Self and I promise you'll never Experience setbacks from the Hands of believing in yourself -- Just get it done

You Can't Go Back

The third and final volume of the very best of Ben Bova, creator of the New York Times bestselling Grand Tour science fiction series, six-time Hugo award winner, and past president of the National Space Society—a grand master of science fiction storytelling. These stories span the five decades of Bova’s incandescent career. Here are tales of star-faring adventure, peril, and drama. Here are journeys into the mind-bending landscapes of virtual worlds and alternate realities. Here you’ll also find stories of humanity’s astounding future on Earth, on Mars, and in the Solar System beyond—stories that always get the science right. And Bova’s gathering of deeply realized, totally human characters are the heroic, brave, tricky, sometimes dastardly engineers, astronauts, corporate magnates, politicians, and scientists who will make these futures possible—and those who often find that the problems of tomorrow are always linked to human values, and human failings, that are as timeless as the stars.

The Best of Bova, Vol. 3
