Robert Welch Herrick (April 21, 1868 – December 23, 1938) was a novelist who was part of a new generation of American realists. His novels deal with the turbulence of industrialized society and the turmoil it can create in sensitive, isolated people. He was also briefly acting-Governor of the United States Virgin Islands in 1935. Herrick was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, April 21, 1868, and attended Harvard University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1890. In 1894 he married Harriett Peabody Emery with whom he had a son Phillip Abbot Herrick and daughters Alice Freeman Palmer Herrick and Harriet Peabody Herrick. He later taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1905 to 1923, he was a professor of literature at the University of Chicago, during which time he wrote thirteen novels. Among those considered to be his finest was Web of Life (1900). [mehr]

In the year 1588; with the blessing of the Pope, the Spanish Armada sets out from Iberia to invade England. This is the story of a young man's coming of age. Of first love in Lisbon, as he prepares to sail with his father on the huge fleet of ships assembled by King Phillip II of Spain, then a close encounter with death on the high seas, as they first battle the English, then find themselves pitted against Atlantic summer storms in unknown waters as the Armada tries to sail round the top of Scotland. It is also the story of their wrecked ship, the El Gran Grifón and its crew. Surviving, in northern waters, when so many other Armada crews perished on the coast of Ireland, these men owed much of their fate to a remarkable map,the Carta Marina, created by the young man's grandfather.

Justice ist ein merkwürdiger Abiturient. Niemand weiß wirklich viel über den Mann mit der Zwangsneurose. Er hingegen weiß alles über seine Opfer. Er kennt ihren Alltag, den perfekten Zeitpunkt, sie zu töten, und die abscheuliche Tat, mit der sie ihren Tod überhaupt verdient haben. Mit jeder Rache des Schwachen wird die Welt ein wenig besser – wenn es diesen widerlichen Nebeneffekt nicht gäbe. Mit jeder Rache scheinen Justices Freundschaften umso gefährlicher für ihn zu sein. Sein bester Freund, Phillip, hatte als Journalist alles publizierte über den Fall in den Fingern. Seine beste Freundin, Alice, weist ein viel zu hohes detektivisches Talent auf. Wenn die Beiden nur ein wenig mehr auf seine Sprache achten würde und die in den Briefen, die er an den Tatorten hinterlässt, wäre es Justices Untergang. Als Serienkiller sollte man wohl lieber keine Freunde haben. Spätestens als Justice schließlich selbst Botschaften erhält, die mit „Die Rache des Schwachen“ unterzeichnet sind, ist er sich sicher.

Or that's at least how Daisy puts it. 1st up you have Daisy's brother Phillip. All star in football and extremly protective of his sister Daisy. Any guy that talks to her to him is a threat. He has dirty blound hair like his sister and green eyes like her as well. They could pass as twins if it wasn't for their age diffrence. Lonnie the down to earth and loves nature type of guy. With Jet Black hair and light brown warming eyes. Then who could forget Jerry. Mister Jokester. He's funny and will turn anything into a joke which gets him in trouble alot becuase Daisy will throw a punch at him or smack him kick him or anything else that will cuase him phyiscal pain. Richie. Hmmph what can you really say about Richie? He has red hair and deep baby blue eyes. Though this kid is obbsessed with action figures and comic books. Poor little nerdy Richie. Next in the jerk line is Bradley. Black & Green Hair... Dark blue eyes and quite a snappy attitude if I must say. All he ever says is how much he hates the world! Jerimey is actaully Jerry's brother which is a total shock! He has blound hair and brown eyes. Unlike his brother he's so so sooo Serious. Nothing is funny and we haven't heard him laugh since forever! Serious and boringness will get you no where my friend... *Trumpet Solo!!* Last but not least is Peter. My black brotha!! Hey!! (Not trying to be raises!!) He has light hazel eyes black hair but not as black as Lonnie's. Peter is like Phillip always caring for Daisy. I guess you could say he's like the mother of our little pack. Even if he is a guy. The important thing here is that no matter what Daisy does she's just one of the guys. The only problem with that is the questions is if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ~Warning Strong use Of words!~ [mehr]

Rub a dub dub Three men in a tub And who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker The candlestickmaker And all of them lost at sea. Aboard the spy ship U.S.S. Argosy in the war-tossed waters off the coast of Vietnam, three young American sailors form an unlikely bond. Each has fled an America they were raised to love but somehow no longer understand in the tumult of the late 1960s. When forced to choose whether to face combat or stay and fight the war in the streets, they sign up for a war that reflected the conflict that raged inside each of them. The one thing of which they were certain was that the only people in the world that they could depend on were each other. In the tradition of Tim O’Brien’s "The Things They Carried," Denis Johnson’s "Tree of Smoke," and Phillip Caputo’s "A Rumor of War," "The Candlestickmaker" recalls a Vietnam that seared disenchantment into a post World War II generation who learned to question authority at all levels. A coming-of-age story bookended by shocking revelations that shatter illusions about patriotism, government and the nature of modern warfare, "The Candlestickmaker" takes readers on a voyage that will guarantee they never read the Mother Goose nursery rhyme in quite the same way again.

William Hickling Prescott (May 4, 1796 – January 28, 1859) was an American historian and Hispanist, who is widely recognized by historiographers to have been the first American scientific historian. Despite suffering from serious visual impairment, which at times prevented him from reading or writing for himself, Prescott became one of the most eminent historians of 19th century America. He is also noted for his eidetic memory. After an extensive period of study, during which he sporadically contributed to academic journals, Prescott specialized in late Renaissance Spain and the early Spanish Empire. His works on the subject, The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic (1837), The History of the Conquest of Mexico (1843), A History of the Conquest of Peru (1847) and the unfinished History of the Reign of Phillip II (1856–1858) have become classic works in the field, and have had a great impact on the study of both Spain and Mesoamerica. During his lifetime, he was upheld as one of the greatest living American intellectuals, and knew personally many of the leading political figures of the day, in both the United States and Britain. Prescott has become one of the most widely translated American historians, and was an important figure in the development of history as a rigorous academic discipline.[3][4] Historians admire Prescott for his exhaustive, careful, and systematic use of archives, his accurate recreation of sequences of events, his balanced judgments and his lively writing style. He was primarily focused on political and military affairs, largely ignoring economic, social, intellectual, and cultural forces that in recent decades historians have focused on. Instead, he wrote narrative history, subsuming unstated causal forces in his driving storyline.[5] [mehr]
