When two dysfunctional men with divergent backgrounds cross paths, they soon learn they must fight for each other and their country. Dr. Butcher, a physician, depressed and suicidal since the untimely death of his wife, accidentally runs down a disabled homeless man on the street. His victim is named Blade, a decorated Gulf War veteran and a prosthetic-wearing amputee. He chooses to wander the streets as he struggles to recover from PTSD. Butcher and Blade's fateful accident occurs as a two million dollar armored car heist is going down. Thwarting an attempt by the gang of thieves to eliminate witnesses, the two grab the money and escape. They are pursued by the ruthless gang, which they discover is a sleeper cell of al Qaeda terrorists bent on attacking Los Angeles on the tenth anniversary of 9-11. Butcher and Blade gather an ill-equipped band of broken soldiers and mercenaries and are forced to rely on each other and inherent skills when pressed into service to mitigate attacks against Americans on their own soil.

Members of an all-women support group are determined to put an end to the killing cycle fueled by Charlie. These diligent women consolidate resources and power with law enforcement to try and make sure that more bodies won’t surface anymore in Brush Creek. Will Charlie meet up with the specter of death when he decides to go too far? It’s a serious race against time to end a psychopath’s homicidal escapades. [mehr]

Walter Michael Miller, Jr. (January 23, 1923 – January 9, 1996) was an American science fiction writer. Today he is primarily known for A Canticle for Leibowitz, the only novel he published in his lifetime. Prior to its publication he was a prolific writer of short stories. Miller was born in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Educated at the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas, he worked as an engineer. During World War II, he served in the Army Air Corps as a radioman and tail gunner, flying more than fifty bombing missions over Italy. He took part in the bombing of the Benedictine Abbey at Monte Cassino, which proved a traumatic experience for him. Joe Haldeman reported that Miller "has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for 30 years before it had a name", and that Miller displayed a photograph he had taken of Ron Kovic prominently in his living room.[1] After the war, Miller converted to Catholicism. He married Anna Louise Becker in 1945 and they had four children. He lived with science-fiction writer Judith Merril in 1953. [mehr]

»Je früher man die passende Entspannungstechnik für sich findet, desto leichter und schneller findet man den eigenen Weg zu innerer Ruhe und Gelassenheit im Leben.« (O. Fritz) Problemstellung des Buches Stress ist eine Gefahr für Deine Gesundheit, Glück und Erfolg! Immer mehr Männer und Frauen im deutschsprachigen Raum leiden unter den körperlichen und geistig-seelischen Folgen von Stress. Dabei kann es jeden treffen. Vom Schüler und Studenten über den Beamten und Unternehmer bis hin zum Rentner und Erwerbslosen. Stress drückt sich in körperlichen sowie geistig-seelischen Symptomen aus, wie zum Beispiel: innerer Unruhe, Konzentrationsschwäche, Stottern, Schweißausbrüchen, Magen- und Darmbeschwerden, Kopf-, Nacken- und Rückenschmerzen sowie chronischer Erschöpfung. Stress ist auch für den Anstieg von Herz- und Kreislauferkrankungen, Bluthochdruck und erhöhten Cholesterinwerten verantwortlich. Erst recht für die wachsende Anzahl von Männern und Frauen, die unter Burnout und Depression leiden. Zielsetzung des Buches Das Ziel des Buches ist es, die Leserschaft zum einen über die Risiken des Stressphänomens aufzuklären und zum anderen über die Chancen der Stressreduzierung durch Entspannungstechniken zu informieren. Dabei richtet sich das Sachbuch an Männer und Frauen, die sich der wachsenden Belastung des Alltags- und Berufslebens bewusst sind und leichtverständliche sowie hilfreiche Informationen suchen, damit Stress gar nicht erst zum Problem wird. Inhalt des Buches In diesem Buch geht es um die Suche nach der optimalen Entspannungstechnik gegen Stress. Dabei wird zunächst das Stressphänomen betrachtet und über die hiermit verknüpften Risiken berichtet. Daran knüpft die skizzenhafte Vorstellung anerkannter Entspannungsmethoden an. Diese Methoden werden nach dem Fragen-Antwort-Prinzip vorgestellt. In dieser Beziehung sei angemerkt, dass der Autor diese Entspannungsverfahren selbstständig erlernte und über einen längeren Zeitraum erprobte, um eine eigene Einschätzung des jeweiligen Verfahrens vornehmen zu können. Im nächsten Schritt folgen praktische Tipps, die sich leicht im Alltagsleben umsetzen lassen. Abgerundet wird der Band mit einer abschließenden persönlichen Bewertung sowie Literatur- und Quellenangaben. [mehr]

This is my main genre of poetry, challenging issues of social standings, Politics and the moulding of human behaviour. My pieces sway towards punk and anarchist views but I am not a believer of just saying something or doing something just to put two fingers up to an establishment. The pieces in this book are my views and a strong sway to allow people to be themselves as well as celebrating their own creativity and self. This is a book that will expand over time. [mehr]
