Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Henry Carlisle has done a superb job. Voyage to the First of December has true distinction . A story that has long lain buried in the annals of the American Navy is the record of the only alleged mutiny-an abortive one at that-in our country's naval history . the story is told with close adherence to the records, but using the novelist's license to probe into the psychology of the actors in this drama, and to fill in the tantalizing spaces between the spare lines of fact.'-The Wall Street JournalDrawn from the facts of a notorious episode in U.S. naval history, the Somers Mutiny Affair of 1842, Carlisle has crafted a stunning novel in the tradition of great stories of the sea. The story of the conflict between eighteen-year-old Midshipman Philip Spencer, son of President Tyler's Secretary of War, and the man of necessities, Alexander Slidell Mackenzie, commander of the Somers, provides an existential excursion to the center of a tragedy in our past which brilliantly illuminates the present.On the first of December in 1842, Philip Spencer was hanged at sea along with two sailors, the three having been charged with leading a conspiracy to capture their ship, the brig of war Somers. Voyage to the First of December re-creates this controversial incident through the journal of the ship's surgeon. Was there a real mutiny which nothing less than execution could check-or had the officers acted in panic, the commander for perhaps darker reasons What happened at sea that the court-martial chose to overlook Voyage to the First of December effortlessly unites the taste of the sea with the relentless drama of men sitting in judgment of one another; a conflict between authority and rebellion, and ultimately one man's quest for meaning.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Several decades in preparation, Sex and Consequences has been read approvingly by educators, parents, and-most recently-a published pediatrician/psychologist.\* It is neither a pick-and-choose encyclopedic approach nor a 'how-to' book. It is a thoughtfully, caringly developed bioethical guide to responsible sexual behavior in the broader context of ethical social behavior toward life fulfillment. Respectful of the idealistic call for abstinence, it realistically examines other models. It is consistent with the guidelines of former Surgeon General David Satcher's 2001 report on sex education, suppressed by the current administration.Young people want guidance in this part of their lives as in other areas. They want openness, honesty, full information, and-above all-an appraisal of consequences, whether desirable or undesirable. This book, then, is an attempt at an ethically realistic approach to biologically oriented sex education, thus to promote trustful and healthy lives. It is intended as much for parents, guidance counselors, and teachers as it is for young readers age eleven into adulthood.\*The following comment is by permission of William B. Carey, M.D., author of Understanding Your Child's Temperament, Macmillan, Inc, 1997, revised edition 2005: 'An excellent presentation. Don't you wish we had it years ago Congratulations!'.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Nikolai found the cottage without trouble, but it was empty. Its occupant, only recently departed, had left the stub of a cigarette, its pungent Turkish scent heavy in the room. He exited the cottage and wandered down the path; it was still soggy from the last rain and here and there revealed the dainty imprint of a small foot.Nikolai followed the stream and paused just short of a narrow pedestrian bridge. A solitary figure was hunched at the crest of a gently arched railing, staring into the water. The location was remote to the point of mystery. The silence was enormous.In all the tens of thousands of fantasized confrontations, this one had never manifested itself. Prescient, the man brought his head up. He looked around, and saw Nikolai. But there was no recognition.Nikolai came closer. The face was much changed. It was bloated; the skin was mottled and pocked by sores. His hair was much thinner, and when he opened his mouth, there was a gap on one side.'Do you bring me the shot ' the Baron asked. The English was serviceable, but multiaccented, the voice cracked, but still imperious.Nikolai replied in German, 'Do you know who I am '.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The 2000 presidential election underscored the reality that outcomes in presidential contests do not necessarily follow from the votes cast by American voters. Under the Electoral College, a range of outcomes is possible, and what once might have seemed utterly remote now is clearly possible.Alexander Belenky has focused directly on what he calls extreme outcomes of our presidential elections. This topic is understudied and underanalyzed. He makes a real contribution in a timely way.Dr. Norman Ornstein, CBS election analyst, American Enterprise InstituteSometimes it takes an 'outsider's eye' to see the U.S. political system clearly, and Alexander Belenky's analysis of the presidential election system holds several remarkable surprises for me.Very few scholars have directly addressed fundamental flaws in the Electoral College's logic. Belenky lays bare several flaws.Prof. David King, Institute of Politics, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard UniversityColorado offers . awarding its nine electoral votes proportionate to the popular vote instead of winner take all . Colorado's 'make your vote count' initiative seeks to put power in the popular vote . Could success in Colorado start a trend . Electoral College experts aren't so certain .Alex Belenky, . who has written three books on the topic, including 'Extreme Outcomes of U.S. Presidential Elections', says Colorado could prompt some states to dump winner-take-all but argues that the Electoral College is 'flexible' and ought to remain in place-at least as a backup.One scenario he favors combines the popular vote and the Electoral College.'If there is at least 50 percent turnout of the electorate, then let the popular vote be decisive', he says, 'If there is not, then rely on the Electoral College'.I like it. It's a good incentive to vote.John Baer, Colo. Offering Electoral Change. Winner Wouldn't 'Take All'. Philadelphia Daily News, Sept. 28, 2004\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*The Electoral College got a brief spate of attention in 2000. Many people realized then for the first time that we have a system in which the president is chosen not by the voters, but by 538 electors. It is a ridiculous setup, which thwarts the will of the majority, distorts presidential campaigning and has the potential to produce a true constitutional crisis.(Abolish The Electoral College, The New York Times, Editorial, August 29, 2004)With another close presidential contest in store, that hardy if decipherable oddity of American Politics, The Electoral College is back in the news. The Constitution requires someone to win a majority of the electoral votes; otherwise, the House chooses a president from the top three finishers.How do you think the public would react to the discovery that in such a contigent election, each state delegation has one vote, regardless of its size-the Democratic majority from California being matched by single Republican member from Delaware . I suspect this whole Electoral College issue is due for serious debate .(David Broder, Electoral College Alternatives Deserve Careful Scrutiny, The Seattle Times, Oct 21, 2004)One more surprising features of the controversy surrounding the 2000 election was its failure to spark any substantiated effort to abolish or reform the Electoral College.The National Commission on Federal Election Reform, headed by former presidents Carter and Ford, decided early on not to even discuss the issue. 'I think it is a waste of time to talk about changing the Electoral College', Carter observed. 'I would predict that 200 years from now, we will still have the Electoral College'.(Alexander Keyssar, Peculiar Institution, Boston Globe, October 17, 2004).…
