When a Kryogenetics engineer working at a military facility discovers how to revitalize people to remain at their present age, and remain there for 100 years at a time, all hell breaks loose. Military, Mafia, and space aliens, greedy rich government persons, there comes into being the race of who gets the secret first. The good guys against the bad, or so it seems. The engineer and his wife are kidnapped by paid mercenaries recruited by doublecrossing persons wanting this information for themselves and stand to make billions and billions of dollars. One man with a secret. An adventure follows that will span the United States, Europe, the fringes of outer space, and space aliens, and that will tax the ingenuity of his mom and dad to get them free from their glacial entombment.

Masked

The Life of Anna Leonowens, Schoolmistress at the Court of Siam

By: Alfred Habegger

A brave British widow goes to Siam and—by dint of her principled and indomitable character—inspires that despotic nation to abolish slavery and absolute rule: this appealing legend first took shape after the Civil War when Anna Leonowens came to America from Bangkok and succeeded in becoming a celebrity author and lecturer. Three decades after her death, in the 1940s and 1950s, the story would be transformed into a powerful Western myth by Margaret Landon’s best-selling book Anna and the King of Siam and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical The King and I. But who was Leonowens and why did her story take hold? Although it has been known for some time that she was of Anglo-Indian parentage and that her tales about the Siamese court are unreliable, not until now, with the publication of Masked, has there been a deeply researched account of her extraordinary life. Alfred Habegger, an award-winning biographer, draws on the archives of five continents and recent Thai-language scholarship to disclose the complex person behind the mask and the troubling facts behind the myth. He also ponders the curious fit between Leonowens’s compelling fabrications and the New World’s innocent dreams—in particular the dream that democracy can be spread through quick and easy interventions. Exploring the full historic complexity of what it once meant to pass as white, Masked pays close attention to Leonowens’s midlevel origins in British India, her education at a Bombay charity school for Eurasian children, her material and social milieu in Australia and Singapore, the stresses she endured in Bangkok as a working widow, the latent melancholy that often afflicted her, the problematic aspects of her self-invention, and the welcome she found in America, where a circle of elite New England abolitionists who knew nothing about Southeast Asia gave her their uncritical support. Her embellished story would again capture America’s imagination as World War II ended and a newly interventionist United States looked toward Asia.

A Biographical Dictionary of Dark Age Britain

England, Scotland, and Wales, C. 500-c. 1050

By: Ann Williams,Alfred P. Smyth,D. P. Kirby

This book provides a unique work of reference cutting across ancient cultural divisions within Dark Age Britain, and it enables the reader to follow the careers of people as far apart in time and place as the early Kentish kings and Viking earls of Orkney. Entries range from well-known characters such as Merlin, Alfred the Great, the historian Bede and the Danish warlord Cnut to the more obscure Pictish kings and abbots of Iona. Each entry is presented in a succinct and compact form in an easily accessible A to Z format. Here experts on a multitude of early historic peoples in Britain have brought together a dossier of scholarly findings on all those whose lives can be reconstructed from an examination of early source material, incorporating the very latest research. Englishmen from Wessex to Northumbria, Welshmen and Cornishmen, Northern Britons, Scots and Picts, Scandinavians from the Danelaw and York as well as from the Viking earldom of Orkney and the Southern Isles, all take their place in this wide-ranging survey of the people of Dark Age Britain. This detailed work of reference, supplemented by chronological and genealogical tables, will be an essential tool for all those with an interest in Dark Age Britain.

The United States Army in China, 1900-1938

A History of the 9th, 14th, 15th and 31st Regiments in the East

By: Alfred Emile Cornebise

A study of U.S.-Chinese relations involving the U.S. Army, this work focuses at the personnel level on the Army's service in China. While studies have been published of the U.S. Marines' and U.S. Navy's involvement in China, little attention has been given the Army's missions in this theater. Operations in China were a key part of the history and traditions of the 9th, 14th, 15th and 31st Regiments, whose coats of arms still feature dragons as symbols of their service there. Many who served in the 15th in China went on to impressive careers as general officers, prompting one soldier to ask "what other infantry regiment of those days can boast of such an alumni list?" Also covered is the 31st Regiments' involvement in Shanghai during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the prelude of the coming of World War II in Asia.

Multiple Nationality And International Law

By: Alfred Michael Boll

This book is a comprehensive overview of multiple nationality in international law, and contains a survey of current State practice covering over 75 countries. It examines the topic in light of the historical treatment of multiple nationality by States, international bodies and commentators, setting out the general trends in international law and relations that have influenced nationality. While the book's purpose is not to debate the merits of multiple nationality, but to present actual state practice, it does survey arguments for and against multiple nationality, and considers States' motivations in adopting a particular attitude toward the topic. As a reference work, the volume includes a detailed examination of the nature of nationality under international law and the concepts of nationality and citizenship under municipal law. The survey of State practice also constitutes a valuable resource for practitioners.

Fifty Years in Sing Sing

A Personal Account, 1879-1929

By: Alfred Conyes

Written more than eighty years ago, Fifty Years in Sing Sing is the personal account of Alfred Conyes (1852–1931), who worked as a prison guard and then keeper at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York, from 1879 to 1929. This unpublished memoir, dated 1930, was found among his granddaughter's estate by his great-granddaughter Penelope Kay Jarrett. Near the end of his life, Conyes told his story to family member Alfred Van Buren Jr., relating, in detail, harrowing and humorous accounts of what prison life was like from his perspective and how prison conditions changed over the course of a half century. The book covers prison hardship, cruel punishments deemed appropriate at the time, daring and clever escapes, the advent of death by electricity, Prohibition, doughboys, and prison reform.

Vatican Impeachment

Vatican Impeachment

By: Alfred Lenarciak

Democratic elections are a privilege of the people to choose their leaders in order to govern them through various levels of public administration. Elections are polarizing exercises of the political powers competing for popular votes, presenting their programs which are expected to be fulfilled. Every candidate must stand in front of the people demanding their approval, meaning votes, and the majority form the government. Democracy has been known for three millennia and today represents the most popular form of government""with one exception. There is a country where elections are held in one room behind closed doors and only 120 men vote to choose one of them to become the most absolute ruler in the world. This country is the Vatican, and the absolute ruler is the Pope. He doesn't only rule the smallest country in the world, with only 451 citizens, but also 1.3 billion Roman Catholics disseminated across the world. While not hereditary, the papal dynasty has been in existence for two thousand years, and the present vicar of Christ sitting on Saint Peter's throne is the 266th. This is the longest reigning dynasty without interruption. The Catholic Church today is in crisis and very divided, trying to regain back the followers who are drifting away from the doctrine of the Pope. Most Catholics are confused if the Pope is their spiritual leader or a politician with radical ideology. He is implementing a revolution in the Church institutions following his own doctrine of purging those who disagree with him without forgiveness. There is no transparency, accountability, consultation, or any form of collective decision making. The two-thousand-year-old institution is overflooding with extremely serious problems covered up with the Pope's knowledge and approval. The majority of the cardinals who elected the current Pope in March 2013 sincerely regret it and now are waiting for a miracle to end of this pontificate. How to elect the righteous one? Could an American cardinal be elected Pope? History teaches us about unpopular monarchs being removed by revolutions. In democratic systems, however, leaders are removed by impeachment. Could the Pope be impeached? Is he just a man and a sinner or a superior human elevated to Saint Peter's throne? Who could have the courage to change history? Should only the Pope be impeached or the entire Vatican monarchy reformed in order to avoid self-destructive revolution? This is happening now. This story brings the reader behind the Vatican gates protected by Swiss Guards' halberds and discovers the intrigues, hypocrisies, ruthless politics, cronyism, corruptions, cover-ups, and clashes of various interests. "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures" (RW Emerson).

Exploring New York's SoHo

By: Alfred Pommer,Eleanor Winters

This historical guide reveals the events, architecture and personalities that make SoHo one of Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods. SoHo—short for South of Houston—is a world-famous tourist destination known for its high-end fashion boutiques, innovative restaurants, and gorgeous loft apartments. But these modern luxuries are intermingled with a rich history that can still be seen in the neighborhood’s architecture and Belgian block side streets. In fact, the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. SoHo’s beautiful old buildings tell a fascinating story of urban development, decline and regeneration. It was once the center of New York's show business world and its most infamous red-light district. The richest and poorest Manhattanites walked these streets, as well as historic notables such as John Jacob Astor, Harry Houdini, Aaron Burr and P.T. Barnum. In this colorful history, local authors Alfred Pommer and Eleanor Winters reveal these and other stories of an ever-changing SoHo.
