Call to Arms

A Civil War Tale of Trauma, Tragedy, Triumph and True Love

By: Claude Wayne

Is Call To Arms destined to be a movie? It was 1860, that year before the war, when Johnny, a thirty-year-old eligible bachelor from Ohio, traveled to South Carolina to help his uncle run a small plantation and fell in love with Molly, a Southern belle from Charleston. Their plans to marry are abruptly interrupted by her jealous former fiance at the outbreak of the Civil War. Their struggle to return to each others arms is filled with action, adventure, terror, charm, compassion, intrigue, suspense, and unceasing desire. The story has all of the elements one would expect in a movie produced by Mel Gibson, including the plot, character, humor, history, patriotism, passion, romance, and spirituality for which the highly successful actor-producer-director has come to be admired. Call to Arms is a novel surpassing even the greatest Civil War classics for total entertainment value. Reviews "I was totally stunned at how well it was written and how good the storyline was. I couldnt put it down to go to sleep." A connoisseur of historical and western novels "A valuable document that will historically inform... contains powerful truths to fortfy our souls, stimulate our minds, and provide a path to ease a troubled spirit." Anonymous publisher "Im impressed with how much imagination went into the story. And what great characters... fun and delightful. There isnt a dull page in it." A "Gone With the Wind" buff "Thank you for reminding me of the important things in life." An army reserve captain and Civil War student

An American Family History

A Memoir

By: Claude Phipps

This story begins in 1812 with the birth of John M. Phipps, who had become a mysterious recluse in Shenandoah, Iowa, by age ninety-three. His neighbors assumed he had something to hide in his past. Because he was born in the same Virginia county as the father of J. D. Rockefeller, some Shenandoans thought they might be one and the same. It may have been that all he had to hide was that he joined neither side in the Civil War. It was known that he swapped valuable land near Independence, Missouri, for a place in Farragut, Iowa, in order to move his eldest boys, Matthew and Preston, away from Missouri because he feared they would join the James Gang. Later, in Kansas, when the railroad cut his land in two, Matthew built a brick wall across the tracks. After that, he had to hide for a while. Matthew and Preston were part of the 1893 land rush into the Cherokee Strip of Oklahoma. Preston was later robbed and killed. We then follow the author's maternal family, the DeWitts of Grant City, Missouri, who were preachers, engineers, and doctors. The two families joined in the marriage of Claude Phipps and Deva DeWitt at the bottom of the Depression in 1932. Claude, who had been promised an art department job at the Marland Oil refinery in Ponca City, Oklahoma, had to accept manual labor when J. P. Morgan bought the company, to keep the family going. Morgan called it Cities Service. Claude's college training was in journalism, and he quickly found this field wouldn't support a family. With grim determination over the next twenty-five years, Claude and Deva saw to it that their son Claude Jr. went to MIT. Part 2 of the story follows Claude Jr. through the Summer of Love in San Francisco and ends in Santa Fe. It's a heroic story that you will enjoy.

Josephine Baker

The Hungry Heart

By: Jean-Claude Baker,Chris Chase

Based on twenty years of research and thousands of interviews, this authoritative biography of performer Josephine Baker (1906-1975) provides a candid look at her tempestuous life. Born into poverty in St. Louis, the uninhibited chorus girl became the sensation of Europe and the last century's first black sex symbol. A heroine of the French Resistance in World War II, she entranced figures as diverse as de Gaulle, Tito, Castro, Princess Grace, two popes, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Yet Josephine was also, as one critic put it, "a monster who made Joan Crawford look like the Virgin Mary." Jean-Claude Baker's book also reveals her outbursts that resulted in lasting feuds, her imperious treatment of family and entourage members, and her ambivalent attitudes concerning her ethnic background. Reconciling Josephine's many personas—Jazz-age icon, national hero of France, proponent of Civil Rights, mother of children from across the globe—Josephine: The Hungry Heart gives readers the inside story on a star unlike any other before or since.

It Took Heroes

A Cavalry Chaplain's Memoir of Vietnam

By: Claude Newby

The soldiers in 1st Cav fought some of Vietnam’s fiercest battles— and Chaplain Newby was there right beside them. For grunts in Vietnam, the war was a jungle hell of sudden death, endless suffering, and supreme courage. For Chaplain Newby, it was an honor to be chosen to share it with them. In enemy-held highlands and fetid jungles, Newby regularly accompanied patrols, company-sized missions, chopper strikes, and air rescues—sharing the men’s dreams, their fears, and their dying moments. Searing, brutally accurate, and dedicated to the truth, Claude Newby’s account of brave men fighting a tragic war captures that time in all its horror and heroism. Newby doesn’t shrink from exposing the war’s darker side; his quiet description of the murderous events that came to be known as “the Mao incident” proves that justice can prevail. Ultimately, Newby’s riveting stories reveal the tremendous valor and sacrifices of ordinary Americans facing constant danger, shattering losses, and an increasingly indifferent nation. His book is a shining tribute to those who fought, those who died, and those who came home to a country determined to forget them.

Correct Mispronunciations of South Carolina Names

By: Claude Neuffer,Irene Neuffer

Americans have a fine tradition of spelling words one way and pronouncing them another. While every region of the country has contributed to this tradition, South Carolinians have elevated the practice to an art. A classic South Carolina example is the name Huger, which is pronounced YOO-JEE by natives. This dictionary includes some 400 South Carolina names, their peculiar pronunciations, and brief stories about their origins. Many folks hailing from other parts may consider these pronunciations just plain wrong, but rest assured South Carolinians will roll their eyes when those folks ask for directions to HUE-GER Street!

From Additive Manufacturing to 3D/4D Printing 1

From Concepts to Achievements

By: Jean-Claude André

In 1984, additive manufacturing represented a new methodology for manipulating matter, consisting of harnessing materials and/or energy to create three-dimensional physical objects. Today, additive manufacturing technologies represent a market of around 5 billion euros per year, with an annual growth between 20 and 30%. Different processes, materials and dimensions (from nanometer to decameter) within additive manufacturing techniques have led to 70,000 publications on this topic and to several thousand patents with applications as wide-ranging as domestic uses. Volume 1 of this series of books presents these different technologies with illustrative industrial examples. In addition to the strengths of 3D methods, this book also covers their weaknesses and the developments envisaged in terms of incremental innovations to overcome them.
