By: Don Pendleton

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A CIA asset carrying highly classified information disappears when her plane is shot down over Burma. Two paramilitary rescue teams are sent to track her but are compromised, captured or killed. There's only one person left who might be able to get her—and the intel—back to safety: Mack Bolan. Moving carefully through a maze of inhospitable and dangerous mountain terrain, Bolan must avoid Chinese forces seeking to recover what was stolen from them, and the Indian military, who hope to snatch for themselves the information about China's nuclear missiles. But the Executioner's moves aren't just being monitored; they're being anticipated. Someone on his side is working against him….

No Other Way

By: Don J. Mitchell

JD Koepke and Carlos Herrera gave their plot of revenge a lot of thought and planning. Twenty years in the Marine Corp special forces group prepared them for every kind of dirty fighting except political warfare—the dirtiest of all. When your enemy sits in the highest office in the country, you have to adapt your tactics to the new jungle. Many might question the outcome. You could say it was premeditated and cold-blooded, and you could say it was the wrong thing to do. The "wrong" thing to do…? What would you say if you say if the woman you loved were murdered in cold blood and for no good reason? What would you do if you knew who ordered the killing? What would you do if you felt that the guilty person would be allowed to go free? Maybe you would do the same thing JD did. Maybe you would even think of a better way, but for JD, there was "No Other Way".

Captain Alex MacLean

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Captain Alex MacLean

Jack London's Sea Wolf

By: Don MacGillivray

Alex MacLean was the inspiration for the title character in Jack London's bestselling novel The Sea-Wolf. Originally from Cape Breton, MacLean sailed to the Pacific side of North America when he was twenty-one and worked there for thirty-five years as a sailor and sealer. His achievements and escapades while in the Victoria fleet in the 1880s laid the foundation for his status as a folk hero. But this biography reveals more than the construction of a legend. Don MacGillivray opens a window onto the sealing dispute brought the United States and Britain to the brink of war, with Canadian sealing interests frequently enmeshed in espionage, scientific debate, diplomatic negotiations, and vexing questions of maritime and environmental law.

Offshore Financial Centers, Accounting Services and the Global Economy

By: Don E. Garner,David L. McKee,Yosra AbuAmara McKee

The new global climate of free enterprise has brought with it a proliferation of offshore financial centers that presumably have important roles to play in the emergent global economy. The air of secrecy that appears to pervade the activities of offshore financial centers may well slant or obscure any real understanding of the functions of such centers. The authors investigate the role of major international accounting firms and their services in the processes of business facilitation in the locations that host these centers. By focusing the investigation upon the role of the accounting firms in offshore financial centers, the authors gain a better grasp of the real or potential impacts of the firms in the global economy and in the jurisdictions that host them. Not only do the authors provide a detailed assessment of what the major accounting firms are actually doing in the centers, but they point out what attributes are needed by jurisdictions hoping to succeed as offshore financial centers. The centers included are Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Singapore, and Vanuatu. The authors describe the legal and institutional environments facing business operations in general and the accounting firms in particular in offshore financial centers. By studying these operations, it should show what they are doing in terms of facilitating the international activities that flow through such centers. It should also add to the understanding of the potential that offshore activities have as vehicles for development in small emerging economies. This study should be of interest to a wide range of business disciplines, as well as governmental agencies in advanced and emerging nations, international agencies such as regional development banks, and accountants and the international financial community.

Devoted, Accomplished, Loyal, Ethical

By: Don Swinford

This book tells us that we dont have to look that far to find heroes and inspirations. Just because some make headlines and serve in high places doesnt necessarily make them good people. Look around, as I have, to see why you are as you are. Im proud to be from the grass roots of America. From people who worked in the dirt in an effort not only to make the world a better place but also to make better lives for their children. Struggle was part of life and affected most families, but it also built character and produced individuals who are worthy of remembering and celebrating with a written remembrance.

Cognition and Neural Development

By: Don Tucker,Phan Luu

Scientific research shows how experience shapes the organization of the human brain through mechanisms of neural plasticity. To understand this plasticity, it is important to examine the developmental mechanisms through which the brain grows from a single cell to achieve the complex architecture of the fully developed human brain. Cognition and Neural Development examines the embryonic development of the brain to appreciate the dimensions of developmental momentum that shape the neural and psychological development of our lives. It provides new insights into the evolutionary-developmental basis of human psychological function.

Film editing - history, theory and practice

Looking at the invisible

By: Don Fairservice

The first-ever comprehensive examination of the film editor's craft from the beginning of cinema to the present day. Of all the film-making crafts, editing is the least understood. Using examples drawn from classic film texts, this book clarifies the editor's role and explains how the editing process maximises the effectiveness of the filmed material. Traces the development of editing from the primitive forms of early cinema through the upheavals caused by the advent of sound, to explore the challenges to convention that began in the 1960s and which continue into the twenty-first century. New digital technologies and the dominance of the moving image as an increasingly central part of everyday life have produced a radical rewriting of the rules of audio-visual address. It is not a technical treatise; instructive and accessible, this historically-based insight into filmmaking practice will prove invaluable to students of film and also appeal to a much wider readership.

George Washington

Uniting a Nation

By: Don Higginbotham

In 1776, thirteen colonies declared their independence from Britain. Although they came together to fight a war, the colonies were far from a unified nation. In George Washington: Uniting a Nation, Don Higginbotham argues that Washington's greatest contribution to American life was creating a sense of American unity. In clear and concise prose, Higginbotham shows that as Revolutionary War commander, proponent of the Constitution, and president, George Washington focused on building national identity and erecting institutions to cement the fledgling nation. The first book on Washington to examine exclusively his role in state formation, George Washington is essential reading for scholars, students, and everyone interested in America's first, and most formative, president.
