Axel Tressler is indestructible. Born with special energy levels, he is the recipient of an experimental type of armor-a transparent material made with spider webs and titanium nanotubes-from the U.S. Science Agency. With this unique armor, Axel carries out dangerous, top-secret government missions. But during his "normal" life, he's just an ordinary university biology teacher who has a beautiful girlfriend and a hopeful future. When his country calls, Axel is there...even if his girlfriend, Tori, isn't too happy about it. The two have agreed to live together for one year to see if they're compatible before they decide to get married. But it's hard to learn if they are marriage material when Axel is never home!

But things grow more dangerous as he must also deal with the heroin trade in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the long-range missile capabilities of North Korea, and the weapons supply for the Mexican Cartel. Axel must use not only tactical skills in these assignments, but also his advanced knowledge in biology.

In college, Axel majors in biology, studies to become a doctor and earns his degree. While teaching at the university he develops a computer chip that doesn't require a keyboard or monitor and works by vocal recognition. This is placed in his body and allows him to call up various levels of his internal strength. Eventually the government agency his twin brother works for is able to use his strength and technical capabilities to render him indestructible.

Affecting millions of people worldwide, global warming is one of today's most timely and vital topics. It's an issue that's been studied, written about, and debated by scientists and lay people alike. But in Beyond Global Warming, engineer John Durbin Husher argues that we have an even bigger problem on our hands' and shows us what we need to do about it. In Beyond Global Warming, Husher looks at the origins and causes of global warming and delivers compelling answers to the following questions: - What is the earth's history relating to climate changes? What caused those changes? - Is the population increase responsible for the global warming? - Did the addition of oil and fossil fuels to the environment contribute to global warming? Husher suggests that the earth has been consistent and resilient to the many weather events it has experienced since its inception. He maintains that global warming is not related to an overall increase of carbon dioxide in the air, but that it is indicative of a far more pressing energy issue. Beyond Global Warming offers eight creative and powerful solutions for the crisis behind global warming so that, together, we can ease the situation for future generations.
Like every youngster, John Durbin Husher had many heroes growing up, and they continued to inspire him into adulthood. If he saw Muhammad Ali knock out an opponent, he was thrilled. When he learned about Winston Churchill and how he stood up to the Nazis, he knew what it meant to be a leader.And of course, when he heard John F. Kennedy speak, he felt proud to be an American. Many of the dozens of heroes profiled in Heroes Afar come from the sports world, but politicians, scientists, and actors also encouraged Husher, and he artfully reveals why these great men and women were such an inspiration to him and so many others. Filled with lessons on leadership and each individual's effect on history, this intriguing work is one man's tribute to some of the world's greatest heroes. For those seeking to learn more about the past and the people who have influenced our lives, Heroes Afar is the perfect read.
