Inside the Lines

By: Earl Derr Biggers,Robert Welles Ritchie

‘Inside the Lines’ (1915) is a gripping novel by American writers Earl Derr Biggers and Robert Wells Ritchie. On the eve of the First World War as preparations for the conflict are in full swing, American businesswoman, Jane Gerson, is stranded on the tiny island of Gibraltar, unable to get back home. With rumours of a German plot and spies around every corner, Jane’s path home is fraught with suspicion and danger. This page-turning adventure thriller is perfect for fans of espionage films and fiction. Earl Derr Biggers (1884-1933) was an American writer of novels and plays. He predominantly wrote detective mysteries and famously created the Chinese-American detective, Charlie Chan, which has been adapted for film and TV on numerous occasions. His most popular works include 'The House Without a Key', 'Seven Keys to Baldplate', and 'The Black Camel'. Robert Welles Ritchie (1879-1942) was an American writer and journalist. He wrote novels and short stories and is mostly remembered today for 'Inside the Lines', 'Trails to Two Moons', and 'Dust of the Desert'. Many of his works were also adapted for film.

Friendly Fire in the Literature of War

By: Earl R. Anderson

The term "friendly fire" was coined in the 1970s but the theme appears in literature from ancient times to the present. It begins the narrative in Aeschylus's Persians and Larry Heinemann's Paco's Story. It marks the turning point in Homer's Iliad, Virgil's Aeneid, the Chanson de Roland, Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage and Tim O'Brien's Going After Cacciato. It is the subject of transformative disclosure in Jaan Kross's Czar's Madman, Ron Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July, O'Brien's In the Lake of the Woods and A.B. Yehoshua's Friendly Fire. In some stories, events propel the characters into a friendly-fire catastrophe, as in Thomas Taylor's A Piece of this Country and Oliver Stone's 1986 film Platoon. This study examines friendly fire in a broad range of literary contexts.

The New Class Society

Goodbye American Dream?

By: Robert Perrucci,Earl Wysong

Extensively revised, the second edition of The New Class Society includes innovative new sections and concepts throughout the book that identify and explore how complex organizational structures and actions create and perpetuate class, gender, and racial inequalities. The authors describe how 'inequality scripts' shape the hiring and promotion practices of organizations in ways that provide differential opportunities to people based on class, gender, and racial memberships. The authors also illustrate how privileged class members benefit from organizationally-based and perpetuated forms of inequality. The second edition retains its provocative argument for of an emerging 'double-diamond' social structure and its focus on class interests that are rapidly polarizing American society. New figures, tables, and references incorporate the latest information and research findings to document and illustrate key topics, such as the distribution of wealth and income, globalization, downsizing, contingent labor, the role of money in politics, media content and consolidation, the transformation of education, and the erosion of democracy. The second edition combines scholarship with an engaging style and flashes of comic relief-with several cartoons by some of the best satirists today. The book, accessibly written for undergraduate students, has been widely adopted in courses on stratification, economic sociology, and American society.

While America Sleeps

How Islam, Immigration and Indoctrination Are Destroying America from Within

By: Wells Earl Draughon

This book describes the practices and propaganda that are preparing the fall of America and guaranteeing that nothing will be done to stop it. Other books focus on one aspect of the problem; this book tells you the whole story. Other books give you rants and unsupported claims. This book presents documented facts but also tells the victims' stories, bringing you face to face with the human costs. When presenting misguided practices and anti-American ideology, the book lets the perpetrators hang themselves in their own words.

New Class Society

Goodbye American Dream?

By: Robert Perrucci,Earl Wysong

This book explores how class-based resources and interests embedded in large organizations are linked to powerful structures and processes which in turn are rapidly polarizing the U.S. into a highly unequal, 'double diamond' class structure. The authors show how and why American class membership in the 21st century is based on an organizationally-based distribution of critical resources including income, investment capital, credentialed skills verified by elite schools, and social connections to organizational leaders.

The Complete Poems of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester

By: John Wilmot Earl of Rochester

John Wilmot, the notorious Earl of Rochester, was the darling of the polished, profligate court of Charles II. One of the finest poets of the Restoration, patron to important playwrights, model for countless witty young rakes in Restoration comedies, he lived a full but short life, dying in 1680 (with a dramatic deathbed renunciation of his atheism) at the age of thirty-three. This edition of Rochester's poetry, brilliantly annotated and introduced by David M. Vieth, has been a classic work for decades. Rochester had many admirers: Graham Greene wrote Lord Rochester's Monkey; Daniel Defoe quoted him often; Tennyson recited his poems; Voltaire admired his satire for 'energy and fire'; Goethe could quote him in English; and Hazlitt said that 'his verses cut and sparkle like diamonds' and that 'his contempt for everything that others respect almost amounts to sublimity'.

Reminiscences of a Journey Through Life

By: Earl Ferrers

In this charming and poignant memoir, the 13th Earl Ferrers - 'a farmer who got caught up in the slipstream of politics' - reflects on a life very well lived. Alongside contemplative musings on politics, religion, relationships and the meaning of life are humorous anecdotes - on his aristocratic upbringing at Staunton Harold in the 1930s, high jinks at Winchester and Cambridge, national service in the jungle of Malaya and his time as minister in every Conservative Government from Macmillan to Major. Drawing on nearly sixty years of public service, Whatever Next? recounts captivating tales of the ups and downs of Westminster life - including choice nuggets of original correspondence, cartoons and poems - from a peer with a real twinkle in his eye.
