Lepidoptera

Hesperioidea, Papilionoidea

By: E. D. Edwards,J. Newland,Australian Biological Resources Study,L. Regan

Certificate of Commendation Winner at the 2001 Whitley Awards - Best Zoological Reference Section This very detailed compendium of data on taxonomy and nomenclature of Australian butterflies is another in the Catalogue series produced by the Australian Biological Resources Study, a sub-program of Environment Australia. Expanding on the butterfly section of the earlier Checklist of the Lepidoptera of Australia by Nielsen, Edwards & Rangsi (1996) This Catalogue contains the fine details of naming and status of types of Australian butterflies, and information critical for fixing the scientific names of the species. This volume is the 'Who's Who' for the Australian butterfly fauna, the very basic information we all need, but find so difficult to access and evaluate for ourselves. It is introduced by a comprehensive historical and explanatory account of work on Australian butterflies. Details are given of all genus and species synonymies applicable to the Australian fauna. There are details of the type designations of all 507 available generic names, of type data for the 1,004 available species group names and of nomenclatural changes and changes in taxonomic status for most of the 136 valid genera, 400 species, and 371 subspecies. The butterflies have an enormous literature and this catalogue provides a guide to the significant literature of each taxon. An extensive list of larval food plants is also included, as well as succinct information on ecology and distribution and a comprehensive bibliography. Features

I Contain Multitudes

The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life

By: Ed Yong

New York Times Bestseller New York Times Notable Book of 2016 • NPR Great Read of 2016 • Named a Best Book of 2016 by The Economist, Smithsonian, NPR's Science Friday, MPR, Minnesota Star Tribune, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, The Guardian, Times (London) From Pulitzer Prize winner Ed Yong, a groundbreaking, wondrously informative, and vastly entertaining examination of the most significant revolution in biology since Darwin—a “microbe’s-eye view” of the world that reveals a marvelous, radically reconceived picture of life on earth. Every animal, whether human, squid, or wasp, is home to millions of bacteria and other microbes. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ed Yong, whose humor is as evident as his erudition, prompts us to look at ourselves and our animal companions in a new light—less as individuals and more as the interconnected, interdependent multitudes we assuredly are. The microbes in our bodies are part of our immune systems and protect us from disease. In the deep oceans, mysterious creatures without mouths or guts depend on microbes for all their energy. Bacteria provide squid with invisibility cloaks, help beetles to bring down forests, and allow worms to cause diseases that afflict millions of people. Many people think of microbes as germs to be eradicated, but those that live with us—the microbiome—build our bodies, protect our health, shape our identities, and grant us incredible abilities. In this astonishing book, Ed Yong takes us on a grand tour through our microbial partners, and introduces us to the scientists on the front lines of discovery. It will change both our view of nature and our sense of where we belong in it.

NAVY MEN PRESIDENTS: Book 1 - Eternal Flame Trilogy

Love Laughter Courage

By: Ed Delker

NAVY MEN PRESIDENTS NOVELS BY ED DELKER. Eternal Flame Trilogy. Red Teagan, the ninety year-old former Secretary of the Navy during the Kennedy Administration, sends a letter to the Chief of Naval Operations stating a Navy Man was responsible for President Kennedy's death! Two Navy Intelligence officers are dispatched to Red Teagan's home and learn Secretary Teagan was Jack Kennedy's closest and truest best friend no one ever heard about. Red takes the Navy officers on an enthralling twenty-two year journey from when he first met the future president till the fateful day a rouge operation, Eternal Flame, claims President Kennedy's life. The trilogy is a buddy story between true best friends filled with mystery, action, adventure, love, and plenty of humor. WWII provides many men and women opportunities and destinies never thought possible. Tremendous social changes for both men and women from 1942 to 1964 provide the backdrop for these strong male and female characters. After reading the trilogy, one test reader said they constantly dreamt about what the characters will do next. A fourth installment of the Navy Men Presidents, REDEMPTION, covering the Johnson presidency is in the works. With six Navy Men Presidents in the last half of the Twentieth Century, there are many more buddy stories to tell. Book 1- Eternal Flame Trilogy, Love*Laughter*Courage. Red Teagan starts his cautionary tale describing himself and Jack Kennedy as typical young men of their generation seeking love, surviving on laughter and finding courage to cope with the horrors of war. A chance meeting on a remote South Pacific island during WWII by Red and Jack with three other junior Navy officers, Johnson, Nixon and Ford opens all of their eyes to great possibilities, a future that would not be possible if not for the war. A native mystic decrees Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford are men destined to become President but their collective destiny flows through Jack's destiny. The native mystic anoints Red as Jack's Spirit Keeper responsible for protecting Jack and keeping him true to his destiny as the first Navy Man president. Book 2 - Eternal Flame Trilogy, Mastema. The future Navy Men Presidents return home and resume their peacetime lives and careers. Red works behind the scene on Jack's campaign for Congress. Nixon, Johnson and Ford also rapidly advance their political careers. However, evil followed Red and Jack home from the war in the Pacific and threatens Jack's life. Red and other veterans from the war battle a serial killer called Mastema. When Mastema plays psychological games with the Navy Men, the battle becomes personal spawning a manhunt by law enforcement and intelligence services across the globe. Book 3 - Eternal Flame Trilogy, Operation Eternal Flame Destiny Achieved. Red helps preserve Jack's presidency by effectively working in the background. He is viewed as a Kennedy wartime crony by the establishment and not taken seriously. Regardless, Jack appoints Red Undersecretary of the Navy. When the CIA identifies a rogue operation within the U.S. Government with the mission to assassinate Jack, Red once again marshals the Navy Men and wartime comrades. Forces within the Government undercut Red's efforts and Red enlists the help of his two young aides and "off the books assets" to head off the former Marine sniper, Lee Harvey Oswald. The remaining Navy Men Presidents rally to preserve Jack's legacy.

For two years, author Ed Sealover traveled the state, speaking to more than one hundred brewers and learning what makes each place special, detailing their histories, quirks and signature beers. With profiles of breweries ranging from the world-renowned New Belgium Brewing Company to the Silverton Brewery, whose location is so isolated that its taproom shuts down six months out of the year, Mountain Brew: A Guide to Colorado's Breweries is a perfect companion for beer geeks and thirsty travelers.

Place, Race, and Identity Formation

Autobiographical Intersections in a Curriculum Theorist's Daily Life

By: Ed Douglas McKnight

In this work of curriculum theory, Ed Douglas McKnight addresses and explores the intersections between place (with specific discussion of Kincheloe’s and Pinar’s conceptualization of place and identity) and race (specifically Winthrop Jordan’s historical analysis of race as an Anglo-European construction that became the foundation of a white mythos). To that end, he employs a form of narrative construction called curriculum vitae (course of life)—a method of locating and delineating identity formation which addresses how theories of place, race and identity formation play out in a particular concrete life. By working through how place racializes identity and existence, the author engages in a long Southern tradition of storytelling, but in a way that turns it inside out. Instead of telling his own story as a means to romanticize the sins of the southern past, he tells a new story of growing up within the "white" discourse of the Deep South in the 1960s and 70s, tracking how his racial identity was created and how it has followed him through life. Significant in this narrative is how the discourse of whiteness and place continues to express itself even within the subject position of a curriculum theorist teaching in a large Deep South university. The book concludes with an elaboration on the challenges of engaging in the necessary anti-racist complicated conversation within education to begin to work through and cope with heavy racialized inheritances.

My Vita, If You Will

The Uncollected Ed McClanahan

By: Ed McClanahan

If you don't know Ed McClanahan, this "anthology of his essays, reviews, short stories, and novel excerpts (from early drafts) ought to do the trick" (Booklist). Highlighting the collection is "Grateful Dead I Have Known," a long prize-winning meditation about Jerry Garcia and the fanatical devotion of his fans. Also collected here for the first time are McClanahans's earliest short stories, along with book reviews, lost chapters of The Natural Man, and a substantial afterword to Famous People I Have Known. His recollections of famous friends and fellow travelers form an integral part of this book. He joins his buddy Ken Kesey in a bus-journey reunion with other gray-haired Merry Pranksters, and he pokes fun at his own graduate-school flamboyance in a touching remembrance of his mentor Wallace Stegner.

Iron, Fire and Ice

The Real History that Inspired Game of Thrones

By: Ed West

Have you read everything George R.R. Martin has every written? Do you know what in Game of Thrones is based in real history? A young pretender raises an army to take the throne. Learning of his father’s death, the adolescent, dashing and charismatic and descended from the old kings of the North, vows to avenge him. He is supported in this war by his mother, who has spirited away her two younger sons to safety. Against them is the queen, passionate, proud, and strong-willed and with more of the masculine virtues of the time than most men. She too is battling for the inheritance of her young son, not yet fully grown but already a sadist who takes delight in watching executions. Sound familiar? It may read like the plot of Game of Thrones. Yet that was also the story of the bloodiest battle in British history, fought at the culmination of the War of the Roses. George RR Martin’s bestselling novels are rife with allusions, inspirations, and flat-out copies of real-life people, events, and places of medieval and Tudor England and Europe. The Red Wedding? Based on actual events in Scottish history. The poisoning of Joffrey Baratheon? Eerily similar to the death of William the Conqueror’s grandson. The Dothraki? Also known as Huns, Magyars, Turks, and Mongols. Join Ed West, as he explores all of Martin’s influences, from religion to war to powerful women. Discover the real history behind the phenomenon and see for yourself that truth is stranger than fiction.

The Cotton Belt

Writing the book “The Cotton Belt,” was a seven year intermittent project for the author, which includes six books within: “The Tobacco Kings,” “The Cotton Belt,” “Colored and White,” “The Vanquished Plantations,” “Voices out of Saigon,” and an updating book called “The Old Folks” (1650 to 2012) all interlinking, creating an amazing saga; which gravitates towards the South.

B-17 Memories

From Memphis Belle to Victory

By: T/Sgt. James Lee Hutchinson Ed.S.

The Memphis Belle, completed 25 missions and became the symbol of Eighth Air Force success in the air war over Europe. Its national tour rallied support and encouraged citizens enduring rationing and sacrifices for victory. Heavy bomber aircrews proved their value with precision bombing. My writing is based on memories, diaries and interviews of other veterans and my teenage experiences as an Eighth Air Force B-17 radio/gunner on twenty combat missions with the 490th Bomb Group (H). This fourth book presents short stories of boys on B-17 Flying Fortress crews flying deadly missions to destroy German and Italian military targets. Twenty-six thousand airmen died and thousands more were wounded. The sky was our arena and we paved the way for Infantry and Armored Divisions slogging through heat, rain or snow to preserve our freedom. Many B-17 gunners were teenagers who enlisted or were drafted, trained and sent into combat before they could legally vote or buy a drink. They saved our freedom and came home to build the USA into the most powerful nation in the world. I self-publish because I am 89 and my time is limited. I thank God that I have been able to record more than 350 stories of my generation. "WW II veterans are fading into History — less than two million of the sixteen million who served are left to tell their stories" See my interview online at "Wings over Europe my Smithville

Chief Justice

A Biography of Earl Warren

By: Ed Cray

Earl Warren is rightly remembered not only as one of the great chief justices of the Supreme Court, but as one of the most influential Americans of the twentieth century. Warren Court decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education, Miranda, and Baker v. Carr have given us such famous phrases as "separate is not equal, " "read him his rights, " and "one-man-one-vote" - and have vastly expanded civil rights and personal liberties. A generation later the Warren Court's decisions still define American freedoms. Ed Cray recounts this truly American story in the finest and most comprehensive biography of Earl Warren. He has interviewed nearly all of the Chief's law clerks, four of his children, and more than one hundred others, many of whom recall for the first time their years with Warren. He has read thousands of personal letters and official documents deposited in ten libraries across the country, weaving them into a tale of political intrigue, judicial politics, family reminiscences, and a loving marriage.

America

A History in Verse

By: Ed Sanders

Seething Nation! Vast & Flowing! Day & Night & Dawn!" Bold, sweeping, investigative, rhapsodic, hilarious, heart-rendering, thought-provoking, Edward Sanders' three-volume, America: A History in Verse uniquely and brilliantly tells "the story of America...a million stranded fabric / woven by billions of hands & minds". It is by turns angry, wistful, defiant and extremely funny re-inventions of historical and biographical worlds, a highly original mix of chronicle, anecdote, document, reportage, paean and polemic. Volume 1, 1900-1939 chronicles the birth of the American century through one world war and to the brink of a second. Not since Leaves of Grass has there been such an un-ironic attempt to give voice to "the rhapsody of a great nation / where so many sing without cease / work without halt / shoulder without shudder / to bring the Feather of Justice to every / bell tower, biome & blade of grass / in Graceful America." Long may Sanders sing our common song, and long may his America "dwell in peace, freedom & equality / out on its spiraling arm / in the Milky Way.

Cowpens 1781

Turning point of the American Revolution

By: Ed Gilbert,Catherine Gilbert

This is a blistering account of the battle of Cowpens, a short, sharp conflict which marked a crucial turning point in the American Revolution. With Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton and the British troops in hot pursuit, Daniel Morgan, leading a small force of 700 Continentals and militia, chose the Cowpens as the battlefield in which to make a stand. The two forces clashed for barely more than 45 minutes, yet this brief battle shaped the outcome of the War in the South and decisively influenced the conflict as a whole. The authors provide a shrewd analysis of what was perhaps the finest tactical performance of the entire war. Bird's-eye views, vivid illustrations and detailed maps illuminate the dynamism of this clash between two of the most famous commanders of the War of Independence.

When Television Was Young

The Inside Story with Memories by Legends of the Small Screen

By: Ed McMahon,David C. Fisher

When television was young . . . Legendary movie producer Darryl Zanuck declared, "People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night. Before 5:30, there were only test patterns. Howdy Doody was the first show of the day. CBS agreed to put I Love Lucy on film only if Desi and Lucy paid part of the production fee. In return, CBS gave them ownership of the shows, including the right to rerun it forever. Kukla, Fran, and Ollie was the first network show broadcast in color. 50,000 fans showed up in a New Orleans department store to meet Hopalong Cassidy. Movie studios would not let motion icture stars appear on television for fear that if people saw the stars on TV, they wouldn't go to the movies. Filled with fascinating stories, When Television Was Young is a hilarious, entertaining, behind-the-scenes look at the world of the small screen.

Mormons Under the Microscope

77 essential questions about their HISTORY, DOCTRINE, PRACTICES, ORGANIZATION, VOCABULARY

By: Ed D. Lauritsen, Ph.D.

America’s 2008 presidential campaign prompted many people in the U.S. and around the world to seek more information about the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormons. For those who wish to examine these beliefs from a Bible perspective, Mormons Under the Microscope is especially helpful. More than 300 Bible references are included. All Bible quotations are taken from the King James Version. Each of the book ́s 77 questions is followed by a Brief Answer and a Detailed Answer, for the reader’s convenience. Readers unfamiliar with Mormon terminology will find Question 77 particularly instructive. More than 200 terms are defined. Among the numerous endorsements listed in the book are these: "In this concise but comprehensive compendium, Dr. Lauritsen provides amazing clarity in his responses to both simple and complex questions about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This book is required reading for those who want to understand a once-obscure faith tradition that has become one of the fastest growing religions in the world." Dr. A. Dean Byrd, University of Utah School of Medicine. "Mormons Under the Microscope might be considered a Cliff Notes version of Mormon Doctrine...Dr. Lauritsen ́s straightforward, succinct approach is reminsicent of the style of the late LDS Apostle Neal A. Maxwell. Mormons Under the Microscope will be an excellent addition to our personal libraries." John S. Robinson, retired news editor of the Deseret News Note: Mormons Under the Microscope is not an official or unofficial publication of any church, religious organization, or political entity; nor is it sponsored by any religious or political organization. The author alone is responsible for the content and limitations of this book.

Rising Tide

Bear Bryant, Joe Namath, and Dixie's Last Quarter

By: Randy Roberts,Ed Krzemienski

The extraordinary story of how Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and Joe Namath, his star quarterback at the University of Alabama, led the Crimson Tide to victory and transformed football into a truly national pastime. During the bloodiest years of the civil rights movement, Bear Bryant and Joe Namath-two of the most iconic and controversial figures in American sports-changed the game of college football forever. Brilliantly and urgently drawn, this is the gripping account of how these two very different men-Bryant a legendary coach in the South who was facing a pair of ethics scandals that threatened his career, and Namath a cocky Northerner from a steel mill town in Pennsylvania-led the Crimson Tide to a national championship. To Bryant and Namath, the game was everything. But no one could ignore the changes sweeping the nation between 1961 and 1965-from the Freedom Rides to the integration of colleges across the South and the assassination of President Kennedy. Against this explosive backdrop, Bryant and Namath changed the meaning of football. Their final contest together, the 1965 Orange Bowl, was the first football game broadcast nationally, in color, during prime time, signaling a new era for the sport and the nation. Award-winning biographer Randy Roberts and sports historian Ed Krzemienski showcase the moment when two thoroughly American traditions-football and Dixie-collided. A compelling story of race and politics, honor and the will to win, Rising Tide captures a singular time in America. More than a history of college football, this is the story of the struggle and triumph of a nation in transition and the legacy of two of the greatest heroes the sport has ever seen.

Money, Payments, and Liquidity, second edition

By: Guillaume Rocheteau,Ed Nosal

A new edition of a book presenting a unified framework for studying the role of money and liquid assets in the economy, revised and updated. In Money, Payments, and Liquidity, Guillaume Rocheteau and Ed Nosal provide a comprehensive investigation into the economics of money, liquidity, and payments by explicitly modeling the mechanics of trade and its various frictions (including search, private information, and limited commitment). Adopting the last generation of the New Monetarist framework developed by Ricardo Lagos and Randall Wright, among others, Nosal and Rocheteau provide a dynamic general equilibrium framework to examine the frictions in the economy that make money and liquid assets play a useful role in trade. They discuss such topics as cashless economies; the properties of an asset that make it suitable to be used as a medium of exchange; the optimal monetary policy and the cost of inflation; the coexistence of money and credit; and the relationships among liquidity, asset prices, monetary policy; and the different measures of liquidity in over-the-counter markets. The second edition has been revised to reflect recent progress in the New Monetarist approach to payments and liquidity. Rocheteau and Nosal have added three new chapters: on unemployment and payments, on asset price dynamics and bubbles, and on crashes and recoveries in over-the-counter markets. The chapter on the role of money has been entirely rewritten, adopting a mechanism design approach. Other chapters have been revised and updated, with new material on credit economies under limited commitment, open-market operations and liquidity traps, and the limited pledgeability of assets under informational frictions.

Everyday Racism in America and the Power of Forgiveness

By: Wilma Jean Turner Ed.D.

This autoethnographic study examines my experiences as an African American born and raised in the United States of America, who—from the time I realized I was Black at age ten until the present day, more than fifty years later—experiences racism either overtly or covertly on a daily basis. I first explore my days as a high school student involved in a court desegregation case and the trauma I experienced in the hostile environment where White students openly showed their racial hatred for the Black students who would dare to enroll in “their school.” I examine my life as a college student in Alabama at the height of the Civil Rights Movement and my participation in nonviolent protests, especially the famous Selma to Montgomery march led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Days of Darkness

The Feuds of Eastern Kentucky

By: John Ed Pearce

Among the darkest corners of Kentucky's past are the grisly feuds that tore apart the hills of Eastern Kentucky from the late nineteenth century until well into the twentieth. Now, from the tangled threads of conflicting testimony, John Ed Pearce, Kentucky's best known journalist, weaves engrossing accounts of six of the most notorior accounts to uncover what really happened and why. His story of those days of darkness brings to light new evidence, questions commonly held beliefs about the feuds, and us and long-running feuds -- those in Breathitt, Clay Harlan, Perry, Pike, and Rowan counties. What caused the feuds that left Kentucky with its lingering reputation for violence? Who were the feudists, and what forces -- social, political, financial -- hurled them at each other? Did Big Jim Howard really kill Governor William Goebel? Did Joe Eversole die trying to protect small mountain landowners from ruthless Eastern mineral exploiters? Did the Hatfield-McCoy fight start over a hog? For years, Pearce has interviewed descendants of feuding families and examined skimpy court records and often fictional newspapeputs to rest some of the more popular legends.

The Most Important Scientific Discovery of All Time

McGrath's Hypothesis

By: And the Scientfic Revolution Going on Right Now,Ed McGrath

A basic claim of this book is that modern science has found us humans to be much less smart and rational than we have throughout our long history led ourselves to believe we are. Because of this important difference, we humans are much more likely than we think to cause our own nuclear extinction in the near future. Although Ed McGrath has been a college graduate and interested in science most of his life, he majored in other subjects until he decided to become a psychology professor in his early forties. He returned to California State University in Los Angeles and achieved perfect grades in experimental psychology as an undergraduate and for his master's degree. He then successfully fulfilled the course requirements for a Ph.D. at the University of California. Discovering that human psychology was not based on much evidence, he also attended anthropology lectures on human evolution, hoping to find improvement potential for psychology. However, one professor warned Ed that he and the five professors on Ed's Ph.D. research committee did not like Ed's reputation for questioning the lack of testable evidence in classes and seminars, and eventually dismissed him from the Ph.D. program.Although Ed was initially disappointed, he found time to inquire into other related modern scientific discoveries. He began to see new and more important relationships among some of these discoveries and his own beliefs. That set of related discoveries eventually became an important component of this book. About the Author: Ed McGrath is a retired property tax expert, assessor and realtor. Originally from New York City, he now lives near Pasadena, California.

Illinois Rebels

A Civil War Unit History of G Company 15th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry

By: Ed Gleeson

Illinois rebels will be unwelcome by Civil War enthusiasts who see our greatest national calamity from a totally partisan point of view-- Whether that partisanship be pro-Confederate of pro-Union. Pro-Confederate patricians will be reluctant to recognize the overwhelming historical data that suggests that the Southern Illinois farmers, a majority of whom had been born in the South, detested the planter class of the Southern aristocracy. Pro-Union partisan well be hesitant to accept the mountain of historical evidence that proves the exitance of a small but intensely dedicated group of men from the "Land of Lincoln" who went south to fight against their fellow Illinoisans, Beginning their journey from two hundred miles behind enemy lines. These Southern patriots form Illinois, just like their much more numerous Federal counterparts from the Prairie State, were decent men, firmly committed to the service of God and country. Illinois Rebels is certain to be rejected by those who loudly proclaim the epic drama to be a clear case of the good guys (us) versus (them). But for those who appreciate the horrible ironies of history, this book can serve as one more grim reminder of the terrifying reality that was the real War Between the States. Incredibly, the conflict was a matter of half of the American family--North or South, free or slave, good or bad--pitted against the other half. The Challenge here is to understand history by overcoming stereotypes. And the premise is that fact, as usual, is stranger than fiction

Undeniable Truths

The Clear and Simple Facts Surrounding the Murder of President John F. Kennedy

By: Ed Souza

Since we forget the implications of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy at our peril I welcome and support the recent work of Ed Souza's Undeniable Truths....Welcome aboard Mr. Souza." Mark Lane- Author of Rush to Judgment To many, the murder of President John F. Kennedy was the defining tragedy of the twentieth century. To many, the intricate and pervasive veil of lies generated by the Warren Commission and some of our own government agencies is an egregious and continuing insult to our collective intelligence, integrity, and dignity. To many, there are more questions than plausible answers. But for one former LA cop, private investigator, and professor of criminal justice, the time has come to put forth the clear and plausible answers too many have craved for too long. In Undeniable Truths, Professor Ed Souza applies modern investigative techniques and theories to present the clear and simple facts surrounding this infamous murder. His approach exposes the lies, cover-ups, and misinformation involved in this case. He explores some of the murder's most enduring mysteries: Why was President Kennedy really murdered? Who really didand did notwant Kennedy eliminated? Whyand howwas Oswald chosen as the scapegoat? Through the use of time tested police strategies, the author puts decades of professional research to the task of solving one of history's most enduring unsolved crimes.
