Typhoon Louise vs. the United States Navy

Catastrophe at Okinawa, October 9-10, 1945

By: Gene Eric Salecker

World War II was over and the U.S. was still using the captured Japanese island of Okinawa as a major naval base. Hundreds of vessels dotted the numerous bays and inlets, and thousands of military personnel occupied the island. In October 1945, Typhoon Louise tore into Okinawa, slamming ships together and tossing them onto reefs and beaches. Terrible winds tore up tent cities and disintegrated corrugated tin Quonset huts. One hundred people died and 383 ships of all sizes were sunk or damaged. This book tells the full story of the typhoon historian Samuel Eliot Morison called "the most furious and lethal storm ever encountered by the United States Navy.

Charlemagne, Muhammad, and the Arab Roots of Capitalism

By: Gene W. Heck

Presented in six principal analytic chapters with supporting appendices, this book explores the role of Islam in precipitating Europe's twelfth century commercial renaissance. Employing the classic analytic techniques of economics, Gene Heck determines that medieval Europe's feudal interregnum was largely caused by indigenous governmental business regulation and not by shifts in international trade patterns. He then proceeds by demonstrating how Islamic economic precepts provided the ideological rationales that empowered medieval Europe to escape its three-centuries-long experiment in "Dark Age economics" ― in the process, providing the West with its archetypic tools of capitalism. While treatises such as Maxime Rodinson's excellent book, Islam and Capitalism, document the capitalistic nature of the Islamic economic system, in applying modern economic method to medieval orientalist historiography, this work is unique in capturing both the evolution and the impact of the system's role in forging medieval history.

Utah's Stolen Treasures

Utah's Stolen Treasures

The Ancients Are Crying

By: Gene Covington

Utah’s Stolen Treasures is a book that was inspired by three American Indian shields discovered by author Gene Covington’s grandparents in Wayne County, Utah back in 1926. Using the discovery of the shields as a point of departure, Covington provides a multi-layered tale, based primarily upon facts regarding the study of and caring for of the shields after they were discovered. As this fascinating book takes you via photographs through some of the most beautiful country in America, it also delves into the history of the early American pioneers and the American Indians they encountered, along with the folklore and legends of the American Indians.The story is centered around the three Fremont Indian tribal leaders who may have originally buried the shields in the early 1500s. This trio of Indian Elders appears throughout the story, first as living men and later in spirit form. The book also recounts the story of the author’s own family, defining who Native Americans are, as it follows the lives of his grandparents up to and beyond the discovery of the shields. But Utah’s Stolen Treasures is more than just a family history or a tale of Indian folklore. Ultimately it’s a plea to have the shields returned to Utah and for all of mankind to come together in peace. It uses the American Indian people, who originally occupied the lands that are now the United States, as an example of just how this might be accomplished.

Public and Private Education in America

Examining the Facts

By: Casey D. Cobb,Gene V Glass

This title will give students and other readers a clear understanding of the true state of public and private education systems in the United States by refuting falsehoods, misunderstandings, and exaggerations—and confirming the validity of other assertions. This work is part of a series that uses evidence-based documentation to examine the veracity of claims and beliefs about high-profile issues in American culture and politics. Each book in the Contemporary Debates series is intended to puncture rather than perpetuate myths that diminish our understanding of important policies and positions; to provide needed context for misleading statements and claims; and to confirm the factual accuracy of other assertions. This particular volume examines beliefs, claims, and myths about public and private K–12 education in the United States. Issues covered include categories of public and private schools and variations in academic performance and socioeconomic status therein; controversies surrounding school choice, including school vouchers and charter schools; accountability and assessment of private and public schools; debates about school environment, safety, and curricula; and teacher and administrator quality. All of these issues are examined in individualized entries, with objective responses grounded in up-to-date evidence.

Wake Up, America

Wake Up, America

By: Gene Cordes

It's amazing how quickly fear and adrenaline can kill a buzz. The first time, the trick is to be just drunk enough to take your clothes off in public, but not quite so drunk as to fall off the stage, a complicated balance of blood volume to alcohol that is no simple task for the uninitiated. My first time, dancing and crawling around half-naked for the amusement of lonely software engineers and salesmen, I came away with eight bucks, all ones. Still dazed and undecided about whether I should be humiliated or proud, I stepped off the stage to congratulating pats and smiles. Since I can't take it back, I may as well be proud. Without my glasses, faces around the stage look blurry. It's just as well that I can't see. I've become completely paranoid about being spotted by someone from my office. It's only a matter of time before some clandestine bachelor party comes up, and there I'll be in all my glory. I can just imagine my boss dragged in by some client or company man to schmooze, looking completely bored and embarrassed until he sees me here. "Excuse me, Dr. Bartlett, don't I pay you enough?
