By: Michael E. Newell

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

While driving home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, along a major Interstate highway, Trenton Brambly Smithson witnesses an asteroid crashing to earth where it creates a 30-mile diameter crater obliterating his home city. At a distance of about 60 miles, Trent and two new friends survive the disaster. The trek to find civilization and safety turns ominous when he discovers much of northeast Oklahoma devoid of citizens due to forced evacuation by police and militia forces supported by the military. Militia forces now rules the area, which is to become a military reservation built for exterminating undesirable citizens. Aside from the possible global ecological consequences of the event, the powers-that-be activate National Guard units unilaterally, deploy regular military units and recall troops from abroad prior to the asteroid disaster, and declare martial law. States now oppose each other and the potential for civil war looms large. The chief executive, the President of the United States, Dwayne Jefferson Troutman, has decided to rule for the rest of his life. Smithson, supported by seasoned military associates, restores order to northeast Oklahoma creating the erosion of tyrannical support, and the team turns their focus to bringing the chief executive to justice. The chase is on...the vermin is loose.

A Full Cup

Sir Thomas Lipton's Extraordinary Life and His Quest for the America's Cup

By: Michael D'Antonio

An in-depth biography of Sir Thomas Lipton, the founder of Lipton Tea-a portrait of a remarkable self-made man and intrepid sailor. Today Lipton means tea. However, in his time Sir Thomas Lipton was known for much more. Raised in desperate poverty, he became rich beyond his wildest dreams. He built a global empire of markets, factories, plantations, and stockyards. And his colorful pursuit of the America's Cup trophy made him a beloved figure on both sides of the Atlantic. In A Full Cup, Michael D'Antonio tells the tale of this larger- than-life figure. Beginning with a journey across the United States just after the Civil War, Thomas J. Lipton developed the ambition and learned the business techniques that helped him create the first chain of grocery stores. Wealthy before the age of thirty, he set his sights on the tea trade, and soon his name became synonymous with his product. Lipton's great business success makes for a compelling story of innovation and achievement. Moreover, though, Lipton's most intriguing creation was a public persona-one of the first formed with the help of a modern mass media-that appealed to millions of ordinary people, as well as the elites in America and Europe. Concocting simple stunts like elephant parades, Lipton mastered the new art of obtaining free publicity. With shameless self-promotion, he became one of the world's most eligible bachelors, a patron of the poor, and ultimately reached legendary heights when he revived the competition for the America's Cup. With one losing attempt after another, the gallant Lipton, who didn't even know how to sail his own yacht, became ever more popular. D'Antonio's biography brings to vivid life this remarkable figure.

Philosophical and Theological Perspectives

By: Michael Scott

Realism and Religion

Philosophical and Theological Perspectives

By: Michael Scott

This book draws together a distinguished group of philosophers and theologians to present new thinking on realism and religion. The religious realism/antirealism debate concerns the questions of God’s independence from human beings, the nature of religious truth and our access to religious truths. Although both philosophers and theologians have written on these subjects, there has been little sustained investigation into these issues akin to that found in comparable areas of research such as ethics or the philosophy of science. In addition, the absence of any agreed approach to the problem underlines both the need for fresh thought on it and the fruitfulness of this area for further research. The editors’ introduction sets the context of the realism debate, traces connections amongst the essays which follow, and proposes lines for future development and enquiry. The contributors present a variety of contrasting positions on key issues in the religious realism debate and each opens up new and important themes. Gordon Kaufman, Peter Lipton and Simon Blackburn provide the opening chapters and the context for the collection; Alexander Bird, John Hare, Graham Oppy and Nick Trakakis, Merold Westphal, and John Webster explore topics that are central to the debate. This volume of original essays will both introduce newcomers to the field and suggest new lines of research for those already familiar with it.

The Truth About Freud's Technique

The Encounter With the Real

The Truth About Freud's Technique

The Encounter With the Real

By: Michael Guy Thompson

In this unusual and much-needed reappraisal of Freud's clinical technique, M. Guy Thompson challenges the conventional notion that psychoanalysis promotes relief from suffering and replaces it with a more radical assertion, that psychoanalysis seeks to mend our relationship with the real that has been fractured by our avoidance of the same. Thompson suggests that, while avoiding reality may help to relieve our experience of suffering, this short-term solution inevitably leads to a split in our existence. M. Guy Thompson forcefully disagrees with the recent trend that dismisses Freud as an historical figure who is out of step with the times. He argues, instead, for a return to the forgotten Freud, a man inherently philosophical and rooted in a Greek preoccupation with the nature of truth, ethics, the purpose of life and our relationship with reality. Thompson's argument is situated in a stunning re-reading of Freud's technical papers, including a new evaluation of his analyses of Dora and the Rat Man in the context of Heidegger's understanding of truth. In this remarkable examination of Freud's technical recommendations, M. Guy Thompson explains how psychoanalysis was originally designed to re-acquaint us with realities we had abandoned by encountering them in the contest of the analytic experience. This provocative examination of Freud's conception of psychoanalysis reveals a more personal Freud than we had previously supposed, one that is more humanistic and real.

Freud’s Theory of Dreams

A Philosophico-Scientific Perspective

By: Michael T. Michael

Freud’s Theory of Dreams: A Philosophico-Scientific Perspective evaluates Freud’s theory of dreams in light of the many philosophical and scientific criticisms that have been brought against it. Michael T. Michael addresses the validity of Freud’s method of dream interpretation, the scientific nature of the theory, and how Freud’s ideas bear up to modern research on dreams, engaging on the way with critics such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Clark Glymour, Karl Popper, Adolf Grünbaum, and J. Allan Hobson. Michael reaches beyond the traditional “for” and “against” polarity to offer a more balanced perspective on Freud’s theory. He argues that reports of the demise of Freud’s theory have been greatly exaggerated, and instead the theory is a live hypothesis fully deserving of continued scientific exploration.

Trading Up

Why Consumers Want New Luxury Goods--and How Companies Create Them

By: Michael J. Silverstein,Neil Fiske,John Butman

Trading up isn't just for the wealthy anymore. These days no one is shocked when an administrative assistant buys silk pajamas at Victoria's Secret. Or a young professional buys only Kendall-Jackson premium wines. Or a construction worker splurges on a $3,000 set of Callaway golf clubs. In dozens of categories, these new luxury brands now sell at huge premiums over conventional goods, and in much larger volumes than traditional old luxury goods. Trading Up has become the definitive book about this growing trend.

Power and Purpose

U.S. Policy toward Russia After the Cold War

By: James M. Goldgeier,Michael McFaul

Russia, once seen as America's greatest adversary, is now viewed by the United States as a potential partner. This book traces the evolution of American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union, and later Russia, during the tumultuous and uncertain period following the end of the cold war. It examines how American policymakers—particularly in the executive branch—coped with the opportunities and challenges presented by the new Russia. Drawing on extensive interviews with senior U.S. and Russian officials, the authors explain George H. W. Bush's response to the dramatic coup of August 1991 and the Soviet breakup several months later, examine Bill Clinton's efforts to assist Russia's transformation and integration, and analyze George W. Bush's policy toward Russia as September 11 and the war in Iraq transformed international politics. Throughout, the book focuses on the benefits and perils of America's efforts to promote democracy and markets in Russia as well as reorient Russia from security threat to security ally. Understanding how three U.S. administrations dealt with these critical policy questions is vital in assessing not only America's Russia policy, but also efforts that might help to transform and integrate other former adversaries in the future.

Physical to Metaphysical in Four Steps and One Giant Leap

By: Michael K. Yen

In this study of human consciousness, Dr. Michael Yen, a Jungian analyst, uses the concepts of C.G. Jung and the discoveries of quantum physics to write about physical reality and the realm of the world we cant see of nonmaterial reality. In the book, the author carefully lays out the four-step process (followed by one giant leap) that helps people separate themselves from their body, emotions, and thoughts in order to embrace the energy that consists of everything in the universe, leading to a chance to connect with ones true self. Using his own real life experiences, Dr. Yen describes how he learned to go from physical reality into the metaphysical ultimate reality. This book will appeal to readers who are interested in metaphysics and spirit-mind-body integration.

Direct and Allosteric Control of Glutamate Receptors

By: Michael G. Palfreyman,Ian J. Reynolds,Phil Skolnick

Direct and Allosteric Control of Glutamate Receptors describes in detail recent research that has demonstrated that glutamate receptors are subject to numerous modulatory controls. Significant new insights into the physiology and pathophysiology of the nervous system have been obtained by these discoveries. The sites on the receptor proteins where modulation occurs have provided a platform of opportunities for medicinal chemists to design new therapeutic modalities. These new drugs will be of major significance in treating diseases (such as stroke, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, Parkinson's, Huntington's, neurotrauma, schizophrenia, pain, and anxiety) associated with abnormal excitatory amino acid neurotransmission and function.

Headache

By: Giuseppi Nappi,Michael A. Moskowitz

Handbook of Clinical Neurology: Headache covers various aspects of headaches. It covers up-to-date information about the cultural developments and the scientific advances in the field of neurological science. One of the most frequent symptoms that people encounter is migraine or other type of headaches. At least 40% of neurological consultations are headache-related. With this, significant advances in basic and applied brain sciences have emerged in the field of headache-related problems. Divided into six sections, the book discusses the socioeconomic aspects of headaches, the contribution of biological sciences to the study of the pathophysiology of headache, and the management of headache and other related problems. It also deals with headache-related issues, such as pathogenic (chronobiological, endocrinological, and neuroimaging correlates), nosographic (i.e., migraine, vertigo, and headache in children), and treatment-related issues. The book will serve as a reference for researchers, clinical physicians, and other readers who want additional knowledge about the clinical features of headaches.

A Hundred Acres of America

The Geography of Jewish American Literary History

A Hundred Acres of America

The Geography of Jewish American Literary History

By: Michael Hoberman

In A Hundred Acres of America: The Geography of Jewish American Literary History, Michael Hoberman introduces cultural geography as an alternative approach to the immigrant model. Cultural geography allows Hoberman to restore Jewish American writers to their roles as important, active members of the American literary landscape from the 1850s to the present, and to argue that Jewish history, American literary history, and the inhabitation of American geography are, and always have been, contiguous entities. A Hundred Acres of America makes its case by investigating both canonical and extra-canonical literary depictions of six geographies: the frontier, the small town, the urban, the suburban, America as seen from Europe, and Israel as seen from America. Hoberman reads dozens of representative texts closely, and analyzes a wide range of authors, from frontier-era memoirists and turn-of-the-century native-born reformers to contemporary novelists. He adroitly demonstrates that Jewish American authors are not only present throughout American literary history, but actively shaped this history with writings that often subverted or contradicted the ways their non-Jewish peers depicted these geographies"--
