The Delaware River Water War

By: Robert Flowers

This book I would hope would open the minds of alot of people who refuse to accept the greatness of the afro- american, and all those who climb from the bottom, and want to be recognize for their glory and not their short comings.In the mist of this day i want people to know they can achieve anything they set out to achieve, and don't let no one tell you different. When putting these poems together my theme was for us to rise as people and stop killing one another and start helping one another, for now is the time to rise, for tomorrow may overcome your true radiance!

The Falcon and the Snowman

A True Story of Friendship and Espionage

By: Robert Lindsey

This fascinating account of how two young Americans turned traitor during the Cold War is an “absolutely smashing real-life spy story” (The New York Times Book Review). At the height of the Cold War, some of the nation’s most precious secrets passed through a CIA contractor in Southern California. Only a handful of employees were cleared to handle the intelligence that came through the Black Vault. One of them was Christopher John Boyce, a hard-partying genius with a sky-high IQ, a passion for falconry, and little love for his country. Security at the Vault was so lax, Boyce couldn’t help but be tempted. And when he gave in, the fate of the free world would hang in the balance. With the help of his best friend, Andrew Daulton Lee, a drug dealer with connections south of the border, Boyce began stealing classified documents and selling them to the Soviet embassy in Mexico City. It was an audacious act of treason, committed by two spoiled young men who were nearly always drunk, stoned, or both—and were about to find themselves caught in the middle of a fight between the CIA and the KGB. This Edgar Award–winning book was the inspiration for the critically acclaimed film starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn—a true story as thrilling as any dreamed up by Ian Fleming or John le Carré. Before Edward Snowden, there were Boyce and Lee, two of the most unlikely spies in the history of the Cold War.

Materialism, Minds, and Cartesian Dualism

By: Robert Francis Almeder

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Materialism, Minds, and Cartesian Dualism

By: Robert Francis Almeder

Materialism, Minds, and Cartesian Dualism offers a history of how philosophers and scientists have thought about mind/body problems, especially as it concerns the question of consciousness after death. This book interrogates the last thirty years of scientific research on reincarnation, considering a series of case studies impossible to explain in any other way than persisting consciousness after death. Although this book does not attempt to argue why or how some people reincarnate and how long they reincarnate. It argues that these case studies demonstrate in compelling ways that some people have indeed to some degree reincarnated. Therefore the philosophical materialist position that only physical objects exist is refuted.

Robert Copland

Poems

By: Robert Copland

Robert Copland (fl. 1505-1546) had a long career as a poet, translator, and printer, and his achievements were substantial. As a printer, he worked for and with Wynkyn de Worde, and his editions look back to the work of Caxton, de Worde's master, and forward, through the work of his successor William Copland, to the Elizabethan period. As a translator, he worked at a time when foreign languages were becoming increasingly necessary to the average Englishman. John Berdan calls Copland one of the main channels of French influence in England during this period. This book makes available the lively poetry of a pre-Renaissance world. In includes lyl of Braintfords Testament, a bequest of farts poem indebted to Chaucer's Summoner's Tale; The Seuen Sorowes That Women Haue When Theyr Husbandes Be Deade, in which conventional misogynist satire moves into psychological complexity; and Copland's most important work, The Hye Way to the Spyttell Hous, an account of vagabond life outside the law in which thieves' cant first sees print. All Copland's work displays a singularly personal quality: as H.R. Plomer says, 'The voice of Robert Copland imparts life to the faint outline that we have of him.' Additional information is contained in the biographical material and notes and glossary. This is a valuable contribution to social history and will be of special interest to those concerned with the early history of English printing.

Now Robert is back and is here to debunk the ever pervasive myths around the trail-blazing rebel outsider.... Our culture celebrates outsiders while – in reality – slamming the door in their face.

By getting The Outside Edge you can: Identity and understand the causes of feeling like an "outsider" Accept yourself while focusing on "finding meaning" for your life Motivate yourself using strong goals, often harnessing creativity Acquire the skills needed to succeed on your own terms Avoid pitfalls such as poor judgement, negativity and extremism.

Around the World with Mark Twain

By: Robert Cooper

Around the World with Mark Twain

By: Robert Cooper

Follow in the footsteps of one of America's most beloved writers, the immortal Mark Twain, as he circles the globe, performing before dozens of standing-room-only crowds.On July 14, 1895, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain, fifty-nine years old and deeply in debt, boarded a night train from Elmira to Cleveland and launched an unprecedented worldwide performance tour. A superb platform entertainer and an international celebrity, Clemens saw the tour as a quick way to make the money he desperately needed to pay his creditors and recoup his fortune, and so he began a journey that took him across North America to Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. One hundred years later, American writer Robert Cooper set out from Elmira in pursuit of Twain, following virtually every step of the legendary writer's itinerary across four continents.In this remarkable feat of biographical recreation, we see Clemens make his way to the smelters, roasting ovens, and smokestacks of Butte, Montana, where pollution was so horrific that not even grass could grow; to Baroda, India, where he examined the gold and silver ornaments of the ruler's elephants and noted their proximity to an utterly destitute village; and to a vermin-infested jail in Pretoria, South Africa, where he lifted the spirits of some of the country's richest men, the imprisoned members of the Reform Committee who had been convicted of treason by the Boer government. We glimpse Clemens the consummate professional, constantly rehearsing his routines so that they would seem completely spontaneous. And we even see Twain the celebrity: railing against late trains and ferries, grumbling about hotel accommodations, and complaining about ill health and the tedium and drudgery of endless one-night stands, all the while basking in the adulation and affection of his audiences, enjoying the all-male camaraderie of club suppers and press conferences, and delighting in meeting the great and powerful of the lands through which he traveled.Drawing upon a wide range of primary sources and first-hand accounts-including Clemens's letters, journal entries, and notes; his comments to local newspapers; the letters of his wife and daughter who accompanied him; and the observations of his tour managers-Robert Cooper has created an utterly absorbing combination of travel writing, social history, character study, and historiography. The first book-length treatment of this heroic journey since Clemens's own century-old narrative, Around the World with Mark Twain is a fascinating account of an extraordinary year in the life of an American icon.
