Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Milton Kaiser is a quiet, unassuming individual, living in a small crossroads community in Kansas. No one thinks him a nerd, just a mild mannered family man who runs the country store. Milton is also the town Marshal, a part time job that has more title than substance. Milton's life of near boredom takes an exciting turn when a local recluse is found dead from an apparant hunting accident and the Marshal is summoned to investigate the old man's death. Milton soon receives harrassment from the local sheriff, he finds his wife is cheating on him and his store is burned to the ground, but Milton is stubborn and chases the truth, sorting out the puzzle behind the so called accident. He dispenses simple justice as he sees it, doing it Milton's Way.

An Adventure of Discovery through Then, When, and the Power of Now

By: Eckhart Tolle,Robert S. Friedman

For the first time ever, bestselling author Eckhart Tolle brings the core of his teachings to children, ages 7 to 100. Beautifully illustrated and artfully expressed, this charming story will bring joy to children and their parents for decades to come. Milton, who is about eight years old, is experiencing bullying on the school playground at the hands of a boy named Carter. Because he is being picked on, Milton no longer enjoys going to school. In fact, he dreads each morning because of his fear of Carter. By discovering the difference between Then, When, and the Now, Milton is able to shed his fear of being bullied. Living in the Now, he no longer dreads encountering Carter--and this changes everything. Milton's Secret will not only appeal to the millions of adult readers of Tolle's other books, but also to any parent who wants to introduce their children to the core of Tolle's teachings: Living in the Now is the quickest path to ending fear and suffering.

Master of the Air

William Tunner and the Success of Military Airlift

By: Robert A. Slayton

When the western Allies moved to consolidate their areas of control in occupied Germany, the USSR responded by cutting off land access to West Berlin, holding over two million residents of that city hostage in an aggressive act of brinkmanship. General William Henry Tunner was given a task that seemed doomed to failure--to supply a major city by air with everything it needed to survive from food to a winter's supply of coal--and made it a brilliant success, astonishing the world in a major public relations defeat for the Soviets, and demonstrating the unexpected capacity of air fleets in a postwar world.

The Language of the Heart, 1600-1750

By: Robert A. Erickson

Erickson (English, U. of California-Santa Barbara) examines both scientific and romantic portrayals of the human heart in early modern English literature. After reviewing the Biblical heart, he considers William Harvey's model of a phallic pump in a feminized body, Milton's Paradise Lost, Richardson's Clarissa, Aphra Behn's Oroonoke as a women's perspective, and other works.

Divided Empire

Milton's Political Imagery

By: Robert Thomas Fallon

In Divided Empire, Robert T. Fallon examines the influence of John Milton's political experience on his great poems: Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes. This study is a natural sequel to Fallon's previous book, Milton in Government, which examined Milton's decade of service as Secretary for Foreign Languages to the English Republic. Milton's works are crowded with political figures—kings, counselors, senators, soldiers, and envoys—all engaged in a comparable variety of public acts—debate, decree, diplomacy, and warfare—in a manner similar to those who exercised power on the world stage during his time in public office. Traditionally, scholars have cited this imagery for two purposes: first, to support studies of the poet's political allegiances as reflected in his prose and his life; and, second, to demonstrate that his works are sympathetic to certain ideological positions popular in present times. Fallon argues that Paradise Lost is not a political testament, however, and to read its lines as a critique of allegiances and ideologies outside the work is limit the range and scope of critical inquiry and to miss the larger purpose of the political imagery within the poem. That imagery, the author proposes, like that of all Milton's later works, serves to illuminate the spiritual message, a vision of the human soul caught up in the struggle between vast metaphysical forces of good and evil. Fallon seeks to enlarge the range of critical inquiry by assessing the influence of personal and historical events upon art, asking, as he puts it, "not what the poetry says about the events, but what the events say about the poetry." Divided Empire probes, not Milton's judgment on his sources, but the use he made of them.

Freedom of Expression in the 21st Century

By: Robert Trager,Donna L. Dickerson

Precisely because freedom of expression varies across countries and cultures and across media types, freedom of expression is discussed across a spectrum of geopolitical and technological contexts. Robert Trager and Donna L. Dickerson investigate the tensions between censorship and expression, to reveal how complex, culturally charged, and historically deep these tensions can be. Discussions are typically framed around social issues and set in contexts that allow readers to see connections between expression and commerce, politics, economics, class, race, and gender. The new frontier of digital communications, especially the Internet, is revealed as the latest battleground for law and social policy.
