Before Topgun Days The Making of a Jet Fighter Instructor by Dave Bio Baranek
epub | 3.65 MB | English | Dave Baranek | 2018 | Skyhorse Publishing | Page: 236
About Before Topgun Days The Making of a Jet Fighter Instructor by Dave Bio Baranek :
The elite navy pilot and author of Topgun Days tells the thrilling story of his struggle to become one of the best to ever take the skies.
An instructor in the navy's Topgun Program, Dave "Bio" Baranek had always dreamed of becoming a jet fighter. After graduating from college, he joined the navy to pursue that goal. Though deteriorating eyesight would keep that dream from becoming a reality, he soon found his calling as a radar intercept operator in the backseat of the sleek, new a Grumman F-14 Tomcat.
Before Topgun Days puts you in the cockpit alongside Baranek as he embarks on the greatest adventure of a lifetime. Set before the events recounted in his previous memoir, Topgun Days, Baranek gives an honest and unflinching account of the anxieties, disappointments and excitements of entering the nerve-wracking and high-stakes world of fighter jocks.
"This is an aviator's book-for anyone who loves to reach for the sky." -Wolfgang W. Samuel, Colonel, USAF (Ret.), author of German Boy and In Defense of Freedom
"Only someone who has actually experienced the demanding instruction required to earn this unique position in a flight crew, followed by the months of deployments in the fleet in a combat-ready F-14 squadron, could hope to tell this story in such deeply personal detail . . . Great job, Bio!" -Peter Mersky, author of Whitey, F-8 vs. MiG-17, and US Marine Corps Aviation since 1912

About Body Hea :
From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of Celery Juice and Liver Rescue, here's everything you need to know about cleansing to transform your health--and your life.
If you think you don't have any need to do a cleanse--if you're sure you couldn't possibly be harboring any toxins in your body--think again. In today's world, there are poisons and pathogens that threaten our health starting before we're even born, and they continue to hold us back as we encounter them in our everyday life.
Cleansing is a vital tool for fighting against these burdens--as long as you go about it the right way. That's why you need this book. Anthony William, the Medical Medium, has placed a vast wealth of insight and information into a one-stop resource for cleansing of all kinds, starting with his acclaimed nine-day 3:6:9 Cleanse and expanding into life-saving protocols for specific health needs--including an anti-bug cleanse, a morning cleanse, and a heavy metal detox.
You'll discover:
• How to choose the cleanse that's right for you
• A deep dive into the causes of your symptoms and conditions
• Critical cleanse dos and don'ts, including modifications and substitutions
• The truth about trendy topics such as intermittent fasting and the microbiome
• A guide to supplements you may choose to add to your cleanse
• The physical reasons why cleansing can be an emotional experience
• More than 75 recipes and sample menus to get you through your Medical Medium cleanse
• Spiritual and soul support to remind you that healing is possible
"The cleanses in this book speak to what's truly going wrong inside of our bodies that no trendy lifestyle approach can ever address," Anthony writes. "Have compassion for yourself and know that your suffering is not your fault. Your struggles are not your fault. You're accomplishing great things every single hour and day as you work on your healing process with the powerful tools in this book. I believe you can heal."

Denton Little's Deathdate takes place in a world exactly like our own except that everyone kno the day on which they will die. For Denton, that's in just two days-the day of his senior prom.
Despite his early deathdate, Denton has always wanted to live a normal life, but his final days are filled with dramatic firsts. First hangover. First sex. First love triangle-as the first sex seems to have happened not with his adoring girlfriend, but with his best friend's hostile sister. (Though he's not totally sure-see, first hangover.) His anxiety builds when he discovers a strange purple rash making its way up his body. Is this what will kill him? And then a strange man sho up at his funeral, claiming to have known Denton's long-deceased mother, and warning him to beware of suspicious government characters. . . . Suddenly Denton's life is filled with mysterious questions and precious little time to find the answers.
Fall in love with Denton Little!

Looking for Balance China, the United States, and Power Balancing in East Asia
pdf | 1.59 MB | English | Chan, Steve | 2013 | Stanford University Press; 1 edition | Page: 298
About Looking for Balance China, the United States, and Power Balancing in East Asia :
Debate surrounding "China's rise," and the prospects of its possible challenge to America's preeminence, has focused on two questions: whether the United States should "contain" or "engage" China; and whether the rise of Chinese power has inclined other East Asian states to "balance" against Beijing by alignment with the United States or ramping up their military expenditures.
By drawing on alternative theoretic approaches-most especially "balance-of-threat" theory, political economic theory, and theories of regime survival and economic interdependence, Steve Chan is able to create an explanation of regional developments that differs widely from the traditional "strategic vision" of national interest.
He concludes that China's primary aim is not to match U.S. military might or the foreign policy influence that flo from that power, and that its neighbors are not balancing against its rising power because, in today's guns-versus-butter fiscal reality, balancing policies would entail forfeiting possible gains that can accrue from cooperation, economic growth, and the application of GDP to nonmilitary ends. Instead, most East Asian countries have collectively pivoted to a strategy of elite legitimacy and regime survival based on economic performance.

Lucid Dreams
Within hours of secreting the case Jayne suddenly finds himself back on the Cobb homestead with his brother Matty miraculously cured of the damplung. Wash is at the controls of the highest-spec cruiser money can buy, the billionaire head of a 'verse-spanning business empire. All of the crew but River are soon immersed in vivid hallucinations of their deepest desires, while their bodies lie insensible on the ship.
Fantasties gone sour
Wash's empire begins to crumble; the Cobb ranch is under attack by merciless bandits. As everyone's daydreams turn nightmare, Serenity floats on a crash course towards a barren moon, with only River standing between the crew and certain oblivion.

Fraud An American History from Barnum to Madoff by Edward J Balleisen
epub | 6.12 MB | English | Balleisen, Edward J.; | 2017 | Princeton University Press | Page: 482
About Fraud An American History from Barnum to Madoff by Edward J Balleisen :
A comprehensive history of fraud in America, from the early nineteenth century to the subprime mortgage crisis
The United States has always proved an inviting home for boosters, sharp dealers, and outright swindlers. Worship of entrepreneurial freedom has complicated the task of distinguishing aggressive salesmanship from unacceptable deceit, especially on the frontiers of innovation. At the same time, competitive pressures have often nudged respectable firms to embrace deception. As a result, fraud has been a key feature of American business since its beginnings. In this sweeping narrative, Edward Balleisen traces the history of fraud in America-and the evolving efforts to combat it-from the age of P. T. Barnum through the eras of Charles Ponzi and Bernie Madoff.
Starting with an early nineteenth-century American legal world of "buyer beware," this unprecedented account describes the slow, piecemeal construction of modern regulatory institutions to protect consumers and investors, from the Gilded Age through the New Deal and the Great Society. It concludes with the more recent era of deregulation, which has brought with it a spate of costly frauds, including the savings and loan crisis, corporate accounting scandals, and the recent mortgage-marketing debacle.
By tracing how Americans have struggled to foster a vibrant economy without enabling a corrosive level of fraud, this book reminds us that American capitalism rests on an uneasy foundation of social trust.
