Maybe it was the isolation of the tree-lined open road on a sunny spring day in April, or the physical distance from his problems, but for the moment Charlie was happy. Each bend in this narrow road from Roanoke, Virginia into West Virginia erased one peaceful scene and replaced it with another. Houses on the road were rare, and the few he spotted were seemingly abandoned. Choosing to enjoy the solitude, Charlie rode along slowly, even below the speed limit, a rarity in his fast paced life. To his left in one idyllic setting, a stag deer was bounding through a pasture followed by two younger does, drawing his attention to their freedom. They approached a fence and cleared it easily in a smooth gliding leap. They were out of sight in seconds, but the scene added to his feeling of contentment. Suddenly, in a shock of reality, Charlie saw a huge white truck come barreling down on him from behind at twice his speed. As his BMW and the truck approached a long sweeping curve, the truck moved over to pass. Hes crazy, Charlie thought as he hit his brakes and moved to the edge of the road, giving the truck driver the needed room to pass and slow down in time to handle the curve. I guess Im not the only one who needs to relax, Charlie thought, forgiving the trucker for trying to ruin his good day. Up ahead he could see the driver of the white truck taking chances, apparently in a rush to make a tight schedule, but Charlie knew he was pushing it too hard for the road they were on, a twisting two-lane state road with short straight passages followed by deceptively dangerous curves. Charlies gaze followed the speeding truck, as it became a smaller and smaller form on a long straight stretch of the road ahead. In a fateful moment the truck flashed its undercarriage at a curve in the road and careened out of sight. Several seconds later Charlie was viewing the wrecked truck on its side, about twenty feet below the roadway, tangled in the dense mountain foliage. If Charlie had not seen the truck leave the road, stopped and walked to the edge of the precipice, he would have driven past and never seen the wreckage, but there it was, lying helplessly on its side, having apparently flipped over before crashing into a huge old oak tree. It was a plain two-ton enclosed bed truck without markings of any kind. Lying on its left side its right front wheel was still turning, like a giant beast feeling the impulse to move as it lay dying. Smoke drifted up from the engine. But there was a strange silence. There were no calls for help, no signs of movement, and no other cars in sight. Charlie stumbled and scrambled down the steep bank, calling for someone to answer him. But he heard nothing. Through the broken windshield he could see the driver, who appeared dazed with blood on the left side of his head from an unseen cut, but he was moving. Since the drivers door was pressed into the dirt, Charlie knew the man could only escape through the passenger door, which was now on top. So Charlie climbed up to open it. Gravity made the task much harder than hed expected, but he did get it open. Keeping it open would be a full time job, so Charlie lowered the window and let the door fall back into place. By then the driver was alert, struggling to free himself, and crying out in pain at each movement. Just lay still, Charlie said, Ill go get some help. Theres no time for that, cried the tortured man, the engine is burning already, and I dont have an extinguisher. Lying on the trucks passenger door, with his head in the side window, Charlie almost pleaded, How can I help? He could see the mans bleeding leg trapped in the wreckage. Could it be freed in time? Pull me loose, the man shouted in pain and panic, offering Charlie his hand.

Hundreds of thousands lost their livelihoods, population sank, schools closed, and despair ruled many. In the midst of these trials, the destinies of three who came of age during that timePhilip Bennet, Liam Conti, and Ruth OBrienwere determined by the choice they made: that of fear or that of hope. As the three grapple with their situation and their yearning for significance, they discover their fight is part of a much larger struggle. Excerpt from the prefaceBarack Obama referring to Pennsylvanians, April 2008: Its not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who arent like them . . . That characterization is so far from the truth; an answer is in order. Fear \u0026amp; Hope is intended to be that answer. This novel is meant, first of all, to entertain because the Western Pennsylvania tragedies and triumphs are one heck of story. But it is also, in some small measure, meant to both rebuff Mr. Obamas pompous marginalization and point out the cautionary tales of high-cost mistakes made then that are being repeated today.

In the novel, a new direction of travel available to humans is discovered mathematically and later brought to reality by the main character Lyte Donner. Lyte, with the help of his female assistant Jaseta Zee, makes use of his newly developed technology in a variety of ways including erradicating drug rings, dissolving street gangs, busting international terrorist organizations, and many others. Due to ordinary forces of Earth gravity, this new direction of travel has gone unrealized until Lyte neutralizes gravity in a realistic way consistent with current cutting edge technology. Lyte then balances all other forces that could cause movement in every heretofore known direction and this in turn causes movement in the path of least resistance which is in the new direction. The novel refers to this new direction as the fourth dimension but hold on to your hats because this is not the usual concept of the fourth dimension. Much theory and fiction have already been advanced about the fourth dimension time-space continuum but this novel deals with none of that. New science is proposed in the novel and the new direction of movement is the result of extending the rules of 3-dimensional Euclidean space to 4-dimensional space. It is Euclidean Four Space. Before arguing the point, the question is who can prove that this space doesnt exist? Caution is called for here. Proceed with an open mind. Lyte uses a device called the INTEGRAL to move into the new space which fully encompasses every point in the old ordinary space. A person reading the novel for the first time will likely make judgments based of his\/her circle of knowledge and frame of reference and could refer to the INTEGRAL as a Teleportation device. This is new science. It would be a mistake to call the INTEGRAL a Teleportation device. The characters simply move into a new space. They are not teleported anywhere. Teleportation was probably a term new to many of us and introduced by the entertainment industry during the 1960s. We have advanced far beyond that and few if any of the old clichs are adequately able to describe the new science axiomated by the novel. It took several years to develop and complete the novel. The novel was completed prior to the events of 9\/11\/01. Ironically, Lyte Donners first lead to terrorists in the book was centered around a pair of Middle Easterners traveling from London to Paris. The subject of terrorism is a major part of the book. The novel culminates on a complication of terrorism, which is resolved nicely. The book is alive with patriotism (again written even before the events of 9\/11\/01). Patriotism is now alive and well again in our country. It is a popular thing at present and throughout the novel, patriotism is thrust to the forefront. The book even explains how and why patriotism was subdued for such a long period of time, from Lytes point of view of course. In the book, the term Ground Zero is used in its original sense. The term has now become a well recognized and repeated term. The book is appropriate for the time. The events described in the book are purely ficticious. Any resemblences to real events is strictly coincidental. Although the events in the book are fictional, some (but not all) of the events in the book carry an underlying theme that should be the concern of every American citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53036560974103,"sku":null,"price":1185.41,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781477163788.jpg?v=1777966968"},{"product_id":"love-in-our-language-9781477163771","title":"Love in Our Language","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is no available information at this time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53036561137943,"sku":null,"price":1185.41,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781477163771.jpg?v=1777966974"},{"product_id":"honored-by-man-vol-2-middle-9781477167953","title":"Honored by Man- Vol. 2 Middle","description":"\u003cp\u003eHonored By Man is an historical novel about the Trojan War.

And its angry. The source of its anger is Jimmy Parker, who inherited a lot of money when his parents died and up until now has been very prudent and careful with it. But when he purchases two hundred acres of shoreline property on Lake Superior in Michigans Upper Peninsula, he takes a chance to fulfill a childhood dream. He gets much, much more. His purchase is laughed at by his brother, and questioned by his best friend, Gwen. But Jimmy has never felt more positive about anything in his life. On that property, on a hillside west of the village of Grand Marais, Michigan, lies the remains of an old lighthouse. Once a symbol of hope to those who had lost their way on the cold lake, the building has been reduced to a forgotten collection of crumbled mortar and broken glass. Stories of the original lighthouse keeper still filter through the community. Stories of a man obsessed with the responsibility of tending the light. Of a man who didnt just live inside the lighthouse, but became a part of it. And then Jimmy decides to have it rebuilt. Once he does that, he unwittingly jumps into a centuries old war between the fury of the lake, and one mans determination to defy it. Shortly after the rebuilding is complete the lighthouse shines again. And once again a vessel lost on Lake Superior is brought home safely. Except the vessel is the Lucerne. And it sank in 1886. Soon other vessels come ashore in respone to the lighthouses call: The Thomas Wilson, which went down after a collision with another ship in 1902; the Hudson, a freighter that took 24 men to the bottom of the lake with her in 1901. The lake is losing its prized trophies to the light along the shore. Jimmy finds himself on the front line of a grudge match between the lighthouse and the lake. A tug of war between the light of promise, and the darkness that is the bottom of Lake Superior. Now with the aid of the local historian, Jimmy is scrambling to find a journal once kept by the original lighthouse keeper. If he can find it, he might better understand the spirit of the man who once tended the light, and why that spirit rages on all these years later. But hed better do it fast. Because with each passing day more and more people are drawn to Grand Marais, pulled in for some unknown reason to the shoreline where the old ships are resting. They arrive in cars and motorhomes, in groups or by themselves. They arrive not looking for answers, but for some final conclusion to the tragedies that have marked their own lives. Tragedies that are inexplicably linked with the force that is Lake Superior. As they race to find the old journal, Jimmys relationship with Gwen undergoes a transformation. And suddenly seeing this thing to the end doesnt seem as enticing without her with him. He feels that the lighthouse is his responsibility. That its now his watch. But it wont be easy. His opponent is the largest body of fresh water in the world. A body of water so cold death results in minutes. One that can lull you to sleep with serene calm one minute, then lash out with frightening authority the next. An opponent without eyes Jimmy can see or a voice that he can hear, but one with an unearthly fury that only grows as each ship rises. An opponent whose anger is unleashed in the explosiveness of its assault on the shoreline. And an opponent who waits, patiently and menacingly, for Jimmy to make a mistake. Because if he does, then the lake will welcome him, as it has thousands of others, into the Graveyard of the Great Lakes.

From most outside appearances, the Owenses are a normal, middle-class family who live in a big house in a nice neighborhood. Both the parents and the children have their crosses to bear, some ordinary and of this world, and some not. In spite of this, they each seem able to get up in the morning and face, if not accept, what lies ahead. But, walking a rope such as this can be done for only so long. What is truly going on in that house would cause the strongest of spirits to turn away. This novel follows a family as it tries to survive domestic abuse. It depicts the effects of screaming and throwing and yelling and the use of words meant to kill. It shows what happens when there is an ongoing war in your home. The Owenses story illustrates that what you do in front of your children, you do to your children. And the consequences are much more deleterious than those not realizing, not meaning to harm, expect. Amidst the ugliness, however, there are also dreams, magic, and hope. And the presence of ghostly activity in the Owenses house causes the reader to question the true catalyst of what has found this family. Theres Meggie, the wife and mother, who has lived most of her life the way she has been expected to, not questioning, not rising up, just following her duty, knowing somewhere inside that she has a penance to pay. There are the children: Elizabeth, whose anger is making a slow burn through her skin, who is most likely the only one in this family who actually sees what is going on. Grace, whose visions and clear eyes lend a certain magic to an otherwise oftentimes hopeless world. Danny, the only boy, whose dedication to making things right, trying to place order back into a chaotic world, almost ruins him. And Annabelle, whose tiny body and youngest mind help her to hide, but also cause her never to be seen -- not when it counts. And, finally, theres Dan, the husband and father -- a kind, funny man at times -- he finds himself in a place he never intended, where rage and a sense of injustice start the quakes in his house, in his children.

It is also known as a congregation ground for crystal crunchers, self-proclaimed visionaries and mystics. There are a few true healers here, but they shun the media and the publicity that others come here to seek. Two of them feel a shift in balance one evening, and know something bad has come to this healing spot. A father and son serial killer team has stopped by in Sedona on the way north to Canada. With them, they bring all the hate that drives them to keep killing. They have a well-refined method of finding, keeping and finally killing their subjects, and are experts at leaving no trace. They have remained at large as they perform these acts while travelling through seven states. This story is about the healers, and how they, with the help of a USFS volunteer and his search\/rescue dog, Sam find out what has happened and how to make it go away before more killings occur. Mike and Linda Harris are residents of Sedona, Arizona. They relocated to Sedona in 2003, leaving California for a less-structured and more healthful lifestyle in a peaceful, beautiful place. Both are graduates of SDSU, and Mike has authored several books under his name on technical subjects, including some which remain in the classified domain. He is from a Business Development background with emphasis on contract electronics for Defense Electronics companies. Linda has a Business degree, and was most recently a Director of Resident Programs at one of the largest multi-level senior care facilities in Southern California. She has been on television, and is credited for assisting in the establishment of the ethics committee under which many of the senior care facilities operate today. Both, with the assistance of Sam, co-wrote this book. Both Mike and Linda are active in the Sedona area, volunteering under USFS programs which are dedicated to preservation of the Sedona wildlife preserves and trail systems.
