  • Ken Follett, the Renowned Author Whose Novels Have Topped Best Seller Lists in the US As Well As Internationally
    >> This is Matt Raymond at the Library of Congress. For the past nine years, book lovers of all ages have gathered in Washington DC to celebrate reading at the Library of Congress's National Book Festival. This year, the Library is proud to commemorate a decade of words and wonder at the tenth annual National Book Festival on September twenty fifth, 2010. President and Missus Obama are honorary chairs of the event, which provides DC locals and visitors from across the country and around the world the opportunity to see and meet their favorite authors, illustrators, and poets. The festival is free and open to the public. It's held between third and seventh streets from 10 am to 5 30 pm rain or shine. And joining me now is Ken Follett, the renowned author whose novels have topped best seller lists in the US as well as internationally. His latest work, Fall of Giants, comes out on September twenty eighth, just a few days after the National Book Festival. It's the first book of the Century Trilogy, a series that will chronicle twentieth century history through the stories of five families. While some have deemed the Century Trilogy to be Follett's most ambitious project to date, his prior work has been both prolific and wildly popular. He's perhaps most well known for his novel, Pillars of the Earth. Several of his books have been adapted for both the big and the small screens. Mister Follett, it's a pleasure to have you with us today. >> Thanks for having me on the show.

  • A Ballard and Bosch Thriller Michael Connelly
    AUSTRALIA OCTOBER 2019 The Night Fire: A Ballard and Bosch Thriller Michael Connelly Harry Bosch and LAPD Detective Renee Ballard come together again on the murder case that obsessed Bosch's mentor, the man who trained him to be a homicide detective - new from #1 bestselling author Michael Connelly. Description Back when Harry Bosch was just a rookie homicide detective, he had an inspiring mentor who taught him to take the work personally and light the fire of relentlessness for every case. Now that mentor, J.J. Thompson, is dead, but after his funeral his widow hands Bosch a murder book that Thompson took with him when he left the LAPD 20 years before - the unsolved killing of a troubled young man in an alley used for drug deals. Bosch brings the murder book to Renee Ballard and asks her to help him find what about the case lit Thompson's fire all those years ago. That will be their starting point. The bond between Bosch and Ballard tightens as they become a formidable investigation team. And they soon arrive at a worrying question: Did Thompson steal the murder book to work the case in retirement, or to make sure it never got solved? About the Author A former police reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Michael Connelly is the international bestselling author of the Harry Bosch thriller series and the legal thriller series featuring Mickey Haller, as well as several stand-alone bestsellers. His most recent #1 bestseller is Dark Sacred Night, in which the legendary Harry Bosch joins forces with Connelly's newest LAPD protagonist, Detective Renee Ballard.

Scripture taken from the King James Version of the Bible. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Isaiah wrote during the stormy period marking the expansion of the Assyrian empire and the decline of Israel. Under King Tiglath-Pileser III (745-727 B.C.) the Assyrians swept westward into Aram (Syria) and Canaan. About 733 the kings of Aram and Israel tried to pressure Ahaz king of Judah into joining a coalition against Assyria. Ahaz chose instead to ask Tiglath-Pileser for help, a decision condemned by Isaiah (see note on 7:1).

  • A Békés Harcosok Útjai
    Játékmechanikák 3. fejezet: A békés harcosok útjai A játékmechanikákról szóló cikksorozat harmadik és negyedik részében a játékosok akciólehetőségeiből válogatunk össze egy nagy csokorral, hogy lássuk, mi mindent csinálhatunk a különböző társasjátékokban. Egyelőre nem lesz szó sem az absztrakt logikai játékokról, sem a partijátékokról, ezeket önálló cikkekben fogjuk bemutatni a későbbiek során – most kifejezetten a stratégiai játékokban alkalmazott akciókat fogjuk körüljárni. Elsőként a békésebb, kevésbé konfrontatív játékokban alkalmazott mechanikákról lesz szó, a jövő hónapban pedig a különféle harcrendszerek bemutatásával folytatjuk a most megkezdett témát. Az akciókat és a játé- kosok közötti interakciókat tekintve ugyanis általában erre a két nagy csoportra szoktuk bontani a játékokat: vannak a békés játékok, ahol gazdálkodunk, gyűjtögetünk, feladatokat oldunk meg, de ahhoz, hogy győzzünk, nem szükséges a többi játékos frontális legyőzése vagy megsemmisítése, a saját boldogulásunkhoz nem kell velük direkt kiszúrnunk és őket gátolnunk. A társasjátékok másik nagy csoportjában azonban e nélkül egy- szerűen nem lehet győzni, muszáj konfrontálódni, támadni, és valamilyen módon legyőzni a többieket. Ha másképpen akarok fogalmazni, akkor az egyik játéktípusban el kell érni egy célt, legyen szó egy bizonyos győ- zelmi pontszám, pénz vagy fejlettségi szint eléréséről, vagy egyszerűen az győz, akinek ezekből a legtöbb lesz a játék végén, a másikban pedig le kell győzni egy, több vagy az összes többi játékostársunkat, mert pont ez a játék célja

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Paper Money by Ken Follett Pan Am Across the Atlantic
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Paper Money by Ken Follett Pan Am Across the Atlantic. Pan American had its eyes on the Atlantic market almost from the beginning of the airline’s history. The crossing between Europe and America was one of the most heavily traveled passenger routes in the world; in 1925, about a million passengers crossed the North Atlantic. The world’s largest and most prestigious ocean liners were in service on the North Atlantic, and the passage between Europe and the United States boasted more first class passengers (and potential airline customers) than any other steamship route; about 180,000 passengers crossed the Atlantic in first class in 1925. Perhaps even more importantly, a tremendous quantity of mail (the keystone of any airline’s revenue in the early days of commercial aviation) as well as express packages and valuable freight carried between Europe and the United States. Pan American assumed that its natural expansion, after its success in Latin America, would be across the Atlantic, and the requirements of a transatlantic crossing dictated Pan American’s specifications for a new aircraft in the early 1930’s, which would become the S-42 and M-130. Pan American also made early investments in the route, including the purchase of landing rights from the government of Iceland for $55,000 in 1932. But political and diplomatic roadblocks, primarily set by the British, frustrated Pan Am’s ambitions to offer service across the Atlantic, which remained stalled for most of the 1930’s, even as the German airships Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg began regularly scheduled passenger and mail service between Europe and America.

  • History of Islamic Philosophy Henry Corbin
    History of Islamic Philosophy Henry Corbin Translated by Liadain Sherrard with the assistance of Philip Sherrard KEGAN PAUL INTERNATIONAL London and New York in association with ISLAMIC PUBLICATIONS for THE INSTITUTE OF ISMAILI STUDIES London The Institute of Ismaili Studies, London The Institute of Ismaili Studies was established in 1977 with the object of promoting scholarship and learning on Islam, in the historical as well as contemporary context, and a better understanding of its relationship with other societies and faiths. The Institute's programmes encourage a perspective which is not confined to the theological and religious heritage of Islam, but seek to explore the relationship of religious ideas to broader dimensions of society and culture. They thus encourage an inter-disciplinary approach to the materials of Islamic history and thought. Particular attention is also given to issues of modernity that arise as Muslims seek to relate their heritage to the contemporary situation. Within the Islamic tradition, the Institute's programmes seek to promote research on those areas which have had relatively lesser attention devoted to them in secondary scholarship to date. These include the intellectual and literary expressions of Shi'ism in general, and Ismailism in particular. In the context of Islamic societies, the Institute's programmes are informed by the full range and diversity of cultures in which Islam is practised today, from the Middle East, Southern and Central Asia and Africa to the industrialized societies of the West, thus taking into consideration the variety of contexts which shape the ideals, beliefs and practices of the faith. The publications facilitated by the Institute will fall into several distinct categories: 1 Occasional papers or essays addressing broad themes of the relationship between religion and society in the historical as well as modern context, with special reference to Islam, but encompassing, where appropriate, other faiths and cultures.
