Spies of Revolutionary Connecticut: From Benedict Arnold to Nathan Hale

Spies of Revolutionary Connecticut: From Benedict Arnold to Nathan Hale

Mark Allen Baker

History Press
2014
nidottu
Covert intelligence played a critical role in the American Revolution. Connecticut produced an extraordinary number of spies on both sides of the conflict, from the infamous traitor and Norwich-born Benedict Arnold to Patriot Nathan Hale, executed by the British for espionage. Spying during the Revolution entailed coded messages, early submarines with the first exploding torpedoes and the penalty of death for those caught in the act. Despite the risk, some spies even played both sides as double agents, such as Edward Bancroft, who was never caught. With stories of Silas Deane, Ethan Allen, Thomas Knowlton, the Culper Spy Ring and others, author Mark Allen Baker navigates the intrigues, dangers and double crosses of Connecticut's most legendary Revolutionary spies.

M223: The Journey from a Tyneside Teenager to a Teesside Police Constable

Mark Thornton

From as early as he could remember, Mark Thornton wanted to be a bobby on the beat. He had watched a lot of TV in his childhood years of the 1970s, from Starsky and Hutch to Z-Cars, Dickson of Dock Green and Sweeney. His dream job was to put on a big hat and walk around, helping people and communities. It was his mam who saw the news article advertising a force's recruitment drive. In what seemed like only a matter of days he was part of that recruit selection and was soon told he was in: he was to become an officer of the law. These pages outline Mark's first two years' probationary period, detailing some of the funnier experiences he faced and the scrapes he and his shift navigated. Those early years helped to shape Mark's 30-year career in the police, something he looks back on now with pride and a smile. He hopes the book will make you smile and realise how much things have changed in a relatively short time period.

Daughter (Waiting for Her Drunk Father to Return from the Men's Room)

Mark Leyner

LITTLE, BROWN COMPANY
2022
pokkari
An anthropologist and his daughter travel to Kermunkachunk, the capital of Chalazia, to conduct research for an ethnography on the Chalazian Mafia Faction (a splinter group of the Chalazian Children's Theater). The book takes place over the course of a night at the Bar Pulpo, Kermunkachunk's #1 spoken-word karaoke bar. Moreover, it's Thursday, "Father/Daughter Nite," when the bar is frequented by actual fathers and daughters as well as couples cosplaying fathers and daughters.Somehow emanating from the letters on an optometrist's eye chart, from karaoke screens in the bar, and from posters on a piazza that's the scene of phantasmagorical and unending mob wars, Last Orgy of the Divine Hermit relentlessly pulls the rug out from under itself, leaving you suspended in a state of perpetual exhilaration.Leyner, one of the most blazingly imaginative and influential writers of the last thirty years, has not only written his funniest novel, he's broken through to something entirely unprecedented. Imagine tripping on a hallucinogen made by an alien intelligence and then wanting to immediately call your dad (in this world or the next) and tell him that you love him-that's what reading Last Orgy of the Divine Hermit is like.It's a novel about the deep pleasures of reading and drinking, the tumultuous reign of a cabal of mystic mobsters, and, of course, the transcendent love of a father for his daughter. Last Orgy of the Divine Hermit is like nothing else you've ever read before.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Young Forever, a "roadmap to reclaiming our vitality" from the powerful web of corporate interests hijacking our food, our health, and our future (Dr. Casey Means, author of Good Energy) A fully updated and uncensored edition of 2020 tour de force FOOD FIX from New York Times bestselling author Mark Hyman Poor diet is now the single biggest killer on the planet. More than 60% of Americans are living with chronic disease, which causes 50 million deaths a year globally. One in two Americans and one in four teenagers have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, and 38% of children are overweight or obese. Meanwhile, our food is more processed, more toxic, and less nourishing than ever, with ultraprocessed foods comprising 67% of children's calories, 80% of the food in grocery stores, and 60% of the Standard American Diet. This is no accident, says #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman. It is the logical outcome of a food system engineered for power and profit over the health of the American public. In this fully updated and uncensored edition of his 2020 tour de force, Hyman exposes how the toxic triad of Big Food, Big Ag, and Big Pharma keep us trapped in a cycle of illness and addiction - and how to fight back, reverse the epidemic of chronic disease, and make America healthy again. Pairing cutting-edge developments in nutritional science with an unflinching look at the dark realities of the global food system, Food Fix Uncensored will change the way you think about--and eat--food forever.

The capacity for everyday heroics is in each of us. Sometimes the most ordinary accomplishment can be the height of inspiration, if only we knew the journey that person traveled to reach that accomplishment. These stories are all around us, if only we stop, look, and listen.This is one story.Perhaps it starts lying in the back of an ambulance, wondering if I would walk again, and thinking, with a strange sense of relief, "This is the bottom. It can only get better from here."Perhaps it starts with a young kid discovering that he had enough athleticism to be more than just the bullied nerd.Really it starts with the gradual awakening, that crippled though I was, I wasn't going to give in to being that sad, out of shape, middle aged guy. Awakening became determination. One run, one race at a time determination became accomplishment. Accomplishment became discovery. Rediscovering the love and inspiration of my family. Falling in love with that incredible mountain, Mount Rainier, who slopes cradled so much of my running. And learning all over again that failure is not a cause for fear, and triumph doesn't always look like what we expect.
