Army Intelligence and CIA operator Jack Claiborne is a patriotic Army Intelligence officer, Arabic linguist, Ultimate Fighter and history major who dedicates his life fighting Islamic terror and defending the nation against all enemies, 'foreign and domestic.' He quickly acquires Islamic terror mastermind Hafez Gamal Salafi as a life-long arch-enemy; a Russian-trained and highly-connected jihadist who carries a deadly vendetta against Jack for his choices in the fog of war. Jack uncovers a world-wide Islamic terror plot to take down the United States. His patriotism and effectiveness are noted by powerful players--his globalist, progressive superiors and other powerful covert players--patriots like Jack in the government and abroad--that help him identify and fight his 'domestic' enemies. He finds himself hamstrung by his superiors to stop it. The 'domestic enemies' sign his paycheck while trying to get him killed on missions. As Jack gathers friends and enemies and discovers the truth, he struggles against his own Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, the hopelessness of a naive and oblivious public and the fear of being charged with treason to go around his corrupt superiors to defend America. As Jack wages war around the world, here at home and in the dark corners of his nightmares, he finds the 'plausible deniability' to break the rules and turn the tables on his corrupt, globalist superiors. With his 'domestic enemies' finally checked for the moment, he and his team rescue a Mossad agent carrying hot intelligence out of Tehran and spirit him out to Israel. In their hair-raising escape Jack confronts Salafi and his life-long vendetta in a final, unforgettable showdown in the Jordanian desert. Follow Jack Claiborne in his thrilling fight to 'preserve, protect and defend' America in this first installment of The Last American State series. Robert D. Leigh is a psychiatric nurse, amateur historian and student of politics who, like Jack, is very concerned about the period of American History and politics we currently find ourselves in. He is, as this book goes to press, preparing a blog with which to record his wide-ranging observations and commentary on the current American scene, as well as featuring his current, related book projects, both fiction and non-fiction.

Pain of Rebirth is a story of a young man, Jake Striker, and his five brothers, who were left to fend for themselves, following the death of their loving mother and abusive father. The story is set in the 1850s and 1860s, prior to and during the Civil War. In order to survive, Jake, the oldest brother, formed what became known as the Striker Gang. They were notorious horse and cattle thieves and bank robbers, constantly keeping one step ahead of the law. To keep from being captured by the county sheriff and his posse, they joined the army. The brothers fought in the first two battles of the war at Bull Run, where Jake and his youngest brother were seriously injured. After his recovery, Jake was discharged from the army and was recruited by our country's first Secret Service agency to help protect the life of the president. After playing a key role in preventing a rebel plot to kidnap and perhaps assassinate the president, Jake's life was threatened, causing him to go into hiding for a time. Upon his return, a new life emerged. He married his former nurse Jo Anne, continued his work at the agency, witnessed Lincoln's second inaugural address, and covered events involving President Lincoln's assassination. The book ends with the close of the war.

A spectacular, historical perspective and photographic gallery of the last working steam railways in China--the world's largest major concentration of steam locomotives in the 21st Century. In the last half of the 1900s, China built ten thousand coal-burning steam locomotives across the country. These powerful engines ran in a variety of settings, from an open cast coal mine near the Siberian border to the semi-tropical remote hills of Sichuan, powering passenger trains that stretched one thousand kilometres across Inner Mongolia and pulling the local trains on forestry railways in the countryside of northern China. Then, in 2001, Chinese Railways retired almost all its steam locomotives. Nonetheless, some regional, local and industrial operations continued using steam for another decade or more. The photographs and photo essays in this book are a result of visits to dozens of these often-remote railways where steam was still being used. They highlight the skills of workers as they overhauled and maintained the locomotives and reflect on the lives of the people who depended upon them in a rapidly changing world. The Last Steam Railways: Volume One chronicles the last two decades of China's fascinating and picturesque steam railways in a visually dramatic and authoritative presentation. This is the first of three volumes that take the story of the last steam railways across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. With over five hundred original colour photographs, graphics, maps and tables, this is a spectacular addition to any history collection.

How can you successfully lead your library through the changes taking place in today's transitional information environment? What skills must you develop or hone in order to build a confident, comfortable, and capable staff in your institution? In their highly practical new ""How-To-Do-It Manual"", authors Robert D. Stuart, the former Dean Emeritus of Simmons College's Graduate School of Library and Information Science and Maureen Sullivan, a leadership expert with over thirty years experience delivering consulting and training services to libraries and other information services, will help you identify the essential concepts and goals behind great leadership, and effectively implement each one into your library's organizational structure. ""Developing Library Leaders"" covers key strategies and processes for coaching, team building, and mentoring library staff. Following a foreword from James G. Neal, the authors clearly define the major roles and responsibilities of a library leader and offer valuable techniques for persuading and influencing others, building and leading teams and groups, and managing projects. There is step-by-step guidance for developing crucial coaching and mentoring skills, as well as tips for succession planning and facilitating long-term development. Throughout the book, Stueart and Sullivan provide ample models, outlines, examples, and charts for further guidance and to reinforce the practical use of key strategies. The generations-old adage that 'leaders are born not bred' is a myth; it is now commonly accepted that leadership is a skill that can be developed.

A meticulous, lavishly illustrated, contribution to the history of American furniture: the late 18th and early 19th century work of Boston craftsman, Isaac Vose.Isaac Vose (1767-1823) was well known in his day among style-conscious Bostonians, his name synonymous with furniture of the highest quality and advanced design. His shop, the “first on Boston Neck,” was in a prominent location and served as a familiar landmark in his South End neighborhood. Throughout the 1820s, 1830s, and as late as 1843, some nineteen years after Vose’s death, auction advertisements explicitly cited his name as the maker of select furniture, with the association connoting quality and calculated to increase its sale price.Included in this book is a 70-page guide to evaluating furniture by Vose, his partners, employees and contemporaries based on construction and connoisseurship. Additionally, the authors bring to life the tradespeople and their customers in Boston in that era, creating a cultural history as well.This book gathers in one volume all the known works of Vose as well as those attributed to him, and it is gorgeously illustrated throughout. Isaac Vose’s work should gain recognition for its outstanding contributions to an American vision of classical style. This book gathers in one volume the known works of Vose as well as those attributed to him, and it is gorgeously illustrated throughout. The authors hope that Isaac Vose's work will gain recognition for its outstanding contributions to an American vision of classicism, albeit in Boston's more conservative, less "dashy" style.
In this comprehensive survey combining architectural and social policy studies, Leighninger reappraises the enduring achievements of public investment during the New Deal era and argues that, though these initiatives produced the lasting backbone of the U.S. infrastructure, the value of these long-range investments are now being forgotten. In response, he systematically assesses the schools, housing, bridges, roads, power plants, courthouses, hospitals, museums, stadiums, zoos, parks, and other public facilities built under the auspices of the New Deal, most of which are still in use today. Leighninger's study concludes that the physical accomplishments of the New Deal have served as the core of the U.S. education, health, recreation, transportation, justice, and civic administration facilities for decades. These findings, he contends, will not only remind current generations of their indebtedness to the New Deal programs but also spark renewed debate about the long-range implications of public works versus pork barrel politics.
