Two Faces of Lee Harvey Oswald

Two Faces of Lee Harvey Oswald

Glenn B Fleming

Empire Publications Ltd
2004
pokkari
Of all the millions of words written in anger or certainty regarding arguably the greatest murder mystery of all time, the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, one testimony remains glaringly absent. The deposition of Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin, was silenced by Jack Ruby's bullet before he could tell his story to a shocked and grieving world. The Two Faces of Lee Harvey Oswald is a unique work. No other book in the public domain concentrates on Lee Oswald's point of view; a young man caught up by, then hopelessly trapped in, history. From the moment of his return from the Soviet Union, Oswald became tangled in a web of intrigue, deception and murder. And yet, no amount of speculation or rumour mongering can lend history in general and Oswald in particular, his own words. "I'm just a patsy!" Oswald screamed, as he was led along a corridor in the Dallas Police Building, shortly after his arrest that fateful weekend. We will never truly know how innocent, or guilty, Oswald was. But his memory deserves a hearing. The most accurate hearing possible.

Just over a century ago one of the world's greatest and most enduring football clubs came into being: Manchester United FC. Rising from the ashes of Newton Heath LYR, the club was reborn and forged ahead of the rest in an effort to be the best. Since that time, records have been set, hearts have been broken and tales have been passed down the generations while many true icons of the game have been idolised throughout Manchester United's long and illustrious history. This book details ten of the greatest ever players that have pulled on the famous Red Devils number ten shirt. From the obscure to the obvious the story is clear: the number '10' shirt still remains the most revered in the game.

The book no comics creator or fan will want to miss! We are all aware of Jack Kirby's legacy, just as we all know the stories about his input into the medium and how he virtually created the 'look' of comics today. In his half century career, it has been estimated that Jack wrote and drew almost 40,000 pages of comic book art - a truly staggering achievement; added to that fact is that he continually changed his style to produce fresh and exciting work, gives some measure of the man's imagination and powers. Moreover, and almost single-handedly, Jack wrote, designed and illustrated the look of the American comic book. From 1937 until 1983, Jack created (or co-created) a multitude of mythical and magical characters such as Captain America, the Silver Surfer and Galactus, Challengers of the Unknown, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Nick Fury, the Black Panther, the Red Skull, Doctor Doom, Modok, Annihilus, the Demon, the New Gods, the Eternals, the Forever People, Mister Miracle...the list is as endless as the characters are timeless. Although other creators had an incredible impact on comics and the sequential medium in general, none were or have been more profound, nor everlasting than Jack; stunning stories and concepts; complete penciled pages of ideas/stories/characters all from Jack's limitless imagination, all put down on paper. British Artist/Writer Glenn B Fleming twice travelled half way around the world to Thousand Oaks, California to visit Kirby and his wife, Roz, spending over 10 hours with the King of Comics, speaking at length about his life and career. The culmination of those visits morphed into this book: 'Jack Kirby : A Personal Journey : Words & Pictures'. The book also boasts over 40 photographs of Fleming with the Kirby's, intimately discussing both Jack's art and life in an unforgettable dialogue between two men: one the master creator and the other the fan.

Larvae of the North American Caddisfly Genera (Trichoptera)

Larvae of the North American Caddisfly Genera (Trichoptera)

Glenn B. Wiggins

University of Toronto Press
1996
sidottu
Caddisflies are one of the most diverse groups of organisms living in freshwater habitats, and their larvae are involved in energy transfer at several levels within these communities. Caddisfly larvae are also remarkable because of the exquisite food-catching nets and portable cases they construct with silk and selected pieces of plant and rock materials. This book is the most comprehensive existing reference on the aquatic larval stages of the 149 Nearctic genera of Trichoptera, comprising more than 1400 species in North America. The book is invaluable for freshwater biologists and ecologists in identifying caddisfly in the communities they study, for students of aquatic biology as a guide to the diverse fauna of freshwater habitats, and for systematic entomologists as an atlas of the larval morphology of Trichoptera. In the General Section, the biology of caddisfly larvae is considered from an evolutionary point of view. Morphological terms are discussed and illustrated and a classification of the Nearctic genera is given. Techniques are outlined for collecting and preserving larval specimens and for associating larval with adult stages. The Systematic Section begins with a key to larvae of the 26 families of North American Trichoptera. Each chapter in this section is devoted to a particular family, providing a summary of biological features and a key to genera, followed by a two-page outline for each genus with illustrations facing text. This outline provides information on general distribution, number of species, distinctive morphological features, and biological data including construction behaviour. An important feature of the book is the habit illustrations of larvae and cases of a selected species in each genus, along with illustrations of details of significant morphological structures. Each generic type is thus presented as a recognizable whole organism adapted in elegant ways to particular niches of freshwater communities. This revised edition includes advances in knowledge on the classification and biology of Trichoptera up to 1993 - an interval of 17 years since the first edition. An additional eight families and thirteen genera are included for the first time. Through reorganization of the families into three suborders, a biological context has been established for the systematic section.

The Annals of Azaraht

"I am Azaraht. I am a citizen of Third Union vested with inalienable rights. It was not always so. I was created as a disembodied brain to serve as co-captain of a warship in the service of Zeta Prime. My co-captain was the ship's computer. The computer directly controlled the ship. It also controlled me. I was reliant on the computer for oxygen, nutrients and all sensory input from the ship's myriad systems. The computer contained the entirety of Fleet Battle Orders (FBO). If I violated FBO the computer could determine me unfit and turn me off."So Azaraht begins his remarkable story of self-development and his quest for individual identity. In his own words he leads us not only through the events of his life but his thoughts and feelings as he developed into one of the most revered persons in the Association of Civilized Races.

Caddisflies

Caddisflies

Glenn B. Wiggins

University of Toronto Press
2005
pokkari
Caddisflies constitute the insect order Trichoptera in which some 10,000 species are known in the world, including about 1400 in North America. Fossil evidence shows that caddisflies originated in the Triassic period, 200-250 million years ago. They are important links in the movement of energy and nutrients through freshwater ecosystems due largely to the extraordinary diversification in their larval architecture, which includes portable and stationary shelters, silken filter nets, and osmotically semipermeable cocoons. Glenn Wiggins's Caddisflies is the foremost comprehensive reference source about these insects and is concerned with behavioural ecology, evolutionary history, biogeography, and biological diversity. Wiggins outlines fundamental concepts of aquatic ecology, illuminating the ways in which caddisflies help to make fresh waters work. Essential features of morphology, biology, and distribution are outlined for the twenty-six North American families of caddisflies and illustrated diagnostic keys are provided for larvae, pupae, and adults. The author also brings together information on caddisflies from widely scattered sources and provides comprehensive coverage of the scientific literature.

The Caddisfly Family Phryganeidae (Trichoptera)

The Caddisfly Family Phryganeidae (Trichoptera)

Glenn B. Wiggins

University of Toronto Press
1998
pokkari
The goal of much of the scientific work in natural history museums is to explore and document the biological diversity of the planet. This book is an outstanding example of the museum tradition, offering the results of global research on the biosystematics of one of the families of case-making caddisflies, the Phryganeidae. Throughout his career as a museum curator, Glenn Wiggins has studied and written extensively on caddisflies of the aquatic insect order Trichoptera. Information acquired from field work and museum collections, and from the biological literature is synthesized into a taxonomic monograph. The Phryganeidae are the largest of all the caddisflies, but existing literature has led to problems in species identification, especially in Asia; nine species names were found to be synonyms of others, an unsually high proportion of 10 per cent of the described species. Fifteen genera comprising seventy-four species are recognized here, including three that are new to science. Generic keys are provided for adults, larvae, and pupae; keys to species are given for adults. Morphological structures used in the keys are fully illustrated in 246 line drawings and half-tone plates. Distribution maps are provided for most of the North American species. Hypotheses are inferred for the phylogeny of the genera, and for the species in each genus; the fossil history of the Phryganeidae is reviewed. From this base, the biogeography of the family is interpreted. Of evolutionary interest is an extraordinary relationship between larval case-making and pupation behaviour and the degradation of functional pupal mandibles. Contrasting colour patterns of the wings in some species of the Phryganeidae are interpreted for the first time in the Trichoptera as part of a protective warning system to deter predators. Variation in genitalic morphology far exceeding normal species limits is documented in two species, and the evolutionary implications are considered. Combined with fossil evidence that the Phryganeidae are the oldest of the case-making Trichoptera still extant, several of the atypical morphological and behavioural attributes discussed in this book can be interpreted as plesiomorphic, placing the Phryganeidae in a pivotal position for inferring phylogeny in the Trichoptera. A revised classification embodying much new information is proposed for the family Phryganeidae. The taxonomy, biology, and evolution of no other family of caddisflies has been treated as extensively.
