Shuttle-Mir: The United States And Russia Share History's Highest Stage, Clay Morgan Dec 2000

Shuttle-Mir: The United States And Russia Share History's Highest Stage, Clay Morgan

Clay Morgan

This book is an example of what may become the norm for history texts -- an illustrated narrative accompanied by a CD-ROM.

The text tells the story from the human side. It is based on reflections and quotes from the astronauts, cosmonauts, and team members who participated in the historic partnership. The main chapters give the perspectives of the seven U.S. astronauts living on Mir. The "STS boxes" share the Space Shuttle crews' experiences from the 11 Shuttle-Mir missions. The "Meanwhile on Earth" sections provide details of what was happening on Earth while the attention of the Program focused on …

Autobiographies By Americans Of Color 1980-1994: An Annotated Bibliography, Rebecca Stuhr Dec 1996

Autobiographies By Americans Of Color 1980-1994: An Annotated Bibliography, Rebecca Stuhr

Rebecca A Stuhr

This book compiles and provides a brief summary of autobiographies published or reissued during the last decades of the 20th century. This is an excellent source for finding personal accounts of growing up just after the end of slavery through the civil rights movement, experiences for Japanese Americans during World War II, the American Indian Movement, and the growing movement for rights for immigrant labor in the United States. Many of these autobiographies were written to provide an account of family history, hardship endured, and accomplishments achieved for the next generation.

Santiago And The Drinking Party, Clay Morgan Dec 1991

Santiago And The Drinking Party, Clay Morgan

Clay Morgan

Meet Daniel Cooper, a young American searching for a way to escape the predictability of life in the United States. Lured by wanderlust, Daniel travels to the Amazonian village of Los Puentes Caidos - a seductive hamlet of magical realities where human nature, Mother Nature, and the nature of truth converge in tropical excess.

There, old Santiago, a philosophic seeker, has formed his Drinking and Thinking Club. This curious "Thinkery" includes a skeptical war veteran, a noble dwarf, a far-seeing blind man, and assorted other questioners who spend their time drinking beer, sucking lemons, and reflecting - quite imaginatively and …

Aura, Clay Morgan

Clay Morgan

"He was millions of years younger now.

It was spring in the city. Small white clouds scudded overhead and the breeze reached down between buildings. Newspapers rambled past. Their shadows bounced beneath them, chasing them into the street and under the wheels of cars. He watched, entranced. The rush of traffic dazzled him. The sky's bright blue made him shiver. Every time he looked up, he felt his eyes startled wide and a small nervequake tremble down his back. He dared the sensations as he waited for his bus. He kept glancing from the street to the sky, triggering that …


Literary Analysis Of The Special Form Of Satire Swift Invented For A Modest Proposal, Charles Kay Smith Oct 1968

Literary Analysis Of The Special Form Of Satire Swift Invented For A Modest Proposal, Charles Kay Smith

Charles Kay Smith

Some of Swift's more conventional classical figures of speech have already been noted, though more or less in isolation to one another as well as to larger designs and aesthetic aims. Swift's genius in A Modest Proposal is to create a speaker whose monologue keeps two distinct styles operational at all times. The style of which the speaker is aware is constantly opposed by covert and innovative verbal and grammatical techniques which the proposer sets in motion but of which he remains unaware, which slowly but surely turns a reader's sympathies against him and against those who share his callous …
