Presents the fascinating life of the father of the New Germany. This book tells how, in an astonishing political career that spanned six decades including fourteen years as chancellor of West Germany, Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967) was instrumental in shaping the modern political landscape, both of his own country and of Europe.
Founded in the 1830's, the Baldwin Locomotive Works rapidly became America's premier builder of steam engines for railway use. In the aftermath of the Civil War, a new standard emerged on the railroads of 4' 8.5". Yet this gauge proved prohibitively expensive in mountainous regionsand for mining operations. Thus a narrow gaugestandard was developed of three feet or, in Canada, three and one-half feet. This catalog shows Baldwin's full line of narrow gauge locomotives, and includes technical specifications and other data. This version of the book has been slightly enlarged and reformatted for readability, but care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.
In a time not far from our own, Lawrence sets out simply to build an artifical intelligence that can pass as human, and finds himself instead with one that can pass as a god. Taking the Three Laws of Robotics literally, Prime Intellect makes every human immortal and provides instantly for every stated human desire. Caroline finds no meaning in this life of purposeless ease, and forgets her emptiness only in moments of violent and profane exhibitionism. At turns shocking and humorous, Prime Intellect looks unflinchingly at extremes of human behavior that might emerge when all limits are removed. An international Internet phenomenon, Prime Intellect has been downloaded more than 10,000 times since its free release in January 2003. It has been read and discussed in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Slovenia, South Africa, and other countries. This Lulu edition is your chance to own Prime Intellect in conventional book form.
This novel is about a crooked health department and is certainly a one of a kind novel. I don't believe there has been a novel about a crooked health department before the creation of this novel. Some of it is reality based... A retired Naval Intelligence Officer (Ty Ambrose) takes a job as a health inspector at the local health department. He finds corruption running from within the political arena all the way down to the county health inspector. Corruption and pay-offs from food service inspections to septic tank approvals run rampant!!! Being an ex-Naval Intelligence Officer, Ty decides to stay with the job and learn as much about the corruption as possible. Then, with evidence in hand, he planned to notify the proper authorities about the corruption. Eventually, Ty learns the corruption extends all the way out to the Military Base and gets Naval Intelligence in on the game. The plot thickens as he finds out about the Director and a few of the employees are dealing in drugs with a local mobster. There are some morbid murders and kinky sex scenes in the novel. The morbid perversion is just part of the total picture of the corrupt and demented Department of Health Inspections. . . . . . .
