Great Lakes historian Schumacher (Mighty Fitz: The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald) profiles another nautical tragedy. The Carl D. Bradley, a 638-foot limestone carrier, sank to Lake Michigan's cold bottom 50 years ago this November. Known as the "Queen of the Stone-Carrying Fleet," it was the most expensive wreck in the history of the Great Lakes, totaling $8 million. The human cost was far greater, as many of the 33 deceased lived in one city, the ship's port of Rogers City, Mich.

Три столетия правила Россией династия Романовых, и, казалось бы, страна и мир хорошо знали этих монархов. Однако за прошедшие века сформировалось множество легенд и мифов, которые «вращивались» в историю как исторические факты. Подлинные же события, невыгодно рисующие роль Романовых, старательно замалчивались и искажались.

The authors will provide the reader with an appreciation of spacesuits and US suit efforts, through development challenges to their role in space exploration. The text will explain how the routine use of clothing provides a link to the function of spacesuits and why spacesuits are far more than garments. They are a last refuge for survival in disaster or a personalized spacecraft that allows direct contact and interaction with everything beyond our world. Successfully meeting the challenges to creating safe, reliable and comfortable spacesuits is an ongoing effort that has spanned over four decades.
The book will detail the technical evolution of U.S. spacesuits from their roots in high altitude aviation and vacuum tube development to the present day, with an additional look into the future.

Everyone, everyday, everywhere has to use money to cope with climatic cold or heat to satisfy survival needs. This point of departure led to a decade of innovative research based on the tenet that climate and affluence influence each other’s impact on culture. Evert Van de Vliert discovered survival cultures in poor countries with demanding cold or hot climates, self-expression cultures in rich countries with demanding cold or hot climates, and easygoing cultures in poor and rich countries with temperate climates. These findings have implications for the cultural consequences of global warming and local poverty. Climate protection and poverty reduction are used in combination to sketch four scenarios for shaping cultures, from which the world community has to make a principal and principled choice soon.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work.

The Book of Urizen is the Genesis and Exodus of Blake's "Bible of Hell" (Marriage of Heaven and Hell 24). It tells of Urizen's fall into solipsism and its consequences for his companions, in particular Los but also others drawn into his vision of the world. The world is created out of this fall. The book ends with Fuzon, a Moses figure, leading his people out of Egypt (Urizen's world). The Book of Ahania continues the story of Fuzon's conflict with Urizen. Urizen's sexual repression and its consequent prudery are further explored. The Book of Los retells the story of the creation of the world from a different point of view, exploring Los's motivation as the demiurge of this world who gives concrete form to Urizen's abstractions.
