Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - To be betrayed by love and stalked by a psycho. This is my life. Imagine being in love with a man who, in the beginning, wines and dines you, loves you, and fulfills your fantasy-then snatches it all away, gets caught in your house butt-naked with another woman, and hits you when things are not going his way. Wait on him faithfully for two years only to find out he has a baby that is five months younger than your child. On top of that, he's in prison, writing to someone who turns out to be a fraud. Once the secret is out, this stalker goes crazy and focuses on me and my children. This stalker sends someone to kill my children. This stalker, in the beginning, has no face to me. I'd never seen the stalker until he showed up at my front door and started calling my house nonstop, leaving threatening messages. He has all of my personal information-social security number, banking account-knows where my parents live; he knows my whole life. This stalker is an ex-correctional officer who is in love with my husband; this stalker is a man. Enough is enough. It's time for me to get my life back and take matters into my own hands when the cops can't seem to catch him. When it's all said and done, you ask yourself, is he worth it.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Absolute Space, Absolute Time, and Absolute Motion exist. These are shown to be facts through an investigation of the nature of infinitesimals. Knowledge of that nature also makes the irrational magnitudes within the unit comprehensible. The number line is shown to be cognitively superior to set theory; furthermore, non-Euclidean geometry is shown to be a mere manipulation of symbols and not an expression of a 'parallel universe.' Inside, the reader will also learn about a hitherto unknown number system locked within _-1. He will also discover in the infinitesimal calculus a hidden key to a level of reality beneath that of nano-technology. The foundation of science is not some vague generality, but the exercise of reason as originating from the human sensorium. There is no difference between mathematical and ordinary inductive reasoning.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The use of American Prisoners of War (POW) as slave labor by the Japanese is a story that has been left untold in most history books and is unknown by many today. Ninety percent of the POWs who perished in World War II died in Japanese prison camps. In these pages, Andy Andrews tells his personal story of three and a half years of captivity as a Japanese POW. He talks about brave U.S. soldiers who were used as slave labor for Japanese Corporations, survived starvation, torture and extreme Japanese brutality. While in captivity he survived 19 days in the hull of the Japanese hell ship Nagata Maru, Cabanatuan Prison camp, various prison camps in Osaka & Tsuruga, starvation, torture and countless acts of brutality by the Japanese. While in the camps, he and his fellow POWs risked their lives to engage in sabotage to defuse bombs, disable military components, and disrupt cargo shipments. The number of lives saved by the diffused bombs, disrupted shipments and other similar acts will never be known, but their bravery and fortitude will be, through this book. So, we invite you to take this journey with us and experience a time and events that are seldom discussed or documented, see them as an American soldier saw them and you too will be amazed at the bravery, loyalty and mettle of American soldiers. Andy Andrews was awarded with numerous commendations and citations including: the Bronze Star, the POW medal, Presidential Citation With Two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Philippine Defense Medal with 3 battle stars, the American Defense Medal with 3 Battle Stars, Asiatic/Pacific Theater medal with 2 battle stars, Good Conduct Medal, Philippine Presidential Unit Citation and the Combat Action Ribbon.
