First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be enjoyed as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today.

Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.

Oriane is the skylark, and the sun only rises if she wills it. Every morning, she transforms from woman to bird, calling the dawn with her song. Seclusion has kept her safe her whole life – but it has also left her lonely, and craving freedom.

The Lords of Creation rule the Nine Worlds through its control of the ultra-advanced technology that has permitted the colonization of the entire solar System.

And when an unthinkably terrible enemy that rules a vast network of dead stars and planets comes to the Nine Worlds, it falls to them to stop it, though entire worlds may perish.

In this book, I discuss the life and times of Jesus based on the Bible and the works of religious scholars, researchers, authors, and spiritual teachers. The focus of this book is to show how Jesus, through his teachings, caused the members of the Sanhedrin great concern as his followers began to increase. He threatened their power over the Jews by questioning their lack of understanding of the scriptures. Jesus called them to repentance for their pompous, prideful, and phony pious. For the Sanhedrin, it was Man Against Messiah.

Since the Cold War, outer space has become of strategic importance for nations looking to seize the ultimate high ground. World powers establishing a presence there must consider, among other things, how they will conduct warfare in orbit. Leaders must dispense with "Buck Rogers" notions about operations in space and realize that policies there will have serious ramifications for geopolitics. How should nations view space? How should they fight there? What would space warfare look like and how should strategists approach it?

It wanders through space in fiery temperatures that make Hades look like a vacation spot by comparison. The first planet in our Solar System that races around the Sun once every 88 days. Named after the Roman god of commerce, eloquence, messages, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves, he also serves as the guide of souls to the underworld. These, then, are the tales of Mercury.

Once, in a theater long ago and far, far away, young audiences who watched the nostalgic space epic of yesteryear, known then only as Star Wars, were duly enthralled. So much goodwill, so much affection, and so much love has rarely been lavished on any franchise. So much money from so many eager fans was never so readily available. Yet, with one potent death star-like blast of mind-breakingly awful filmmaking, the Disney Corporation has managed to alienate that goodwill, spurn that affection, and lose that money.

What she has, science will tell you, is impossible. What she does, religion will refute. Who she is, Tristan Elizabeth Badger will deny. Tristan came to Carmel Valley, California, to get away from the psychiatrists and the military think tanks in order to be ordinary. From the time she was a child, her mind refused to act like other children. As a young deputy with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Department, she wanted nothing more than to live in peace and never again deal with those who visited unannounced. But, fate has a way of dragging us where we are needed.

As a matter of duty, Katt is called in to figure out who could do such a thing. James' purpose is more personal. His cousin is the only survivor, and he's there to make sure the killer doesn't finish what he started. In order to succeed, Katt and Mouse seek the help of someone even more dangerous than the person they are hunting.

Sadie Lee Branch is an investigative reporter who needed to drop everything to go help her family. What was supposed to be a nice change of pace quickly turned into murder, larceny, and betrayal. Sadie quickly discovered that 10 years away from home was a long time and the friends (and enemies) you knew could change a lot in that time. Without knowing who to trust, the girl that got away was afraid that coming back could cost her a lot more than the loss of an old acquaintance. It could cost her everything.

There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. The home of such a man existed 100 years ago. A rich, egotistical, megalomaniac built it and used it for science as well as pleasure. Now his great-grandson has returned to re-establish the family's traditions. Seven women are dead because of the curse of Castle Grey. Tall, beautiful and intelligent, Special Agent Katherine Katt of the FBI was sent to Monterey, California, to find the man responsible for the murder of those seven women.

Heroes, real heroes, seldom want to save the day. They didn't start out thinking they would save the girl, take down the bad guy, and get it all done before breakfast. Those heroes are for the movies or cheesy mystery novels. That isn't Ben Simeon. This small-town cop had already fought his battles while serving his country. He longed for peace and quiet. But whether he liked it or not, Detective Benjamin Simeon would once again be forced to take up the badge of honor and fight until order was restored. Or die trying.
