to challenge heaven david weber chris kennedy

The third entry into the New York Times bestselling series, To Challenge Heaven brings another thrilling adventure from the masters of military science fiction, David Weber and Chris Kennedy.In a universe teeming with predators, humanity needs friends. And fast.We''ve come a long way in the forty years since the Shongairi attacked Earth, killed half its people, and then were driven away by an alliance of humans with the other sentient bipeds who inhabit our planet.We took the technology they left behind, and rapidly built ourselves into a starfaring civilization. Because we haven''t got a moment to lose. Because it''s clear that there are even more powerful, more hostile aliens out there, and Earth needs allies.But it also transpires that the Shongairi expedition that nearly destroyed our home planet ... wasn''t an official one. That, indeed, its commander may have been acting as an unwitting cats-paw for the Founders, the ancient alliance of very old, very evil aliens who run the Hegemony that dominates our galaxy, and who hold the Shongairi, as they hold most non-Founder species, in not-so-benign contempt. Indeed, it may turn out to be possible to turn the Shongairi into our allies against the Hegemony. There''s just the small matter of the Shongairi honor code, which makes bushido look like a child''s game. We might be able to make them our friends -- if we can crush their planetary defenses in the greatest battle we, or they, have ever seen...

V této sbírce povídek vypráví Jane Lindskoldová příběh matnichorského prince a mimořádné graysonské ženy Judith, oběti masadské brutality, která se pustila do zoufalého boje proti obrovské přesile, aby zajistila svobodu svým sestrám. Timothy Zahn nás zavede na palubu těžkého křižníku HMS Neohrožený, který pátrá po tajné zbrani nepřátel a málem se stane její obětí, zatímco John Ringo nás ve svých povídkách zavede nejprve na palubu poněkud netypické graysonské lodi a pak na planetu Praha, kde se rozhodnou strávit své volno dva příslušníci mantichorské námořní pěchoty. Eric Flint nás zase seznámí s ambicioózním mladým důstojníkem, který se ocitne po pádu Oscar Saint-Justa v pravý čas na pravém místě, aby uplatnil svůj vliv v celém sektoru - jestli se mu podaří zůstat dost dlouho naživu. A konečně David Weber přichází s příběhem první graysonské kadetky na její první plavbě.

#1 New York Times bestseller with more than 11 million copies sold! When 4-year-old Colton Burpo emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven, his family doesn’t know what to believe. Heaven is For Real details what Colton saw and his family’s journey towards accepting their young son had visited the afterlife.“Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.”Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation. He talked of visiting heaven and described events that happened before he was born and how he spoke with family members he’d never met. Colton also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, even though he had not yet learned to read.With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton recounts his visit to heaven, describing: Meeting long-departed family members Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us How Jesus called Todd, Colton’s father, to be a pastor The Battle of ArmageddonRetold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.”Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.Praise for Heaven is for Real:“A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe.” —Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me

Občas věci nevyjdou tak, jak se plánují. Mesanský blok má plán, na kterém pracuje už celá staletí. Plán na přeměnu galaxie a genetické vylepšení – svým způsobem – lidské rasy. Až donedávna šlo všechno jako po másle, pak ale Blok narazil na menší překážku na cestě zvanou Hvězdné království Mantichora. Vyřešilo to tak, že zinscenovalo válku se Solarním svazem, největší a nejstrašnější mezihvězdnou silou v lidské historii. A aby věci urychlilo, podniklo ničivý záludný útok, kterým zničilo průmyslovou infrastrukturu Královského námořnictva Mantichory. Pak pomocí diverzní operace Janus podnítilo revoluce na planetách spravovaných Mantichorou. To dohromady utvrdilo Solární svaz v odhodlání zničit Hvězdné království jednou pro vždy a zdiskreditovat ho po celé galaxii. I ty nejdůmyslnější plány ale mohou mít nezamýšlené důsledky a jedním z nich je v tomto případě nová naděje na svobodu pro utiskované národy v celém vesmíru.

Válka s republikou Haven znovu začala… pro Hvězdné království Mantichory katastrofálně.Amirál lady dame Honor Harringtonová, místodržící a vévodkyně z Harringtonu, jediná vítězná spojenecká velitelka počáteční fáze nové války, byla povolána ze soustavy Sidemore, aby velela Osmé flotile. Každý ví, že Osmá flotila je základní obranná jednotka Aliance, což z ní dělá přirozené místo pro ženu, kterou media nazvala ‚Salamandrem‘. Ale co většina veřejnosti neví je fakt, že Hvězdné království a jeho spojenci nejenom že čelí značné přesile, ale že se dá čekat, že se to bude postupně ještě zhoršovat. Úkolem Osmé flotily je udělat něco, aby nepřítel nerozdrtil Alianci dřív, než Hvězdné království bude mít šanci dosáhnout strategické rovnováhy. Toho nelze dosáhnout lacino. Honor Harringtonová bude muset přijmout děsivou zodpovědnost za případné ztráty a k tomu se ještě vypořádat s převratnými změnami ve svém osobním a společenském životě.Alternativou ke splnění jejího úkolu je drtivá, avšak v tomto případě může být i cena vítězství strašlivá.

Mesanský blok: několik staletí stará a dobře utajená organizace, která se snaží lidstvu vnutit svou vizi společnosti ovládané geneticky vylepšenými lidskými bytostmi. Toto spiknutí bylo nyní odhaleno špiony Antonem Zilwickým a Victorem Cachatem – jeden je agentem Hvězdného království Mantichora, druhý havenským operativcem. Odhalení Bloku převrátilo politickou mapu galaxie vzhůru nohama. Staré koalice se rozpadly. Zrodila se nová spojenectví. Pro začátek, dlouhá a úmorná válka mezi Republikou Haven a Hvězdným císařstvím Mantichora nejenže skončila, ale tito dva donedávna úhlavní nepřátelé spolu dokonce uzavřeli alianci. Jejich společným nepřítelem je nyní Mesanský blok samotný. Na to, aby se Blok podařilo vytáhnout ze stínů, je však zapotřebí více informací. Proto se Zilwicki a Cachat, navzdory riziku a pod ochranou genetického maskování, rozhodnou na Mesu vrátit – jen aby zjistili, že dokonce i oni bezohlednost a krutost Bloku hrubě podcenili. Brzy se ocitnou na útěku v mesanském podsvětí, kde nejenže je pronásleduje Blok, ale hrozbou se pro ně stává i na obrátkách nabírající konflikt mezi vládci Mesy a týranými otroky a druháky, kteří tak dlouho trpěli pod jejich nadvládou. Pokud se však Zilwickému a Cachatovi podaří toto prastaré spiknutí vymýtit, zbaví tak galaxii velkého zla – a na dlouho utlačovaném světě bude moci započít úsvit svobody.

THE TROUBLE WITH TREECATSStephanie Harrington didn’t discover treecats—they were indigenous to the planet Sphinx, a colony of the tiny Star Kingdom of Manticore. But at age ten she was the first human to bond with one. Now, almost 17, she is the species greatest champion. To the rest of the human galaxy, if they are known at all, they are recognized as tool using, socially organized, fuzzy little creatures, with no known method of communication—who also happen to be fierce hunters. But are they sapient…? Because if they are, that would have all sorts of repercussions for the families who have settled on Sphinx, the Harringtons not the least. There will be winners, and there will be losers. And Stephanie is there to make sure the treecats don’t lose out. But Stephanie, the treecats, and Sphinx itself may be caught up in an even greater conspiracy than the one to help the fighting ‘cats survive, one generations in the making.…

The role of men is critical when it comes to preventing sexual assault.Gordon Braxton was in his second year of college before anybody bothered to speak to him about sexual violence, despite the fact that he already knew friends and family members that had survived a sexual assault. Unfortunately, this is a common experience as many young men and boys, especially Black boys, do not have an opportunity to discuss their views on sexual violence and what role they might play in preventing it. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture supports the training of a rising generation by providing commentary from an experienced educator, an overview of existing research and preventative techniques, and insight into young men''s perspectives on violence. The result is a powerful new perspective on violence prevention--the first to focus on Black boys and to be written by a Black male author.The most critical lesson that boys need to learn is that they have an essential role to play in preventing sexual violence. So many of them accept this violence as beyond their control when they could be valuable agents of change. More and more parents and mentors of boys are coming to address sexual violence as a cultural problem rather than the activities of isolated social deviants. Empowering Black Boys to Challenge Rape Culture adds an important voice to our discussions about sexual violence education and prevention, showing that a rising generation of boys will play a vital part in realizing a non-violent future.

Named to the Civil Eats "2025 Food and Farming Holiday Book Gift Guide"How we can meet the challenges of our age by moving away from the political and economic philosophies of both the left and right to a more equitable re-organization of society, economy, land and food production, driven by the local community rather than a central government. Today, society and government are still asking what our country can yield, and in what quantity. They do so because in a sense we are still living in conquest-based societies. Agrarian thinker Chris Smaje opens this book by drawing an arresting modern parallel to Viking raiding, trading and enslaving societies and the Ragnarok they faced then of dramatic climate change and societal collapse. So, to meet these modern crises, Chris asks us to look beyond the current discourse of capitalism versus chaos, and indeed the dualism of ‘state versus market’ and the ‘state with the market’, both of which has failed us. Instead, Chris explores a world where we live slower lives more immersed in local ecologies. Where our present Viking age has inflicted a thorough alienation from place and local livelihood, Chris proposes other models of collective organization, where land and capital are seen as a common good that involves a widespread and secure redistribution. These ideas are the basic principles associated with distributism – broadly, that issues should be dealt with at the most immediate or local level feasible and governance, wherever possible, should be bottom-up. There should also be a moral economy founded in ideals of justice. Work and production should rest on commitments struck in a community rather than deals in a market. There should be a concept of shared common good, of what life is for. Ultimately, we should build a sense of future possibility around local ecological societies dedicated to human and ecological wellbeing. Much of the global damage to the environment has arisen not because people were there in the landscape, but because they weren’t. It’s time to hospice modernity and build a green Earth rising. In this book, Chris discusses what this society and landscape might look like in the near future and longer term.

In 10 to 25, David Yeager explains the emerging science of adolescent and young adult brains to reveal how we can engage, teach and support the young people in our lives.Neuroscientists have discovered that around age ten, changes in the brain spur young people to crave socially rewarding experiences, such as pride, admiration, and respect, and to become highly averse to social pain. This sensitivity to status and respect continues into the mid-twenties. 10 to 25 helps adults to use this science to learn how to encourage young people and avoid frustrating patterns of miscommunication and conflict.Yeager explains how to adopt the mentor mindset – a leadership style that’s attuned to young people’s need for status and respect – by following a few highly effective and easy-to-learn practices. These include validating young people’s perspectives (rather than dismissing them), asking them questions (rather than telling them what to do), and holding them to high standards (rather than coddling them). Yeager’s scientific experiments have shown these practices reduce a wide variety of behaviour problems, including mental health issues, unhealthy eating, stress and purposelessness.Young people in this age group are poised to learn, grow, and accomplish incredible things – if only we can tap into the basic neurobiological systems that drive their motivation and behaviour. 10 to 25 offers long-term strategies to help nurture well-adjusted, independent, accomplished young adults, and is necessary reading for all parents, educators and mentors.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER THE CALLER'Good job you didn't turn on the lights . . .' A student nurse has the shock of her life when she discovers her patient, prosecutor Derek Nicholson, brutally murdered in his bed. The act seems senseless - Nicholson was terminally ill with only weeks to live. But what most shocks Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Robbery Homicide Division is the calling card the killer left behind. For Hunter, there is no doubt that the killer is trying to communicate with the police, but the method is unlike anything he's ever seen before. And what could the hidden message be?

Serial entrepreneurs David Kidder and Christina Wallace reveal their revolutionary playbook for igniting growth inside established companies.Most established companies face a key survival challenge, says David Kidder, CEO of Bionic, lifelong entrepreneur, and angel investor in more than thirty startups: operational efficiency and outdated bureaucracy are at war with new growth. Legacy companies are skilled at growing big businesses into even bigger ones. But they are less adept at discovering new opportunities and turning them into big businesses, the way entrepreneurs and early-stage investors must. In New to Big, Kidder and Wallace reveal their proprietary blueprint for installing a permanent growth capability inside any company--the Growth Operating System. The Growth OS borrows the best tools, systems, and mind-sets from entrepreneurship and venture capital and adapts them for established organizations, leveraging these two distinct skills as a form of management for building in a future that is uncertain. By focusing on what consumers do rather than what they say, celebrating productive failure, embracing a portfolio approach, and learning from the outside-in, Kidder and Wallace argue any company can go on offense and win the future. This isn''t about a one-off innovation moonshot. It''s about building a permanent ladder to the moon.

An accessible, actionable blueprint for how Democrats can build lasting, durable change—without having to amend the Constitution The American electoral system is clearly falling apart—more than one recent presidential race has resulted in the clear winner of the popular vote losing the electoral college vote, and Trump’s refusal to concede in 2020 broke with all precedents…at least for now. Practical solutions need to be implemented as soon as possible. And so in It’s Time to Fight Dirty, political scientist David Faris outlines accessible, actionable strategies for American institutional reform which don’t require a constitutional amendment, and would have a lasting impact on our future. With equal amounts of playful irreverence and persuasive reasoning, Faris describes how the Constitution’s deep democratic flaws constantly put progressives at a disadvantage, and lays out strategies for “fighting dirty” though obstructionism and procedural warfare: establishing statehood for DC and Puerto Rico; breaking California into several states; creating a larger House of Representatives; passing a new voting rights act; and expanding the Supreme Court. The Constitution may be the world’s most difficult document to amend, but Faris argues that many of America’s democratic failures can be fixed within its rigid confines—and, at a time when the stakes have never been higher, he outlines a path for long-term, progressive change in the United States so that the electoral gains of 2020 aren’t lost again.

‘In that split second, perhaps the first sobering thoughts I have had in months become so obvious and apparent, and when that officer returns after having checked the cans and found cocaine I know that, from that moment, everything is going to change.’‘Crazy’ Chris Lewis played in thirty-two Test Matches and fifty-three One-Day Internationals for England. At one point he was regarded as one of the best all-round cricketers the country has ever produced.However, feeling at odds with the middle-class nature of the sport, he regularly courted controversy off the field – and the tabloids happily lapped it up. His naming of England players involved in a match-fixing scandal led to his early retirement at the age of just 30. After this, he withdrew from the limelight until, in 2008, he was arrested for importing cocaine from the Caribbean and sentenced to thirteen years in prison.From his arrival in England from Guyana with his parents, through his colourful cricketing career, his arrest and subsequent trial, his time in prison and how he finally put his life back together, here Lewis recounts his remarkable, redemptive story.
