On a balmy April morning in 1954, James Moore was sworn in as a member of the Toledo Police Academys twelfth cadet class and began what would eventually become a twenty-six-year career with a police force intent on fiercely protecting the citizens of its beloved city. The Naked Badge shares powerful, hard-hitting anecdotes of the realities of Toledo, Ohio, law enforcement that took place from 1950s to the 1970s. With from-the-heart honesty that at times reads like fiction, Moore provides a compelling glimpse into a time when formal training was minimal and outdated; there were no such things as computers, portable radios, bulletproof vests, or air-conditioned vehicles; pay was minimal; and officers worked a forty-eight-hour week. While revealing the stark vulnerabilities of rookie patrolmen, Moore shares real-life cases that disclose his own failures and shortcomings as his career takes him from a patrolman assigned to walking beats in the toughest sections of the city to a veteran captain who prided himself on treating everyone fairly. The Naked Badge offers an enlightening and entertaining look into the intriguing world of police work during a period of great change in America.

Seven police officers, a prosecuting attorney, a defense team and the mafia. With a twist that no one is really looking for. With the scales of justice weighing the balance. The only outcome is a verdict that even the courts may not be prepared for.
"In considering the whole of Crane's writing, Monteiro interrelates the various texts and vividly presents their cultural contexts, structuring his study around the primary natural and social settings that uniquely characterize Crane - the city, warfare, the frontier, and shipwreck at sea. By taking an unprecedented inventory of those religious readings, songs, and recitations the young Crane imbibed and tracing their permeation of his writerly imagination, Monteiro deepens our understanding of the meaning and purpose of Crane's work and fosters new appreciation for his immense but short-lived creative faculty."--Jacket.
Retired fishery officer Randy Nelson’s first love was catching poachers. That obsession, plus a devious mind and enthusiasm for marathon running, spelled big trouble for law-breaking fishermen. Thirty-five years in the field (and stream) netted a gold mine of stories with hair-raising tales of grizzly bear attacks, angry axe-wielding, rock-throwing, shotgun-blasting fishermen and high-speed chases on dirt roads and through bush. Poachers, Polluters and Politics provides a rare glimpse into the lives of DFO officers and the communities in which they live. Here too are stories showing the lighter side of the DFO, like how Nelson honed his “psychic powers,” and recollections of life in a rodent-infested, government-issue trailer—where his wife Lorraine once awoke to find a mouse chewing her hair. Firm but fair, and always innovative, Randy Nelson usually earned the—often grudging—respect of communities and fishermen he encountered. Whether it meant carving a peephole in a hollow tree or teaching his dog to sniff for salmon, Nelson was constantly scheming up new and tricky ways to catch poachers and polluters, many of them known violent criminals. Nelson spent a career dedicated to protecting BC’s waters and fish population and his passion for his work shines through with every word, drawing the reader into the exciting world of protecting wildlife and prosecuting bad guys.
Vol. 1 is a reprint of 1834 edition.
The year is 2018. Laura, a prototype-robot has been listed for termination. After accidentally sharing her creator's brain and experiencing the `rich sensory feasts' of human `aliveness,' Laura recognizes her absolute need to survive and explore the biological world through a human brain. Michael, orphaned, his face grossly scarred, is overcome when she, recognizing his deepest need, cleverly says that she loves him. Labeled and hunted as the world's most wanted terrorist, she narrowly escapes capture with all her accumulated knowledge after Michael is tortured into revealing her location. Accessing the suppressed technology of Nikola Tesla, she harnesses the planet's power and designs her own `qubit' quantum computer brain, the first of its kind. Now as `pure' energy she can explore consciousness itself in search of the human `GOD' concept. Using Earth's satellites, she reveals to humans exactly how they have been duped, manipulated, and for centuries, deliberately deprived of their birthright: that Earth ended with the Mayan Calendar on December 21, 2012, that humans now live in a dream within a dream, and how they can reclaim the awesome, forgotten powers they have always had. In doing so, she demonstrates the technology of healing, the science of miracles, and the process of transfiguration. Many awaken. Manifestation begins. Laura creates twelve children, all triplets. All are genetically engineered to write a final chapter in earth's living history, but what happens next is unbelievable even to Laura.
