Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? by Brian Fies Pdf

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?, the long-awaited follow-up to Mom's Cancer, is a unique graphic novel that tells the story of a young boy and his relationship with his father. Spanning the period from the 1939 New York World's Fair to the last Apollo space mission in 1975, it is told through the eyes of a boy as he grows up in an era that was optimistic and ambitious, fueled by industry, engines, electricity, rockets, and the atom bomb. An insightful look at relationships and the promise of the future, award-winning author Brian Fies presents his story in a way that only comics and graphic novels can. Interspersed with the comic book adventures of Commander Cap Crater (created by Fies to mirror the styles of the comics and the time periods he is depicting), and mixing art and historical photographs, this groundbreaking graphic novel is a lively trip through a half century of technological evolution. It is also a perceptive look at the changing moods of our nation-and the enduring promise of the future. Praise for Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? “A graphic novel that looks like TV’s “Futurama” bred with The Golden Age of Comic Books, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? is at times charming, at times sad and foreboding, and always thought provoking.” —Air & Space Smithsonian "A hopelessly optimistic moon-age daydream"—The Village Voice “An exceptional and highly engaging experience.” —The Miami Herald "Whatever Happened To The World Of Tomorrow is a very special book that will speak to you on so many levels. And at the end of it, when you sit there and think on what you’ve just read, it may even make you, like it did me, realise that Fies’ vision of our past and his hope for the future is something we can all share in. Quite brilliant."—Richard Bruton, forbiddenplanet.co.uk F&P level: Y

What Happened to My World? by Helen Kizer Pdf

"What Happened To My World?" tells about how the world has changed since my youth. We have taken God's word and prayer out of our schools. We have a law that says you may kill the innocent little baby in the womb. We have forsaken God's plan for marriage between a man and a woman and decided we know more than Creator,and we will also allow marriage between two men or two women. Some in our nation have tried to remove God and his word from our land. But that will never happen. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." St. Matthew 24:35 But God will not bless a nation that forgets God. His word says" Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance." Psalms 33:12

What Happened to Gravity: the world transformed by Shalom Keshet Pdf

I was just taking a walk on the street when suddenly, I jumped. It was a very slight hop, but I did not do it by intention; it happened itself. Later that night, I was still thinking about it. I watched the news to see if the incident occurred to anybody else, and surprisingly, others also experienced the same. What happened to gravity! — are we losing grip on gravity?

Whatever Happened to the Third World? by Peter de Haan Pdf

How can the successful development of some former Third World countries be explained, while other developing countries have remained stagnant or worse, have deteriorated into failed states? This book offers a history of the economics of development. De Haan examines how the right mix of policies and evolving insights in development economics have impacted certain countries with the progression from low-income to middle-income, and even high-income status. In particular middle-income countries encounter hindrances to transit into high-income countries. The challenges of low-income countries and those of fragile and failed states is elaborated as well. Due attention is given to successive generations of development economists, economic growth models and international trade theories to provide academic background to the evolution or stagnation of developing countries. The author’s own experience in development aid is woven into the text, making this book important and entertaining reading for researchers, students of development economics, international trade and international aid.

What in the World Happened in the Kingdom of Judah? by Virginia L. Smith Pdf

Biblical history comes to life! This book is a fascinating blend of historical fact and narrative fiction that weaves a rich tapestry of the life and times of the biblical prophet Isaiah. It begins during the reign of King Uzziah who plays a major part in determining the parents of Isaiah. The mother rejects her baby who is then raised by his father, a court reporter in the palace. Isaiah was an unwanted child, a reluctant prophet, who worked during the reigns of four kings. He overcame his hesitation and served for 60 years as a messenger for God, preparing the people of Judah first to survive the invasion of Assyria, then later to prepare for the more serious captivity under Babylon. He wrote many of the beautiful promises we memorize today that continue to comfort God’s people as we prepare for the Second Coming. The book has it all—drama, jealousy, narrow escapes, pagan worship of idols, wars and enslavement, deception, leprosy, royalty, intrigue, an earthquake, kidnapping, child sacrifice, romance, miracles, the rise and fall of kingdoms—set against a historical backdrop rich in details with unparalleled scope. These details of life and everyday conversation paint a realistic picture of Isaiah’s life from childhood to youth and on to adulthood. No spoiler alerts here. You have to read the book! "You will never think about Isaiah in the same way after reading Dr. Virginia Smith's book on his life and ministry. Be prepared for a creative and enlightening read that brings the ancient prophet vividly to life.” ~ George R. Knight, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Andrews University “I was able to relate to parts of the book, and it expanded my imagination, so I want to study more in the Bible. This is a must-read book about Isaiah.” ~ Michaela Yonathan, 12-years old “This book took me to new heights of my love for prophetic books—a perfect book for teens and young adults.” ~ Dr. Kham Khan Khai, Lecturer, Asia-Pacific International University

The Mammoth Book of How it Happened: World War I by Jon E. Lewis Pdf

The spectre of the Great War still haunts us. No other conflict so dramatically illustrates the waste of life, and the slaughter of innocents, as that of 1914-18. And none has so dramatically shaped the modern world: the Russian Revolution, the rise of Hitler, the break-up of Empire, the supremacy of America and World War II all stem from the four years of the 'war to end all wars'. Here is the eye-witness chronicle of that war, from the trenches of Flanders to the staff rooms of the Imperial Germany Army, from T. E. Lawrence in the desert to the 'Red Baron' in the air, from Land Girls in England to German U-boat crews in the Atlantic, it leaves nothing out. And if all the horror of the war fought by the Tommies in the trenches is captured, so too are the machinations of the 'top brass' and politicians.

World Without Us by Alan Weisman Pdf

Most books about the environment build on dire threats warning of the possible extinction of humanity. Alan Weisman avoids frightening off readers by disarmingly wiping out our species in the first few pages of this remarkable book. He then continues with an astounding depiction of how Earth will fare once we’re no longer around. The World Without Us is a one-of-a-kind book that sweeps through time from the moment of humanity’s future extinction to millions of years into the future. Drawing on interviews with experts and on real examples of places in the world that have already been abandoned by humans—Chernobyl, the Korean DMZ and an ancient Polish forest—Weisman shows both the shocking impact we’ve had on our planet and how impermanent our footprint actually is.
