The Power of Transformation

Book Synopsis: A true story of survival, GED to PhD illustrates how a young man living in a dysfunctional family overcame family rivalry, verbal abuse, learning problems, and substance abuse. Through determination, hope, and faith he completed a PhD. Vernon's prayer is that this book will provide encouragement, excitement, and hope for those who are struggling with educational disabilities, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, depression, and addictions. From a young age, Vernon was told that he would not amount to much in life. He was never encouraged to succeed in academics and gave up on life. The minute that God entered his life, it was transformed. In this book, readers will experience the different twists and turns of Vernon's academic and professional journey. This book will show how he was transformed from a loser to a winner, a high school drop-out to a person who completed a PhD, a laborer to a college campus president, a non-rated enlisted member to a Senior Chief Petty Officer, then a commissioned Chief Warrant Officer, from a lost young man to a church leader, elder, and minister and from a lost young married man to a father and grandfather.

La Chine contre l'Amérique

' La Troisième Guerre mondiale commencera-t-elle en Asie ? L'Amérique, le shérif global et la Chine, le seigneur local, s'observent dans la vaste étendue qu'ils partagent, le Pacifique. Ils s'arment. Leur étroite imbrication économique et financière n'empèche pas une rivalité stratégique croissante. Leur duel dominera le siècle. 'Et qui en sera le vainqueur ? En tout cas, pas l'Europe, qui assiste impuissante aux rivalités. Dans cette enquète informée aux meilleures sources, Alain Frachon et Daniel Vernet reviennent sur deux siècles de relations chaotiques entre la Chine et les Etats-Unis. Un passé qui empoisonne le présent. La Chine s'américanise, les Etats-Unis se financent à Pékin. D'une jeunesse urbaine qui boit du coca-cola et s'informe en temps réel sur Weibo, le twitter chinois, à un colonel ultranationaliste qui rève de suprématie, du Pacifique épicentre sismique à la mer du Japon, des casernes aux officines secrètes de Washington, ce livre, chronique d'un choc annoncé, tente de répondre à la question: conflit armé ou ascension paisible de la Chine ? Et si la vérité sortait de la plume de Sun Tzu: ' L'art de la guerre, c'est de soumettre l'ennemi sans combat. ' ?

Desperately Young

The first book to celebrate great artists who died before their time providing a unique insight into their life, work and death.Desperately Young introduces the masterpieces left behind by some of the greatest rising stars in fine art - all of whom died before their thirtieth birthday. Precocious talent seeps from each artist's work, along with a sense of unfulfilled potential. Informative biographies detail their legacies, while their tragic deaths lead us to wonder what heights they might've reached, had their lives not been cut short. Richly illustrated, Desperately Young presents prime examples of each artist's work, demonstrating how our cultural heritage is just a little narrower for their loss. From Europe to America to Japan and the Indian Subcontinent, the mid-14-hundreds to the late 20th century, this book hails the acknowledged greats and introduces those who died before they could leave an indelible mark on history. A compendium of 109 artists who fell prey to sickness, warfare, heartbreak or bad luck, Desperately Young is the only book to provide an in-depth study of artists who died young. Contents: With works from Tommaso Masaccio, Frédéric Bazille, Thomas Girtin, Egon Schiele, Henri Regnault, Ernst Klimt, Jeanne Hébuterne, Kaita Murayama, Hermann Stenner, Maurycy Gottlieb, Fyodor Vasilyev, Marie Bashkirtseff, Richard Parkes Bonington, Luisa Anguissola, Walter Deverell, August Macke, Pauline Boty and Jean-Michel Basquiat - among many others.
