America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It
It’s the end of the world as we know it…
Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a
muezzin. Europeans already are. "The biggest globalization success story
of recent years is not McDonald's or Microsoft but Islamism," writes
Steyn.
...much of what we loosely call the Western world will not
survive the twenty-first century, and much of it will effectively disappear
within our lifetimes, including many if not most European countries. There'll
probably still be a geographical area on the map marked as Italy or the
Netherlands -
probably - just as in Istanbul there's still a building
known as Hagia Sophia, or St. Sophia's Cathedral. But it's not a cathedral;
it's merely a designation for a piece of real estate. Likewise, Italy and the
Netherlands will merely be designations for real estate.
And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"—while
Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops,
the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn’t violate the "separation of
church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights
in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy.
Encyclopedia of Geology – Elsevier
This unrivalled, five-volume reference work covers all
aspects of geology including earth history, earth materials, surface processes,
regional geology, economic geology, engineering geology, petroleum geology,
geochemical and mineral exploration, and the history of geology. The techniques
of remote sensing and other tools of investigation that have advanced rapidly
over the last few decades are described in detail.
Encyclopedia of
Geology is divided into nearly 350 articles, each covering one aspect of
geology. Full colour is used throughout the work and articles are heavily
cross-referenced and include further reading lists. The concepts and theory are
explained at a level that allows undergraduates and educated laypeople to
understand them. It will become the reference of choice for today's geologists
and beyond.
Religion and State - The Muslim Approach to Politics The author argues that Muslims had never previously faced a material and cultural challenge such as the West presented them during the last two centuries; and that this modern-times challenge has been more severe for Muslims than for any other peoples. “Islam and the West, it can be argued, is a special case.” From this base, he sketches the Muslim leaders’ generally accommodationist responses to the West and the concurrent decline in Islamic influence. The leaders imbued the public sphere with an activist spirit and educated much larger numbers of students. But these “secularizing, centralizing, nationalizing” states also created impossible expectations of themselves that they completely failed to deliver on. This failure provided an opening for the shunted-aside Islamists to have their say. And the rest, as they say, is history. – Daniel Pipes
Planetary Geology by NASA Education Pubs A Teacher’s Guide with Activities in Physical and Earth Sciences
There is a guide for each
activity level.
Many earth science courses
include an introduction to the solar system. The challenge of earth science is
to understand the natural processes that shape not only our planet, Earth, but
all objects in the solar system. But there are more compelling arguments for
including planetary science in the classroom. Those
arguments, some of which are outlined below, inspired NASA to conduct short
courses in planetology for earth science teachers at the secondary and college
levels. This book is an outgrowth of these short courses.
Politically incorrect guide to Islam Everything (well, almost everything) you know about Islam and the Crusades is wrong because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academics and Islamic apologists who justify their contemporary political agendas with contrived historical "facts." But fear not: Robert Spencer (author of the bestseller Islam Unveiled) refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). Spencer reveals facts that you won't be taught in school and will never hear on the evening news, supplies a revealing list of "Books You Must Not Read" (as far as the PC left is concerned), and takes you on a fast-paced politically incorrect tour of Islamic teaching and Crusades history that will give you all the information you need to understand the true nature of the global conflict America faces today.
