A story about the weight we carry, and the people who help us finally set it down. Preston Clarke is ninety years old. He is a soldier, a husband, a father, a builder, and now a resident of The Cove, an assisted living facility in North Georgia. His world has grown small and quiet. But Preston still has stories, and when a young nurse named Carole Clarke begins spending real time with him, he finds the one thing he thought he had lost for good: someone willing to listen. What she hears is the story of a full, complicated, and quietly remarkable life. Inside this book, you will find: • A Life Fully Lived: A Vietnam veteran, entrepreneur, and devoted husband whose private acts of courage and generosity shaped more lives than he ever took credit for. • A Friendship That Changes Everything: The unlikely bond between a ninety-year-old man and a young nurse who becomes the keeper of his story. • A Secret Fifty Years in the Making: A wartime mistake, monthly payments sent across the country for decades, and a daughter who never knew his name. • A Love Story at Its Core: Preston and Edna Clarke, sixty-three years of marriage, tested once, and stronger for it. Preston is a work of fiction by David R. Bales about legacy, redemption, and the quiet power of being truly heard before it is too late.Show book
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a nineteenth-century German philosopher. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, using a distinctive German language style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. Thus Spake Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra), is a work composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same", the parable on the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Overman, which were first introduced in The Gay Science. Described by Nietzsche himself as "the deepest ever written", the book is a dense and esoteric treatise on philosophy and morality, featuring as protagonist a fictionalized Zarathustra. A central irony of the text is that the style of the Bible is used by Nietzsche to present ideas of his which fundamentally oppose Judaeo-Christian morality and tradition.

Doomsday headlines warn that the age of "killer robots" is upon us, and that new military technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to the annihilation of the human race. What's fact and what's fiction? In The Case for Killer Robots: Why America's Military Needs to Continue Development of Lethal AI, artificial intelligence expert Robert J. Marks investigates the potential military use of lethal AI and examines the practical and ethical challenges. Marks provocatively argues that the development of lethal AI is not only appropriate in today's society—it is unavoidable if America wants to survive and thrive into the future. Dr. Marks directs the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute, and he is a Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Baylor University. This short monograph is produced in conjunction with the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence, which can be visited at centerforintelligence.org.Show book
The Hittites were mentioned in the Bible. They were an Anatolian people that contributed to creating a kingdom in Kussara before 1750 BC, the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom between 1750 and 1650 BC, and finally an empire based upon Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around 1650 BC. Under uppiluliuma I, the empire reached its peak in the mid-14th century BC, when it ruled over much of Anatolia and areas of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.Between the 15th and 13th centuries BC, the Hattusa Empire, also called the Hittite Empire, defended control of the Near East with the New Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Assyrian Empire, and the Mitanni Empire. The Middle Assyrian Empire ultimately emerged as the dominant power, took much of the Hittite Empire, and ransacked the rest by Phrygian newbies to the area. The Hittites separated into numerous self-governing Syro-Hittite countries around c. 1180 BC, at the time of the Late Bronze Age collapse, some of which stayed till the 8th century BC before giving up to the Neo-Assyrian Empire.I urge you to learn more about this fascinating people from the ancient world.Show book
