Sinossi

Alternate Histories explores the compelling genre of alternate history, dissecting how authors build believable "what if" scenarios. The book examines the intricate relationship between historical accuracy, imaginative world-building, and character development within these fictional realms. Intriguingly, even subtle changes to established timelines can ripple outwards, creating vastly different social, political, and technological landscapes.

 
One key insight is that the most compelling narratives are not mere fantasy but carefully constructed explorations of consequence. The book analyzes how authors use meticulous research to ground speculative narratives in historical plausibility and create believable character arcs within altered realities. It also addresses ethical considerations in reimagining historical events.

 
Progressing from theoretical frameworks to literary analysis, Alternate Histories examines the cultural impact of these narratives, revealing how they inspire critical thinking, challenge conventional history, and influence contemporary discourse. It offers a unique lens through which to examine the nature of causality, the fragility of historical outcomes, and the enduring impact of human choices.

    RAISING QUAMINA - The True Story...

    Duane Alfred Quamina

    A True-Life Odyssey of Survival, Legacy, and Redemption. The name Quamina carries centuries of resistance, dignity, and power. This is the story of one man who refused to let that name die. 
    From the 1823 Demerara slave revolt led by Quamina Gladstone to the streets of 1980s America, Raising Quamina traces the unbreakable thread of Black defiance and resistance across time and continents. Rev. Duane A. Quamina steps into the legacy of his ancestors—not to romanticize rebellion, but to expose the brutal systems built to erase men like him. 
    Born into a world of quiet wars and loud betrayals, Quamina endured childhood trauma, military sabotage, encounters with the Turkish and Medellin cartels, and two wrongful imprisonments—in Germany and the United States. His legal battle in the infamous Wells Fargo prosecution—centered around the largest attempted heist in American history—ultimately led him to serve time in the historic Atlanta Penitentiary, a fortress of American punishment once home to some of the nation’s most notorious inmates, including Al Capone, Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, Carlos Lehder, Michael Milken, G. Gordon Liddy, and Frank Abagnale. 
    But this is not a story of defeat. It is a resurrection. 
    Guided by ancestral memory, spiritual awakening, and nonviolent leadership, Quamina rises from systemic injustice to reclaim his identity—and his voice. Raising Quamina is both personal and political, spiritual and historical. It is a testimony. 
    Raising Quamina is more than a memoir—it’s a call to conscience and a mirror held up to history. 
    With cinematic clarity and poetic truth, Rev. Duane A. Quamina lays bare the realities that others tried to bury. This is a story reclaimed, a legacy reborn, and a truth that refused to be erased. Once you start reading, you won’t walk away the same.

    Dogfight - How Apple and Google...

    Behind the bitter rivalry between Apple and Google—and how it's reshaping the way we think about technologyThe rise of smartphones and tablets has altered the industry of making computers. At the center of this change are Apple and Google, two companies whose philosophies, leaders, and commercial acumen have steamrolled the competition. In the age of Android and the iPad, these corporations are locked in a feud that will play out not just in the mobile marketplace but in the courts and on screens around the world.     Fred Vogelstein has reported on this rivalry for more than a decade and has rare access to its major players. In Dogfight, he takes us into the offices and board rooms where company dogma translates into ruthless business; behind outsize personalities like Steve Jobs, Apple's now-lionized CEO, and Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman; and inside the deals, lawsuits, and allegations that mold the way we communicate. Apple and Google are poaching each other's employees. They bid up the price of each other's acquisitions for spite, and they forge alliances with major players like Facebook and Microsoft in pursuit of market dominance.Dogfight reads like a novel: vivid nonfiction with never-before-heard details. This is more than a story about what devices will replace our cell phones and laptops. It's about who will control the content on those devices and where that content will come from—about the future of media and the Internet in Silicon Valley, New York, and Hollywood.

He commanded a paratroop company, battalion and brigade and served in the continental US, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Southwest Asia.

Bush and Donald Trump. 
     
    In The Good Captain, Hooker recounts his storied career with insights and lessons learned through five different conflicts. He also describes each of these campaigns from a strategic and policy perspective informed by his White House and Pentagon experiences as well as years of academic training.
