The Salukis in My Life - Here there and everywhere from the Arab World to China

Terence Clark

Sinopse

Sir Terence Clark’s The Salukis in my Life is part-memoir, part-travelogue, and explores in lively and unprecedented detail the history and significance of the Saluki across the world.
 
Indigenous to the Arabian peninsula, the desert-bred Saluki has for centuries been revered, and remains as highly valued today for its elegance and intelligence. Sir Terence’s own life and work have been profoundly influenced by this ancient breed. His commitment to the study, enjoyment and preservation of these ‘Companions of Kings’ has taken him far and wide and introduced him to extraordinary people and places: in Iraq and Oman (where he was British Ambassador), throughout the Middle East and across Syria, into Central Asia, Russiaand China.
 
Beautifully illustrated with personal photographs, artwork and calligraphy, this book interweaves Sir Terence’s fascinating life story with the history of the breed throughout the region. His passion for Salukis is infectious – whether for hunting, showing, coursing, breeding or simply companionship, the reader cannot help but share the love.

The TR-3B Black Manta - What is...

Martin K. Ettington

The TR-3B, or Black Manta, or Astra is one of the most fascinating potentially top secret aircraft ever created by the United States military. 
The big reason for this is that this craft is supposed to use anti-gravity technology. This technology is discussed a lot in this book. 
Also, what other evidence is there for the existence of this craft? There are lots of unknowns here but there are also enough pictures of this aircraft that you can’t just discount sightings as being something else which the observers misinterpreted. 
There are even anti-gravity patents by US government researchers which might be applicable to the reality of the TR-3B. 
Overall, the existence of this craft is a huge mystery which still needs exploration and solutions to what it really is. 
This is what I’m trying to do in this book.

A New War on Cancer - The...

Kristina Marusic, Philip J....

For more than fifty years, we have been waging, but not winning, the war on cancer. The astonishing news is that up to two-thirds of all cancer cases are linked to preventable environmental causes. If we can stop cancer before it begins, why don't we? 
 
 
 
That was the question that motivated Kristina Marusic's revelatory inquiry into cancer prevention. They recognize that we will never reduce cancer rates without ridding our lives of the chemicals that increasingly trigger this deadly disease. 
 
 
 
One scientist grew up without seeing examples of Indian-American women in the field, yet went on to make shocking discoveries about racial disparities in cancer risk. Another leader knew her calling was children's health, but realized only later in her career that kids can be harmed by invisible pollutants at their daycares. 
 
 
 
For these individuals, the fight has become personal. And it certainly is personal for Berry, a young woman whose battle with breast cancer is woven throughout these pages. Marusic shows that, collectively, we have the power to prevent many cases like Berry's. The war on cancer is winnable—if we revolutionize the way we fight.
