  Read the only book containing an appendix of eye losses, makes reference to hand gel depicting a gay assassin, and to compare a group of all-women Japanese comic book artists to a German electronic band. 
  In early 2020, Ian Wolf - manga critic in print and online, autistic comedic data specialist, and some time question writer for Richard Osman's House of Games - decided that the best way to keep himself occupied while Britain was in Covid lockdown was to write a humorous book about his favorite manga artists - CLAMP... the women behind such works as Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHOLiC, X and Magic Knight Rayearth. 
  If you want to find out why the cases of the CLAMP School Detectives sound like challenges from Taskmaster, why almost everything in Magic Knight Rayearth is named after a car, why the British Museum illustrated their manga exhibit using the soft-core lesbian manga Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, or why the Cardcaptor Sakura Kinomoto's best friend has more than a whiff of The Fast Show's 13th Duke of Wybourne about her, this is the book for you.

  On November 4, 1979, "student" supporters of the Ayatollah seized the U.S. Embassy with over sixty hostages. Although the Cold War was in full swing, the Iran hostage crisis was a watershed for the United States. 
   
   
   
  Detachment A had been established in Berlin early in the Cold War to harass and delay any Soviet military advance west. This Special unit trained relentlessly for every aspect of unconventional warfare, and was later assigned a second mission of counterterrorism. 
   
   
   
  The plan for Operation Eagle Claw, as it became known, was extremely complex. The first stage was intelligence gathering—no mean feat as most of the CIA's capabilities in the country had been eliminated. With operatives trained in intelligence work, fluent in many languages, and adept at blending in, Det A took on the advanced recon of the targets. Then, when Delta Force admitted that it could only manage the assault of the Embassy, Det A volunteered to rescue the three Americans at the Foreign Ministry. 
   
   
   
  Veteran and historian James Stejskal details Det A's unique and integral role in Operation Eagle Claw, based upon firsthand accounts of the operatives involved.

  The Miracle of Our Universe - A...

  Without consciousness there is nothing. Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist, and whether there might be an afterlife experience awaiting you after our physical bodies die? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God. 
   
   
   
  A reason for a universal consciousness to do such a thing could be to experience and evolve itself through the free will actions of its offspring. This would entail thinking into existence a virtual universe so as to interact with such a universe and each other. Literally everything is consciousness in action, resulting in a gigantic cosmic simulation. We and other creatures are offspring of this God consciousness. 
   
   
   
  The Miracle of Our Universe explores the forefront of science and spirituality research, including: Are near-death experiences real? What is the Zero-Point Field? What kind of being could God be? Is there some place that God could have come from? How does the Big Bang figure into this? Is there an afterlife and what could it be like? What is the purpose of life? Is consciousness all there is? Is the Universe a virtual reality? Why is Hell impossible?

  King Josiah The Untold Story -...

  The History of Kings is vividly brought to life in this emotionally charged narrative of King Josiah and his contemporaries. Although the major portion of this novel centers upon the life and reign of King Josiah in particular, his grandfather King Manasseh, and father King Amon, are also vividly portrayed in the early chapters of this book to illustrate the conditions under which the child Prince Josiah matured and came of age along with many youthful life adventures and experiences that helped to mold him into the great King and leader of his people that he was. 
  While the Scriptural history of the Kings is honorably held to with nothing sugar-coated or glossed over, much of what history does not tell us is also realistically included in this account, (such as King Manasseh's prison sentence in Assyria), to create a seamlessly flowing storyline, complete with the customs and lifestyle of ancient Judah, the beauty of the land, and many unique surprises and gems of wisdom that you will surely find to be well worth your reading and or listening time. The uncompromising integrity and strength of character that King Josiah displayed during an age of vile corruption is a shining historical legacy that will encourage your faith to stand strong against the many challenges of our modern times.
