Hidden History of Denver (Hidden History)
by Elizabeth Victoria WallaceWhen prospectors set up camp on Cherry Creek in 1858, Denver emerged as a lightning rod for the extraordinary. Time has washed away so many unusual stories�from the dark days of nineteenth century Law and Order League lynchings and the KKK�s later rise and fall to the heroism of suffragettes and the touching plight of the gypsies. Elizabeth Wallace knocks the dust off these details and introduces readers to characters like world heavyweight boxing champion Charles L. �Sonny� Liston, hit-man turned rodeo promoter Leland Varain, aka �Diamond Jack,� and the city�s daring wall dogs, whose hand-painted building advertisements are fading reminders of a bygone Denver.
The Painted Bridge: A Novel
by Wendy WallaceSpellbinding and intricate, The Painted Bridge is a tale of secrets, lost lives, and a woman seizing her own destiny: &“A chilling page-turner about the muddy line between sanity and madness&” (Caroline Leavitt, author of Pictures of You).Outside London behind a stone wall stands Lake House, a private asylum for genteel women of a delicate nature. In the winter of 1859, recently married Anna Palmer becomes its newest arrival, tricked by her husband into leaving home, incarcerated against her will, and declared hysterical and unhinged. With no doubts as to her sanity, Anna is convinced that she will be released as soon as she can tell her story. But Anna learns that liberty will not come easily. The longer she remains at Lake House, the more she realizes that—like the ethereal bridge over the asylum’s lake—nothing is as it appears. She begins to experience strange visions and memories that may lead her to the truth about her past, herself, and to freedom…or lead her so far into the recesses of her mind that she may never escape. Set in Victorian England, as superstitions collide with a new psychological understanding, novelist Wendy Wallace “masterfully creates an atmosphere of utter claustrophobia and dread, intermingled with the ever-present horror of the reality of women’s minimal rights in the nineteenth century” (Publishers Weekly). The Painted Bridge is a tale of self-discovery, secrets, and a search for the truth in a world where the line between madness and sanity seems perilously thin.

A Question of Loyalty: Gen. Billy Mitchell and the Court-martial That Gripped the Nation
by Douglas C. WallerA Question of Loyalty plunges into the seven-week Washington trial of Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell, the hero of the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I and the man who proved in 1921 that planes could sink a battleship. In 1925 Mitchell was frustrated by the slow pace of aviation development, and he sparked a political firestorm, accusing the army and navy high commands -- and by inference the president -- of treason and criminal negligence in the way they conducted national defense. He was put on trial for insubordination in a spectacular court-martial that became a national obsession during the Roaring Twenties.Uncovering a trove of new letters, diaries, and confidential documents, Douglas Waller captures the drama of the trial and builds a rich and revealing biography of Mitchell.
Sovereign Ladies: Sex, Sacrifice, and Power: The Six Reigning Queens of England
by Maureen WallerMaureen Waller has written a fascinating narrative history---a brilliant combination of drama and biographical insight on the British monarchy---of the six women who have ruled England in their own names. In the last millennium there have been only six English female sovereigns: Mary I and Elizabeth I, Mary II and Anne, Victoria and Elizabeth II. With the exception of Mary I, they are among England's most successful monarchs. Without Mary II and Anne, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 might not have taken place. Elizabeth I and Victoria each gave their name to an age, presiding over long periods when Britain made significant progress in the growth of empire, prestige, and power. All of them have far-reaching legacies. Each faced personal sacrifices and emotional dilemmas in her pursuit of political power. How to overcome the problem of being a female ruler when the sex was considered inferior? Does a queen take a husband and, if so, how does she reconcile the reversal of the natural order, according to which the man should be the master? A queen's first royal duty is to provide an heir to the throne, but at what cost? In this richly compelling narrative of royalty, Maureen Waller delves into the intimate lives of England's queens regnant in delicious detail, assessing their achievements from a female perspective.
Marke und Mythos
by Stefan WallerMarke und Mythos.Eine kulturphilosophische BetrachtungIn Marken treten die Sehnsüchte des modernen Menschen hervor. In Nike die Hoffnung darauf es zu schaffen, wenn man es nur einfach tut; in einem Mercedes das Streben nach Status und in einer Master-Card verdichtetet sich die Sehnsucht nach denjenigen Momenten, die man für Geld nicht kaufen kann (für die man aber doch welches braucht). Die Liste kann man noch sehr lange fortsetzen. Trotzdem diese Markenbotschaften in den verschiedensten Kulturen verstanden werden, fuhren sie in der kulturphilosophischen Debatte ein Schattendasein. Professionellen Denkern erscheinen Marken im harmlosesten Falle als banal und im schlimmsten Falle als Instrument in einem malignen Verblendungszusammenhang. Als Ausdruck des Kapitalismus allemal, dem man kritisch, und das heißt ablehnend gegenübersteht. In einer neutraleren Haltung wird die Beschäftigung mit Marken als Gegenstand von Betriebswirtschaft, Marketing und Design verstanden und damit außerhalb der eigenen Kompetenz angesiedelt.
A Sea-Dog of Devon: A Life Of Sir John Hawkins, English Naval Commander, Privateer And Slaver Of The 16th Century
by R A J Walling“Sir John Hawkins was a naval commander and privateer during the Elizabethan era in the 16th century, who explored swathes of the New World amid danger and treachery.Born to William Hawkins, master of The Great Galley of Henry VIII's navy, from youth John aspired to a mariner's career. His father's reputation as sailor and merchant aided John's rise, especially when it was clear the younger Hawkins had inherited the vital talents of seamanship and business. John's first commission from Queen Elizabeth in 1562 was a turning point; returning home with enormous gains, which he built on in further expeditions, his future in England's navy was set.Hawkins was pivotal in planning and commissioning further ships for the English navy, and proved an able administrator. As the Spanish Armada approached in 1588, he served alongside Francis Drake and other commanders—the dispatches Hawkins gave of the enormous fleet are matter-of-fact, noting the immense operational challenges England's sailors were under.In modern times, Hawkins is notorious for his dealings in the slave trade, being among the first English slavers. On several journeys he bartered for hundreds of African tribes people, whom he then ferried for sale to plantation owners in the New World. His actions marked the point England joined an inhumane, barbarously lucrative trade, in direct competition with the Spanish and Portuguese.”-Print ed.

The Best Land Under Heaven: The Donner Party In The Age Of Manifest Destiny
by Michael WallisLonglisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence Finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award A Publishers Weekly Holiday Guide History Pick “A book so gripping it can scarcely be put down.... Superb.” —New York Times Book Review "WESTWARD HO! FOR OREGON AND CALIFORNIA!" In the eerily warm spring of 1846, George Donner placed this advertisement in a local newspaper as he and a restless caravan prepared for what they hoped would be the most rewarding journey of a lifetime. But in eagerly pursuing what would a century later become known as the "American dream," this optimistic-yet-motley crew of emigrants was met with a chilling nightmare; in the following months, their jingoistic excitement would be replaced by desperate cries for help that would fall silent in the deadly snow-covered mountains of the Sierra Nevada. We know these early pioneers as the Donner Party, a name that has elicited horror since the late 1840s. With The Best Land Under Heaven, Wallis has penned what critics agree is “destined to become the standard account” (Washington Post) of the notorious saga. Cutting through 160 years of myth-making, the “expert storyteller” (True West) compellingly recounts how the unlikely band of early pioneers met their fate. Interweaving information from hundreds of newly uncovered documents, Wallis illuminates how a combination of greed and recklessness led to one of America’s most calamitous and sensationalized catastrophes. The result is a “fascinating, horrifying, and inspiring” (Oklahoman) examination of the darkest side of Manifest Destiny.

AI-Assisted Writing and Presenting in English (English for Academic Research)
by Adrian WallworkThis book is part of the English for Academic Research series. It shows university students and researchers how to optimize their use of chatbots and machine translation in order to correct the English usage of a research paper, and write emails, letters, and presentation scripts and slides in English. English-speaking language editors, translators, and EAP teachers will also find this book useful. The main focus is on ChatGPT and Google Translate. However the techniques proposed will also work with equivalent tools. You will learn the areas where ChatGPT works well: correcting, improving, paraphrasing, reducing, and summarizing texts; generating / suggesting texts; answering queries; and simulating academic scenarios. A key strategy for enhancing the output of machine translation is to pre-edit and post-edit your texts – this book tells you how. You will also learn what ChatGPT is currently NOT able to do, e.g. differentiating between ‘essential’ and ‘non-essential’; listing all the changes it has made; highlighting your key findings; and advising you when you have written too much, plagiarized, used biased language, or forgotten to mention the limitations of your work. The book lists over 170 prompts that you can use with a chatbot. The author recommends using ChatGPT as an assistant, but not for generating an entire paper. Adrian Wallwork edits scientific papers and teaches English for Academic Purposes (EAP) to PhD students. In addition to his many books for Springer, he has written course books for Oxford University Press and discussion books for Cambridge University Press. He is passionate about exploiting the advances in artificial intelligence to help researchers around the world write and publish their work.

The Essential Path: Overcoming Fear and Finding Freedom in an Ever-Changing World
by Neale Donald Walsch“Deep inside you know Who You Truly Are. We all do. It's not a question of discovering it, it's a question of claiming it. Being it. And that's actually easier done than said. We're all just one decision away from The Essential Path. It's a path that could change a world that deeply yearns for a new direction.” — Neale Donald Walsch, author, The Essential PathOur modern era is plagued by increasing alienation—we are seeing an “us against them” world. Everywhere we turn, we find ourselves divided from each other as never before across political, economic, social, and spiritual lines. As humanity is being torn apart right before our eyes—separating many of us from our friends and even our loved ones, from our hopes and dreams, from the natural world, and from so much that gives meaning and value to our lives—people are blaming everyone and everything around them for the collective problems that we have created ourselves. We are turning against each other, rather than to each other, just when we need each other the most. Bestselling author of Conversations with God Neale Donald Walsch offers a radical solution to the growing problem of humanity’s alienation. He invites us to question our basic assumptions about ourselves, about each other, about life and how it works, and about God, and to rethink the very definition of humanity. The Essential Path challenges every human to make a Daring Decision—to look at who we are and how we can choose to be, in a planet-altering new way. With insight and spiritual perceptivity, Walsch peers into the heart of a broken, divided society, prompting us to ask the critical questions that have the power to transform our world.
