Any red-blooded American knows that the first action of the Revolutionary War took place at Concord, Massachusetts, with the shot heard ''round the world. But a good deal of what is widely known about those early days of the Revolution is wrong. In this new book, historian D. Michael Ryan illuminates acts of uprising of Patriots and Loyalists during the first action of the Revolutionary War in and around Concord. Through a series of compelling essays, Ryan debunks historical myths and salutes those who fought for the recognition of our nation and became the first heroes of the fledgling United States. What was romanticized and changed in the generations since the Revolution is presented here directly through the voices of the people who faced the shocking facts of war and rebellion. From Dr. Samuel Prescott, who joined Paul Revere on his famous ride and left fiancée Lydia Mulliken behind, to the mystery of the Bedford Flag unfurled on April 19, these stories reveal the truths of our founding fathers and mothers. As their lives were interrupted by the birth of a country, the citizens of Concord saw their friends and neighbors engaged in acts of bravery and of depravity. Ryan''s account of the shot heard ''round the world, provides a glimpse at the realities of the American Revolution.

Trump''s Secret Shadows: Assault on Our Nation is an unflinching investigative exposé written for the 99% by whistleblower Michael P. Ryan. All Americans deserve greater transparency about threats that corrupt the democratic process and hamper free and fair elections. Every citizen''s vote is a secure ballot backed by faith that our democracy will withstand attacks on multiple fronts. These threats include systems-based vulnerabilities in our software voting systems, super PACs that allow the super- wealthy to diminish the power of small donors, and interference in our nation''s electoral process-as treacherously evident in the insurrection of January 6th, a day immortalized as the darkest chapter in our nation''s history. This must-read book points out what''s wrong with our nation''s elections. Michael P. Ryan gives you a personal account of how a one percenter, a self-proclaimed patriot with marching orders from the Trump White House, played an important role in the embattled outcome of the 2020 Trump vs. Biden presidential election. 270 won the majority, and 306 electoral votes sealed Biden''s victory, but ardent objectors working secretly in the shadows would be damned.

In a not too distant future, an Executive Order will facilitate the erection of a forty foot concrete wall between the United States and Mexico. To build said wall, ?tiny hands? will use Worker Re-Education Centers, or WRECs, filled with illegal immigrants detained by the local authorities. The centers are advertised as an opportunity for thousands to learn English and earn their American Citizenship while contributing to the protection and safety of America. In fact, many immigrants choose to work on the wall in an attempt to fast-track their citizenship and start their new legal life with some cash in the bank. Mexico also receives a cut off their bill that they still refuse to pay. A win-win for everyone, right? Everyone, that is, except for Laz and Tilly Martinez-Baak, and countless couples like them. Inseparable, upstanding members of their Tucson community, both Laz and Tilly fall victim to the prejudiced laws of the land. On his way to teach a high school band class, Laz, a Mexican-American citizen, is arrested without identification and transported to a WREC outside of Naco, Arizona. Meanwhile, his wife returns home from an opening ceremony for the Nogales Liberty Gateway to discover her mate missing; only a cold pizza and wallet remain in her husband''s place. Can she use her celebrity as a local new reporter to get to the bottom of the story? Life''s abrupt redirection forces the severed lovers to utilize every resource at their disposal in a death-defying struggle against inhumanity and the forces that govern it. Will they be able to overcome the powers obstructing their union and conquer the atrocities awaiting them at the Drumpf''s Wall?Find out in The Wall: Part One of the Drumpf Nation Series.

ABSTRACT: Each specimen was tested against windward and uplift forces using an MTS machine capable of delivering axial forces to the specimens. In addition to continuous loading, fatigue loading was utilized to examine connection behavior once the connection was compromised and a load is re-applied. Load and corresponding displacement values were recorded during testing to provide comparable strength capacities for each specimen. In order to determine the probability of connection failure, fragility curves were constructed and interpreted then applied to a financial analysis to achieve benefit-cost ratios. The resulting financial and performance benefits serve as benchmarks for optimal connection configuration. The conclusions obtained from testing will provide valuable information to pool enclosure designers and contractors who hope to get clarification on the ambiguous range of connections used throughout Florida. Since little tangible research has been conducted on pool enclosure connection strength the insight provided by this research could prove useful to the pool enclosure industry.

Nuclear war and environmental collapse are central human challenges. The use of nuclear weapons poses an instantaneous threat to the ecology of the planet, but the creation of these weapons requires complex scientific and industrial processing of the inherently dangerous material uranium that generates a catalog of the most toxic wastes known to humanity. This dissertation identifies patterns of environmental outcomes that are shaped by the historical and social contexts of nuclear warmaking. The United States and the Soviet Union competed in a Cold War nuclear arms race that left a devastating legacy. A "treadmill of destruction" was generated by the inertial expansion and acceleration of an arms race that intensified the quantity and qualitative toxicity of nuclear waste streams. It was the social context of "exterminism" that crystallized in these societies, generating the treadmill of destruction mechanism; not all nuclear weapons production generates this mechanism. The appropriate configuration of antecedent conditions, critical junctures, structural persistence, and reactive sequences combine to produce a path-dependent outcome. The collapse of the Soviet Union did not signal an end to the treadmill of destruction; American and Russian nuclear warmaking has accelerated to unprecedented levels since the late 1990s. The treadmill of destruction mechanism is therefore critical to advancing our understanding of the developing tension between war and society. This tension is investigated in the context of nuclear warmaking as a set of historical processes that generated a unique and in some cases irremediable environmental legacy. The effort to clean up the legacy of these calamities may be one of the most complex and expensive scientific endeavors in human history, and the results so far have been discouraging. The emerging New Cold War urges nations to further modernize their nuclear arsenals, which may create new wastes and stymie meaningful remediation efforts by diverting resources and adding to the burden.
