Beschreibung:
First edition/printing. Book is in Fine condition. Jacket (in a protector) is in Very Good Plus condition with a chip out top spine. " In the frame story of Death of a World (1948), Aliens arrive on a dead Earth, where they discover the diary of an Englishman composed several decades after World War Two, just as World War Three is about to begin; this diary makes up the bulk of the text. He manages to survive the predicted nuclear Holocaust in an Underground Keep along with a few companions (see End of the World; Last Man), but the alien visitors find nothing but the broken-off diary itself; the Ruined Earth they contemplate seems entirely lifeless."

"Cryonics: The practice of freezing the body of a person who has died from a disease in hopes of restoring life at some future time when a cure for the disease has been developed. Alco Life Extension Foundation is the world's leading cryonics organization. Science or scam? Fact or fanaticism? Biotech geniuses or murderous cult?" - from the rear outer jacket cover. "He killed her.We're pretty secure in all this stuff.Who's going to admit to anything? It's deniable." - Joe Hovey, Alcor secretary, treasurer, and former vice president (transcribed from one of Larry Johnson's secret recordings). "We used bars of potassium chloride. It was to kill them.to put them down and make sure they stayed that way.We did not want anyone waking up and causing problems." - Hugh Hixon, Alcor senior board member and facilities engineer (transcribed from one of Larry Johnson's secret recordings). "These people will stop at nothing to protect themselves and their beliefs. It's an organization that needs to be looked into by every law enforcement agency there is." - Alan Kunzman, senior deputy coroner investigator, Riverside County, CA. "At first, the job as clinical director at Alcor Life Extension Foundation was an exciting change for veteran paramedic Larry Johnson: a well-funded research facility pushing the limits of modern biotech. But as he gained the trust of his eccentric coworkers and was promoted to acting COO, Larry was thrust into a nightmare world of scandalous controversy, gruesome practices, and deadly secrets. One secret Larry unearthed was the full, tragic, never-before-heard story of what truly happened to the body of baseball icon and American hero Ted Williams. Compelled by this an other horrific discoveries, Larry began copying documents, taking secret pictures, and ultimately wearing a wire every day at Alcor. He started living two lives - "Alcorian" by day, whistle-blower by night. Beyond the senseless animal experiments, beyond the dumping of toxic chemicals and AIDS-contaminated blood into the public sewage system, these people saw themselves as the elite, the immortal saviors of mankind who would lead us into the future. Inside this cult-like mentality, anything seemed justified. Maybe even murder. Then Alcor found out. The death threats began. Fleeing from state to state, Larry was stalked and threatened again and again. They chased him through the streets. They left death threats under his windshield wipers. They terrorized his family. Larry Johnson never wanted to be a whistle-blower. But he knows this story must be told. Written in Larry's own memorable voice, illustrated with never-before-seen photographs from inside Alcor, and verified by actual transcripts of his "secret recordings," Frozen reads like a medical thriller-but every word is shockingly true." - from the inner front jacket flap.

"An extraordinary, untold story of the Second World War in the vein of Unbroken and The Boys in the Boat, from the author of Friday Night Lights and 3 Nights in August. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, college football was at the peak of its popularity. As the nation geared up for total war, one branch of the service dominated the aspirations of college football stars: the United States Marine Corps. Wich is why, on Christmas Eve of 1944, when the 4th and 29th Marine Regiments found themselves in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, training for what would be the bloodiest battle of the war -- the invasion of Okinawa -- their ranks included one of the greatest pools of football talent ever assembled: former All-Americas, captains from Wisconsin and Brown and Notre Dame, and nearly twenty men who were either drafted to or would ultimately play in the NFL. When the trash talking between the 4th and 29th over who had the better football team reached a fever pitch, it was decided: the two regiments would play each other in a football game as close to the real thing as you could get in the dirt and coral of Guadalcanal. The bruising and bloody game that followed became known as "the Mosquito Bowl." Within a matter of months, fifteen of the sixty-five players in "the Mosquito Bowl" would be killed at Okinawa, by far the largest number of American athletes ever to die in a single battle. The Mosquito Bowl is the story of these brave and beautiful young men, those who survived and those who did not. It is the story of the families and the landscape that shaped them. It is a story of a far more innocent time in both college athletics and the life of the country -- and of the loss of that innocence. Buzz Bissinger, writing with the style and rigor that won him a Pulitzer Prize and that have made several of his books modern classics, takes us from the playing fields of America's campuses, where boys played at being marines, to the final time they were allowed to still be boys on that field of dirt and coral, to the darkest and deadliest days that followed, at Okinawa." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Buzz Bissinger was born n 1954. He is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. He lives in both southwestern Washington State and Philadelphia. He is married to Lisa Smith and has three children. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 007248
