Donny pensava di avere tutto. Una vita agiata a L. A. e una ragazza bella quanto brillante Dorrie. Mentre Donny si è sempre discostato dalle cause sociali, Dorrie ha dedicato la sua vita a combattere le ingiustizie del sistema... ma crimine e corruzione hanno il loro modo di controbattere. Ora Dorrie è morta, e tocca a Donny portare avanti la sua causa! È l'ultima cosa che si sarebbe aspettato, ma più scopre i sotterfugi delle forze dell'ombra che hanno ucciso la donna che amava, più è determinato a farsi giustizia da solo, con ogni mezzo necessario. Cospirazioni. Corporazioni. Assassini. Segreti di famiglia che sarebbe meglio non dissotterrare. Il sistema non può fermarli, ma Donny può. Tutto ciò di cui ha bisogno sono i suoi pugni, il suo cervello, un po' di allenamento... e una maschera. Poiché a volte fare la cosa giusta, significa infrangere la legge.

Over the course of American history, Jews have held many American leaders in high esteem, but they maintain a unique emotional bond with Abraham Lincoln. From the time of his presidency to the present day, American Jews have persistently viewed Lincoln as one of their own, casting him as a Jewish sojourner and, in certain respects, a Jewish role model. The first volume of documents to focus on the history of Lincoln’s image, influence, and reputation among American Jews, this pioneering compendium considers how Lincoln acquired his exceptional status and how, over the past century and a half, this fascinating relationship has evolved.

Organized into twelve chronological and thematic chapters, these little-known primary source documents—including rare newspaper clippings, journal articles, letters, poems, and sermons—provide insight into a wide variety of issues relating to Lincoln’s Jewish connection, including his response to the Jewish chaplain controversy; General U. S. Grant’s General Orders No. 11 expelling “Jews, as a class” from the Military Department of Tennessee; Jewish eulogies after Lincoln’s assassination; how American Jews have “Judaized” Lincoln ever since his death; and how Lincoln became the avatar of America’s highest moral aspirations to its Jewish citizenry.

With thoughtful chapter introductions that provide readers with a historical narrative that sets a context for the annotated documents that follow, this volume provides a fascinating chronicle of American Jewry’s unfolding historical encounter with the life and symbolic image of Abraham Lincoln, shedding light on many overlooked aspects of the American Jewish experience.

The only modern guide to all aspects of practical tunnel construction

Practical Tunnel Construction fills a void in the literature for a practical guide to tunnel construction. By taking the reader through a brief introduction and history to a comprehensive discussion of how the geological factors affect tunneling, the author covers the stages and technology that are common today without using complex equations. Written for the individual who does not have an extensive background in tunneling but who has to make tunneling decisions, the various tunneling methods are discussed to help in the determination of the appropriate method. The methods discussed are: hand mining, drill/blast, Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), Norwegian Method of Tunnelling (NMT), Roadheader, Earth Pressure Balance Machine (EPBM), and Slurry Pressure Balance Machine (SPBM). This book focuses on driven tunnels.

This versatile handbook:

• Offers clear and accessible coverage of the state of the art in tunnel construction
• Introduces the essentials of design and construction of many types of tunnels, including TBM, EPB, Roadheader, NATM, drill and blast, and soft ground tunneling
• Provides nontechnical guidance on selecting the most appropriate tunneling methods for various situations
• Includes a brief history of tunneling and an introduction to geotechnical considerations
• Discusses tunnel access shaft construction, mucking methods, tunnel haulage, grout, water handling, and much more

Practical Tunnel Construction is an important resource for students, construction managers, tunnel designers, municipal engineers, or engineers who are employed by government agencies or corporations that are exploring the feasibility of planning and designing or building a tunnel.
