Bald Eagle Vision 2


Book Description

In this novel, Rory Flynn, son of Matt Flynn, the co-inventor of the Red Box Antigravity Device which revolutionized global transportation, is the billionaire grandfather of Nolan Flynn. Grandpa takes his 17-year-old grandson on a week-long tour of the national capital region. Their Turbopod multi-vehicle (T-Pod) carries them to key sites around the Chesapeake Bay. The journey begins and ends at the family home, Beauvista, overlooking Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. The purpose of the tour is to educate the young man about the many “ISMs” like Americanism, Federalism, Racism, Socialism and Communism. In addition to the Capitol, the duo visits museums, galleries, monuments, golf courses and French restaurants. Grandpa wants his grandson to “smell the roses along the way.” The youth has a rude awakening during a visit to a Middle School where the ugliness of the white versus black racism is taught. The role of the Teacher’s Unions in brainwashing the students with racism in order to divide the country for the Socialist government is clear. In addition, Nolan gets a lifetime lesson about how the Chinese Communists have infiltrated American society in preparation for a complete take-over. In the end, Nolan realizes why the Flynn Family has been dedicated to the fight against Socialism and Communism for decades. The tour convinces the savvy youth to take up the torch for American Patriotism. He takes pride in his new vision, much like that of the Bald Eagle, to dedicate his life to the fight against the ugly “ISMs” attempting to end our Democracy and Free-Enterprise economy and turn our country into a Third-World state controlled by Beijing.




American Eagle


Book Description

A bold expression of a fledgling republic's aspirations and bravado, the American bald eagle has been designed, drawn, illustrated, stamped, engraved, painted, sculpted, carved, photographed, and etched by thousands of artists and artisans since 1782, when it first appeared as the central figure on the Great Seal of the United States. As America's most versatile emblem, the eagle emanates confidence during peace and prosperity, and strength during crisis and war; as a North American native species it exemplifies nature's grandeur and the advance of conservation. In all, the bald eagle is a stirring national symbol made all the more vibrant by its indisputable dominion in the sky. American Eagle: A Visual History of Our National Emblem is a visual survey that explores the eagle in American life. A remarkable book that represents American culture, politics, and history, American Eagle will be the definitive source of this national icon for generations to come.




Bald Eagles In The Wild


Book Description

The majestic Bald Eagle was adopted in 1782 as America’s official bird. It has historically been a symbol of freedom and patriotism in the United States of America, and for good reason. The bird is associated with authority and has a fierce beauty that speaks to those who look upon it. Today, the Bald Eagle is a protected species. Once on the brink of extinction, it is currently enjoying a comeback. In this book, wildlife and bird photography specialist Jeffrey Rich showcases over 150 of his storytelling photographs of Bald Eagles and shares insights into the birds’ habitat, feeding habits, mating patterns, the care of their young, and more. Readers will marvel over images of birds in flight, in nests with their young, at rest, preening, and capturing prey, as Rich chronicles the daily lives, in detail, of America’s favorite bird.

Photoreceptor Optics


Book Description

The above consideration indicates that at present many of the experi mental facts on PS in animals can be quantitatively explained within the limits of the "universal" photoreceptor membrane concept. Of course, existence of preferential orientation of the absorbing dipoles in the tubuli of the rhabdomeres can not be totally rejected. We hope that the concept of the "universal" photoreceptor membrane may serve as the useful instrument when dealing with newly discovered properties of visual cells so that true mechanisms of electrical and optical coupling will be searched for instead of assumptions being made on additional properties of the photoreceptor membrane in every new animal under study. 5. Absorption Spectrum of the Universal Photoreceptor Membrane and Spectral Sensitivity of the Photoreceptor 5. 1 Preliminary Notes It seems nearly self-evident that the absorption spectrum of the pho toreceptor membrane coincides exactly with that of the visual pigment it contains. Hence, the membrane must exhibit three bands of absorp tion - the principal band with its peak within the limits of visible spectrum (or a-peak); the secondary band between 340 and 380 nm (S peak); and the third, protein band, in the ultraviolet (UV) at 280 nm (COLLINS et al. , 1952). The main peak of absorption is located within the range 433-575 nm for retinol-based pigments and between 438 and 620 nm for 3-dehydroretinol-based pigments, the position of Amax de pending on many ecological factors.




The Eagle on My Arm


Book Description

In October 1967, eighteen-year-old Patrick Bradley enlisted in the US Army and was later deployed to North Vietnam as a special operator with missions to kill high-value targets. Combat left him physically and psychologically wounded, as it does many veterans, and Bradley struggled to adjust when he returned home. He seemed destined for military prison after an altercation in which he broke a superior officer's jaw, but his life changed forever when a psychiatrist recommended a unique path for healing. Thanks to a program sponsored by the Canadian government, Bradley traveled to Canada to study bald eagles and document their behavior. He found himself recovering while living alone in the wild with minimal supplies or human contact. At the same time, his work was paving the way for groundbreaking research, including the discovery of a link between the use of the pesticide DDT and a decrease in southern bald eagle populations. Later, he forged a successful career training and managing wild animals and committed himself to helping other wounded warriors by cofounding the Avian Veteran Alliance, a nonprofit that pairs veterans suffering from PTSD and physical injuries with injured birds of prey. The Eagle on My Arm tells Bradley's inspirational story for the first time. This moving account reveals how a soldier became a dedicated healer, using his years of study and solitude to face his demons and turn his pain into a lifelong passion for helping others.
