"Patience" debuted at number four on the UK Singles Chart and rose to number one in its second week, staying there for four weeks. It was the 8th best-selling single in the UK of 2006 and spent eleven weeks in the top ten, making it the longest that any Take That single had spent in the top ten until the release of 2007's "Rule The World". The song also became the 30th best selling single of 2007, the following year. The song just missed out on being the UK Christmas number one of 2006, being knocked off the top spot on Christmas Eve by X-Factor winner Leona Lewis' "A Moment Like This".

Chapters: Philip J. Klass, Donald Howard Menzel, Steuart Campbell,. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 24. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Philip Julian Klass (November 8, 1919-August 9, 2005) was an American journalist and UFO researcher with a background in electrical engineering. Klass was born in Des Moines, Iowa and died in Merritt Island, Florida. Klass was known for his skepticism regarding UFOs. In the ufological and skeptical communities, Klass tends to inspire strongly polarized appraisals. Klass has been called the "Sherlock Holmes of UFOlogy". In a 1999 interview, fellow debunker Gary Posner wrote that despite some recent health problems, the 80 year-old "Klass's mind - and pen - remain razor sharp, to the delight of his grateful followers and to the constant vexation (or worse) of his legions of detractors." In contrast, ufologist Jerome Clark wrote in 2003 that Klass was "an obsessed crank who contributed little to the UFO debate except noise, strange rhetoric, pseudoscientific speculation, and character assassination." Longtime ufologist James W. Moseley illustrates the ambivalence many UFO researchers feel about Klass. On the one hand, Moseley argues that Klass was sincere in his motives, and that his work ultimately benefited the field of Ufology. Moseley contends that, when pressed, most leading ufologists would admit that Klass knew the subject and the people involved, and was welcomed, or at least pleasantly tolerated at UFO meetings (Moseley ...

Chapters: Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, Jason Orange. Excerpt:Gary Barlow Gary Barlow (born 20 January 1971 in Frodsham , Cheshire ) is an English singer-songwriter , pianist and producer . He is a member of the pop group Take That and was one of the most successful songwriters of the 1990s, penning 16 hit singles during the decade. Barlow has had two No.1 hits and a No.1 album along with five other top 40 UK singles as a solo singer in the last half of the 1990s, and has had 11 No.1 singles and 7 No.1 albums with Take That . He is a five-time recipient of the prestigious Ivor Novello Award and has been voted the greatest British songwriter of all time. Early career In his autobiography, Barlow relates that his love of music began at an early age. "I was one of those kids that's forever dancing in front of the TV looking at my reflection." He said he enjoyed watching Top Of The Pops on television, and when he was ten years old, he watched an episode of the programme in which Depeche Mode were performing their new single "Just Can't Get Enough ". Barlow was mesmerised by the sound and decided he wanted a keyboard for Christmas. For the next few years, he spent most of his spare time teaching himself to play his favourite songs. Aged 15, Barlow entered a BBC Pebble Mill at One competition called A Song For Christmas with a song called Let's Pray For Christmas . After getting through to the semi-finals, he was invited to London's West Heath Studios to record his song. This inspired Barlow to perform on the northern club circuit, singing cover versions and his own songs. Aged 18 in 1989, he appointed Wigan show business agent Barry Woolley to be his manager and recorded a single ( Love Is In The Air ) under the stage name Kurtis Rush. After the single's commercial ... ... Read more

Product Description
It is little known that the Revolutionary War and the writing of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights were strongly influenced by Native American traditions. European philosophers of the Enlightenment such as Jean Jacques Rousseau had begun pressing for democratic reforms in Europe on the basis of glowing reports by early settlers about the New World and its native inhabitants.

The founding fathers of the United States, in turn, were inspired to fight for independence and to create the great American documents of freedom through contact with Native American statesmen and exposure to American Indian societies based on individual freedom, representative government and the democratic union of tribes. Yet American Indians have never been acknowledged for their many contributions to the founding of the United States of America, and they have never been permitted to fully share the benefits of the freedoms they helped establish.

Exiled in the Land of the Free is a dramatic recounting of early American history and an eloquent call for reform that will not be ignored. Written by eight prominent Native American leaders and scholars, each a specialist in his area of expertise, Exiled in the Land of the Free: Democracy, Indian Nations and the U. S. Constitution is a landmark volume, sure to be read by generations to come.

An aspect of American history that has been ignored and denied for centuries is the extent to which we are indebted to Native Americans for the principles and practices on which our democratic institutions are based. This is the first work to recognize that legacy and trace our model of participatory democracy to its Native American roots. This book, which was written into the Congressional Record, has major implications for future relations between Indian tribes and the governments of the United States and other nations. It presents the strongest case ever made for Native American sovereignty. American history has finally been written--not from the European point of view--but from an Indian perspective. Exiled in the Land of the Free has been adopted for courses in twelve universities, to date. ... Read more

Exiled in the Land of the Free
Exiled in the Land of the Free provides an excellent and in depth coverage of issues extremely important to the American Indian nations within the United States.Some of the issues addressed are sovereingty, trust resposibility, and a critical look at the involvement of American Indians in the development of the USA's political system. The essays are extremely well written and quote many primary sources.It would be a very helpful tool for anyone who works in policy making decisions regarding American Indian nations. ... Read more
