Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American businessman, a major philanthropist, and the founder of the Carnegie Steel Company which later became U.S. Steel. He considered the U.S. as the role model for democratic government. In 1886, he penned his most radical work, entitled Triumphant Democracy. The work was an attempt to argue his view that the American republican system of government was superior to the British monarchical system. He devoted his life to the work of providing the capital for purposes of public interest and was a powerful supporter of the movement for spelling reform as a means of promoting the spread of the English language.
Uncommon Sleeping Pills is a collection of original short stories with a range of settings, situations and significant moments in history from the early Crusades to modern times. A stimulating flow of creative prose is enhanced by several poetic wanderings into deep space. Come fly with frontline fighter pilots of WWII, follow the strategy of a lethal game of chess, witness the troubling dilemmas of uncompromising youth, follow the conflicting loyalties of a domesticated wolf cub, laugh along with the misadventures of a young service family, view a puzzling world through the eyes of a cross-eyed cat, and much, much more. These are not the sedative sleeping pills you might prescribe for a peaceful voyage into la-la land, but they'll make staying awake much more interesting.
She walked into the West L.A. night with a bottle of sleeping pills in her hand. The problem for Lew Archer was that she had taken the pills from him and was in the mood to use them. Her family was behind a huge oil spill that lapped like blood against the California coast, while a 30-year-old family secret refused to stay buried beneath all that money and power. Now the girl was missing, two men were dead, and there was oil everywhere. Sometimes, it only takes one spark.
