Bücher von John Donaldson

John Donaldson (1928-2014) wrote The Spring Creek that was to capture the Spring Creek that he remembered in his youth. Chances are you never traveled through Spring Creek during the thirties, forties, or fifties, because not many people did. His father, LR, was a Republican who owned the general store, while his mother was a pro-Roosevelt Democrat who served as a deacon in the Congregational church. Despite poverty and passionate political squabbles, we know the country survived. And in ironic hindsight, the one thing that all friends, relatives, and neighbors would have agreed upon is that -back then-they never realized that they were supposed to have been depressed in his in the Depression.John Donaldson was reared in Spring Creek Pennsylvania and attended Thiel Collage in Northern Pennsylvania. He published many technical papers about electroplating and metal finishing and has been a featured columnist for magazines in the metalworking industry. When he retired, the author resided in California where he worked as a consultant and wrote these funny books about his youth.This book is the combination of John's two book, "The Spring Creek That Was" and "A Spring Creek, PA Scrapbook". There is a great deal of overlap in the topics between the two books, so I have merged them into one. Please see John's Donaldson's other funny books on Spring Creek, "When Turkey Talked and Politicians were People" and "Accidental All Star" -Don

Hume's 1779 book on the existence of God remains vastly influential. Using the conceit of a cleverly crafted fictional conversation, Dialogues argues on the one hand that a universe that looks designed must have a designer-and that if it has as 'an uncaused first cause,' that cause can only be God.

Many players are attracted to the Dragon Sicilian, but are put off by the fierce mating attacks that White can launch. In the Accelerated Dragon, Black aims for an improved version, saving a move with his queen's pawn. If White tries to ignore the difference, Black's instant detonation of the centre will come as an unwelcome cold shower! The authors show that White's main reply, the Maroczy Bind, is not so fearsome as was once thought. Black has many ways to break out, while quite often it is possible to manoeuvre around White's 'binding' pawns and show that they imprison White's pieces as much as they do Black's. Written by two outstanding experts on the Accelerated Dragon, this book offers complete coverage of all lines of the Accelerated Dragon and many ideas for breaking the critical Maroczy Bind.
